A ondertul Discovery. On the 6th nit, on ascending the western slope of Pilot Knob, in company with a small party of ladies and gentlemen, our attention was arrested by the exertions of three stalwart miners in dislodging a huge porphyry boulder which had been nearly entirely undermined by the process of blowing, blasting and digging away iron ore from the mountain side. The weight of this boulder could hardly be conjectured, being nearly round, and measuring nearly thirty feet diameter. The bouider lay at the top of the cut, and when dislodged would plunge an unbroken depth of forty feet into the bottom of the cut that yawned beneath it A huge blast was prepared, and our little party scarcely breathed while it was being fired. The excitement was intense.

It was a grand sight to see this mam moth rock rolled, by the modern appli ances ot man, from its bed where con vulsion had placed it The train Hash, a tube of pitch-black shot up into the air which widened into a cloud almost instantly. The mountain shook, and with life-like groan, the old rock lurched forward, and took a fearful leap. We were almost afraid to watch it strike the bottom of the cut below. With the sound of thunder it went crash Crash and thunder again, and mirabile dictu the enormous weight disappeared, and bottomless pit was opened through the mountain, below ns. We hurried down to this new revelation as soon as we recovered from our great excitement.

We found that the rock had crushed through the side of the mountain, and opened to our astonished gaze an immense cavern under the metalic base of Pilot Knob. We procured lights and were soon cautiously advancing into the avenue of wonders. We bad scarcely proceded one hundred yards in this mysterious sub terra-mundane hill, when we came tun into a grand chamber. seeming studded over with stalagmatic statuary. A tew moments of vivid torchlight revealed to us what we shall never forget.

In regular rows along both sides of this grand chamber, and on either side of an isle running through the centre of the farther wall, about thirty yards distant, were upright human forms, in a state ot preservation, and diciplmed regularity. The shackles of incredulity were rent assunder, and we felt yes, knew that we were in the midst of an antediluvian congregation. The state of feeling while thus surrounded in the chamber of the dead can neither be imagined nor described. We were transported back to the primeval ages, and stood among the speechless ancients whose abode of gloom and silence was calculated to inspire the deepest awe. The even and polished walls of this chamber were magnificently and strangely frescoed with the antique forms of every species known to animal organization.

The forms, customs and general appearance of these as well as numerous hieroglyphic characters were purely Egyptian. We have not space to comment more at length upon what must prove the centre of new theories. Iron County Mo.)

I learned lesson from that poor woman which I shall not soon forget.

Stick a pin there, and remember it. Jerusalem. The explorers at Jerusalem have made turther discoveries of underground struc tures part of the ancient city which have lor generations been hidden by ac cumulations of rubbish and modern buildings. They have opened a vaulted passage, one side ot which is massive masonry, the other perpendicular rock, and this rock is supposed to be the plat- form on which the leraple was built, ohouirt this supposition prove true, the I long debated question as to the dimen- sions ot the lemple may perhaps be set- tied and the archaeologists who hold that the extent of the building was not greater than appears in Josephus, may find their views confirmed.

The statement published in last Sun rlQirfl 7nsff. that, tho fitpamabirk OTin Captain pufidd, when on her last trip, off the Tortugas, steamed through tangled mass of snakes of all sizes, has since been the subject of much comment. "bnake stories are proverbially uncer tain, but we are now enabled authoritatively to declare that this particuia one may be relied on. Our original account was incorrect in one particular only. Instead of two hours and a halt, as stated, the Mexico was no more than one hour and a half in passing through this horrible mass of writhing reptiles, lhcy were of all sizes, from the ordinary green water-snake of two feet, to monsters genuine of fourteen to fifteen feel in length.

There is much truth and beauty in the fol lowing fugitive waif, floating about' among our exchanges Men seldom think of the great event of death until the studow falls across their own pnth, hiding forever from their eyes the traces cf the loved ones whose living smiles were the sunlight of their existence. Death is the great antagonist of life, and the cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark vallcy.nlthough its passage may loud purndise and, with Charles Lamb we do not. want to lie down in the muddy grave, even with kings and princes for our bed-fellows. But the Bat of nut tiro is inexorable.

Thero is no appeal or relief from the great law which dooms to dust. We flourish and fade like the leaves of the forest, and the flower that blooms and withers in a day has no frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monaroh that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men appear and vanish us the grass, and the countless multi- tude that throngs the World to-day will to- morrow disavmear us the footsteos on the on the shore.

A remarkable display of the northern lights occurred in this part of the coun try on the night of the 14th inst, and was witnessed in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Kicnmond, Louisville, Indian apolis, and many other places.

ibe display was unusually brilliant and nas excited more attention than any similar phenomena since the electric storm of 1859. In Philadelphia broad bands of red and green light, reaching from the east to the western horizon, and as far south as the eye could reach, suddenly changed into knots overhead, which sent forth broad rays in every direction. During its continuance the Western Union Telegraph Company worked its lines from tho city to the western part of the State without the use of a battery at either end. lV In Richmond a belt of white about six feet in width, shone across the sky, extending from east to west, and drifted north wards, crossing, and to some extent obscuring the moon, and finally gathered as a fan closes, and disappeared.

Those who have never whitewashed must not be surpris ed to see the work look very badly while it is wet the cnect can only be judged ed of when dry. With a little practice, the operation can be done without spat tering or letting a drop fall.

Stir the whitewash occasionally, dip tho brush in perpendicularly and then draw it across the wire above spoken of so as to leave as much in the brush as it will hold without dropping. Salt, white vitrol, starch, paste, and other things are added with a view to prevent the wash lrom rubbing off, but there is little whitewash that will not rub- off. For nice work the lime may be slaked several weeks before it is used. A thin pellicle or crust of Carbonic of lime will form on the surface, which is'to be 6kimmcd off and then the wash may bo poured off from the gritty particles which settle at the bottom.
