Mammoth Cave-A Scene in the Star
Chamber.

The Ball Room "is a mighty chamber,
admirably fitted for the dance, with even a
rocky gallery, in which an orchestra has,
from time to time, been placed, when gay
parties from Louisville and other neighbor-
ing cities have engaged in festivities with
music and torches. A short distance be-
yond looms up huge mass Of rock known
as the Giants Coffin. Passing the desert
ed chamber, the Wooden Bowl Cave"
where oxide of iron and lime are sprinkled
on the floor, and crossing the Bridge of
Sighs, ;" we came at last to the Star Cham
ber."
Here our guide had prepared genuine
surprise for us. Mysteriously commanding
us to be seated in dark corner, he sudden
ly seized the lights, and saying that he
would return to find us on the morrow,
withdrew. We heard his sonorous voice
echoing along the galleries as he hurried
back over the pathway, and while we were
yet wondering what was the object of this
sudden man9uvre, we saw above us twin
king stars, and seemed to catch glimpse
of the blue sky from which we had thought
ourselves shut out by the solid rock. In
deed, SO strange was the illusion, that we
fancied we could feel the fresh air blowing
upon us, and, for few moments, imagined
that the guide had conveyed us by some
roundabout way to the mouth of the cave,
and then had hastily left us, that he might
enjoy our surprise. But presently we
heard his voice, confessing the cheat which
he had practiced upon us. The dark cell
ing of the Star Chamber is covered with
myriad sparkling incrustations which re-
semble the stars, and the artful guide, by a
careful display of his lamps and the use Ct
Bengal lights, had produced magical
effect The ceiling, which was not more
than forty feet from our heads, had seemed
remote as the heavens. 1t was like the
early dawn, when the stars seem no longer
to belong in the sky, and when they are
gradually fading away. The guide, in the
distance, initiated to perfection the crow
ing of the morning cock, and then burst
into loud laughter as, removing the lamps,
he took away with them the deceit, and
returned to us.-Edaoard Hing; !Scribner's

A WOMAN WITHOUT BONES.

The social developments across the water
show lamentable state of affairs due ap-
parently to no other cause than deficiency
of backbone in one or two individuals.
When such disastrous consequences pro
ceed from the weakening of part only of
the human framework, we sincerely trust
that there may be no spreading of the
disease lately developed across the ocean
in the person of an Irish woman, who lived
to see her entire skeleton waste away until
it was but fourth part as heavy as new
born babe.
The case occurred in Dublin, and may
truly he called extraordinary. The VICTIM
insane asylum. For five years she was
confined to her bed, complaining of no
pain, but gradually becoming weaker, while
dwindling in stature until she lost half her
hight.
AS the disease progressed, her limbs were
coled up in every possible shape, the bones
becoming extremely light, soft, fragile, and
atrophied in every respect. AT death, all
that was left of her skeleton, including the
skull, weighed two pounds and ahalf. The
number of fractures was prodigious. The
ribs were in a hundred fragments. The
head of the humerus was bent; the tibula
we're curved; the thigh bones and pelvis
were huddled together; the bones of the
vertebr;p were thinped and worn away
across the front of their bodies; the lower
jaw was atrophied and broken into three
pieces: the base Of the skull was cribiform
all through. Had she lived little longer,
it was thought that not vestige of a bone
would have been left in her body. What
! allied her no one could tell, the disease

A CITY BUILT BY ONE MAN.

History affords numerous instances of
the foundation of cities by single individ-
uals, and the Identification and enlarge
ment of portions of the same through the
munificence of others; but nowhere, as we
believe, is it recorded that any one man
from his private fortune has ever attempt
ed the actual construction of 4 complete
town. All the more remarkable, therefore,
is the enterprise which for some five years
past has been quietly pursued by Mr. A.
T. Stewart, a gentleman of whose immense
wealth no accurate information has ever
been made public. The high rates of tax
alton and the consequent exorbitant rents
incident to ownership and occupation of
dwellings in New York city have been the
means of virtually banishing large num-
Der of persons doing business therein,
whose moderate incomes forbid the neces-
sary expenditure, to the adjacent suburban
district. Hence arose great demand for
cheap homes; and as 4 result, village after
village has sprung into existence in Long
Island, New Jersey, and in fact at every
point within radius of forty miles of the
metropolis.
Mr. Stewart, in view of this constant
exodus of the city population, conceived
the unique idea of building a model SUBJ
urban city, where comfortable homes, pro-
vided with all modern improvements, could
be obtained for moderate outlay. Ac-
cordingly, he purchased plot of land,
ten thousand acres in extent and embracing
that portion of Long Island known as
Hampstead Plains. This is in compact
tract of about ten miles in length by one
in width, and nearly perfect parallelogram
in shape. Surveying and stalking ont the
new city followed close upon the acquisi-
tion of the ground, and the first work
taken in hand was the making of streets
and avenues, with pavements, sewers. cul-
verts and conduits, for blocks of buildings
yet to be erected. Simultaneous with lay
ing the foundations of the houses, was the
commencement of gas and water works,
and Of railroad connecting the city with
New York. Unlike the usual course adopt
ed in projecting new towns in the vicinity
of the metropolis, no lots were advertised; !;
nor has any attempt been made to dispose
of the property, as it is the intention to
treat the city as single house, finishing it
first, and selling it subsequently. The
New York Sun aptly describes the enter
prise as new city springing up, with no
Mayor or Council, no assessment for street
improvements, no taxes for water and gas,
no entanglIng alliances or issuing of bonds
to secure railroad transportation no scram-
bling or grumbling to secure immigrants.
An admirably kept hotel, situated in the
middle of a fine garden plot, together with
some forty houses. are thus far complete.
The latter are located in lots of 200x20O
feet and provided with outhouses and hand
somely laid ont grounds. They rent for
from $3.50 to $500 per year on three year
leases and contain every convenience found
in the best city dwellings. Work upon this
remarkable town, to which the name OF
Garden City has been given, is rapidly pro
crossing, and we understand that the ad
vantages offered are meeting with wide
popular appreciation.

PRE-GLACIAL MAN IN ENGLAND.-The
human remains found in kent's Hole, in
deposits attributed to pre- glacial times,
have a rival in antiquity in the human
bone discovered in Victoria Cave. The
Committee of the British Association for
assisting in the exploration of this cave
describe minutely the condition under
which the bone was found, and express the
"inevitable conclusion " that man lived in
Yorkshire with elephas antiquus, rhinoceros
tichornus. ursus priscus and spelaus, hyena,
bison, and red deer long before the exist
ence of the great ice sheet in Northern
Britain and Ireland.
FALL SICxNEss.-In lengthy article on
the above subject, DR.. Hall concludes that
if persons in the country where intermit-
tent fevers prevail would adopt the pre-
caution, in early FALL to take their break
fast before going out of doors, and keep
blazing fire upon the hearth in the living
room during the morning and evening,
fevers and chils would almost entirely
disappear as a prevailing disease.

GOLDEN WoRDs.-The habit Of looking on
the best side is invaluable. Men and women
are ever more reckoning up what they want,
rather than want they have--COunt.
ing the difficulties in this way, instead of con
irving means to overcome them-are almost
certain to 1--we on corn bread, fat pork and
salt fish, and sink to unmarked graves. The
world is sure 10 smile upon the man who
seems to be successful: but let him 90 about
with a crestfallen air, and the very dogs in
the street will set upon him. We must all
have losses. Late trosts will nip the fruit
and bad banks will break, investments prove
worthless, valuable horses die, china vases
will break; but all these caamities do not
come together. The wise course TO pursue
when one plan fails is to form another; when
one prop is knocked from under us, TO fill its
place with substitute, and even more, count
what is lett, rather than what is taken. When
the final reckoning is made, if it appears that
we have not lost the consciousness of in,en.
tional rectitude; if, by the various discipline
of life we have been freed from follies and
confirmed in virtue, whatever we have lost
the greater balance sheet will be in our favor,
