through Rue Rivoli, Bois de Boulonge to
the Louvre, (now partly in ruins) and
stood in the court where, from a window
above, Charles TX fired on his subjects
the night of the Huguenot massacre; and
DR.. Loomis pointed out the spot where
fell the venerable Coliguy, on that fear
full night of st. Bartholomew. Into the
galleries we went, wandering through
Assyrian and Egyptian courts till com
pletely lost in the labyrinthian passages;
and, of all there, l only remember the
statue af Rameses II, who flourished in
the 18th century before Christ, and Ra-
meses III, of the 11th century, B. G.
Perhaps 1 might give more lucid ac-
count of the treasures of antiq uity, but
the fact was, my attention was at first at
tracted by an incursion of "Cooks Excur-
sion''; there was only about 300 of them,
and they filled the room so full that, like
Yankee Doodle, couldn't see the objects
for looking at the people.
Then, in our carriages again, past the
ruined Tuelleries, where is kept ascaptive
balloon, which, later in the day, we saw
ascending heavenward. Passing the Col
umn of Juliette, in the BastiIe, which
has been memorable in every revolution
of French history, and especially in the
late communistic riots of II; by the Place
de la Coneorde, where stands the obelisk
of Luxor, on the spot where perished
Charlotte Corday, Marie AItOinette,
Robespeirrie, and over five thousand 9TH
ers during that revolution, and where it
was proposed to erect fountain in COM
memoration of the dreadful scenes there
enacted, which proposition was opposed
and overruled, on the ground that all the
rivers in the world could not wash away
the stains of blood. Through the Lux
emburg gardens we walked, where are
placid ponds and lovely fountains, with
graceful Statuary intersperced among the
trees, to the statue of theill-starred Mar
shal Ney, erected on the spot where he
was execution.
Then, taking carriages again, passed the
Arch di TrioInphe, Arch Triomphe
Ca-rousals, erected by Napoleon in imi-
itation of the Arch of Severus, of Rome;
Place Vendome to Notre Dame Cathedral,
where the Church Festival of the As
sumption was celebrated, and we were in
time to get good view of the prelates in
all the glory of their golden and crimson
pontificia1' robes,' and wax tapers. Then
through the Latin quarter and Palace of
Justice and Liberty, the stones of the
walls are inscribed with the names of
1900 ilIustrious personages. To the Pan
theon we next turned our steps, and then
home through the lovely Champs Elysees,
with its terraces, fountains and beauti-
full shrubbery. People strolling up and
down the shady walks; children playing;
quiet couples sitting in out-of-the-way
corners; equipage of every description,
passing and repassIng, it is. still an ami
mated place, albeit the fashionable world
long ago fed the city and left this charm
ing retreat to the nursemaids, the coun-
try cousins and 'sthose dreadful Ameri-
cans" sr2 5'

A TREMENDOUS CAVE.
A Remarkable story That Comes From
Huntington County, Pa.

A letter in the Harrisburg Patriot says:
Some time ago a Mr.. Nef, residing near
Alexandria, Huntington county, this
State, went to his well to get drink and
found it dry. He then went down into
the we'll to make repairs, and was much
surprised to find not pint of water and
the bottom had fallen out. A cool breeze
blew up strong enough to rustic the leaves
of tree standing near. He tied a Ian
tern to rope 100 feet long and let it
down and as the lantern still burned he
rightly concluded that the air was pure.
He then procured a spliced rope 800 feet
in length, and to the end attached bas-
ket containing lantern, dog and cat.
Helet them down, striking bottom at 291
feet At the end of six hours the basket
was brought up. The lantern was still
burning, and the only visible effect on the
dog and cat was clIilliness. The xtday
the owner of the woll, accompanied by
trusty nefghbor, Mr.. Lefford, descended
to the bottom. What was their surprise
to find an immense cave stretching miles
and miles in every direction. Stalagmites
and stalatites ofmagnifcent gorgeousness
lent beauty and variety to the otherwise
tomb-like scene. Here and there flow
ing stream of water rippled over stony
beds, while thousands and thousands of
bats fiuttered their clammy wings, sur
prised at the intrusion of man. Petrified
sea shslIs of hundred varieties strewed
the floors and protruded through the
strata After spending ten or twelve
hours of continuous wandering, during
which time they penetrated beneath and
beyond Alexandria, and discovered a
vein of nickel ore and a nugget of metal
resembling antimony, they returned to
the surface, where their half-stricken
wives clasped them to their bosoms
thinking they had been lost. It is sup.
posed that this cave is connected will
those at Warrior Ridge and Sinking Val
ley, only few miles away. Specimens
of the nickel ore have been sent to Phila
delphia and analysed, and pronounced
superior to the nickel of either Lancaste
or Germany, the only two places on tn
globe where it is now mined.

He Preferred to walk.

''She's pretty hot, amt she?'' said a
back-wOods passenger, addressing the en-
gineer of Mississippi steamer that was
racing with another boat.
''So-so,' responded the engineer, as he
hung an additional wrench on the safety
valve cord to stop the steam from escap-
ing.

"That's about it, returned the engin-

cone hundred and ninety-five," hum
med the passenger, looking first at the
gauge and then at the boilers.
''That's about where she's rusticating," :"
put in the engineer,
Then the passenger ran his fingers
through his hair nervously, and walked
about the deck for few minutes, when
he came back to the engineer and OBJ
served.
HHadn't you better leave that boat go ?''
'Can't do it. Must pass her."
"But s'posin' we should blow up?''
''we1l,'' said the engineer, as he peeped
over the guard to see how he was going,
''if it is the will of Providence for the
boat to blow up We'll have to stand by it,
Then he hallooed to the fireman to roll
up another flask of bacon and to mix
plenty of rosin with the coal, and give
her little more turpentine and oil.
The next moment there was a splash in
the river; but before the yawl could be
lowered the man had succeeded in reach
ing the shore, and hallowed out:

r@ a-@ COLUMBUS, Sept. %, 1878.
Perhaps I should apologize for asking
space in your valuable paper to deny any
thing that so debased, and notoriously
untruthful sheet as the Ohio Statesman,
should or has published, for so well
known is its reputation in this communi-
ty for filth and falsehoed, that marriage
and funeral notices are questioned pub
lished in its columns:
The charge that have any claim, or
interest in any claim, against the Govern
ment of any character, either for cotton
or anything else, is simply a lie. Years
ago Butler, Miller 6 Co. had claim
against the Government for small lot of
cotton taken from them by the military
authorities at Nashville, and vouchers is
sued therefor. The matter has been paid
and settled long ago-I think at least three
years-by special appropriation of Con-
gress for the purpose, and amounted to
$12, 900, instead of $75O,OOO, as stated by
Linton. For the appropriation and pay
ment us of our just and unquestioned de-
mand, we were chiefly indebted to Sena-
tor Thurman, whose influence in passing
the appropriation bill was more potent
than any other member of Congress in its
favor. Truly yours, 4

The leaders of the Ohio Democracy are
just now bowling themselves hoarse in
their denunciation of contraction and
specie resumption. and yet it seems but
short time since the following resolution
was passed by the National House of
Representatives, and for which every
Democrat voteds with one single excep-
ton: ,---5--. -4t. s.'.
'Reso1Ued, That this House cordially
concurs in the views of the Secretary of
the Treasury in relation to the necessity
of a contraction of the currency, with a
view to as early resumption of specie
payments as the business interests of the
country will permit, and we hereby
pledge cooperative action to this end as
speedily as practicable.''
This was followed by an act authoriz-
ing the contraction of the currency at the
rate of four millions per month, and for
this measure every last Democrat in the
House voted, not excepting VOORHEES,
the great rag baby blowhard. How can
the people place any reliance in men who
have shown themselves such unmitigatet
demagogues and political weathercocks.-

The time has come and now is when
the greenbaek dollar will buy more of the
neeessaries of life than the g gOld dollar of
1861 would; when American manufac-
turers are selling their wares in the mar
kets of the world, cutlery in Sheffield and
watches in Geneva; when long dormant
railway and marine commerce enterprises
are showing forth new life; when the
people are leaving the over crowded cities
of the East and are pouring out to fill up
the great plain between the Mississippi
and the Rocky Mountains; when our
mines are yielding up their untold treas
ures of coal, iron, silver and gold in an
abundance never before known; when all
the great depots of trade are feeling the
impulse of new birth; when merchants
are selling more goods for cash than at
any time in the last five years; when a
harvest greater than the world has ever
before know is being gathered and pushed
forward to a ready purchaser; when the
people begin to show that the fever of ficti-
tious prosperity has cooled, and that they
have gone far towards learning that true
economy upon which real prosperity is
| builded; when the balance of trade, so
long against us, is in our favor by some
thing more than $257 ,OOO, ,OOO-at this time
the demagOgue is filling the ears of the
people with hypocritical lamentations
over the good old days that are gone, and
lying assertions of business prOstration
and an impoverished people.-CommeTcia

Quaint city.

In the old Dutch city of Amsterdam,
all fashionable houses border on canal.
The streets are named from the canals
that pass through them. The houses are
not built upright, but lean towards one
another, as though very polite or syste-
matically drunk. Their tops often nearly
touch over the narrow streets. This is
said to shelter them from the storm. In
gable is large hook for hoisting every
conceivable thing into the house; clothes
which are always sent to the country for
washing, fruits, butter, coal, turf. Little
mirrors jut out from many windows, so
that callers may be seen as they approach
the door. Owing to the canals, the city
is very quiet. 1t is hard to believe that
nearly three hundred thousand people
are gathered in the houses which stand
along the canals.
The streets are paved with stone, as in
this country, but there is scarcely any
roar of carts or wagons. Boats do duty
in their stead. Some of these are pro-
pelled by steam; few flap their choco-
late-colored sails, but the most are pushed
through the water by means of long poles
These boats bear all manner of freight
Many boats furnish the home for the
boatman and his family. They are moi
simply workshops. There is kind OF
homely romance in the boatman's life
By the side of the canals there is gener-
ally Il narrow carriage-rOad and two foot
paths. A line of trees on either side o.
the paths furnish pleasant shade in
summer. The aristocrats are careful tt
walk in the paths next to the canals, rs i
is mark of good breeding. ul a.-. ....e

VEGETJNE
Purifies the Blood and Gives
Strength.

DU QUOIN, ILL, January 81, 1873.
Mr. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-YOur s'Vegetine" has been doing Won
ders for me- Have been having Chills and Fever
contracted in the swamps of the South, nothing
giving relief until began to use your egetlne
it giving me immediate relief, toning up my sys-
TEN, purifying my bleod, giving strengths; where
as ali other medicines weakened me, and filled my
system with poison; and am satisfied that if fam
ies that live in the ague districts of the South and
West would take Negetine two or three times a
week they would not be troubled with the Chills
or the malignant Feyers that prevail at certain
times of theyear, save doctor bills. and live to
good old age. Respectfully yours,
J. z. MITCHELL,
Agent Henderson's Looms, St. Louis, Mo.
ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.-If Fegetine will
relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseas
es, restoring the patient to perfect health, after
trying different physicians, many remedies, suf-
fering for years. is it not conclusive evidence, if
yOu a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this
medicine performing such great cures: 1t works
in the blood, in the circulating fluid. 1t can truly
be called the Great Blood Purifier. The source of
disease originates in the blood; and no med cine
that does not act directly upon it, to purify and re-
nOyate, has any just claim upon public attention.

Mr.. Thurman is Sin favor of the free
coinage of silver;" yet not one person in

have, dollars worth of silver bullion to

talists will have it in abundance. The
net profit will be ten cents on the dollar.

PAIN AND DISEASE. - Can we expect to enjoy
good health when bad or corrupt hUInOrs circulate
with the blood, causing pain and disease; and
these humOrs being deposited throughout the en-

the cause by taking Vegetine, the most reliable
remedy for cleansing and purifying the blood.
