A RIVAL TO THE MAMMOTH
CAVE.
FOURTEEN MILES INTO THE BOW
ELS OF TUE EARTH.

A letter from Litchfeld, KY, dated
December 7, to tho Chicago hitter Ocean
says:
There was discovered on Thursday last
on tho farm Of Evan Rogers, about Que
mile from the postoflioe of this town, o
cave that bids fair to.fiYal, if not surpuss
tho world renowned Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky. Back Of Mr.. Rogers house
stands a high hill, in which there arc sove-
raj small caves, ono of them being used by
the faulty as cellar. Mr. Rogers desir-
ing additional room conceived the idea of
blasting out some of the rock iu tho rear.
In doing 30 he struck a vast opening, which
was only separated from tho former cave by
very thin wall of alabaster rock, covered
with calcareous formation, aud he vas
greatly astoaishcd to find boforo him on
inmense cave with avenues ut least 100 feet
wide. Saddling his horse, he rushed iuto
town and communicated tho news of this
great discovery to tho aston;shed citizens.
Torches were at once prepared, and no
started back to explore tho great mysteries
OF that wonderful oavo, accompanied by
we'll known business men and county
officers. Entering the cave they we're ut
once greatly Impressed with it's grandeur
For three long hours they explored its spa
cious avenues amidst its wonderful forma-
tions without meeting barrier to their
progress, until they came to wide deep
river, which they found contained vast
schools of cyelcss fish and other sightless
wonders Of the marine world. They re-
traced their steps, Determined upon COM
plete exploration Of tho cave tho following
day.
The following day much larger party
entered the cave, accompanied by
Surveyor John Il. Stone, who took an ac.
curatc measurement of the distance they
travorscd. They camo to what seemed to
be tho end OF the main avenue, after tray .
cling distance Of fourteen miles, and it
was near midnight before they reached their
homes. The river they discovered is wide,
long and deep enough to admit the passage
of one of the smaller class of our Western
steamboats,. Beautiful stalactitos glstening
like great diamonds are pendant from above,
wnlle ponderous staiaguIilea ahd plliurs Ol
alabaster rear Themselves like so many
beautiful monuments below. A pyramid
an exact fac simile of tho great pyramid OF
Egypt was found in one Of the chumbc
together with Masonic altar and other
Masonic emblems-also number of well
preserved mummies, which were reposiug iu
stone collins, which were evidently con-
structed By great sculptor, as they are
fno specimens Of tho souIp.or's art, and
covered with beautiful Masonic emblems.
There are evidences on all sides that the
cavo was the abode of prehistoric race,
and that that race was identified with tho
ancient Egyptian races, ns can now be
proved by the light which is given US in
this very important discovery. Joseph
Mulhattan, geoloeist aud scientist, from
Louisville, Kentucky, has visited the cave
and sccured several mummies and other
specimens, but the pyramid and remaining
wonders will remain uotouohed to be gazed
upon by wondering world.

The Newspaper as a Teacher.

Rov. DR.. Bellows, in his Thanksgiving
sermon, sold the newspaper uniyer sal
literature of the peope-is itself becoming
a library of knowledge and art. No man
could read habitually even ono of our chief
newspapers without ab immense opening of
his horizon Of thought, great quickeuing
of his intellect and substantial relation
with tho thought and feeling of the whole
world. The difference between a man who
can read well enough to enjoy his news
paper and the one who cannot is hardly to
be estimated. suppose our newspaper
education is the most Influential Of oil in
this country. But it depends fer its exis-
tence aud its improvement on the prepnra-
ton for its uso and enjoyment made in
our common schools. 1t rises in tone,
spreads in intellectual breadth md in
orcases in moral purity as the reading Glass
becomes more numerous and varied. 1t is
great mistake to speak lightly of news
papers. The press, think, has somewhat
romantic and exaggerated idea of its su-
premaoy 10 creating or leading public opin--
lou, but in its general educating influence,
its stimulus for thought, it has certain
tendency to create tasto for better read
ing than it can itself supply. do not be-
lieve it is easy to overrate its national ims
portance. Our schools arc improving and
they havo made considerable progress within
the last generation, chiefly iu the attention
which has been given to teaching as an art.
1t has been found out that teaching is an
art and must be mado profession, and that
great economy of time and money is
secured by croatiDg schools for teachers.
What has been thus discovered in regard
to secular teaching will ultimately have to
be learned in regard to religious teaching.
Indeed, laundering attempts in this diteo-
tion already very largely exist; but as they
are usually based upon erroneous or miss
taken ideas Of religion, they lack tho
highest advantages of definite instruction.
The aim at system is good, but tho system
applied is usually poor. We shall havo to
sufTor for long time, in both secular and
religious eduoation in this country, the
consequences of the necessary iusurrection
made here against tho oppressivsness Of
scholastic and classical training.
