The FLORIDA REEFs.--Prof Agassiz
delivered lecture in New York upon the
age of the present physical world as de-
rived from ancient coins and animal re-
mains of species still extant especially
trom coral reefs. The lecture was deVo-
ted mainly to coral reefs and the con-
clusions drawn from them as to the time
taken for their formation. He said that
the popular notion that the coral was the
work of an insect was entirely erroneous.
The reefs consist of organized remains of
a class of radatcs, which become rigid by
the continual deposits of limy particles.
The cOralS begin their work at the depth
of twelve fathoms and work upwards.
The Florida reefs are the best in the world
for scientific observations From obser-
vations made upon them by Prof Agassiz,
he has found that in fourteen years the
growth Of the coral about the coast forts
was almost an inch, which would make
about seven inches in century. To be
safe, however, he allows one foot centu.
ry. With this as basis. the youngest
reef on the coast-the Florida Keys-was
found to be at least 5000 years old But
the Keys are founded upon similar reef
which was founded before the outer one.
This adds 5000 years more to the age of
the banks. Then landing upon the main
land, third reef is found precisely simi-
lar, adding another 5000 to the chronolo-
gy. But back Of this is a fourth and still
older coral reef, which adds 5000 years
more. Here positive investigations cease,
and Prof Agassiz claims to establish the
fact indisputably that this portion of the
world is at least $4,000 years old, an age
far beyond any record of the race now in
habiting it.

I'VE ARE MAKING PROGRESS. Such
is the heading of small but remarkable
article in late number Of the Albany IN.
W Stdtesman, a Republican paper of the
darker tinge. 1t reads:
"As the Tribune says, the world
moves, though, we may add, not altogeth-
er in the right direction. The system OF
arrests on suspicion, in vogue year ago,
would not compare badly with the mean
est despotism that ever cursed Naples,
or exercised by the Venetian Council Of
Ten,' but the system just introduced is a
refinement Of meanneSS and cruelty, in
spirit, however well meant might have
been the intention of its authors. There
was at least q shadow of dignity in the
old system. Its victims were immured
by letters de cGchet, issued by Cabinet
Minister, or at least, a Cabinet Minister'S
clerk.
This gave the proceedings an air Of
officiaiity. ifnOt cfrespectability or justice.
But under the new system any squirt with
shoulder straps, at the instance of any
canting hypocrite who talks loyalty and
chooses to act perjury, may immure men
as innocent Of treason or disloyalty as
any that walks the streets. The Govern.
ment should at once put stop to this
abuse, for, if permitted, It win prove moro
damaging to the popular cause than all
the armies Of rebellion"

THE Powerful HUSrsNAN the
chancel of the church of Walton-upon-
Thames, in the county Of Surrey, are sew
eral brass plates, nailed against the south
wall, to the memory of one John Selwin,
celebrated for his remarkable strength, as
appears BY the following traditional story !:
John Selwin, the person represented on
these plates, both in a praying posture,
and in the act Of killing stag, was, as
appears by the inscription, underkeeper
Of the park at OatlsndS, in Surrey, in the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth; the bugle-horn,
the insignia of his Office, being apparent
in both figures. This man was extremely
famous for his strength, agility, in skill in
horsemanship, specimens Of oil Of which
he exhibited before the queen, at a grand
stag-hunt, in that park, where attending,
as was the duty of his office, he in the
heat of the chase suddenly leaped from
his horse upon the back of the stag (both
running at that time with their utmost
speedy and not only kept his seat grace
fully, in spite Of every effort Of the alright
ed beast, but drawing his sword, with it
guided him toward the queen, and, com-
ing near her presence, plunged it into his
throat, so that the animal fell dead at her
feet. This was thought sufficiently won
derful to be chrouicled on this monument,
and he accordingly is there portrayed in
the act Of stabbing the beast.

his departure from the Cabinet Mr.. Cameron
has very likely been guilty of preferrlng his
friends to his enemies, in distributing the pat
ronage of his Office, and has made many enemies
thereby. But complaints of this sort do not
rest solely on his department, and it will not be
! easy to make the public believe that the real
cause of his resignation is other than his desire
to see this war waged vigorously in putting
DOWN treason.
