J ♦ THE FRIDAY ; ASHLAND TIDINGS hand df Him who created all things AUGUST 2, 1878. f alinéete, a mixed company of romanti cally inclined young people is necessa ry. And anoh were, with few excep* acd as the result of many centuries of growth and construction, can anyone fully realize how truly transporting tbe sensations born of snen a discovery. 1« it any wonder that we proclaimed from the mouth of the entrance, to those who were in camp below, that j we had discovered the Celestial City? or, that we returned to camp that even ing, with tbe proud consciousness of having seen “glory enough for one day?” A number of tbe young men, on bearing our report, rushed up the mountain and into tbe Dewly found entrance to verify onr statements. It was not a great while, however,ere they came belting forth from tbe scene of hidden splendors, with an enthusiasm apparently more irrepressible than our own. These events determined onr stay at the cave another day, that all the party might enjoy a sight, so rare and yet so glonon*. An accident, however, happened to one of tbe young ladies during the afternoon, that de prived ber of this satisfaction. One of the youDg men had accidentally started a rock on the side of the monntain that rolled against her,bruising her ankle so seriously as to temporarily put a stop to active pedestrian exercise. This circumstance gave the author of the accident who had subsequently, killed a large venison. to perpetrate the crnel joke, that he had killed one deer and crippled another, during the trip. Literally true,with necessary chances in orthography. Jnly the 12th was a busy day with H e cave hunters. Such adjectives as ‘ beautiful,” “nice,” “splendid.” etc., had to do service so frequently that they became tiresome, if not odious, expressions. The number of times that“tbe prettiest room yet,”»va« found, is not definitely Tf membered; nor was there sufficient unanimity of opinion to confine that distinction to well defined limitations—they were all the prettiest. After passing through a long aisle pro fusely resplendent in calcareous ervs tallizatinns, we come to what resembles a fnrnished apartment, or sitting room. This we named Martha’s drawing room, in honor of Miss Marta Nail; further on. we descended into what, in many respects, resembles a cellar, filled with boxes, barrels and bottles of diversified shapes and sizes. This place wa« christened Mary’s cellat. in honor of Miss Mary Layton. Still fnrther on is Emma’s closet; back a short, distance, and to one side is Ansbel’s pantry; while to the right of Martha's drawing room is one of the most unique apart ments of all—called Tommy’s candy shop. This is an almost exact liken?«* of a well-arranged toy shop, with numerous fancy fixtures hung out a« a sign to entrap the runaway urcbiD. An adjoining room contains a miniature lake or foantaiu of water. Several places were examined bv members of our party that were not visited by the writer, but he has their testimony to the fact that, snoh places were "th? prettiest yet.” On? place was describ ed by Rev. M. C. Miller, as resembling an ancient sarcophagus.stored with < Id mum mi?«. But. I dare «ay it never entered ioto the mind of man. much as has been expended by mighty rulers for costly sepulture, tn devise a mau soleum equal to this. Here are solemn shapes and fairy frost work artisticallv blended; beautiful cancades and water falls congealed in solid marble; ghost like images, too substantial to be called an apparition; limestone stairway«,with marble steps and balustrade, with ceil ing, sides and floor of each room radiant with tbe profuse magnificence ■nd gorgeous splendor of generous, modest, unassuming nature. To be continued. lions, tbé edve banters. There wMs no harry to seek the arms of Morpheus on the night of onr arrival, Tbe excitement of the day and expecta lions of tbe morrow were slow to be tailed to sleep; then, there were other senrations and anticipations, that, tbe more they are mutually lolled, the live lier the/ become. Cupid,thongb blind, is not Í friend to drowsiness. And if there had been no other antidote to "Pleasant dreams aud al ambers light.” the antics of Tommy, the general good cheer and tbe good music (instrumen tal and vocal J to which many of tbe party abandoned themselves, would have been sufficient to reconcile us to a protracted deprivation of ‘‘Nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep.” The morning of the 11th was met by our party with an early greeting; some had fisiona of venison before them, others found wholesome exercise look ing after the riding animats, while those remaining in camp attended to eulihaty preparations. Breakfust once over, preparations were immedi ately begun for the work of exploration. Tbe most suitable toilet for this busi- - ness would probably comprise a suit of stout ducking, something not cum be ruóme nor easily toru; and a bandage over the head instead of fashionable Late or bonnets, is recommended on the score of convenience; as well as econ omy. At tbe mouth of tbe cave are two openings, both of which have been choked up with large rocks fallen from above, and by sediment, washed in by tbe stream of water that issues from tbe cave, and all who penetrate the lower cave must "stoop to conquer.” A stiff breeze is to be contended with at tbe start, to tbe detriment of lighted can dice, but ODce inside the cave a few rods, the atmosphere is quiet, whole some aud df an equal temperature— such as would certainly be advanta geous to persons affected with weak langs.' Three or foar rods from the entranoe.we come to a rugged chamber that is partly filled with huge stone?, from ten to thirty feet in width, and has a fissure extending fifty or more feet overhead. Here are also side tun nels,of little interest, however, in poim of ornamental embellishments There are several small passage ways leading to tbe other apartments. You can either crawl on all four«, or sqaeez* through a narrow fissure through which runs the stream of water. It was ob served that most of the younger ladies had—if anything — a partiality for those places where there was the most ttyueziiuj. Girls who inherit a consti tutional aversion to all such experien ces, should shun the lower cave. Along tho water course is an irregular tunnel, up which a person can ascend •bout two hundred yards to where tbe stream is too much choked up for fur ther ingress.
