icuIous on the part of the prosecution
that many things were said on the
boards at night not contained in the ori-
g.nnl drama, rejecting on the naughty
and vindictive old Frenchman.
The merits of the case for the prose-
cutlon hinged upon the question whoth.
or the lakes were high seas" or 1o,c
ones.
To bring it under the jurisdiction to
the Supreme Court, it was necessary to
swear that the alleged crime had been
committed upon small triangular space
Of wator between Ohio and ponusylva-
mia, Of thirty miles area, which had not
been laid down in the surveys, and
which, consequently, would have made
ann offence committed thereof ameuyable
to the lays Of 'ho United States Co urt.
After several iag3 Of most abl9 and
exhaustive argRhspt ea both sides 1t
Was de3lasd lhat tha United States
He0nhl - jurisdiction In th9 matter
and gnplaja II. q. iHsl9i vas released

Thus cn1cl Gne Of tbe most exciting
incidents of those oariy days in tho bis.
tory Of Lake Eric; and throughout the
Par West. aud among the h!ississippi
captains, tho affair excited tho most in"
lcnso and nbgorbing interest. Captain
Bristol soon aftrrwarl WAS married, and
uador the patronage ofhis good frioad,
General Reed, he became one Of the
weallhiest and successful wheat dealers
in Chicago. 4 few years ago, however,
he met with som: serious rcyeres, and
is now taking out a patent, | believe, for
a new cut of which lie invented some
years ago, and has since been perfeciing.

Another very interesting discovery
lately made, says a late letter is that Of
four skelcton8-threc female and one
malo-now lying in glass cases, which
are preserved in almost perfect fulluess
Of form and outline, but have been
completely converted into gypsum
Even their fingers aud toes are almost
as comp'etc and round as on the day
when, 1888 years ago, the fearful flood
Of fire and sroko took away their lives
The process is explained as follows {:
These bodies were pro5trated in the
streets by the cloud Of suiIocating va.
pors which came first, and which soon
stopped respiration, and after them came
the ashes, light, OF course, but piled up
in enormous masses, 50 that the lower
strata were compressed into solidity. At
the same time, tbnt tho process Of do
competition w0s g9inF-Vefy slowly, Of
esurae, 50 iag under tie surface tho
ashes about the body appear to have be-

soft parts had disappeared, and Tiers

that bogiDs to work on the ground, in
water Of twelve or filccn fathoms deep,
and be cannot live unless he has the
constant action Of the open sea upon
him, 40 that he stops at The height of
high tide. BY pumArous experiments
il has been asccrIained that the coral
builder constructs at the rate Of about
half an inch in century; but in order
to err, If at al cn tie safe side, A-lssiz
doubles his estimate in his caculaiions,
making it aa inch in 4 century. Now
outside OF the Florida Keys thc~2 IS q
long reef with an a9a.aEa height Of
seventy feet, which. therefore, must
have been begun 1900 years ago. or
1000 years before Adam. Secondly,
the Keys themselves are nothing but an
inner repetition Of the same sort of coral
reels. or at least the sarde average
height; aud the builders must have fn.
ishod them before they began Oh tho
outside reef, as appears from their ne
ccszity ofhaving the open sea, and from
the fact that there are now none Oh tAe
outside Of the one we have mentioned
above. The Keys, therefore, swell the
record to 1900 years. Ncxt &c have
the shore bluff Of the mainland, which
is also Of the same coral construction,
and which carries the earth's record
above 10000 years. Moreover, there
arc, as you 70 inland. seven we'll defined,
and Of course, successive coral reefs,
which, added to the foregoing, would
make the world 10000 years old. And
