AN IOWA WONDER.
A Cave New Wonderful and Endless,
an Tar n ExulOI ed.


SO Far as ExplOH ed.
wonderful discovery has just been made
about six miles west of Dubuque, Iowa,
which consists of cave of immense dlmen-
sions and magnificent gorgeousness and
beauty. While mining for lead ore, MIR.
Rice made the discovery in opening mar
row passage, which he followed about seven
hundred feet, leading into a large room,
connected by narrow passage with many
others, which he followed distance OF
about one thousand feet, where the cave
seemed TO terminate. He afterward sunk a
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 hlgn,
and ornamented with stalactltes OF great
beauty, the roof, like miniature sky,
studded and spangled with CRIBS 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 trayersed for about half mile, the
explorers found several other chambers
of even greater dimensions, and
greatly exceeding the first in beauty and in

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 ips 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

NOT LOST BUT GONE BEFORE.
By ALFRED TENNYsoN.


Dear friend, far of, my lost desire,
80 Far, SO near, in woe and veal;
Oh loved the most, when most feel
There is lower and higher;
Known and unknown, human, divine,
Sweet human hand and lips and eye.
Dear heavenly friend that canst not dle,
Mine, mine, forever, ever mine
Strange friend, past, present, and TO De,
Loved deeplier, darklier, understoooi
Behold dream a dream OF gooo,
And ningle all the world with tnee'
The voice is on the rolling air;
Ihear thee where the waters rum
Thou standest in the rising sun;
And in the setting thou art fair.
why art thou, then / cannot guess;
But though seem In star and flower,
To feel thee, some difusive power,
I do not therefore love thee less.
MY love involves the love before;
My Lowell vaster passion now;
Though mixed with God and nature thou,
seem to love thee more and more.
Far off thou art, but ever nigh;s
Ihave thee still, and rejoice,
prosper, circled with thy voices
I shall not lose thee, though die.

SCIENCE is worried about the sun, which
is now said to be as spotted as small .pox
victim. 1t is said that now the sun has on
its face eighteen large spots and number
less smaller ones, and they occupy posi-
tons as follows: six on the northwest and
eight ON the southeast quarters, the other
four being on the northeast qusrter. These
spots are evidently no little jokers, unless
science is all at fault, for the largest and
there are several more about the same size
covers an area of 800, 000,000 of square
miles. AS these spots are cavities eaten
into Old Soils bowels, each of the large
ones would take in five of our little worlds,
and then have room to spare for Mexico
The combined area of all the spots or cavi-
ties is about one-one hundred and thirtieth
of the perpendicular area presented to us
by the sun. 1t is thought these spots have
something to do with the cool weather we
are having, and well they may, if science is
not mistaken and they are really there.

Fifteen Beings Burned to Ashes.

A dreadful fire broke out a few days since
in the building OF the spirit distillery of Old
Bada, Hungary, at three o'clock in the
morning. The inhabitants of the neigh
borhood were scared out of their beds by
the most fearful detonations and continu-
al laundering noise. A terrible spectacle
presented itself to their view. The build
ing of the said distillery, belonging to a
joint stock company, stood enveloped in
flames before them. The fire ragged for
more than twenty minutes before the fire.
men arrived with the engines to
commence operations for extinguishing
it. At half-past four a column of
flames assembled far above the towering
chimney. At that moment human being
appeared at one of the windows of the sec
ond story; his clothes were all in blaze of
fire. The poor creature held fast to the
burning window sash, evidently endeavor-
ing to precipitate himself into the street,
but the sill gave way, and he fell into the
depth below, striking his head upon the
glowing wheel of an engine-he was dead.
At half-past nine the fire was at last got
under. Not less than Is dead bodies were
drawn out of the smouldering ruins. Four
persons, severely wounded, were taken to
the hospital, but there is no hope of their
recovery. Eight families have lost their
maintainers, and fifteen children have been
deprived of their fathers by this awful oc-
currence. AS to the cause of the conhagra-
ton, nothing is known.

Marriage In Russia,

| When the bridegroom is presented the
whole house is in confusion; all the rela-
lions, friends and neighbors on both sides
are invited to the house of the bride. When
all the expected company are assembled,
| the matchmaker comes in leading the
bridegroom by the hand, and going straight
| to the head of the house, presents him. The
brides father then leads the young man to
a table covered with white cloth; on the
table is silver salver with loaf of bread
on it, and on the bread salt cellar with
salt. Two rings, one of gold, the other OF
silver, are placed on small silver tray be-
fore a golden image of the Virgin Mary
holding Che child Jesus in her arms With
this image they bless the future couple
All the company stand; the mother holds
the bride, completely dressed in white, by
the hand, surrounded by all her dearest
friends and companions. All bow before
the image. The father takes the image,
the mother the bread and salt; the young
couple then kneel under the image, and
are first blessed by the father; the lat
ter then takes the bread and salt from
the hands of the mother and gives her the
image, and the same ceremony is repeated.
After this the father and mother of the
bridegroom do the like. Then comes the
giving of the rings; the brides father gives
the golden ring to the bridegroom, the sill
yer one to the bride. They are now aft
anced to each other, and give each other
the first kiss. When the ceremony is over,
the company enjoy themselves; they chat
laugh, eat and drink, and separate, after
having fixed the day for the marriage.
During the interval between this ceremo-
ny and the marriage the bridegroom spends
all his evenings with the bride, often tete-
a-tete. The marriage ceremony follows.
It is also called the coronation, because,
during the ceremony, crown is placed
on the heads of the afianced. Then
the priest offers them a cup of wine, OF
which they both drink, as a sign of the
union they have contracted. A solemn
procession is led by the officiating priest,
the bride and bridegroom following,
round the desk placed in the centre OF the
church, upon which is laid the Bible. This
is meant to represent the joys which await
them, and the eternity of these ties Dur
ing the public celebration of the marriage
the rings worn by the young people are ex-
changed; the husband now wearing the
silver one, the bride the golden. From the
church all the company are invited to go to
the house of the briGegrooms father. A
week after they return to church, when the
priest lifts the crown from their heads.
This is the final conservation of the mar
rage

A GOOD MEDIoINE.-The Telegraph, pub
lished at Kenosha, Wis, SAYS: SIT is not
often that we say much in favor of Patent
Medicines, because it is hard distinguishing
between the humbug and the really valuable
medicine. But We go out of our general
custom TO say that Hollands German Bitters
is no hunbug. We have tried it, and we
kSao,c it to be almost infallble in cases of in
digestion, disarrangement of the liver, &c.
It has cured us of the most obstinate case of
the jaundice, after every other remedy had
failed. And in no less than half dozen in
stances, where we have recommended it to
our friends for thesa disease, it has prov
ed alike eff caeious. and we have yet to hear
OF the case wherein it has failed.''

A New YORKER engaged in the work OF
fitting women for dressmakers, says it is
impossible to get good help to do this work,
and the establishments are obliged to en-
ploy men in work that should be confined
to women. He adds that the boys and girls
of the present age are unwilling TO learn
trades, and fit themselves for positions
which they might fill at good wages. A
practical tailor in this city informs us that
not a single boy of American birth is learn
ing that trade here, and in the United States
the number SO engaged is limited to q
dozen, and yet a practical tailor, who I'M
derstands his business, can command al
most any wages he desires, and always find
numberless situations open for him.

| Corn FODDER CONDEMNED a recon
meeting of the milk producers of Eastern
Massachusetts, one gentleman physician is
reported in the New England Farmer as
speaking as follows on the summer food for
COWS: "Ddring part of the season some
thing more than pasture is needed. Pas
turing is usually very good from May to
October, when other feed is required. The
doctor said he knew that there were those
present who expected he would condemn
fodder corn, and they would not be disap-
pointed. He did not believe in it, But farm.
ers must not begin to feed out their hay as
soon as they get it into their barns, nor can
they afford to feed meal or potatoes. The
first thing used generally is corn fodder,
rye and millet. He was strongly opposed
to corn fodder. The very condition of it
when used showed that it was unfit for pro-
ducing milk. 1t was full of juice, and so
are sour apples, but they will not increase
the flow of milk. To produce milk, food
is required that will nourish the system and
excite the tactical functions. Corn fodder
will not do this; it acts merely as an irri-
tant on the stomach and bowels of cows
1t would be like man sitting down 10
diet of cathartic pills. Hogs won't eat fod-
der corn, it is SO indigestible The doctor
thus referred to the excitement in regard
to the sorghum q few years ago, which he
pronounced humbug. The doctor said
he had raised millet with great success.
One acre will raise enough to keep twelve
COWS during the season for soilipg. It is
nutritious and is more like herds grass
than ANYTHING eIse."

MUTUAL vs.. FOREST Cry. There is but
one way to account for the Mutual victory
yesterday over the pride of Rockford, ILL.,,
the Forest City Club, and that is the SUI
perior fielding of the New Workers. From
the outset it was apparent that the Mu-
tuals, if they could keep the Forest City
lads down to in-feld hitting, and do but
half as we'll as the visitors at the bat them
selves, the game must be recorded in their
favor. This they did in the first respect
from the first, but only awoke to the ne
cessity of doing the second also when half
the game had been played, and then they
were not down to steady hitting until the
seventh inning. The pitcher of tho visiting
club has troublesome delivery, made ali
the more SO by by peculiar attitude or
pose assumed just previous to the final
swing 1t is possible that the Mutual
strikers lost at first by their admiration of
his attitude interfering with Judgment of
striking at the ball-N T. TeLeqTon.
