Mammoth Cave.

Ones general idea of a ave is that
OF an open space under ground, or in a
mountain side. Mammoth Cave is
made up of passages, avenues and
tortuOus crooks, rather than of vast
open spaces. You can take the short
route (seven miles), to be done in two
hours, the long sixteen miles,, to be
done in four, or the combined, 10 be
done in from five to twelve or more
We chose the combined. There are
avenues down which one could drive
a coach and four if fairly cleared up
on the floor. There are places that
are mere cracks, justly named "fat

ment" and eorkscreWs." Here Is the

Here and there amid these long

CHASING BEARS INTO CAVES.
Bold Hunters who Ran Great
Risks, Hat Came Out with
Whole Hides.
uvAldo Hesperian.l

UvAlde Heaperianl
Bear hunts are still the order Of the
day in Nueces Canyon, Texas. A par
" was out in the mountains the other
day and saw a bear enter cave. They
at once followed, and, not liking to
enter rashly, stopped up the mouth Of
the cave and sent for Bill Wells, one
of the most fearless and daring men in
the canyon, and famous as a bear
hunter. The prospect of his favorite
sport soon brought the hunter to the
spot, and as o as he could equip
himself and light his torch he pro-
ceeded to explore the retreat Of
his game. Having entered the
cavern, he was passing slowly
under a ledge or shelf of rock
on the side when he was surprised to
feel the torch suddenly struck from
his hand. CHANGING suddenly upward
he saw that the bear had been calmly
watching his progress from the ledge.
That was the poor fellows last joke,
however, for the next moment a shot
rang through the silent cave and
bruin passed in his checks.
Dave Baker was out hunting and
his dogs started a large bear, and after
a considerable chase ran the animal
into a cave. The hunter followed the
hot pursuit, and was a little discon-
certed at the very entrance when a
blow from a tremendous black paw
knocked the gun out of his hand.
That was leaving him in a bid pre-
dicament-within arms length of a
montrons animal at bay and entirely
at its mercy. Fortunately the dogs
came up at the instant and attacked
the bear. This gave Baker time to
receiver his gun and kill the animal,
not, however, soon enough to save the
life Of one of his dogs, which fell a
victim to the fury OF the beast.

A Congres.nan,. Work.
New York Herald

One Of our contemporaries prints a
pitiful dispatch from Washington,
showing the burdens that devolve
upon the modern Congressman. The
accepted theory is that when a man
goes to Congress his duty is to study
out the wants of the pei pie and legis-
late with wisdom. 1t ppears, how
ever, that a Congressman, on the con-
trary, is little more than a slave
a very beast of burden. His con-
stituents send him to Washington
only as a special agent to hunt offices
in the Treasury, look out for promo
tons, beg for Consulates, send seed to
the farmers and official documents to
the business men, look after private
interests in questions of tariff or tax
alton, see that the sons of his princi-
pal supporters are made cadets in
Annapolis or West Point, and secure
the pardon from Jail of any uufortu-
nate politician who may have had too
much interest in the whisky tax and
fallen under the displeasure of the
law.
So long as patronage is a matter Of
favor and to be obtained by solicitation
or pressure this evil will exist. Few
men enter into politics as a profession
without having in mind Office for them
selves and all the available members
of their families. When we consid-
er the obligation which almost every
Congressman accepts under the pres
ent practical system in making a
campaign-the number of persons in
our large districts to whom he comes
under obligations-we can compre-
bend the extent and cruelty of this
pressure.
OF course it can be avoided by de-
%clining to run for Congress; but that
is not patriotic in a republic whsre
the people have an undOubted right
to claim the services of any mar
whom they deem worthy to serve them
in the National Legislature. The
best remedy is TO press on the cause
Of civil service reform until the whole
public patronage is based upon rules
and laws and a Congressman has no
more power to remove or appoint Of
6cialS than a member of Parliament.
Civil service reform would be of
great advantage to the people at large,
but to none so much as the men
chosen to serve the public welfare,
and who, as matters now stand, in
stead Of becoming statesmen, are
merely hewers Of wood and drawers
of water for a greedy mob of Office
beggars.

Patti AwfuIIy Pleased.

Rumors have been ia circulation
recently that Madame Patti has been
sadly disappointed in her American
tour; that he- musical notes have not
turned into bank notes as readily as
she anticipated, and that she was
sick and disguised" with the United
States generally. 1t was further
stated hat her cold at Cincinnati last
week was not as bad as it was said TO

New York engagement.
A Tribune reporter called upon
Mr. Abbey at the Park Theater, and
questioned him as to the truth of these
rumors. There is not a word OF

OF It went to England, where ship
ments of cotton, provisions and bread

If anybody should change or check
the balance in our favor in European
trade our commercial exchanges with
Spanish America would drain US of
our reserve of gold coin at a rate ex-
ceeding 500, 0OO,0 900 per annum, and
would probably precipitate a suspen-
sion Of specie payment in this country.
Such a result at home might be worse
than q little Jealousy and ill-will''

that the holding of a peace congress
will necessarily change the currents of
trade, but it will bring us into kindly
relations with all the American ma
tions; it will promote the rain Of peace
and law and order; it will increase
production and consumption; and will
stimulate the demand for articles
which American manufacturers can
furnish with profit. 1t will at all
events be a friendly and suspicious
beginning in the direction of American
influence and American trade in a large
field which we have hitherto greatly
neglected and which has been practi-
cally monopolized by our commercial
rivals in Europe.
