Professor A IasSz in a recent lecture at Key
West, stated that the peninsula Of Florida, up
to the surface of the water, has been entirely
the work OF the coral insect. There are, he
said, different races Of coral, some of which lay
the foundation Of the reef in deep water build
up to a certain height, and die. These are sue
ceedcd bv another race who build up another
step, and are so followed by other races, until
the ediice reaches 10 near the surface OF Il
water, when the little mason is functus oficio,
and leaves his labors tc be crowned Oy other
agencies of nature, When this work is done,
deposiles from The sea are made upun the rock,
which finally extend above the surface Of tho
water and become terra frma. lie thinks hat
the peninsula is but an exclusion of reef after
reef, the first being the construction of the CO
raj insect, then becoming reefs or inand>, and
the intervals between these being flied mp IN
time by Debris from the sea, all together from
the main land. "lf this theory be true, says a
Key West correspondent, "we may conclude
that the wrecking business viii last 50 long ss

A SENSIBLE GESERAL.-The veteran Gem
eral Wool, Of the United States army, attended
public celebration OF Washngtcn's Birth
Day, AT Troy, n. Y. He was called upon to
respond to one OF the regular toasts, and, in re.
plying, said he came there to listen, not to
speak, ,itor speaking was not his vocation. He
reered 10 the questions that had so recently
engrossed the attention of our country, aud
said that in his judgment there was not, nor has
there ever been, any danger Of dsunon. The
agitation had not been produced by the people,
but by the poiicaus-by aspirants to the Pres
idency. and ambitions individuals. He said hs

MISPLACED AFFECTIOY.-An instance Of
mis- placed affection is thus recorded in Bati
more paper. Jack C., an impetHous
warm hearted fireman, seeing fire bursting
from the root of house, whereof the inmates
gave no signs OF alarm. burst open the door,
and followed by two or three comrades, rushed
up stairs o the room on fire, and found two
men sleeping in the burning room, whom they
walked with much difficulty. Jack then turned
into another room, and found IA lady sleeping
quietly in bed, vino, upon being awakened ard
informed OF her danger fled Instantly from the
room forgetting in her fright the child which
was peaceaby slumberng in the cradle. Jack
wondered much that the mother should forget
her child and remembering perhaps his own
'wee one at home, gently lifted the uncon-
scjous slumberer, and lenderiy bore it down
stairs, marvelIIpg as he went that it should be
so good and not cry. Carrying it to the light,
