about 80 feet square, though more inter-
esting than any of the others. Here the
party became almost wild at the strange
and curious things. Bones of men at
least nine feet in stature were found near
the entrance, among which were two or
three skulls. Near the center of the

In the shape of large stone, followed
out like mortar. Around this were a
number of tools, large and small, and
one large sledge lay on the edge OF the
mortar Just as the workman left it when
he struck his last blow at least one thou

examined, were found to be copper.

almost as hard as steel. Considerable
quantities of

Were picked up. and about half a ton of
fair looking gold quartz lay in corner.
1t is the opinion Of all of us that the
quartz is taken from some part of the
cave. probably further on in the noun
tains, and these giants were at work
there when a slide from the mountain
above the cave filled up the mouth of it,
as it is plain to be seen that the entrance
at one time has been at least thirty feet
in diameter, and the opening, now very
small, has been formed by the slide
gradually slipping into the outer cham
ber, which is half full of mountain de.
bris.
Another doorway was found, leading
into a room which, we think, contains

To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal:
At temperance lecture here last
night, A. NJ Collins, of Boston, Mass,
made the statement that when it was
talked of enforcing the Sunday law in
Columbus the saloon keepers formed a
procession, with "beer barrels in their
wagon, and marched through the streets
dragging the American flag through the
dust behind them, in derision of the
boasted American liberties,
Columbus being almost my native city,
naturally have some pride in the pa
triotism of her citizens, and would like
to know if there is any truth in the state
ment. While l am sorry to say that
many of the citizens of Columbus are not
what they should be, as to temperance.
believe that there are patriotic women
enough in Columbus to broomstick out
of existence any set of men who would
attempt to perpetrate any such act. The
statement was too much for my cfeduli-
ty; therefore l write to know the truth.
H. P
Colonel P. may be sure that the state
ment of Mr.. Collins is an unmitigated lie.
Another Reverend temperance lecturer
reported that he had seen Governor Noyes
and other State officers Staggering drunk
on the streets of Columbus" The Rev
erend gentleman lied, and knew he lied.

We have never had much faith in Post
master-General Cresswell But we are
pleased to see that he agrees with US
upon one question. The following will
be in his forthcoming annual report.
II respectfully submit the following
plan for the prepayment of newspapers
of the second class, and urge its adoption: !:
Let all publishers, or their business
managers or agents, be required at the
beginning of every quarter to state, un-
der oath, that after dilligent inquiry,
they are satisfied that they will send in
mails to regular subscribers during the
coming quarter not more than
copies of the newspaper known as
(giying the number of copies and name
Of newspapere and let them be further
required to pay in advance the postage
prescribed by law, taking therefor du-
plicate receipts, one of which shall be
transmitted to the Postofice Department,
and to afford reasonable opportunity
for an increase of circulation during the
quarter. Let the oath taken at the be-
ginning of the next quarter embrace all
additional copies for the last quarter as
well as the number to be sent during the
then commencing quarter. On the other
hand let Postmasters be required to re-
ming of every quarter, correct lists of all
| newspapers addressed to regular sub
scribers and dispatched in the mails from
their respective offices, stating the num-
Der of copies of each newspaper, average
weight per paper, number of issues per
week and amount of money paid as post
age therefor, payment having been made
| in advance for the quarter. No stamp
or manipulation would be needed, but
when received into the Office every paper
answering to the description given in re-
ceipt would be treated as paid. The pa
pers of persons subscribing after quarter
day would be forwarded Immediately and
paid for at the beginning of the next
quarter. So marked would be the i'm
provement in collections under this plan
that 1 believe the department could
! safely consent, in case of its adoption, to
reduction in newspaper rates of 40 per
cent. on present prices. AT the reduced
rate / am satisfied the department would
realize more revenue than now. ! also
| believe that, so great would be the saving
| of labor to newspaper proprietors in the
preparation of their papers for mail, and
so decided their gain from the greater
| dispatch and freedom from mistakes in
| transmission and delivery, they would
find the new plan more advantageous to
imam tnan the present one. n slmllar
plan could be adopted for magazines and
periodicals of the second class"
1t will be remembered that we suggest
ed the above plan more than year ago.
with this addition: that the number of
copies paid for by each paper, be publish
ed in said paper, the first week in each
quarter This would stop the lying in
dulged in by SO many papers, about their
great circulation.
