TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIPENS.
There is a.curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertiard nowa
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known
grape-grower of Croton Point, dit d in 1875.
Some of his heirs entertalntd temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranling for a settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand, A mong these i3 a wine cf the i intage
of z864j, described as a " Sweet UnIon Port,"
bet suggesting the Imperial Trokn y more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wvine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a specIal interest in it as the
oldest native wvine now accessible in any con.
siderabhe quantity. The whole stock in the
had fthe wetlI-known wholesale grocery
house of the T1hurbers.-N. I. Tribuene,
Nov. i9, z&/7.
The above speaks for Itself, but we would
add dhat thIs Is the pure julce of the grape,
neither drugged, lignored nor watered: that it
has been ripened and mellowed by age, and
for medicInal or sacramental purpo.scs it is
unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most
of the leading Druggists throughout the
United States, and at wholesale from theI
undersigned, who will forward descriptive
pamphlet, free of charge, on applIcatIon.

EXPLAINING THE INTERIOR OF
BALD MOUNTAIN.
Walli of Granite--Fresh Wisiires--The
Bottom of the Mountain Falling Out
Aqueous Agencies.
(Correspondence ofthe Charlotle Observer.]
Torches and larters having been
prepared the night before, the
mountain was climbed early in the
morning. A circuitous route had to
be taken to reach the cave's mouth,
five hundred feet up the precipitous
and in some places perpendicular
mountain side. After much panting
and blowing (affording great amuse
ment to the guide) our party, con
sisting of Mr. Gray, of Charlotte,
the guide and the reporter, reached
the desired point, and no time was
lost in effecting an entrance
Torches and lanterns were lighted,
a matter acconlplished with some
difficulty on account of the rush of
the cold air passing out of the cave.
The entrance is only two and a half
feet high by four feet wide, so dowvn
we go on all fours and crawl through
for some five feet. We move cau
tiously forward, assisted by daylight
for the first twenty feet, when the
passage makes a bend to the left,
and to-ches are required for the
next hundred feet, daylight then
again being perceptible, coming I
in through a window four feet wide
and two feet high. Twenty feet
further the entrance passage is 'n
tersected by five other apartments
of the same character as the one by
which we entered, two of greater
and three of lesser dimensions, one
leading to the window opening upon
the perpendicular face of the inoun
tain, the other through the solid
gntiss Iunning faterally and at
light angles with the sides directly
tow.rds its centre, some ascending,
others descending.
FOLLOWING TIE MAIM PASSAGE
- until daik, without the aid of our
toi ches, prevailed, a grand spectacle
was piesented. The rugged walls
rose mau.,estically on either si,.ofor one
h in:red feet, ra gged. sharp -pointed,
shaggy-looking rocks and huge
bolders, seemingly covered with
myriads of diamonds, each one re
flecting -rays of light, shining,
spraik.ing, flashing all the colors of
ti.e iainbow before our dazzled eyes.
Huge masses of granite jutted forth
on aa sides, small fissures nestled
away invisible except to close in,
spection, as if ashamed of their
sialness. A solitary bat, aroused
by the light, frightedly dashed itself
against tte walls in frantic efforts to
1egain its wonted gloom. Large
flakes of granite, some forty by
eighty feet, partly sc.led from the
sides, still iemained undetached
like a half- detached weatherboard
fastened at one end. Particles of
rock, some weighing tons and others
gr ound to powder, lay scattered
aroun(I in great profusion, and, far
above from where we stood, a sun -
beam famntly struggled through a
small crevice above the window,
barely tinging the darkened wall
like the touch of a fairy's golden
wvand.
A better idea can be obtained of
the appearance and
CHARlACTER 01 THE cAVE
by imagining a large cavern running
over five hundred feet into the
mountamn, about three hundred feet
wide, ranging in height from twelve
to two hundred feet, and divided
into six smaller caves, separty
priionedb also gneiss, vary.
ing trmono to sixty feet in jhick
ness, all connected either above or
below the partitions. These caves
all have a junction inside, only two
obtaining egress to the mountain
side, one through the mouth and the
other through the window. The
mountain passage runs due east
directly into the heart of the moun-.
tain over three hundred feet dQwn
ward at first, and then changes its
coni se, wvinding almost spirally, in
some places perpendicularly, grow
ing g:adually smaller, until ob$tainis g
an altitude of two hundred feesj
gromn its bottom. '
The next two longest 'nearly

average size of about half the. fi

WATER AND FIRE.
The cave was evidently re^ently
formed by a convulsion in the bow-.
els of the mountain. Not a particle
of rock could be seen with moss
clinging to it; the walls all seemed to
have been riven apart, every piece of
rock examined showing a newly
broken sur!aco. The inside of the
mountain is undoubtedly sir%king,
else where could the fallen rock have
gone ? Having sunk lower. a vacu
urn must have been created for their
reception. What created this vacu
um? The rock formation of the
mountain is solid gneiss, therefore,
water alone could not wear it out.
It might be caused by a convulsion
deep down in the mountain, forcing
an opening even through solid rock.
But granting this, what is the
motive power of said convulsion ?
Steam, generated by the contact of
water with fire. is the most natural
conclusion. We know that water
penetrates through parts of the
mountain, springs flowing from its
top, pools sinking near its base, and
single drops percolating through
the solid r cck, sl1wly but steadily,
collecting gradu illy sufficient water
which, if encountering a heated
surface, generate sufficient steam
to make a fissure somewhere in its
effot ts to escape. Thaf there has
been, and does yet exist (perhaps in
a smaller quantity) fire in Bald
Mountains is a very piLusible theory.
Dozens of surrounding Mountains
have the same water action, yet no
rumblings, jars, splitting or inward
sinking have occurred. There is
positive evidence that Bald Moun
tain has experienced all of these,
not only once, but time and again.
Must not heat then exist in its
bowels, in connection with water, to
cause these convulsions, when no
other mountain without the aid of
heat of similar formation, is or has
been subject to them ?
THE SENSATIONAL FISSURE,
causing so much excitement a
month ago, was explored after
leaving the cave. Climbing to the
cave was bad enough, but like
walking down hill compared with
the latter ascent. The fiseure is
about a. thousand feot up the
mountain. nearly on the top, and
has not increased much in size sinco
first discovered. Its width varics
from one to eight feet. It descendd
into the mountain, in some places,
seventy feet, with nowhere a great-.
or width than ten feet, betideen
walls of solid granite. Unlike the
cave, it wa.s not caused by. caving
in, but in a separation cauged by
convulsions. For two hundred
feet it follows an easterly course,
almost parallel with that Of the
mountain, then branches off diago
nally to the south east for some
hundred and twenty feet. Just
above the old, a new fissure of
seemingly trifling dimensions runs
up towards the top at right angles
with the other about tw.snty, feet.
Fifty feet lower down, cracks can
be seen in the sli4 side , -:'the
mountamn, indicating an impencding
splitting or caving oft of this end.
WVhenever this does occur5 the
noise and concussion will be great.
enough to convince tho neighboring
people that B.tldt M~ountain has de
veloped into a first class volcano-a4
