The Treasury Bureau of Statis tics has prepared a statement of information on the Danish. islands, which have just come into the con trol of the United States through the treaty lately ratified with Ded mark. 'rThese island are St. Thomas, St. I ,hn and St. Croix, the last being hbbt known for the rum made there and extensively imported in to the United States. These is ,,rwis lie off the eastern coast of P Rie º. ,,mIl are in fact a mere , -,iil of the marine elevation, F which Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and , 1 r the principal re , ..e they ai, i ri a conLectiun link between the Greater and the Lesser An tilles. St. Thomas, the best knwu *.f thte -routp, lies 38 mi,. tre-wliy of P.ºrto Ric,; t.

The islands are small, with a comparatively small producing ca pacity, their chief importance be ing by reason of their harbors which they offer and their value from a strategic as well as general commercial standpoint. St. Croix, the largest of them, is about 20 miles and from 1 to 5 miles wide, with an area of about 80 square -tiles, andl a population of about I'20,000. It is also the most' pro Sl'ctive of the islands, a considera :, ;:lea being devoted to the pro duction of sugar cane and tropical fruits, and agriculture being the occupation of a large proportion of the population. There are two towns on the island, Fredriksted, with a population 'of 3,600, and . Christiansted, with a population of 5,500. The latter is located up on the chief harbor of the island, which, however, is choked with mad and of much less importance than the harbors of either of the other islands. St. John, the smallest of the tb islands, has an area of but about 21 square miles, and a population of only about 1,000, and a compar atively small cultivable area, its q chief value being in its possibili ties for harbor purposes, the natural harbor of Coral bay being described as one of the best pro tected natural harbors in the West Indies, but at present little Sused. St. Thomas, which lies nearest to Porto Rico, is by far the most im portant in its present availability ad for harbor purposes, the harbor of d Charlotte Amalia having been for more than a century reeognised as one of the best, if not the beat natural harbor in the entire West Indian group, and having been during all that time a central point as a harbor of refuge and -lpoint of exchange for merzhan. dise and a coaling station for ves sels from all parts of the world With paasages through which it is easily reached, a good depth of water and excellent protection from the bhurricanes to which that region is subject, it has long been regarded as an extremely valuable harbor, and when Denmark, in the early part of the nineteenth contury, made it a free port, it be came the distributing point for the commerce of the entire West Indlian aronip As a consequence aear ly tihe entire population of the r. island is ~~jlj I around the port of Charlotte Amalia, tflly 10,000 of the 12,500 population living in this city, and lees than 2,000 being engaged in agricul- C ture. The total area of these islands is 183 square miles, with an aggre gate population of about 33,000. , The population is chiefly colored, descendants of former slaves who - were liberated in 1848, English being the chief language spoken, especially in the island of St. Thomas, which has been for many years a resort for vessels from English-speaking countries. These islands form a part of the eastern boundary of the Caribbean sea, and the importance of St. Thomas I for a great naval station constitu tee their chief value to the United ;Statas, whenever at shall become u nece-sary for this New World pow re to dominate these Caribbean t waters and the ship canal through :.- rm riean isthmus.

L erisfa. , Our good neighbors have never id been satisfied with their railroad in arrangements-it has offered their P people too easy access to the trade d, emporiums of this place. bh The switching facilities at Cade some few years ago were not en te tirely satisfactory to the Bailroad Company. They wanted a Y ae there, but had not been able to ac ot complish it, on account of a cer mn tain real estate owner demauding a. an excessive price for the necesse ta ry right-of-way. The business i-. people of this place came to the ýe rescue, put up a part of the por g chase money for the right of way o- in question, (the railroad company de the balance) on the condition that le the road's trains should make New Iberia their terminal. It was to thought that the arrangement . would be beneficial to tne travell ty ing public and has been in opera. of tion for some time smoothly. or Night Was Her Terror.
