i.h a party of ten noisy people. At

hi pdd sn l party, who escorted tl
sdv out.
During thtai, three hours my tssrty
waulere.1 abouf. in couple for few
bundled yard, and 'at limes tbe terror
of darkneas and danger increased the
wWaky. A lunch-baaket,and a tamp
near ir, were spoken ol duritis these
hree hours as home, and there curtain-
y was a senie of safety at that one
pot a delusioo.foolisb as it msy seem,
we all shared in. We were in reality
n hour and half's journey from tbe
cave's mouth, without a guide, and
iihout a boar, and with a river com-
letely cutting off all hope of exit. At
this time it was vry interesting to ob
ere that the atrata at our fret, twen
ty feet thirk. had once formed pert of
tbe roof. Another layer might come
at any moment, Thia, then, must have
" n the guide's cheerful thought when
he warned our pattv that the dozen
ftistol.ahotR might shske down some of
be roof of the caye. There are Hta'ar-
tite and stslsamite formations .
Fingsl's Cave and Giant's CanseWsy,
and gvpsnm rosettes and figures like
the nrnsments on a bridal cako. Some
of the rocks sre serai-transparent ; tbs
walls and roofs are often like thick
plsster, but ofteoer of solid mssonrv.
a F
ithout joint or flaw. H imetiraes the
roof is black, and then it appears like
the firmament, and the pruwageway
seem open to the heavens. By certain
effects of light the roof rosy be made
to represent stars, and then the star
chamber is the most perfect illusion in
scenery I have ever witnessed. The
guide, a colored man, ii an excellent
ventriloquist and imitator of cock-crow
wg and aheep-blealing. In an artistic
way he mido the change from starlight
to rosy sunrise by the effect of light and
rural aounds. There is no sense of
fatigue in the journey, the impression
al! tbe time being that you are passing
from hall to hall of ever-varying char
acters. Ihe difrerence between the
frosted roofs of gypsum and tbe black
roofs of oxide of iron cannot certainly
be called repelitions of tbe same picture.
The walking in easy when compared
with usual rock climbing, and the foot
ing is generally as SAfe as when walk
ing on dry chalk.
The most fascinatingview from the
interior is that of the sunlight and trees
outside tbe cave, after the eyo hss been
accustomed to the light 6f the oil lamps,
tbe gray rockn, and the darkness, for
thirteen hour". Why auch glory ?
Why this glimpse of Paradise ? Why
these golden, cheerful hesms and that
lovely folisge ? Is it a holiday of
heavenly beauty on earth, or merely
the usual aspect of tbe earth which we
do not appreciate at its full value ? A
similar scene was produced at Bayreutb,
io Wngnet'K "Ring dea Nibelucgen,'
when Sprinrf enters Iunding's hat and
greets tho loves of Siegmund and Sieg
lende.
To the geologist ard chemist this cave
if. km interesting h to tho painter and
the lovr-r of dramatio and poetical ef
fects. The guide-books give interest
ing descriptions of the changes worked
by wute; and carbonic sid uon the
limestone, easily understood by tbe
amateur in geology snd chemistry. First
be sulphuric acid in the water dissolve,,
tbe limestone, or carbonate of lime, i
formed. As this drops t'..u sulphuric
acid weakens, and the composition then
begins to form a stelsclite. If instead
of falling like an icicle it dozes out of
tbe rook, it forma a stalsgmite. If the
limestone contain iron, it forma a de
posit either black or tbe color of iron
rust. Cypsum, selenhe, alabaster,
plaaler-of -paris, and other forma of sul
phate of lime, everywhere abound ; but
the pretence of nitre has been the most
valuable, since it ia owing to tbia fact
that we are indebted for the ojening
out and exploration of the cave, oai
raenced in DU2 by the searobfra for
saltpetre to be ued agstnit '.he Kng
lisb. Tbe rooks exiated ages before
Adam and Kve, aa can be proved by
tbe tiia required f.r tbs growth of the
several formations. From the surface
of the earth to the lowest river it be
tween 300 and 400 feva, and tbe length
of Ahe explored avenues, 100 miles.
WSI.T LKTTRK
1 From our rsgular urraeondetit )
WASaOraToN, lgc. 20Ul, 1H84.
This last week in Congress has
been one of unusual interest. Kurly
in tho week tne Senate declared by a
majority of ten In favor of the admiss
ion of Dikota; then Senators Beck
end Sherman debated the silver bill:
the naval appropriation bill was dis
cussed; Bdcret sessions were held up
on Hie Spanish treaty, and Sectetary
McCuItoch was confirmed as Secretary
of the Treasury In spite of the opposi
tion of Senator Riddleberger.
Jo the House of Kepreaenta'.ives
Hoagan's Inter-ststo commerce bli
has held the floor through an Interest
ing and, and at times, exciting do
bate. It was on the point of passage
without impairing amendment when
the colored member o'Hara from
North Carolina moved to amend
the bill by the addition of a provlxon
that there should lie M discrimination
In accomodation on ati trlo of tars
agaiuft color or race, but Uiom pay
ing first close rates should be (hA-
mitted lo ride in any first clai ear.
This will perhaps kil the hill, hy
raisin the old sectional ghost.
A hill proum-iling the Bureau of
Agriculture to the rank f a Uovein
tnent Department Im t last PW
passed by the House. If It ahull be
able to run the gauntlet of the S mate
Mr. Cleveland will have au ither
Cabinet officer at bis council tuble mid
the present ccmmissloner of Agricul
ture raiy perhaps enjoy for a brief
period the honors for whicn he has ao
long; striven.
The Inauguration promUes to be
sueeeosful at least at fir as numbers,
euthusiasm, and money can make it
ao. The number of civic and military
organisations that have sent repre-
te' atives here to engage quarters for
tho inauguration ia uoprecented
Among the features of the inaugural
procession there will be a military
company from each state of the union
marching In order of the admission of
the statea to Ihe union, the thirteen
original states coming first. Vir
ginia I believe Is tc take the lead,
and Dakota will not appear In ihig
procession.
A number of organizations from
New York, Philadelphia and other
chief will come In Pullman cars and
lodge in them during their stay.
Others have engaged quarters at
hotel", and boarding house A num
ber of milltarj organisations will be
lodged ia balls and ware house-'. It
Is to be hoped that tho weather wil
be better than was the last, Qarfleld's,
inauguration day, it cannot be wone.
There is considerable excitment
and interest in political and official
circles in relation to the Spanish
treaty and the Nicarauguan canal.
The latter Is considered tho much
more important of the two, while the
control of the canal by the United
States may seem to be a departure
from our traditional policy. It must
be conceded that the control of the
Panama canal by a warlike aggressive
people with a powerful aavy justifies
a departure, or r alter necessitates It.
We have heretofore been able to live
with small military and naval ectab
llshraenta because our supremacy in
this half the world has not been men
aced. But the moment our Pacific
Coast territory becomes more acessa-
bie to tbe powerful navies of Europe
than to ourselves we must take de.
fensive steps. The canal may cost us
a hundred millions of money, but it
will cost less than a war, and it will
completely neutralize the vantage of
France who, without it, will soon bs in
a position to cause us great concern.
There will doubtless be much opposi
tion to the Nicarauguan canal. The
ship railway scheme of Capta'n Eads
across the Isthmus of Thaun topee
will of course oppose it. Mr. Eada
is a most unblushing of lobbyists and
a man of great wealth and plausibility.
He has a plan to build a very broad
) gauge railway across tbe Isthmus aod

Dy extending railroads from our
Texas border through Mexico we can
easily teieh the proposal Thuuntapec

way occupy a slretfgh- postlon with

It would not then be difficult for us
