LIFE OF FRENCH EDIToR.-Thc following
from the Paris correspondent of the St Louis
Republican describes the manner in which Mon
sieur teron. tine celebrated editor of the Com
sttuiionei passes his time:
Monsieur Ncron has his petit Lever, (Which
means, reception in his drcssing-gown,) during
which the story writers of his paper submit their
WORT, to him. lie is seated in large easy chair;
and the reader, who is often a member of the
academy. stands before the mantlepiece Veron
cruciseS, approves, disapproyes, with a look or a
smile; points out here and there a correction; and
when reading is finished "A slight gesture ofthe
hand informs the author that he may retire At
twelve O'Clock. NcrOn breakfasts and converses
with his head publisher, who brings him a copy
Of the mornings paper. AttW o'cock, if the
weather is fine. he repairs to the garden of the
TWl riys, where he has his linden tree, as ST.
Louis bad his oak at Ninccmcs. About twenty
chairs are ranged round this tree, which will be
one day, perhaps, place of pilgrimage Gradu-
ally thcs" chairs are occupied, until the illustri-
Gus editor has a complete court. Then is the time
he becomes fascinating and charming bv his wit
and Coadcsccudng humor. lie talks about pol
1cs, tie Cine arts, literature, and has his Jokes

attention should be paid to the transplanting and
trimming of trees, and as this subject needs a

THE FLORIDA REEFs.-A correspondent of

TIE FLORIDA REEFs.-A correspondent of
the Savannah Republican, writing from Key
West says -
Z" We were highly entertained last evening
with lecture from Prof Agassz He took for
his subject the Florida Reef and its building. the
coral insect. He set out with stating his opinion
that the peninsula OF Florida was made by this
il,le workman, and with illustrations on the
blackboard. There are, he SAYS, different races
of coral insects, some of which lay the founda
ton in deep water, build TO certain height, and
die. These are succeeded by another race, who
build up another step.and followed by other races,
until the edlhce reaches TO near the surface of
the water, when the little mason is tjRc'lS 0dTci0,
and leaves his labors to be crowned by otter a
gencies of natures. When this work is done,
deposits from the sea are made upon the rock.
which finally extend above the surface of the
water and becomes terra trina. lie thinks that
the peninsular Is but an extension of reef after
reef, the first being the construction of coral in
sects, then becoming reefs or islands, and the
intervals between these being filled up in time by
debris from the sea, altogether from main land.
Ii this theory be true, we may conclnde that the
wrecking business will last so long "a the CO.
