GES. HoUsToN TAKING TEA IN THE
SENATE.-A correspondent of the Ner
York Tribune, describing the debate in
the United States Senate, on Saturday
morning, among other incidents related,
states that Gen. Houston excited some
merriment by having cups of tea brought
to him while he was speaking. The uni
versal laughter was caused among the
ladies in the galleries by his manner OF
pouring the tea from the cup into the
saucer, and by his seizing the opPortu-
nifty of occasional interruptions in his
speech to quietly enjoy the beverage.

The Mammoth Cave.

That the Mammoth Cave is an antidui-
ty of the world before the hood-a city of
giants which an earthquake swallowed,
and which chance roof of rocks has
protected from being efaced by the del
uge, and by the wear of the elements for
subsequent ages, is one of the fancies
which It's strange phenomena force upon
the mind. All is so architectual. 1t is
not a vast underground cavity, raw and
dirty, but succession of halls, domes
and corridors, streets, avenues and arch
es--all underground, but all telling Of
the design and proportion of a majestic
primeval metropolis. 1t is not cave,
1t Is city in ruins---a city from which
sun, moon, and stars have been taken
away-whose day of judgement has come
and passed, and over which a new world
has been created and grown old. BY
what admirable laws Of Unknown archi-
lecture those mammoth roofs and cell
ings are upheld, in every travellers won
dering question. In some shape or 9th
er, | heard each Of my companions ex,
press this. No modern builder could
throw up such high vauIted arches, and
so unaccountably sustain them And all
else is in keeping. The cprnices and
columns, alsles and galleries, arc eigant-
ically proporiionate, and as mystcriouslv
upheld. Streets after strcets-mlles al
ter miles seem to have been left in ruins;
and here and there is an effect as if the
easements and lower stores were incu!n-
bered with fragments and rubbish, leav-
ing you to walk OH a level with the cap
itals and floors once high above the pave
ments. 1t might be described as a NAM
moth Herculaneum, first sepulchred with
over-topping mountains, but swept and
choked afterwards by the waters of the
dcluge, that found their way to its dark
streets in their subsiding What sccnc-
ry and machinery this will be for the

A Shocking DiscoverY.

1t Is we'll known that, during the
French revolution, the wood Kusel, near
Deaux Points, was often the scene of
various actions, and that the Prussians
encamped in it considerable time-con-
sequently the wood was so nearly ruined
that only few oak trees were left stand
ing here and there. These trees were
sold IN the month Of March, 1903, and
one lot fell to citizen of Strasburg for
fifty florins. Soon afterwards ordering
two of them to be cut down, one of them,
the largest, was TO sooner divided for
the purpose of removal, than, to the as
tonlshment of the laborers, they discov-
cred human skeleton, from which all
the flesh having wasted away, nothing
remained near the body of the tree but
some bits of blue cloth, and part of a
hat. A purse half decayed was also
found containing about 100 louis d'ors
In gold; it was concluded that the de-
ceased had been Prussian officer, who.
not knowing the tree 10 be hollow, or
probably sleeping near the top of the
trunk Of it, had slipped in, and from cold,
or variety of circumstances being un,
able to extricate himself, had there per-

HUMAN SruFF.-If plump, juicy
