A Fighter from Way Back, and a Tough

Africa" said Carl Steckelmann, who has
personal knowledge of the Dark Cont
nent. He had been speaking of Loop
ard skin on exhibition in his widow, and
had been telling of the danger encoun-
tered in fighting with the original owner
of the skin.
Contests with all wild animals pale
in comparison with that in which one
must engage in meeting the gorilla" he
said "The gorilla is found in only a
comparatively small portion Of western
Africa. he turks in the woods along the
coasts for several hundred miles north
Of the mouth of the Congo. ] have
never seen gorilla in the open country,
and, by the way, I think that the fact
that he stays in the woods accounts for
the fact that he Is almost biped instead
Of a quadruped. You see the gorilla in
passing through the forests reaches out
with his long aFfAs, and, seiking the
branches OF the trees, rises on his hind
legs and walks owthern, supporting him

has thus almost made an upright Great

fright. But the male gorilla viii come

forming ranges of low, undulating hills,

in the shape Of fine sand, and the dis

six or seven miles wide. The rays Of the
SUN are 80 strongly reflected from bril-
liant surface that travelling across the
country is almost impossible in summer
on account Of the binding glare and the
great heat generated. This gypsum
range is locally known as the White
Sands, and the White Oaks railroad

on the White Sands there is n natural
basin like depression, into which num-
Der of neighboring gullies and valleys
lead and concentrate, and this basin has,
for the first time within the memory of
man, been filed by rains, and over 800
acres have been covered several feet deep
and transformed into lake. AS the

THE NEW CHARTER.
KY Sur-Reioinder.

XXX in his article in your issue OF
the 21st apologies for his insinuatior
on the want of integrity OF members
Of the city council and the street com
missioner, because he has found that
Capt. Champ Mccullough is an honest
and intelligent man. He insinuatcs,
however that he is the only alderman
who has occupied the position as chair
man Of the street committee, who is
worthv of the compliment. He also
leaves the inference that all the other
members cf that committee are dis
honest and the engineers duty is to
guard the public from them and all fu-
ture chairmen and members. There is
no necessity Of going back to George
III or the colonial days to convince the
citizens Of Waco Of the truth or fall
lacy of the proposition that all their
aldermen, except one, in the present
and past councils have been and are
dishonest, or that their only protsc-
ton is by electing an engineer. He
objects also to what he calls the lap
over system in electing aldermen and
argues that this system Of electing
only one-half each year and letting the
other half hold over, keeps in the old
fossils, and keeps out progressive men.
XXX is an intelligent man, and had
he thought minute would never have
fallen into this error. The status Of
the present council proves exactly the
opposite Of his position. The present
system gives us new men in the coun-
Gil every year from majority of the
wards. There are now only four alder
men Of the present council who have
been elected for the second term, and
only four who have been in the posi-
ton two years. Goode, Tibbs, Ste
phenson and Eyerly have been in more
than two years. lMcColloch and Ca
ruthers have been in not quite two
years. Lacy, Wheelan, Forsgard>and
Herbert have been aldermen not quite
one year. certainly these gentlemen
do not need to be watched by an en-
gineer, and the facts show that under
the present system of election, which
is continued in the new charter, the
people will exercise their prcrogative
Of electing new men. They only have
the chance at an engineer once in
two years, while each year they elect
one-half the council. The present
plan has proven SO satisfactory that
in drafting the proposed charter, the
council saw fit in the interest of the
public to retain it. They also added
. provision allowing the wards to be
to ten, thus dividing the city
into not less than five nor more than
ten wards. Whatever was good and
applicable in the general law the effort
Of the council was to retain it, and
duly made changes where it was
thought to be promotive Of the public
good. We all have high apprecia-
lion of Capt. Champ McCollouch and
think he fills his position as we'll as
any has or could, but we think there
are others in the present council equal
y as worthy, and this is said without
to Capt. McColloch.

How q Minnesota Man Made g
Fortune In Alabama.

Atlanta Constitution.
Over in Huntsville few years ago
a Minnesota man by the name Of Fuller
bought few acres of land and planted
it in fruit. It was his intention to
make Huntsville his home, and to do
what he could to promote the fruit
growing industry Of that section Of
Alabama. HIS property was on the
side of hill, and shortly after he had
taken possession he discovered what
seemed to be quite a deep hole under
one Of the rocks. He began inquiring
among the .neighbors about this hole,
and found that nobody had ever had
the nerve to investigate it, but all
seemed to think it might be a little
cave in the side Of the hill, such as
every billy country furnishes. But
Fuller was not satisfied. He brought
with him from the North that inquis-
itiveness which is supposed to be
characteristic Of the typical Yankee, so
he determined to investigate this hole
in the ground for himself. He did so
and on December 81 last he sold this
hole and few acres of land surround
ing it for 1869, 600.
He had discovered one of the most
notable caverns in the Southern states.
This was Shelta Rock. 1t took its
name from Mr.. Fuller's daughter, Miss
Shelta Fuller, who is one Of the pref
test young woman about Huntsville;
and whether it is the name or just the
Yankee luck which brought the good
fortune, it is certain that this hole has
proved more than a gold mine to the
man who discovered it. The writer
was SO fortunate as to be one Of tho
first to make an exploration of these
caverns after the electric light plant
had been put in and other elaborate
preparations for the reception of guests
had been made. The main cavern is
wonderful for its size, and 1t is said to
be larger than any other one cavern in
the United States. There are from
it passageways leading to smaller cav
ems and points of interest, and there
Is what seems to be quite large lake,
but which had not at that time been
explored. The company purchasing
it is composed Of Iowa and Minnesota
CAPITALISTS, and they contemplate the
erection Of fine water and summer
hotel at the cavern, dummy line
IRON Huntsville, and many other i'm
provements calculated to make the
place an attractive .esort
Mr.. Fullors luck and enterprise
have made him half millionaire, and
.ie will probably enjoy life in his own
way, while the new company takes all
the risk Of booming the resort.
