Remarkable Discovery .Vcnr Mays
vile, Kentucky A Party of Hunt
ers Stumble upon a. .Mammoth,
Ca.vo-Tb.ey Find the Skcle
tqn of n Giant Willi Cop
per Helmet and Sword.
Correspondence of the Xew York Sun.
MAYSVILI.E, Ivy., March SO. An
exceedingly interesting discovery was
made a few -dnya agoJ by a party of
young men while out hunting near
'the town of Augusta, eome' fourteen
miles aouth of this city. Whilo beat-
,ing about for game upon the lands of
S. K. Veach. a well known farmer of
the neighborhood, in a dense thicket
of young elms, upon the side of one
of tho hills, their dogs suddenly dis
appeared through an opening some
three of four feet in diameter, which,
proved upon examination to bo the
entrance to a cavern that promises
to rival In magnificence and
grandeur the world-reDOwned Mam
moth Cave of Southern Kentucky.
Tho mouth of this cavern appears
Jo have been covered with a large, flat
rook, that Elippcd away from tho
opening, together with a large mass
of earth, and this accidentally indica
ted tho existence of the cave. This
' stone, which evidently answered for
a front door to the dwelling of the
inyterious people who lived and had
their being in the Ohio valley anteri
or to the advent of the modern Indian,
was nearly overgrown with moss, and
measured five feet or moroone way and
a little le3S than four the other. Under-1
neath tho moss has been traced a
hleroglyphical inscription, whioh it
is not Improbable to euppose may
have been mado for tho purpose of
signifying to the passerby, as ouri
modern door plateB do, tho names of
the dwellers insido.
The characters occurring most fre
quently In this symbol writing are a
circle divided by a perpendicular line,
a representation of a double lodge,
and irregular, wavy lines, supposed to
Indloate water. Some of our local
nntiquarians havo deciphered the cir
. cular liguro to signify unity or tho
union of two branches of the sawo
jamuy. me idea appears to be
strengthened by the rude drawing of
the united lodges. From this Inter
pretation, it is iufered that two fami-
lies, possibly connected by tie3 of
consanguinity, lived together in this
prehistoric dwelling. The Hues that
are eupposed to represent water are
similar to those given by Mr. School
craft in his Antiquites of America as
meaning fluids. It is not unlikely
that the figure may have some associa
tion with the Ohio River, which is
distant from the epot not more than
half a mjle,
THE INTERIOR OF THE CAVERN.
The young men, who stumbled, as
it were, upon a knowledge of the ex
istence of this underground wonder,
were too much startled and awe
Btricken to attempt at that time the
exploration of the unknown regions,
to the brink of which accident had
led them. Buton tho following morn
ing they procured a supply of can
dles, ropes and other artloles used in
cavo explorations, and headed by and
intrepid young fellow named Stephen
Wyatt, ropaired to tho and entrance

A college professor at Burlington
thought he'd see what the boys were
up to in a sophomore's room, whence
issued sounds of 6ongs and clinking
glasses. So he shuffled quietly down
the hall in his stocking feet, but when
he struck a small forest of tacks with
the small ends up, he hopped right
baok again and kept talking to him
self fo half an hour, while ho put
little pieces of oourtplaster all over
from tout to twelve foot, for a dletauco J tho soles of his feet.
estimated at about two hundred
yards, terminating abruptly in a
chamber about eighty feet squaro and
thirt3' feet or more in height.
The appearance of this room is de
scribed as being peculiarly grand and
impressive. Immense stalactites
drooped from the ceiling, and glisten
ed in the light of the caudle like mas
ses of solid silver. The floor was cov
ered with clean, white sand, such as
is found on thesea shore, to the depth
of ten or twelve inches. The young
men, who had never witnessed such
a sight as the interior of this cav
ern presented, were lost in wonder
and amazement, and were eager to
return to the eurfuce, but one more
bold than tho rest urged a further ex
ploration, to which the others reluct
antly consented. An examination of
the chamber revealed the fact that
there wa3 no mode of continuing the
the journey except through a small
opening near the floor, that required
the party to proceed on their hands
and knees.
A distance of n hundred feet or
more was accomplished in this way
when the leader was startled to find
himself at tho brink of a precipice
overlooking a pitof Stygian blackness
He was so shocked by the discovery
of Ills danger that he lost bis presence
of mind, and would have toppled
over into tho abyss had he not been
seized by one of his own companions
and drawn back. The party were
again tempted to return, but Wyatt
insisted with firmness upon pursuing
tho journey as far as it could be ac
complished with safetj. A strong
rope was then fastened toa projecting
crag, and one by one the young men
djopped into the pit, which proved
to be about twenty feet in depth. At
this point they encountered a slope or
incline, composed of a confused mass
of roof-rock, down which they scram
bled to the bottom, where they found
themselves in a large vaulted cham
bermore than a hundred feet in
height, filled with stalactites, stalag
mites, and tho curious "formations
that have rendered so attractive the
great cave of Edmondson county.
A GIANT SKELETON.
In the center of this room there
loomed up out of the darkness an im
mense square, moss-covered bunch of
loose stones, carefully laid one upon
the other, after the fashion of the
rock fences common in this seotion
of country. There could be no doubt
that this monument or cairn was the
result of human labor, expended
probably thousands of years ago.
The top of this sarcophagus, for such
It proved to bo, was covered by slabs
of thin rook, evidently transported
from the surface. They were careful
ly removed, disclosing a square vault
that had been plastered with mud
mixed with small pieces of straw or
twigs of trees or bushes. In the cen
tre of the vault, in a sitting posture,
was found the skeleton of a human
figure, entire, and perfectly preserved
by the dry atmosphere of the cave.
As there was no appearance of fleBh
upon tlie bones, it is probable tuo
body had been prepared in the open!
air, denuded of ilesh, and afterward
removed to the cave for burial, The
bones wero taken out of the vault,
laid upon the floor, and by tho rough
measurmentthe young men were able
to make found to be those of n man
over eight feet six Inches in height.
Tho skull measured nearly twelve
inches in the shortest diameter, and
had on tho left side an indentation,
evident!' made by a severe blow.
In the vault at the side of theskel
eton was found an implement of cop
per four feet six inches in length,
that weighs four pounds, and appears
to havo been intended as a weapon of
defense. It Is roughly made, and
was probably fashioned from tho na
tive copper of the lake regions. The
sword is bent and tapers to a point,
and has somewhat the appearance of
n faw upon its cutting edge. A rude
effort at decoration is made upon the
handle by irregular lines running en
tirely around it.
In close proximity to this Interest
ing rello was found what was first ta
ken to be a rude bowl of the same
metal, but hassinoe been decided that
it was a helmet or head covering. A
stone ax of elegant workmanship,
seven flint arrow points, a stono pipe
carved to represent a frog, a piece of
buckskin stained red, a pair of san
dals woven from vegetable fibre, and
a water vessel of sun-baked olay were
also found.
AN ABORIGINAL WATER-COOLER.
Tbo latter is now in my own posses
sion, and is a very beautiful speolmen.
It appears to be made from clay tem
pered with skill, and Is very similar
in design to the pottery occasionally
found in Tennessee, Arkansas, and
some of the other Southern States,
and known among antiquarians as
the "Mound Builders' water-cooler."
Tho specimen in mj' possession
weighs one pound and ten ounces,
and holds exactly two and a half
pints.
Most of the specimens described
above were brought out of the cave
by the young men on their return ta
daylight and removed to tho hotel to
Augusta, where they continue to at
tract crowds of the curiously inclined.
They will ultimately be sent to one of
the scientific institutions of the coun
try, probably to the Smithsonian.
The country In the neighborhood
of thia wonderful cavern is full of
excitement, hundreds of people flock
ing to the plaeo, though few venture
beyond the entrance. The owner of
this lend Mr. Veach, 13 very jubilant,
and has declined, I am told, large of
fees for the place. A further explora
tion will be made shortly under scien
tific auspices, when a moro complete
account of the discovery will be given.
Hints for a Universal Language.
Yesterday afternoon a young man
much giren to the use of slang of the
day called on tho prosecuting attor
ney aud announced that ho wanted
a warrant for the arrest of a saloon
keeper who had assaulted him, and
this is the way he made his wants
known :
'Look a here, I want a warrant for
a fellar!'
What did ho do to you ?' asked the
attorney.
lHe fired me out.'
"Fired you out! What do you mean
by that?'
'Oh ! well, he stood me on my
head.'
'Do you mean to say that he stood
you on your head ; how did he do It?'
"He didn't exactly do that, but he
elevated me. Kinder raised me and
slid me off on my ear.'
What did he do that for?'
'Why, I asked him for a drink, and
when I told him to chalk it in his
head, that when I came round again
I'd kick it out, he told mo to pull
down my vest. I told him to comb
his hair, and he just then boosted
me.
He obtained a warant for an assault
and battery.

Six years ago, says the Laramie Sen

little tent on the edge of town. Her
whole worldly possessions consisted of
this tent, a straw bed, two or three

sold the spare milk of these two oows,
carrying it around town with a tin
pail, with the product, and from work
which she did for her neighbors sup
ported herself and child. When she
could get three or five dollars ahead
she would by another calf or year

THE NEBRASKA. ADVERTISER
has now entered upon its
Twentieth. Year,
and is the
OLDEST PAPER IN NEBRASKA!
That never suspended or changed its name. Age has
not caused its depreciation, nor its adherence to explod
ed fogyisms, but otherwise 3 and to-day it stands on a
sure foundation, in the
Advance Guard of tlie Great Arjiiy cf
Progression
Strong from the nourishment of long years of good
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY ASD IIUMAX EIGHTS.
When the question was presented between Treason an
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes ana
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause" of Union
and an undivided country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year,
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction, and
at the same foe, that thev shot leaden bullets, for the
mission or the JKepubhcan party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not yet
passed, American progress has not yet ended. Other
labors, to save what has been gained, lie before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heartily cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank of the Republican platform of Ohio "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and believes that the safety of the Nation lies in the
full recognition of thisdoctrine. From the attitude pr
the opposition, tlie duty of every RepublicanjuVobVk
