MINERAL WELLS, June Especial. j
A party consisting OF G. M. Hobbs, of
Forney; b. S. Burton of Bonham, Vic
Reinhart, noted temperance apostle;
Judge Green and Judge Lester, of Sher-
man, and Chicago newspaper man, while
reconnoitering in the Black Jack Mountain
few miles north of this place, discovered
an immense cave, which, upon further in
vestigation, was found to contain water.
The party returned to town and procured
boat, torch and other necessaries,
and to-day repaired to the cave,
and extended their exploration, when
they discovered in the cave an underground
lake of very large proportions, the depth
ranging from twenty-five to fifty feet. The
water is clear as a crystal and cool. Many
fishes of varied hues and different species,
none of which had eyes, being found, be-
sides kind of Lizard, or devil fish, with
many legs, which most resembled bunch
of grass, but, upon touching it, it would ex-
pand its numerous legs and envelope the
object touched. They then proceeded to
another chamber which was thickly hung
with beautiful stalactltes. The parties are
contemplating a scheme, of which there is
no publicity. They refuse further informa.
ton and are very reticent as to their future
proceedings, but it is thought they will
buy the property and institute more
thorough investigation.

NIT Lord Wolseley and Baron Alcester's
annuity bills for the purpose Of committing

OUR EXCHANGES,

The effect of the invitations sent out
by the car to foreign potentates to at
tend his coronation has been painful, but
In the circumstances not in the least
strange. The German emperor was i'm
mediately taken i'll and will not recover
in time to attend the coronation. The
queen of England with great presence of
mind, fell upstairs and the condition of
her knee will of course keep her at
home. The emperor of Austria waited a
fortnight or so and then had an attack
OF some mysterious malady which will
compel him to, spend the summer at
Carlsbad in order to use the mineral
waters AS for the king of Ashantee, no
sooner did he receive the czar's invita-
ton than, with the impulsiveness of the
coIored race, he resigned his crown and
concealed himself in the depths of a
Jungle. Fortunately for the monarchs of
Italy, Spain, Portugal, they are Roman
Catholics, and hence were able to de-
cline the invitation on the ground that
their conscience would not permit them
to assist at religious ceremony conduct
ed by the chief dignitary of the schis-
matte Greek church. Much as the car
must regret the inability of his brother
monarchs to attend his coronation, he
may console himself by rejecting that

affecting the ulner nerve of the left hand and
arm. All the remedies known to the faculty
have b en- tried in vain. Three days use of
DR.. Horne's electromagnetic helt-it ought

an entire cure. There is hardly the slightest
