A Mvsterious cave in ST. Lnnis.

~. Inns J'tSDdtch, Sept. l.
a very interesting discovery, which
promises to add considerably to the citys
historical archives, was accidentlv made
Wednesday afternoon bv some EMPLOYEES
of Rohan Brothers, No. 1,106 Collins
street, st. Louis. They We're engaged in
digging the foundations for a massive
steam shears about to be constructed in
the centre of the shop, when the side of
the wall suddenly fell in, disclosing to
view cavity about seven feet in height.
Entering this the men discovered that it
was of considerable length, with a floor of
solid rock, While the ceiling was sup
ported by upright posts. An exploring
party was at once made up composed Of
Councilman Stone, Mr.. Dennis Devers,
and Messrs. John Michael and
Philip ROhan. After proceeding in
straight line east for about fifty
feet the party came to an angle
and followed another arm of the cave
which pointed toward Car street. BeyOnd
the turn was another and smaller opening,
which they entered, and walked on for
some distance, when they came to another
turning pointing north. This turning
was about seventy-tive feet long, and at
the end of that distance the cave again
turned east. In their explorations the
party came upon several relics of undoubt-
ed historical value. Councilman Stone
found an Indian bow and a quantity of
pottery and flint locks. Mr.. John Rohan
unearthed a small brass or copper box,
which, being opened, disclosed to view
five parchment documents neatly folded
and written partly in French and partly
in Spanish. The discovery of the cave
created the widest interest in the neigh
bOrhoOd, and last evening the place was
visited by number of gentlemen. To-
day the place was putin possession of the
Missouri Historical Society, who will
make a thorough investigation and report
what they find to the scientific world.

From the Original Owner.


In a semi-thriving village in Maine an
shelf of closet opening out of the mar
lor OF Captain Henry Mann is an article
that no other person in the world pos
sesses, for the Captain obtained il directly
from the original owner, who used il over
200 years ago. This article or tronhy
IS the under jawbOne of Francisco
PizarrO, the famous conquerOr of Perm.
The way it came into Mann's possessiou
Is easily told. Some time during the early
part OF the last decade he was the mate of
a guano-laden ship lying in the port of
Callao awaiting sailing orders, and, hav-
ing little surplus time and money. he
took journey to Lima, the Peruvian,
capital. Among other places of in
terest, he visited the big Cathedral,
IN vault underneath which the
remains of the Incas DESTROYER
are deposited. A priest, who acted as
guide, few Peruvian sight-seers and he
descended into the tomb together, and
while the talkatiVe priest and his country
men were inspecting the monuments of
lately deceased worthless, the Puritanic
ankee mate, inspired with South Ameri-
can rum and a natural desire to carry
something away with him that would
serve as reminder of the occasion, held
a muscular interview with the bones Of
the defunct warrior. which resulted in Pi-
Zarro reluctantly cOnsenting to surrender
his under jaw to the enterprising New
Englander. Concealing it in his coat
pocket for the time being, the mate car
ried it carefully on shipboard and brought
it to his Maine home, where it is now
kept as sacred relic. So the mad freak
OF a tipsy DOwn-Easter had placed more
wealth and dominion between the flesh
less Jaws OF the dead PiZarrO than the
bloody Spaniard dared to hope for in the
widest of his many wild dreams.

HARVEST GLEANINGS.
Crop Accounts from Various Sections
Not Encouraging


PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.-The drought of
the past two months has done. and is still
doing, great damage to crops throughout
the south side of Virginia, and unless
there is an early fall of rain the loss will
be incalculable. In some sections not
more than half crop of corn can he
made, and the same may be said of cotton
ana tobacco. In some counties no rain
has fallen since June. The streams are
last drying up, rendering milling opera
tiOns impossible. The river at this place
Is so low that millers cannot do more
than one-tourth OF their usual work.
GAbV VESToN, Sept. "A dispatch from
san saba says that drought, such as has
not been known for many wears. prevails
throughout the counties of San Saba. Nc
Culloch and Concha. Prairie fires have
destroyed large areas of grass, and stock
raisers will suffer heavily.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 3.-The August cotton
crop report for the Memphis district.
which embraces West Tennessee. North
Mississippi, North Arkansas ana North
Alabama, to be published tomorrow by
Messrs. Hill, FOntaine & Co., will saw;
''HereWith is submitted a summary of
information contained in 362 letters bear
ing an average date Of August 2S. The
outlook detailed in these letters Is by no
means encouraging. Drought, rust and
shedding of squares and small
bOlls are mentioned as causes
of complaint i'll nearly every portion
OF the district. In Mississippi only four
correspondents represent no injury from
these causes. In Arkansas only twelve
report no damage. Our July report indi-
Gated decreased yield of cotton as COM
pared with last year of 12T per cent, but
owing to the causes alluded to above a
summary OF the responses upon which
this report is based point to a decrease in
the yield of fully 20 per cent. The
hot, dry days and cool nights
which have prevailed for the past
two weeks have virtually closed the grow
ing season by promoting rust and she'd
dlng, and nothing now remains except for
the bolls already formed to develop to ma
turlty. Picking will become general
throughout the district by September 18th.
The following is the aggregate of the 362
responses: Is report the weather during
August as having been unfavOrable
for cotton, 1856 favorable, 204 less favor
able than last year, 102 more favorable
and 56 about the same; 214 report the
plant fruiting we'll and 14S not so we'll;
90 report the plant in good condition and
better than last year, 20S not So good and
"a about the same; "A report picking as
having commenced and 31S not COM
menced; 326 report injury to plant from
drought, rust and shedding, and 36 no in
jury; 50 report a prospect of a greater
yield than last year, PA that it will be
less and 6S about the same.
DUBLIN, Sept. 3.-The recent storms
have almost totally destroyed grain and
other crops in the south of Ireland. The
authorities fear renewal of the rent ag-
itation owing to the distress consequent
upon the loss OF the crops. A general
strike against rent is thought to be immi-
nent.
