Strange Effect of the Touch of a Cat.
Mr.. Lewis Webb, in our town (Buena
Vista. Ga. is strangely effected. For
several years he appeared paralyzed in
his feet and legs. For some time he
went on crutches, but for the last eight
years has been walking with a stick
He says he could drive knife through
his foot and not feel it; that when he
strikes his foot against any object he
knows it, just. as he knows when he
strikes stick against a substance, by
the resistance offered only, and not by
the feeling. He frequently blisters his
feet in walking, but knows nothing Of
it until the blisters burst. He bathes
his feet often-sometimes in cold, some
times in hot water. He can not tell by
feeling in the foot whether water is hot
OF cold Thus he has lived for eight
wears, sometimes walking about, and
often in bed. When a cat touches his
foot he instantly feels it. The touch of
cat against his foot, whether the foot
is bare, or with socks on, sends instantly
pricklv sensations all through the foot.
He may blindfolded, but can instant
" tell the touch Of a cat, however
slight, whether day or night and
whether expecting or not expecting the
touch.-Buena Vista Argus. Ts5mai ,a

The Great Wall Of China. !

meaurem ents give hight of eighteen
feet aud a width on the top of fifteen
feet Every few hundred yards there
is atoWer twenty-four feet square, and
from twenty-five twenty-five feet high.
determination of the wall is of solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him a brick from the wall, which is sup
posed TO have been made two hundred
Yeas before the time of Christ. In build
ing this immense stone fence to Keep out
the Tartars, the builders never attempt
ed to avoid mountains or chasm to save
expense. For thirteen hundred miles
the wall goes over plain and mountain,
and every foot Of the foundation is in
solid granite, and the rest of the struc-
ture is solid masonry. In some places
the wall is built up. smooth against the
bank Or canons, or precipices, where
there is a sheer descent of a thousand
feet. Small streams are arched over,
but on the 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, defences facing
in and out, SO that the defending forces
can pass from one tower to another
without being exposed to the enemy
from either side. To calculate the time
of building, or the cost of this Wall, is
beyond human skill. So far as the mag
nitude Of the work is concerned, it sur
passes everything in ancient ormodern
times of which there is any trace The

funds be restored to them, IN order
that they may adjust their differences

Justice Hunt, sitting in the district court,
held that the company could not re-

case has once been argued before the

WHILE a colored man was engaged
In cleaning out the rubbish which had
accumulated in the building formerly
occupied by the defunct Dime Savings
Bank in Sacramento, CAL, the other
day, he came across what he supposed
were forty parcels Of $50 rolls of silver
The officers of the bank heard of the
discovery, and, rushing down to the
premises, We're chagrined to find that
the rolls consisted of lead pipe of the
diameter Of half dollar, and done up
in brown paper wrappers, which they
had exposed day after day in the bank
windows, thus quilting the public by
display ofsupposed coin.
