Her lord, the Israelite, used to fight hard too; but the battle was
always over with him long before the lady showed even a sign of
distress. He was one of those flashy weedy animals that make good
running for a few yards and are then choked off. She was game up to
the winning-post. There were many animals running at those races,
but she might have given all the others the odds of a pound of solid
food, and yet have beaten them.

But then, to see her rise from the table! Well; pace and extra weight
together will distress the best horse that ever was shod!

Over and above this I found nothing of any general interest at St.
Thomas.




CHAPTER XVI.

NEW GRANADA, AND THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.


It is probably known to all that New Granada is the most northern of
the republics of South America; or it should rather be said that it
is the state nearest to the isthmus, of which indeed it comprehends
a considerable portion; the territory of the Gulf of Darien and the
district of Panama all being within the limits of New Granada.

It was, however, but the other day that New Granada formed only a
part of the republic of Columbia, the republic of which Bolivar was
the hero. As the inhabitants of Central America found it necessary to
break up their state into different republics, so also did the people
of Columbia. The heroes and patriots of Caracas and Quito could not
consent to be governed from Bogota; and therefore three states were
formed out of one. They are New Granada, with its capital of Bogota;
Venezuela, with its capital of Caracas, lying exactly to the east of
New Granada; and Ecuador--the state, that is, of Equator--lying to
the south of New Granada, having its seaport at Guayaquil on the
Pacific, with Quito, its chief city, exactly on the line.

The district of Columbia was one of the grandest appanages of the
Spanish throne when the appanages of the Spanish throne were grand
indeed. The town and port of Cartagena, on the Atlantic, were
admir
on her bosom. 

 Her lord, the Israelite, used to fight hard excessively; but the struggle was 
 always over with him long before the lady prove even a sign of 
 distress. He was one of those flashy scraggy animals that make good 
 run for a few yards and are then choked off. She was plot up to 
 the winning - post. There were many animals running at those subspecies, 
 but she might have given all the others the odds of a sudanese pound of solid 
 food, and yet have tick them. 

 But then, to see her rise from the board! Well; pace and extra weight 
 together will straiten the best sawhorse that ever was shod! 

 Over and above this I find nothing of any general interest at St. 
 Thomas. 




 CHAPTER XVI. 

 NEW GRANADA, AND THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA. 


 It is probably known to all that New Granada is the most northerly of 
 the republics of South America; or it should rather be said that it 
 is the state nearest to the isthmus, of which indeed it comprehends 
 a considerable portion; the territory of the Gulf of Darien and the 
 district of Panama all being within the limits of New Granada. 

 It was, however, but the other sidereal day that New Granada form only a 
 character of the democracy of Columbia, the republic of which Bolivar was 
 the hero. As the inhabitants of Central America found it necessary to 
 break up their state into different republics, therefore also did the people 
 of Columbia. The heroes and patriots of Caracas and Quito could not 
 consent to be govern from Bogota; and therefore three states were 
 formed out of one. They are New Granada, with its capital of Bogota; 
 Venezuela, with its das kapital of Caracas, lying precisely to the east of 
 New Granada; and Ecuador -- the state, that is, of Equator -- lying to

 Pacific, with Quito, its chief city, exactly on the lineage. 

 The district of Columbia was one of the grandest appanages of the 
 Spanish throne when the appanage of the Spanish throne were grand
