Tho Ocean Bottom.

Mr.. Green, the famous diver, tells sin.
gular stories of his adventures when
making search in the deep waters of the
ocean. He gives some new sketches oi
what he saw at the "Silver Banks,
near Hayti:
The banks of the coral, on which my
divings we're made, are about forty miles
in length, and from ten to twenty in
breadth. On this bank of coral is pre-
sented to the diver one of the most beau
tiful and sublime scenes he ever beheld.
The water varies from four to one hun.
dred feet in depth, and is so clear that
the diver can see from two to three hun
red feet when submerged, and with very
little obstruction to the sight
The bottom of the ocean in many pla-
ces is as smooth as marble floor in
others it is studded with coral columns
from ten to one hundred feet in hight,
and from one to eighty feet in diameter.
The tops of those more lofty support
myriad of pyramidal pendants, each
forming more, giving reality to the imag.
mary abode of some water nymph. In
other places the pendants form arch after
arch. As the diver stands on the bottom
of the ocean and gazes through the deep
winding avenue, he finds they will fll
him with as sacred an awe as if he were
in some old cathedral, which had long
been buried beneath old oceans waves.
Here and there the coral extends even to
the surface Of the water, as if the loftier
columns we're tawers belonging to those
stately temples that are now in ruins
There we're countless varieties of d.
minutive trees, shrubs and plants in
every crevice of the corals where water
had deposited the earth. They were all
of faint hue, owing to the pale lights
they received, although Of every shade,
and entirely different from any plants
that ! am familiar with that vegetate
upon dry land, One in particular at
tracted my attention it resemhled sea
fan of immense size, of variegated colors
and the most brilliant hues The fish
that inhabit these "silver banks" l found
as different in kind as the scene was va
ried They we're of oil forms, colors and
siges-from those of the symmetrical
goby TO the globe-like sunfsh from those
of the dullest hues to the ehangeable dol
phin from the spots of the leopard to
The heads of the sunbeam; from the
harmless minnow to the voracious shark.
There we're also fish which resembled
plants, and remained as fixed in their
position as shrub The only power
they possess isto open and shut, when
in danger Some of them resembled the
rose in full bloom, and were of all hues.
There we're the ribbon fish, from four or
FIVE inches to three feet in length; their
eyes are very large, and protrude like
those of frog.
Another fish was spotted ike q leopard,
from three 10 len feet in length they
build their houses like beavers, in which
they spawn, and the male and female

pired in the Leat of their passion, they
began laughing and exclaimed:
"Come, let us sup together without any
more fighting"
But when they came to look for their
supper they found it on the ground, all
trodden under foot and stained with
blood. Meagre as it was they regretted
it. In addition to this the cabin was
destroyed, and the old witch, seated in q
corner, fixed her pale, red eyes on the
four young men.
why dost thou stare on US thusY
said the first Henry, who was troubled at
her gaze.
II am reading the fates written on
your foreheads," replied she.
The second Henry commanded her
sternly to disclose them, and the two
others laughingly acquiesced. The old
woman replied:
sAs you have all four met in this
cabin, so shall you all four meet in like
destiny. As you have trsmpled under
foot and stained with blood the bread
offered you by hospitality, so will you
trample under foot and stain with blood
the power you might mutually share AS
you have devastated and impoverished
this cottage, so will you devastate and
lay waste France. AS you have all four
been wounded in the darkness, so will
you four perish by treason and violent
death.
The four noblemen could not refrain
from laughing at the old woman's pre-
diction.
These four noblemen were the four
heroes of the Ligne-two as leaders, and
two as its enemies.

at Saint Jean d 'Angely.

even those who had most cause to re-
member, with vindictive feelings, Mr..
Lincoln's arbitrary course during his
first term, felt called upon to rebuke the
insane frenzy of the editor of the Times.
Yet, while this diartribe was fresh in the
recollection of Mr.. Lincoln was killed,
and the Times came out with eulogy
of the man it had so recently de-
nounced as scoundrel, criminal and
fool-a eulogy that put to blush the
best efforts of the Abolition press in
their attempts to make the martyr"
the embodiment Of all that was great in
craftsmanship, pure in morals, and in
corruptible in politics

tion press in denunciation of that bold
stroke of genius, General Sherman's
basis of settlement with Gen. Johnston,
which, had it been indorsed by the gov
ernment, would have resulted in an i'm
mediate restoration of the Union.
More recently:
When the subject of the Philadelphia
NationalU Union Convention was hroached
4 VII n
few days afterwards it became the advo-
cate Of that Convention.
We have referred to enough in its past
course to show that as Democratic
leader the editor of the Times is not en-
titled to the confidence of the Democratic
masses; and we have now evidence be
fore US from his own pen that he is not
entitled any longer to their support and
countenance.
Is it any wonder that the Democratic
party in Illinois is swamped under the
waves of Abolition mongrelism when
they have for their leading organ a news.
paper whose editor is political coward
a truism instead of statesnan-a
craven picket upon the outposts of De-
mocracy who abandons his position and
deserts to the enemy.
The political frog of the Times has
taken big leap, this time, and has
landed in the bosom of the mongrel
negro suffrage party and with that party
sits down at the feet of Massachusetts to
receive a new political baptism at her
hands If some friend OF Democracy
would fill the frogs belly with shot, so
that he will be forever incapable of jump
ing back into the Democratic party, that
friend will be entitled to the appellation
of lover of his country.
The editor of the Times can make his
bed where he chooses, and has the right
to choose his bedfellews. He may sell
himself at his own price; but we deny
his right to contract for the sale of the
Democratic party; he may make the at
tempt, but in the language of John A.
Logan, I" by the Eternal he can't deliver
it."
The Democratic party opposes negro
suffrag ebecause, no matter how restricted
by qualifications" it would tend inev-
itably to social equality between the
races, only to lower the standard of our
civilization, and reduce our system of
government to mongrel concern like
Central America.
The Times may do as it pleases, but
when the great Democracy of this coun-
try sees fit to become political thief, it
viii not be so stupid as to let 90 the dia-
mond pin of white supremacy for the
privilege of picking the pocket of the
mongrel party of the brass finger ring of
negro equality
