ENTHUSIASTICALLY take the following
from an exchange, and commend it to
thoughtful attention =" Nothing is more
common than to hear people talk of what
they pay newspapers for advertising, etc.,
as so much given in charity. Newspapers,
by enhancing the value of property in their
neighborhoods, and giving the localities in
which they are published, a reputation
abroad, benefit all such, particularly if they
are merchants or real estate owners, thrice
the amount yearly of the meagre sum which
they pay for their support Besides, every
public spirited citizen has laudable pride
in having paper which he is not ashamed
of, even though he should pick it up in New
York or Washington. A good looking,
thriving sheet helps to sell property gives
character to the locality; in all respects is Il.
desirable public convenience. If, from any
cause, the matter in the local or editorial
column should not be quite up to your stand.
ard, do not cast it aside and pronounce it of
no account, until you are satisfied that there
has not been any more labor bestowed upon
it than is paid for. IT you want n good,
readable sheet, it must be supported And
il must not be supported in ~ spirit of char
ity either, but because you feel necessity
to support it.
On which the New Jersey Courier remarks:
1.-The above is true as the Gospels Ii these
airy patrons do not feel as though they re.
ceived AN equivalent for their money, let
them withhold their ttbis. The appreca.
tive man of business, will continue, because
he makes money by the connection, and not
as a charity The man who advertises nm
grudgingly and literally, finds his gains in
creased thereby while the man who is afraid
to let people know what he has to SELL is
generally made up of small ideas, and con
tent with little"

Grant as n Speech Maker.

Gen. S. B. Buckner, of the Confederate
Army, now editor of the Louisville Courier,
the Democratic organ of Kentucky, finds
fault with Gen. Grant, because he is not a
letter writer or speech maker. In reply,
The Tribune brings out the following -

To Gen. s. b. Bucknsr, Confederate Army

Gen. Buckner called these terms ungen.
erous and uncivil; but he made haste to &C.
cept them. For once, at least, he clearly
comprehended Gen. Grants style.
Some time afterward, Gen. Grant was Wis
tied in his camp before Vicksburg by Gen
Pemberton, who was anxious to know upon
what terms that city could be relieved from
siege just then pending. Here are the
speeches:
Pemberton-Gen. Grant, ! meet you in
order to arrange terms tor capltulaton. -
What terms do you demand?
Grant Unconditional surrender.
Pemberton--Uncondi surrende =
Never, so long as have man left me.
will fight rather.
Grant-Very we'll.
But Gen. Pemberton reflected n little, and
as soon as the full force of Gen. Grants
brief speech became clear to his mind, he
too, made haste to comply.
Again, on the road to Richmond, atte,
the battle of Spottsylvania Court House
Gen. Grant INDUCED in a speech or despatch
in these toleraby clear words:
1--WE have now ended the sixth day u
very heavy fighting, and the result to thi,
time is much to our favor. 4 Ipro

We believe Gen. Lee was in no doubt a,
to the meaning of this speech. If he was,
those doubts we're settled by the next which
we shall quote of Gen. Grants speeches. -

A STuPENDoUs TuNNEL.--The most stu.
pendous tunnel enterprise has lately been ac.
cumplished at the silver mines III the German
Hartz mountains The mines were over 5000
feet deep. And scarcity Of fuel prevented the
use Of steam for pumping, which was done by
water wheels, aided by tunnel drains. But the
gieat depth reached in 1859 precluded iuilh-
CT progress in that manner, and tunnel was
commenced for deep drainage which is just
now finished The tunnel is twenty 1.-TWO miles
long two million cubic yards of solid rock
were excavated, ten thousand pounds of powder
used, and the linear extent Of blasting holes
drilled is ls0 miles. Naturally, on the SUCCESS
full completion Of this colossal work, thrty-two
thousand miners, whose livelihood is now as
sured for twenty years, celebrated the event
with grand rejoicing. The mines can be worked
till 1887 without steam, and they have been
operated since the year 926 in continuous pro-
fitable production.

Royal, observed while he was carefully look

that suspicious looking fellow stood rather
near him. The gentleman was dressed ac-
cording to the fashion of the times, in coat
with a prodi gious number of silver tags and
tassels, upon which the thief began to have
a design. and the gentleman not willing to
disappoint him, turned his head another way
to give him an opportunity. The thief i'm.

off seven or eight of the silver tags. The
gentleman perceived it and drawing out a

TIE 0I.D MANS DEAD, SrRANGER.-A
Virginian travelling in Arkansas and finding
the landlords whisky rather raw and unpal-
atable. mixed it in the shape Of " mint
jjulip," which was a novel idra to the Ar
kansian. The latter, however, Sas delight
ed with the new style of drink. indulged IN
it quite literally, and learned the method OF
concocting it. The mournful result is told
thus:
The Virginian continued n his journey
towards Texas, and in due course OF time
set out to return. On arriving at the house
before mentioned he concluded he would call
and renew his acquaintance with his friendly
old host. Accordingly, he rode up to the
gate. and seeing one of the boys OF the fam
ily standing near, asked him. " How IS the
old gentleman, your father my son 2"
The boy, with an air of the most perfect
indifference, replied: g Why, the old mans

"Is it possible? How long since ~
About two weeks, stranger"
"Ah, indeed Pray, what was the matter

Upon the Virginian's suggesting to the
boy that it might haze been possibly the
bad quality of the whisky exercised more
deletorious influence upon his fathers health
than the mint, he replied

MAMMOTH CAVE OF SuUTHERN ILLINOIS,
In Saline county. six miles from Equity, is a
cave which, for length, exceeds the Mammoth
cave Of Kentucky, and rivals any other yet
discovered. About half way up the hill, the
visitor is ast0nished at encountering a stiff
breeze, sufficiently strong to PROSTATE him
unless he is ON his guard. Upon examina
tion be will discover, about twenty yards
distant, an indentation In the sidehlll, ana SO
badly defined as to escape the eye OF the
casual observer. Upon removing the thlcket
in front of this indentation, the entrance OF
the cave is discovered, and out OF this con-
stantly proceeds the cold blast which first
attracted the traveller attention. descent
of a few feet brings you to the cave, which
is little less than an immense hall, about
eight feet wide by fifty feet high, from which
branch in every direction numerous lateral
passages orrchambers. The sides are Jagged
rock. and the roof is sharp arch, nowhere
fat or rounded All the side chambers are
of a similar width and height to the main
hall. = Ahlts
The cave has been partially explored a
distance of three miles, but a thorough
search through it has never been instituted.
Some years since two men, named William
Harris and John Bowling, undertook to ex-
plore one of the side chambers, but losing
their way, were three days and nights in the
cave. The lights becoming 6xtinguished, the
men determined to make an effort to escape
from their underground prison, and locking
hands, felt their way along the simy walls in
tho direction, as they supposed, of the en-
trance. Hour after hour the poor fellows
passed upon their journey, day and night
succeeded each other; Harris and Bowling
took no note of time, but struggled on, al
most hopeless. Occasionally stream of
water was encountered. and this served to
re animate them to renewed exertions. At
last, when naturs was we'll nigh exhausted,
and hope had given way to despair, ray of
light broke in upon them, and pushing aside
rock and bushes, the accumulation of centu-
res, they once more emerged into the open
air, but it was on the opposite side of the bill,
thirteen miles distant frcm the place they
entered. One of the parties is still living to
relate the story of his terrible journey.
Two things are observant in this cave
Candles are consumed three times quicker
than in open air, and sounds are fcarfully
dcadencd, the rifle giving back no echo, and
cannot be heard twenty yards.
