PHILADELPHIA has chIldrens aid society
the object of which is to provide for dependent
and destitute little ones, who would otherwise
become inmates Of almshouses or orphan asy-
lums The main purpose is to keep the children
from getting 'institutionized," and even the best
of asylumns or public ''homes" are not made use
of by the society, except for temporary shelter
for their charges Great taken in investigat
ing the character of the people with whom the
children are placed They are usually given for
adoption, occasionally are indentured for service,
but in either case are regarded as wards of the
society, and never lost sight Of 1t is claimed
that the children thus taken direct from their
own poor homes or even from the street adapt
themselves more readily to their new surround
ngs and home atmosphere than do others taken
from asylumns.

MISSOURI comes forward with cave and. as
might be expected, it is thought to rival if not
surpass in extent the Mammoth cave of Ken
lucky. tbs situated in Oregon county, in kind
of canon, the walls of which are $50 feet high,
and not more than 100 feet apart. This canon
is connected with three others which empty into
it. Where the first two come together, and a
little below their junction, the two are cut off
from the third by natural bridge of solid rock,
$50 feet high and some eighteen or twenty feet
wide at the top Nearly opposite the arch of
the bridge, on the southerly side of the third
canon, is the mouth of the Great Gulf cave.
Standing there the visitor is at the deepest point
of all the csnons. The mouth is forty feet wide
by as many high. Entering, the floor
gently declines the aperture narrowing
as one proceeds. At distance of
some one hundred yards from the mouth of the
cave, after having crossed running stream,
lake is reached. This has been partially ex
plored in boat and an island or peninsula was
discovered some two hundred yards from the
shore from which the start was made. Crossing
this, another lake or arm of the first was come
upon, and all efforts to ascertain how wide the
second lake is has proved uuavailng, as stones
thrown have all been heard to plash in the
water. But probably the most curious thing
concerning Grand Gulf cave is the fact that all
the wa ter carried by these canons is swallowed
by the cave and though vast quantities of drift
wood, logs, trees, etc, are swept into it, no
trace of them can be found, and the wonder is
how they pass through some of the narrow
aperatures. The fact that the cave is periodIG
ally flooded will detract from the pleasure of
exploration.

IN MEMORIAM.

MRs ELIZABETH NJ. BoYERs was
born at Blacksville, Va, June 30,
1882. and died in Morgantown, Jan.
"a, 1884, at the residence Of her
brother, Dir. Brock.
At seventeen, she was left mother
less, and upon her fell the care Of six
younger brothers and sisters. The
comfort of her father and the train
ing of these children filled her heart
and hands till 1856, when she mar
ried Rev. ii. G. Boyers, Of the Meth
odist church. Soon afterwards they
removed to Iowa, where, as Pastors
wife, she was equally loved and nd
mired. In $50, her husband was sta
toned in Nebraska City-where in
less than year he died suddenly of
heart disease.
In 10 she came home with her
three daughters-came home, as her
friends thought, only to die. But ten
years more Of domestic and social
activity were granted her. At last,
her invMcible spirit was obliged to
yield to physical weakness, and for
two years she has been,--as poem
found in her bible beautifully ex-
presses it.
"Called aside
From the glad working of thy busy life,
From the worlds ceaseless stir Of care and strife
Into the shade and stiffness by thy Heavenly Guide
For brief space thou hast been called aside.
Lonely hours
Thou hast spent, weary on a couch of pain,
Watching thu golden sunshine and the falling rain
Hours. whose sad length only to Him was known,
Who trod a sadder pathway, dark and lone.
Laid aside -
May not the little cup Of suffering be
A loving one Of blessing given to thee!
The cross of Christening sent thee from above
By Him who bore the cross, whose name is love.
Called aside =
o, knowledge deeper grows with Him alone,
In secret oft His deeper love is shown
And learnt in many an hour Of dark distress
Some rare sweet lesson Of His tenderness.
Called aside -
We thank Thee for the stiffness and the shade;
We thank Thee for the hidden paths thy love hath
made,
We thank Thee for dark Gethsemane.
Called aside -
O, restful thought--He doeth all things we'll
o, blessed sense, with Christ alone to dwell:
So in the shadow Of Thy cross to hide,
We thank Thee, Lord, to have been called aside.

K-ANKENY.--The follow
ing marriage notice is clipped from
the Pioneer Press of the Goth. The
bride is we'll known here where she is
quite favorite: The residence Of Mr..
A. +. Ankeny,on Western avenue, was
yesterday afternoon the scene of a
brilliant social event, the occasion
being the marriage of Miss Florence
M. Ankeny and Mr.. Chester McKus-
lex Of Saltwater. The large and
pleasant rooms were deliberately dec
GRATED and brilliantly illuminated,
and in them were assembled about
seventy-five friends and relatives.
Precisely at o'clock the bridal party
entered the parlors, the wedding
march being played meantime on the
piano. The bride was elegantly at
tired in a cream colored silk with an
exquisitely embroidered front and Or
namented with lace and pearls. Rev.
T. b. Wells performed the ceremony
according to the Episcopal ritual. and
Rev. Enos Campbell, Of the Church
of Christ, was also present. A host
Of congratulatory kilograms and cards
were received, among them one from
Mrs. Judge Black and Gov. Black Of
Pennsylvania and Judge Mitchell Of
Winona. There was vast array Of
beautiful presents-silyerware, china,
statuary, paintings, etc. The brides
father gave an elegant mahogany up
right piano, and her father-in law a
generous roll Of bank notes. A rare
set of pearls was the groom's gift to
the bride. The suspicious occasion
was concluded with an elegant supper.

THE Tower CLocK.---The tower
clock recently purchased for the Uni
versity is now being set up in the
cupola and will be in operation in a
few days. This is quite valuable
acquisition to the University, and
the need of it has been felt ever since
the institution was established. 1t
is a wonder how they have got along
without it, 1t is almost as easy to
run steamboat without central
time piece and bell to ring out the
hours with regularity. The tower
clock serves the double purpose of
keeping accurate, uniform time and
also OF striking the hours on the
University bell Heretofore it has
been necessary for the Janitor to
climb up into the cupola every hour
or half hour in the day to tap the
bell. The clock dispenses with all
this, which was labor enough for one
man every day. 1t will likewise be
an invaluable convenience to the
town and surrounding country, as it
will regulate and give us uniform
time, not only during the sessions Of
the University but all the year round.
We presume that when the clock is
ready to go there will be no more
ringing of the bell, and whenever it is
heard it will be striking the hour OF
the day or night, so that there will
ha NJ ,,,ora non fncion mr. uoncocifv 0f
learning the hours at which the bell
is rung. The clock can also be relied
upon to give us correct time through
out the year. 1t is from the cele-
brated firm known as the Seth Thorn
as Clock Co. They are warranted to
vary less than two minutes in year
and are as nearly accurate as any
time piece that is made. There is a
six hundred pound weight hung to
the striking cable, which ought to
bring the hammer down on the bell
hard enough to be heard at Stewards
town on a clear day. Beside the an
nouncemcnt of the hours on the bell,
there will be two large dials or faces
on the outside Of the cupola, six feet
in diameter, one facing north and the
other south, so that the time may be
seen at the distance of half mile.
The clock is a beautiful piece Of
machinery. It weighs about two
thousand five hundred pounds. The
pendulum ball itself, weighs 70 lbs.
1t is 81 inches high, 40 inches wide
and 33 inches deep. The University
bell, on which it strikes, weighs about
LOO pounds. This is an acquisi-
ton of which the University, as well
as the people, will feel proud.
