Ober.oo It may or may not bo gonorally known, hit the first Christmas celubrntloa In America took plnco In tho West Indies ind In the very year that America was Uncovered. There was not much fes llvlty about It, to bo sure, (or tho Drat luiilvarsary of tho Nativity In tbo new world found' the participant! la a trite of mind not conducive to meny oaklng or cheerful entertainment. Tho greet navigator, Cblstopbcr Ce .ttmlMis, who showed the civilized world tho way across tho Atlantic, was ainntur of ceremonies, and bo had Ut ile roason for rejoicing, for oo Christ mas ovo, Mf)2, ho hnd lost his flag ihlp, tho Bonta Mnrln, which had run in a reof on tho north const of Haiti, fortunately for him and his crow, the nntlve Indians of tbo Island wero friendly, and they not only came to bis rescue, but saved all the wreckage of lis voasel, which they piled up on tbo jench at Gunrlco, near tbo present city f Capo Haitian. Tho Indian caclquo lid all be could to allny tho grief of the Spaniards and on Christmas day iprcad a banquet to .which, they were nvltcd and at which many' of bis peo ple acted In the capacity of servants. This was the first Christmas dinner n 1 America, and at this aboriginal 'spread" so many new and strange ar :lclcs of food wero offered tbo Span nrda that Columbus made a note of !hein, so we uro enabled to stato ezact y what they were. In the first place, :bcre was id alio, or Indian corn, which :ho liuropenus may have seen In tbo Unhamas, but which they bad not cat ;n before. In fact, the golden kernels .arrled back to Spnln by Coluuibua '.torn this Qrst voyage to America were Hie first ibnlvcT reached olcj world, and It woTiuauy years after Iliat before brown bread -and "Injun pudding" became at all common on the table of European royalty. One of tho curious tubers offered tbo Spaniards that day by the Indian chief tain In Haiti was the manioc, or cas lava, from which the aborigine made their dally bread. They were the orig inator also of the caasareop, or West Indian pepper pot, made by throwing piece of meat of all kind Into an rut riosT cnnisTUAs dixhkb in an erica. earthen vessel; where It was preserved for any length of timo by the antiseptic properties of tho manioc. ... Christopher was so taken with tbe pepper pot, according to a local tradi tion, that be hogged tbe reclpe.from tbe native chef and took. It homo to Queen Isabella but whether she appreciated the article or not baa not been record ed... Another tuber, the yam, was also served up after roasting In tbe ashes, but It Is doubtful If tbe potato was on the festal board, though It may as well have been found In the highlands, of Haiti as Iu South America, where It Is said to have been discovered long aft er. Anyway, there were several now fruits, all troplcul, such as tbe guava, custard spplo, so pot a and pineapple, nnd In meats there was a great varie ty, for the Indians shot and trapped the wild pnrrot, pigeon, . doves, agouti, Iguana and the utla, the three last named being aulmals ludlgenous to tho Island. , . : There was one function at that ban quet wblcb Columbus may havo In dulged In, though ho has left no record of having been suddenly Indisposed, and that Is tobacco smoking. He had seen Indians on tho coast of Cuba roll up dry leaves of a plant unknown to blm and after lighting one end of the roll Inhale and puff out tho smoke thereof with evident enjoyment But at this banquet bo was astonished to sea tho chief nnd his big men cram portions of tbe weed Into a curious pipe, wltb a branched stem shaped like the letter Y and after Inserting a stem Into each nostril proceed to fuddle themselves wltb tho narcotic, to the great disgust of the Spaniards, who bad a few vices of their own, even thon, but did not smoke. It wns only because they did not know bow, but Co lumbus lost an opportunity for adding another laurel to his Immortal wreath, and left to Sir Walter Raleigh the In troduction of smoking Into Europo n century Inter. Tbo main object of this article Is to point out that down In tho West In dies, whero dwell our nearest foreign neighbors, and whero wo hnvo a tidy llttlo Island of our own In Porto Rlco,x tho first Christmas anniversary In America was celebrated aud tbo first dinner eaten with aboriginal Indians as the hosts, The Oldest and Best - t K.
