les on his feet, on account Of his wcll-known
ferocious nature, got loose and escaped from
his stable. At six o'clock in the morning
a man by the name of Kenny was sent out
to look for the horse, and two hours after
he was discovered dead in the horse track
where h, had been killed by the stallion
while trying to catch him. The body of
the man was frightfully mutilated, his
breast being torn. and bitten in most
shocking manner, and disfgured by the
hoofs of the fierce animal, that after throw

IHE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.-Tbo

greatrwall of China esass nsssnred In man
places by Mr.. Unthank, an American en-.
gagged on survey for Chinese railway
His measurements give the height at eigh.
teen feet, and width on top of fifteen feet
Every few hundred yards there is tower
twenty-tour feet square, and from twenty
to forty-fivc 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 b. G. In building this immense
stone fence to keep out the Tarsars, the
builders never attempted to avoid noun.
tains or chasms to save expense. For 1900
miles the wall goes over plain and noun.
tain, 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 up against the bank, or canous, or
precipices, where there is n 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
arc breaStworks, or detenses, facing in and
out, SO the defending force can pass from
one tower to another without being exposed
to an enemy from either side TO { .cu
latG the time of rdild!ng or cost o.s-this wall
is beyond human skill. So far as the mag
nitudc of the work is concerned it sur.
passes everything in ancient or modern
times of which there is any trace. The
pyramids of Egypt arc nothing compared
to it.

CoLoRED MoRTALITY-The extraordi.
nary mortality among negroes of the Uni
ted States is beginning to arouse attention
at the North, and the New York Times
asks. thus the seonyontiessrs'-,s ,ssptt l,ss5
people Of North Car0YI1a, now in session. AT
Raleigh, shall consider what must be done
to decrease the alarming death rate. 1t
seems that in all the large cities where the
negroes have consrcgated since the war the
average of deaths among the blacks is at
least do lble and sometimes us much as five
times as great as among the whites. In
Richmond, for instance, Ia white people
ana % negroes died during the week end.
ing August 2S, this year, while the deaths
during the week, in last year, were | l whites
and % negroes. Memphis shows record
still more startling, for during 1876 G52
whites and G0l negroes died ,whic:l is a
much greater mortality for the ncgror. than
in Richmond, because of the larger pI opor
tion Of white people in Memphis. But
while this shows that very nearly four times
as many negroes as whites died in 1876, the
mortality reports this year indicate an in.
creased death rate among the doomed col
ored people, 14S negroes and only 12S white
people having died in Memphis during tn,
months of July and August last-a proper
ton of five negroes to.one white man. The
causes of this excessive mortality arc wei
understood and, though the matter is no
political in itself the, negroes have certainl,
been brought to this dreadful condition by
politics. If they had been permitted to re
main IN agricultural districts, instead o
being encouraged in every way to herd il
1.-The cities for the use of the party whicl
employed them as voting cattle, this terrible
death rate would never have occurred

tion, the number of immigrants
arriving on our shores exceeding
the number of persons carried off
by the war. The present decade is
one of light immigration, and this
movement will not show as con-
spicuously in the next census as it
doesin some of the proceeding ones.
Some of the States will probably
exhibit decrease of population by
the transfer Of a portion of their
numbers to the newer States. TAX
ing these facts into consideration,
it is probable the census of 1880
will not show over 100000. This
will be a large population for a
country which ninety years ago
numbered only 1929, PA souls, all
told. 1t will show that we have be-
come a great people-greater in
numbers than France, Germany
or England, and inferior to Russia
only of what we call the civilized
nations-and possessing a military
strength not equalled by any other
people on the globe.

The moralitle. Of anmhlsrs.

Brooklyn Eagle.l
The fact is that the proprietary
gambler, like Morrissey, is, in the
true sense of the term, no gambler
at all. He simply provides the
means for other men to gamble
without taking any risk himself,
and he receives his profits with pre-
cisely the same certainty that the
broker does or the merchant who
sells on commission. He provides
a table and implements. If it is
faro, his business is to take and pay
bets made between the players, re-
serving to himself the profits of
''splits," which recur with GER
tainty that is marked with a fixed
''per centage." His risk is almost
nothing, his certainty of gain fixed.
There are few live men who have
not at some time bet money. The
practice Of gaming in a small way
is almost as common in the COM
munity as that of eating. All
classes, except a few conscien-
tiouSly strict, play the national
game of ''poker." No disgrace or
reproach is implied in it. We do
not argue that providing a gam
bling house, as Morrissey does, is
not reprehensible. 1t is highly so.
The law forbids it, aud the Hon.
John is called frightful names be.
cause he breaks the laws, and does
it openly. Yet people who thus
characterize him should remember
that after all it is not Morrissey
who breaks the law, but the men
who patronize his house, and in
obedience to the demands of whom
his house is open. The writer has
seen at one time in Morrissey's
gambling house three clergymen,
interested spectators of the game
OF faro. They thought they were
lncognito. One was professor in
a well known college. Another the
principal of a large seminary. The
third was and is the pastor of a
thriving church. They were not
there simply for the purpose of
learning the facts of what they
could denounce. They remained
too long and exhibited too keen an
interest in the game and excite.
ment. Their names shall be kept a
sacred secret. But by their pres
ence there, through motives of Gu
rlosity, they were partakers with
the proprietor in the breaking of
the law.

A PASTORAL.

The following poem by A. ]. Monday, a
hitherto unkl owD English poet, is not only
sweet, ma ural and easy in its flow, but it is q
marvel in its versifcatiOn. Observe the inge.
nious manner in which certain words in the
first stanza are made to rhyme with the cor.
responding words in the second. and SO on
with the third and fourth, etc.:
1 sat with Doris, the shepherd maiden:
Her crook was laden with wreathen flowers
l sat and .woed her through the sunlight
wheeling
And shadows stealing for hours and hours.
And she, my Doris, whose lap encloses
Wild summer roses of rare perfume,
Ahe while ! sued her, kept hushed and
The shades had darkened from gloss to
gloom.
She touched my shoulder with fearful finger :
~, one tala, We hnger; we must not stay;
NlS neck IN danger. my sheep will wander;
bonoiu them yendeF-how far they StrsyP'
answered bolder, " Nay, let me hear you.
And still he near ysu, aDd still adore;
Nowolf norstranger will touch one yearlinR
AN! stay, my darling, one moment more
She whispered, signing: "There will be sorrow
Beyond to- morrow. if ] lese to-day;
Ny fold unguarded, my flock unfolded,
lshall be scolded and sent away"
Said 1, replying. If they do miss you,
They ought to kiss you when you get home /;
" II rewarded by friend and neIghbor
Should be the labor from which you come. ;"
" They might remember" she answered
mRekly,
That lambs are weakly and sheep are wild,
But if they love me it's none SO fervont;
L am servant, not child"
Then each hot ember 81 wed quick within me,
And love did win me to swift reply:
An! do but prove me, and none shall blind
you,
Nor fray nor find you until die"
She blushed aud startled, and stood awaiting.
AS II debating in dreams divine;
But did brave them-I told her plainly
She'doubted vainly; she must be mine,
So we twin-hearted, from all the valley
ID d chase and rally tNe nibbline ewes.
And homeWard drove them, we tive together,
Thro' coming heather and cleaning deWs.
That simple duty from grace did lend her
nay Doris tender, my Doris true;
Ihat l. her warder, did always bless her.
And often press her to take her due.
And now beauty see fills my dwelling
Win love eXcelling and undeh ed
ana love doth guar5 her, both fast and fer

A wrecked Life.

Mrs. Stuart, the young married
lady whose suicide created such a
sensation in the upper circles of
New York society, was buried
Wednesday, her burial robe being
the satin bridal robe she had worn
only a few months before. Her
face was composed and calm, and
loving friends brought beautiful
flowers to her funeral as once they
brought to her bridal. Her last
letters have been kept from the
public, but the New York Times
says of the one to her husband.
"The fourth letter was addressed
to her husband. 1t was couched in
mild and affectionate language, but
was absolutely terrible in its con-
tents. 1t called the attention of
Mr.. Stuart to their wedding six
months ago. 1t referred to the
homes they had left to go through
the world together. 1t reminded
him of the blessings, happiness,
and prospects they had started out
with, and recalled the good reasons
the bride had to look forward to the
future with the most sanguine ex-
pectations. 1t spoke of their VOWS
hers to love, honor and obey him,
and his-to love, cherish and sup
port her. 1t said that if ever a wo.
man went honestly and lovingly to
a husband, she went so to him, and
if ever woman had been a true and
afectionate wife, she had been one.
1t then, in painful language, showed
how the change had come over her
dream, aud how she had seen the
rich web of her fancy gradually
drop from her full and glowing
ideal until it left the mere skeleton
Of her hopes, an unbearable, ghastly
reminder Of what they had been
and to what they were reduced. 1t
pictured ip the language Of youth
ful despair the gradual sinking of
her husband into the power of the
vice of drink, until be became alb
solutely lost to himself and to her,
and became cold, selfish, repellant,
cruel, and finally intolerable. And
then it is said all this being SO, ab.
solutely SO, unchangeably so, she
had no wish to live any longer
her every hope was gone, and she
