Another Kentucky Wonder.
Mammoth Cave Eclipsed to the Extent of
Deposit Of Mummies.

The Cincinnati Commercial, of Monday.
says Another wonderful cave has re-
Gently been discovered near Glasgow June
ton, Kentucky. 1t has already been OK
plored 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; a span of horses can easily be driven
through for distance of eleven miles.
Three rivers, wide aud very deep, are en-
countered on the long route. One of them
is navigable for fourteen miles, until the
passages become too narrow TO admit
boat. This forms the third or river route,
which has to be explored in a boat The
cave is wonderful beyond description and
far surpasses in grandeur the Mammoth
or any cave ever before discovered. Sew
eral mummifed remains have been discOv-
cred in one of the large rooms They
were repOsing in stone collins, rudely con-
structed, and, from appearances, may have
been in this cave for centuries. They
present every appearance Of the Egyptian
mummies.
Great excitement prevails over this very
important discovery. Mr.. Edwin Morti-
more, of Chestnut street, Louisville, KY,
purchased three of the mummies and has
them now in his possession. Major Geo.
NJ. Proctor, of Glasgow Junction, KY,
purchased the remainder of the mummies
from the owner of the cave, whose name
is Thomas kelley He is, or rather was
few days ago, very poor man, strug-
Cling to make a payment on a farm of
twenty-four acres, upon which, by mere
accident, the entrance to this wonderful
cave was discovered. He realized about
S4OO from the sale of the mummies, and
is now offered $4,000 cash for the cave.
The entrance to the cave is within the
town limits, and is only about two min
utes walk from the depot, which makes it
very valuable indeed, as visitors will not
be compelled to travel five miles in stage
coach, as they do if DESTROYS of visiting
the Mammoth Cave, which is FIVE miles
from this town. In fact, all the celebrat-
ed caves Of Kentucky are located in this
immediate vicinity. The surface is very
much broken, full of great elevations and
depressiOns, with everything to indicate
that there were volcanic eruptions or vio-
lent upheavals of the earth at some period.
Petroleum is found in paying quantities
near here. About 400 barrels per day are
shipped to the refinery in Louisville. The
Grand Avenue Cave, Diamond Cave, Hun
dTed Room Cave and Hundred Dome Cave
are all in sight of the town. This is truly
q wonderful portion of the continent. The
newly-discovered cave has been named the
Grand Crystal Cave, aud it is as beautiful
as its name implies. Ladders and bridges
are being constructed and Mr. j. H. Puck
EFT, capitalist of the town, announces his
intention Of having small steamboat con-
structed expressly for the purpose of nav
igating its wonderful rivers. Truly, this
is a wonderful age When viii wonders
cease

CURING HYDRoPHoBIA IN NEW HAMP-
sHIRE.-Many years ago Noah Hatch, of
Northumberland, wealthy farmer, had
three or four children bitten by rabid
dog. On the first symptoms of rabies in
the children he started for the ocean.
Portland was the nearest point, and I25
miles distant, but he reached it in about
twenty hours by frequent change of
horses, and Immediately put the children
on board sailing craft and took them
cut short distance, and. fastening weights
to them, three times sank them into the
sea, keeping them under as long as was safe
without extinguishing life
The effect of the submerging was the
cure of the children. Alpha, one of the
bitten children, had hydrophobia spasms,
and would snap her teeth, froth at the
mouth, and bark like dog before reach
ing Portland This individual, now nearly
seventy-five years old, resides in Bethle-
hem, and Mrs. Charlotte Waters, now liv-
ing in Stratford, was one of the bitten
children. The dog that bit the children
bit several animals that subsequently be-
came rabid and were killed. Lhtletoa

Who are the Revolutionists7

The Springfield Republican accuses the
New York San of advocating a revolution.
This is a mistake says the San. We pro-
pose nothing of the kind. Wcare opposes
to a revolution The good old way of
making a President. established and prac-
tised by our fathers, and written in the
Constitution, suits us. We want that and
nothing different We are earnestly OPP
posed to everything revolutionary.
The Republican argues shat we are in
favor of a revolution because we insist that
the man should be President who was
elected TO that Office. How this can be
called revolutionary passes our understand
ing. Is the demand for the Constitution
revolutionary cry?
On the other hand, the Republican in
sisted that man shall be President who
has not been elected according to the Con-
stitution. This seems to us revolutionary
If it is not revolutionary, then there is no
such thing as revolution. II overturns
the constitution. 1t changes the form of
electing or constituting our chief ruler.
And this great, fundamental change is
wrought, not in the manner provided in
the Constitution itself for the amendment
of its own provisions, but suddenly, and
in a manner utterly unknown heretofore.
This certainly was revolution.
The creation of the Electoral Commits
sion was revolutionary. The placing of
Hayes in the Office of President through
such an agency was revolutionary If
there was, as the Republican asserts,
compact to abide by the decision Of the
Electoral Commission, that compact was
unconstitutional ahd revolutionary.
We have q President to-day made by
form never used, never thought of before
Consequently the form of our Government
the form of creating our chief rulers
has been changed The old form has
been superseded. \ new form has been
There has been a revolution.
To this revolution we have been uni
tormly opposed. The Republican has up
held it. The Republican is a revolution

Repeal It.

When that body reassembles next De-
cember, viii not Congress put hook in
the nose of William Tecumseh Sherman,
(who threatens to become a military die
tator,) by repeating his title and abolishing
his salary, reducing him to tie rank of a
General, or to the position he held before
be succeeded Grant as General of the
Army of the United States, with bloated
salary of s13, 500, out of all proportion to
the service he renders. This title and
salary but serve to make him imperious
and Overbearing, and forgetful of the pro-
prieties Of his position. Abolish both to-
gether. Il was mistake in Congress to
establish this title and afix to it so large a
salary. 1t is well calculated to turn the
head of the incumbent, and Sherman's
head has certainly been turned by it.
Congress should look after him, when it
reassembles

The Senate has been always considered
the breakwater against the extravagant
legislation of the House. But at the late
session, and at the two preceding sessions,
it was the spendthrift branch of our ma.
tional Legislature. 1t loaded down the
Sundry Civil bill, which is a sort of legis-
latiye omnibus constructed to carry unsa-
worry jobs at the close of every session,
with between four and five millions of ex-
tras, two-thirds Of which are personal, and
could not have been carried Independently
on their own merits More than twelve
millions of dollars, it is said, have been
appropriated at this session by combina-
tons. which are wholly without excuse in
the present condition of the finances and
of suffering industry.

Hon. Samuel j. Randall will be brought

the same quality, to see that he was duly
installed in the Office. lie would not rest

Cold Summers.

In 1916 there was frost every month
during the year, and farmers wore over
coats in their harvest fields, and the wealth
er was decidedly cool during the entire
year. The wheat crop was abundant; the
corn crop an almost total failure; the potato
crop large. 1t was known as the cold
summer.
The summer of 1886 was nearly as cold
as that of 1916. There was frost every
month in the year; there were It's days
of east wind and rain and the only sum-
mer weather occurred on the first fourteen
days of September, when the mercury in
the thermometer ranged up to 93o.

''to outsiders it seems rather paradoxical,

in the proper college understanding it is
to begin or enter upon life, all that pre-
ceded being only preparatory. Hall gives
it as simply the commencement of the new

the labOring classes suffer great deal from
the competition of "Chinese cheap labor. !"
The Chinese habits are filthy; their dwell

modes of life wretched-but very cheap
Living cheap they can underworld the more
expensive American laborer. 1t is really
