In this outcrop Is an extensive shallow basin extend Ing 130 miles north and south and about seventy miles east and west, while the altitude of Its rim Is twelve foot above mean tide In Rlscayne bay and a little less above tbe gulf of Mexico. This rim Is from three to twelve miles from tbe ocean edge of the coastal plain on the east and a dis tn nee of fifty miles from the gulf on tbe west. So far as explored It ex tends all around tbe edge of tbe basin, forming n complete cup. As a result of the weather and flowing water the run has been worn into fantastic shapes. Tbe depth of tbe basin varies from a foot at the rim to as much as twelve feet lu places, but generally the rock floor is from a depth of one to six feet. And here Is the secret of the fertility of the Everglades. Above the entire rock floor rises a layer of muck, form ed of an alluvial deposit and of de cayed vegetable matter. This deposit varies from a few inches to several feet In thickness. The water covering this deposit comes from springs that In turn have their source In tbe lake.— Cassler's Magazine. George Sand.

A rifle Are was direct ed upou her decks from tbe Confed erate skirmishers on the shore. At one poiut tbe river wideued out and tbe cbaunel meandered through an open stretch of comparatively shallow j water. As the Lexington reached this I iqten stretch tbe man at tbe wheel, who bad been replaced once or twice dur ing the trip, was struck by a well di rected shot from the tuwk. The little ' vessel turned sidewise to the current 1 aud grounded bow and stern across tbe narrow channel. A squad of Con federate cavalry, led by General Green ¡and ex-Governor Moutoit. seized the ¡opportunity for a brilliant coup. They ' rode out through the shallows, tlte wa- j ter being up to the shoulders of tlieir [ torses, keeping up such a sharp tire | that tbe decks of the gunboat bad to [be abandoned. The cavalry reached the edge of the channel, and It scented i for a moment us If they would be able to get ou board and take possession of the vessel. If tbelr attempt bud j been successful tbe vessel would have been sunk where she lay and tbe chan nel would have been blocked. The next vessel In tbe columu was still above tbe point waiting uutil by the ! movement of the smoke from tbe stacks of the Lexington it could be knowu that the channel was clear. Tbe men on tbe gunboat Anally suc ceeded in bringing to bear a gun from below, and a volley of shrapnel killed General Green. Discouraged by tbe death of their leader, the cavalry turn ed back to tbe bank. The Yaukee gunners again took possession of the deck aud tbe wheelhouse, and. getting out their stilts (long poles fastened by swinging bolts to tbe side of tbe ves sel*. they succeeded, although still un der a sharp fire, in pushing the bows of tbe vessel around and getting her j again under wuy.—American Review of Reviews. “When I was a very small hoy In deed, " writes Ford M.

Tears ago In tbe west, when the gov ernment sent out safes for the use of its army paymasters In remote dis tricts, It was the cuntom for the pay master In cavalry service to ride lu an ambulance wltb the safe, escorted by • guard of six mounted men. Ott one occasion such a guard was at tacked by a large force of Apache In dians. Two men were killed, aud the Indians captured the ambulance with the safe.
