the great wall, but, OF course, OF smaller
proportions.
#fi LENGTH or WALLS.
According to the latest measurement
the wall around the Tartar City is four
teen and half miles long, the enclosed
area having a length from north to south
of four and onethlrd miles, and width
of three and two thirds miles. The
length of the wall around the Chinese
CITY, from where it leaves the larger walt
to where it Joins it again, is ten miles and
the distance around the whole capital is,
therefore, twenty -four miles and half.
Over each of the gates, and at the cor
ners of the walls, are paviilons OF two or
three stories, which are filled with port
holes. and resemble the sides of an Old
three .decked ship-ofthe-line, but these
structures, like the walls, are entirely des-
titutc of all ordnance, and what at first
annears to be the frowning mouth of q
cannon in each port hole, is found, on a
nearer approach to be merely rude imita
tions made with black paint, as is .evi
dent from some ef-these painted portsbe
ing raised to admit air.
aa9il9a sTARwAYs. " sea VI
There are esplanades or stairways a
the gates for ascending to the top of thu
wall, and though natives are not permit
ted to frequent it, foreigners are allowed
TO walk there and it is their favorit'
promenade, because it is clean and Dir!
and above the vile fumes of the filth,
and dusty streets.
SAND MOUNDS
Asthe plain around Picking is composed
of SAND and clay, immense mounds o
sand and dust are seen piled up agains

These additional observations are made !:

has need of conscience, it is the editor
OF popular journal +; if any man needs

How to Stop a Paper.
From the orthwestern Advance.

From the Northwestern Advance.
The following is so we'll said by the ed
itor Of the WnusdW Wisconsin, we cannot
forbear commencing it to our subscribers
We frequently receive a copy of our pa
per, sometimes with the name of the sub
scriber as we wrote it on the margin (no
post office "refused." Where to look
for the name on our list, we know not.
Then, again, after a person has received
ana read the paper for a year, they direct
the ostmaster tn have the paper stopped,
without having paid a farthing tor it.
Here is the paragraph:
You have an undoubted right to stop a
newspaper whenever you are disposed,
upon payment of arrearage. Do not hes
itate to dc so on account of any tender
ness for the g feelings" of the editor.
Don't you suppose he would stop buying
sugar of you, or meat, or clothing, or dry
goods if he thought he was not getting
his moneys worth and why should you
not exercise the same privilege with re-
gard to him or his wares when you get
tired of them? And when you discontin-
ne u paper do so manfully. Don't be SO
spiteful as to throw it back to the post
master with coutemptuous al don't
want it any longer!' 70 and then have Re
fused written upon the margin, and then
the paper returned to the editor No gen.
tleman ever stopped a paper in that way
no matter if his head was covered with
gray hairs that should be honorable.
Ii you do not wish longer to receive a
paper, write note to the editor, like q
man, saying sos and be sure that arrear-
age is paid. That is the way to stop a
newspaper.

A VENERABLE OLD AGE, The follow

for by him-that is, that the old lady
made the reply given here, not that she
was quite as old as she claimed: When
the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry en-
tered the town of Dawson, Georgia, in
the spring Of 1865, among those who vel
coined them was a negro woman whose
appearance denoted extreme old age

rode up to her and asked, How old are

the golden fishes. East of that is a
large area chiefly devoted to the culture
of vegetables, it being the theory of the
Chinese that the walls of city should
not only enclose space enough for 1T;
inhabitants but sufficient lands for them
to raise the food they require, and there,
fore that they may be able to hold
against siege for an indefinite period
A short distance west from the Altar OF
Agriculture is an artificial pond called
the Pool of the Black Dragon, where the
Son of Heaven performs certain rites
when his people are suffering from a
severe draught or an extensive deluge.
If one desires to witness shocking
sights he needs only to go to the public
execution ground at The Western South
Gate of the Tartar city, where he will
always see several cages filled with the
heads of unfortunate celestlals, in every
stage of decomposition.
THE PROHIBITED CITY.
The Tartar City is composed of three
rectangular areas, one within another.
The inner one is known as the prohibited
City or Palace and no western barbarian
has ever entered this sacred enclosure
since the Jesuits were ordered out OF
the empire, one hundred and fifty years
ago. Our knowledge of it, therefore,
comes from them, slightly modified by
information given us by the natives and
by what we have been able to observe
ourselves. Passing up the Meridian
avenue we come to gate which opens
into spacious courtyard, and continuing
in the same direction we approach the
gate of Heavenly Rest. Beside it is a
high tower containing an enormous gong,
which is said to have been used during
the previous dynasty, as now, for any one
to strike who has complaint or an
appeal to make to the Emperor, but rs
death is the penalty for all who dare to
exercise such privilege and then do
not successfully prove their claim, we
can naturally infer that the Emperor is
not often disturbed by its harsh rever-
berations.
1t is in front of this gate that success.
full generals display their trophies and
captives.
On our right hand as we face the
north, is gate opening out into an en-
closure containing large lumber of
which are collectively styled
the Great Ancestral Temple, and there
are preserved the tables Of he deceased
Emperors and Expresses, sand the inn
perial family worship their fnrefathers.
On our left is corresponding gate
opening out to the Altar OF the Gods of
Land and Grain, where the Emperor
alone performs sacrifices to these deities,
who are supposed TO have originally
been men and have been canonIzed for
the great benefits they conferred on man
kind. This altar is composed Of tw"
stories, each five feet high, the upper one
being tifty-eight feet square. Its north
side is black, its east side green, its west
side white, and top imperial yellow 1t
would be considered high treason in any
officer to erect similar altar IN any part
If the empire

THE ENTRANCES.

At most cities there is but one entrance
through this semi-circular wall and that
is usually found on the side. Only one OF
the gates of Pekin has three entrances,
and that is the Central South Gate, and
the middle can never be used except by
the Emperor. The wall around the Chi
nese city is much smaller than that
around the principal or Tartar City, be-
thirty feet high and twenty-five feet thick
at the base, but the inner surface slopes
so much that the wall is only about fifteen
wide at the top. 1t has crenellated par

A TORPID SYSTEM.

Sometimes, without any assighables cause
the physical strength and animal spirits give
way, and strange torpor falls alike on the
body and intellect There is little or no pain
perhaps, butthe natural vigor and elasticity
of the nervous and muscular system seems to
have departed. and an indifference to the plea
sures of life, and even of its grave responsible
tiles, takes the place OF that earnest interest in
both which claracterizes every well balanced
mind when in q healthy condition. -
This state of partial collapse is often the pre-
mouitory symptoms Of some serious malady.
It indicates unmistakably that the vital powers
are laneuisbing and need q stimulant. In such
csaes the effect of few doses of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is wonderfully beneficial.
The great tonic wakes up the system from its
dose The secretiops and the. circulation
receive q new impetus The relaxed nerves

That such Radical change should be pro-
