says:-
"When the "Grandissi mes" appeared We

The wonder is not thai most residences

are at all habitable. Generally the city
house is Immediately connected by the pipe
OF no great dimensions with drains of sew
age miles in length and flowing under
street after street. The considerations also
are such that very frequently poisonous
gases find ready entrance to the kitchen.

Really there is not much to choose be-
tween the two following styles of diction.
One is a cutting from London paper and
the pen of the great Henry Labouchere, the
other from the pen of a distant and obscure
editor of Arizona.
Both are spicy in their way but it will
probably not be questioned that the man
from far Arizona takes the cake.
"Mr. Labouchere attacks the Times and
says It has dementia produced by iingoism,
which makes the editor a luuatic on foreign
affairs. Truth suggests an amy corns nj
editorial heroes to be supported by tax on

In regard to the latest Grant-Vauderbilt
series of letters all that need to be said is
that the matter is getting to be of a nature
quite too tiresomely private for further
public attention; the sincere sympathy of
the whole country will however be given
to the General and Mrs. Grant under the
most recent in6iction imposed upon
them by the extreme, almost brutal vulgari-
ty of Barnum's offer of $1,000 for the
trophies and relics in order that he might
exhibit them.

The Discoyerers Forced to Remain In 1t All
Night.
A dispatch from Chulafinee, Ala, dated July
r. says: "a party of northerners, who have
been prospecting for minerals in this neighbor-
hood for some time, arrived here this morning
FROM Riddlesbrde, on the Tallapoosa river.
They report the finding by them OF remarka.
Bile cave near there, and give graphic account
of their meeting with the inhabitants of the cave
The entrance to the cave is near the head OF
small ravine, about one mile from the Talla-
person to enter at time. The party entered
the cave about 4 IN, and spent two hours ex-
ploring it. The cave is about 400 feet in length,
VARYING in width from 10 to 60 feet, with an
average height Of 10 feet, and is dimly lighted
throughout by small assures in the rocks,
extending from the roof to the ground above.
When the explorers were about to leave the
cave, they were terrified at finding the exit
blocked by writing mass of big rattlesnakes.
The noise made by the party had doubtless
reused the spakes from their hiding places
among the rocks, and they had gathered in
large numb ers near the entrance. Deeming dis
cretion the better part of valor, the party re-
treated to that part of the cave most remote from
the entrance to wait for the snakes to return 10
their hiding places. The explorers were coin-
PEELED 10 remain in the cave until morning. Soon

He was startled at seeing bright flame nash
M from the rocks where the match had fallen,
which rose to the height of four feet, burned
brightly all night. and was still burning when
they left the cave in the morning. A small rs
sure could be seen in the rocks beneath the fame
and the supposition is that a volume OF natural
came at last to the great relief Of the explorers.
the entire party having remained awake all
night Going forward to the entrance OF the
cave, they found that the snakes, with the ex.
cepton OF one or two, had gone back to their
hiding places. Those that remained were quick
ly dispatched with stones, ana the explorers
made their exit from the cave in safety. A large
party will go from here tomorrow, prepared to
extermipate the snakes and fully explore this
wonderful cave.-(Boston Herald.
