LIGHTS OUT "A ROMANCE OF
THE STAR CHAMBER AT NAM
MOTH CAVE.

[From the Nashville American, October "a.
During the visit of one of the re-
cent touring parties to Mammoth
Cave scene was witnessed that was
not down upon the programme, and
which from its peculiar nature has
just leaked out. 1t was in the Star
Chamber, the star of all the sights to
be seen. AS soon as this division
was entered there was the usual cry
of Sights out" and with few ex-
ceptions all eyes were turned to the
vault overhead to witness the grand
spectacle. These few eyes that
should have been looking upward
were of the kind that belonged to the
people of an inquiring turn of mind,
and glanced to observe the manner
in which the light was thrown on the
ceiling. AS they did so, they saw
distinctly outlined between them and
the light beyond, the forms of gen.
tleman and lady. She was standing
upon rock which brought her with
in easy reach of his arm, which en-
circled her waist. Gently he would
draw her to him, press his lips softly
to hers, and then she would draw
hastily back. One and another of
the party were nudged, and ceased
from the contemplation of the stars
overhead to observe the tabIeau be-
low. When the lights were repro
duced, the young lady was seated
upon the rock where she had lately
been standing, and both she and her
affectionate escort looked as innocent
as if "they hadn't been doing moth
ing"
1t served the party no little merri-
ment, and the climax was reached
when some one, after they had left
the cave, approaching the swain,
asked him in the presence of the
party which scene in the cave did he
enjoy most. He promptly replied,
"The Star Chamber, of course" -
The loud laugh that followed caused
him to turn as red as beet, and ex-
planned to him the frequent allusion
thereafter to Sights out"

A poor farmer cannot conceal
the fact that he is a poor farmer. All
his surroundings proclaim the ver>
dict against him--his horses, cat
tie, wagons, harness, plows, fences,
fields even his wife and children bear
silent, but unmistakable evidence
against him. On the other hand, all
these things will testify favorably in
behalf of the good farmer. Every
passer by can read the evidence, for
and against. This fact alone ought
to stimulate every farmer to do his
best, for the sake of his character as
well as interest for be may rest as
sured that every passer by will pros
nounce judgment according to the
evidence.

SOME people are too trusting for
this world. At recent trial the
prisoner entered q plea of "Not
guilty." when one of the jurymen
put on his hat and started for the
door. The Judge called him back,
and informed him that he couldn't
leav until the case was tried
"Triedi 7" queried the juror, "why be
acknowledged that he is not guilty"

Snow IN NORTHERN New IoRK-GREAT
DEPTH on TIE RAILROADS. EXTRAORDINARY
DIFFICULTY IN DlGGING THRoUGu THE DRIFTS.
From the Watcrtown Times, February
TO- The greatest fight with and victory
over snow that was ever known, at least in
New York State, was substantially ended
last evening. The blockade on the Rome.

lauch the worst that it has ever OK
peritnced. ". e. Picrrcp0nt, Of the
Manor, who is close observer, and has
kept weather record from year to year.
saws there has been no such snowfall and
blow before in Fifty years. tn" work accom-
plshed by Superintendent Moak, Assistant
Superintendent Moore, and their assistants,
has been herculean. Probably there are fiji.
teen or twenty miles between mere and Rome
where The snow would average ten feet deep
on the track, and it was so harG that much
Of il could not be cut with iron shoreIs, and
had 10 be pried up; and, because 1t was so
hard all the way down, it had 10 be shoVeIed
to the rails. In some places the men stood
in three tiers, one above the other, III getting
tile snow up. and all along il is piled high
on either side in blocks and chunks. A
gentleman said that in riding through the
canal it looked like vast white marble
quarry. Yesterday big JOB was accomplish
I'd. In the morning the portion of unfaIsed
blockade extended five miles, or from mile
this side of the Manor to two miles beyond
Evansville. The two gangs OF men at work
on this numbered four hundred and thirty
five. When dnner-time came the men were
marched in platoons from the Manor delo.
to the hotel until the appetites of all were
appeased. Moak said, "Boys, we must get
this hole dug and these engines together TO-
night" Evening came, and some felt IN
clined to quit; but all were induced TO De-
stir themselves again and perserere until the
breach was made complete, about lO50 L.
~. when cheers, and congratulations, ana
reioicings were in order. The engines were
ready, and the army departed. Moak and
Moore came on with the WatertoWn reg-
ment, and there was substantial lunch
awaiting all when they arrived here.
The track between Watertown ana Rome
had been blockaded q week and day. Inc
mails had in the mean time been transferred
twice by means of eighs-Wednesday ana
Thursday. which were the only days when
the transfer seemed possible. The expense
attending the work accomplished has oeen
enormous, and cannot now be estimated.
The )aborers who came up last night have
been sent north to widen the channel that
way. This mornings train from Ogdens,,
burg arrived here on time, and moved aheao

How MrCH GENUINE CHAMPAGNE IS ANSU-

1874 we consumed the following amount of
imported genuine champagne: G,03S dozen

champagne, 1868 dozen quarts cham

good salaries, may feel very proud indeed if
only 6,790 bottles Of champagne are drunk
daily. The fact is this amount of foreign
champagne is drunk by less than 5000 con.
