The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1869-11-27

SUSPENSION BRIDGES IN CHINA .-The
construction of suspension bridges has
been thought a signal achievement by
the great Western nations, but in China
they are of great antiquity, and many
still exist. They are made of iron
chains, and their MODE of construction
resembles in the main that used in
Western countries. They are. however,
generally confined to mountsinous re-
gions, and span rivers whose navigs-
ton is interrupted. There is one over
a river in the Yunnan province that is
said to have been first built by one
famous Chu-Kohiiang more than two
thousand years since, and there is a
second and much larger one in the
Kweichow province, spanning the river
Pei. This latter was built during the
Ming dynasty. 1t consists OF many
chains stretched across the river and
fastened firmly in the stone on either
bank from natural elevations above
other chains depend, and are made fast
to the span: and there are also chains
fastened to it from below, the object
being TO make the bridge as frm as
possible. A plank floor is laid on this
bed of chains; it is repaired at regular
intervals of from three to FIVE years at
the Imperial expense. The span of this
bridge Is said to be several hundred feet

TERRIBLE DEsTITUTIoN The Nevada
Transcript tells the following story of
poverty and starvation:
Antoine Barnia, a Frenchman, 70 years
of age, has been living for some years
in a miserable little cabin on Indian
Flat, between this city and Newtown,
with another Frenohman nearly as old
as himself. They have managed TO exc
out an existence by hunting when able,
or washing out little ground and pan
ming out few bits. a few days since
Antoine left the cabin barefooted, and
be was afterwards seen near Hoyt's old
crossing of the Yuba in this condition.
He remained away over night, and par.
ties who heard of it became satisfied
that be had become partially insane
from hunger and had wandered off
Search was made, aid after being away
three days aud nights, be was found on
Shady Greek, having probably crossed
the river at Hoyt's. During that time
he had not tasted food, and had become
completely exhausted from hunger and
exposure. Had he not been found,
death would have undoubtedly relieved
him of suffering in a short time. These
poor men are, it is true, beyond the
district of our Benevolent Society, but
we think it would be we'll for the So
ciety to look after them, and see that
they do not suffer during the winter.
A very little will suffice for their wants.

we look at the Tribune's long list OF
advertisements headed "Wants," many
of which Advertisements were written
and paid for by poor young men who
never stole pins worth and who
never forged the name of anybody, we
cannot repress protest against an
apparently gratuitous puff by Mr..
Greeley of the high character and
moral wortL of discharged convict,
who pleaded gully to escape rigorous
sentence, and who comes forth from
the Penitentiary, not an outcast, not "a
branded felon, but rich man. sur

TELEGRAPH SUMMARY.

We make the following brief sum-
mary of late telegraphic news from yes.
terday's Enterprise;
The Western Associated Press Con-
vention agreed to have reporters in
Congress. The place of next meeting
not determined on.
At the womsn's rights convention at
Cleveland Judge Bradwell was chosen
temporary chairman and he is reported
as making some pretty sensible remarks
as follows
Judge Bradwell said it had been re-
peatediy decided by courts tina; Ameri-
can women are citizens of the country.
A foreign horn woman is no: natura'
iized by the naturalization of her hus-
band she must make separate appii'
cation. Suppose Vermont eonfers the
ballot on woman, as probably it will,
if women On whom the ballo, is thus
conferred moved West, they might
claim the right to vote under the Fiji
teenth Amendment.
Some Kuxlu1ers in Tennessee started
to the Plantation of one Jones for the
purpose of driving off some negroes id
his employ. Jones was prepared, re-
sisted, killed one and mortally wounded
two. Officers came and arrested Jones
(who got off to Memphis-he being
whi,e) but Eve of the six negroes were
murdered by a mob of the "gallant sons
of the sunny south " in cold blood.
The President is reported as having
expressed himself unalterably opposed
to renewal of the reciprocity treaty
with Canada.
Gladstone made an after dinner speech
at the Lord Mayors Banquet which the
guild nancs pronounce to be in favor of
the settlement, our way, Of the Ala
bama Claims.
The Cuban Cause is said to be de-
clining. Jordan's object in proposing
to surrender was to save the Americans
who were always put in the extreme
front. Guess these statements are like
a bad cigar, half Spanish.
Two hundred aud thirty thousand
dollars have been subscribed in Wash.
ngton for an International fair. The
Presiden. gave S.. 900.

A EULoGY upon the late Judge Bald
win appears in the Vallejo Chronicle OF
the 10th inst, written, we have no
doubt by Mr. A. T. Hawley, for that
gentleman's initials are affixed to it.
As specimen of well onceived rhetoric,
we reproduce the following, which is
Mr.. Hawley's perora,ion:
There was knightly grace and ease
and consciousness Of strength about
passage in LongfeIlow's Golden Lee
gend" Walter, the Minnesipger, meets
his friend as he is en- route for the Holy
Land. Questioned as to his destinat ton,
Walter replies:
my pathway leads to Palestine,
My hopes are high, my heart is proud,
And like trumpet long and loud,
Thither my thoughts all clang and ring
NV life is in my hand, and 10
l grasp and bend it like bow,
And shoot forth from its trembling string
An arrow, that shall be, perchance,
Like the arrow of the 1sraelite King
Sho: from the window toward the East,
That of the Lords deliverance."
Purpose and courage scarcely less
high aud holy animated the bosom of
the man whose untimely loss SO many
weep for. A handful of dust hides and
covers him now. Bat he will not have
lived in vain If men will but emulate
his high integrity, his unsullied patri-
otism, and more than all, his CHARITY
for those who differed with him upon
those great questions in the support
and vindicatiOn Of which few more elo-
quent voices than his have been raised,
in the defense of which no Drawer
spirit than his ever stepped to the front.
How true it is that
" The good die first. and they whose hearts
are dry
As summer dust, lurn to the socket"

Curiosities Of Crime.

In Justice Connolly's Court, James
i Coburn, brother of Joe Coburn, com.
planned aginst Richard Darling, with a
view of recovering 1925 which he had
lost in Darling's gaming house, Twenty
eighth street and Broadway. Mr.. John
Graham, counsel for the defendant,
asked Jim whether he had ever heard of
, Ira Tapping. Jim said that he recollec-
ted no such person Mr.. Graham then
asked whether he had ever been 10 a
State prison in any part of the Union,
or had committed robbery on the high
way; and whether he was in Memphis
in 1860 and 1861. Jim said no to the
first questions, and yes to the third.
He said, also, tina; he was a rebel at
that time.
Coburn acknowledged that he had
frequented gambling house in Nassau
street, near Ann, but he had entirely
forgotten whether he was there last
week. Jim had 10 lawyer, and seemed
considerably annoyed at his examina-
ton. He answered after long pauses,
and seemed much afraid of committing
himself. He is a wiry chap, of middle
height, with thin face, prominent
nose, and a huge black mustache. His
eye is peculiar. 1t is Of very light
lead color, and has the glare of the lit
eral tiger.
Mr.. Graham thought Jim's claim alb
surd. He had been four or FIVE years
a gambler, and acknowledged the fact.
At times he won, but when he lost
wanted back his money. He had, he
said, lost $500 and Sl,7OO in two
houses in Springfield, Mass, and sued
for the return Of both sums, the smaller
of which he recovered. He had him
self, a; one time, kept gambling house !
on Broadway and Fulton street; and
once, when losing $500 in an establish
ment of the kind on Third Avenue,
held pistol to the proprietor's nose,
and compelled him not only to refund
the money, blu, to hand over about
double the amount. He had at a sub
sequent period been in the Tombs for
assault and battery, and, though likely
in a few hours to be liberated, chose to
escape, and render liable to discharge
his keepers, who had been friendly and
