Itis at first difficult to believe that Key
West is in the United States. Here are
found Americans, Spaniards, Cubans, West
India negroes and American negroes, and
these all mixed into every shade of color.
There are from twelve to fifteen thousand
people in Key West. It's buildings are
mostly of wood. and constructed with yer
andas on oil sides to shut off the heat which
broils animal life for eight months in the
year. i. There is no country about it TO stas-
tain greater population than it now has.
II has some trade with the inhabitants OF
the keys, or islands, eastward and north
ward ON the Atlantic coast % far as Indian
River inlet. But these people are poor and
their wants are few. Their trade 10 carried
ON by means of small sailing vessels, which
can 90 among the reefs and through the
sounds and inlsts that skirt the entire
coast. and thus. gain access 20 the nan ~
land when they wish to. On the Gulf coast
there are no inhabitants until Panfa hassa

the Cuban or international Ocean telegraph

the place is the manufacture Of cigars
which rank in commercial value next etc

New York Sixty Years Ago.
Editor q Easy Chair in Hs,ne,,s Maysotns f,,, A.

Editor Easy Chair in Harpers Magazine for August
Sixty years ago shrewd observer landed
here from England and wrote the inevita-
bic description OF the town. Tt was but
two generations ago, ys. the moderate pro-
portion Of the seaport had then kindled NO
sense OF rivalry. Indeed, only few years
before. little Newport, in Rhode Island,
was commercially unimportant. 1t is a
pleasant, opulent and airy city, says the
gccd-natured reporter, for which nature
has done everything and art nothing. The
only public building worth noticine-hear
it, urbane wilderness of architectural tri-
umphs !-is the city hall. Poor old city
hall, with its rear of dark stone, because,
according to tradition, the growth of the
city was not likely TO bring the rear into
much obser vation. The simple economy
assumed in this touching tradition casts =
fairy glamour over the municipal story.
It suggests public spirit, civic virtue,
Q political conscience, which would not
waste money even upon public work. It
is beautiful legend of fable. The new
court house is now Immediately behind the
city hall-the Haunting monument of enor-
nous public thefts and unspeakable con-
tempt for civic honesty. But as the OBJ
server saw no splendor, she also saw no
poverty. Within cannon-shot of the new
court house, the mine of our vulgar Sarda-
napalus, are now dens of poverty and
squalor and crime as wretched and repul-
sive as those OF any great city but our OBJ
server found only streets of private COM
Portable dwellings in that New York of the
golden age-no dark alleys, no novels, no
dark and gloomy cellars, with noisome at
mosphere and vexing population. Success
full industry, she exclaims, has everywhere
fixed it's abode. Before she died the OBJ
server had gained much notorlety in the
happy land and town that she celebrated.
For our observer was Miss Fanny Wright,
. familiar name in the angry social, politi-
cal and religious contests of forty and fifty
years ago.

IRISH GIRLS OF THE PERIOD.
THE YOUNG GIRL OF TO-DAY Is EDUCATED
FOR MUSIC AND MATRIMoNY.


Baltimore Sun. 4..e.@
In Dublin, young lady is educated for
music Or matrimony-or both. She is a
perpetual piano player or a constant hus-
band-seeker. There are no longer the
Baby Blakes Or the Lady Gay Spank
ers" of yore; her follies as to field sp orts
are no more. The Irish girl of the period
abhors defamation about woman's rights.
She generally takes them-in a Platonic
way. She is much more Irish than the men,
twice as witty and ten times as intriguing.
These girls haye an indescribable way of
capturing you mentally at ieast) before
you know where you are They are fine
looking rather than pretty, and command
ias zasa.er ts.au soqursash, got they have
their share of all that ubiquitous family.
In point of education they are more glitter
ing than English girls, and more solid. than
the American. They dress too much-an
excess of fal-ahs. Frills and lace, bog bak
and ribbons, abound about these girls, and
their merry laughter and soft-solder dash
of grammachree ma cushla" serve to
make them intensely interesting, even at
the respectable distance they invariably
keep you. The type of the Irish girl, with
her rosy and white complexion, her large
blue eyes and auburn hair, in her 18th year
is more Of child than an American girl of
thirteen.
The Irish girl of the period has one
bright star ever before her in the heaven of
her hopes-a husband with title, She
had rather be poor Lady splurge than par.
venu Mrs. Shady. Yet she is the most
loving and devoted of wives-when prop.
erly welded. The irish girl loves to make
noise IN the world-has grand passion
for dash. She will leap social five bar
gates and double stone walls to get the
right man, while she would prefer to be
an old moping maid rather than be chained
to the wrong one. She dislikes tame one
and can control a wild one. In the conr-
age of her opinion shs excels both as tn
quality and quantity. She would rather
rule in certain dreadful place below than
to serve IN better one above.

How the Indians Made Their Arrow-Heads,

A young man in the Smithsonian Insti-
tute (writes the Washington correspondent
of the Cleveland Lesdsr} has just made
public the discovery Of the method employ-
ed In making the stone and volcanic glass
into arrow-heads, daggers, knives. axes and
razors of the prehistoric races. Up to this
time this has been great problem to all
antiquarian students, bnt no theory has
ever been advanced showing 80 practical
results as Cush,ng's. He started to solve
the difficulty by putting himself in the
Identical position of the Aztecs or Mound
Ruilders--withaats sanRthins-tazmaf. 4zitlaa
and his hands. After making some rude
implements by chipping one flint with
another he discovered that no amount of
chipping would produce surfaces like the
best of those which he was trying to initiate.
He therefore came to the conclusion that
these vas another way of doing 1t, and, by
chance, tried pressure with the point OF %
stick, instead of chipping by blows of
stone when, presto he found that he could
break stone, flint and obsidian in any shape
he chose. Soon he had made spear-heads
and daggers that would cut as we'll as
any he had before him. which had been
picked up from all over the world. BY a
little more observation, he found that the
sflaking," which he calls his process, on
the old arrowhead, left grooves that all
turned one way. he produced like result
| by turning his stick the easiest way, from
right TO left. He therefore concludes that
the prehistorics were .right-handed people
| like ourselves. This conclusion is re- in
forced by the fact that occasionally an ar
| row head is found that has fakes running
from left to right, showing a left-handed
person. The Importance Of the discovery
is that it shows that the early races were
| able to do this work without the use OF
| iron or bronze-a thing long doubted.

Coon ENoUGH FOR A RoMANCE.-A ro-
matte tale, how true We cannot say, is told
of the late Prince Imperial, which now
serves to explain the unusual grief display
ed by the royal family at the untimely
death of the young Napoleon. The Prince,
the story goes, was passionately in love
with the Princess Beatrice, and at a ball
one memorable night, in the interval be-
tween the dances, she said, "I had rather
see you in battlefield than in a quadrille. ,"
Her wish was law to him, and to the battle
field he went TO prove his devotion. On
parting with the Queen she placed a idia,
gnond ring upon his finger, and it may be
that he then revealed his hearts secret.
When at last She news came that the fail
scion of noble honse had been. slain by
the savage assegai, the Princess was over
come with gaief and remained long inaensi
BILE, while Victoria's visit TO the Empress wa
marked with the most profound tokens o
SORROW. The Prince of Wales said of th
murdered Napoleon, ''I loved him as a
| brether.'' There is much to corroh0rate
the story, which, If true, will ooly cas-
deeper regard over the memory OF on
whose life was 30 full of promise, and, alas
was blighted SO soon.-Gor. Boston 1ras

A Delicate Discussion.
Boston TRANSCRIPT,

E-..E
:, The Arminian community of Calcutta
appear to be engaged i'm delicate discus
sion with their Bishop. FOR some time
past, according TO one of the Indian papers,
they have demonstrated with him in vain
on account of the unreasonable length Of a
visit which he has been paying to them.
Over and over again they have beggsd him
torelieve himself of his pastoral duties and
no back to his country, assuring him that
his presence was mot necessary in Calcutta,
and shat they would get on we'll enough
without him. The Bishop, however, could
NOT see nasters in the same light, and
showed no sigus OF moving. They have,
therefore, by latest accounts. actnaily got
up petition, in which they earnestly but
respectfully beg his lordship to have the
goodness TO, leave the diocese. The rea-
SON they assign for thus urging him to 60
home is that he came to Calcutta merely on
a tour of inspection; that many months
have elapsed since. he arrived and, as ne
has exceeded the prescribed time allotted
TO INSPECTIONS of. this nature, it 10 really
high time that he shanld bid them fare
well. ta ~. 80 =
