The Caves OF Adelsberg.

Austria, are thus described by
writer: "The entrance to the cave isa
great hole in the side of q range of
limestone hills and curves and winds
around to an indefinite distance, only
two miles as yet having been explored.
Shortly after entering we crossed two
natural bridges over the river Polk
which enters under the main entrance
and found ourselves in great rotun-
da 100 feet high. Leaving this we
come to the stalactite and stalagmite
formations, which are indeed wonder
full, beautiful and varied, and are to be
seen throughout the rest of the cave.
The stalagmites are in every case great
or than the stalactites, which arc very
slender Often ono sees stalagmite
rising up in a hugo column from below
to meet the stalactite above, which dips
down in slender beauty to meet it's
mere powerful mate and in some cases
the stalagmite rises quite to the top, no
stalactite being present. The colors
o these formations are various-som-
bre gray, delicate orange and rose, red,
yellow and pure white, many being
covered with crystallized facets, glisten
in the glimmering light like million
diamonds. They take every conceiva-
bic form-animals, faces, statues, dra-
peries, pulpits, columns, mausoleuma,
butchers stalls, pieces of meat, cata-
racts of frozen spray, &c. Some of the
stalagmites are ten feet in diameter.
Every little distance the passage widens
and shows great variety of curious
formations. The places are especially
lighted to show the effect. Farther on
opens a great dance chamber, with
place for IN orchestra and Entertainments,
and every Whit Monday there is =
grand illumination of the cave, when
thousands come about from all the
country round to sing and dance in
this wonderful hall. Beyond this is
the Great Kalvarienberg, an immense
place where numerous stalagmites rise
up in columns and other monumental
shapes, SO as to resemble a vast ceme-
terry. The effect in the dim light of
torches, is perfect, and as We listen
nothing breaks the eternal silence of
the place but the continual dropping of
water from the roof, $50 feet above {;
and so it goes on, new beauties and
wonders meeting the eye at every step.
The ribbon formation, which is gener-
ally found in slanting surface, is one
of the most beautiful bands of different
cslors with borders and laminar, be-
hind5which lights are placed to show

How a Vir9inia Preacher Put It.


A correspondent of the Richmond
Inquirer tells the following story re-
speeding a Baptist preacher of strong
common sense, but very rough-hewn
theology, who was widely known and
much liked and respected in Southside
Virginia many years ago. The old par
son Was preaching very earnestly about
the certainty and the terrible nature
and degree of the miseries of the
damned, and when he had succeeded
in working up himself and his ave.
struck audience into high degree of
excitement, and the latter into terrified
admiration of his narrowing detail of
horrors, he capped the climax after this
fashion: my friends, you all know
Major Clarko's furnace you have seen
it often, how the white hot Goals Just
melt up iron thrown into it as if it was
snow. Well. if you took a sinner out
Of hell and threw him into Major Clarke's
furnace, he'd have an agur in two
minutes"
