THE GREAT WALL CHINA.

Gov. Seward, speaking of the great wall
of China, which he examined during his
late trip to the East, says:
The Chinese have been for at least two or
three thousand years swall-making people. 1t
would bankrupt New York or Paris to build
the walls of the city of Picking. The great
wall of China is the wall of the world. 1t
is forty feet high. The lower thirty feet is
of hewn limestone or granite. Two modern
carriages may pass each other upon the sum-
nit. Ithas parapet throughout its whole
length, with convenient staircases, buttresses
and garrison houses at every quarter of a
mile, and it runs, not by cutting down hills
and raising valleys, but over the uneven
crests of the mountains and down through
their gorges, a distance of a thousand miles.
Admiral Rodgers and calculated that it
would cost more now to build the great wall
of China, through its extent Of one thous-
and miles, than it has cost to build the fifty
five thousand miles of railroads in the Uni
ted States. What a commentary it is upon
the emphemeral range of the human intel
lect to see this great utilitarian enterprise,
so necessary and effective two thousand
years ago, now not merely useless, but an
incumbrance and an obstruction

A NICE POINT.

During the war man named Smith had
a mule taken from him by the United States
military authorities for use in the army.
Smith subsequently died, and his widow
made application for payment. Pending the
application of the widow, the guardian of
Smiths infant children interviewed, claim
ing that payment should not be made to
the widow, but should be paid TO him as
guardian. The guardians allegation is that,
after Smiths wife died (who was the moth
er of these infant children), Smith married
again; after which Smith died, leaving this
widow (the applicant above described.)
But it is alleged that when Smith married
this second wife she had another husband,
and therefore; her marriage to Smith was
void. The guardian consequently claims
the money on behalf of the minor children
of Smith. The application, says the Wash
ington Chronicle, is in the third auditors
office, and the clerks there are puzzliDg
themselves over the cOnundrum.

A prisoner before Judge Eames' Court at

the evidence in the case justified holding
the prisoner for any great length of time,
and left the courtroom at brisk gait. The

The Morse Funeral.

NEW YORK, April 5.-An immense
thrOng gathered early this morning at the
Madison Square Presbyterian Church, to be
present at the services over thu body of
Prof. Morse. The crowd was so great that
many were unable to find standing room.
Among delegations present were Gov. HOff-
man and staff, the Committee from the Le-
gslature, Directors of the Western Union,
and of the New York and New Foundland
Telegraph Companies, representatives from
the Academy of Design, the Evangelical Al
lance, the New York Common Council,
aud various other delegations of lesser
note.
Shortly after eleven the funeral process
sion entered the church, the coffin being
borne on the shoulders of four men and
followed by mourning relatives of the de-
ceased. After the chanting of solemn music
Rev. Adams proceeded to deliver the
funeral Grafton, his text being ''Man cometh
up as flower and is cut down." He dWelt
at length on the virtues of the deceased and
traced his life as a christian, saying he
stood almost alone in the qualities of rel-
gion. Rev. Mr.. Wheeler, of Poughkeepsie,
then delivered prayer and the singing of
hymn concluded the funeral services, after
which the remains were viewed by the
spectators.
The stream of people who fled past the
decease was so great that it was half past
one before the cortege started for Green
wood Cemetery. The pail bearers were
VIM. Orion, Livingstone Morse, Gen. Dix,
Prof. Cornell, Cyrus W. Field and Peter
Cooper. Lines of people thronged the
route along Broadway. During the day
the public offices and buildings displayed
flags at half mast and the telegraph offices
were draped in mourning.

Joseph Potts, says the White Pine
News Of October 4th, the energetic Su.
perintenient OF the Eberhardt and
Aurora Company, last week received a
patent from Washington for an improved
apparatus by which quicksilver and
amalgam are saved by the use of galvan-
ic and electric batteries. One of these
copper boxes, with zinc plate underneath
the cover and combination Of rifles
was tested in the international Mil pre-
vious to its destruction by fire, and
resulted in saving of about fifty pounds
of quicksilver per week, and amalgam in
proportion, from one agitator, working
one-third of the tailings of the mill.
Potts intends to introduce his apparatus
in all the mills in this vicinity and
throughout the State as soon as possible
and no doubt il will prove profitable to
the mills aud pay for itself in a very
short time.
