The second memorandum forms

signed by both plenipotentiaries on

Besides the stipulations of the
preceding memorandum, the British
Government reserve to themselves
to point out to the Congress the fol-
lowing points:
(G) The English Government re-
serve to themselves to demand of
the Congress the participation of
Europe in the administrative organ
iZation of the two Bulgarian prov
inces.
(6) The English Government will
discuss in Congress the duration and
the nature of the Russian occupa-

of the Danube, in which matter
England has rights by treaty.
(e) The English Government re-

May, 1877, and notably:
"The existing arrangements made

AWONDERFUL CAVE
Discovered by n Poor Farmer, near
Glasgow, Ky.-SubterrnneRn
Roads TWenty-three Miles
Long, and Rivers Navi-
gable for Fourteen

Special to st. Louis Evening Post.


GLASGOW, KY, June %, 1S7S.-
Another wonderful cave has re-
Gently been discovered near this
town. 1t has already been explored
for distance of twenty-three miles
in one direction, called the "LOng
Route, ,"and sixteen miles in another
direction, called the "ShOrt Route"
The avenues are very wide, and a
span of horses can easily be drawn
through for a distance of eleven
miles. Three rivers, wide and very
deep, are encountered in the "LOng
Route" One of these rivers is naVi-
gable for fourteen miles, until the
passages become too narrow to ad-
NIT a boat. This forms the third,
or river route, which has to be eX-
plored in boat. The cave is wonder
full beyond description, and far
supercedes in grandeur the Mann
moth, or any other cave ever be-
fore discovered. Several mummi-
fed remains have been discovered
in one of the large rooms. They
were repOsing in stone collins, rude
ly constructed, and from their APP
pearance may have been in this
cave for centuries. They present
every appearance of Egyptian mum
mics. Great excitement prevails
over this very important discovery.
Mr.. Edwin Mortimer, of Chestnut
street, Louisville, purchased three
of the mummies, and has them now
in his possession. Major George
M. Proctor, of Glasgow Junction,
Kentucky, purchased the remainder
of the mummies from the owner Of
the cave, whose name is Thomas
Kelly. He is, or rather was, a few
days ago, very poor man, strug-
Cling to make a payment on farm
of tWenty-four acres, upon which,
by mere accident, the entrance to
this wonderful cave was discovered.
He realized about four hundred
dollars from the sale of mummies,
and is now offered ten thousand
dollars cash for the cave. The
entrance to the cave is within the
town limits, and only about two
minutes walk from the depot. The
newly discovered cave has been
named the "Grand Crystal cave, /"
and it is as beautiful as the word
implies. Ladders and bridges are
being constructed, and j. II. Puck
ett, capitalist of the town, an
nounces his intention Of having a
small steamboat constructed eX-
pressly for the purpose of naviga-
ting its wonderful rivers.

''Second," said somebody else, and
then the moderator put the ques-
ton, "All who are in favor Of adopt
ing the report will signify it by
holding up the right hand" A num-
Der of hands were thrust above the
heads of the audience, and were
small and white and glittering with
rings. The masculine hands were
in the minority. "All opposed by
the same sign" said the moderator.
No hand was raised.
