The great wall of China was measured
in many places by Mr.. Unthank, an Amer
lean engineer, lately engaged on a survey
for Chinese railway. His measurements
give the hei sht at eighteen feet, AMI
width on top of fifteen feet Every few
hundred yards there is tower twenty four
feet square, and from twenty to twenty five
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 be-
fore the time of Christ In building this
immense stone fence to keep out the tartars,
the builders never attempted to avoid noun
tains or chasms to save expense. For 300
miles the wall goes over plain and noun
tain, aud every foot of the foundation is
in solid granite and the rest of the struc-
ture solid masonry. In some places the
wall is built smooth up against the bank
cheer decent of 900 feet Small streams
are arched over, but in tae larger streams
the wall runs to the waters edge, and a
tower is built on each side On the top OF
the wall there are breastworks, or defenses,
facing in and out, so the defending forces
can pass from one tower to another without
being exposed to any enemy from either
side 10 calculate the time of building or
cost of this wall is beyond human skill -
So far as the magnitude of the work is con-
cerned, it surpasses everything in ancient OF
modern times of which there is any trace

Sales by sample.

In the Philadelphia Court of Common
Pleas, before Judge Pierce, yesterday,
was decided the case of Saml Stern vs..
Angus Bickta, of this city, an action on
a promissory note. The defence was that
the sheepshns for which the note had
been given were not of the quality or
dered. In charging the jury the Court
said: "The general rule is, that where a
man is shown goods and buys them, he
buys them on his own responsibility.
If he buys by sample, it is the equivalent
of an affirmation on the part of the seller
that the goods are of the same kind as
the sample, and it is not guarantee of
the quality, but simply that they are the
same kind of goods 1t appears that the
defendent here had an opportunity of
seeing the goods, went into the yard,
and there examined as many of them as
he saw proper.
In this case the goods were all there
before the purchaser, and hs had the
opportunity of seeing exactly what they
were if he so desired. Verdict for the
plaintiff for 81, 1920.

WASHINGTON.
HOW THE FLORIDA DEVELOPMENTS
WEkB RECEIVED.
WASHINGTON, April "a, Il

"AhA'' Nhth4fEDs
WASHINGTON, April "a. 1873.
The Florida developments causeds some
excitement here-to-day, but not great
deal. The anti-Hayes republicans were
not sorry, the democrats were not sur
prised and the administration people
We're not scared. The leading democrats
treat the whole matter very cautiously.
They say that where there was fraud, as
they believe there was fraud, it ought to
De exposed, but they wait to see the
promised evidence. A leading democra-
tic Senator said
"One thing ought to be publicly and
definitely stated, which | know to be a
iact-Mr. T1lden has had no hand or part
IN procuring these revelations. l know
this TO be true"
Another democratic Senator being
asked ny friend whether this meant an
attack on the Presidential title, said
I'VE have nothing to 40 with that; we
want the facts brought out about Florida
and Louisiana and that the people NAV
have them. When Grant was asked by
a friend in 1864, when he took command
IN the East, whether he was going TO
capture Rlchmond, he replied:-'I am
going TO beat Lee And that is our posi-
tion: You ask if we are going to capture
the Presidency; | reply, we are going to
show up the frauds of the republican
party and beat it at polls"
good many of the Democrats suspect
that the revelations have been prepared
by republican politicians here. and bv
then hung into the hands of certain
Democrats, and this suspicion leads the
more cautious men of the party to wait
ior the expected documentary evidence,
the character as well as contents of
winch VIII be closely scrutinized.

A Man who Went About Circum
cising Children.

HE PAID READING A yisIT-ARREsTED
IN PHILADELPHIA-AN OLD OFTEN
DER.
A tall, gray-haired man, with black
mustache, apparently about forty years
of age, whose accent was so strongly
German that it was difficult to understand
him when he spoke English, came TO
Reading few weeks ago with smoked
meat and sausages which he offered Tor
sale. He represented himself to be a jew
in religion and called upon number OF
Hebrew families in this city Among the
families he visited was that OF Lew hel-
Ter, on South Tenth street, while he was
absent and represented To his wife that
he had been sent there by Mr.. Keller to
perform the rite Of circumcision on her D
year old boy, as he had not been properly
circumcised when a week old. He cir
cumcised the child and it is stated that
severe hemorrhage ensued.
When Mr.. Cellcr came home and was
told the particulars, he made intorma-
tion at the Mayors office against the cir
cumciser, and the police were directed
to look for him. He disappeared. 1t was
ascertsincd that the same man had visit
ed number of towns and cities through
out Pennsylvania, but what had become
OF him was not known until yesterday,
when he was arrested in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia EUeniHy Telegraph
SAYS he was arrested and taken to the
Central Station. "When asked his name
he gave it as ID. n. Pfeinstock, occupat-
ion butcher, and residence New York,
Philadelphia and other places, which
was finally ascertained to be Mt No. 10l6
or lois Girard avenue. He was charged
by Moses Meyers, of 1882 South street,
with having visited his residence while
he was absent and representing to his
wife that he had been sent there by the
properly authorized persons to perform
the rite of circumcision on her three
weeks old child. He did so but injured
the child. Then said Myers, 'he told
my wife that if the baby suffered any to
put her right shoe under her pillow and
sleep upon it, which would ease the
baby As the infant had already passed
through this peculiar religious ceremony,
Mr.. Myers made inquiry and ascertained
the prisoner had not been sent there;
also that he had visited several other
Jewish families, and in some instances
eXtorted money He then had him
arrested. The magistrate held him in
$1,000 bail for assaulting the child and
$1,000 for further hearing to answer
other charges to be brought against him.
Captain Helms said that the accused was
an old offender. Other charges will tie
made against him, one of which Is selling
unhealthy meat"
Inc fnlauelpnla ItnleS says that
Meyers child had been circuncised only
two weeks before the butcher came
around and performed the same kind OF
religious rite upon it again.
The HreSS says that the police authorities
had been looking for the circumciser for
some time, and the Ledger states that he
is an old offender well known to police
circles, and that there is some doubt as
TO his perfect sanity. He did not make
any charge for performing the religious
rite in Reading.
