A NEW cave larger and grander than
Mammoth Cave, has been discovered in
Kentucky. 1t has been explored in one
direction sixteen miles, and in another
twenty-three. Three rivers, one of which
is nagigable for fourteen miles are en-
countered in the latter gallery. Mummies
are found there, in stone collins, the whole
resembling those Of Egypt. The owner
of the farm on which the entrance is,
was q poor man. He sold the mummies
for four hundred dollars, and 10 offered
$4,000 for the cave.

A Little Temperance Story.

There was, however, q little queer feel
ing among many of the Exchanges COM
mitteemen. The arrangements for the
trip were under the charge of sub-com-
mittee, consisting of Clement A. Griscom,
William M. Baugh, William Brockie, and
Theodore Justice, these being actively
assisted Ivy Stephen N. Winslow, Chair
man Of the General Committee, and the
Secretary, George G. Pierre. Some time
before the steamer started there was put
aboard by members Of the committee one
basket of champagne, case of brandy
and case of whisky. subsequently
there were added to this two baskets of
"Blue Seal" paid for by three or four
gentlemen. This stock of liquor was
laid in in consequence of an intimation
received from Attorney General Devens
that something to drink upon river ex-
cursion was thing not to he despised
Mrs. Hayes, also, on the previous evening,
at the Union League reception, stated
this upon the best of authority when
the question was asked her whether or
not she would object to having liquor
aboard the steamer, that while she did
not care to have it in her own house, still
she could not dictate to others for"
said the first lady of the land, ait would
be neither decorous nor proper for me to
interfere on such an OCCASION" So the
liquor was brought aboard, but it did not
remain aboard. without the shadow
of authority said prominent commit
teeman, in indignant tones, Theodore
Justice and Christian J. Hoffman seized
the cases of liquor and the baskets of
wine, quietly ordered darkey to place
them in II wheelbarrow and return them
to Joseph +. Tobias store, ON Front
street, and the eXcursionists were perforce
a temperance crowd-so thought Messrs
Justice and Hoffman. There was only
one private flask in the party. 1t was
not private long. Then the committee
men began growing. I'VE will cut
their combs when we meet said they.
The steamer had turned about and wes
going down the river aud the whistling
and cannonading was still going on.
Webb Z. Hayes had been left behind
when the boat started and 81 it was pro-
posed to stop at Walnut street wharf and
pisk him up. The steamer ran near the
wharf, but there was no Webb Z. Hayes
there. stop and wait for u while,'
said Mr.. Justice. $50 on" said Colonel
Winslow, and the vessel went on. Down
at the navy yard there was heavy firing
and marines drawn up in line, and about
here the clouds, that had been all the
morning threatening wetting, opened
enough to let a broling sun glare through.
"Ny tongue is hanging OUT" said Gen.
.,f ~ al

Preside. was still away up on the hur-
rioane deck with his overcnat on. Mrs.
Hayes Was in the saloon beneath. Tie
steamer stopped long enough at the new
drawbridge above Glrard Point, ut the
mouth of the Schuylkill, to put ashore

traes and collected $50 from the ladies
on the boat, Mrs. Hayes putting 80 in his
pocket.--Phiiadelph,a Times.

Horse Distemper, or Epizootic.

l read statement in the Chronicle or
Dec. gath, taken from the Chico Record
that Mr.. Cone of Tehama county had lost
$40, 900 worth of mules and horses from
CHAMBERS, which l am quite positive is a
mistake. There never has been one hun
dred cases Of CHAMBERS in California.
Chambers is disease that has two origins
The first is, a horse may have farcy and
sores break out on the legs, generally ofe
at time. The horse bites the sore, gets
the matter into his nostrils, snutfs it into
the glands and inoculates the disease into
the head and glands. Local treatment
being impossible, the disease goes on for
months, and maybe for years, before he
dies from it, and the only way that other
horses can take it FROM him is from get
ting the matter off the stalls or fence or
from smelling the diseased horse, thus
becoming inoculated. Distemper or cpl
zootic has two forms: One form only af
tects the head and glands, is very con-
tagious, and often fatal. The other at
tacks the whole system, is not SO cOnta-
gious nor so fatal, and seldom produces
death until the limbs become swollen and

same appearance as CHAMBERS. This is
the disease Mr.. Cones animals have, and
it is raging to some extent all through
the Sacramento Valley. Tue Tide Land
and Reclamation Company at Union
Island have had the disease among their
horses, and many veternaries and horse
men pronounce it CHAMBERS. They had
lost many, and several have been killed
to stop the disease from spreading. The
President General Thomas II. Williams,
called on horseman Of practical expert
ence, who at once pronounced it distem-
per, whereupon the General commenced
treating the disease for distemper, and
out of several hundred horses that have
had it he has lost only a few, and the
balance have got we'll. This is couclu-
sive proof that the disease is not CHAMBERS,
as that disease is incurable, and no horse
has ever been cured that had it. All
horsemen agree that it cannot be cured.
hope you will lay this much needed
information before the public and oblige
all owners of horses.-Horse OOner, in

Costly Correspondence.

The jury in the case of Edgerly against
Smith returned verdict for the plaintiff
yesterday for $4,000 damages. The cause
of action was an alleged libelous state
ment contained in letters written by Mrs.
Smith concerning the plaintiff, who is a
resident of Boston. 1t would be well for
letter writers to understand that when
they write injurious words about others
they are liable to be sued for damages
1t is not necessary that libelous letter
should be read by more than one person ;
the injury is the same in the eye of the law,
as if it was published in the columns OF
a newspaper having a circulation of a
million copies. The trouble in this case
had its origin in 1t little family quarrel.
Sally Edgerly, daughter of the plaintiff,
is cousin Of Mr.. Joseph E. Smith, the
defendant, and lived in his family for
ten years. She left quite suddenly and
got married, leaving behind a trunk con-
tanning new sacque, to which article of
dress she was dovotedly attached. There
was some delay in forwarding the trunk
to her new house in Jerseyville, and Mrs.
Smith claimed the sacque because she had
purchased the material of which it was
made. The loss of her favorite sacque
made Sally very angry, and she wrote a
spiteful letter to Mrs. Smith, and told
Mrs. Mitchell something that was not
complimentary to Mrs. =. Thereupon
Mrs. Smith became indignant, aud wrote
some letters derogatory to the character
of Sally's mother, the plaintiff herein.
This and other letters fell into the hands
Of Mrs. Edgerly, living neal Bunker Hill
Monument, and she vowed vengeance
upon the whole Smith family. She Sc.
lected Mr.. VIM. +. Smith, attorney, as her
counsel, and he instituted four libel suits
against the Smiths, based on the letters.
The third of these suits was tried yester-
day, with the result above named. Oh
Stay back defended the Smiths with his
usual vim, but his opponent was foeman
worthy of his steel, and the case for the
plaintiff WAS so clearly and torcibly pre-
seDted that the jury gave verdict for
pretty round sum, although much larger
an cunt was claimed. The Instructions
of the Judge were satisfactory to both
sides, and the jury was possessed of more
than average intelligence.-St. Louis
Globe. Democrat.

SAND FOR BEppING.-A correspondent
of the Ne,o England Farmer advocates
the use OF dry sand for bedding horses
aud cattle. He thinks that it is the
clcanest substance which can be used,
and it is of great mechanical advantage
in dividing tie manure. Horses and cat
tie tramp upon it and in that way cause
t to cut up the manure. Spread under
hen roosts it acts to keep the floor clean,
and makes the manure easy to handle
Then manure mixed with sand can be
kept in boxes and barrels without giving
II any unpleasant odors. 1t is an excel
lent compound 10 use for manuring in
the hill, aud is the very best substance
to put in fower-po,s or in beds where
hardy plants are grown. A mixture OF
sand and muck is greatly superior to
muck alone for bedding purposes, as the
sand will divide the muck and thorough.
ly mix in with the manure. Any manur,
ia which sand is mixed is easy t. handle,
and may be spread with uniformity.
