fever season the New York steamers are not
allowed to go alongside the docks at Key
West, but must anchor off the shore, and
lighter their merchandise and passengers to
the pier, and take on no passengers or freight.
If they do otherwise, the Galveston city au-

The United States government has naval
station on this Key, and has fortified it very

stone, mounting some two hundred and fifty
guns, portion of them Of the largest calibre,
also three sand batteries of immense strength,
with enormous guns in position. None Of
these works, as intimated before, are finish

risoned.

Keys, as nearly every one knows, is TIE work

The expectation of iron ore from thi.
country to England is raising the question
why this ore should not be manufactured
in this country instead of going to Eng.
land for that purpose. The English take
our raw cotton and return it to us in cloth,
and now they are taking ore and coal to
send us back cutlery and other products
of their industry. Many people think this
manufacturing ought to do done on this
