day says that in developing rabbit-hole
on the hillside in Luray, explorers have
struck veriable underground world OF
wonders. Cavern after cavern, corridors,
galleries, amphitheaters of immense ex-
tent, and extraordinary freaks of nature in
the fantastic forms assumed by stalactite
and stalagmite. All these have been dis
covered at Luray on scale that probably has
few equals in the world. The curious for
nations that present themselves on every
side are due to the infiltration of water i'm
pregnated with mineral matter, which fall
ing through countless ages have deposited
the latter and built up strange shapes that
fill the beholder with wonder and awe. In
this dark labratory of nature untiring
forces have been in silent operation since

The Responsibility of Landlords.
New YORK, Nov. 13-The Herald says:
At Middletown. in this S ate, a suit was
brought in 1875 against the landlord and
tenant of liquor saloon for damages
caused by the loss of horse which was
driven to death by the plaintiffs son while
intoxicated by liquors supplied to him at
the saloon. Plaintiff obialned verdict in
his favor, which was confirmed at the Gen
eral Term, and the landlord carried the
case so far as he was concerned, to the
Court of Appeals.
The action was brought under the law of
1873, known as the Civil Damage Law
which makes the owner or lessee of the
premises on which intoxicating liquors are
sold jointly liable with the tenant for any
damage done by an intoxicated person who
has been supplied with liquor on such prem
ises. The Court of Appeals now atlirms the
Judgment of the lower Courts, thus estab-
fishing The liability OF the owners or land
lords of any premises in the State used in
liquor business for damages done by any
drunken person who may procure liquor at
such places.
Prospects Of "a Petroleum War.
New York, Nov. 13.-The Sun to-day,
speaking of the Standard Oil Company,
said: This company, founded by poor
laboring man and book-keeper, is now
controlling the third largest export from
the United States, and divides 81 1,OOO, 900
a month in profits.
A desperate G contest seems about at its
climax between this Company and the pro-
ducers, who declare the Company has them
by the throat. 1t is said that Pennsylvania
short time ago had a narrow escape from a
conflict between the Company and producers
with the worst features of the riot in Pitts
burg and the threa ened violence may not
even yet be averted. Hartranft is seriously
alarmed.
That such monopoly could arise and
maintain itself in this country seems i'm
possible, yet the producers furnish appar-
emily indisputable proofs that it is just
what they represent it to be.
FavOrs Ship Canal.
Admiral Ammen says that while a ship
canal across the Isthmus, through Nicarau-

With as much gravity as he could COM
mand, an English bishop has been investi-
eating practical joke. Some commction
was caused by the refusal of the Vicar of
Sheen, near Ashbourne. to administer holy
communion to a young man whom he
deemed unworthy. The Bishop of Lich-
field, after much correspondence and cross
examination, has ascertained what was the
impropriety with which the young COM
municant was charged. One morning in
August he went to the house of a young
woman of the village and pulled string
which she had out through the window,
and which was attached to her foot thus
awakening her. The freak arose out of
wager between them as to which of the two
could get up first,

Can Inflatlonists Tell Us2

A correspondent of the Lynchburg Neaos,
who signes himself 'sRebus," puts the fol-
lowing questions to that class of financial
monomaniacs who profess to cure all the ills
of hard times by initiating the country with
worthless currency:
LIST. How initiating the currency, now more
than .wice as great as in 1S60-'61, will BEN
eft the people unless the people have some
thing to produce the money?
I'd. If the currency is increased how arc
the people to be benefited? Will not the
pu: chasing power Of the currency decrease
as the volume increases? What difference
will it make if a man gets 81 a day for work
and pays 81 for fifty pounds OF flour, twelve
pounds OF meat, ten pounds OF sugar, or If
he gets $3.50 day and have to pay so per
cent for his necessaries?
Sd. When, in the history Gf the world, did
labor advance in price as money declined in
to buy 81 in gold, what iaborng man got
the half of 500 for his days work?
4. How much more did the currency of
the State Banks cost the people than does
the National currency now cost, allowing
loss in exchanging notes of one State for
those Of another, loss by breaking OF banks,
&C., &c.
9Th. What body, personal or political, ev-
er improved its condition by watering" its
circulating medium, making the sound un-
sound, and the pure impure?
9th. If nine-tenths of the business Of the
country is now done by drafts, checks, &c..
what guarantee of increase of business does
a further issue of paper money give, when
there are plenty of facilities for transact
ing ten times the present amount?
9TH. Isn't redeemability in coin the basis
of bank notes worth and, if so, what ba-
sis of value has your irredemable paper,
which to have value must be promise to
pay in dollars, and if the promise is stamped
on note and never performed, isn't the
whole thing fraud
4 18th. Wasn't the present condition of things,
hard times, brought about mainly by specu-
lations, ventures, experiments, extrava-
gance, &c., engendered by the period of re-
dundant currency, preceding the panic, and
isn't this state of things usual to all periods
when money is plentiful and easy to get?
9th. In reason or by past experience can
real relief come, save through the tried, true,
solid way of patience, economy and indus
;sy?
10th. Haven't the politicians generally
mounted the most spacious, plausible hob
)ies to ride into public favor, because they
we're specifically pleasant and promised to
,e popular? And lastly, what, ON . what,
will be the destiny of country worked out
~ the politicians?

Some years ago William Cullen Bryant re.
ceived letter, as editor of the Epening Post,
which was written by servant girl, yet so
simply and beautifully expressed that he had
some of his literary friends who were inter-
ested to learn how she had acquired such an
admirable style. On questioning her she
told him she had a great dread of spelling
words wrong anI when she undertook to
write anything, ii word suggested itself to
her which she could not spell, she selected
another which she was sure she could spell
right. This was the secret of her pure and
simple style.
