Jerry Simpson is not spoken of
quite so much as formerly, but anoth-
er prominent parsonage, Baby Mckee,
has come to the surface again. 1t
seems he has just been put in pants,
and feeling the honor of the thing, the
other day he rushed into a party of la
dies in the White House, and selecting
one of the most austere looking, OBJ
served: 81 wear pants, do you?'' The
usual bushes and screams followed,
and Baby Mckee is once more in the
swim and good for any number of news

MAMMOTH CAVE.
TContinued from last week

SOutiHueu IRON last week
The Methodist Church, so feet
across and 40 feet high, is where the
miners used to hear the gospel preach
ed, and the logs that were used as
seats, are still in position. 1t is said
many sermon has been delivered
from the rocky pulpit, since pioneer
days.
\ beautiful transformation scene
is exhibited in the Star chamber. A
hall from 200 to 500 feet long, depend
ing on the place of measurement, 40
feet wide and 60 feet high, furnishes
the guides an opportunity to entertain
visitors. The guide babe us be seated
after which he vanished behind the
rocks. As he left, he said ''good
night, l will see you in the morning."
and we are in utter darkness. In the
absolute silence which ensues, one can
hear his heart beat. But while we
thus sit in darkness, we see in the re-
mote distance the Streaks Of morning
light, growing brighter and brighter,
until it seems as if the sun was bath
ing the hills with its rosy tints. As
the guide comes up swinging his clus-
ter Of lights, asking how we like the
performance, we of course return a
fattering answer, after which he re-
peats the performance again and again
starlight, moonlight, thunder clouds
midnight and dawn, the last heralded
BY cock Growing, the barking of dogs,
lowing Of cattle, the farmer calling his
swine, and various other rural sounds,
until the guide is weary of an enter
tainment that has long since grown
monotonous to him, and he orders US
to resume cur line of march.
Many persons never go farther than
the Star chamber in the main cave, al
though the path is comparatively level
and so dry it is dusty. The Bottom
less Pit is a yawning chasm that caus-
es tremor to run through the frame
as one gazes into Its inky depths. The
river Styx is the largest stream in the
cave and is crossed by natural bridge
or in boat if you choose. Blind fish
lnhabit its waters, which never attain
more than FIVE inches in length, and
are brownish in color, though almost
transparent. Grasshoppers and few
other small insects are also found.
There is no vegetation in the cave
except near the mouth where it is
damp. There, celery and mushrooms
are grown for the hotel.
The short route is travelled by a
great many. When you see one, you
have an idea of the other, as the walls
are of a lime stone formation, but
some are of larger departments than
others, and the stalactites and staiac
mites are more numerous though they
are found in all parts cf the cave. 1t
Is singular to see such large stalac;ites
formed by water alone. We saw some
Is feet long and nearly as large as a
barrel at the base. procured some
specimens from the cave.
To go from any other cavern to
Mammoth cave is like stepping from
sod stanty lato mansion. l believe
it is accepted that this Is the king of
caves. Since my visit, l have read an
account of the Drach cave of Majorca
island. 1t did not give the dimensions
but from the description it must have
been very large and beautiful. 1t is
just being explored.

This Kansas alliance may be calami-
ty howlers, but when the cold, hard
fact comes to light that Superistend-
ent Porter of the census bureau has on
file abstracts of 10000 mortgages,
the howl seems to arise from actual
distress. But the figures above quot
ed do not represent all the mortgages.
There are thousands of farmers who
refused to give any intimation of their
financial affairs, and could this number
be added it would swell the figures to
appalling proportions.

Profit in Pigs.

Turn over new leaf this fall and give
up using the neighberhood boar. If you
have not enough sows of your own to
warrant getting boar, get two or three of
your neighbors to help buy him and you
can all use him. Put in S. each and you
can get tirst-class boar of any breed. If
the rest of the neighborhood finds out
that you have a thoroughbred boar they
will want to use him too. This is all
right, but as you have been to consider
able trouble and more or less expense to
secure him, make all such pay 81 or 50
per SOW. Let them call you stingy if they
like; it is not your business to furnish
such things, and if they do not want to
pay you for the privilege they have the
right to look elsewhere.
At this time of the year you can get good
pigs for SIS to $50 each, and they will be
suitable for service for at least four years.
Suppose you and your neighbors pay $40
for one and have twenty sOws between
you. If you keep him four years the extra
price of a pure blooded over a scrub boar
would be 25 cents per litter. You will aver
age five pigs to the litter and this is cents
per pig. Ifthe pig gains just one pound
more it will paw for this and possibly leave
a profit of l or cents. But don't you sup
pose that pigs from thoroughbred sire will
gain 10, Is, p or maybe 90 pounds more
on the same feed than those from a scrub
sire who has been bred to ''root, hog, or
die2" Let us figure that they gain 10
pounds more, which is not much. On a
litter of this is 30 pounds; on 20 filters
in year, 1000 pounds, and in four years
1900 pounds, which at cents per pound
means a gain of $500 and on an invest
ment of $50. Two hundred and fifty per
cent. interest per annum. Think of that,
farmers, and invest your money before
this paragraph gets dry.

Nut-Bearing Trees on Farms.


In the fall of 1875 / planted some black
walnuts, butternuts and few hickory
nuts in good soil, in rows four feet apart
and about six inches apart in a row. The
nuts were fresh and in good condition
The following spring or summer (for they
do not come up until quite late) about
three-fourths of them came up and grew
rapidly. l kept them we'll cultivated, and
after three years growth some of them
were six feet high and large enough to
transplant. The black walnuts are all
living and have born nuts for the last few
years. The butternut trees have done
well where the soil was dry, but where
ever it was wet the main stem died,
but sprouts came up from the base of the
stem. The young butternut starts best in
dry soil. Although the trees l set all
lived, the thriftest of them made but a
feeble growth for the first two or three
years after transplanting. Iwould recon-
mend that wherever practicable the nut be
placed where the tree is TO remain. There
are many places on most farms that pro-
duce little or nothing valuable, such as
barnyards, lanes, angles and corners, along
streams, on land too rocky or hilly for Gull
tivation, etc. Establish nut-bearing trees
in such places, and they will not only
make source of profit, but will also add
beauty to the farm.

SAM JONES' SERMONS.
me Georgia Crackers Language Too
Blasphemous to Print.

New York sun.
Inc reporters of the Sun have been re-
CURED to cut down, or we have felt i'm
PEELED to omit, the reports of many of the
sermons recently delivered before crowds
OF hearers at Prohibition Park, Staten
Island. by the Rev. Sam Jones, the
"eorgia cracker" who has been preach
ing Tor some time past in the tabernacle
there We are unwilling to permit such
language as he often uses in his sermons
to appear in the columns of the San.
Some OF our local contemporaries are
less particular about their reports of the
Rev. sam Jones' sermons, and print pas
sages OF them which, we should think,
must have shocked any reverend Chris
tlans who may have been among his
hearers. The Press, for example, gives a
report Of the sermon which he preached
last Sunday night in the presence of the
1900 people who crowded the tabernacle
of Prohibition Park. Much of the lam
guage, or lingo, of this sermon was of the
nature of buffoonery; more of it was
scrubby and raffish, and some of it was
plasphemous. We quote here but a single
passage, and We must account for our
doing so by saying that We have an espe-
cial purpose in view. The Rev. Mr.. Jones
said:
=. "God takes His anger and bores right down
through fellows head 10 his heart and into
ms pocket, which should squirt like an artesian
wei. he don't begin away down and bore up
Il he did, what would He do with the dirt? He
can't 90 much with fool, though, and there
are some pieces OF hickory that the Lord could
not make an ak helve out of TO save His soul"
Is not this shocking language for
preacher to use about the Supreme Being2
Gould anything be conveived of more re
pugnant TO a reverent mind? Is it not
blasphemous?
We will not quote any more of the Rev.
MI. Jones sermon of last Sunday night.
what we desire TO say upon the subject
Is this: That the Rev. Sam Jones grossly
wicked sermons at the religious or revival
meetings in Prohibition Park are delivered
under the authority of the committee of
church members that is in charge of the
sacred services there, that they are deliv-
cred with the approval of large body of
orthodox Protestant clergymen of various
denominations, some of whom are always
by his side when he is preaching, and that
great proportion of the people who listen
to them are members of the churches!
These facts are lamentable. They bring
discredit upon the religion of the men who
are inculpated by them.
1t is high time for the clergy and religi-
Gus people of New York to withdraw their
support from the Rev. Sam Jones, the
blasphemer.
