Correspondence of the u. s. Gazette.

WASHINGTON, Jnne Ia, 1912,
J. R. Chandler, Esq The National institution for
the promotion of science held meeting last evening
in the large Hall of Patent office. which it occupies
with its various and already valuable collections
of specimens IN Natural Philosophy, derived chiefly
from the Exploring Expedition. The meeting was
numerously attended by gentlemen from different
sections of The Unlon and presided over by its Pres-
dent, Mr.. Ponsett who repaired to this city from his
residence, Georgetown, South Carolina, for the sole
purpose of being present. This evnces zeal for the
of science and an interest in the Of the
Institution, highly commendeble and worthy one Of
its principal founders and presiding officers.
Mr.. Preston addressed the meeting in his most hap
Ply manner. His address was pertinent, chase,
glowing, and sllendidly eloquent. SO powerful and
effective SO rich and captivating, were his remarks,
that or Two other gentlemen Of the highest stand
in and profound learning, from whom remarks were
expected, though not promised, could not be induced
10 follow him
Professors johnson and Espy of your city were
provement in steam boilers invented by him; and
the latter ofhis very simple, but admirable and ef-
feetivc contrivance for yen!ating ships and rooms
and remedyng smoky fret places. His apparatus had
been applied TO the ship ponns ylvana, and had in n
very short time drawn all the foul and mephc air
from every part of her, even her lowest hold.
The meengwas extremely gratifying to the mGrl-
hers of the Institution and Others present and gave an
impetus to lis future which cannot fail to G
felt. Every lover of science and general improve
ncnt must rejoice in the prosperity Of such Ma
ilonal institution and no fail be gra,fied
that there is least and neutral ground
which men of opposing political creeds, may NEE,
as friends and co-aborefs.

with indignation-and anon the glistenlng
tear betrayed the deep emotions of the heart
But it needs not that we should attempt de-
scription of the cloquenco of such man.
to say that Henry Clay spoke, would be suf-
ficient. We shall, at the earliest opportu-
nifty, present our readers the two speeches
in fnll.
Excellent letters were read from Hon.
Thomas Ewing, Hon. Boyd McNalcy, Hon.
J. r. Underwood, and other distinguished
gentlemen. A great number of volunteer
toasts were presented. The number on the
ground was estimated at $4,000, of whom
about 5000 were ladies'. All intoxicating
drinks were excluded from the ground, and
the day passed off most happily and without
the slightes, accident. Long will it be re,
membercd in the annals Of Kentucy!

"DEAD PEOPLE LIVE HERE" I'm Mac
kenzie's /" Second Campaign in China" he
thus describes remarkable suburb of Cam
ton:
zone suburb of the city deserves pariic-
ular mention being, in the literal acccpta-
ton ofthe term, a city Of the dead. Ii con-
sisted ola wcll-buit town, which was appar-
emily not inhabited by living beings, but de-
voted entirely TO the tenants of the tomb.
The front of the houses was appropriated to
the worship of Joss, while the back part was
divided into several small chambers, each
containing several collins, arranged on elc-
waited platforms, and surrounded with incense
burners. The outside of these chambers
was tastefnlly ornamcnted with beautiful
creeping plants while over the doorway
were generally inscribed some Chinese char
acters. The collins were very thick, and
made of camphor wood and, when OPEN
ed, contained embalmed bodies in the high
est preservation. Each "tenant of his mar
row bed," being attlred in his best clothes,
presented no unpleasing image of our long
sleep. One coffin, in particular, contained
mandarin, dressed in full uniform, with rich
satin robes and cap and button, dcnoting the
rank of the deceased: one hand held fan,
and the other Chinese chop, perchancc a
letter to Charon while some money was ar
ranged on his breast, in the form of cross
intended, no doubt, as fee for the boatman
The Chinese are, believe, very prticular
in paying respect to tho memory of thci
ancestors, which may, in some degree, ac-
count for the extreme ncatness of this i'm.
mensc mousolcum."
