The real object of Count Turkheim's

how it came that more people patronized

prices, and liberal advertising in the

and has now written to King VViiiam
about "what bo knows of keeping gro

Logo's CAYK.—A few miles east of this
place, at the head of Penn'f creek there
is cave, which is quite a natural
Cariosity. This cave has been known to
most of the citizens of this vicinity and
valley yet strange to Say, lew have visited
it- It is on the farm of Mr. Long and has
two entrances —one by water and the oth
er by creeping through an aperture a dis
tance below the water entrance. The
mouth of the water cave is in a large ket
tle, at the bottom of which is a boat to con
vey the curious into the monster cavern.
The water has an average depth of about
IS.fett, and of some Sofeet in width, and
and is cool and fresh as may well be sup
posed. This entrance is large enough to
idmit a locomotive The length of the
cave with its windings, may be nearly
hall A mile, and is navigable the entire dis
tance for the craft aforesaid. The entire
cavern is one solid vault of nature's ma
sonry, which at the first glance settles all
dpubts as to its caving in and hiding you
forever from the outside world. The
width and the depth of the water is
sufficient to fiat a canal boat, except at one
spot, baif way down the cavern wbore
there is a strait of about 6 feet in widtb
and eight or ten yards in length. The sub
terancan scenery is grand and imposing
and to say that it often borders on the sol
emn, when you reach the chamber of
mummies and the assembly of the silent
drunkards, is not an exaggeration. There
are a number of chambers which aro larg
er than any burn in our valley, and fifty
feetjfroru lloor to ceiling. The sides are
hung with all kinds of natural fancy work
in stone, fringed, tnsseled and embroider
ed curtains with here and there petrified
watchmen to remind you of the police
man who stand guard in the ouUidc
world, and as if to warn you not to break
nor mar any of the beauties of his subter
ranean abodo, which Mr. hong will also
found objecting to. The stalactites or
itony icicles banging from the ceiling and
sides are beautiful and countless. The
ceiling is coursed by rieh fringework
white as the driven snow, and here and
there forms of men and also of animals in
a crouching position, can be seen on the
floors of the chambers. At one point there
is a large thin shelf of stone, which when
struck with the oar emits a sweet and i>ure
Sfiuijd. tan readily be
made at various points and excursionists
can leave the boat and explore the dry
apartments of the cave. We might write
much more at length of tho beauties and
interesting objects in this wonderful cav

visitors ah.io.-t weekly from Bellefoiite

This materialist philosophy, from which
God, the soul, and the idea are forever ab
sent, had its origin the )a.-t century, hav
ing. like all modern ideas, many aucient
predecessors in the science of the Greeks.
Lamark, a Frenchman, was the first to
point out thai -pecles were developed
through progressive evolutions. The im
mense authority of Cuvier discredited this
theory, in spite of its having appeared
again in St. liilaire, until Darwin came to
revive it, after twenty years of elscrva.
lions and .-tudy, in his wonderful book of
the Origin of Species.
In Germany this doctrine had forerun
ners, and still has adherents, who extend
and push it to extremes. Treviranus re
garded the zoophytes as the root of the
tree of organism, whoso most perfect fruit
is the human brain. Uken gives the same
origin to all beings, says tlicy grow, trans
form themselves one into another, and all
continually ascenJ to a superior life.
Goethe, whose studies on organic beings
are much ir ore meritorious and protound
than Li* studies upon light, declares, in the
Metamorphoses, the existence of an organ
ic type, the leaf, of which all plants nr<
variation* and irradiations. Ar.J he con
i der. tho verubra in ?. >ological evgani-ms
the same a* the leaf in the vegetable or
ganism. and regards the human brain as
of vertebrae similar H> those
which form the spinal marrow in verte
brate animals. The cranium is a bony
capsule, n larger variation of the rings
wk icb encircle and contain the m. arrow,
and the same is true of the cranium of all
Mmmt'ii. After having recognized in
man the intermaxillary bono, which dem
onstrates hi- kinship with interior Icings,
he declares that all organi.-ins proceed from
one common rot; that there is a close re
lation between the vegetable organ i.on
and the animal; that some species arc de
rived from others, a* tho butterfly is de
rived from the grub; that by a centripetal
force organisms are strongly attached to
the fundamental law of their speuies, and
by another centrifugal force they are Un
united nnd diversified intc innumerable
species, which fill the eternal and the in
finite with the rich texture of their form.
We would never finish if we bad to men
tion all the author* in Germany who have,
( before or since Darwin, sustained theprin
ciple of the transformation of species. The
one who with most energy and success ha.>
promulgated the doctrine, under the high
guidance of Darwin himself, is Hacckc),
who is still bolder and more enthusiastic
in his generalization*, carrying thetbeory
froni the vegetable and animal creation*
into history, and extending it as well to
the development of worlds in .-pace ns to
the development of humanity to time.—

THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUND
Spotted Tail's Description of the
Spirit World—The Indiau's Reli
gion—Whero the Great Spiiit will
Lean to the Red Man's Cause.
U'tfiA ir;t,,n letter to tf< (\>uricr*JoMrnal.
Correspondent I want you to tell me
somewhat of your religious belief.
Spotted Tail, after quite a pause, pro
ceeded, in answer to juelions put by your
com -; ondent and Major Howard, to talk
very gravely, the following being sub
-tantially what he said :
"Most Indians believe in the Great
Spirit, in a heaven and in a hell. But
some are unbelievers, and think that when
they die they are no more, just like the
Jog and the horse. There are but two
worlds, the one on which we live, and that
one where tho Great Spirit dwells, The
-pirit world is moro than ten thousand
times larger than this, its hunting fields
have no end, and the game there is inex
haustible. It- flower* are more beautiful
and fragrant than any wc have ever known
and its maiden* arc as lovely as tho colors
of tho clouds before a setting sun, and
never grow old. The land does not have
to be cultivated there, but every kind of
good fruit and in the greatest abundance,
hang upon trees and vines continuously
waiting to be plucked. Nothing ever dies
there, and the wants of all who go there,
arc constantly and forever supplied with
out the necessity of any work. All good
men, whether they are whito or rod, go to
heaven, but great difference will exist
between tho conditions of the races of men
and individuals there nod what they arc
here. Everything nearly will be reversed.
The wealthy hero will be poor tbere, the
powerful and great here will bo humble
there. The Indians who have been over
powered by the intelligence and skill of
the whito man here will have n better,
chanco there. Everything which was taken
from them here will bo given te them there
even his gun, his dog, and pony. Ilere tho
Great Spirit has been on the white man's
ide ; there ho will lean to the cause of the
Indian, and then,'' .-aid he chief, his eyes
flashing the mean time n fearful realization
of the present condition of his people, we'll
fight itout, and we will not be driven from
our hunting grounds like the sneaking,
savage wolf. The bad men of all nations
w ill go down into tho centre of the earth
and be excluded from the spirit land."
Correspondent—But tell me. You know
that wLen you die-—when you people--
they rot like the horse and dog, and their
bodie-. go into the earth tho air, and water.
How is it that you arc to go to the spirit
land and do everything there as individ
ual* very much after the same manner that
you do here ?
Spotted Tail—\Y o go there as spirits and
there get new bodies, whicii the white man
can not kill.
Correspondent—Have you not heard
through your missionaries about Jesus
Christ, tho Son of tho Great Spirit?
Spotted Tail—Ye*. 1 have heard all
about Him; how good lie was; what great
things He did: how He would help the bad
man to be good, and how be would lead
all who would listen to Him to the Great
Spirit, His Father, and I have also heard
how tho white man killed Him. The 1
dian never would have done that; he nev
er would huvo murdered the Son of the
Great Spirit. He would rather have loved
Him better than liu own life; would have
given Him anything and all lie hud, and
for Him would hnvo gone upon the war
path ami conquered the world. It was for
a long time after I But heard about .Jesus
Christ that I did not understand how the
white man could have killed liim; but
when 1 got better acquainted with the
whites, when I realised tho faot that they
had no respect for the rights of tho Indian
would take away his homo whore he was
born, murder him and his children, des
poil his women, and rob liirn of his win
ter's food, i then very readily understood
how they couij evon \iill the Son of the
Great Spirit as they dig ,
Oufw;|.oiidht iv tlia Indians often
pray to the Gnat Spirit?"
Spotted Tail—Yes; on most all occasions
whether great or small."
Correspondent—Die the Gnat Spirit
answer their prayers?
Spotted Tail—Yes; he always answers
the good men. lie has given us all we
have, and is always present to give us
I more, if we only do no wtong,

The state of the public business and the

Henry Ward Beecher Writes
I *„-g Mtu.
\S lion Mr. Beecher agreed with the pro
jector* of the "I-ife of Chfist," some years
ago. that it would be more profitable to
write the work front an orthodox rather
than a liberal standpoint, he received |lO,.
on account, and promtsi4 to tiuish the
hook in two yoars. Un failure to keep the
I contrast, it is concoded, ha* led more than
, almost anything else to the fuilum of J. R.
Ford A Co.. his publishers. "Y'ou would
ho surprised,'' said one of hi* church men
hers, in an excusatory way. to a reporter,
"to know how irksome it is for Mr. Beech
er to write. He hate* the labor of using a
pen and while he could Uik and talk all
day with pleasure, he would be pestered to
death if lie had to write. Ho has frequent
ly put off writing for Mr. Bonner until the
last minute, and then dashed off something
which came into his head and was worth
reading because he had his name to it. lie
knows tho printer's cry for "copy," for he
; has written the "Lite of Christ" under the
I habitual plodding of Mr. Ford, and he
has often had to write while the messenger
, waited for his uianuscripl.'' Mr. Bee,fier
: i* said to have made n-otbvr promise to be

the cecond volume of the "Life of Christ"
