O'Clock Tuesday afternoon the work
men engaged in excavating the cellar for
Mr.. Joseph Wetzel's new house on N.
Hanover street put off blast In one of
the large rocks, in the rear of the cellar,
which exploded with dull, smothered
sound but the rock was shivered into
large blocks, SO heavy that the work OF
removing them to the street was post
poned until to-day. After the workmen
had left the place Mr.. Joseph Weibley,
in inspecting the shivered rock detected
draught of air coming through the
crevice and upon closer investigation
with crow-bar discovered that beneath
the riven rock was a large cavity. The
fact was told number of neighbors and
upon visiting the spot and removing the
rocks sufficient was revealed to prompt
one Of the parties to go into the cavity.
AT once he reported the opening of
larger once than his unaided vision
could discern and brought to the sur
face several specimens Of stalagmites
and stalactites. These latter induced
the entire party to explore the opening
thoroughly. In a few moments Messrs.
Joseph Weibley, Charles A. Smith, Jno
S. Humer, VIM. Wetzel and the writer
entered the cavern equipped with Ian
terms. The mouth or entrance of the
cavern proved to be about five feet high
and three feet wide, descending and ex-
panding in few yards to long passage
from seven to ten feet high by about six
feet wide, extending in an easterly di-
rection downward at fall of about an
inch to the foot. At distance of about
fifty feet from the mouth this passage
opened into large circular room about
twelve feet in diameter, with the most
curious rock formations projecting from
the floor, whilst from the roof hung
hundreds of stalagmites from which
trickeled crystal drops of water which
draining to the south side formed pret-
ty streamlet of foot or more wide and
several inches deep. From this room
three openings were discovered leading
in different directions. By common
consent the southern one of these pass
ages was entered and followed fully a
hundred feet when the party suddenly
found themselves in large triangular
room, in the centre of which the little
stream has found miniature lake, in
which, to the surprise of all a large
number of small fish were seen. By the
aid of Watze haudanna three Of the
fishes were captured. They proved to
be eyeless and scaleless of from three to
four inches long, of whitish color with
red fins and tail. From this room two
galleries led south and east, the stream
let passing from the lake by the east
gallery, from which came a perceptible
draft of air. Here the party discovered
they had already spent two hours in the
cave and all were of the opinion that
but small portion of it had been ira
versed. 1t was then decided to return
to the surface and at one o'clock that
noon to meet again equipped with at
least thousand feet of rope, lamps and
lunch to finish the exploration even
should it require days journey under
ground.-C Carlisle Mirror.

The excitement IN regard 10 the electric
light has largely died out, because its pro.
icCtors have not yet accomplished what
was declared possible. The world moves
at such high pressure rate, that delays
are most impatiently received and endured
Already the prestige acquired by EDISON
has partially passed away, because he has
not yet fulfilled his promise Of bringing
electric light to such state of perfection
that it can be used in place of gas.
Revenge is sweet, and people reJoiced
in the prospect OF triumphing over the gas
companies, who have hitherto most relent-
lessly used their power to eXtort cXtraVa-
giant sums wherewith to line their own ra-
pacious pockets. When the time comes
as come it will, Notwithstanding the pres
ent hitch,-th electric light can be used
in dwelling houses, the hour of gas mo-
nopolies will be over, Speed the day when

This means of illumination has thus far
been most successfully employed in facto,
rics and depots. In Europe over 200 lacto'
ries are already lighted in this very way,
and also in New England several
large mills have recently made the eXper'
iment, One great advantage which it has
over gas, is that it renders colors perfectly
dstingushable from each other, Another
is its cheapness. A room 70 feet by 200 has
been brilliantly illuminated by four lights
each of which is equal to the power OF 2,ooc
candles, and its expense but three cents
per hour
Mr. EDISON is confident that he shal
succeed in distributing the light so that i
can be used in small burners A Mr.. BALI
has declared that he HAS done so, and ha
applied for a patent. If this be so, ther

Think Again, I Pray You.

Queen Victoria was not twenty years OF
age when she ascended the throne. Com

fresh, tender and pure, and with all her

III This be Love
De sad when all are CAV;

If to be sad when all are gay;
To think all gone with one way;
To start, to thrill, then back to sink
From expectations Joyous brink;
If a few pen-strokes bring heaven
All the June sunshine had not given;
Ifall expression proved too weak
Till heart to heart and cheek to cheek
Alone sufficed that word to speak
Which set the pent-up passion free,
Brought back the souls tranquility,
And laid the struggling heart at rest,
Dropped like bird into its nest;-
If this be love, as lovers say,
Dear, have loved thee many day.
If to oppose when suffering most
The pain the opposition cost;
To listen with averted face,
Yet yearn to close with an embrace;
To watch, TO smile, TO grieve,
Reproof TO bear, advice receive;
To work, to wait, to pray, TO live,
And TO give all, and still to give:-
If this be love, believe me, dear,
That | have loved thee many year.
And il, amid the vap'rous whirlirg
OF men and things that, upward curlin.
In cloud and mist, come floating by
From the deep gulf of memory,
One face shines out, one form, one powe
One influence quickening every hour,
A speaking profile upward turned,
Or a deep look that through me burned
Ii this be love, love came to me,
And stays, methinks, eternally.

Wives Rights to the Family Purse.


If every man would pay his wife a
weekly sum for housekeeping, clothing,
etc, he would find that in nine cases out
of ten her management of the fund would
increase not only his comfort but that of
the whole house.
If she is equal to the task of being a
wife and mother, she is also equal to
the task Of supplying and paying for the
daily necessities of the home. If she is
head manager she will take pride and
pleasure in making one hundred cents go
great way-much farther than a man
could make one hundred and fifty 90.
She will also make calculations about
the expenditure of the weekly sum: will
lay by certain amount toward buying
such and such supplies in quantities: will
learn that there is no economy in buying
soap by the bar, starch or sugar by the
pound, She will systematic her affairs,
keep her books-a day book and ledger
and exhibit her well-kept accounts with
pride and delight.
The very fact that the expenditure Of
the money belongs to her will sweeten
her life, give new zest to her occupations
and make her happy and more contented
wife. To most women the idea of asking
for money is abhorrent. They put it off
from day to day, the dread of it is SO
great. They will wear expensive clothes
in the kitchen rather than ask for the
money needlul for the purchase of plain
calico dress. The subject of money sup
plies in the home opens a wide field of

The Grand Canal Of China.

For GOO or 500 years, the Grand canal
crossing the great plain of the northern
China, from Pekin, in the north, TO Hang
chow, in the south, has been the chief line
of communication and commerce between
the capital and southern portions of the
Chinese empire. The canal proper is over
GOO miles long, and with its branches, is
said to supply 1000 miles of water way,
and the means for irrigating and reclaim
ing many thousand square miles of thickly
peopled country. During recent years,
however, the vast sums appropriated for
the management and repair of the Grand
canal have been so largely absorbed by
dishonest officials that the canal has be-
come practically unfit for commerce in
many parts, while the estimated cost of
putting it in good condition is so hopeless
ly beyond the capacity of an empire i'm
poverished by war, famine and official ra
pacity that the imperial Government are
seriously considering the propriety OF a.
bandoning the canal entirely. For the
first time since the canal was built the
food supplies from the south for the sup
port of the capital land for the relief Of the
famished- stricken regions to the north and
west) have this year been forwarded by
sea--a much speeder and more econom-
ical route no doubt; still, for the great
plain and its millions of inhabitants, the
canal is practical necessity, and to let it
go to further destruction, will seriously
endanger their prosperity if not their
lives.
