IALIcE CAREY spent her last weary summer in
New England, and there she wrote the following
beautiful lines. While they serve TO remind us
Of how much genius must henceforth be hidden
in the grave, they disclose with a plaintiveness
and pathos most touching. that in Alice Carey's
nature there was such q wealth of beautiful
thought that her anguish was often forgotten

But ahi hast thou room for an idle newcomer

And with nothing to give but the deafness and

A Man Rugged Against His VIII.


A most ludicrous scene transpired in
a place not a thousand miles from the
city OF Louisville, one night last week,
so innocent and funny that we cannot re-
frain from giving the general outlines,
suppressing names, of course.
Two sprightIy and beautiful young
ladies were visiting their cousin, another
beautiful young lady. " no, like her guests.
was of that happy age which turns CIV
erything to fun and merriment. If tho
truth were told, we fear that we should
have 10 record that these three misses
were little bit fast. They were fond of
playing practical jokes, and were contin-
ually pla, ing sll sorts of pranks with each
other. All three occupied room ON the
floor, and cuddled in one bed.
Two of the young ladies attended
party on the night in question. and did
not get home until half past twelve
o'clock at night. As it was late they
concluded not to disturb the household,
SO they quietly stepped into this room
through the low opened window.
In about half an hour after they Ind
left for the party, young Methodist
minister called at the house where they
we're staying. and claved nights lodg-
ing. when, Of course, the old lady put
hiFa to sleep in the best room. and the
young lady (Fanniel who had not gone
to the party, was INSTRUCTED with the duty
of sitting up for the absent ones and in
forming them of the change in the room.
She took up her post in the parlor, and
as the night was suItry, sleep overcamc
her. and she departed OF an excursion to
the land of dreams.

window. By the dim light Of the moon.
beams, as they struggled through the
curtain. the young ladies were enabled to
descry the outlines Of Fannie las they
supposedly ensconced in the middle of the
bed. They saw more, to wit, pair of
boots. They saw all. Fannie bad set
the boots in the room to give them a
good scare. They put their heads TO
ge:her and determined to turn the tables
on her. Silently they disrohed; STEALTH
ly as cats they took up their positions on
each side of the bed. At a given signal
they both jumped into the bed, one on
each side of the unconscious parson,
laughing and screaming. oh, what a
man! Oh. what man. and gave the
bewildered minister such a promiscuous
hugging and tuzzeling as few persons get
in the course of life time.
The noise of the proceeding awoke the
old lady, who was sleeping in an adjoin-
ing room. She comprehended the stu
alton in moment and rushing to the
room. she exclaimed. .Gracious. IT'S a
man, It's man. sure enoughr There
was one prolonged, consolidated scream,
flash of muslin through the door, and
al WAS over.

Important Discovery.

The scientific ci,cl IS Of our CITY have
been much exercised of late by the alis-
covery of cave in the limestone region
of Chester county, filled with remains Of
vertebrate animals Of the post pliocens
era. An especial interest is attached tn
this matter from the fact that paleontspl,-
g;sts have failed to discover W hat l,ecnme
Of the animals aud vegetables which ex-
listed on on, continent! just pr, vious 10
that which now ex lists. Although We
have on our continent over one thousand
species of ver,ebratel aBimaIs-and no
donbt quite as MANY existed in the anicr-
Tor period referred to--only' some forty
in all have hean discovered. The idea i
that some tremendous conyuisian,. tf
which BIOLOGISTS have failed SO far to
write, swept the whole away In this
case. however. the remains of more verte-
hrates have been discovered than the
whole total known before. Some of these
are quite new species. before unknown,
and all, with the exception of que, are
not known to have existed within mod rn
times. This one ia rabbit. So far, %
difference can be detected between this
and our present species. Among The rs-
romans are some gigantic sIoths, tapirs,
and some ruminants as large as our cows,
snakes, and, mos, wonderful Of all, a
mastodon. How this monster got into
the cave is mystery. as the entrance is
evidently not large enough for him.
Prof. Cope, of whose remarks at the
Academy of Natural Sciences last evening
we are giving an abstract, thinks that in
some way or another ho must have fall.
Ell through the roof which, before tho
shady matte. on the top was deposited by
the supposed convulsion before noted,
must have been very thin. Though
small! in size, not the least in interest are
the fossil remains of bugs. Professor
Cope said that, with the exception of
some recently found by Professor Hayden
in Nebraska, no such remains of insects
have hitherto been found. Among The
remains in the cave are also hickory, wal
nut, and other trees, all long lost 10 the
modern world. Professor Cope poin.e
out the fact that the remains Of the geol.
Ogic period preceding that of these re
mains had an unmistakabIe As;atic origin
while those of the cave, and others of
the post pliocene era before discovered.
evidently came up from the southwest.
He suggested from this additional proof
that this country was ut one time conn CT
ed by land with Asia; that subsequently,,
Behring Straits were formed, which cut
off emigration here and nerhans the
same CONFUSION which formed the Straits
destroyed every living thing here. There
was then no chance 10 reanimate this ex-
elusive tract except by an emigration from
the south. as suggested. Professor Cope
added that the cave hal not yet been
fully investigated. and that explorations
were still gong on with the prospect of
many more valuable discoveries Pill

He's too nice man; we apologize, and the
apology shall IS where oursp. evious state

NEwrH's political conduct goes. there exists
no party objection to him as candidate. He
never did vste as we said he did. and we
apologize that's the way to talk 1t. We
made the unqualified assertion that he did
vote for WAY, and we gave the names Of
