The Value of Oppo sition.

When we find the Courier-Journal running
along smoothly, everybody praising it and no.
body abusing. we straightway begin to diStrust
We feel II Is either dishonest or weak. But when
every Inall brings IN swearing letters, and when
halfa dozen newspapers are denouncing us for
everything that is vicious from murder to steal
ing, then We know the CourierJournal Is all
rignt, that II Is doing good effective work and
the smiles of conscience chase the beams of salts
faction up and down its fat frolicsome columns
Louisville Courier Journal.
Here Is the true conception of the
journalists life and labors. If news
paper is doing any good and subscribing
any useful purpose in the world it is
stirring somebody up. The newspaper
that gets along without antagonizing
anybody or anything has no excuse
for existence. A newspaper that does
not fight the evil that it finds can
render no efficient service in the cause
of right
This is true not only of newspapers
but of men, not only of editors but OF
individuals in every walk of life. There
never lived a man who amounted to
a row Of pins" who was not abused and
villihed by little souled fellows who
became disturbed on account of his
doings. That a man gets along
through the world without arousing
any opposition to making any enemies
is certain evidence that he is no kind
of benefit to the world.
This is especially true of men who
deal in ideas. The minister when he
breaches a sermon that doesn't sting
some one in his audience Iabors in
vain. The editor who issues a paper
that doesn't contain something to stir
up the bile of some of his readers may
rest assured that his work has all been
for naught. The greatest men of this
earth have been those who have met
with the strongest opposition. The
men who never oppose anything and
are never opposed by anybody are
mere nobodies.
Three is, therefore, some satisfaction
in meeting with opposition, in being
abused and cursed. Opposition and
abuse may not prove that one is in the
right, but to escape opposition and
abuse Is positive evidence that one is
accomplishing no good, which amounts
to about the same as doing wrong.

Artesian Wells for Railroad
" ater Supply.

Years ago it was suggested that
artesian wells might be found avail
able in solving the problem of water
supply for railroads. Efforts have been
made to secure an appropriation from
Congress to try experiments in this
direction, and at the last session such
an appropriation was obtained To
carry out the intention embodied in
this appropriation Commissioner Lor-
ing, has requested Professor c. A.
White, of Greeley, Col, and Professor
Samuel Aughey, of Lincoln, Neb., to
act as commission for the selection of
a site for sinking experimental artesian
wells in the arid region. The follow
ing letter, addressed to Professor White
on July 26, explains the intentions of
the commissioner in detail
At the last session of Congress an appro.
priation was made for the reclamation of
arid and waste lands lying in certain West
ern States and Territories. In order that
this work may be effectively and economi-
cally done. desire that the territory to be
benefited by the act shall be defined, and
the proper location of the artesian wells
should be pointed out By a scientific sur
vey and exploration. 1t is suggested that
the site Of the wells should be on the east
ern slope of the Rocky Mountains as mark
ed on the map, and near enough to obtain
the advantages OF the dip in structure, and
sufficiently far away, OF course, TO avoid
faults and displacements 10y fracture. He
thinks it probable that the water will be
found in glacial and other quarternary de-
posits, and in tertiary deposits Of the coun-
try. His reasons for selecting this area are
these: First, it is the area of large
of stock raising, in which a water
supply on TIE broad area lying between
streams is imperatiyely necessary. Again.
in this area the structure is more homogene
ods than in any other portion ofthe United
States, SO that what IS determined in this
area would be Of wide value, while what
could be determined in any other portion
of the United State would only have local !
value. This area marked out by Professor
Powell is the northern boundary of the
United States between the l0lst and 1l3 |
degrees Of longitude. Its eartern boundary
is the l0lst longitudinal line from the
northern boundary to the Rio Grande river |
The western border follows the eastern
border line to the Rocky Mountains, strik
ing southeasterly from the northern bound |
airy line to the intersection of the l05th |
line with the forty-third line |
of north latitude, and thence south to the |
Rio Grande. The Rio Grand forms the |
southern boundary. The area comprises !
the western portions of Dakota, Nebraska, |
a small strip of Western Kansas, the east
ern portions ofMontana, Wyoming, Colorado |
and New Mexico, and about one-third of !

American Newspapers in 1882.

The American Newspaper Direct
ory, which will be issued next month
by Geo. Rowell & Co., of New York,
will contain the names of 1861 per-
iodicals in the United States and Ter
ritories, which is a gain of 344 III the
year just passed. The number of dai-
ly papers has increased in a somewhat
larger proportion, and is now repre-
sented by total of 996 against 921 in
1881. The largest increase has been in
New 1ork-10 dailies, 20 of all sorts.
Illinois and Missouri show a precent-
age Of gain which is even greater,
while Colorado leads all Others in the
PERCENTAGE of increase, both of daily
and weekly issues. California, Nebras-
ka, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Vermont, and West Vir-
ginia have fallen behind 1881 in the
total number of periodicals issued. In
Georgia, Main and Massachusetts, the
suspensions have exactly counterbal-
anced the new ventures. In every

matter is resolved into one of dollars

Improved Cattle Cars on the
Northern Pacific.

General Haupt concluded a contract
with the Palace Cattle Car Company,
Of Cincinnati, for stocking the Northern
Pacific road with this company's cars.
The inducements to the railroad COM
pany were in the belief, based on the
recent successful experiments over its
line, that these cars have been great
advantages, whether regarded from
either or both the humane business
points Of view. The claims are that
cattle may be kept on these cars a
weeks or even months, without unload
ing, for they can lie down and rest and
can be fed and watered as regularly
and substantially as though they were
tied In barn. There is no shrinkage
In weight and it is estimated the cattle
will average SO head more in selling
value than if brought to market in
ordinary cars. The contract, which
runs for five years, obliges the COM
pany to increase the number of cars
from time to time, as required by the
business of the road, and it is expected
enough will be supplied for making the
long hauls of cattle from the Yellow
stone this season. Negotiations of the
railroad company, concluded and pend
ing, with cattle men of Montana, give
assurance that the stock hauling busi--
ness of the road will be 80 per cent
larger this year than last.

Little Willie was in Vermont at his
ants with his mamma on summer
visit. One day his aunt gave him a
cake of maple sugar. ''It Is not so
good as when it was new," she said,
"but you will take it, I'm sure !"
Willie wondered, as he mbbled the
delicious morsel, how it could have
been any better. The first time he
and his mother were alone he remark
ed, "Say, mamma, the next time We
come here, let's come when maple
sugar is ripe.

Chicago, 10.-A Washington special
says the Indications are that even st this
late hour General Rosecrans is to be SUI
peFseded in the management of the DEM
ocrstic congressional campaign, which is
to be turned over TO Roswell P. Flower,
IF New York, who made contest with
Rosecrsns for the Craftsmanship of the
congressional committee. Flower was
not accepted as chairman by mis- col
Leagues of the committee, because of his
views on finance ard his advocacy Of the
national banking system and RosecrAns
was elected ON the representative western
democrat idea. Flowers friends being
much chsRrined at his defeat fer the
cbsirmanship of the committee of the
house, nave, it is said, succeeded in for
mulating plan by which Rosecrans is to
have the barrenshonor Of the chairman
ship, while the management will be all
in the hands of Flower. 10 this end
they will make Rosecrans chairman of
the Joint executive committees of the
Senate snd House, and appoint a mar
aging or financial com mittee, of which
Flower will be made chairman, and
which will consist OF Flower, Rosecrans
and Cobb, on the part ofthe House,
Davis. Of West Virginia. and German,
of Maryland, on the part of the Senate
and four prominent outsiders not yet
namei. This programme would have
been carried out last week but for the
fact tnat one of the mem bers of the COM
mittee was suddenly called away by the
death Of q brother, which caused a post
ponement. The only thing in the way Of
the arrangement is said 10 be the disin-
clination of Flown to sssume the respon-
sibility; but this, it is said, will be over
come by making Representative Thomp-
aon, of Kentucky secretary of the con-
gressional committee, with the under
standing that he will share the work With

TuE LARGEST CAVE OK EARTH.

The great cave lately discovered here has
been visited bya multitude Of people from
various points of the United States. We
think that Leitchfeld is destined TO become
the great Mecca" Of the world--for the
Masonic fraternity and scientists gener-
ally.
For the last two weeks no one has been
admitted to the cave except upon presenting
q written permit from Mr., Rogers, and
those who have been fortunate enough to
obtain admission have been principally
scientists from abroad, who iourneyed here
to see the great wonder for themselves. IL
was necessary to take this step, as the cave
was rapidly being despoiled of its contents
Indeed, several of the mummies and some
Of the smaller Masonic emblems were cRr-
ried off before Mr.. Rogers-or in fact any
of our citizens-realized the Importance of
the discovery and of preserving the con-
tents of the cave intact. The subteranean
river has been so swollen from the excess
sive rains of the past month that no explora-
tions have been made in the avenues be
| yond it. Excavations have been made,
however, in the chambers or catacombs
where the mummies and Masonic emblems
were found, and in the vicinity of the pyra-
mid, and several tablets with queer hero
glyphics have been dug up, also some
bronze and copper vases and pieces of pot
terry. mound was opened and found to
contain six well-preserved mummies, re-
| posing i'll regular order with feet iadiating
from the centre.
In the discovery of this cave, the key is
undoubtedly found that will unlock The
mystery of the prehistoric race of America,
and also prove their identity with the an.
cient Egyptian race, who undoubtedly
crossed over and peoplcd this continent,
built temples, and hourished in a high de-
| gree of civilization until wiped out of exist
ence by the ruthless hand Of the savage.
The caves of Kentucky undoubtedly afforded
them shelter and protection, and were used
as a sort of catacomb Tor the storage of all
that was near and dear to them, including
their illustrious dead, Such at 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 dis
covered during the last week The stalac-
tites and stalagmites glisten like so many
million diamonds. The pillars and coll
umns of ulabaster are beautiful beyond
description, and its wonders will have TO bo
seen to be fully appreciated I GHyson Id
