THE OCEAN BOTTOM,

Mr.. Geeen, the famous diver, tells singular
stories OF his adventures. when making search
| IN the deep waters Of the ocean. He gives
some new sketches of what he saw at the ''Sil-
yer Bank" near Hayti;
! The banks Of the coral on which my diyings
were made, are about forty miles in length, and
from ten to twenty in breadth. On this bank
Of coral is presented TO the diver one Of the
| most beautiful and sublime scenes the eye ever
| beheld The water varies from ten TO one
hundred feet in depth, and so clear lhat the
diver can see from two to three hundred feet
when submerged, with but little obstruction to
the sight.
The bottom of the ocean, in many places is
as smooth as a marble hoor in others it is
studded with coral columns, from ten to one
hundred feet in height, and from one TO eighty
feet in diameter. The tops of those more lofty
support myriad of pyramIdal pendants, each
forming myriad more, giving the reality to
the imaginary abode of some water nymph-
La other places the pendants form arch after
arch; and as the diver stands on the bottom of
the ocean, and gazes through in the deep wind
ing avenue, he finds that they fill him with as
sacred an awe as if he were in some old cathe-
dral, which had lorg been buried beneath old
oceans wave. Here and there the coral ex-
tends even to the surface of the water, as if the
loftier columns were towers belonging to these
stately temples that are now in ruins.
There were countless varieties of diminutive
trees; shrubs and plants in every crevice of the
coras where water had deposited the earth
They were all Of faint hue, owing to the pale
light they received, although of every shade,
and entirely different from plants that am fa-
miilaT with that vegetate upon dry land. One
IN particular attracted my attention; il resem-
bled sea fan Of immense size, Of variegated
colors and the most brilliant hue The fish
which inhabit these ''SilYer Banks | found as
different in kind as the scenery was varied
They were OF all forms colors and sizes--from
symmetrical goby to the globe-lke sunfish; from
those Of the dullest hue to the changeable doll
phinj from the spots of the leopard to the hues
Of the sunbeam from the harmless minnow to
the voracious shark.
Some had heads like z, rels, others like |
cats ard dogs, one Of small size resembled the
bull-terrier. Some darted through the water !
like neteors while others could scarcely be seen
to move. To enumerate and explain al the
various kinds Of fish heheld while diving on
these banks would, were enough of an artist
to do so, require more than my limits would
allow, for am convinced that most of the
kinds of fish which inhabit the tropical seas
eau be found there The spnfish, sawfish, star,

STORY OF A SHEPHERD DOG.

A writer in the Prairie Farmer, over The
signature Of wool grower" tells long and
marvellous story about his shepherd dog, from
which we make the following extract
4 win add a short account Of what I used
10 do with my dog Colonel which, l fear,
those who have never seen well broken dog
work, will be apt to class among dog stories
"When Colonel was six months old, drove
with him q flock oi sheep from Ohio to Hi

He had never been behind flock of sheep IN
til the day started In four weeks time !
could send him to hundred-acre pasture, and
he would make circuit Of it and bring the
flock out without leaving a sheep, and without
hurrying them out of the walk. BY the way
it is very important 10 break a dog to 20 slow

too much. ferried the Wabash River at At

where there were no yards or fences to assist
in getting the sheep aboard. With two hands
and the dog loaded the beat without having
10 catch one Of them, and the flock made FIVE
boat loads | got up On the bank where the
dog could sec me well, and then by motions
made him jam the flock down tight to The boat,
and when well !jahimed Up, mount on their
