A i,tT CONTINENT.
Submerged Land* in the South Pacific,
and the Destruction of Theii Native*.
i*apt. William Churchill, before the
Academy of Science, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, sought to show by the
records ot deep-sea soundings and from
archaeological remains that the Pacific
Islands are only the remnants of a sub
merged continent, whose mountain peaks
and lofty heigats arc all that remain
above the surface of the ocean. He dwelt
al length on the subject of a Polynesian
antecedent civilization as revealed
through ancient implements, statues and
sculptured stone slabs found on a few of
tbe groups, more notibly the Fcjees. The
studies of zoophytes and coral forma
tions taken from a depth of 2,000 fath
oms and more also confirmed tnis belief
of the subsidence of tte prehistoric con
tinent. On Pitcairn’s island and also on
Tahiti and Tonga-Tabu had been found re- ;
mains which showed the existence ol s
long-forgotten tribe. At Tonga-Tabu a j
monster triiithon is to be seen. It is coin- j
posed of gray volcanic stone, with neat
ly-dressed edges. It U 10 by 12 feet
square, and stands 20 feet out of the
ground. It is surmounted by a huge kava
bowl. He described the implements and
metals in use by the natives of several of
the groups before the advent of the white
voyagers, and said that iron and steel
were unknown to them before their dis-
covery by civilized persons. •
Capt. Churchill described the monoli
thic statues of stone and sculptured wood
found on Easter Island. The monoliths
were found standing in rows of five or
six, only a tew leet apart. They were
hewn from volcanic rock, and were either
vary crude in woikmanship or else they
*ad suffered from the ravages of time.
One row of these statues was quite well
preserved. Each of them was 10 feet
high, and they represented human heads
and bodies, with a kind of cap or other
head covering on the top. These were
the same statues seen and described by
Capt. Cook in bis works on travel and dis
covery. A finely-sculptured hand of a
dancing girl and some polished wooden
slabs, on which were numerous hierogly
phmal figures in long row 6, had been dis
severed in an ancient and half-ruined
stone house on Easter Island. This was
•he only relic of a native written lan
guage ever found in tho Pacific islands.
The depopulation of many of the Poly
nesian islands through the ravages of
disease and “head hunting” was com
muted upon. Prior to this era of decay
there had been a long period of over-pop
ulatlen. dnring which the practice of
••swarming,” as he termed it, was often
resorted to in order that the remaining
people might be able to find subsistence
on .heir limited territory. He pointed to
well-verified tales of the selection and
sending forth fof certain undesirable
members of the tribes from their homes,
in canoes, to drift about in mid-ocean
until they perished or reached some less
crowded island, where they might find an
abiding-place, masses of people
crowded together on these small islands
must, the speaker argued, have come
from a larger territory than that which
they latterly inhabited. Where could
they have cone but into the sea?
A BIKIAIi AT bE A.
Consieutos; a Conuimmler'* Corpit? to the
Waver, and Hi* Ship to the Flames.
Midshipman Ja. M. Morgan, of tho
Confederate cruiser Georgia, is giving a
Qistory in the Graphic of the operations of
that vessel. In Lis iast article appeared
this description oi a memorable scene
which took place otf the coast of Brazil:
The Captain of the Good Hope had died
on the voyage, and his son, who was one
of the crew.being anxious to have his
father decently interred on shore, the car
penter had made a rough. water-tight box,
and this, being tilled with lime, ready i
to receive the corpse, but the Stewart, to j
make sure of preserving tho body, had j
cut gashes in it with a carving ’ knife,
the gaping wounds with piece* of
pickle- , ’
It j U st before sundown when the 1
tfo'id Hope was captured, si it was de- j
termlned not to transfer her crew to the j
Georgia until the next morning. l-.eut.
Evans was sent on board with a prize
crew of six men and preparations were
made to lav by the prize all night. About
2 a.m. in’the mid-watch a crash was
heard on deck, the ward-room officers
jumped out of their bunks, and mustering
on deck found that a squall had struck
the ship and that Smith, the officer of the
deck, was not only dead drunk bin.sell
but had given liquor to the (Quartermas
ter, who was laid out beside him, and the
lights of the prize were nowhere id sight,
having drifted tar away during the squall.
As Evans only had six men and the crew
of the bark numbered 14, great uneasi
ness was felt about him. At daylight the
course of the cruiser was shaped in the
direction where the prize was last seen,
and shortly afterwards she was sight-d
to the great delight of all on board. Smith
was plaeed under close arrest, and at the
Cape of Good Hope be was sent home and
promptly dismissed from the service.
The body of the dead Captain was
brought on board the Georgia, the rude
•offin was plaeed upon a plank in the
port gangway wrapped in the United
States flap; heavy shot were fastened to
it. and the boatswain piped all hands to
witness “the burial of the dead. ’ While
these preparations were going on the
Good Hope was set on tire, the smoke as
cending to a great height. While the
flames played about her decks and ran up
her rigging, jumping from sail to sail,
Capt. Maury read the solemn Episcopal
nervine over the dead commander, and a
snow white sea bird circled around the
main truck above his head, deeply im
pressing the superstitious sailors sur
rounding him. While the services were
going on the officer of the deck was seen
again and again to come down tho
poop deck and whisper something in Capt.
Maury's ear, but the latter seemed to pay
bo attention to him until he had pro
nounced the words committing the body
to tfce silent care of the deep blue sea.

San Francisco Alta, Ftb. 5.
Jo*e El Uraga, who in early days was
l amous as one ot Mexico's greatest Gen
erals, died yesterday at his residence,
1 250 California street. The deceased was
73 years of age, ami had, tor the twenty
two years previous to 1306, been identified
with all the progressive movements in
Mexico. He was confessedly the greatest
General in the Mexican army. At the
time of thAmericao war with Mexico,
in 1546, Gtn. Uraga distinguished himsell
at Monterey as a brave and dashing sol
dier. Ho was the organizer of tae army
which brought Juarez to power during
the reform war which lasted from 1357 to
I*6l. At the time of the French in
vasion, in 136!, he was at variance
with the government on account of
leave being given the French to
pass the * forts between Vera
Cruz and Cuernavaca. Being the com
mander-in-Chief of the army he was re
moved from Vera Cruz and placed in
command of the reserve forces. R
strong disciplinarian he found small ia> or
with the army, and was removed by
Juarez, another General being jflacedin
his stead. He then retired to private life.
Subsequently, however, in 1361, be recog
nized the Maximilian Empire. After the
victory of the republic in 136 G he was
exded by Juarez. He traveled all over
Europe sind America, and was connected
for a few rears with the Guatemalan Gov
ernment.* In 1377 he came to California,
where he has resided ever since. It was
under Uraga that President Diaz gained
his first military experience, and for this
he has shown the utmost gratitude. Dar
in" bis exile Uraga has received a pen
sion of $l5O per month lrom DiuZ. and it
is probable that had he lived another year
Diaz would huve secured his reinstate
juent.
UN-AMVCKTCAN ORDER*,
Which Should ■'o' be Encouraged by a
Democratic People.
When the Order oi Cincinnati was es
tablished at the close of the Revolutionary
war, says a Washington letter to tbe
New York Wortd, there was a great out
cry made against it tnroughout the coun
try. That society was made up strictly
of officers who h id served in the cause of
freedom. Ea.-fi officer had the right to
designate one of his sons or descendants
to succeed him in the order at his death.
The criticism f the time was that the
order had a tendency to establish in this
country an aristocracy: that in all coun
tries where aristocracies exist their
claims of superiority are based upon
deeds of valor or descent trom great war
riors. Notwithstanding the great ex
citement the lormation of this society
occasioned in the early history of this
country, the founding ot a simitar order
since the last war has attracted almost
no attention, and has nowhere provoked
any criticism. The order of the Loyal
Lesion is tie-day a most compact and pow
erful social organization, It is made up
; entirely ol officers who fought in tue late
war upon the Union side. It is essential
ly ur, aristocratic organization, because no
one is uutmrui to it who did not hold a
commission in the service. More than
that, his service mubt be ot a character
which Will bear carelul examination. An
applicant for admission to the
Lotal Legion must submit
with it an official transcript
ot his record, accompanied by an honor
able discharge from ihe service. I'uis
record is examined by a special commit
tee, and unless the applicant is oi the
kind and character agreeable to the
gentlemen already members, the applica
ton is rejected. The Loyal Legion differs
completely trom the organization known
as the Grand Army of me Republic. The
latter is democratic and takes in every
one who ever served in the Union cause.
Senator flaw lev, of Connecticut, is the
President of the" J-ovul Legion. They give
monthly dinners. The Legion here has
nearly 200 members. They generally seat
at their dinners trom lUO to I.YO. When
the wassail bowl ol punch is passed
around at t he close of the dinner, songs of
the war are sung.
It is one of tue delusions of every man
who has served in the army that he can
sing. Hen. Hawley, who has no more voice
than a erow, leads in the singing and the
whole ISO chime in as chorus. At the
end of a good dinner, when one has been
drinking freely, the critical faculties are
blunted. I know a member o! the Le
gion who is an educated musician, but ue
is so enraptured by the perfectly diaboli
cal noise made at these Loyal Legion din
tiers that he swears that it is the best
music in the world. Nobody, be says,
but an old soldier can sing war songs.
Gen. Van Vliet, late Quai termastcr-
Ueneral of the Army, is also one of the
principal singers. It is one of the sights
of modern Washington life to see this
great lree-lunch warrior stand up and
roar, w ith all the unction and noise of a
real soldier, songs ot the war. (leu. \an
Vliet saw most arduous service in the
city of New York during the -war. He
was stationed there for the purpose of
purchasing army supplies. He must
have had unusual oppor unities lor spec
ulation. because became out of the war
a ricu man. Ue is one of the richest
officers in the army to-day. His fortune
is estimated at in the neighborhood of
soc>,(ioo. If he smeit. gunpowder during
the war or heard the song of a bullet
whistling its cheerful way through the
air, that fact has been well concealed.
His position in the Quartermaster-Gen
eral's Department ot course did not re
quire his presence upon any battle-field,
but since the war has been over he has
been one of the most conspicuous figures
In all the army reunions.
The badge ’of tho I-oyal Legion is a
small, compact rtd, white and blue
rosttte, made in the shape of a small
round button. It is worn in the lelt lapel
of the coat. It is worn with the same
pride that the Chevaliei s of the Legiou of
Honor sport the red ribbon in their but
ton-holes. K-erly all of the im-mbers
wear these rosettes, so that you see them
wherever you go, in business, politics or
society. The men comprising this as
sociation are more closely allied than in
any other political organization 1 know
anything about, it has a marked influ
ence upon legislation. This is not yet
generally understood. Some of the tine
lobby work of the future may be done
through this powerful body. Being con
fined strictly to the families of the mem
bers, it is one of the most aristocratic of
the day.
ALLEGED MASONIC KEFOBMER.
The Grand Lodges of England and
America Declared Spurious.
I)r. Darius Wilson, “the Most Illustri
ous Sovereign Grand Master of the Sover
eign Sanctuary of the United States of
America,” who gave up a visit to the
Montreal Carnival in order to talk to his
friends in New York, says the New York
Ilgrald. recently explained his newly
named Jtoyat t|atonic rite.
Not more than 150 gentlemen assembled
in the great hall of the G.rtUid Opera ,
iious*. to *>•“ * ne ~ pjfopuet expound
his doctrines, On the platform were seat
ed Prof. Itawson, Dr. it. P. Gibsou and
John Hanna. i>r, W ? ilsou opened his lec
ture with the words:
“I regret to hear that a number of the
gentlemen whose names are attached to
the letter inviting me to come here and
deliver this lecture have come out in
cards denving that they authorized the
use of thefr names. I had no nand in pro
curing these names, and am sorry for the
disturbance the matter seems to have
raised in Masonic circles. Perhaps the
use of the names of those gentlemen is a
trick of the enemy. But then 1 don’t
think I have enemies. I am an apostle
of peace, yet, I say, I will tight a man if
he attacks me and still remain his friend.”
After some further introductory re
marks the speaker began his lecture
proper, which he had committed to mem
ory. In a few words he paid a high trib
ute to Masonry, and then traced the his
tory of it, going back to the ancient times
of Egypt. He said that at least half the
languages came from Egypt, and so did
the 00 degrees of the Ancient Rite of
Memphis, which tho speaker claimed
contained the entiie moral code of the
' old world. He said there had been a time
when tho initiated claimed 9,000 ancient
Egyptian degrees, but the truth about
these degrees could not be better illus
trated than by a song. He then struck a
theatrical attitude, knocked with his
hands on his chest, stroked his beard and
sang:
Mv hat has three corners
Three corners has my hat.
And ha'i it not three corners
It would not be my hat.
“My Professor who taught me this
song,” the speaker continued, “said it
contained 999 verses, but they were all
the same way, and so it is with these
9,000 degrees, they are all the same way.”
The speaker concluded by saying that the
Grand Lodge ot England and all the
grand lodges of this country were spuri
ous. "1 claim.” he said, “that no Grand
Lodge was ever organized in accordance
with ancient usage, either in Europe or
here. Therefore, in my mind, all char
ters and pretended authority of the
Grand Lodges for working Masonic de
grees are spurious and worthless; but
the Sovereign Sanctuary of America, of
which I am the Grand Master, is the only
legal and authorized body to confer the
Masonic degrees, and we are going to
work all the degrees, I assure you.”
The Squirrel ana Her Babies.
Toltdo EUuU.
Old citizens of Toledo distinctly remem
ber the time when there was au emigra
tion of squirrels iu the vicinity. On a
certain day a gentleman was on the bank
of Ten-Mile Creek when the number of
squirrels moving was unusually large.
Among the squirrels was one that exhibit
ed euch motherly care and affection for
her two little ones as to prove a most in
teresting sight. She reached the bank of
the creek where a crossing was to be
made. The little squirrels were quite
timid about going near to the water, but
the mother coaxed them until they seemed
to be satisfied to do as sho wished. She
ran along the shore, and finding a piece
of bark about a foot long and 6 inches
wide, dragged it to the water's edge and
pushed it into the water so that only a
small part of one end of the bark was
resting on the shore. She then induced
her little ones to get on the bark, and
they at once cuddled closely together,
when the old squirrel pushed the bark
and itP load into the stream, and, taking
or.o end or the bark ia her teeth, pushed
it ahead of her until the opposite bank
was reached, where the young squirrels
quickly scampered up the bank of the
creek, where the mother rested for a few
minutes, wnen the journey w s resumed.
A prominent poultry raiser says that
3,000 hens oared for in the proper tnaniu r
will show an annual profit of $2,000.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1885.
THR THREE CHAMPIONS.
Perkins, Xasby and Twain Swap
Romances.
Mark Twain and Petroleum Y. Nnsby.
says Donn Pi&it, dined with Kli Perkins
at the laVer’s residence in New York.
The conversation at that dinner 1 shall
never forget. The stories told and the
reminiscences brought out at that dinner
would fill a small book.
Alter the last course, and after the
ladies had withdrawn, the conversation
turned upon hor=es. finally Mr. Twain
laid down his cigar and asked Perkins
i and Nasby if they had ever heard of a
1 fast horse he (Mark) used to own in
i Nevada.
“I think not,” said Nasby.
“Well, gentlemen,” continued Mr.
Twain, as he blew a smoke ring and
watched it, “that was a fast horse. He
1 was a very fast horse. But he was so
tough-bitted that 1 couldn’t guide him
with a bit at all.”
•• How did you guide him?” asked Eli.
“Well, gentlemen, I had to guide him
‘ with electricity. 1 had to have wire lines
: and had to keep a battery in toe wagon all
J the time in order to stop him.”
"Wbv didn’t you stop him by hollering
who-u?” asked Eli.
“Btop him by hollering who-a!” ex
claimed Mr. Twain. “Why 1 could not
holler loud enough to make that horse
hear mo. He traveled so last that no
sound ever reached him from behind. He
went faster than tne sound, sir. Holler
wbo-a, and he'd be in tbe next town be
fore the sound oi your voice could reach
the dash-board. ‘Travel last?’ 1 should
say he could. Why I once started from
Virginia City for Meadow Cretk right
in front of one of tbe most dreadful
rain-storms we ever bad on the Pacific
coast. Wind and rain? Why the wind
blew 80 miles an hour and the raiu fell ill
sheets, I drove right before that storm
for three hours—just on the edge of that
bunicane and rain for 40 miles.”
“Didn’t you get drenched?”
“Drenched? No, sir. Why, I tell you,
I drove right in front of tna! rainstorm.
1 could lean forward and let the sun shine
on me, or lean backward and feel rain
and catch hailstones. When the hurri
cane slacked up the horse slacked ut>,
too, and when It blew faster I just said
‘g—ik!’ to the horso and touched the bat
tery, and away we went. Now 1 don’t
want to lie about my horse, Mr. Perkins,
and I don’t ask you to believe what I say,
but 1 tell you truthfully that when I got
to Meadow creek my linen duster was
dry as powder. Not a drop of rain on tbe
wagon seat either, while the wagon box
w as level full of hailstones and water, or
I'm a . a
•‘Look here gentlemen,” interrupted Mr.
Nasby, “speaking ot the truth, did you
ever hear about my striking that man in
Toledo?”
Mark said he had never heard about it.
“Well, sir, it was this way: There was
a man there—oneof those worldly, skepti
cal fellows, who questioned tuv veracity
one day. lie said he had doubts about
the truthfulness of one of tuv cross-roads
incidents. He didu’t say it publicly, but
privately, I’m sorry tor the sake of his
wife and family now that he said it at all
—and sorry for the man, too, because he
wasn't prepared to go. If he’d been a
Lhristian it would have been different. I
say I didn't want to strike the man, be
cause it’s a bad habit to get into—this
making a human chaos out of a fellow
uian. But he questioned m. veracity and
tbe earthquake came. 1 struck him once
—just once. I remember he was putting
down a carpet at the time and had his
mouth full of carpet tacks. But a man
can’t stop to discount carpet tacks in a
man’s mouth, when ho questions your
veracity, can you? I never do. I simply
struck the blow.”
“Did it hurt tie man much?” asked
Eli.
“I don’t think it did. It wns too sud
■ den. The bystanders said if I was going
to strike a second blow they wanted to
move out of the State. Now, I don’t want
you to believe me. and 1 don’t expect you
will, but to tel! you the honest truth, Mr.
Perkins. I squashed that man right down
into a door-mat, and his own wife, who
was tacking down one edge of the carpet
at the time, came ri-ht along and took
him for a gutta perchu rug, and actually
tacked him down in front of the door.
Poor woman, she never knew she was
lacking down her own husband I Wbat
became of the tacks in his mouth? you
ask. Well, the next day the boys pu’bd
them out of the bottoms of his overshoes,
and ”
“Gentlemen !” interrupted Eli, “it does
me good to hear such truths. I believe
every word you say, and 1 feel that 1
ought to exchange tiuths with you. Now,
did you ever hear how I went to prayer
meeting at New London, Conn., in a rain
storm ?”
They said they had not.
“Weil, gentlemen,” said Eli, “one day
I started for the New London prayer
j meeting on horseback. When I got about
1 half wav there, thera came up a fearful
storm. The wind blew a hurricane, the
rain tell in torrents, the lightning gleamed
through the say. and I went and crouched
dowq behind a large barn. But pretty
soon the lightning struck the barn,
knocked it into a thousand splinters ana
sent my horso whirling over into a neigh
boring corn patch,”
“Did it kill you, Mr. Perkins?” asked
Mr. Twain, the tears rolling down his
cheeks.
“No, it didn’t kill me,” 1 said, “bull
was a good deal diseou raged.”
“Well, what did you do, Mr. Parkins?”
“What did 1 do? Well, gchtlemen, to
tell the honest Connecticut truth, I went
right out into the pasture, took off my
ccat, humped up my bare back, and took
eleven clips of lightning right on my bare
backbone, drew the electricity all out of
the skv, and then got on to my horse and
rode into New London in time to lead at
the evening prayer meetiug.”

KITTENISH MARY ANDERSON.
She Chews Gum in the Pace of “Romeo”
and Breaks Him Vp with a Squint.
Mary Anderson’s feet, be they large or
small—and she has taken precious care
that no one shall ever find out, says a
London letter—have evidently skipped
lightly and merrily into the English
heart. I use the word “skipped” ad
visedly. I have no doubt it is impossible
for most persons to imagine the stately
“Galatea” skipping oc doing anything so
frivolous, but I assure you she can be
most awfully kittenish.
Three vears ago the united efforts of
her mother and Step-pa Griffin were un
availing to keep her from frolicking
around the wings and chewing gum on
the stage, She was in a chronic state of
giggle, she used to play “Juliet” with
a large piece of guui in her pretty
mouth, and all through “Borneo’s”
speeches would pull it from between her
teeth and look cross-eyed to “break him
up.” This, of course, with her back to
tho audience.
I was charitable enough to attribute
the weirdness of Atkins Lawrence’s
“Romeo” to her antics, but later expres
sion taught me it wasn’t the cum. But I
digress. I'm not writing of the great
North American lady-killer, but of Mary,
our Mary, of whom we ought to teel so
proud. And we do; only I, for one. hope
she’ll leave her gush in England and come
back to us clad in sincerity and as few of
those dowdy English costumes as possi
ble.
But there isn't much of that kind of
thing to expect from a young woman who
“just loves to sit on a' stranger’s grave
and read Willie Winter’s poems.” Men
may come and men may go, but she’ll
gush on forever.
THE HEIR OF MOUNT VERNON.
flow a Washington Died for the Con- .
federacy.
Col. John A. Washington, who had in
herited Mount Vernon and sold it to the
Ladies’ Association, says Ben: l’erley
Poore, was well known in the social cir
cles of the city which bore tie name of
his distinguished ancestor. He accepted
a commission in the Confederate army
early in the war, aDd was killed in Sep
tember, I*6l, while out on a reconnais
sance with two other officers. Secreted
in a bush by the roadside were a number
of the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment, and
as W ashington and his companions came
up the road the Indiana troops arose from
their place of concealment and fired. W ash
ington fell from bis horse on the first
round, having received three bullets, two
of which passed entirely through his body,
entering "at the right breast; and one
other of the quartette was hit, but the two
remaining unhurt managed to get him
away by supporting him on his horse.
The body of Washington was conveyed to
the quarters of Col. Waggoner. He lived
for tae space ot half au hour, and never
spoke save to utter once, “Oh my God 1”
Tne next day his body was sent to the
Confederate camp under a flag of truce.
In the pockets of AVasbingtoa was found
*IOO in United States gold currency and a
splendid gold watch. Ills dress was new
and of the most elegant make, broadcloth
coat and pants and a white satin vest.
JOE MULITATTON’S LATEST.
A Cave Ones Occupied by the Famous
John A. Murrell.
On Feb. 11, 6ays a Huntingdon (Tenn.)
letter to the Nashville World, we lett
Huntingdon for the southwestern portion
ot this county for a few days’ bird and
squirrel bunt, having for our companion
A. M. Lee, the Postmaster. Being se
curely seated behind a 2:4o(hours) thor
oughbred, we were soon on our hunting
ground. While following a rocky branch,
known as the Gin branch, we came to
where it skirtr-d the margin of a high hill.
Our setter, Charlie, made a dash at te
rabbit and both rabolt and Charlie disap
peared in the bill. Tue entrance was
what we supposed to be a crevice in the
rooks, as the margin of the bill was cov
ered with large sand rocks. In a moment
tho bats came pouring out by the hun
dreds. The weather being chilly they fell
to the ground in a stupor as soon as the
air struck them. Their slumbers bad
been disturbed by the dog. We were en
joying tne lun when, toour astonishment,
several large horu owls came flopping out.
One gave a dismal hoot as though he had
not seen daylight in years, or wished to
frighten us away. Becoming uneasy for
fearourdog could not return. Mr. Lee went
to the entrance ot tue cave. Taking a pole
and probing some six feet, he found it
made an abrupt angle to the right; the
opening was barely sufficient for a com-
mon sized tnau to enter; he groped his
way 1 until it became so dark that he re
turned and revealed the terrible news
that it opened out into what he believed
to be a large hull, and that he could hear
Charlie running around and whining, as
taough be was lost and could not find his
way out. We sent to a neighboring house
anil procured a lantern, determined to
rescue Charlie at al! hazards. With
lantern in hand, we both entered,
compelled to craw] on hands and
knees for some distance before we could
walk erect; tbe entrances turned first to
the right and then to the left, iu a zigzag
from; tiually we met Charlie, and his
bark, as it echoed and re-echoed, aston
ished us to sucu an extent that we raised
our lautern over our heads, which threw
a bright light around—we stood dumb tor
a monieut —we were shocked and horri
fied—the surroundings were revealed; we
were in a large room, ceiled on sides and
overhead with rud • clax>boarUs; before us
sat a large table with a mutilated pack of
cards in the centre; heavy wooden chairs
around the table, a couple of large and
rough shon-made knives on one corner.
' As soon as we could collect our senses
and cairn our staggered brain we found
we were in a secret cave that had once
been occupied by a band of outlaws, but
who or when was the question. In sur
veying the room, which vva9 18x18, we
found, in one corner, a black something;
holding the light close, our blood was
chilled, it was a large black man, his
skin and flesh dry as those who iu ancient
days were given passage ever Sharon; a
large and rough made chain was locked
around liis ankle and fastened to a stapie
in the floor. In the oppo-dte corner lay
the dried frame of two huge bloodhounds,
in an old and heavy wooden box was
found two old fashioned horso pis
tols with flint locks; they had un
doubtedly done service in the revo
lution ; there were also several
pair of handcuffs. We began to think
we were in the regions of the damned.
When looking on the rough wall there we
saw the “handwriting;” it was “John A.
Murrell, 1828.” We were iu the great
outlaw’s den; we could then see that the
man chained had been stolen by the bold
bandit—brought there and chained until
they could run him South and sell nim.
The presum ition is that when the cave
was deserted he was alive; the doom was
sure, but what agony be underwent —
chained and alone—his face like Milton’s
devil “grinned horribly a ghastly smile.”
The bloodhounds had been kept for tae pur-
pose of recapturing any slave that might
escape. As we were about making our
exit our companion Lee called our atten
tion, in a excited manner to another olv
ject, we turned around and he was pale
and the lantern trembling in his hand; he
pointed under the table, and there lay the
lcrm and dried frame of another human
being. Examining close it proved to be
that of a once beautiful female. She too
was chained. She had died a horrible
death—starved to death. Her long yel
low hair still clung to the dry skin on her
head, which hung m golden tresses
over her bosom that once
heaved with the breath of life, though
now cold; her once ruby lips were parted
so as to disclose a set of pearly teeth.
How camo she in a robber’s den ? She
could not have been a victim to Cupid’s
dart, if so why chain her? She undoubt
edly had been kidnapped and held lor
ransom. But our hearts grow sick as we
write. Several letters were found of a
suspicious character, but as they contain
the names of people in Middle Tennessee,
we decline to give their contents.
The discovery of the den has caused
great excitement in the neighborhood.
Numbers have visited the place, and a
few have ventured in. Mr. W. C. Blair,
ou whose land the cave is, refused to
have anything disturbed until the people
could see it. He permitted A. M. Lee to
remove the dragoon pistols, which have
John A. Burrell’s initials stamped on the
barrels. Any pbrson wishing to Bee i
them can call on him at the post office ill
Huntingdon, where he will take great
pleasure in showing them.
TRUE FASCINATION.
Matured Beauties the Reigning Queens
Over “Sweet Sixteen*.’’
The reign of very young girls over the
heart oi man is ended, says the London
Echo. “Sweet sixteen” is insipid, “fas
cinating eighteen” tame. At 25 the
young lady of the present day may be
said to be interesting, at 30 she i9 charm
ing and at 33 fascinating. But it is not
till the woman gets well into the forties
that she reaches the angelic period where
temper no longer leads the mastery, and
mature thought smoothes out the rugged
outlines of her mental life. If she under
stands the art of self preservation she may
also retain at this age the bettor part of
her physical charms, and be pretty in
spite of the years. Ninon de l’Enclo*
was regarded as a belle and a beauty at
00, and care and discretion are only
necessary to carry the beauty of youth
far into mature life.
Another custom is coming into vogue
which must lend hope to many a spinster
and widow of uncertain ago, and that is
the fashion of women marrying men
younger than themselves. Perhaps this
can hardly be called a novel innovation,
however, for it has been practiced in the
older countries for many years, and iu
Ireland has long been the custom. Dr.
Johnson married a woman old enough to
be his mother; Disraeli was many years
ids .vife’s junior, and Aaron Burr mar
ried a widow several years older than
himself. The famous Madam de Stael
was 41 when she picked up a
young officer of 20 or so, and Rachel
married Vernbagen von Ense when she
was over 40 and he in his twenties. All
of these were happy marriages, and Miss
Thackeray, Mrs. Craik. and Margaret
Fuller seemed to believe in such unions,
for they each chose comparative young
sters for matrimonial mates. Modern and
ancient unions of this kind have proved
lucky unions, and - as some of tho latter
have given a sort of tone and fashion to
custom, we may look for a tide in that
direction. If it becomes the fashion for
women to choose husbands younger than
themselves, old-fashioned folk may preach
against it in vain.
the PRESIDENT’S DOUBLE.
Mr. Arthur was Thought to Be on a
Regular Jamboree.
The habitues of the saloon at Willard’s
Hotel, says a Washington letter, were
rather shook up to see President Arthur
walk in and order a w hisky punch. From
Willard’s he strolled do wn to Shoemaker’s,
where he tossed off another punch. He
was all by himself, and the unprece
dented spectacle of the President prome
nading the avenue attracted general at
tention. Everybody courtesied, but the
President responded by a stony glare.
“Why Arthur is painting the town red!
What does it mean?” said everybody.
Down the avenue the President went,
halting at Harvey’s, where he absorbed
a gin cocktail, with three fried
oysters on a fork. By this time the
President’s face was unduly red, and his
cheeks stuck out like ripe tomatoes. But
ho bravely meandered along the aveuue
until he reached a hotel, when he again
encountered a barkeeper. Here a by
stander made bold to speak to him, ad
dressing him as “Mister President.”
“Mister who?” replied the man; “that’s
not my name; my name's Appleton. Take
sumthin?” Appleton is the caterer of a
club in St. Louis. He had left bis home
m the glowing West to incarnadine the
pule atmosphere of the East. In the
morning, with ..s elaborate toilet and
his slightly pinkish face, he w as a picture
of the President.
THE POWER OF DYNAMITE.
It ia Greatly Overestimated and Boon
to be Superseded as an Explosive.
Dynamite, in its simplest form, says the
j Cornhill Magazine, closely resembles
moist brown sugar and is uitro-glycerino
I absorbed in any inert base. It is not yet
twenty years old, having been first offered
| for sale in .June, 1867. In the form in
which it is licensed, dynamite must con
sist of 75 per cent, of nitro-glycerine and
25 t er cent. of an infusorial earth known
as kieselguhr.
Ot dynamite properly so-called there
are only two kinds, distinguished as dy
namite No. 1 and No. 2 No. lis com
posed of 75 per cent, of nitro-glycerine and
and 25 per cent, of the infusorial earth
kieselguhr; No. 2of 18 per cent. ot nitro
glycerine and 82 per cent, of a pulverized
preparation composed of nitrate of pot
ash, charcoal and paraffine; a mixture in
troduced to replace gunpowder in coal
working where dynamite No. 1 was too
powerful.
Nitro-glycerine is a very pale-yellow
oily liquid, about half as heavy again as
water. It is simply a cold mixture of one
part of nitric acid and tnrt-e parts of sul
phuric acid. It has no smell, but a sweet
aromatic ta6te,’ and, though it is not in a
suict sense poisonous, yet a single drop
placed on the tongue will almost immedi
ately produce a violent headache; even
the handling it, before the dynamite car
tridges were in 1870 wrapped in parofi
meut, would do the same. The “dyna
mite headache” is a disorder very well
known in the trade.
The discovery ot dynamite was not due,
as has been generally supposed, to acci
dent, but to direct experiment. The first
made cons sted of charcoal and nitro
glycerine, and, before the porous silica
known as kieselguhr was finally adopt and,
numerous trials were made of variops
other absorbents, such as porous terra
cotta, sawdust and ordinary and nitrated
paper soaked in the liquid explosive and
rolled into cartridges. Duriug the siege
of Paris, when the kieselguhr ran short,
the French engineers found the best sub
stitute to lie in the ashes of Boghead coal,
and next to that in pounded sugar.
The hours of the supremacy of dynamite
are numbered. The explosive of the lu
ture is undoubtedly blasting gelatine, tne
latest invention of Mr. Alfred Nobel, of
Edinburgh. Already on the continent
the manufacture of thi3 new agent has
assumed important dimensions. Many
of the latter operations ot the St. Gothard
tunnel were carried out with pure blast
ing gelatine, and iu Austria, the richest
ol all the European countries in mines,
except Great Britain, the lactones where
dynamite was formerly made are now
given over to its manufacture. It is sim
ply dynamite a banc actif, containing 03
per cent, of nitro-glycerine, with a base
of 7 per cent, of collodion w> 01, that is
itself an explosive, in place of the
inert kieselguhr. Asa blasting agent
it is mere homogeneous than dyna
mite, and on account of its elasticity, is
less seositive to out*ant impressions,
while in handling or cutting the cartridges
there is no loss of material as sometimes
occurs with dynam te. Its further ad
vantages are that the gases after explo
sion are lighter and thinner, and leave no
dust, developing at the same time more
considerable power. Taking the powerof
dynamite at 1,000 at*d nitro-glveerine at
1,411, blasting gelatine is represented by
the figures 1,556, in addition to which su
periority it is capable, unlike dynamite,
of retaining its nitro-giycerine when
brought into contact with water.
The destructive power of dynamite,
which, contrary to the common opinion,
does not act downward, but equally in all
directions, and with the greatest violence
where there is the greatest resistance,
has been gieatly exaggerated. Although
it has from five to seven times the ex
plosive power of gunpowder, it is com
paratively trifling in its effects at even
short distances. The dynamiter, with all
his daring and cunning, has, after all,
succeeded in doing us no more damage
than gas has often done before. It would
oe better for him, if he desires to con
tinue the warfare, to return to his ancient
ally gun; owder, above ground is a
much more noisy and demoralizing agent.
Dynamiters cannot by any means at
their disposal lay a whole city m ruins—
nor even a street. They mayinjure spe
cial buildings, and that is the most they
can do. The dynamite employed for these
purposes is, in the majoiity of cases, of
the kiDd known as lignin-dynamite, a
wholly unlicensed explosive composed of
i-awdust and nitro-giycerine, and in its
effects considerably weaker than that in
common use. *
.JOHN PHCENIX.
His Wonderful Fossil Discoveries at
West Fofut.
The following story in regard to Lieut.
Derby (John Phoenix, the humorist), says
“Carp,” in the Cleveland Leader, was told
me by Gen. Wm. T. Sherman. You know,
there was a few miles from West Point a
place known as Benny Haven’s where
the boys used to go to eat flapjacks and
drink flip. Benny Haven’s flip had a na
tional reputation, and his flapjacks were
delicious. The cadets, however, patron
ized Benny Haven’s to such au execs?
that the officers of the military school at
tempted to put a stop to it, and very few
permissions were granted them to
go outside of the walls of the in
stitution. Derby was in special bad
favor, and he knew that he could
not on ordinary grounds get a permit.
One time, after he had been a week or
more without a drink of Benny Haven’s
flip, be pretended a great repentance as
to his studies and gave out that he was
going to do better. The professor of geo
logy was a curious old fellow whom he
had cartooned unmercifully, and who had
a horror of him. To him Derby went, and,
with tears in his eyes, said he was sorry
that ho had wasted his time in the past,
and that in the future he intended to do
belter. He feared as it was he would not
be able to pass his examinations, but that
he wisned to use his remaining time in
the academy so that when ho went out
he would be fitted to battle with the
world, and he Intended to pay
special attention to geology. This
geological professor was an enthusiast,
and very simple and innocent withal. He
embraced Derby and congratulated him
on his resolution. During the next few
davs Derby came into the class-room with
the best of lessons. He asked many ques
tions and showed great interest in the
subject, thus winning glowing opinions
from his professor. He remained in the
cla6s-room after the lesson of the fourth
day, and told the professor tuat one of the
milkmen who supplied the academy had
been telling him of some wonderful petrifl
cations at a point away up in the moun
tains. Ho had spoken of fishes and the
tracks of birds and other specimens,
which Derby, having carefully posted
himself by tho books, said he supposed
belonged to such and such an age.
The prolessor rubbed his hands during
the relation, saying, “Yes, yes; very
likelv, very likely !” And when Derby
concluded by saying the milkman had
offered to conduct him to the place, he
was eager to have him go. On Derby’s
asserting the doubt that ho would not be
permitted to leave the academy, the pro
fessor said there would be no trouble
about that, and that he would get the
countersign and the permit. This he did,
and the next day Derby started out early
and struck out at once tor Benny Haven’s.
Here he lay around all that day, eating
flapjacks and drinking flip, and carried j
on his carouse far into the night. Early
in the morning he came back to the acad
emy very mellow indeed, bu t succeeded
in passing the guard and tumbling into
his room. As he lay down on nis bed he
happened t> think|that he must have some
explanation to give to the geological pro
fessor tor not having the specimens. He
bethought himself a moment iuul then
went do wn and picked up a couple of
stone from a pile which lay by the river
side. He brought these to his room, and
with a chisel cut into them a number of
what looked very much like bird tracks.
Going out again he rubbed these with
dirt and then came back, laid them on his
table, and went to sleep.
After breakfast he took the stores to the
professor of geology, who, by the way,
was very near-sighted, lie told him that
the milkman had tailed to keep his ap
pointment, and that he had attempted to
find the place himself. He had not dis
covered the petrified fishes nor the other
fossils described by the milkman, but he
had found these stones, with their curious
tracks, and he thereupon gave the Profes
sor a lucid explanation ot the by-gone age
to which the stones belonged, and how
antediluvian birds of a character not now
known had made these curious tracks.
His disquisition was so well put that the
Professor coincided with him. He took
the stones into the class-room that day,
and related Derby’s wonderful discove
ries. The affair was for a few days the
talk of the class, but Derby could not keep
his secret to himself and told it to one or
two of his friends. It went all over col
lege, and the result was that Derby was
suspended. He got back again, however,
after a time and was graduated.
