A STRANGE LUNATIC.
The Second Messiah and Perpetual Motion oi
the Geld Basis.

he second Messiah and perpetual Motion on
young man giving his name as r. n. Hull
was arraigned in the St. Louis Court on We'd
nesday on charge OF lunacy. He had been
found the day before on the river bank, near
the residence of Mr.. Gaar, about two and half
miles below Portland. He had built him fire
there during the night, and slept by it on the
cold ground, with the thermometer below zero.
He was about twenty-seven years of age, and.
though he gave evidences of being man of
education and refinement, his clothes were of
the worst material, and in shreds at that.
He told very curious and incoherent tale
to the jury, and 1t, of itself, induced them to
render a verdict OF lunacy. He said to COM
mencc with, that he was mechanic, and the
inventor of perpetual motion on the gold
basis. This very valuable invention he did not
desire to make patent; but he has however, sent
1t to Washington, where ii is now on exhibition.
and is subject to any disposition the authorities
wish to make of it. He says he has also in
vented the round belt to run with the grain of
the leather. Being the second Messiah, his
mission is to save the whole world. Spiritualism,
he says, is one of the new Religions but because
his mother was Methodist he is no Spiritualist,
but follows his calling by supernatural means
| The Virgin Mary he says, is his religion. When
asked what supernatural power was, he said,
''the key nind." He claims to have the golden
key, and is on his way to Pixies Peak. He said
his mother was no relative of his, only an ac-
qEaintance. In this incoherent manner he talked
to the jury for nearly an hour. One OF the
which would cut wood with perpetual motion.
When asked why it moved perpctualy, he
gave the same explanation as in the case OF all
his other inventions-"b because 1t is perfect"
He told of his journey from Pennsylvania to
this place, coming down the bank OF the Ohio
river, and named places and incidents on the
way that showed this part of his story to be
| true. Mr.. Gaar had to deceive him in order to
get him to the city, and upon arriving at the
| station-house the madman became wild, and 1t
required the aid of two strong men to place him
| in cell. He struggled desperately, and tore
the coat off of one of the officers. They finally
| got him in the cell, however, when he quieted
! down, and has since been very doce. He was
sent to Frankfort in charge of a police officer.
| He says his mothers name is Emily Hull, and
| she lives In Twinsburg, Summit county, Ohio.

An IOWA WONDER.
A Cave New, Wonderful and Endless,
40 Far aa ExuIOFed,

so Far as ExplO1 ed
a wonderful discovery has just been made
about six miles west of Dubuque, Iowa,
which consists of a cave of immense dimen-
sions and magnificent gorgeousness and
beauty. While mining for lead ore, Mr..
Rice made the discovery in opening a mar
row passage, which he followed about seven
hundred feet, leading into large room,
connected by narrow passage with many
others, which he followed a distance of
about one thousand feet, where the cave
seemed TO terminate. He afterward sunk
shaft thirty feet deep, interesting the cave
near its termination, and he and his party
of five descended and entered another
narrow passage of about one hundred feet,
where it expands into large hall of one
hundred feet in length, forty or fifty feet
wide, and from ten to fifteen feet high,
and ornamented with stalactites of great
beauty, the roof, like miniature sky,
studded and spangled with erbs of most
brilliant lustre, and presenting a crystal
line surface of exquisite fineness and lustre,
which flashes by the light of the torches
with great brilliancy. From this room the
cave branches in two directions, at an
angle of about forty degrees, which, on
! being traversed for about half a mile, the
explorers found several other chambers
| of even greater dimensions, and
greatly exceeding the first in beauty and in
terest, the entire sides and roofs being COW
cred with snow-white stalactites and FROST
| like incrustations of carbonate of lime and
gypsum. In many parts of the cave might
also be seen arayonite; and at distances
varying from ten to fifteen feet, are deep
recesses in the walls, SO large and high in
some cases as to enable them to walk about
in them. On the floors of these recesses
many stalagmites had formed, one re-
sembling a huge polar bear, and other
formations resembling clusters of grapes,
etc. In another place hand was distinctly
traced. The water in the cave is so clear
that in places where it is ten inches deep ii
does not appear to be more than two. The
party remained in the cave about six hours
and travelled in it about two miles.
