She waited patiently for his return, feeling confident
that he would yet come back 10 her. So the yosrs

TINS GROWTH OF CoRLs-An interesting fact
has recently been discovered respecting the
growth Of corals. Somewhat less than two years
ago. Captain McGiegor Of the steamer Kilauea,
moor-d buoy in Kealakekua Bay. Last week
be was ordered TO hoist the anchor and examine
the condition of the chain. The latter. which is
q heavy two-inch cable was found covered with
c0rals and oyster shells. some OF which are as
large a. mans hand. The larger corals measure
four and half inches in length. which represents
their growth during the period of two years that
the anchor and cable have been submerged. The
specimen that We have seen shows the nature of
its formation by the little coral insects more dis
tiuctly than any We have before examined. When
takss out Of the water it had small crabs on it.
= query arises, whether these crabs 1--we on the
coral insects or whether they simply seek the
branches Of the coral for protection. The popu-
lar supposition is that corals are Of extremely
SLOW growth. Here we have a formation Of two
and one-eirhth inches, equal TO over seventeen
feet 10 century. These facts, which are reliable,
Will Be valuable 10 naturalists, This specimen Of
coral viii be preserved in the cabinet of Mr.. II.

7HE ISTEEPIDrY OF ONE LADY SAVES Two
FEoy SERIOUS ~ NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. The
other evening span of young horses which were
beng driven tandem taking fright on Bere-
tau-a street, made quite a stampede near the cor
nsr Of Richard street. One Of the tandem horses
broke loose from the carriage and coursed down
Richard street. 1t happened that two ladies'
were diving in phaeion. with span Of spirited
horses on that street, and the runaway so fright
euei them that there was great danger OF Sc
mons catsstropby. Fortunately one of the ladies'
10 the carriage was the Hon. Mrs. Dominis, whose
GOODNESS and intrepidity is proverbial. In
the midst Of the danger she seized her frightened
c5upanlon with one hand and the reins with the
other and re-assuring the one and checking the
other, avoided oaiastropby which might have
brought upon both her and her companion most
se-Jus consequences.
This Is not the whole story, but it shows how
