The Age of our Earth.

Among the astounding discoveries of
Science, is that of the immense periods that
have passed in the gradual formation of the
earth. So vast were the cycles of time pre-
| ceting even the appearance of man on the
surface of our globe that our own period
| seems as yesterday when compared with the
epochs that have gone before it. Had we
/ only the evidence of the deposits of rocks
heaped upon each other other in regular
strata by the slow accumulation of materials,
they alone would convince us of the long
and slow maturing of foods works on earth;
but when we add 10 these the successive
population of whose life the world has been
the theatre, and whose remains are hidden
in the rocks into which the mud and sand,
orsoil of whatever kind, on which they lived,
has hardened IN the course of time-or the
enormous chains Of mountains whose up
heaval divided these periods Of quiet accum
ulation by great eonyusions-or the changes
of different nature in the conf igurations of
our globe, as the sinking of lands beneath
the ocean or the gradual rising of continents
and isleDd above-or the slow growth of
coral reefs, those wonderful sea walks raised
by the little ocean architects, whose own
bodies furnish both the building stones and
the cement that binds them toget her, and who
have worked so busily during the long CEN
turies that there are extensive countries,
mountain chains, islands, and long lines of
coast consisting solely Of their rem ains-or
the countless forests that have grown up,
foulished and decayed, to fill the store
houses OF coal that feed the fires of the
human race-if We consider all these records
OF the past, the intellect fails to grasp a
chronology of which our experience furnishes
no data, and time that lies behind us seems
as much an eternity to our conception, as the
futare that stretches indefinitely before u.s.

Valley Of Jehosaphat.

The Efforts the Jews have made, and suf.

Comments Of the CabAn Ju0tA.

According to Mr.. Lemas, the representa-
tive here of the Cuban Junta, the prlvatccr
Hornet was presented to the Cuban Junta
by certain parties, who stipulated that as a
condition precedent they should have the
selection Of her officers aud crew. This was
| agreed to, with the understanding that a
portion OF her crew should be Cubans. The
Junta had no knowledge Of Captain Hig-
| gins nor of any of his officers, but they sup
| posed he had his heart In the business and
would do his best for Cuba. No persons
could be more surprised than were Mr..
Lemus and his friends when they heard that
Captain Higgins had run his ship into the
port Of Wilmington. They supposed she
was on her way to Cuba, and had made ar
engagements to supply her with coal and
stores all along the coast Of the United
States and of the British possessions In the
. West Indies, SO that she could not be COM
PEELED to put into port at all, except on ac-
count of shipwreck. AS soon as Mr.. Lemus
heard that the Hornet was seized he ad-
dressed letter to Captain Higgins asking
for an explanation of his conduct. Captain
Higgins, however, did not reply to this letter,
aud has acted all along as II he did not re.
cognlze Mr.. Lemus In his official position as
representative In this country of the Cuban
= republic. Mr.. Lemus does not charge Cap,
A tain Higgins with treachery, but he has hi
suspicious that all Is not right. Indeed, al
the facts aud circumstances would seem /,
{ point TO the conclusion that the Hornet wa
g run into the port of Wilmington for the
purpose OF having her seized by the Unite,
u States authorities. 1t has been DISCOVERIES
y that the wife Of Captain Higgins left New
o York soon after the Hornet sailed south 70
the purpose of Joining her husband ut vii
mington, and arrived there about the sam
time as the ship.

A LITERARY ExuuMArIoS.-Somc time In
the year 1871, the now popular writer, J..
Ross Browne, addressed q letter to VIM. W.
suowdcn, tho then publisher in New York
ofthe Ldiiss' Companion, magazine devo-
ted to the light literature of the day. The
postmark bears the Imprint Of Louisville,
Ky, and the exterior looks as II 1t had seen
the bowels of many mail bags.
A bold hand Of the postmaster announces
that Its weight was recorded at one ounce,
avoirdupols, and that the postage was one dol
lar In the hard currency Of the realm. Mr..
snowden, evidently awed by the amount due,
refused to take from the post Office the for
midable looking document, and 1t was sent
to the dead letter Office, where it remained
In retirement for twcnty-eight years. Perhaps
the letter would never have seen the cheer
full light Of day, had 1t not been exhumed
from lot Of literary rubbish that was being
thrown out Of the building during the pre-
paration of q room for the occupancy of Hon
W. II. II. Terrell, the Third Assistant Post
master General. Mr.. Terrell will forward
the letter to Mr.. J. Ross Browne, the now
veteran journalist, who, no doubt, will b
most glad to receive his long-lost bantllng
