The Mystery of Seven Skeletons.

A cave has been discovered or the
farm Of Mr.. Henry O'Brien, of Lyon
county, Ky. The cave is in the high
bluffs that overlook the Tennessee river.
Mr.. O'Brien and his neighbors explored
it the other day, and they were Mortified
to find seven skeletons tenanting the
darkness. Judging from their surround
ings, and the fact that the mouth of the
room in which they were found had been
almost entirely INSTRUCTED by debris,
which must have been many years in
accumulating, it is probable that the
bones are those of some early aborigines
of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. The
appearance of two of the skeletons would
indicate that fearful tragedy had been
enacted in the gloomy recess of this sub.
terranean cavern, for one of them lies
across the other, and the bony fingers of
both hands yet clutched the throat of
the supposed victim. The walls of the
room in which the skeletons were dis
covered are as smooth as if they had
been finished with chisel. Outside of
the bones not a vestige of anything that
would indicate that the cave had eveI
been occupied By human beings remains.

The Rock of Gibralter.

There is only one hindrance to the
Spaniards retaking Gihralter from Eng
land, as they now desire to do, and that
is that it is impregnable. Three of its
sides are so precipitous as to be wholly
inaccessible, and the fourth side, sloping
down to the water, is protected by about
1000 pieces of artillery. The Moors
were finally driven from the fortress by
the Spaniards in 1862, and the latter
then strengthened it, and supposed they
had made it impregnable, but it was cap
tured by few British sailors, under Sir
George Rock, in 1904, and the most des-
perate and most perseyering efforts have
been unavailing to retake it. In 1713
it was confirmed to Great Britain by the
treaty of Utrecht. The Spaniards at
tackled it with large force in 1927, and
in 1879 the assault was renewed by a
combined French and Spanish fleet.
This latter siege lasted three years. BY
June all communication between the
rock and the main land was cut off, and
the following month the fortress was
completely blockaded. The besiegers
brought to bear all the resources of war
by land and sea, and their operations
were directed by the ablest French and
Spanish engineers; a powerful feet an
chored in the bay, and for three weeks
an incessant bombardment was kept up
from eight mortars and 200 pieces Of bat
tering cannon. The garrison made sortie
on November u, 1881, and destroyed
the enemy's works, but the allies soon re-
constructed them and brought 1000
pieces Of artillery to play against the
fortress, an army of 10000 men the
meanwhile besieging it by land, while
forty-seven ships of the line and great
number of smaller vessels menaced it by
sea. Admiral Rodney having succeeded
in throwing relief into the fort by de-
feating the French fleet, the garrison
were greatly encouraged, and, by dis
charging red-hot shot, silenced the
enemy's enormous floating batteries and
burned many of their ships. Nine of
the batteries were set on fire. About
400 of the crews were saved by the exer-
tions of the British, but the rast all per-

ing; afterward the besieged were re-en-
forced, but they had only lost sixteen
men throughout the attack.

Tragic Episode In Georgia Family.

FROM the GAINESVILLE lGa.) Souihron,
Mr.. John Pore, who lives in the lower
part OF Lumpkin county, had two little
children. aged respectively and 6.
They were engaged in their customary
play few days ago, while the mother
was at the we'll. The Oldest child, for
what reason it will never be known,
picked up sharp Ratchet and struck
the baby in the side, leaving the ak
sticking in the wound. The child see
ing what he had done, ran and told his
mother, who was drawing up bucket of
water at the time. This 50 frightened
her that she let go of tile windlass, and
the revolving crank struck the boy on
the head and literally knocked his
brains out, killing him instantly.

A Fragment.

When it became an acknowledged fact
that poor Tom Hood could not rally
again; when his tender physicians had
given him up; when he knew that death
was coming with slow but certain steps,
he wrote the following letter to friend.
1t is so touching and so simple, so express
sive of peace and resignation, thatit may
well be preserved as fragment of his
life:
DEAR MeIa.-God bless you and yours
and good-bye! l drop these few lines,
as in bottle from ship water-logged,
and on the brink of laundering, being in
the last stage of dropsical debility; but
though suffering in body, serene in mind.
So without reversing my Union jack. l
await my last lurch. Till which, be-
lieve me, Yours most truly,

from Halls report, to be O'Renly island ),
on the western side of Adelaide peninsu-
la; and they told Hall that one dead
body was in it. All this evidence proves
beyond doubt that the whole of the sur
vivors left the Erebus and Terror with
the intention of making for the Fish
river by marching around the west coast
OF King William island, that some
dropped by the way, but that others
actually reached Montreal island, in the
mouth Of the river.
But there is evidence that detach-
ment gave up this plan and returned to
the ships. On the 30th of May, 1859,
Sir Leopold McClintock came upon a
large boat resting on siedge with two
skeletons in it and her head pointing
northeast, back to the position of the
ships. The conclusion was inevitable that
the unfortunate explorers had over esti-
mated their strength and had found that
the provisions they had taken with them
could not hold out. Then detachment
must have set ont to return to the ships
for fresh supplies with this boat. Their
strength failing after a time, they must
have abandoned the boat and left the
two men who were unable to proceed.
1t seems clear that this party did reach
the ships, fer every soul left them on
April I'D while the Esquimaux found a
dead body il, the wreck. But they only
found one body, consequently the rest Of
the party must have left the ships again.
!. The question now arises as to whittier
this forlorn party would lave turned its
steps. It is improbable that The men
who had returned would have again set
out upon route the difficulties and
horrors OF which they had already exper-
fenced. Obviously s.s they would have
made fer the nearest known point where
there was the faintest hope of succor.
At that time the nearest point known
