Kentucky Caves.

~ hcCcut cAplOEdtlOu VI SEVERAL waves Ill
Kentucky have resulted IN the discovery
of important and interesting relics of abo-
riginal life and concluslvely established
the fact that they were used at least as
temporary residences or places of shelter.
Salt cave, especially, reveals a new phase
of American arci zoology. This cave ap-
proaches the mammoth cave in the size Of
its avenues and chambers. Throughout
one of the principal passages, for several
miles. were to be traced ancient fireplaces
both for hearths and lights. The former
were indicated by circular arrangements
Of fiat stones and the presence of ashes,
charcoal and caIcined bones; for the lat
ter purpose small piles of stones had been
made with hole in the center of the pile
to receive the bundle of dried fagots, per-
haps smeared with grease, which were to
be lighted.
Bundles of these faggots, tied up with
twisted bark, were found in several places
in the cave; and cane reeds, probably of
the same character as those found in the
Mammoth. Short and Grand avenue caves
we've also very abundant. Penetrating
three miles from the estrance into Salt
cave, chamber was entered where the
dust Of unn umbered years lay thick upon
the rocky floor. Here no human bones
were found; there is every indication that

warrants the opinion that this was an ag-

CHAMBER SOhNE.

She arose from her untroubled sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper breathed prayer
Her snow-white hands 'gether pressed,
Her blue eyes she tered in The lid.
The folded linen on h rb.a>t
just swell ing with the charms it hid;
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare d slende foot,
Whose shape upon the earth did press
Like new snowflake, white and mute"
And there from slumber, pure and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed h.r slight and graceful form,
And humbly prayed to BIT forgiven.
O, God! if souls unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne
II she upon her Bonded knees
Our lOveliest and our purest one
She, with face so clear and bright
We deem her some stray child Of light
If she, with those soft eyes OF tears,
Day after day in her first years.
Must kneel and pray for 6, ace frpm thee
What lar, far deeper need have we?
How hardly, il she win not heaven.
Will our wild errors be TO gwen!

[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD

LONDON, Jan. 10. 1879
There has been but little abatement Of
the storm during the past twenty-four
hours; in fact, it is very hard to tell whether
it has increased or not, SO numerous are the
reports coming in, all stating that the gales
continue. To-day's report from Aberdeen
says that snow began to fall at midnight
and has continued ever since. At short in
tervals fierce southeasterly gale springs
up which threatens to demolish everything
that lies in its way.
FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF VESSELS.
The sea is tremendously high along the
coasts, and there is growing fear that
many disasters will be found to have oc-
CURED after the tempest subsidies. There
is total suspension of communica-
ton by rail between Aberdeen and
the north on account Of the heavy snow
drifts piled up by the fierce winds.
HEAVY SNOW STORMS.
At Dundee there have been very heavy
snow and sleet showers, accompanied by o
strong southeasterly gale. The snow drifts
are the largest that have been seen in many
years. Communication has been entirely
cut off between the mainland and Lewis,
the rough sea, together with the heavy
gales and binding snow, rendering it i'm
possible for the boats to run.
RIVER TRAVEL SUSPENDED.
On the Thames travel had TO be entirely
suspended. The ice is coming down the
river in such quantities as to render navi-
cation perilous. The Sciliy report states
that heavy gale from the southeast has
continued during the night, accompanied
by snow. There is not the slightest sign of
an improvement; on the contrary, the
barometer is still falling, although it now
marks %. 20 inches. At Crookhaven o fear
full storm ragged from three o'clock yester-
day morning, the wind increasing at inter-
walls to hurricane force.
