LANDSCAPES UNDER THE SEA.--Mr. Green,
the famous diver, told singular stories OF his
adventures when making search In the deep
water of the ocean. He thus sketches what
he saw at the Silver Bank, near IIayti: "The
banks OF coral on which my divings were
made are about forty miles in length. On
this hank of coral is presented to the diver
one Of the most beautiful and sublime scenes
the eye ever buhed The water varies from
ten to one hundred feet in depth, aud Is s.
cear that 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 rs q marble floor; IN Others it is
studded with coral columns, from ten to one
hdudrcd feet in height, and from one to
eighty feet in diameter. The tops Of those
more 'otty, support myriad of pyramidIca
p'ndants, eaah forming myriad more. Civ
ing reality to the imaginary abode Of some
water nymph. In other places the pendants
form arch after arch, and AS the diver stands
on the bottom OF the ocean and gazes
through the deep winding avenues, he finds
they ill him with as sacred an awe as il he
were in some old cathedral which had long
been buried beneath the oceans wave. Here
and there the coral extends even TO The sur
face OF the water, as if the loftier columns
were towers belonging to those stately tenn
pies that are now in ruins. There are
countless varieties of diminutive trees, shrubs
and plants, IN every creVicc of the corals,
where oil are Of faint hue, owing to the
pale light they received, although OF every
shade, and entirely different from plants
that am familiar with, that vegetate upon
dry land. One in particular attracted my
attention; it resembled SEA filn OF immense
size, of variegated colors and the most
brilliant hue. EEchHHgd.

"IIold the fort sings Sankey, ''for am
coming" and the suggestion for the hymn is
thus told. Sherman was at Atlanta, prepar-
ing tor his march to thesea. federal force
under hrlgadier general occupied Allatoona
pass, most important gap in the mountains.
Suddenly, Hood appeared before it, intending
to force its passage. The federal general
knew that il was a strategic point OF the Ut
most value, and resolved to hold 1t While
there was shot Ia the locker. tie tOld MS
men that there must be no surrender. Ihe
enemy might have their corpses, not them,
but they should take care that he have neith-
er. On the summit of Kenesaw was signal
station. The general told the story TO Sher-
man. and prepared for the bloody business.
HOOD made desperate assault. He even
succeeded IN forcing small redoubt, but
fortunately was repulsed. At 10 A. M after
hours OF lighting, the flags of the signalsta-
ton commenced to talk. The smoke for
time ohscured the station, but through rift
in the cloud, tae general read, Hold the fort,
we are coming" 1t was Sherman's answer.
Hour after hour passed. Hood was held at
bay, but the boys IN blue were paying with
their lives for their valor. Sometimes they
were heart-sick and desperate but from the
mountain summit would flash the message
Hold the fort, we are coming" and hope
would spring anew. The fight went on Hood
still defeated in his purpose to force the pass.
In the afternoon the commander of the be-
leagured force employed the telegraphy of
the flags to bear the following message:
"ALLATooNA, Ga, Oct. 6, 1864, 2P. M
CAPTAIN l.. NJ. DAYTON. ABIDE Camp: am
short cheek bone and an ear but am able
to whip all HI yet! My losses are heavy.
A force moving from Stilesboro to Kingston
gives me some anxiety. Tell me where
Sherman is.'
Sherman WAS on the march to relieve the
'leagured wall. His subordinate, true to his
orders and the cause, was holding the fort
Sherman came. The flag was still there
Hood was foiled.
The general who held the fort was John Al.
Corse, now of Chicago and actively engaged
in the Tildcn campaign. According to the
logic of the Hayesites he is hummer,
shoulder.hitter, and Il plug.ugly. He led
gallant lot of veterans to indianapolis, the
other day, and the republican press OF this
city pronounced the whole party gang of
confederate roughs. If Allatoona had left
him sufficient cheek. bone, he might now con.
sort with such noble boys IN blue as Jim
Blaine, Bob Ingersol (whO resigned after
taste OF service,) John A. Logan, 10 Medlll,
Deacon Bross, Charley Ham, j. Russell Jones,

armed with Spencer riGes, he wouldn't have
been able to hold out until Sherman's arrival.

When the Earl of Albemarle was perform

acquaintance with that deadly reptile, the co
bra de cOpello. At one time, a servant who
had been bitten by cobra, was brought to

sician in attendance could save his life. The
remedies given were Intellectual, and the man
died in half an hour His death appeared
perfectly painless, for so long as life remained
his body rested in a state OF complete repose,
with the hands open and the palms upward.
The cobra can be domeSticattd, and, when
tanned allows itself to be handled by persons
10 whom it is accustomed with perfect i'm.

is cited by the Earl:
