Tennessee Onyx Cave.

what believe to be the largest and
finest onyx deposits in the world" said
Mr.. Philo B. Shepard, shave recently
been discovered ia some caves in the
Cumberland Mountains of West Tonnes
see. 1t has been known for some time
that there was fine quality of onyx or
chalcedony there, but the mines or caves
have scarcely beer touched, and recently
my attention was brought to the exist
ence OF large caves in Anderson County,
the roofs Of which are bristling with
stalactites OF ONYX, and in some cases the
columns reach to the floor of the cavern.
| found one column fourteen feet in
length, the top of which is more than
four feet in diameter, and, l believe, an
onyx slab four feet wide by six long
could be sawed from it. The onyx in
these caves is wonderfully free from sand
pockets and other blemishes, and is more
richly colored than any l ever saw, and
seems to exist in unlimited quantity.
Onyx, as you may know, is formed by
the drippings of limestone, and in early
stages looks like prisms Of glass or frosted
icicles hanging from the roof, and count
less ages must elapse before even the
smallest cone of onyx could form, while
the large column have described must
have been growing since the beginning
of time. When the value of these stones
becomes known to the world then Ten
nessee onyx will be more widely known
than Italian marble, but as yet only few
samples have been taken out. st.

A True Story Of Ibsen.

A pretty anecdote is told by our Vi
emma correspondent of Henrik lbsen's
wooing of his wife. The dramatist
who has since become 80 famous was
then instructor of the theater at Ber-
gen, and though he had written "Cata-
liDa," "Gildet paa Solhaug" and Fru
lnger til Oesteraad," his fame was not
such as to assure his success. When
he fell in love with the beautiful daugh-
ter of Pastor Thoresen, how to make
known the fact 10 her troubled him for
weeks. At last he resolved to write to
her. He would come and fetch his
answer the same afternoon at FIVE
O'Clock. Did the lady accept him, she
would be "at home" otherwise not
At five O'Clock he pre- scented himself,
and the maid asked him to go into the
best room. He was very hopeful and
glad TO have time to collect himself
before he met the lady. But when he
had waited half an hour awful doubts
began TO assail him. After all hour
had passed he imagined the letter had
not reached the young lady. Some
fatal mistake was making fool Of him.
Still he waited on. After two hours he
began 10 be ashamed of himself. She
would learn that he had sat two hours
in that deserted house and would laugh
at him. At last be jumped up in rage
and ran to the door. He was opening
it when loud peal of laughter srres te d
him. He turned and saw the fair head
of his sdortd emerge from under the
sofa. Her mouth was laughing, but
her eyes were filled with tears. "Oh,
you dear, good fellow, to wait all this
while |" she said. II wanted to see
how many minutes a lovers patience
lasts. How hard the floor isl Now help
me get out, and then we will talk" In
