Henry Grient,ie, living on Limestone

difficulty. Upon examining the spot,
Griendle found 4 large hole leading per-
pendiculariy down into the ee.th. lie

and rattle in It's downward course till the
sound died away in the distance. Ex-
aggerated reports OF this discovery
reached this city. and an exploring party
was made up Yesterday and drove over to
the ridge to ascertain what was al the
bottom Of the story and the hole.
The party consisted Of half o dozen
well-known gentlemen, including q re-
porter, who were provided with ropes,
lights, fireworks, etc, 10 make q
thorough exploration. Having fixed
everything in readiness for the decent,
the question arose as 10 who should

finally the whole party foCnd itself at the
bottom OF The shaft.
The ho,S descends through limestone
T, rock ali tie way down, and varies in
diameter from three TO thirty feet. The
bottom is dry rock, and the place proved

where the landing w6s made was esti-
mated TO be SIXTY feet in width, Gnd, while

Retracing their steps for some distance
the party found TO the right a small
opening at the top Of a steep ascent and
entering i. were obliged to crawl on
hands and knees TO- perhaps a distance
Of ten yards. Then the cavern suddenly
opened into another mammoth chamber,
apparently much larger than the first one

from the entrance they came upon a lake

watched until it had apparently fallen

and no signs OF fish or animal life were
visible. A few shells were picked up on
the shore of the lake, and, being again
shut of from further advance, the party
retraced their steps. Openings were seen
in other directions, as though the cavern
extended its wir S still further. but the
fear OF losing their way and of the oil in
the lanterns giving out prevented further
explorations at present. II is proposed
at some time in the near future TO make
further examination, going provided
with boats, ladders, planks, etc, that the
lakes and chasms may not stop the way.

A Perfect Smoke Consumer.

| have just returned from Springfield,
Mo-, where, in the shops of the ST. Louis
and San Francisco road, saw a furnace
in operation that at once solved the prob
lem of smoke consumption and the re-
duction Of coal consumption to the mini
mum. It is bound to revolutionize the
entire system of steam making. It is
the invention of Carney, the master me-
chanic of the road, has been in operation
for nearly year, and is a complete sue
cess. To put it briefly, by Carney's
process the highest degree of heat is Sc
cured by burning with every pound Of
coal two pounds of water. In fact, water
gas is made, and wonder that no one
ever thought of Gt before. The slack
coal is mixed with water in the proper
ton of one part to two, and the result
is the formation of the gas. Every part
of the coal is consumed.
At the end Of twenty-four' hours there
were but three wheelbarrow loads of fine
ashes carried away Had the furnace
been fed dry there would have been from
eighteen to twenty barrowfuls of ashes
and cinders. There was actually no
smoke escaping from the smoke stack,
which was but twelve feet high. | was
struck by the shortness of the stack, and
remarked it to the engineer, who replied:
'Why have it any higher? Nothing goes
through it." At my request tho water
was cut off, and the furnace was fed dry
for two hours, with the result that the
furnace was unable to make sufficient
steam to run the machinery in the shop.
This water burning furnace is to my
mind the greatest invention Of the past
twenty-five years. = Boiler Maker in

A Gard in the Pocket.

Several young married ladies in q GER
tain private boarding house in ST. Paul
are just now having oceans of fun at the
expense of one Of their sex in Rochester,
N. Y. The husband of one of the ladies
recently purchased a spring overcoat.
With true womanly instinct his better
half, the first time the coat was left at
home, proceeded to explore the various
pockets, and hidden in the little side
pocket she found card on which the
name and address of q young lady at
Rochester, N Y, was written OF course
the husband was asked to explain, but
could not, as he had not been aware of
the presence of the card. The idea that
it had been placed there by young tail
Dress who had handled the coat last at
the factory struck the spouse in forcible
manner
His wife was loath to believe such
story but followed the advice of her
husband and wrote to the address given.
pretending that she was q young man
who had bought tho coat In the mean,
time she told the other ladies at the
house Of the affair and all waited impa-
tiently for an answer, 1t canlo and of
course it was as the husband suspected.

correspondence if the gentleman was
sincere, etc. Another letter is now being
written. wonder how the girl will feel
when she discovers that her address fell

some gay dcceiver?-St Paul Pioneer

Tho Mysterious Wrestler.

In Mr. A. G. Gunter's new book, 'That
Frenchman," the scene opens in Paris
during the last years of the second en-
pirc, changes to st. Petersburg and then
to the German-Russian frontier The
tale is melodramatic in character, as are
Mr.. Gunter's other books, but the author
states that he has tried to develop more
comedy. The advance orders he reports
at 10000, He has introduced as one of
his characters ''the wrestler in the mask"
a man who produced a great sensation in
Paris in 1867 and '69. This person was
supposed to be some great nobleman who
was fond of wrestling. He was in the
habit of driving to the scene wrapped in
q long cloak, under which he wore his
wrestling dress. On his face he had
small, black silk mask. He met all COM
ers and was never defeated. Naturally
he was the source of gossip, and the halls
or circus was crowded when it was an
nounced that he was to appear.-Current

Husband and Wife.

Among other absurdities we have well
meaning husbands and wives harassing
one another to death for no reason in the
world but the desire of conforming to
current notions regarding the proper
conduct of married people. These vic
TINS are expected to go about perpetu-
ally together, as if they were pair of
carriage horses; to be forever holding
claims over one another, exacting or
making useless sacrifices, and generally
getting in one another's way. The man
who marries finds that his liberty has
gone, and the woman exchanges one set
of restrictions for another. She thinks
herself neglected if the husband does not
always return to her in the evenings, and
the husband and society think her un-
dutiful, frivolous, and SO forth, if she
does not stay at homo alone trying to
sigh him back again.
The luckless man finds his wife so very
dutiful and domesticated, and so very
much confined to her ''proper sphere"
that she is, perchance, more exemplary
than entertaining. Still, she may look
injured and resigned, but she must not
seek society and occupation on her own
account, adding to the common mental
store, bringing new interest and knowl-
edge into the joint existence, and becom-
ing thus a contented, cultivated and
agreeable being. No wonder that, while
all this is forbidden, we have so many
unhappy wives and bored husbands. The
more admirable the wives the more pro-
foundly bored the husbands. Herald of
