denly found himself possessed OF troops Of

POTTERY tl:ket, Of which he owned one fifth
part, had drawn the capital prize of SIS, :!
900, emitting him to SIS, 900. Heexpects

poor, Woodworking man with no family,
who barely earned his own support by his

named Myers, one day bantered him to buy

Myers told him that he had bought one.

do the same. After some delay the shoe
maker did so. One day last week the two
men got a list OF the lucky numbers, and
Scharf's was among them. He proposes to
give Myers 81 900, and give q supper to his
friends. What to do with the rest of the
i money he has not decided, although null.

THE RICHMOND DISPATCH SUNDAY SEPTEMBER s. 1856

70 al thirsty visitors. Crossing ths
Devils Canon. which sxtsnds across
the chamber and fer beyond, We pause
to look at . great frozen fall flowing
down from source hidden In the mys-
terious gloom above. This Is tho mos,
beautiful fall In the cavern, both on ac-
count Of it's size and pure cjlor OF no
spotted white. To the right Of the a.
csnding stairs there hangs what appears
to be very large piece Of white Grape,
about five feet long by two wide, Hut.
tering down in tumbling folds from the
eposless roof OF tie passage. This far
surpasses the Angels Wings in its
purity 81 color, for not the strongest
light held behind 1t betrays one stain
on the whiteness Of its pellucid depths.
The airy grace Of the " Weeks Wash
ing," Is il has been prosaicly but apt
~ named, is Undesirable, and We al
most expect that it might be waited
up 10 the ceiling with q pow
erful blow, but when sounded it
trills forth musical sounds rich a.
the notes Of golden bell. Passing
along a narrow footsay, which spans
dangerous. looking depths, We stand be-
low what is known a. the dome or bel
fry, down which Mr.. Mercer terminated
an exploring expedition with fall Of
fifty feet. Had he not before selling
out discovered a weak place in that
stone flask of the first chamber Qmen
sdbs? The belfry, some fifteen feet in
diameter, extends upward to q
height of about City feet, and
the upward vista-if so it may
be called is a remarkable one, especially
to those who have always Jagged be-
hind from WEAKNESS or wonder, and
can see the long procession winding up
above them among the twinkling lights.
Its top IS some thirty feet from the
surface, and at or near this point has
been sunk shaft, up which we make
our exit, thirty feet TO the left Of our
pointof ingress, having made an almost
complete circle in our winding way
below.
PECULIAR FEATURES.
Before we leave the cavern let US
make a short resume Of its character
and peculiarilies. AS has been men,
toned before, it tends directly down.
ward, and if the visitor has glanced
down into the precipitous boulders and
cliffs over which the stairways have
been built he will fully realize the ar
ticular peculiarly. The largest cham
Der in the cave is about 800 by 20 feet
and wide in proportion, and many Of
the passage ways are extremely narrow
and low.
AS Murphy's is directly on their way
to the Big Trees, tourists may most
easily stop over an hour or two, which,
as may be realized from the above de-
scriptions. will not be time i'll spent.
The tourist should, if possible, visit
the cave in the evening, as otherwise
the oppressive heat and glare Of the
outside would cause an extremely I'M
pleasant sensation after an hour passed
in the cool. dim depths belog.

Young Tigers ~ Central Parh.
NAV York Trtbune.l


The keepers ut the mensgerie In the
arsenal on Sunday discovered several
new animals in the tiger.csge. Cleopa-
ira, the mother, was fondliDg three
young tiger kittens that had been born
the night before. Two Of them were
weak and helpless on the bottom Of the
cage, but the other was lively, and kept
up . constant mewing. The young
tigers are about the size Of . half grown
cat, and are covered with black and
yellow stripes, like their mother.
These are the first tigers that have
been born in the menagerie. Superin-
tendeut Conklin took immediate care
that they should have every attention
possible but, in spite Of all bis efforts
to save them, two were too weak to
take nourishment, and they died within
q few hours. The third one is male,
and is doing well, although he will not
nurse. Every few hours one OF the at
tendants fills 3 bottle with warm milk
and feeds the tiger-kitten from this rs
if be were babe. His eyes were still
closed, and will not be open for several
days. If be can be prevailed on to
nurse properly to-day Mr.. Conklin
thinks that there will be good chances
Of raising this tiger.
The mother shows great affection for
her offspring and growls savagely when
any one approaches her. Usually the
tigress, when in captivity, win deyour
her young, but Cleopatra has shown no
indication of such conduct. She was
obtained by the park authorities last
spring, and is only four years old. A
year ago she was captured in India and
taken to Germany. Her companion,
Adonis, is in an adjoining cage and
does not take kindly to the separation.
One of the two dead kittens was given
to the Museum Of Natural History and
the other to the Smithsonian lDstitu-
