A FAMOUS CAVE.

Wyandotte cave, in Crawford county
Ind, near the Ohio river, is now known
to be next to the famous Mammoth cave,
of Kentucky, in grandeur and extent.
Its length is said, by some, to be twenty
three miles, but more careful estimates
have placed it at considerable less-about
nine or ten miles. The tortuous routes
and difficult passages that must be fol-
lowed in making al exploration, makes
the distance seem greater than it really
m The Il eng eRsgp f5earaGtsr 5 s 4! end
Mammoth, and, like the latter, is great
ly inferior to the well l-known caves III
Virginia in beauty. The older portions
of the Wyandotte were known ever since
the settlement of the surrounding coun-
try. In 1850 an extensive addition was
opened up, and recently another large
chamber has been explored. Openings
are seen, which lead to still other chamb-
ers beyond those already known. The
structure of this immense cavern differs
somewhat from that of other caves. In
stead of the funnel-shaped domes, form
ed by surface drainage, found in the
Mammoth cave, are extensive halls, or
chambers, with arched roofs. and on their
floors are mounds of loose rocks, CORES
ponding in form to the curve of the cell
ing. Some of the apartments are pecu
liarly grand in appearance. The largest
is 1000 feet in circumference, and 245
feet in height, the hill in the centre ris-
ing It's feet above the surrounding level.
Other chambers nearly equal this in ex-
tent, and exceed it in beauty. Among
the notable formations; may be mention
ed stalagmite twenty five feet in diam
eter, and thirty feet in height, and a
group of stalact;tes, forming semicir-
Gle, having the appearance of canopy.
Gypsum, epson salts, and flint in veins,
and nodules, are abundant in many OF
the chambers.

4 REVOLUTIONARY HERO.
BRIEF SKETCH OF JOHN PAUL JONES, THE
FIRST AMERICAN NAVAL. HERO.

John Paul Jones was born in the south
western part OF Scotland, July 6, 1857
His name was John Paul, the Jones hay
ing been added by him in after life
When II years old he was apprenticed to
merchant of Nhitehaven, and sailed on
his first voyage to Virginia. There his
elder brother was established as plant
er. Paul was for a time engaged in the
slave trade, but quilted it in disgust, and
made voyages to the West Indies, which
it is said he made very profitable. He was
| in Virginia when the Revolutionary war
| began, and in December, 1775, entered
the colonial navy as a lieutenant. He,
| III cruise i'll the sloop Providence, of
six weeks duration, made sixteen prizes.
The year following he was made captain,
and in 1776 and 1777 took many prizes,
and broke up the fishing at Cape Bre-
ton. He sailed for Scotland, and made
bold attack on Whitehaven; he tried to
capture the Earl of Selkirk in order to
bring about an exchange of prisoners,
but the Earl was absent and the crew
plundered the house of silver plate
which, however, was afterward restored
to Lady Solkirk by Paul, who purchased
it from the crew. His exploits were con-
tinued, one being the capture Of the
Drake, a sloop-of-war superior to his
Ranger in force. He tried to obtain a
better command, and finally secured the
ship Duras, which name he changed to
Bon Homme Richard, and finally, Aug.
IA, 1779, sailed from Lorient, having an
der his command a squandron of five
ships; he had captured or destroyed by
the middle of September some twenty
six vessels. In the terrific encounter.
September %, of the Bon Homme Rich
ard with the British ship Serapis, the
latter was captured, but the Richard had
to be abandoned, and she soon after
sunk. When Jones arrived in France
with his prize, he was received with great
honor, sword was presented to him by
Louis XVI, and when he came to the
United States in 1881, Congress voted
him a gold medal and Washington ad-
dressed him highly complimentary let
ter. After time he went to Paris, where |
he was invited into the Russian service |
with the rank of rear admiral, but was |
at not receiving the com
mand of the Black Sea feet; he quarrel
ed with the admiral, fell into disfavor at |
court, owing to intrigues; was retired |
from the service, with pension that
elected and in poverty.

CALICO.

Calico is derived from Calcut, town
in India where the cotton cloth was first
made, and strictly speaking is plain cot
ton cloth; after being figured it becomes
prints. Printed calico was probably
known to the Egyptians several thousand
years ago. In India the printing of cal
leo was originally the well known Ban
dianna pattern, and printed on silks as
well as cotton. The manner of making the
little squares and other figures seen upon
these goods was very primitive, and
consisted of tying bits OF cord around
small portions of the cloth before it wa:
put into the dye pot. Then the yellow
or red dye would color all the cloth ex
cept where it was tied by these cords
these latter spaces being left irregulai
and white. This was followed by Ger
tain paste or wax laid upon the clotl
which would resist the dyestuff, thu
saving the spot beneath, so that the wa.
being removed, the white figure wouh
remain.

Laura had shivered once or twice, audi
bly,, though quite involuntarily, for she
was brave little woman. When the
ripple of the young girls laughter rang
out amid the fog, (above the boom of the
surf, the far away barking of the sea
lions on Seal Rock, and the near, yet dis
tant, scream of the fog signal, and when
his own laughter was smothered in the
fog folds, Tom repeated: "But I am hun
CRY, awfully-'
What he might have gone on to say is
forever sealed. The next moment the
boat struck something with great NOM
entum, and that is all Laura remember
ed till she awoke IN the quee. little cabin
Of the Sarah Emma, brigantine, lin bound
from Australia.
A woman's gentle face bent above her
own in anxious, motherly regard, and
Tom sat on locker behind the gangway,
with glad tears in his eyes to see the col
or steal back to her cold cheeks.
"And now you must have bit to eat, y
said the captains wife, in hospitable ac-
cents.
But Laura shut her eyes, half malici-
ously, and murmered: "Give it to him
please, he's always hungry"
"That's what you'll not dare to say
when you become Mrs. Tom," said the
young man, triumphantly; and, as the
matronly figure of the captains wife dis
appeared in the shadow of the gangway,
he kissed her shut eyes softly, and turn
ed away.

From the Rev. ]. r. Hastings a well
known minister of Chicago:
Twelve years ago L became afflicted
with Bleeding Piles, and to such an ex-
tent, that it rendered me incapable of
performing my daily labors. [ called nv
family physician, and, after few visits.
he pronounced Lay case incurable. /
then concluded to try DR.. De la Mont.
who, for many years, had made the treat
ment of Piles a speciality. He treated
me some five weeks; did everything in
his power to effect a cure, and finally
gave me up in dispair. On the 27 Of
June John l. Carson called to see me.
and with him he brought two bottles of
DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, and told me
to try it, as he knew it to be an article
that had performed some marvellous cures.
I tried it, and by the middle of Aug
ust, | considered myself once more free
from Piles. l cannot express my graft
itude for this great medicine, and to the
DR.. Dosanko's Medicine Company, [ am
ever under many obligations.
