Private advices from Paris state, on
good authority, that Gen. Dix has re.
ceived letter from Gen. Grant. i'm
which the latter says he will be happy
to continue him in the position of Min
lister to France If he desires to retain that
position, but Gen. Dix will resign. az he
intends to return to the United States
in the spring.
Dispatches from Athens state that the
resistance Of Greece to the wishes of the
Peace Conference is not so much the
work of the nation as Of noisy, reck-
less party called the party of action and
having certain control over the acts OF
the Government.
"A Cabinet Council was h ED to-day in
which several petitions, signed by Greek
merchants, were read. all in favor of
peace.
The Government was strongly i'm.
pressed by the appeals made in the name
OF the public interests of Greece. Its de-
cision will be made known in day or
two.
Private letters announce that Turkey
and Greece are arming to the teeth.
AS to Greece, King George has made
all the necessary preparations for an
active and vigorous eompaign. He has
advised his military household to be
ready at moments notice, has appoin-
ted the commanders Of his army, and
has drawn his plan of the campaign. He
is to place himself at the head of his
troops and lead them to the fight.
The war party is agititing the coun-
try by incendiary proclaim atoms, and
every day the walls of Athens are COW
cred with hand bills asking for war or
devastation.
NEW YORK, Oh.
The 7ri6une's Buenos Ayres cores
pendent states that the Washburn affair,
in Paraguay, is taking singular turn.
The two men upon whom Washburn
depended as witnesses are in custody on
charges that must be tried at Washing
ton, involving them and Mr.. Washburn
in conspiracy to overthrow the Gov
eminent of Paraguay.
Gen. Grant was yesterday driven by
Mr.. Bonner, behind the horse Dexter,
to different points of interest in this
city.
The Bristol boats will resume their
trips OH the LIST of April.
Hon. James Brady, one Of the most
eminent lawyers in this State, died very
suddenly at o'clock this am, paraly-
sis OF the brain. Mr.. Brady was ma
tive OF this city, and was, at the time Of
his death, in his 54th year.
A Buenos Ayres letter of Dec. % says
that the American fleet had all returned
from Paraguay, except the Kansas,
which is left at the disposal of Minister
Mcmahon.
On board the fleet were the two pris-
oners Bliss and Masterman, who had
been surrendered by Lopez on the de-
mand Ct Gen. Mcmahon.
The impression exists that the war
will soon be ended, probably by the
fight of Lopez to Europe or here, as he
is said to have been shipping large guam
titles of gold.

Noble Old TOMscr.

A Newfoundland dog, belonging to a
family in one of the Southern States, had
rescued one of his masters daughters from
drowning. The family were about To pro-
coed in al schooner TO st. Augustine. They
had embarked, and the vessel was swing
ing off from the pier, when the dog was
missed. They whistlcd and called, but no
dog appeared. The captain became rest
less, swore he would wait no longer gave
the order, and the craft swept along the
waters with spanking breeze, and was
soon q quarter of n mile from the shore.
The girl and her father were standing at
the stern of the vessel looking back upon
the city, which they had probably left
forever, when suddenly TowsCr was seen
running down to the edge of the wharf
with something in his mouth With a
glass they discovered that II was his mas
ter's pocket handkerchief, which had been
dropped somewhere on the road to the
vessel, and with some computations Of
conscience, he had sent his shaggy SER
want back to look after it. The dog looked
pitcously around upon the bystanders,
then at the retreating vessel, and leaped
boldly into the water. His master immc-
diately pointed out the noble animal to the
captain, and requested him 10 throw his
vessel into the wind until the dog could
near them. He also offered large sum if
he would drop his boat and pick him up ;
told him of the manner in which he had
preserved the life of his daughter, and
again offered him the price of passage
if he would save the faithful creature.
The girl joined her entreaties to those of
her father, and implored that her early
friend might be rescued. But the captain
was q savage; he was deaf to every APP
peal Of humanity, kept obstinately on his
course and the better animal of the two
followed the vessel, until his strength ex-
hausted, and his generous heart chilled by
despair he sank among tho more merciful
billows- Chambers Journal.

The Art Of Living Happily.

THE following maXims or rules of action
might, if strictly observed, go far to in
crease the happiness, or, Mt least, to
diminish the inquietudes and miseries of
life: .t
Observe inviolably truth in your words
and integrity in your actions.
Accustom yourself TO temperance and
be master of your passions.
BE not too much out Of humor with the
world; but remember it is Il world of
Gods creating, and however sadly it is
marred with Wickcdness and folly, yet you
have found in it more comforts than
calamities, more civilitics than aflronts,
more instances of Kindness toward you
than Of cruelty.
Try to spend your time usefully both TO
yourself and others. rIr
Never make an enemy nor lGse friend
unnecessarily. r-r- ste
Cultivate such a habitual cheerfulness
of mind and evenness of temper, as not TO
be ruffled by turmoil, inconveniences, and
crosses.
BE ready to heal breaches In friendship,
yand to mako Differences, and shun Itiga-
tion yourself as much as possible, for he
is an i'll calculator that does not perceive
that one amioablc settlement is better than
two law suits ma e'''ail
BE it rather your ambition to acquit
yourself well in your proper station than
TO rise above it. s-,., -.
Despise not small honest gains, and do
not risk what you have on the delusiVe
prospect of sndden riches. If you are in
a comfortable thriving way keep in it, and
abideyour own calling rather than run
the chance of another In a word, mind
10 "use the,wofld as not abusing it," and
probably you will find as much comfort in
II as is most fit for frail being who is
merely journeying through il toward an
immortal abode i.,41i 30 u.1b arnls 3, .,..

The Chinese Wall.

SINCE writing my. last letter from the
Tower of Piangfu. l have traversed over
the side and ruins of the ancient OutwOrks
of the Chinese wall proper, as far as Suet-
schyn, on the border of the desert of Kobi
or SChamo, and through the aid of my
kind friend and interpreter, Chung Wo,
have collected much valuable information
with regard to the object which led to the
defiance of modern engineering, still re-
main the great architectural wonders of
the world, in comparison with which the
pyramids and temples of Egypt are mere
specks. This curtain wall varies in dis.
tance from the true wall from one mile to
ten, and for engineering skill il, the scleet
8tion of defcnsable points, when We con
sider that escalade was the only means BY
which the Northern hordes of Mandschu-
ri and Tsinig gians attempted its passage,
it would have tasked the judgment of q
Todleben to have found better line of
defence, ~
The material used for building the first
or outer walls was kiln-burnt bricks, and
its construction was evidently intended to
cover the progress of the more substantial
innerTf fort tihcations of Stone. p. According
TO the Information derived from Father
Ing 90, a learned Bouse, of the Buddhist
Seminary Jaaing Poo, the construction of
the first wall of brick occupied period of
! eight huntlred years, during which three
million of workmen were constantly en-
ployed. Like the frontieTsmen of Ameri-
ca, they were obliged to combine the occu-
patton of warrior, artisan, and probably
agriculturist.
During its progress there were upward
of two thousand forays and diversions,
WHICH must have greatly retarded the

thent!cated accounts, about eighteen hun

capable of producing enough to supply
the wants of garrison such as would be
required for its defence. And the economy
of the ancient Chinese Government re-
quired that its military organizations

duty engaged in the cultivation of the soil,
or such mechanical employments as were
adapted to the wants of the army.
The existence cf these two walls has
led to the discrepancy in the relation Of
traVeleFs-those who have visited it from
the north and west contending that it is
a structure of brick, in a ruinous condition
