Th*> Newly Found Kentucky Cave—
It ri Cntecomba, Mummies
and Masonic Emblems.
Grsyson Advocate.
Tbe great cave recently discovered
tere has been visited by a moltitade
of people from various points of tbe
United States. We think that Litch
field is destineed to become the great
“Mecca” of the world—for the Mason
ic fraternity and scientists generally.
for the last two weeks no one has
been admitted to the cave except up
on presenting a written permit from
Mr. Rogers, and those who. have been
fortunate onough to obtain admission
Lave been principally scientist from
abroad, who journeyed here to see tbe
great wonder for themselves. It was
necessary to take this step, as the
cave was rapidly being despoiled of
its contents. Indeed, several of the
mummies and some of the smaller
Masonic emblems were carried off be
fore Mr. Rogers—or, in fact, any of
our'eitizeus—realized the importance
of tbe discovery, and of preserving
tbe contents of the cave intact. The
subterranean river has been so swolen
from the excessive rains of tho last
month that no explorations have been
made in the avenues beyond. Exca
vations have been made, however, in
tbo chambers or catacombs where the
mummies and Masonic emblems were
found, and in-the vicinity of the pyra
mid, and several tablets with queer
hieroglyphics have beon dug up, also
somo bronze and copper vnses, and
pieces of pottery. A mound was
opened and found to contain six well
preserved mummies, reposing in reg
ular order with feet radiating from
tho centre.
In tbo discovery of this cave the key
is undoubtedly found that will unlock
tbe mystery of tbe prehistoric race of
America, and also prove their identi
ty with tho ancient Egyptian race,
who undoubtedly crossod over and
peopled this continent, built temples,
and flourished in a high degree of civ
ilization until wiped out of existence
by the ruthless hand of the savage.—
The caves of Kentucky undoubtedly
afforded them shelter aud protection,
and were used as a sort of catacomb
for the storage of all that was uenr
and dear to them, including their il
lustrious dead. Such, at least, seems
to have been tbo case in this instance,
whether this theory wjll apply to the
other caves of Kentucky or uot.
Many beautiful formations have
means of charity swept away witb tbe
means of livelihood. We must help
and help at once. It is better to send
money to Memphis, Mobile, New Or
leans aud othor cities where provis
ions and elotbiug may be bought than
to wait to send food and clothing. It
is possible that more may have to be
aid there than here for supplies, but
tell you tbe people can’t wait for
provisions to reach them from here.
THE STARVING BLACKS.
“ There are thousands of negroes
who are homeless and starving, and
they most be fed, and what is more,
we have got to feed them. There is
enough food in tbe South that can be
bought to keep them going until we
can send more from the North. It
should be sent by rail, as the steam
ers are too slow. These people mast
eat and they have nothing.”
a mormon bishop
Spits it out Venomously at a Fa-
, neral.
Salt Lake Tribune.
At the funeral of the unfortunate
girl who was buried yesterday after
noon, Bishop Sperry, of tho Fourth
ward, after attributing tho demorali
zation of the young people to Gen
tile influences, broke out as follows:
“These people who have come
among us are trying to make tbe
young people who have been born in
polygamy feel that they are brandod
with a mark of shame—that polyga
my is disgraceful. Polygamy is not
disgraceful—it is honorable, and we
will never give it up. Wo will fight
until we spill tbo last drop of blood in
our voins to preserve polygamy. I
want you young men to understand
this. You must fight to defend po
lygamy. You must be willing to shed
every drop of your blood in its de
fense. Polygamy can never be put
down, and those who are trying to
make laws against it will find out that
we mean what we say.”
These remarks were delivered in a
loud voice, aud with much violence of
manner. However inappropriate they
may have been at a funeral, they are
doubtless in perfect accord with the
spirit of this holy religion.
The Cause ot Baldness.
Galveston Nows.
At a social gathering on Austin av-
enuo not long since, the subject of
bald beads came up for discussion.—
Old Colonel Swines, who is balder
thftn a watermelon, and has buried
five wives, said it was perfectly plain
to him why men had less hair on their
heads than women. He was asked to
explain, which he did, thus:
“You see, gentlemen, when a man
gets mad he pulls his own hair nut.
and when his wife gets mad she pulls
out wlmt there is left of it. It is a
mystery to me how a married man is
able to keep a single hair in his head.’

GENERAL HANCOCK ON THE
WESTERN FLOOD,
New Yoke, March 4. A reporter
of tho World called yesterday upon
General Hancock, who has recently
returned ^rom an extended Southorn
trip. Said tbe General:
“ I think there is a matter connect
ed with the Sonthern people which
should, at the present juncture, have
attention called to it. The people at
the North do not realize what the tel
egrams which they read about tho
flood really mean.”
THE DESOLATION DESCRIBED.
“ From what I saw I believe the
Southern people over hundreds of
square miles are literally drowned out.
Fences and cattle are gone; houses
huvo been swept away, or are unin
habitable; railroads are destroyed;
plantations are rained and the coun
try is desolated. Nothing like it has
been seen for many years. The dis
tress in the flooded regions is beyond
tho power of words to describe. Rec
ollect that what I saw and have told
you was seen at a time when the flood
was not at its worst
A NECESSITY EOS HELP.
“ The first thiug to be done is to
extend the uecessary aid to thene peo
ple. We must face the problem df
feeding, sheltering and clothing these
people until such time as they can
raise food and shelter for themselves,
ihe Southern people will do what
they can, but the Northern and West-
°ru people most also come to tbe res
cue. Even if it wore right to throw
flu- burden of such an unparalleled
and wide-spread calamity upon tho
Southerners alone, they Lave had the
