A Sluguluf Discovery -Ice that Mever
.Tie us.
A letter from Linden, Perry county, Ten.
Dtsse, gives a statement respecting the hI
leged discovery of a cava In the county
named, conliaolng some remarkuMet slioe
formations, which are said to impart to
fluids the coolness of Ice, wh'ln retaining
their original bulk. The story Is mid to
be vouched for by prominent citizens ot the
county, a number of whom have explored
the esve and have carried away specimen
of the wonderful eubiUncs. Penetrating
the subterraneoni cavity to the distance of
seventy.fl.ve feet, their torches revealed an
apartment festooned with the most beautiful
stalagmites, resembling the clearest Ice, and
cold at the touch ol the Ice king himself.
Breaking ofT lumps of the queer su bits nee,
they made their way to the surface, their
bands becoming so thoroughly chilled that
tbey were compelled to ley the crystals
down In tbe sun. The warm"! atmosphere
bad uo effect on the "rock Ice," and after a
half hour's rest tbe party proceeded to tbe
resldenoe of one of tbeir number. Here a
number of experiments were tried with it,
water nod milk being brought in a very few
minutes to the lowest temperature by put
ting pieces of tbe crystal in pitchers with
the fluids. It produced tbe same effect up
on butter as Ice, and still retained in orig
inal frigidity. A number ol persons have
since visited the cava and carried away
specimens of the rock, which tbey are using
lor tbe purposes of Ice, one pbysiciao em
ploying it in bis practice. It is a wonder-
iul story, and hard to believe.
Ao Ingenious mechanic ol San Francisco,
according to tbe Chronicle of that city., has
just invented a baby carriage which seems
well calculated to deligtt tbe boarta or
mothers. It is said to be so much of an im
provement upon tbe clumsy vehicle now in
use that It Is capable of being folded into a
piece of baggage no larger than an ordinary
sized portfolio. Tbe object of tbe Inventor
was to produce an article that might be
packed almost Instantaneously by a nurse,
and placed upon the front platform of a
sireet car. Great fortunes bava been real
ized by Inventions mueb more InslgelBoaot:
and with "mamma' on bit side, wbo.csn
say that tbe poor California mecbanlo does
not stand a good chance of gaining an Inde
pendent lortune.

A IHfence of Pretty Woman.
Alter all, If the world so very absurd lu
lis love of pretty women! Is woman to
veiy ridiculous lu her cbese after bemily?
A pretty woman la doing a woman's work
in the world, but not making speeches, nor
nmk log pudding), but making life sunnier
and ti ore beautiful. Man bas foresworn the
pnreuil of beauty altogether. Dues on seek
it lur himself, be is guested lo bo Irivilou
be is guessed to be poetic, tbere are whimpers
lliat his morals are better than tbey should
be. Io society resolute to lie ugly tbere I,
no post for an Adonis, but that of a model
guardsmen. But woman does for mankind
what mao bas ceased o do. Uer aim from
childhood is to be beautiful. Even as a
school girl she notes tbe progress of ber
charms, the deepening color of ber lair,
tbe symmetry of tbe arm, the ripening con
tour or ber obeek. We watch, the myster
ious reveries of the maiden; she Is dreaming
ola coming beauty. Insensibly, she be-
0 omes an artist,) her room Is a studio, 1
glass an academy. Tbe joy of ber toilet I,
tbe joy ot Upbeel over ber canvas, of
Michael Angelo over bis marble. She is
UV IB

e, ok
creatlog beauty In tbe silence of the loneli
ness ol ber chamber; she grows like any
oreatioo, the result of patience, of hope,
thousand delicate touoblogs and relouob-
ing. woman itnevsr perfect; never com-
plete. A restless night undoes tbe beauty
ol tbe day; sunshine blurs the evanescm
coloring of her cheek; frost nlps,the tender
outlines of her face Into sudden harshness
Care plows its lines across ber brow; moth
erhood destroys tbe elastlo lightness of ber
form; the bloom cf ber cbeek, tbe quick,
sen 01 oer eyes, lade and vanish as tbi
years go by. But woman Is.still true to be
deal. She won't Know when she Is beaten M
nd she manages to steal fresh victories
evsn In ber defeat. S3 Invents new con
ceptioos ol womanly grace; she rallies at
fo.-ty, aod fronts us wilb beauty of woman
hood ; she makes a last stand at sixty with
the beauty of age. She tails like Caesar
wrapping ber mantle tound ber "buried in
woolen! 'twould a ;saiot provoke!" Death
listens pitifully to tbe longings of a lifetime
ana ine wrinkled lace smiles with some
thing of tbe prettlnessof eighteen
