POUND BEPOIUS. /§ ‘ Fifty years ago, when the Chero kee Indians were still in possession of the fair hunting-grounds ol Ala hama, says a Fort Payne (Ala,' special to the Chicago Times, In dlan tradition told ot a great care in the Lookout mountain, in whoso chambers was the tomb of a “Man, Itou,” or Great Spirit, this particu, lar one being known as “The Groat Storm Spirit.” Tho legend runs that when the world was young the Cumberland mountains left, the bleak north and journeyed south, ward. They /reached ithe broad Tennessee river, and the more tim id were afraid to cross. But tho Lookout, more bold and larger than her sisters, stepped aoross the river and remained, tho only great mountain south of the Ten nessee, where her great length stretches from Chattanooga eighty, seven miles southwest. But she was sad when she found none of her sisters had courage to follow her, and wept from her thousand eyes- the thousand springs that burst from the mountain. Bido. .One of these springs, in its eternal grief, wore away with its dropping tears great channels and rooms in the mountain’s bosom. On the crest Of Lookout the storm spirit dwelt for ages. When at last he died his kindred spirit laid his body to rest in the cave in the bosom of the mountain, where away from the sunlight, but beside murmuring waters, they heaped a tomb upon which should ever fall the eternal tears of grief and carve out fantas tic forms for companionship in his endless sleep. Such was the beautiful legend which the Cherokeos told of the cave in explaining ils presence to the whites who came among them. Far in its interior is still seen the name of Milo Smith, surgeon at tho fort in the valley, with the dato of July 19, 1883. During tho war great quantities ol earth were dug from it and leached lor the saltpe ter it contains, to make powder for tlie Confederate Government. At the point where they ceased dig ging the marks of tlio pick <u*e as though work was done there yester day. Tho place has been known but little beyond its own neighbor hood, where what tho natives call “rock bouses” are common along tho mountain side. Within a few months, however, a new comer began to explore it,’oleqred. the path of its worst obstructions, and gave names to most of the beauti ful formations and rooms. Once ortwiso local papers have given partial descriptions of it, but this is the first detailed account yet written. Although the farthest point yet explored is thought not to exceed one and a half miles from the entrance, the fact that the stream which runs its wholo length is still of large volume at the end, together with the peculiar forma tion of tho mountain on the other side, impresses one with the belief that a little work of cxploratioa Will disclose new chambers and galler ies of an-extent that will render those now known merely antccham- bors to new subterranean wonders. The mouth of the cave is on tho west of Lookout mountain, ono hundred feet from the base, and about one thousand feet below the summit at this point, and a mile from the town, overlooking tho rich and beautiful Little Willis val ley, through which runs the Ala bama Great Southern road. Bight in u great cliff of limestone is an opening of about eight feet square. From the interior Aowb forth a strong current of air of about 41 degrees, too cold to encounter at once after a brisk walk. The torch-bcarers arrange long splints of “fat” pine, tvfo or threo together, light them, and when the party has recovered a normal temperature, enter the great ante-VooAiy which descends gently for about fifteen s level ol of tho main or up- leave for New Yolk ou or about tho tat of August anil remain there during the Dried Fruit season.

The air within soon becomes pleasant, the thermometer standing at 65 to 70 ucgrccs. Although a stream passes through the entire length, except at points where it finds passage underneath great rocks or banks of earth, tlidro is but little mud. But little work or; ’Hi*" 89 would stable oite to walk dry shod throughout,] j f 1 Passing from the anteroom through a narrow entry !n the rocks, anil along the shelf of tho gallery, the tomb of the Manitou i* the first object of interest. It is a great stalagmite, perhaps twenty fret in height, in the exact shape of the “Indian mouads” through out the Mississippi and Ohio val leys, a tumulus whose shape must have sugested the legend to the In dian imagination. The visitor stands almost on a level with its top, the base being down bulow. It is as regular in form ns if carved out by a sculptor tor a royal mau soleum. Passing along the narrow ledge beyond, closely hugging the wail on the right, the flaring light ol the torclics fail to reach the dopth of the Cimmerian darkness below, and but dimly touches the high ceiling above, it is about eighty feet from top to bottom, and tho spiee of real danger in the journey adds its piquancy to the trip for about twenty-five feet. Next comes “the cathedral,” where the lofty Gothlo arches formed by the down-hanging stalactites invite religious contemplation. The “stalls of tho monk9,” at the side formed by thin, jutting wings of stone, add to the illusion. Just a step further a slight descent leads to the “baptistry,” the halt of a trunicated coneJJ flungjagainst the side of a rock, six feet across at the base, the top a basin full of water so pellucid that only when the light is held close it cau be seen, a spring of water, cool, limpid arid refreshing. Still further down the musical murmur ot tho stream calls (attention to a tiny oasoadc, where the water dashes down a do- scent of ten feet in its rocky hod. Returning to the gallery above, tho visitor comes to “Giants’ hail,” where is the counterpart of Her- oules extended on a hugo couch, near ilia great arm chair. Here is the “Dromedary,” a stalactite, per fect in overy hump. Below it hangs a wreath of flowors. In recess to the left is “The Hall of Statuary.” Leaving these, the guides cry out “Look un!” and lift their torchos. Tho oeiiing scorns studded with Btars. It is naturo’a frescoing. Beyond is the stalag mite of “Tho Owl.” JuBt ahovo the entranco of the next room arc seen two lambs reclining. From the ceiling depends a masked face. Hero a gallery, almost an exact counterpart of a railroad tunnel, leads to the muBic room. A hori zontal wing ot stone gives forth a roaring sound liko a drum when struck. With care in selecting the places for tho blows, tho whole mu sical scalo may be sounded. Farth er on are the “pipes of the organ,” with a loft behind and above filled with a choir inclosed by stalactites hanging in folds like a curtain. Passing above a small lake is seen a hanging basket, close by what a farmer would know as tobacco, hung in a drying-barn, while a per fect alligator is outlined in the ceil ing, which is supported near by by a huge pillar from the floor. Tho face of “Tho Old Man of the Moun tain” confronts the visitor next, whilo beyond a hugo frog contem plates a leap into a placid pool be low. Thu entrnneo of the next room is guarded by “The Bear and Cub,” whilo sido by sido is “Tho Eagle” and the huge “Horse’s Head,” with the mouth open as if to seise on the intrepid mortal who would penotrate the mysteries of the mountain. Beyond is “The Ball-room,” whore a wide chamber affords ample opportunity for terp- sichorcan exercise. Oil the right, above the stream, rises “The Castlo of the Rhine,’’ a stalagmite model in exact pattern. In tiro “Dressing- room” are many beautiful forma tions. At the farther end of the lofty ball-room is seen the “Organ Loft.” Next is "Stalactite Hall," (Hied with beautiful formations, among them an exact imitation of a petrified stump, with broken seotions of the fallen tree below. This is the end of the gallery so far as explored. Indications, how ever, point to rooms beyond, to what extent can only be conjectur ed. Returning beyond the ball-room a lower gallery is entered own the right, at the entrance of which is an Indian idol in nature’s on hand. Next is the “Bunk of Frost,” a great mass that glistens in the light ike diamonds, the brightest object Been in the cave. “The Throne- room" is next, right under the “Hall of Statuary," p grand and beautiful stalagmite that would form a fitting seat for the Manitou while living. Above it depends the stalactite of the “Elephant," complete, with howdah and trap pings. In front of the elephant Is a great wreath of dowers in masses. The main hall is re-entered by a tomb, at the top of which is “Fat Man’s Misery." Hero the explor er must travel on bands and knees through a narrow bole, much like the transom of s door, at the bot tom of the upper gallery. Forth- remainsof former lunches show- how appropriately it was named. Near by is the “Barroom,” with the bottles on the shelves. This is right under the tonfb. A rock struck gives back loud resonance. A pistol shot re-echoes through tho vaulted lofty chambers Ilk*, a cannon. Climbing up the inoline to the base of the tomb, 1 the sides of the gallery sYe hung with ’great bunches of bananas and other trop ical fruits. Here are seen, beauti fully illustrated, the fqrupptio^ of both stalactites and stalagmites in ail their various stages. Water drips from above and deposits car bonate of lime, atom by atom, both above and below. , Tjjosajentifle student will here find much to in terest him. The end is almost reached. Hours have been spont in tbeoave. In places it- has . required hard work. None of the, partyi.fl 0 ™- plain ot chilliness. Coming around - a corner, tho foremost ones but, "I see daylight.” Fifty feet above us the evening sun shines in. Bars of silvery light shimmer the en trance and fill the great apt?rpoms with a mellow radiance that seoms to take on a violet hue as'tt strug gles downward. Walking' ttt' 'the outside, the daylight takes on new glory to tbo eyes from the contfast. A few steps outside of tlteicool air from the cave am* thqW ,^ ,?f the summer day strikes the face like a furnace blast, compelling { a recoil to the mouth of the date for a few moments before > taking -up the lino qf march to the village.
