Further Indications Of a Great
Cave Under Nashville.

Not many years since an enterprIslng
journalist made the astounding discovery
that there was a deep and long cave un-
der the city, having outlets at the bluff in
the rear of the City Hotel, and short
distance south of the suspension bridge.
Full accounts of the explorations then
made were published, and their truth not
very considerably questioned. Since that
time the bluff apertures to this extensive
cavern have been closed, and nothing fur
ther has been learned of its mysterious
existence. The blasting of stone to make
excavations for the block of buildings to
take the place of the City Hotel, which
has been going on for the past few days,
has suddenly directed the attention of OBJ
serving citizens to the wonderful cavity
within the bowels of the earth beneath the
heart of the city 1t is said by gentle
men who have devoted some attention to
the matter that a person in the central
part of the market-house, or about the
first story of the Court House, at the time
these blasts at the City Hotel site are let
off, feels very perceptible jarring, and
hears a strange, rumbling sound, some
thing like that of reverberating thunder,
or distant artillery practice. We have
ourselves been able to devote but little at
tention to these extraordinary evidences
of the existence of what may in the fu-
ture be known as the great Rock City
Cave, and give above only such informa-
ton as reaches us through equally reliable
sources. From certain information just
received, we feel justified in assuring our
readers that something more definite re-
specting the wonderful emptiness under
the city will soon be known.-NdshOillc

Where, Oh where are the Eligible
Young Men!

From all the watering-places this year
there has gone up cry concerning the
lack of eligible young men. Amid all
the allurements of the baths or the noun
tains, beauty has pined for suitable COM
panionship. Croquet has been a melan-
choly delusion. snare simply for unwary
feet; the ride, the drive, the bath, alike
have been found unsatisfactory. Even
the joys of the ''hope" have failed, and
the most undaunted valseuse has given up
before the sad spectacle of young women
dancing together. and trying to think they
are quite as happy as if they had male
partners. From Saratoga to Newport,
from Cape May to Rye Beech, our fashiona-
BILE Summer resorts have been crowded
with pretty girls, but with scarcely cava-
lier to do them reverence.
The young men have avoided the water
ing-places, either because they have had
more attractive diversion and sufficient
recreation in town, or because they found
more profit to mind and body in quieter
rural retreats. Men, driven hard all the
year round, do feel positive need, when
Summer comes, of leisure and rest for
tired brains and overstrained nerves.
Their ambition to exhibit the handiwork
of their tailors, however strong it may be,
is still subordinated to this physical ne
cessity. Idle men, are few in our busy
society, and the lawyer or the merchant
or the clerk, when he gets Hway on his
brief vacation, appreciates it as an idle
man could never do. He tries to make
the most of it, and he seems to be gradual
ly learning that fashionable watering
place does not offer the best field for his
requirements. He seeks rather some quiet
inland village in whose peaceful remote
ness he may forget for while the town
and all its cares. He follows some trout
stream In the mountains as he hides him.
self away from his anxieties, or some
quaint little sea coast fishing town, where
the unfamiliar ways and simple joys of q
primitive people may act as healthful
sedative to his excited nerves Doubt
less in some such way as this the eligible
young man has been spending his last
vacation, regardless of beauty languishing
for his compliments and his arm. If he
is wise he will spend his next vacation also.
