Terrific Adventure in Mammoth Cave

AT the supposed end of what has al
ways been considered the longest avenue
of the Mammoth Cave, nine miles from
its entrance, there is a pit, dark and deep
and terrible, known as the Maelstrom.-
Tens of thousands have gazed into it
with awe whilst bengal lights were
thrown down i. to make its fearful depths
visible, but none had the daring ever to
explore it. The celebrated guide Ste
phen, who was deemed insensible to fear,
was offered six hundred dollars by the
projectors of the Cave if he would des-
cend to the bottom of it, but he shrank
from the peril. A few years ago, a Ten
nessee professor, learned and bold
man, resolved to do what no one before
him had dared do, and, making his ar.
rangements with great care and precau-
ton, he had himself lowered down by
a strong rope a hundred feet, but, at tina
point, his courage failed him, and h'
called aloud to be drawn out. No hu
man power could ever have induced hin
to repeat the appalling experiment.
a couple of weeks ago, young gen
tleman of Louisville, whose nerves neve
trembled at mortal peril, being at th
Mammoth Cave with Professor Wright c
our city, and others, determined, no mat
ter what the dangers and difficulties Nigh
be, to explore the depths Of the Mae
, strom. Mr.. Proctor, the enterprisin
: proprietor of the Cave, sent 10 Nashvill
{ and procured long rope, of grea
strength, expressively for the purpose
e The rope and some necessary timber
f were borne by the guides and others
d the proposed point of exploration. I'll

. rope, with heavy fragment Of rock a

= and fro to dislodge any loose rocks tia

e Several were thus dislodged, and Il
long continued reyerberations, rising .

CAN CANCERS BE CURED.

We occasionally meet person aih'ct- j
cd with that terrible disease, a cancer.
and few things 10 which TIE flesh IS heir
to excite cur sympa,hies more. Can
GERS have been cured, We believe, with
out the use Of the knife. and perhaps
some OF those who assume the title Of
cancer doctors have succeeded in sssu-
aging the pains Of the disease, and IN
some cases, perhaps, caeoting Perman-
ent cure.
Not long since AL article appeared in
the Milwaukee Free Democrat, which
the Providence Poxi thinks Of sufficient
importance to reeeive general notice
We agree with the Post, and therefore
place on record the remedy, advising
each reader TO cut out the article and
preserve It, as by so doing he may be
able to minister 10 some suffering broth
er, and perhaps save lite ITSELF
The statement Of the Democrat is
that some eight months ago, Mr.. I. b
Mason, who keeps a music store on Wis
consin street. and is = brother OF th'
well known Lowell Mason, asecraine,
that he had a cancer on his face the siz'
of apea. 1t was cut out by DIR. Wal

A piece OF sticking plaster was p'
over the cancer. with a circular piece Ct
out Of the centre a little larger than q
b cancer. and a small circular rim Of hea
e thv skin next to il was exposed. The
plaster made of chloride OF zinc, bloC
root and wheat -four was spread on
niece of muslin Of the size Of this ci

Suddenly the Colonel waved a white |
handkerchief as the signal that he was in
the act of starting; and swift as an ar
row from the bow, terrible as the ball
from the cannon's mouth, the two horse
men, with pistols cooked, and fingers
firm on the trigger, shot towards each
other. When within fifty steps of his
enemy the Colonel halted with surprising
dexterity, and crying in a loud tone,
" Now take care of your eyes !" leveled
and fired.
At this instant the Judge urged his
horse to an evolution as if bounding over
wall, and the bullet aimed for his eyes
struck the pomel of his saddle, and
glanced off without harm. Continuing
his former velocity, he passed the Colo
mel within three feet, discharging his
weapon at the others bosom, but infict-
ing only a slight wound and then both
proceeded to the opposite side of the
prairie, and renewed their headlone
course. This time neither halted, but
passed almost touching each other, anG
, both fired as they passed, each drawing
from his foe a stream of blood. The
same charge was repeated with a like
