MAGNIFIcENT CAVERN. There is a
cavern at Soil, in the southern part of Java,
which, though Of no very great dimensions,
exceeds, in beauty and sublimity all the
natural curiosities of the island The
principal entrance is from the south, to-
wards the sea; passage has been exca-
waited by the hand of nature, sufficiently
large 10 admit several persons abreast !:
this is about thirty feet long At the
extremity there is sudden bend, or rather
projection Of the lateral rock, which, when
passed, gives an unexpected and magnifi-
cent view of the interior cavern, whiC h is
upwards of eighty feet long. Stalactites,
ever varying in form and color, lend their
magic effect to the scene, and reflect the
light beams from the entrance to every
nook ofthe subterranean apartment. Near
the centre is a calcareous spring, which
imparts a GOODNESS to the atmosphere,
grateful in the extreme to those who have
just escaped the torrid heat of the exterior.
A tufa is deposited from the water, which
has risen in a circular mound more than
twelve feet from the surface of the place.
Over this, on every side, the water pours,
producing singular and picturesque foun-
tain. The whole area of the chamber
contains two thousand four hund1ed square
feet, and is a favorite resort of the Japan
csc at all seasons Of the.year.

ELECTION RETURNS. We give a running
account OF the election returns as they come to
hand. We cannot vouch for their correctness .
much less is it possible to class them, as some
no. inc supporters or opponents of the general
administration. The fact is, the line has not
peen drawn in reference to that question, in
but few counties of the state. When he
time comes to decide that question, those who
live to see it will witness a far different result
from that which is now so loudly claimed by
the partizans Of General Jackson.

CoURTsHIP. In certain section Of our
country where the good people are more
remarkable for their honesty and slmplici-

and hand in person, but prevailed on an ell
derry brother to do it in his name. The
brother accordingly made visit, and after
yawning considerable time, turning his
back, fearing, she might witness his confl
sion, thus addressed her" Could q bod,,

NEw YoRk ELEcTIoN In relation to- the
late Election, in the state of New York, the
American says,
This State is not has not been, and will
not be, for Jackson-this city, by .dint of the
coalition between Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr..
Clinton, and their respective partizans, and
of-money lavishly expended upon, and
base appeals made to, foreign population,
is-we speak this deliberately, and desire
that it may be remembered. In the inte-
rior of this state, the question Of the Presi-
dency was not, except in some three or
four instances, raised at the election. In
no one of the river counties, except Colum-
bia, Albany, and Rensselaer, was it agitat-
ed-and of those Columbia elected admin
istration men, Albany, palties Of each tick
ct, and Rensselaer,, opposltionists. From
Albany to Buffalo, the question was not
raised except in the election for sacces-
sor to Congress of Mr.. Evans, and there
Mr.. Tracy, the administration candidate,
was elected almost without show of sup
port to the Jackson man opposed to him.
Nor is there the least probability that in
the whole western part of this state, one
single electoral vote can be had for Gener-
al Jackson. We repeat with confidence
unimpaired by any recent occurrence,
that the yeomanry Of this state cannot lie
coaxed, nor intrigued, nor caucussed, nor
driven under any circumstances into the
support of General Jackson for the Presi-
dency."

ELECTTONEERING TRICKs. The New
York Commercial Advertiser has the fol-
lowing Anecdotes of the late Election"
in that city.
In one of the upper wards, where there
were many Irish voters, they were attract
ed to the jackson electioneerers by the
portrait of Robert Emmet-the Irish matyr
of '9S. A curious idea this truly Who
would suppose that because an Irish patriot
was executed for treason thirty years ago.
by the government of Great Britain, every
| lrishman was now in duty bound to vote in
favor of Jackson candidates in New York /!
But the device had the intended effect.
In another ward an honest tar came
singly up to the door where a jackson agent
was rendering tickets, and hove to for a
moment. Well, mess mate" said the
lands-man, +" here's ticket for Jackson"
:" Hold up a little" said Jack. "None of
your hickory for me-" 'Take vote for
Adams, then, my hearty" said the jackson
runner, pulling Jackson vote out of anoth-
Ter pocket. "Avast again." said Jack !:
" SILVER my timbers if like Adams neither
want TO vote for Commodore Porter-none
of your land lubbers for me-" Aye, that's
right, replied the pertinacious Jacksonian,
pulling jackson ticket, oft of a third
pocket. Here's vote for the gallant
commodore" Jack seized the precious
vote with hearty glee, and it soon went
plump into the box. So much for the glo
rious privilege for the right of suffrage.
when exercised by intelligent freemen
One artifice practised upon the honest
heurted suilurs, TO induce them to vote for
the JAG kson ticket, was representing TO them
that Mr.. Adams was destroying our com
merce, and that there would be nor-inter
course with England ic jackson was not
elected. And they fully believed that thew
were voting-not 70; assemhlymen-but for
Jackson as president. An honest tar who
had voted under this persuasion, having
heard the result yesterday, flew to com
muncate the tidings to his shipmates, and
dld it thus; II say, Tom, Jackson's elect
ed and we can go to Liverpool again!''

CoURTsHTP. The most sentimental court
ship which we have ever heard or read of,
took place not long since within the circle
of our acquaintance. Louisa was the only
child Of gentleman, who, blessed with af-
fuence, had spared no pains to improve, by
a liberal education, the graces which nature
had lavished upon his daughter. In short,
Louisa was an heiress, and, like all other
heiresses, had q numerous train of suitors.
"Among the rest young William how'd,
But never talked of love"
He was young man ofinestimable worth
and talents, which Louisa was not the last to
discover but he possessed no small share
fthat dlffidence usually attendant on true
merit Their eyes had long protested "a
mutual flame before lie could muster the
courage to divulge his passion. Chance
threw in his way golden opportunity.
They were alone. After an awkward 81
lence of some minutes, he advanced, and
took her hand " Louisa ''-his voice fall
tered-he could not utter single word
but his eloquent countenance spoke the rest.
Louisa understood him, and overw helmed
with confusion, stammered out, " Go ask
ny father. "-RaraL Repository.

HIDE-BoUND. Horses often become
hide-bound when they are poorly kept and
badly used. In this case the animal grows
poor, his skin sticks to his ribs, and small
boils break out on his back A method of
treatment opposite to that which the horse
has received, will generally restore him =
that is, keep and feed him well, work him
moderately, and loosen his skin by oiling
it, and using the curry-comb frequently,
but not too harshly.

NEW York PoLITICs. The result of
the late election viii probably have the eff
feet OF rendering, if possible, the politics
OF New York still more .ineXplicable to
persons abroad, who do not know the
thousand ramiications by which power is
now exercised here. But i'll the mean
time we feel confident that the friends of
correct principles have nothing to appre
bend. The whirlwind which has been
raised will pass away, and we mistake the
temper of the people if it does not take
with it some of those who have been instru
mental in getting it up, The rejecting
part of the community have not yet been
reused to action. They win not sit by
and tamely see the interests of the North
Frustrated to meet the views of aspiring
men at the South, and their accomplices
here.
1t is true that the friends of the General,
by constantly preaching the doctrine Of
non committal, till on the very eve of the
election, and the then sudden combna
tons of men whose views had always been
at war, and who had for many years
violently opposed each other, have sue
ceeded in obtaining an apparent triumph
in some parts of the state. But the combl-
nation which has made this demonstration
that extremes may happen to meet at u
given time and given point, is composed
Of such heterogeneous materials that it
must inevitably fall pieces.
But while the leaders Of the combine
ton were actively, but secretly, preparing
for campaign, calculated more for effect
abroad than any permanent victory at home,
the friends of the administration we're no.
on the alert; and when the Jacksonian
trumpet for battle was sounded, they found
themselves not organi ed TO meet the shock
of the onset, because they did not expect
the conflict. They relied upon the false
professions of men from whom they had a
right to expect better things, and they be-
came dupes to miserable political artiice.
But that game cannot be played second
time. The cloven foot has been exposed,
and the bargains of demagogues will not
be ratified by the independent yeomanry of
the state,-.4lbany Gazette.
