It wuz a sight—a sight.
But of all the sights I see that day I guess the one that stayed by me the longest, and that I thought more on than any of the other contents of Horticultural Hall, as I lay there on my peaceful pillow at Miss Plankses, wuz the reproduction of the Crystal Cave of Dakota.
My peaceful pillow at Miss Plankses.
The original cave, so fur as they have discovered it, is thirty-three milds long—
Three times as long as the hull town of Lyme—the idee!
Thirty lakes of pure water has been found in it, and one thousand four hundred rooms have been opened up.
Here is a reproduction of seven of them rooms. Two men of Deadwood of Dakota wuz over a year a-gittin' specimens of the stalactites and stalagmites which they have brought to the Exposition.
One of the rooms is called "Garden of the Gods;" another is "Abode of the Fairies," and one is the "Bridal Chamber;" another is the "Cathedral Chimes."
