ANOTHER NATURAL WON
DERER.
A Caye DISCOVERED in Kentucky Surpassed in
Extent Beauty and Curiosities the
.-...J Famed Mammoth.

Cincinnati, Jane GA special
to the Cincinnati Commercial from
Glasgow Junction, KY, June q,
says: Another wonderful cave was
recently discovered near tliis town.
1t has already been explored for u
distance of twenty-three miles in
one direction, called the long route,
and sixteen miles in aifcther direc-
ton, called the. short. route. The
avenues are very wide. A span of
horses can easily be driven through
for a distance OF eleven miles.
Three rivers, wide and very deep.
are encountered on the long route;
one OF them is navigable for four
teen miles, until the passes become
too narrowto almit boat. This
forms the third or river route,
which has to be explored in u boat.
The cave is wonderful beyond
description, and tar surpasses iu
grandeur the Mammoth or any cave
ever before discovered. Several
mummified remains have been dis.
covered in one OF the large rooms.
They were rcposing in onecoffins,
rudely constructed, and from ap-
pearanceS may have been in this
cave for centuries. They present
every appearance of the Egyptian
mummies. Great excitement pre-
walls over this important discovery.
Mr.. Edwin Mortimer, of Chestnut
street, Louisville, KY, purchased
three of the mummies, ana has them
now in his possession. Major
George NJ. Proctor, of Glasgow
Junction, KY, parchased the re-
mainder of the mummies from tho
owner of the cave. whose name is
Thomas Kelly, Tie is, or rather
was, a few days ago very poor
man, struggling to make payment
on farm of twenty four acres, upou
which, by mere accident, the en-
trance to this wonderful cave was
discovered. He realized about 800
from the sale of the dummies, and
is now offered $4,000 cash for the
cave. -
The entrance, to the cave is
within town limits, and is only
about two miles walk from the
depot, which makes it very valua-
ble indeed, as visitors will not be
compelled to travel tive miles in a
stage coach, as they do if desirous
of aHisftiug the Mammoth cave,
which is five miles frsm this town.
In fact, all the celebrated caves of
Kentucky are loGatedin this imme-
diatc vicinity. The surface is very
much broken, full of great eleva-
tions and depresSions, with every
thing to indicate that they were
volcanic eruptions or violent up
heavals of the earth at some period
This is truly, a wonderful portion Of
the continent.
The newly discovered cave has
been named "Grand Crystal Gavep
and it is as beautiful as its nane
implies. Ladders and bridges are
being constructed, and Mr.. j. II.
Huckett, a capitalist of the town,
his intention of havinga
small, steamboat constructed ex.
preSsly for the purpose of navL
eating its wonderful waters.

where, although he could not be
seen, he could plainly see every
thing around him. He wonld then
test the accuracy of his vision by
remarking "Julia, you have your
head on Mr., Smiths left shoulder,
and he has just kissed you;n or,
"Mary, Mr.. Thompson has his arm
around your neck, and | think his
ck-tie is united. Please mention
if | am right" These and similar
remarks were made solely iu pur-
suance OF his plan of training his
eye-sight, and without the slightest
intention of annoying the Young
people; but the latter were horribly
avenged. No matter how low the
gas might be, the old gentleman
could always see just how things in
the parlor were situated. No
young mans nerves could be ex
pected to stand this stort of strain,
and in the course OF three months,
JuliaaDd Mary bad seen themselves
abandoned by half dozen lovers
each. Naturally, this could not be
permitted to go on. The girls were
excellent daughters, clear headed,
well-behayed and affectionate, but
they felt that their duty to their
sex required the suppression of
kind OF father who could see in the
dark. Accordingly, they had the
philosopher arrested as u lunatic
who fancied that he could see in
the dark, and had him confined in
an asylum, where he still remains,
and probably will remain until the
girls arc married. ... ....
His misfortune, however, does not
upset his theory. He has proved
that man WAS intended to be a hoc.
turnal animal, and has thus fully
accounted for the fact that infants
are horn in the night-unless, in:
deed, his alleged experiments never
We're made, and he is really
lunatic, as his daughtersassert that
he is. ..r..

The Difference Between Scrub and

Mr.. Richard Young, of Columbus,
Ga, who is devoting considerable
attention to the improved breeds OF
obattle and sheep, exhibited to us,
M few days, ago, specimens of his
Ujpring shearing, which present
.Sssery strikingly the difference be-
Nween scrub and thoroughbred.
ca'he average yield of his native
ip,wes was two and three quarter
ounds, while that obtained from
is Merino ewes was five and three
beuarter pounds, or more than twice
Tbs much. A Merino ram, fifteen
T..ontbs old, yielded ten and three
u,narter pounds. Mr.. Young in

Origin of a Popular Song.

Old Rosin tho Bow " was the
favorite universal song, ali around
and about here forty years ago,and
it now comes up again and is the
most, popular of all songs. The
same may be said of the first of the
operatic songs, "Tm Afioat,n and

Rosin the Bow it is "Old Russum,

w. III. Sparks, formerly of NatcheI-
We think he told us he wrote the
song while a resident of our city.
Old Rossum was somewhat after
the Beau Brummel order, and was
a peculiar friend of the colonel.
We met the colonel at Atlanta
Iast summer q year ago-we had
known him from the days of oru
earliest childhood-where he was
boarding at the Kimtail house,
with his young, beautiful and de-
voted wife. He was something
over eighty years of age, and seemed
as attractive and lively as though
he were but 40. He met the New
York State press convention at the
city, and his remarkable store of
information, anecdotes, life and
vivacity made him quite "A lion with

Professor Johnson lately ex-
hibited in this city a new iustru-
ment supplied by Mr.. Edison, which
reproduced Levy's i" Last Rose OF
SUMNER" the Carnival of We.
NICE" etc. Every ear was on the
alert to listen to the performance of
the photograph. Levy came in
front of the mysterious thing, and
blew blast on his bugle horn
strong enough, it would seem, to
blow the whole concern out of ex-
iStence, and when he subsidized
Professor johnson reversed the
crank, affixed sort of horn to Il
disk on the cylinder, and cut came
all of Levy'S music, with all its
variations, to the last note. The
wonderment and delight of the
audience were great in the extreme,
and they applauded the articulating
phonograph as if it were a living
and breathing thing. When Miss
Cole sang to it "Comin' thro' the
Rye there was intense curiosity
to hear how it would be returned,
as her voice has II birdlike quality
in the upper register that it was
thought impossible Tor the phono-
graph to counterfeit. When Pro-
fessor johnson turned the crank
Miss Cole herself sat petrified in

trills initiated by the iuseusible
piece of machinery before her. Of
course the song of the phonograph !
was nothing to that of Miss Cole,

velous to hear.-Neio York Herald |
