Interesting Discovery Made by Rus

The Russians have made singular dis
covery in Central Asia. In Turkestan,
on the right bank of the Anou Daria, is a
chain of rocky hills near the Bokharan
town of karki, and q number of large
caves which, upon examination, were
found to lead to an underground city,
built apparently long before the Chris
tian era. According to etfigies, inscrip-
tions and designs upon the gold and sill
yer money unearthed from among the
ruins, the existence of the town
dates back to some two centuries be-
fore the birth of Christ. The under
ground Bokhsran city is about two
versts long, and is composed of an
enormous labyrinth of corridors, streets
anu squares, surrounded by houses and
ether buildings two or three stories high.
The editices nLain all kinds of domestic
utensils, pots, urns, vases and so forth.
Ia some of the streets falls of earth and
rock have obstructed the passages, but.
generally, the visitor can walk about
freely without so much as lowering his
head.
The high degree of civilization attained
by the inhabitants of the city is shown
by the fact that they built in several
stories, by the symmetry of the streets
and squares, and by the beauty of the
baked clay and metal utensils, and of the
ornaments and coins which have been
found. It ia supposed that long centuries
ago this city, SO carefully concealed in
the bowels of the earth, provided an en-
tire population with a refuge from the in
cursions of nomadic savages and robbers.

1.-THE story goes that the craft he sailed
on was captured by the pirates OF the
gulf. and Lafitte taken prisoner TO one OF
the keys that line the coast OF Florida. In
this retreat he was held captive for tw o
years. He learned the ways Of these sea
serpents. His prowess and bravery COM
manded their respect.
In the desperation of despair he con-
sented to be their Captain. He had pos
sibly an idea of escape IN view. as it was
known that after cruise OF some months
IN the South Seas he returned to see Miss
Mornton. and possibly to change his life.
But she was dead. died soon after the
capture, they say, of a broken heart, as
she had heard that Lafitte was killed by
the privateers.
Then came the reckless career of the
pirate that intervened betw cen that time
and the war of 1872.
HE was pardoned with his men by the
Government, and did such good service
that Andrew Jackson pronounced him
the best naval officer that ever swept the
seas.
II have heard that at ball once in New
Orleans he met the Miss Hanton whom
he knew in early days. She was not old
then, and some say they married, but |
cannot vouch for the verify. Certain il
Is that the great pirate began his career
not ten miles from this place, anu that
his real name was not Lafitte. When
was boy my father used to quote piece
OF poetry, which he said was written by
Lahtte to the girl who died. 1t began:
When the dark tomb, its jaws insatate, close
tWined with ours.
No stole self could blame the tear that flows,
And something else, 1 can't remember
the last line.
AT any rate. that is the story about
Lafittc and his love scrape. They say it's
true"
