DURING a s%oiourn of a few days in st. 1homaS
we had an opportunity to learn how dlss 'tlsfled
the community of that Island is with It's very
ineffective Police. Several robberles have OF
late been commit ted, which, from the manner
in which they appear to have been effected
show plainly that the perpetrators are an Or
ganiZed set of thieves. Not the slightest trace
Of these thieves has been obtained by nc 70
lice, and the complaint IS that, as hAuch as
$l6,1tG is paid yearly BY the community lf
the Police Establishment without deriving any
substantial benefit for the outlay.
On Sunday evening last a band OF German
musicians played in the Emancipation Garden
and contributed much to the enjoyment OF a
large number of ladies and gentlemen who visit
ed that garden. The ~softness and harmony OF
the music was much admired, and the musicians
were much applaudpd. The military band eX-
&c uted as usual a few ShOrt-Winded pieces IN
the afternoon but the contrast etWeen the
two bands is too great to allow OF any compar-
iSon. We do not mean TO asCrlbe this defect
to the director for to obtain good music out OF
such homogeneous elements as his band IS com
posed Of is a sheer impossibility. 10 take men
from the ranks and teach them In the course OF
a few months to play a few tunes cannot make
musicians Of them and then no sooner than
these men have acquired some proficiency they
are discharged as having served their time.
Added to this, the pay given these men, from
one dollar to one dollar and a half per month,
is just sufficient encouragement to make them
careless.
1t is astonishing how, during the last sixteen
to twenty years, our colonial administrations
have apparently ceased to consider it necessary
to maintain that respect for national civiIiza-
ton and love of the arts, which receives so
much encouragement in the mother-conntry.
French, German, and American bands have
each in turn visited the Island of st. Thomas,
each one discoursing beautiful and armonlc
music, and yet our ow II bands are allowed
to remain as imperfect and m~usically chaotic
as possible. Should it not be the pride of

Register, talks of laziness as follows /:
" A lazy woman is to be expected, now
aud then !; but a lazy man -who has
patience with him? A being with
strong hands and mind, who spends
half his time lounging in stores and
Offices, is certainly to be considered
the most ridiculous thing on earth. 1t
is an outrage upon the masculine part
of the community to call him man,
and the feminine portion of the world
would never be so utterly disgraced
as to claim such useless being. He
is merely an existence. The work he
does is to stare about with his lazy
eyes, and keep his lazy hands in his
lazy mans pockets, for fear somebody
might ask him to hold a parcel for q
moment, or lend the aid Of his little
finger in some fearful work. That
would strike terror into his very life.
Work poor fellow, how he shiyers
and shakes. ! hope all the clerks in
the several stores Of our city will be
considerable enough to offer these poor
things chairs when they drag their
weary limbs into their places of abode.
Let the poor things sit by the stove
and keep warm, it's SO bad and I'M
comfortable to, get cold. Ask them il
they are well, and beparticularly kind
to them. Don't make them feel sad,
If you have anything nice, show it to
them. for they like to look at the goods
if they don't have the trouble to ask
for them. Poor things! poor things
