The officers of the Goast Survey an¬ nounce the discovery of. a submarine plateau under tlie Gulf Stream off Charleston, the existence of which had not been susjiected, but which must ex¬ ert an important influence on tlie Gulf Stream temperature, and also on the cli¬ mate of our southern seaboard. In rnn ning a line of deep sea dredgings off Charleston Commander Barlett was re cently surprised to find in the axis of the great stream depths of ffom 233 to 450 fathoms only, where it was thought tliey would range from 000 to 1,#00 fathoms. This “ swell of land,” rising fr ° m the ■ Atlantic lwtt;oin ’ was foun(1 stretching eastward 150 miles between 1 ., “®P M » U 8 01 aua degrees, . at , « the northeastern terminus of which the depth of water suddenly increased from aboufc 450 fathoms. The submerged ridgo projecting from the Carolina coast must obviously servo as a fender or bar to deflect from our Southein seuboird the underflow of water coming from Newfound land, and, by forcing the glacial stream great nver 111 tbe 8e& ” to rotain *t* | tr °i’ ,cal he;d ' unreduced by commixture undercurrent, all the way from t,ie to Charleston.

The peculiar topo graphy of the Atlantic bottom off tlie Carolina coast, it would seem, explains also the fact which has lately excited much , ....... that June , , rrtil suipr.se, the immense munaiana “J, lce made -'^ aru, no S impression water from on tlie summer of 187o, like that iftftd, ,c * l,er ‘>* °« «*« c0 ‘* 8t soiitiiwarri ,, ; Lut. contrary to popular opinion, these icc masses and the swollen telar stream that bore them had no ef-: ^ fr °m *“ Nantucket low « n “8 to the Florida. air temperatures Could the icy water bave surged up against the The Democrat. * GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 1880. shore adhiVerent result would have been felt, wi may therefore conclude that barrier projecting out into the Atlantic, intercepting the volume of heavy water moving southwestwardly over the sea bed, and thus securing throughout summer the extraordinarily high temper ature of eighty degrees, which is ob served in the western edge of the Gulf Stream all the way from Cape Hatteras up to Nantucket Shoals.—.New York Herald. No “ Pinafore,”^ Please. The execution of the orders or local laws is placed in the hands of a police force of twelve or fifteen Jerseymen. History teaches that the ordinary Jersey policeman is a terrible fellow when clad in authority. Ocean Grove gives exam pies to prove that history has made no mistake, and, as examples have been spoken of, it is appropriate to cite one occurring under the witness’ observation. Down on tlie beach last uiglit a party of young men were sitting on tlie edge of an old boat siuging softly and rather musically tlie air, whose words ran “ Farewell, farewell my own sweet love,” etc., when a policeman came up. “ I’ll have to request you fellows to stop that are singing,” ho said ; “ and I’ll have to request you to come out of that boat. ” “Why, it’s my boat,” said ono of the party, whose property it was “Ican’t help that; vou’ll have to come out of that boat and stop your singing. It’s camp-meetiug time, and the worshippers mustn’t bo disturbed.” One of the gentleman said : “ It’s no use discussing anything with these fel¬ lows ; we may its well do as lie tells us.” And so they did. The reporter stood oil the walk and was amused. To him the policeman said: “ Now, no loud laugh¬ in’; orders are to keep quiet during camp-meeting time.” Before that the reporter had beard the notes of “ Little Sally Waters ” played on tlie piano of the hotel. Looking in to see what was the cause of so remark¬ able a departure in the music usually furnished from that locality, he saw the proprietor of the hotel arrive in time to stop the- first charm before it wus half over and lock the piano. When lie put the key in his pocket ho said, “Don’t you know this is camp-meeting time ?” and looking with orthodox severity at the culprit, left lier all abashed, and strode out to his office to collect board at the rate of 83 a day from all transients. It was camp-mooting time indeed. The reporter witnessed another scene. A gentleman having bought a cigar at tho drug store on the principal street, walked down past tho tenting ground puffing away. “Please don’t smoke,” said a po¬ liceman. “Don’t you know it’s camp¬ meeting time ?” Tlie smoker In stoned off to Long Branch ou tlie next train.-~ Hew York Herald.

Now, my friend is a man whose hands are as lilies, with fmger-n ails liko rose-buds in tint •, noticeable hands— even remarkable, considering that he is an elderly man, and who occasionally helps with the lighter work on bis farm in Nebraska. Catch him inking iiis fin¬ gers ! “ Why, where did you get that nieo pen ?” I asked him,with a vista of bliss¬ ful exemption from an unluked middle finger opening u[n>n my joyous, expect¬ ant mind. “ tu Omaha,” ho answered ; “used to ink my linger before l got it.” IIo did. Hu inked his fingers! That was enough for me, I got the name of tho merchant from whom ho bought the pen, tlie price of it, and, inclosing the money, I sent from Paris to Omaha for that pun. By the last steamer it carno to mo. There had been a little delay. Tlie stationer at Omaha was out of them, hut lie sent up to Sioux City, to tho mail that advertises thorn, for anoth¬ er lot. And here is where the laugh comes in; so prepare to pucker. Tlie pens are an English invention, aud tons of them can ho bought in London, if de¬ sired.

A physician writes tho following ser.* sildo advice : My profession has thrown mo among women of all classes, aud ex¬ perience teaches mo that God never gave man a greater proof of Iiis love than to place woman here with him. My advice is: Go and propose to tlie most sensible girl you know of. If she says yes, tell her how much your income, from what source derived, uml tell her yon will divide the last dollar with her, and love her with all your heart in the bargain ; then keep your promise. My word for it that she will live within your income, and to your last hour you will regret that you did not marry soon¬ er. Gentlemen, don’t worry about fem¬ inine untruth. Just you lie true to tier, love her sincerely and tell it to her fre¬ quently, and a more fond, faithful, fool¬ ish slave you will never meet anywhere. You won’t deserve her, I know, hut she will never see it. Now, throw aside pride and selfishness, and see what will come of it.
