seemed to be in the streets of a city.
The bottom upon which 1 stood was a
pure white sand, hard and firm, and
perfectly free of coral but on either side
rose perpendicular wall of the branch
coral nearly forty feet high, all the points
extending directly outward or towards
Inc, and presenting a magnificent unbro-
ken surface of rich oliye-brown hue.
Hidden and only noticed when the
coral was broken away. were myriads of
sea eggs or Echini of all shapes and COL
ors. Some we're jet black with spines
like needles. Another kind had short
splnes, and were albinos, or perfectly
white. They are eaten in some parts of
Italy, and considered great luxury but
they are not used in Florida. They have
no Holsters there, but their place is taken
by what they call the cray fish. 1t looks
like lobster, only is yellow hue. and
instead of having two large claws, has
two enormous whips or feelers. This
great mass of coral was perfectly under.
mined by these creatures, their whips
projecting and waving to and fro cortin-
ually." Interview with Diver.

A Slight Difference.

Judge David Davis, who for eight years
rode the same judicial circuit in Illinois
with Abraham Lincoln, related many
capital anecdotes about him. One was
scene in court soon after Davis was ap-
pointed Judge, when Lincoln had de-
Tended fellow named Lindsay, who had
been indicted for highway robbery.
Lindsay had pleaded guilty, in the hope
that the court would give him the light
estsentence imposed by law. The crime,
however, had no Ienient features, and
the character of It's perpetrator was very
bad. At the close of the term Lindsay
was arraigred for sentence. The Judge
alluded to the youth of the prisoner, and
dwelt upon the enormity Of his crime
He had robbed helpless man OF his
hard-earned wages, and committed a
crime that the law characterized as AKIN
to murder. Gathering wrath as he pro
ceeded, the Judge closed his philippe
with the words: Lindsay, i sentence
you to seven years in the Illinois Legs
