The Largest Cave on Earth
[Grayson LKyA Adyocnto.l


The great cave lately discovered here
has been visited by Il multitude Of people
from various points Of the United States.
We think that Lcitchlield Is destined to
become the great mecca" Of the world
for the Masonic fraternity and scientists
generally.
For the last two weeks no one has been
admitted to the cave except upon pre-
scutlug Il written permit from Mr.. Rog.
Crs, and those who have bCcn fortunate
enough to obtain permission have been
principally scientists from abroad, who
iOurncycd here to see the great wonder
for themselves, II was necessary to take
this step, ms the cave was rapidly being
dcspoilpd Of its contents.
Indeed, several Of the mummlcs and
some Of the smaller Masonic cmblcms
were carried Off before Mr. ROgrrs-or,
IN fact any Of our Ciiilcns-rcalizod the
Importance Of the discovery, aud Of pre-
serving the contents of the cave intact
The sUblerrHncan river has been sOsWOl-
len from the excessive rains Of the last
month that no explorations have been
made IN the avenues beyond IL. EXCa-
yatlOns have been made, however, in the
chambers or CataCOmhs whore the Num-
mics and Masonic Cmblcms were lounu,
and IN the vicinity of the pyramid, and
several tablets with queer hcroglyphics
have been dug up, also some bronze and
copper vases, and pieces Of pottery. a
mound was opened and found TO contain
six well preserved mummips, rpposing In
regular order with feet Wdlnting from
the center.
In the discovery of this cave the key
Is undoubtedly found chat will unlock
the mystery Of the prehistoric race Of
America, aud also prove their identity
with the ancient Egyptian race, who un-
dpubtcdly crossed over aud ppoplcd thi.
continent. built temples, and llourishcd
int high degree Of civilization until wip-
rd ont Of existence by the ruthless hand
of the savage, The caves OF Kentucky
undoubtedly afforded them shelter and
protection, and were used ~ sort ol
ralncOlnb for the storage Of all that was
near nnd dear to them, including their
iluslrlous dead. Such Ht least seems to
have been the case IN this instance,
whether this theory will apply to the
other caves Of Kentucky or not.
Many beautiful formations have been
discovered IN The Inst week. The slalnr.
tlrs aud slnlagmites glistcn like 80 many
million diamonds. The pillars and col.
unns of nlahnstcr are beautiful beyond
description, aud ils wonders will have tC
be seen to be fully appreciated.

THE HAUNTED CAR,
In Which a Dead Man Got Up
Out of His Coffin and Vanished.

Wells, Fargo q cos express car No. j
is said to be haunted. The messengers
on the run between San Francisco and
Ogden have been exercised over the fact
lccsGdpc timG, 2Nl when the ear was sent
to Sacramento several weeks ago to be
OvcrIlauled and repaired they all express
ed much satisfaction, and were firm in
the belief that the Car-builder would klll
the ghost and return the ear to the rail
free from all demOralizing influence. In
this they were disappointed, for the mes
Senger who left San Francisco Tuesday
night was visited by the unseen power
and put to Il deal of trouble. The ghost
came in and tlmbled the boxes of freight
about, and tollcd bells and made sweet
music, and called the messenger by name.
The last trip the car mHdc before 1t was
taken from the track the messenger heard
strange noises on the roof. His thoughts
were on his duty and he came to the con-
Clusion that robbers were waiting an OPP
pOnunily for entering the car. He Cau-
liOusly opened the door and took look
at both ends, but found everything quiet.
He could see nothing unusual and return
ed, closed the door and was walking bacl,
to the mailing table, when down came
box Of cooked Shrimps and Il band box
The freight was rantCd about and finally
left in the same place. The mysterious
din was indulgcd in until the train was
nearing Terrace Station, in the eastern
part OF the State, and the messenger had
about made up his mind to take to the
sagcbrUsh, when all was still again.
On one occasion when they had Il corpse
in transit, the head and trunk of n mans
body was seen to rise up from the caskct,
take good look around the ear, calling
the mcssengcrhy name, aud then vanish.
The ear was in the train several years
ago when an accident occurred Just west
of Truckcc, killing Conductor Marshall
aud an express messenger, and since that
time these mysterious noises have been
frequent, much to the discontinue of
the occupants, The express boys say
ear No. j is known to all the comDany's
employees, and they all tell the same
story for the trth.-RcRo Gazette.

ALL THE WORLD.

All the world is full of children,
Laughing over little joys,
Signing over little troubles,
Fingers bruised and broken toys,
Wishing to be older, larger,
Weeping ut some fancicd woe;
Oh, the happy, hapless children!
Still they come and still they go.
All the world is full of lovers,
Walking slowly, whispering sweet,
Dreaming dreams, and building castle
That must crumblc at their feet;
Breaking VOWS and burning letters,
Smiling lest the world shall know!
o, the foolish, trusting lovers!
Still they come, and still they 90.
All the world is full of people.
Hurrying, rushing, pushing by,
Bearing burdens, carrying crosses,
Passing onward with n sigh;

But with heavy hearts below;
o, the sad-eyed burdened people!
Still they come and still they go.

the prospects were that the river would

DIR. Dean aud Luke Willis are preparing
to supply want long felt in this place and

social dance in honor of their guest Thurs
day night, which was participated in by a
merry company of select friends. No more
enjoyable party has ever been given in our

also added much to the pleasure of an occa-

Refreshments are such as are always expect

Mr.. and Mrs. Daugherty.

Herewith was attested in their prompt and
