Twenty Years in a Cave.

e 10
For the last twenty years. there has
lived in cave in Saline county, Ken
tueky, entirely alone, singular charac-
ter named Franklin Elliott, Of whose
past nothing was known, only itowas
surmised from his commanding, proud
face, and cultivated expression, which
his wretchedness was unable entirely
to conceal, that he was the wreck of a
onceyenvied manhood. Once. or, twice
IN q year he would come into town, and,
with as few. words as possible, barter
game or. pelts for powder. shot, and
salt-nothing more. When he saw peo-
pie approaching he would always avoid
them. A short time ago two gentlemen
were hunting in the forest near the cave
where he lived, and, storm coming up,
they knocked for admission. Hearing
no answer, they opened the ironTbound
door, and saw upon heap of skins and
blankets the hermit lying dead. "a, The
cave was commodious, having been en-
larged by himself from small hole to
an apartment twenty-five feet, square,
and ten or twelve feet high, but quite
void of furniture. Pieces of Stone and
niches in the rocky walls served as
chairs, tables, and shelves. A rifle and
fowling piece were found, long, broad
bowie-knife, fishing tackle, cooking
utensils, and number of books.
Among the latter were copies of Shaks1
peare, Sterne, Addison, Schiller,
Southey, and Spenser. Besides these
bare necessities Of his existence. some
thing of vastly more interest was found;
tin box filed with papers which re-
vealed his past history and the secrets
of his strange life. 1t was the same old
story of disappointed love, story stale
and barren of interest to every one but
the sufferer. He had been we'll born,
we'll educated, and affiuent. In early
life he was member of the kentucky
Legislature. There the blight fell upon
him. He became dissipated and des-
perate, and his next misfortune was to
fight duel with a man named Bailey,
to whom the result was fatal. The
laws of Kentucky were lax against
dueling, and he had no trouble in GO
ing abroad, staying in Europe Tor two
or three years. At the end of that time
remorse and dispair brought him back
to the solitude of woods and caves,
which he never afterward had the cour-
age to desert.

is needless to recur to the merits of the
story.

1t is history of an unfortunate marriage,

read it.

Gold Receipts from Customs,

We are indebted to iona C. White, Esq
deputy naval officer, for the following in
formation, taken from the records Of his
office for the quarter just ended:
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Below please find tabular statement of the
gold receipts of customs for the quarter end
ing June 80, 1871. 1t will be noticed that
Notwithstanding the great reduction of
duties Oh leading articles since the first of
January last, the receipts are in excess of
the same quarter for 1870, of nearly a quar-
ter of million dollars. This, to say the
least, is proof presumptive, if not positive,
that the commercial prosperity of New Or
leans under Republican rule shows some
signs OF life and prosperity. And what will
1t not be when our great railroad schemes
to Texas and to the Pacific shall have been
completed! The future only can give
correct answer to this question, but, in my
opinion, should not be disappointed if our
receipts were doubled. 1t only needs that
we should exercise some of the clergy aud
vim OF our Northern friends to compete sue
cessfully against them.
1t must not be lost sight of that the last
act of Congress materially changing the
manner and mode of transportation of
goods in bond to the West and Texas, di-
minishes considerably the cash receipts of
our custOmhOuse, say fully one half. The
transportation and expectation in bond to-
Mexico, since the twelfth of June, are near
ly 100000, while the expectations direct to
the Free Zone are in excess of the above
figures. 1t is almost unnecessary to say
that the great bulk of these goods are
either sold in Texas or find their way back
to the States west of the Mississippi river
and evade the payment of all duties.
But am depressing. Here are the figures
for the quarter Just closed:

Worth Testing in New Orleans.

The Chicago Times notices new patent
street pavement as follows:
Last fall, the Chicago paving company
constructed about 1000 feet of asphaltic
street pavement and sidewalk on Drexel
boulevard, near the intersection of Cottage
Grove avenue, under a contract with the
park commissioners. On yesterday after
noon, the members of the board of public
works and other city functionaries visited
the boulevard to examine the condition of
the pavement. 1t was found to be i'll fine
order, and so hard that stones could be
broken upon it without any injury to the
pavement. 1t was evident that the frost
had not injured it at all. The members of
the board of public works were highly
pleased with it.
This pavement, which is composed of
Trinidad asphalt and crushed stones, is
four inches thick in the street, while the
sidewalk is only two inches. The boule-
ward looks beautifully, and riding upon it is
very pleasant.
The right for Louisiana in this patent is
owned by the Cuba and Louisiana Mining
and Paving Company" which also owns the
great asphalt or cheffapota mines in Cuoa.
AS this is home company, we hope our
city authorities will give the new pavement
as thorough test as the enterprising Chi
cagOans have done.
A notice elsewhere announces that a
limited amount of the capital stock of this
company can be obtained by subscription,
on application at its office, No. ID St.
Charles street, up stairs, or No. 20 Caronde-
let, office of the Great Western Insurance
Company.

Hurrah for the Fourth of July!


In the republic of Mexico, the greatest
respect is observed in relation to national
holidays by the native population. The in
creasing number of strangers without heart
felt interest in the celebration of such remi-
niscences, have sharpened the wits of the ma
tive rulers, and they resort to the following
mode of appealing to the unpatriotic public
through their pockets:
The day before holiday in "heroic Ma
tamoras," as they officially style their Rio
Grande city, a procession parades the
streets, headed by trumpeters and drum
mers, followed by bill poster, with a
bucket of paste, brush and posters by his
side; an individual bearing placard on a
pole, announcing by authority that on the
following day all places of business are to
be closed and the buildings illuminated at
night, in default of which fine will be le-
We'd on the following day. The rear is
brought up by policemen with sabres. 1t is
needless to say the modus operandi works.
Close-fisted dealers close up. while their
lively employees create bedlam or jamba-
Wyu VI muSlC, SOHSS, DellS, SqulDS, CrdCheFS,
guns and cannon, and illuminate with can
dies, bOntires and fireworks, the whole pro-
ducing a lively effect and calculated to i'm
press upon the young a patriotic devotion
of country
But, unfortunately, New Orleans has be-
come less and less enthusiastic on the
Fourth of July, and is, perhaps, less com
memorative of that event than of St. Pat
RIGS Day, anniversaries of Columbus dis
coveries, etc. Even city laws have been en-
acted, restricting the popping of Chinese
crackers.
Administrator James Lewis certainly will
receive many congratulations for the pas
sage of the following resolution:
DEPARTMENT OF PoLICg,l
June 20, 1871. )
To the City Council of New Orleans:
On the communication of Washington
Morton, asking for modification of city
ordinance relating to the discharge of fire
crackers, ETC., / have the honor to report
favorably, and recommend the adoption of
the accompanying resolution.
JAMES LEWIS, Administrator.
Resolved. That so much of article thirty
FIVE of Revised City Laws and Ordinances
as prohibits the discharge of sky rockets,
fire crackers, ETC., be and the same is hereby
suspended during the period from the first
to the tenth day of July, 1871.
Adopted, Mr.. Walton voting no.
