M'KENZIE'S EXPEDITION
Into Mexico in Pursuit of Cattle
Thieves Entirely Successful-MeXi-
can Troops Overawed by the
''B1ys in Blue"

GALVESTON, June 23.-A special to the
Ne,os, from cage Pass, says that General
M'Kenzie and Colonel Shafter arrived there
last night Their commands will arrive to- NOR
row. They penetrated into Mexico about forty
five miles from Newtown, the place of cross
ing, and about eighteen miles east of Sara
gossa, where they were met by detachment
Of the Mexican army, under Colonel Valedez,
drawn up in line of battle. The Mexican
commander inquired the purpose of his inva-
sion, informing General NJ 'Kenzie that he had
orders to repel the American invasion, and
that he NJ 'Kenziel should not proceed fur
tner. The Mexicans position obstrncting
the Americans progress, General NJ Kenzie
warned them to get out of his way, saying
That if they did not do so by four clock on
tat day he would shoot where the Mexicans
were standing, at the same time putting the
men in order of battle. At the appointed
time the Americans advanced, their numbers
appeared to over awe the Mexicans. who
hastily Withdrew to safe distance, but keep
ing In sight of the American troops. M'Ken-
zie asked Valedez if he intended to OBJ
struct the Americans route again, to which
he replied that it was M'Kenzie's business
to guard against that. M'Kenzie said he
would, and that he would come again soon.
Valedez offered detachment of his to escort
the Americans to place of crossing. NJ Ken
ze declined the offer, saying that he was
able to take'care of himself. However, the
Mexicans saw NJ 'Kenzie safely across the
river. The Mexican force was inferior to the
American, hence no blame should be at
tached to the Mexican officers for not at
lacking. No captures were made during the
expedition. This is the American version.

THE MEXICAN DOLLAR.

We observe that questions are asked IN
many of the newspapers about Mexican dol
lars, which are circulated extensively. The
questions are as to what Is the standing of
the coin, and what is their value? There is
a feeling of suspicion getting abroad; fear
that, in some way or other, those who hold
them will suffer loss. The suspicion is well
founded, and the fear will be realized. The
Mexican coin is worth just what the metal it
is made of is worth, and no more. Out of
Mexico a lump of silver of the same weight
and quality of Mexican dollar is worth as
much as that dollar is, except as far as the
stamp and shape of the coin allow of its pass
ing more readily from hand to hand. Our
own dollar has, among ourselves, greater
value than the Mexican dollar because we
can pay it away for any debt we
owe, and we can pay it for
taxes and other things. We cannot do that
with the Mexican dollar. If we offer it in
payment of a debt, and our creditor refuse to
take it, he can prosecute us for his debt just
the same as If no such offer had been made,
because the Mexican dollar is not recognized
by our law, is not illegal tender" The
power the American dollar has to pay debts
and taxes, buy government bonds, and SO on,
gives it a value above that of the metal of
which it is made, just as the ffty-doilar note
has value beyond that of the paper of which
it is made; the Mexican dollar has not this
power, and is therefore worth no more than
the metal which it contains. The banks do
not take the Mexican dollar on deposit, be-
cause they cannot get dollar for it. In
Memphis the brokers buy Mexican dollars at
ninety-fve cents and sell them at ninety-six
to ninety-seven cents, according to the guam
! tity taken. The st. Louis Republican states
that the brokers there get Mexican dollars al
| ninety-two and ninety-three cents, and sell
them about ninety-fve cents. Some day
everybody will refuse to take a Mexican dol
lar for more than ninety five cents, and those
who have them will have to bear loss tc
that amount. In this way the people of this
country will be subjected to loss of thou
| sands of dollars, because they have incau-
tiously accepted coin for one hundred cents
the brokers will sell them for ninety-6ve
cents

THE GREATPARADOX.

If our readers have opportunity to examine
a wide range of newspapers, they will find,
on going over the financial columns, that one
of the heaviest commodities on the market at
the present time is money. The dry goods
store and many other stores complain of the
goods remaining on their shelves, hut it is all
nothing to the way money lies in the bank
ers' vaults. When dry goods go off slow,
the store-keeper can buy slow, and so reduce
his stock. But this slow buying leaves moth
ing for a large portion Of the circulation to
do, and therefore it accumulates at the banks
most, lust when the banker wants it least.
The fewer persons demand money the more
stock he has on hand. Yet the community
at large are in want of money. People have
10 economic owing to want of money. The
more they economic the less use there is
for money, and the more it goes to the
banks. The poor starve for want OF
money to buy food, and because they do not
buy food the farmer, who grows the food,
falls into difficulty and becomes short of
money. Wages are lowered because employ
els have not money enough to pay former
prices, and as the laborer gains less he spends
less, and this decrease of spending brings
trouble to the retailers of whom the laborers
bought their supplies. The very means
taken to meet the bad times help to make
them worse. Money lies IN the banks I'M
used to the loss of the capitalist; society
means and laments over bad trade-bad be-
cause of the shortness of money Here Is q
paradox-a contradiction riddle greater
than the sphinx ever prorounded. One por-
ton of society suffers because it can find no
use for its money, while another suffers be-
cause it cannot get money to use. We can
invent telephones and electric lights, we can
! search the deepest seas, penetrate the central

will represent from fifty to seventy gas lets
according to circumstances. The power re-
CURED is equal to two-horse steam power.
and the cost of carbon points, as already
steady, Is twopence per hour for each lamp
When the power is that of water, the cost Is
inconsiderable, and when that of coal has to
be taken into account for the steam engine,
It amounts to twopence per hour, bringing the
total up to tourpence per hour, and lubrica-
ton Is set down at about one-fourth pence
more while the wear of the machinery is re-
garded as nil. Taking for the basis that the
electric lamp only replaces the minimum
number of gas jets, namely fifty, it is seven
times cheaper than gas, motive power not
included, and four times cheaper, taking the
cost OF driving as estimated above. These
facts compose a strong case, and the success
which has been obtalnedis easily ascertained d.
A perfect light, as regards colors, which
neither Injuries the eyes of the workpeople,
nor renders factories unhealthy by contamin-
ating the air, while Immensely reducing the
risk of fire, and which saves seventy-five per
cent. on the cost of gas lighting, possesses so
many advantages that it is only surprising
that the manufacturers are not more eager to
accept it at once The experiments in the
electric lighting with the Gramme machine
are now daily repeated at the Palais de
L lHuuslIlSi III dIlS. An AREA OI Twelve
thousand square yards is lighted by two cleo
trict lustres of six lamps each, suspended at
twenty seven yards from IKE ground. The
power is supplied by two steam engines Of
twenty-h five horse power each. 1t would take
ten thousand candles to yield an equ valent
light on the floor, or three hundred thousand
to illuminate the whole space as thoroughly.
At first there was a single luster, they then
used two, and it is proposed soon to intro
duce three. 1t is understood that during the
international exhibition there will be tests
made of the various methods of lighting
streets and buildings with electricity, and the
relative value of the different systems will be
determined. One division of the exhibition
is to be devoted exclusively to electricity.
Although it is conceded that the light afford
ed by electricity is far superior to any other
wise available, some difference of opinion
exists regarding the superiority of the several
apparatus now introduced, and the compare
tive expense. Measures are to be taken to
insure the utmost impartiahty in the expert
ments, and the results will be anticipated

late William Cullen Bryant was offered for
probate yesterday to the surrogate of Queens
county. 1t is dated December 6, 1872, is in
his own handwriting, remarkably legible,
aud bears no trace of trembling or nervous
ness. Besides his two daughters, one the
wife of Parke Goodwin and the other unmar-

nephews and nieces and those of his wife.
The requests, otherwise than to his daughters,
are four acres of land and eight thousand
dollars in money to the overseer of his es-
tate, George B. Cline, and two hundred dol
lars to the latter's son. All the rest OF his
property, including his interest in the EUen

daughters. If either daughter dies childless
her share shall go to the surviving sister, and
it is especially directed that the property
given to the daughters shall be free from the

A WONDERFUL CAVE
Discovered by n Poor Farmer, near
Glasgow, acknowledgements Roads
TwentS-three Miles Long, ana
Rivers Manageable for FOar-
teen NileS.
Special to the st. Louis Evening Post. l


GLASGOW, KY, June 22.-Another won
derful cave has recently been discovered near
this town. II has already been explored for
a distance of twenty-three miles IN one direc-
ton, called the "Long Route" ard sixteen
miles in another direction, called the ''Short
Route The avenues are very wide, and d
span of horses can easily be drawn through
wide and very deep, are encountered In
the Long Route One of these
rivers 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 boat.
The cave is wonderful beyond description,
and far supersedes in grandeur the NAM
moth, or any cave ever before discovered.
Several mummified remains have been dis
covered in one of the large rooms. They were
reposing in stone collins, rudely constructed,
and from their appearance may have been IN
this cave for centuries. They present every
appearance of Egyptian mummies. 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 posses
sion. Major George M. Proctor, of Glasgow
Junction, Kentucky, purchased the remain
der of the mummles from the owner OF the
cave, whose name is Thomas Kelly. He is,
or rather was, few days ago, very poor
man, struggling to make payment ON q
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. Ihe newly
discovered cave has been named the Grand
Crystal cave" and it Is as beautiful as the
