What they claim to have seen is thus
described:
PREHISTORIC. sHIPBUILDISG.
The cave.seemed at first empty; bat as
their eyes gradually became accustomed
to theIdeep gloom the men saw in the fur b.
er extremity huge black object, which,
not without some trepidatiOn, they ap-
preached AS they neared it, to their I'M
bounded alnazement, they made out the
as nearly as they could judge, about 60
feet long by some 81 feet wide, and lay
tilted forward at an angle of about ff-
teen degrees over a rough pile of stone.
The body of the craft was built of short
lengths of some dark and very porous wood
resembling our black walnut if it could be
imagined with the grain pulled apart like
sponge or piece of bread. and made
perfectly square. Both ends (it was eV~
IDENTIFY intended for sailing either was)
where turned abruptly up like the toe of
q peaked Moorish slipper. The planking
was appareatly double-riveted on with nails
of extremely hard copper only slightly
rust eaten, and with the heads cut or fled
in an octagonal sharp, while along the
upper edge of the same metal, and evident
~ for the securing of rigging, were count
ed. At the bottom of the craft, and run
ming its entire length, were two keels some
four and half feet deep and six inches
thick, hung on metallic hinges, and at the
ends were fastened rough copper rods,
extending upward and bent lover so as to
attach two masts rising from the upper
edges. If the cross Of this inverted letter
Y be conceived to represent the deck lines,
the two stems are at about the angle and
position of the masts. These were upward
of twenty feet long; and, as evidence that
a sail was at one time stretched across,
some ragged remnants of what appeared
to be cOrding were found clingIng to the
inner edges The ends of the masts were
secured in pivots, ard 1t was evident thst
lacking one could be moved fOrdWard and
the other back, thus bringing the sails at
an angle with the body of the shlp-an idea
which it might not be bad for our modern
navigators to emulate. This, it is believed,
also explains the copper rods which moved
the keels sOas to reciprocate theposltlon OF
the masts. While the whole ship was
intact, the wood cTumbled like dust be-
meath the finger touch and fearful OF trap
falls, the two projectors did no venture
to explore the interior. Lying ont the
ground near by however was discovered
a gold instrument bearing a rude resem-
blance to the sextant of the present day, and
probably used to calculate the longitude,
No trace of any writing was found save at
one end of the ship, inclosed IN metal
ring, were twenty. six copper characters
riveted to the wood and tearing much re-
semblance to the Chinese hierog yhics OF
the present day. No human remains OF
any sort were found, although it is po--
sble that search in the hold will reveal
something of this SOFT.

BEADING Railroad Company of which it was an
adjunct did the same thing. In the magnitude of

The DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT at
Temperance Hall last Thursday night
was the occasion of crowded house.
The celebrated two-act temperance
drama, "The Bottle" was admirably
rendered by corps Of amateur per-
formers, and will be repeated tonight.
These entertainments are given under
the auspices of the Ladies Aid Asso-
citation, for the benefit of the First
Baptist Church of Lake Charles, whose
handsome church edifce is now in
course of erection. The money realized
in this way is wholly expended here at
home, and for good purpose, aud we
are gratified to see the public manifest
ing so liberal an appreciation of the
laudable efforts of the Ladies' Aid AS
ISOLATION. The gross receipts Thurs
day night were $685., and we have
no doubt the repetition of the per-
Torrance tonight will be greeted with
a full house.

FROM THE WE,1.6lled oa;+o,.;,

FROM THE WELL-illed editorial col
umns OF the Shreveport Weekly Stand.
ard, of the 25th ult., we learn that
Prot. Basil Manly committed suicide
at heachi last week. He was head of
the male department of Keachi college,
and was greatly esteemed. The suicide
is attributed to temporary insanity.
The same paper mentions the killing
OF Tom Dansley by Henry Monroe, in
the eighth ward of Caddo parish, both
parties colored. Monroe gave dozen
eggs to woman to cook for him.
While he was away for a few moments
Dansley went to the woman, told her
Monroe had sent him for the eggs, and
getting them from her devoured them.
A quarrel arose between the two men
and Dansley went of and got gun
and way..laid the road by which Mon
roe passed to go home. Monroe was
informed of this, and also got gun.
When Monroe was passing by, Dansley
snapped cap at him, and Monroe fired,
killing Dansley. Monroe was arrested.
The Standard also mentions the ar
rest of VIM. G.. Tanner, who, while I'M
der arrest for an assault on John Rob
ertson, and being frenzied by liquor, |
drew his pistol on an unarmed police
man who had him in custody, and then |
eyelled it at deputy sheriff who al
tempted to assist the policeman. An
other policeman came up and handed
ais pistol to the deputy sheriff. Tanner
hen ran, turning and firing at the pur-
'uing deputy, who returned the fire,
our shots being exchanged without
injury. While Tanner was reloading
lis pistol the deputy sheriff, at the
nuzzle of his revolver, compelled Tan
Ter to surrender.
