So far a conflict between the authorities
and the employees OF the Cincinnati, Ham
iIton & Dayton and Dayton & Michigan
Roads have been happily overIed. A strike
was eminent on Monday morning, but a
timely dispatch sent over the wires of the
Roads at an early hour Monday morning,
assuring the employees that the order for a
reduction of ten per cent. from their wages,
to take effect on August first, had been re-
voked had the desired effect. These Roads
are lily prepared to meet such difficulty.
The employees, to some extent we believe,
appreciate the disadvantages the manage
ment has labored under during the dull
times of the past three years, and accepted
the late changes which compels them to
run through to Cincinnati instead Of stop
ping at Dayton, and requiring six men to
do the work Of nine, as undE the
former arrangement but when notified
that reduction of from 10 to rs per cent.
was to be added to this it was more than
they could stand. The dispatch was soon

A Retreat fer Inehriatss.

Rev. Edward Everett Hale made an in
teresting contribution to the temperance
discussion before the State Total Absti-
nance Society at Boston recently, in plan
which he says has been more or less on his
mind for thirty years, for the colonization
of poor men who wish TO break from the
iiqnor habit, but have not made themselves
liable to confinement in the leformatory in
sstitutions. Memo means somtimes move
for time TO temperance towns and remain
their till the moral Strengths restored, and
Mr.. Hale s plan is TO secure this retreat for
poor men by system of labor contracts
for two or three years, similar to the ellst-
ment in the army and navy. Some island.
like Psnikese or sGnttyhunk, in Buzzard's
Bay could .besecured and cheap dwellings
puilt, with small allotments Of landto each,
ald with large farms, shoe shops or other
industries. The class of men for whom it
is intended, Mr. Hale thinks, would jump
at the offer to be hired with their families
for two or three years. - is just what they
and their wives pray for, and with COM
Portable houses aud gardens, food without
rum aud spclety without temptation, the
men would, hefore their contracts expired,
be nes men In body and ambition. and
perhaps be able to bug their little homes.
and remain In them.

The Great Wall Of China.

The great wall of China was measured
in many places by Mr., Unthank, an Amer
lean engineer, lately engaged on survey
for Chinese railway. His measu rements
give the height at IS feet, and a width on
top OF 10 feet. Every few hundred yards
there is tower "a feet square, and from
20 to 20 feet high. The Foundation of the
wall is of solid granite. Mr.. Unthank
brought with him brick from the wall
which is supposed to have been made 200
years before the time of Christ. In build
ing this immense stone fence to keep out
the lartars, the builders never attempted
to avoid mountains or chasms to save ex-
pense. For 1900 miles the wall goes over
plain and mountain, and every foot Of the
foundation IS in solid granite, and the rest
of the structure solid masonry. In some
places the wall is built smooth up against
the bank, or caflons, or precipices, where
there is sheer descent Of 1000 feet,
Small streams are arched over, but in the
larger streams the wall runs to the waters
edge, and tower is built on each side. On
the top of the wall there are breastworks.
or defenses. facing in and out, SO the de-
Tending force can pass from one tower to
another without being exposed to an enemy
from either side. To calculate the time of
building or cost of this wall is beyond hu-
man skill. So far as the magnitude of the
work is coneeIned, it surpasses everything
IN ancient or modern times of which there
is any trace. The pyramids of Egypt are
nothing compared to it.-London Meas g
