Correspondence OF the boston JOurhal'I
Yhis beautiful island is rightly called
the = Gem of the Sparkling Carib Sea. "
Its charming and varied scenery re-
minds one, constantly of Switzerland.
Though known by many as possessing
the most mild, equable and healthy eli
mate on the globe, it seems to have been
generally overlooked and almost forgot
ten, because steam navigation is sup
posed to make other less desirable places
so much more accessible. 1t is located
little aside from the route OF ocean
steamers, yet it is only forty miles from
ST.. Thomas, the coaling station for
steamers of all nations, and where the
mails, freight and passengers are
landed for all the "Windward and
+" Leeward Islands" And now that
the United States and Brazil line OF
steamers is so we'll established (none
better ahoat), leaving New York
the 23d of each month february
excepted), connecting at st. Thomas
with excellent schoOners, which will at
once take passengers to Christisnsted or
West End in five or six hours, making
the entire trip from New York to the
island in six or seven days, the obJec-
tions as to access are easily removed.
As the actual facts become known, 1t
would seem that this island would soon
become the most popular of resorts for
those who are seeking a mild climate
during the winter and spring months
The temperature during the entire year
varies only some seventeen degrees, say
10 ~ to 81 degrees Fahrenheit averag-
ing about 10 degrees during the winter
and sprfag. The drives upon the island
are exhilsFating. The roads are magni-
6cent. surpassed but little by those OF
Central PARK. As the entire island has
been under cultivation for long period,
not an unhealthy spot can be tound.
The climate is rather too dry for the
planter. but its dryness is probably the
cause Of its being so healthy.
Good living is a certainty, as every
thing desirable is easily obtained. The
English language is the common Ian
qusge. The people are exceedingly
bospitable and polite, especially to
strangers. Climate, scenery, food and

From the Chicago Times, August S.l
She is fallenl We may now pause
before that splendid prodigy which tow
cred for centuries among US like some
ancient ruin whose frown terrified the
glance its magni6cence attracted.
Grand, gloomy and peculiar, she sat
upon her virgin throne, an austere and
ancient maiden, wrapped in the solitude
of single blessedness. A tempest upon
the rostrum, tornado at the polls,
a vortex in social life, whirlpool,
a maelstrom, a cloud burst, a rapid
old girl generally, she seemed always
as to virtue a very iceberg. Erotic pas
sion had, apparently, no course through
her veins; they bowed with the ice
brooks temper. Scorning her day and
generation, she seemed bent as far as
in her lay, on thwarting posterity by
leaving no copy of herself; and tradi-
ton has it that when Moses proclaimed
the decalogue she moved an amendment
to the seventh commandment, contem-
plating such condition of human at
fairs as would in short time have
brought the world to an ending But
she is fallen. Amid the crashing thun-
ders of her coming down we were lost in
such maze as to be incapable of com
ment. Even now it seems incred'
ible. The iceberg of virtue, melting in
the embrace of passionl But the tele-
graph tells the woful story, and IT we
would save a Titan-we- must sink a
Titaness; if we would spare Beecher we
must believe Bessie. Ali Susan, how
grandly and grimly you came down from
the prehistoric times, sitting in the
lapse of ages. That you should have
lapsed into other laps and become a
spectacle to Bessie and a salvation to
Beecher is, as to Bessie, terrible to con-
template. There is but one consolation
in the terrible story She jumped
pretty quick" Let US be thankful for
the celebrity of that jump. 1t showed
that there was yet in the old girl some OF
the activity of her antediluvian days, Il
it does not establish her desire to sail
again an iceberg through the ardent
seas. But she is fallen
