IS IT THE LOST SWIFT MlNEr
Baying Hounds Lead the Way to Cav
err That May Prove Valuable.


Judge J. VI. Perry, the well known
Owen county politician, tells me the fol-
lowing story OF a wonderful cave that has
been found on his land in Morgan county
II has only been explored short distance,
but 10 Judge from the indications it must
be miles in extent. The cave was found in
a manner worth relating. A party of fox
hunters were pursuing a quarry which
their hounds had sprung when they
denly came upon high ledge At.he mo-
ment of arriving at this point the baying
of the hounds was distinctly audible, the
hunters not far behind. Suddenly the mu-
sic Of the dogs ceased.
1t did not die away BY degrees, but
stopped suddenly, as il each loud mouthed
animal had been struck by some invisible
force and forever qnieted. The hunters
were at a loss TO account for this phenome-
non. While wondering what became OF
the dogs a belated hound that had been
unable to keep up with the pack came up.
and running below the ledge, set up
howl of disappointment, and the hunters
climbed down 20 where the dog had
stopped, only to see him disappear into the
side of the mountain through large, IT.
regular opening.
Procuring torches of pine knots, the
hunters hastily followed the dog. They
had not zone more than 100 feet until they
entered a large chamber with vaulted
dome. Every inch of space on the walls
and roof was covered with minute crystals
that sparkled like millions Of diamonds
when the light of the torches flashed upon
them.
The men hurried on, however, trying to
overtake their dogs, that they could now
hear family baying within the bowls OF
the earth After going about two miles
through beautiful rooms and lofty arches
and failing to come upon the hounds, the
weary hunters had TO retrace their steps,
owing to their hastily improvised torches
being nearly burned out. The dogs came
home the next day.
A few DAYS after its discovery Judge
Perry visited the cave and explored IL a
short distance. He describes it AS one of
the most wonderful caves he ever saw. In
one of the rooms there is stone wall, 90
Yards long feet high and feet thick. 1t
is built of limestone rock of a kind not
| found in the cave nor anywhere near it.
| The Judge IS at loss to account for the
presence of this wall, especially as it is
| cenented together with II cement as strong
as the rock itself
| Many people who have seen the cave and
| the artificial wall are inclined to think
| this is the famous Swift cave, where that
worthy mined and coined silver hundred
years ago. If this should prove correct
| the Judge will be a millionaire, as Swifts
cave was known to be one of the richest
silver mines ever opened.-Cor Louisville

seated at the table, about to partalxe OF
a smoking breakfast made doubly pal
atable by the reason that it had been
prepared by the fair hands of the young
ladies of the mansion. Suddenly there
was sound of breaking glass, causing
all present to glance in the direction OF
the bay window in the front OF the
dining-room. In an instant more
shell lay close at the feet of the gallant
general.
Taking another hasty glance through
the window Young beheld Gen. Custer
charging toward the house at the head
of his staff. have termed Young a
gallant general and in truth he was
such, but at this moment he realized
the fact that fight was his only saliva
ton. Out of a rear window went
Young, calling to the young ladies,
Tell Custer leave this breakfast for
him." Custer and his staff entered the
mansion and were invited to the break
fast so hastily left by Young.
Custer enjoyed it heartily. and looked
forward with pleasure to the dinner in
the distance In the meantime, Young,
feeling deeply chagrined over the loss
of his breakfast and his hasty retreat,
drove the federal line back, and ere the
sun had passed the meridian, was again
in sight of the Hunter mansion
Custer beheld him approaching just
as he was seating himself at the dinner
table. II might have known, said he,
that Pierce Young would not have left
me here in peace. Here is my pictures

Russia Uhhsalthie,t Of Lam DIS.

II st. Petersburg is the most insal-
ubrious of European capitals, Russia
altogether is the unhealthiest country
in the Civilized world. The latest
statistics Of the medical department
for 1887 show less satisfactory state
Of the public health than those of the
immediately preceding years. The
casss Of infectious diseases, although
far from having been cnronicled, were
much more numerous in proportion to
to the population than in England,
Holland, Italy, Belgium, or Prussia;
leprosy was found in the sixty-fve
districts and 616 fresh victims were
registered during the year; there were
twenty-one blind to every 10000 in
haoitants-a greater proportion than
anywhere on the continent; and 27,-
l07 persons poisoned themselves.
Evary year fifteen more persons in
every 1000 die in Russia than IL
England, which, according to the
NovoA VremyA makes an unnecessary
loss of 1.650.0Q0 persons annually
sacrificed through inadequate medical
assistance. An example of this latter
deficiency is given in the Caucasus,
where there is only one hospital for
every 800, 600 inhabitants and one hos
pital bed for every 10000.
