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.’ tax payers—the first to be paid on or before the 31st day of March, the seoond on or beforo the 30th d»y of June, the third on or before the 30th fifty of 8ept., ftnd the fourth on or before the 30th dfty of November. 1883.

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.
