Scene Very Fact Contained
In an Official Re-port.
A recent report of the surveyor gen-
of New Zealand contains an ac-
count of a visit to the caves,
in the King Country, In the North
Island, a summary of which is given in
The London Times. The
river, a tributary of the which
passes through these caverns, lies about
eighty-five miles south of Auckland, in
a straight line. The caves are about
ten miles from railway

from the side of a hill under which it
has flowed through limestone caverns

A light canoe can be taken along the
river through the caves to within a
short distance of the egress, where fur-
progress is barred by the roof com-
down to Hie water. At the en-
trance to the cavern the stream is eight
feet deep. The natives have never had
the courage to enter.
The entrance to the cave is feet
wide and feet high, and is in the
face of a cliff. It is beautifully arched
with numerous moss and lichen
stalactites. The visitor is taken
in a canoe ninety feet from the en-
trances and landed on a silt covered
beach. By the aid of candles, for all
is now dark, he finds himself among
ponderous stalactites, three feet to six
feet thick, reaching from the roof,
twenty feet above, to within a foot of
the ground. Everywhere and over the
extensive and intricate cavern are seen
stalactites and stalagmites of immense
size in vast numbers, with marvelous
beauty of form and color. At one
place the dark vault is studded with
thousands of giving it
appearance of a starlit sky.

of a foot bridge. From the entrance
to the bridge the cavern averages
feet in and from to feet
in height. After crossing the bridge a
sharp to the right is made tip a
steep incline for a distance of seventy
feet to the foot of the ladder, which
leads to a narrow passage feet wide
and feet high, which is the entrance
to the Grand cavern.
Here is the bottom of the
narrow shaft to another series
of caves above. The well is lour feet
across and perfectly regular, as if made
by human hands, and its sides are
beautifully marked with horizontal
streaks formed of laminated limestone.
In the grand cavern is an immense
mound of materials, evidently fallen
from the roof. Beyond the roof rises
and forms two domes, one feet
high. Forty feet up is the entrance to
another cavern. Beyond the dome
there is a sudden fall, the roof lower-

stoop. The length of the grand cavern,
at The end of which the stream is again
met with, is feet. It varies in
width from to feet, and from

chamber. At the end of this chamber

reached, high in a wooded cliff

A Diet of Lean Meat and Water.
Life and health can be sustained in-
definitely on a diet of lean meat and
water, according to Professor J. W.
Good, of the Manitoba Medical college.
The servants of the Hudson's Bay com-
in the Athabasca district and in
the Mackenzie river region depend en-
on the natural food supply of the
country, some living on meat alone and
some solely on fish. Great bodily and
mental vigor has been retained on such
a diet for periods of twenty or thirty
years, with singular freedom from con-
and indisposition of every
kind. Scurvy has appeared only where
salt meat has been provided for winter
use.

When Joseph Darby, the English
Jumper, set out to learn jumping he
said that if he could beat any man in
England he would willingly lay down
and die. The day came when he was
champion, yet because a man hit him
with a brick he raised a row and re-
fused to die and had his assailant sent
to Free Press.

the horses hampered by much
harness. The poles have gone
out, and so most of the harness,

the animal's movements except the

After a horse has supplied a part of

Few are probably the persons who

says a Louisville Times writer, it is
founded upon a story told upon the
little island of but which might
easily have its exact counterpart on
most any seashore where a mother's
heart beats with yearning love for her
sailor son and keeps its fond promise
from night to light.
Among the simple fisher folks on tho
island lived a woman and her son. He
was her only child, tho of her
heart as well as the of constant
dread, for the boy loved the sea as his
father had loved it, and nothing
gave him so much pleasure as to watch
the incoming tide tumble its curling
waves the sands. No sooner was
he strong enough to wield an oar and
steer a boat than ho joined the men in
their fishing expeditions.
Tho mother, with all her fears and
the fate of a long line of sailors in her
mind, yet would not have had it other-

dishonor among tho hardy coasters to

great favorite among the
folk and with the sailors, and when at
last his year came around and he
obtained the consent of his mother to
go to sea ho easily found a good ship
and captain. Then there was parting,
and tears shed by the mother, while
he looked forward into the great, wide
world with all the joyous eagerness of
a boy. But with her last blessing the
widowed mother promised that every
night a light should bum in tho sea-
ward window of her cottage to light
homeward and to show him that
she still lived, awaiting his return.

A convention of the Democratic

of nominating candidates for the
Legislature and the various
offices.

one delegate for fractions of fifteen
or more votes cast in the last

The Convention met and did its
work in a very short time, only
one ballot being required to make
a nomination which resulted in
the selection of Mr. W. A. B.
Branch, of Beaufort, by a majority
of a fraction of a vote. Mr. Branch
has always been a good Democrat,
he was the choice of the Alliance,

general satisfaction throughout

It is currently reported that Mr.
C. M. Bernard, of Pitt, is the Re-
publican nominee for Congress in
this District against Mr. Branch,
that the Republican Executive
had met and named him as their
man. Whether or not the Com-
just put him out to kill him
off we are not prepared to say, but
they must entertain little or no
hope of carrying the District or
they never would hare put him up
against Mr. Branch. Unless they
can work up his popularity in
portions of the District to many
fold what it is at his home he will
be the worst beaten candidate
that ever run in the First District.
Some idea of his strength here
may be had from the election four
years ago. In that election Mr.
Bernard run as an independent
candidate for Solicitor against Mr.
Worthington. Pitt county's usual
Democratic majority ranges from
to but that year it gave
