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. It is then to the side and
