The cave was partly ex plored on the 14th instant, and the description given of what was to be seen, induced myself and others to make further explorations. On the 17th, we visited the cave, and crawl ing on our hands at.d knees to the per pendicular part, we descended by means of what is known as an “In dian ladder,” a distance of 18 feet, reaching a ledge of rock ; then, by the aid of another ladder, a distauce of feet, to where the descent was not I so steep as to require ladders. On reaching the bottom we lighted our J torches and proceeded to thoroughly explore this mysterious cavern. The first tiling that attracted my attention was the print of a man’s foot, no doubt au Indian’s, imprinted on the dry clay. The track was unusually large and very plain, showing dis tinctly the print of every toe, the hol low of the foot and the heel. A little to the left of this, was the track of a bear and also one of a panther. These tracks were very distinct, and looked as if they had just been made, though there is no doubt they were made many years ago. A little further on we discovered the trail of a deer, and following it we discovered its carcass upon a ledge or bank. The deer, no however, soon put the figures up to several dollars, when the box and con tents were knocked down to a specu lative individual who runs a family grocery in the southern portion of the city. After the sale had terminated the lucky purchaser called a dray and had his box hauled home and carried into his store, where he seized an ax and began to pry the lid of the box off. The expectation of finding something valuable and the desire to have some body to congratulate him upon his good fortune, induced the purchaser to call in one or two of bis frieuds to see his Pandora box opened. As cord after cord was cut and nail after nail was loosened, the purchaser’s hand showed the nervousness that was in creasing in his system. His friends perceived a peculiarly disagreeable odor arising from the box, and as it was quite strong quietly left the room without waiting to say good bye to the owner of the box. In a moment more the lid of the box flew off, and there packed in charcoal, lie the corpse of a human being. The purchaser, trembling, closed the lid of that box and left iiis store ; he hardly knew what to do, but felt that he could not rea lize enough out ot that corpse to pay him even the principal of his invest ment. RICHARDSON INTERVIEWED. Proceeding to the store of Mr. Rich ardson, the recent happy but now dis consolate purchaser, interviewed that gentleman, but first wanted to exact a “Everybody has influence, even i c . orn brc * d “<* common doings, having au idea .l:ij il J • .- . i*. 11 • , • | that borrowing 0 f his carpet bagging Pvthiaa was that child, pointing to a little girl in j expensive mode of g-tting a living, an) be- her father’s arms. lieviug that the fifty dollars so jauntily ciphered « That’s tniP ” r-riod the man ! up *£*““*1 him should really ho about thirty— i nat s true, cnea tne man. j though the whole fillliBcial a ,uddie was muc. be At tn0 C1OS6, he S&id to the lecturer, ) yond his skill in arithmetic.

As I approached the public house one night, hearing a great noise inside, she said: “ Don’t go, father!” “Hold your tongue, child !” “ Please, father, don’t go !” “ Hold your tongue,” I said. “ Presently a big tear fell on my cheek. I could not go a step further, sir. I turned round and went home, and have never been in a public house since—thank God for it. I am now a happy man, sir, and this little girl has done it all; and when you said that even she bad influence, I could not help saying, * That’s true, sir! All have influence.’” What is Home?—“Home,” says Robertson, in his Sermons, “ is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self- defence, and where we pour out the unreserved communication of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkardness, and without any dread of ridicule. Let a man travel where he will, home is the place to which “ his heart un trammelled fondly turns.” He is to double all pleasure there. He is to divide all pain. A happy home is the bis unpainted and badly bruised door. Mach uf his time be passed in wandering up and down the streets, like a dog who has lest his master, or in staring in at the doois of crowded hot is which he did not dare to enter. He would have been over joyed to meet Jack Hunt, even tiiough tiiat indi vidual bad charged him five dollars lor the privi lege and called it ten. If he had known hew to write, he would have written to his wile ; aud if he conld have found a prayer-meeting, he would have gone in and had a nap. But during the second evening of this weari some leisure and grandeur, just as this dusky Faust had decided teat (he joys of office were n. t comparable to bunting pos-ums, or even h.i. ing sweet potatoes, he was effected uy the arrival of his lobbying Mephistopheies. “Come along,” said Jack Hunt; “it nine o'clock and the Governor has ga-sei up " Pompey, who was gettiug to bed on the suppo sition that nothing jovial could happen that night, immediately tore on his coat and boots again, and hurried after his Iriend to the gubernatorial man sion, fearful of getting there too late. What with waging at the rate ot four milesom hour, and speculating over the august and alarming myste ry to cotue, at the rat* of a thousand mil s a min ute, he was absolutely breathless as he ascended the broad granite steps and passed before the great oaken door He was more terrified at the idea f entering that palsee of lights aud luxury than he would have been at the prospect of going to jail; and when a sprucely dressed mulatto waiter show ed him in and tool, his hat. ho was in astute to offer to brush that condescending creature’s hoots Glancing down the wile hull and into the spa cious parlors, be was not so much relieved as amused at discovering dozens and scores, and it seemed to him hundreds, of colored perple, some of them as finely attired as the house servants whom he had been accustom d to soe at the doors of the white quality, and others as rough and uncouth and boorish as himself, but all apparently quite at home. “Why ! they’* niggers here,” he exclaimed, in his field-hand astonishment. “Of course.” laughed Jack Hunt. “Didn’t I tell you so ?’’ “Yes, I allow you tole me so,” admitted Pom pey. “But I didn’t think it was so, suro.” “Coine along,” said the carpet-bagger. "Here's your chum, aud I’ll introduce you.” They approached a tall, elderly negro, 80 gaunt in figure, arid with such a small head, and so sum single spot of rest which a man has j b . rel * ‘ nd . ,f loss % cUd in lining black bomba- j . » zine, that he put Pompey in mind of a turkey buz- 1 UpOIl tlHS earth for the cultivation of zard. more especially as he walked with a limp Father Abel, hold on,” observ doubt, had fallen in from the top, and promise of secresy. He then, in a nervous and agitated manner explain ed what he had found the contents of his box to be, aud said: ‘Now you know, Richardson, I did n’t come down after wandering around through the dark passages, had finally climbed up on this bank and there died of starva tion. We also found the bones of a very large turkey, the thighbone of I here to buy a funeral, aud I don’t want which measured ten inches in length.! one, notwithstanding I’ve got a corpse.’ Drug Stores.

We now turned our attention to the rocks surrounding us, which for beau ty and grandeur, are unsurpassed.— These were of every shape and form, some in spires as white as snow, oth ers resembling large snowy looking pillows, while some on the walls ap peared as though carved by the ablest artists into many various beautiful shapes. The rooms vary in height from ten to forty feet or more, some being so high we could not see the roof. They are from ten to forty feet the in width. Upon the floor of some of these rooms are masses of rock, which have evidently fallen from the roof, and will weigh five or six tons. We had only been exploring one of the many passages of this singular cave, and having proceeded about a half mile, not having sufficient light for further explorations, we cut our names on the walls and returned. Richardson, with a smile that was childlike and bland,” replied that it was a very serious matter for a man to have a corpse boxed up in a mysteri ous manner, in his house, and suggest ed that the Chief of Police would be a good person to appeal to. The Chief was accordingly called in, and the matter laid before him. He suggested that the Coroner be notified to liuld an inquest for the purpose of inaugurating a judicial investigation iuto the causes of death. tONER REFUSES TO HOLD AN INQUEST. We understand that when the Cor oner was notified of the case, aud given such facts as were known con cerning the same, he refused to hold an inquest or have anything whatever to do with the case. The course pur sued by the Coroner appears to us to he highly censurable, and certainly unwarrantable in the premises. It is his duty to hold inquests upou all cases where there is reason to suppose crime has been committed, or where the cause of death is unknown. SPECULATIONS IN THE CASE. Some one suggested that the corpse was that of some Chinaman who had died at some of the mining camps in Idaho, and had been sent hither to be forwarded to China, as is an honored ! custom among the Heathen Chinee. This may he the case, but the proba bilities are against anything ot the kind, because the Chinese have too great a reverence for their dead to send them from the interior to the sea coast and then never call for them. Fully as reasonable theory would be that there had been A DIABOLICAL MURDER Committed at some point at present longer his wife; she must go hack to j unknown, and that the murderer or her father’s house. But suppose an murderers had boxed up the corpse Englishman marry a woman, aud she j and sent it away.

Suppose she should disobey him—what does he? He says to her, “By Allah 1 I will leave you.” And if she disobeys three times, she is no Livery and Stale Stables. 7- W.

He can do l othing ; he must keep her, and must not take any other woman to wife to comfort him. Ah ! the Arab custom is better than the English cus tom ; and the Arab women are better for the men than the English women. I am sure of that. Fruit is the thing, and that man who lives in the love of God and char ity, shows by his fruit that he has the right faith fur him. That is valuable believing that makes right living., I believe that, as a formative power, cer tain beliefs are better than others; put Bouisby, after she had been murdered in his house, and in the present in stance we believe it right to make a thorough and sifting investigation. IT IS NOT TOO LATE. And we assert that it is not too late; and hereby publicly call upon the Coroner to hold an inquest aud to call in the aid of the detective police to ferret out where the remains came from, who sent them to this city, and all the particulars concerning the nut ter. It may he found that there is nothing wrong in the matter, and that there lias bten no murder committed, his noble sensibilities.” Woman's Power.—Those disasters which break down’the spirit of a man, and prostrate him in the dust, seem to call fortli all the energies of the softer sex, and give such intrepidity and ele vation to their character, that at times it approaches to sublimity. Nothing can be more touching than to behold a soft and tender female, who had been all weakness and dependence, and alive to every trivial roughness, while threading the prosperous paths of life, suddenly rising in mental force to be the comforter and supporter of her husband under misfortune, and abiding with unshrinking firmness the bitter est blasts of adversity. Thank God for the Sabbath ! Af ter six weary days of toil and care, and business anxiety, how delightful is the coming of the Sabbath ! The wheel of Ixion ceases in its turning revolu tions ; the stone of Sisyphus pauses upon the hillside ; the back is eased of its burden; the mind is lifted from the thoughts of daily cares and avo cations to the contemplation of higher and more ennobling themes. The Sabbath is a glorious institution. To the beast at the plough ; to the arti san in his workshop; to the chemist in his laboratory ; to the professional man amidst his books; and to the au thor with his pen—comes the Sabbath with a like blessing unto each. The Exile of Pius IX.—The At lantic cable brings another of the re ports which have been so frequent of late about the intended desertion of Rome by the Pope. It is now assert ed that the jewels and other portable property in the Vatican are ready for removal, and that Pius IX. on leaving the Eternal City will go to Trent in the Tyrol. This town belongs to Aus tria, aud is situated on the Adige, about seventy miles northwest from Venice. It is an Alpine valley, is in a well built town, has a Bazantine Ca thedral dating from 1212, and is noted as the place where (m the red marble church of St. Maria Magiore) the fa mous Council of Trent held its ses sions. During the middle ages Trent was a free city, governed by Prince- Bishops, like Treves and Mayence. Its Latin name was Tridentum, and our lives would be spent in vain were we not aware that “it was supposed to d Jack limit, slapping the back of the bombazine co >t. “This is I’onip Howard, tiie member from Alligatorville. You are chums in the same bouse, and ought to be thiek with each o’lier. He’s my own mau, is Howard : I put him in, and I bet on him ” •I dessay you had good reason to, Mr, Hunt,’’ responded Father Abel, inspecting Pomp's exteri or with a Jubilating eye, as the gli he had fre quently seen better, and then agiin had seen worse. “I’m exceedingly glad to welcome hnn here, an’ hope for the pleasure of bis further acquaintance' Aud if he is tarryin’ in the same edifice with me, I shall be happy to have him in to players in the eveuin’, an’ for that matter, you too, sir.” “Oh, lie’ll come and take a front seat, ’ guffaw- the lobbyist, in a style which seemed to say that the prayers were a good joke on ii pr -s utative Howard, but not a pleasantry with which he pro posed to burden bis owu attention - “And now, Daddy Abel,” he continued, drawing the reverend gentleman aside, “how about that little bill of mine ? What’s to be put into the iiat for going for it 1 Come, now, don’t be too hefty - on me Mr. Abel.” “You knows, Mr Hunt, that I never takes any thing for myself,” re.umed Daddy Abel, in an unctious wh sper which was not meant for Pom pey Howard’s ears, but which did nevertheless stumble iuto them, they beiug of unusual lengih and other dimensions. “Oh. I know your style,” grumbled the carpet- bagging innocent, in a tone which hinted very plainly, I wish I didn’t - •‘Hut they’s a little speck of a mortgage on iny poo’ flock, an’ which I d like to get lifted." “Is it the same mortgage that I fitted last ses sion 7’ demanded Jack Hunt with a look of pro found disgust. “Y’is—lie—lie !’’ rather awkwardly chuckled Daddy Abel "That is,” be pursued, resuming bis turkey-buzzaid solemnity, - it’s the same pile o’ money.” “Why, that’s another five hundred dollars,” ex claimed Jack. “Confound it, I’d much rather set tle squarely with you than have you come th.s ec clesiastical euchre on me with your blasted old meeting house mortgage. Coine now, Father Abel, I can’t stand it. The hand of the Lord is altogether too heavy on me." “I has my own ideas of what’s right an’decent,” responded Daddy Abel in a stubborn, meek voice. “I has a character to uphold, you mtis’ remember. Besides they’s heaps o’ money in this railroading business o’ youru. Some folks t ils me they’s as much as a million in it.” “There ain’t,” almost roared, and altogether lied Jack Hunt. “There ain't ten thousand dol lars in it, nor five thousand. Well, come now, how many cau you rope in 7 How many votes 7" “I think about twenty of the hrettiring would follow my lead,” muttered Daddy Abel. “Well, go it then,” graut' d the carpet-bagger. “I’ll let you have the live hundred. Give you a check as soon as the bill comes up.” As one result of this conversation, Pompey Howard decided that the five debars which had been advanced to secure his own vote during the entire session, must be con-i .ered a very incom plete raward of virtue. He bad not mustered courage, however, to state this conclusion to Mr Hunt before the latter grasped him by the elbow with his usual “Come along." By this time the nu mber from Alligatorville was a little more at ease than when he first entered up on the splendors am! marvels of the gubernatorial mansion. Nevertheless, the spectacle around him made him open his eyes as wide as if lie were g«z ing upon the objects aud personages of fairy laud. If all the colored people present bad put on white robes and gone up through the ceiliug in chariots of fire, they could not have amazed him more than they did by the free and easy style in which they conducted themselves in this palace, and the hail fello *,well met air with which they treat' d wliite folks. i He saw one negro whistling; another task in sensations as if erory carl in bia wool were a jews- harp. and all these jewabarpa were combined in an orchestra which played simultaneously every jig in creation. Thioga went on in hia brain in a cross-over-and-down-the-middle style, as if it were the dance-room of a sailor boarding house, and the crew of a frigate had just been paid off in the neighborhood. His tongoe was loosed, like tlist of Balaam’s ass. and he talked as glibly as that quadruped, though leas wisely. Ka whistled, and showed off a step or two of hia favorite break down, and slapped perfectly unknown lawgivers on the shoulder, and laughed like seven thunders littering their voices. At last his two millions of jewabarpa ravealed to him r message to the effect tbat he ought to walk with a white lady. The Speaker's wile was that evening flirting miscellaneously with the col ored members, for tbe purpose ef securing her husband's re-election to his honorable and liters tiv • position. So for half a minute Pompey How ard promiDaded among the stars with the white kid glove of a godless fashion just teaching tbs sleeve of his slop-sbop coat. ‘Have you been presented to the Governor ?” asked the Speaker's wife, who had sorrowfnlly ac quired a knack of getting rid of people, and who was determined to get rid of the member from AN igatorville, if she bad to pash him out of s win dow. “No. Whsr is be T” answered Pompey. falling into the trap, th«ngh bo wanted to walk mere with the white lady. So the Speaker's wife introduced him to the Governor, who shook hands with him and beamed on him as if he loved him, and then aa quick as lightning introduieJ him to a particular friend of his, whose business it was to tote off colorsd mein i ers and dump them at a distance, aa if they were so many loads of garbage. Just as Pompey found himself damped, the doors of the supper room were thrown open. Im mediately there was such a rush as there used to be into the dining halls of American hotels, in the good old times when the gentlemanly proprietor always set half a dozen chair* less than were nec esaaiy to seat his guests The white members and the colored all ran and rampaged together, as if it were understood that tbe devil had a claim te the hindenuost. It was like a dam breaking away and carrying with it an ice flood. The sapper room was packed before the first man could swal low a pickled oyster, and the crush, particularly around the tables, was enough to make dough of a Him. CTOs. Every lawgiver took hia brother by the collar, and thrust bis elbow under bis tilth rib. and did lor him. Then came such a laying en of bands and snclt a devouring, as if a 1 the hungry giants of nur sery rhyme ha 1 been let loose on His Excellency’s feed Honotable gentleman ladled np jellies and raked in cakes and oranges, aa if they were spa ding rice-swamp mud, or hoeing sweet potatoes.— Ice cream went like the snow-flake on the river, a moment white, then gone forever. Saucers of floating-island struggled to and fro in the air, their I contents slopping over heads and coat collars and ' coat-tails and into sleeves, as tbe sacred oil ran j down Aaron’s bear 1 and vestments. One whits i dignitary hadjust filled a plate with Injuries for I Ins wife, when a dusky hand of destiny descended ! upon it like a hawk upon a June bug, and remov- I ad it from his wondering sight. It was considered I a good joke by some legislators (no doubt as being symbolical of the way things went in politics) to abstruct the bananas from dishes which other lcg< ialators were bearing away. The statesman who bad made a levy on the cigartbox waa justly pun ched lor his maiveision by losing a whole basket uf sugarplums, over which bis mouth was already watering. Into this melse Pompey Howard plunged with the commingled joy of a strong man who knows his ftrerigth, arid of a hungry ti an who see* his supper. More than one Caucasian coin had rea- s m to tue the hour when it made acquaintance with the weighty and widespread hoof of tbe member from Alligatorville. It was an unexpected opportunity, but one perfectly adapted *0 his pow ers of avenging the wrongs and scorns of centu ries. in a general way colored muscle was tri umphant in the combat, easily bringing Indo-Eu ropean muscle to grief, and thereby nourishing itseif with great liberality, though at an txpense of much china. Pompey, for instance, smashed two plates and a goblet iu the process of devouring a peck ot good.es and drinking half a bottle of chain pagne. Of course, when conversation recommenced af- t< r supper, he could take very little intelligent ac count of it, owing to his private orchestra of jews- h '.rps, He did, however, succeed in making out that some of bis brother Solons ware absurdly in dignant because certain newspapers had charged the i egi-lature with corruption. “What's that ar f” asked Pompey, breaking in to the ring of talkers. “Doe* the papers say we Stole “Tnat’s what they says,” returned Daddy Abel spunkily, for he was a little anxious about his mort- CALL m SEE US !

If Pius IX. should leave Rome it would only be as a temporary expe dient, for he firmly believes that in time the present Italian Government will be overthrown, and that the Pontif, if driven into exile, will ulti mately return in triumph, as he did from Avignon, in France, over live centuries ago.

It's time to steal. I never stole yet—'ceptin a chickeu or two now and then—but I means to. White folks has been stealra’ from me an’ from all the rest of us since we was bawu. Has we ever got anythin’ we ever worked tor f No we hasu't. White folks stole all we ’arneit, an’ paid us iu lickin'*. Now it's my chance to steal from them, an' I'm jest a gwine ter do it, you bet yer money.” “Come, come, Brother Howard,” expostulated Dad dy Abel. "Tliiskindo' talk won't do in public. It hurts the cause.” •You let it alone,” responded Pompey, jerking away fiointhe reverend buzzard, and glaring at him wun a kind of honest indignation. “You’* had five hun dred dollars, an’ you’e gwine ter git in ag'n. I haiu’t had hut five,and I won't Stan’ it I want* fire hun dred dollars for my vote, too. Where’s Jack Hunt? Oh, here you i*. Now you hear me? You give me five hundred dollars, or i’ll go back on you. They’s a inillinu in your bill; I heerd Daddy Abel say so. You jess give me a paper for five hundred dollars; you jess give it to me right yere, whsr you elan', or else you shan’t have my ticket. That's so. “Oh, you shut up,” returned Jack Hunt, with the cotdness of the wicked. “You’ve had too much chain- pague, and don't ku.-w what you're talking about.” “Yes, 1 does anow too,” insisted Pompey, hi* or chestra playing higher aud higher. “You )ess tell me right squar' off went yot's gwine ter do. You giveine a paper, or you doesn’t get iny ticket.” "Well, come along, then,” said the carpet-bagger, becoinmg thoroughly angry with this spoil-sport, but wisely hiding his wrath. “Come iuto a corner with me, and let's arrange matters.” Once out of theciowd, and beyond the hearing of indiicteet legislators, Jack Hunt opened savagely upon tne member fioiu Ailigatorville. “Get out of this,” he hiae-d. “You’ve blown off steam enotigti. You are a blasted fool, and can't be trusted. It you had shown anatom of tense or prin ciple!!), you conld have kept year seat, and made a pile out it. Now you've lost it. Tbe other man claims it, and lie s brought his claim up here, and I shall back him. Your election wasn t worth a cost, and I Jin prove it.” And prove it he did.

The corpse was sent to this city from some point iu Idaho or Montaua Territory, coming down the river from Walla Walla. It arrived here a year ago, aud has been lying in the ware house of the Oregon Steam Navigation Compauy ever since, aud was at last sold for freight and warehouse charges. And now tbat there is a mystery to unravel, we hope the police will set to work and demonstrate their acute ness and shrewdness as detectives. Tbe latest feminine kid boot has buttons on both sides, impartially. tbe Chicago relief bill pending in Con gress. The Washington correspondent of Chicago Times says that these gentle men met with a remarkable reception from the President. They found him standing in the corner of the reception room with a knit brow, and as they thought an expression of implacable enmity on his face. As soon as the purp.se of the visit had been stated, Gen. Grant informed his visitors that he would like to know why he should be appealed to by Chicago for help when the two Senators from Illinois were opposing him; after which he gave veut to an avalanche of invectives against the Chicago Tribune. As the leading member of the delegation was Gov. Bross, one of the proprietors of the Tribune, this ill-timed ebullition of personal spite was regarded as a gross insult to all the visitors, who at once withdrew in a decideuly unpleas ant frame of mind. among elfs and trolls Pompey oatue to a sid room, the sight ot which cheered him like the sight of a comer grocery.

Behind the tab.e vvtie too daiidi- ried colored gentlemen, who waited on a horde of members and lobbyists in trotH ot it.

Pompey saw one man and brother take a cigar, light it, loiitig- ab'i ut the room with his Lauda behind him, ap> proacb the table agaiu, ieau against it in a guile iess way, run a big fist into one oi the box- s, take out a giab ot cigars, stick them into his coat- ail pocket, and resume his sauntering. Catching the eye of this seif-helpful fellow-creature, Pompey could not help going off into a spasmodic snigger, wtiereu;on the tellow-creature also sniggered iu a shamefaced tasbiuu, and then recovering his ge>f- possession winked knowingiv. “Walk op aud fill np,” said Mentor Hunt, poor ing sut champagne for bis Ttlemacbue, and ta king a goblet ot it. “Eveiything is free, and the Governor pays, and the State pays him ” Pompey had never before drank champagne, but bis lifelong studies in whiskey euabrad him to master the secret iu the first jump, and he irre trievably damaged a quart bottle of Mumm’s Im perial. Tbe result was that be soon became such s cheerful uian and brother, that if all tbe other inhabitants of this footstool had been in tbe same condition, it would have been tbejoliyest toots to 1 under the cauopy.
