poor man, struggling to make pay
ment on q farm of twenty-four acres,
upon which, by q mere accident the
wonderful cave was discovered. He
realized about $4OO from the sales of
the mummies and is now offered S1O,-
600 cash for the cave. The entrance
to the cave is within the town limits
and is only about two minutes walk
from the depot, which makes it very
valuable indeed, as visitors will not
be obliged to travel five miles in q
stage coach, as they do ifthey desire
to vislt the Mammoth Cave, which is
five miles from this town. In fact all
the celebrated 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 violent up
heavals of the earth at some period.
This is truly wonderful portion of
the continent. The newly discovered
cave has been named the Grand Crys-
tai Cave, aud it is as beautiful as it's
name implies. Ladders and bridges
are being constructed, and Mr.. j. Il.
Pickett, capitalist of the town, an
nounces his intention of having q
small steamboat constructed expressly
for the purpose of navigating Its won
derful rivers.

up other Princes against her, and

claim the assistance of Russia and ex-
ercise over each sort of protection,
which will lead the way to q future
dominion over them.
XI.-Make Austria drive the Turks
out of Europe, and neutralize her jeal-
ousy by Offering to her portion of
your conquests, which you will. fur
ther on, take back.
XII.-Above all, recall around you
the schismatic Greeks, who are spread
over Hungary and Poland. Become
their centre. and support universal
dominion over them by kind of sa-
cerdotal rule (dutOcratic saceyaOtale);
by this you will have many friends

of the universe with Russia. If one
accept, flatter her ambition and amour

will be possessed of the whole of the

keeping France in check with the one

our yoke.
Thus can Europe be smIjugated.

CINCINNATI, June 24.-A special to
the Commercial from Glasgow juno
tion, KY, says another wonderful cave
has been discovered near this town.
1t has already been explored for
distance of twenty-three miles; in an
other direction called the short route,
the avenues are very wide. A span
of horses can easily be driven through
for q distance of eleven miles. Three
rivers, wide and very deep, are en-
countered on the long route. One OF
them is navigable for fourteen miles,
until the passage becomes 100 narrow
to admit boat. This forms the third
or river route. which has to be explor-
ed in boat. The cave is wonderful
beyond description, and far surpasses
in grandeur the Mammoth or any cave
ever before discovered. Several NUM-
mified remains haYe been discovered
in enc of the large rooms. They were
reposing in stone coffins, rudely con-
structed and from appearances may
have been in this cave for centuries,
They present every appearance OF
Egyptian mummies. Great excite
ment prevails over this very import.

FRENCH DAImYING.


Near Isigny, France, there are farms
that sell FL, 600 worth of butter yearly.
Isisny butter throughout the winter
brings more than 3s per pound whole-
sale, by auction,at Paris, and in summer
The care exercised in tho ho..------------ ..---------
of butter at Isigny is something ex-
cessive, and much of the quality is at
tributed to this. The hand never
touches the butter, it is always beaten
up in clothes the utensils are Of mar
velous cleanliness, and if drop OF
milk or cream falls on the floor it is at
once sluiced away. The butter is perA
fectly made at the dairies, but not
salted there or prepared for exporta-
ton. It is taken to the market towns
and there purchased by dearlers whose
trade it is to send it either in its fresh
state or slightly salted for export. 1t
is sent off in large earthenware jars,
or timed, or in cold weather merely
in baskets, the butter being wrapped
in cloth. One firm engaged in the ex-
port business realizes f8,OOO year
commission upon its sales in London.
This house SIS managed by woman,
and is thoroughly well managed too.
Tho desertion of the women farm SER
wants, seeking employment in towns,
is so severely felt that the butter trade
of Normandy is threatened with ruin,
although wages as high as those OBJ
tanned in towns are offered, and many
farmers haye ceased making butter,
and turn their fine pastures to the fat
tening of cattle.-lEnglishP Paper.

For the PRESS.
THE FIRST cur OF WINE.


'Tis the first emp OF wine.
But gay fashion demands,
And he takes the bright draught
From the fair, jeweled hands;
Yet pauses a moment,
(The cup at his lips)
To pledge her fair health
In the poison he sips,
And bid manhood good bye!
All, does he remember
His far-away homer
The proud. loving smile.
And the tear that would come
To his mothers fond eyes.
As she bade him adieu,
whispering softly the words:
MY boy oh, be true.
Let the gay wine pass by!''
But fashion has triumphed.
The first cup is drained:
Another must follow
Or friends will be pained;
Who falters refusal
Most surely must yield;
And 50 the nights record
Forever was sealed,
By the red touch of wine.
What poor wretch is that
Staggering on through the street,
Whom people may pity.
But shudder TO meet;
Resting low,y Mt last
In his clothing of rags,
With life's sands ebbing fast
On the pavement's rude flags;
Yet pleading for wine.
Hush! he speaks calmer now,
Though his voice falters weak;
And tear slowly rolls
O'cr his rough bearded cheek;
Words that sound like prayer.
AS his eyes seek the blue;
'.Will she know me up there,
Whom she bid to be true;
God knoweth. not l.
The low voice softly ceased.
And the crowd looking down,
Saw great tears cleaning now
Like the gems of a crown;
Saw a smile on the lips,
Such as youth might have worn,
As the spirit aloft
In repentance was borne:
To tho s,.-,.. ~. hill. .-----
Oh, in youth then beware
How you trifle with wine;
For \ serpent lies coiled
At the foot of the vine;
And tempt not your fate.
But say steadfastly "nay,''
And let not the bloom
OF life's springtime decay;
In the first cup of wine.
