Another wonderful cavo has been discovered recently near (Jlasgow Junction, Ky. It has alreatly been explored for a distance of twenty-three miles in one direction, called the long route, and sixteen miles in another direction, called the short route. The avenues nrc very wide; a span of horses can easily be driven through for a distance of eleven miles. Three rivers, wide and very deep, aTro encountered on tho long route. Ono of them is ijiavigablo for fourteen miles, until the passage becomes t!oo narrow to admit a boat* This lortns tho third or TiVcr route, which lias been explored in a boat. j

Tho cave is wonderful beyond (jc-seription and; far surpasses in gran­deur the mammoth or any cavo evor before ciiscoveirod. ScveraJ mummi­fied remains lijavo bo$n discovered in ono of tlio lar^o rooms. * They wel*e reposing in stdno coffin*, rudoly con­structed, and prom appearances miy havo been in (tho cavo for ccnturl They present tvery appearance of Egyptian muriimics.

(ireat excitepnent prevails over thjis very important discovery. Mr. Ktjl-wln Mortimer, of ChestnutJ street, Louisville, Ky.f purchased three Of tho mummies and now has them In his possession!. Major George M. Proctor, of (J)asgow Junction, Ky , purchased tho j-crjiainder of the mum­mies from thoi o«tvncr of tho cave, rl|. Kellcy. Tho latter is, or rather wnjs a few days ago, a very poor maij, struggling to mnke a payment on ji farm of 24 aerc^, upon which, by inero'accident, t|ie entrance to thijs wonderful cavo tyas discovered. H*j obtained about $400 for the mum­mies, and is now Offered $10,000 cast for tho cave. : j ' . j

Tho entranco! to the cavo is withlij tho town limits, and is only about two minutes. Walk from the depot j which makes it very valuable indeed] as visitors will not bo compelled tq travel five miles in a stage coach, as they do if visiting the Mammoth Cavo, which is tlvo miles from thin town. In tact all the celebrated oiiverf of Kentucky aro in tho immediate] vicinity. The surface is very much broken, full of great elevations ami depressions, with everything \o indi-t cato that there was volcanic erup-i tions or violent upheavals of tlteqartlij at somo period. • ; i

»The newly-discovered cave liasbceni ifamed the (irand (Crystal ('aye, and! is as beautiful as its namo fmplies. ladders and bridges aro beiiig con­structed, and Mr. J. It. Puckett, a capitalist of tho town, announces his Intention of having a small steamboat constructed expressly for tho purpose* of navigating Us wonderful rivers.

On Sunday overling McDaf o's icei .house was burned! and hundreds of snakes wiggled ani orawled c)ut and-ran for the bay, creating a -continuous! splash, as one aftfr another jof tho;. reptile*'went beadlpng intothojwatcr.^j The snakes seemed to come fr^m ev­ery nook and eorndr of tho building, and writhing In a^ony from |lie in­tense heat, instinctively made for tho bay direct, and mafmed and burned as many of them wicrc, they plunged in promiscuously, throwing groat vol* times of water high into tho air.

Tho watchman at one of tha other houses says that when ho fi&t saw the flames they enveloped neafly the entire building. It had been aefctden-taly Bet on fire by tramps, scvfnal of whom wore subsequently foumEtlying near tho ruins fast asleep.

Antiquity of CiTllIrstlrjm.--l jQnery for Professor N^geombJ

From the Scientific Amci l cAt i

Under tho heading <4P!ahetary Population," in your ittlmbir for June 1st, J878, page 34r.f Professor Nowcomb is reported as nayingi 4*The latter (tho earth) has probably] been Revolving In its orbit 10,000,000keam; man "lias probably existed on It less than 10,000 years; civiiizai CSS than 4,000 years."

Cnder these estimates of timd what becomes of tho discoveries % of I^ep-sius, Mariettc, and others in rfgypt, where they declare they hav* un­earthed i structures, montuiicnts, tombs, statues, etc.,; dating! back 4,.r»00 to 5,000 years before our] era?

Tho doclpherihg of hieroglyihica, which has attained a hifch degrre of certainty, shows us that nearly, if not quite, 7,000 years have pkssod since the Fourth King of tho IF i n t Dynasty built the Pyramid of Co-chome, the first that greets the krav-eier toward the desert on leaving Cairo* Three thousand years before Holomon built his Temple to] the "most high" God on Mouut Mojrlah, or tho Assyrian reared his altirs to Baal on the platform of Koujiirjik, Egypt was arV old country, her arch­itecture grand and imposing in style,

tand perfect in execution, her lan­guage not only fully formed, bolt re­duced to writing, her statuary i nat­ural, and her paintings vivid in! col­oring and truthful in design. I Lave before rno on the table a/ac simke of the hieroglyphs on the "Oliddon Mummy Case," in the National Mu-$0A\n)($mithsofuan Contribution^ to Knowledge, No. 208). Egyptologists aro agreed that this case andj the Writings on it date back to a period antecedent to the reign of Hesoijthus Or Tosorthus, who flourished B| C. &,240 to 3,211. Who will look at the exquisite drawing and coloring of this ancient piece of work and be Willing to admit that the scribe jnrho Executed it was not civilized? pay, that ho lived 1,000 years before Civi­lization existed upon earth? And this was already in the fifth dynslsty. Who will look upon tho temples (and tombs of Memphis and of Thdbes, gating 2,000 years still further back, 0r 5,000 years before our era, andway ^bat tho people who built them were «ot "civilized?" Even the orthddox Bunscn, upon study of them, aband­oned the, till then, implicitly received Mosaic or biblical chronology, land Was compelled to relegate the genesis Of man back Jo 20,000 years I*J C. {"AcgyptensStcile," Bd. V,, pp. B42, 359.) How many thousand years Egypt must have taken to arrive at the slage of civilization in which Mariette, licp-sius, Kenan, and Bunscn show het to have been seven thousand years ago, We have no means of knowing. 1

I would also ask what i a to bodjmo with the fossil nytn of }^)enysei of Mentone, of tho Neanderthal and other locales; of the remains of it an found commingled with those of the cavo boar, the woolly rhinoceros, And other extirjet mammalia of the d i u -vium, and iso commingled as to leave no room to doubt their cotcmpora|ie-otisness? What explanation can be made of the discoveries of Woiey Hole, Kent*8 Cavern, tho cavertf of Aurignac, tho Trou dc Frontal, and the other numerous bone cavel of France and Belgium, of allthc labors of Schmcrling, Sprung, Bacr, Vogt, Boucher dq Perthes, Lartet, Taabe Bourgeois, Lyell, and Lubbock?

Science a»4 Bellgtoo As announced,, by cablegram} the •

historian, James Anthony Froude, gives his second paper on "Science and Theology" in the July-Augnst number of the International Review, stating In substance that Hievinodern nations of Europe, like the Greeks and Romans, founded their original policy on religion; but that the will of God has no longer a place, even by courtesy, in the statutes; that re* spcciable fight* against the unweh come truths in regacd to Christianity thrust upon them; the clergy pray for delivercnce from evils which they. know depend on natural causes, and the bishops themselves do not believe what they profess. r

Mr. Froude asserts, however, that the message of science is not the last' nor the highest, and that the time will come when tho illusions which have overwhelmed religion shall have passed away; that a society without God in its heart canuot exist, and. that when a new religion has estafc* Iished itself which men can act upori and fully believe, it should never i>c ruined by the extravagant prcten-fcions of its founders ami propogators. We think it will be found both edi­fying and profitable to the friends of Christ.— Watcitowi^ Timta. .»

rock salt has just bech made in this wdlftt I »v5<alc*» n c a r tJlC Hltle villngo of Wyo-^

ming, forty miles southwest of K o v cluster, on the Rochester and State Line ltailway. On .hme 18 a laborer was sinking an oil well near the vil­lage, when at a depth of 1,200 feet , the drill struck a stratum of rock , s*lf which proved to 100 ftet thick. The full extent of the mine is not*

pounds ¥)t kmnvii, but it is supposed to cover a large territory, and that the salt marshes of Syracuse drain the bed. The salt has been examined by a sciv entitic gentleman, and he says it is the best rock salt. Those familiar with salt, say that this salt just dis­covered i* pure enough to be shipped to market directly from the mine without receiving dhemicai purifica­tion. Considerable excitement is the result, and it Is said that if the bed • proves of wide extent it will-exercise a powerful influence upon the salt* trade of the Country and destroy the < evaporating industries of the great salt monopolies which have long re­ceived government protection. There %

aro but lew extensive mines of pure -salt in the world. The principal lo- -calitics where rock salt 'is met wl t l i^ in the tertiary formation are Wleliea->% ka, Poland; the northern slopes of y n tho Carpathian mountains, and la ^ several districts of Hungary; In the ^ 4 £ chalk formation of Cardona,,Spain; # ^ in the Eaatorn A l f ^ ^ v ^ W - i w ^ b u r g .
