THE ISLAND IT8 USKS INHABITANTS.

By looking on tbe map one maysee that this little island is, at present, tbe southernmost part of theUnited States. Originally, the islandwas a coral reef, but successive ageshave each' in their turn left additionalverdure and shrubbery until it hasbecome one 6f the most importantstations in tbe South. Not that theproduce of the island actually amountsto anything" 'of importance, for besyond a few cbcoanut trees, an occa-sional lime and tamarind tree, andyet "fflore seldom a plantain bush,there 1s nothing eatable grown on theisland. But the verdure is refreshingto the eye.and the shrubbery is shadv.

says :

Tb bill proposes to appropriate themm of $25,000 annually, lor ten years,and allow the company constructiisg the-lock- s

the right to charge 73 cents per tonupon all merchandise passing through theluck. Apropos of this, the People'sTransportation Co. introduces a proposit-ion to build locks from their basin for$150,000, reserving the right to charge 50rnt.i only, per ton. as toll. Their proposal Will-cos- t the fctate $100,600 less ex-pense than is contemplated 'by the 'bill,and fifty per cent, in tolls. Tb,price nowcharged for hauling by Wagons from U

No. C'. First st., Tortlind, Oregon.

The island contains a population ofsotne 0,000 people, about one half ofwhom are colored, all of whom man-age, after their fashion, to eke out asubsistence.

The Government has a large forthere, very large and commodious bar-racks, where there are constantlyquite a force of soldiers kept, I sup-pose, to get them acclimated." JBe

sides, the island has been la'rery im.portant coaling station for Goverii-ruen- t

steamers during the war andthe trade thus brought in kept up thelife of the place until 'he war ended,when it retUfhed to its present con-

dition, best defined by the superlativedegree of dull. Soldiers and sailors,however, will exchange their hard-earne- d

'currency for the perishablethhigs which gratify the 'taste, andhence the Key Westers exist. Thereare two passable hotels, and .perhapsfive well built houses on the island.Besides these 'five, with the exceptionof the Government buildings, the restof!Key West is an accretion of in-

built, tumbledown shanties, whichwould disgrace the worst miningcamp in Idaho, during the war,however, these shanties did a tbfiv.ing business. Though the island wasunder martl law, yet it did not pre-vent them from peddling bad rum,or keeping a room Tor a quiet game,at which game ye gallant navy officeroften left enough to Support his familyfor a year.

The proclivities of the place havebeen most intensely seccsh. Mallory,the re"bel Secretary of the Navy, andthe buHder cf trie fa-re ous Atlanta,had his home here. The house inwhich he 'Iivtd before 'the rebellion isin sight from where 1 write a whitecottage with green blinds, two dor-mer windows, and surrounded by afew stimted cocoaftut trees j like thelate Secretary, nothing remarkableeither way. Some of the leadin"citizens, at the time of the firing onSumter, sent down word to the com-

mandant of Fort Taylor that he musthaul down the United States fl g andrun up the spcesh thing. Command-ant Major French sent back wordthiftif tfcey oiQ sot take down all to-

kens of Secession ftying from theirhouses within thirty minutes, hewould kindly help them to do so,even at the expeuse of Governmentpowder, arid the loss of a few shells.He then turned his guns on the townand th seccsh rag came down withinthe allotted time. After that Mal- -

lory left. The secesh bft ds ate nowwinging their way bac&, compiaml'ngof dull times. But you will ask mehow the people all live, now that thewar is eirded and the sti;!urs departed.1 answer,

8POKGE.Not that kind of sponging done in

the Web-fo- ot State,where they some'-tim- es

sponge a man out of a dinner,a breakfast, a Siiit of clothes, or whatnot, but veritable sponges, hauled upfrom the rocks of the sea.cured, dried,baled and sold. Ench year sees thisbranch of trade increase; last year itwas over $100,000, which, for a placelike this, is quite an item.

Method of gkttis(g the sonIse.The persons who engage in this

business have boats, hooks and grapnels. Thev start off earlv in themorning, row or sail to some of themany reels which abound off thecoast, and there, While One or two ofthe men steady the boat by deans ofweights, or" stohe anchors," as theyare termed, the others Ipt down theirpoles with honks, (something like aboat hook,) and hook the sponge fromthe rocks and hatll it Ititd-th- e boat.This is Called "gathering" the sponge;'and many a day may pastf beforethey are enabled to gather one sponge.First, because the sea is too rouchand they cannot steady their boat(for the best sponge grows between15 and 90 feet under water) to getthe hook properly placed" about therock ; and next, if it is ever so calm,and tho fish make a disturbance inthe water to stir bp the sediraent,-the- y

cannos see where the sponge is,and they can do nothiog until it is

clear and calm again. Sometimes awhole month passes without theirbeing able to take a sponge, and thenin one da thev mar collect enorjffhj v m Jto par tbem a hondred dollars. Likeall others who 44 go down to the sea."they are exceedingly thriftlcsa and
