The following is the first reliable state

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

The great wall of China was measured in
many places by Mr.. Unthank, an American
engineer, lately engaged in n survey for o
Chinese railway. His measurements give
the height of eighteen feet and a width Oh
the top at fifteen feet. Every few hundred
yards there is n tower twenty four feet
square and from twenty to twenty-five feet
high. The foundation of the wall is 81
solid granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with
him a brick from the wall, which is sup
posed to have been made two hundred year
before the time of Christ. In building thi,
immense stone fence to keep out the Tar.
tars, the builders, never attempted to avoid
or chasms to save expense. Fci
thirteen hundred miles the wall goes over
plain and mountain, and every foot of the
foundation is in solid granite, and tho rcst
of the structure solid masonry. Ii some
places the wall is built up smooth against
the bank, or canons, or precipices, wher.
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.
in the top of the wall there are breast.
works. or defences facing in and out. &c
the defending forces can pass from one
tower to another without being exposed to
IN enemy from either side. TO calculate
the time of building or cost of this wall is
beyond human skill. So far as the magni-
tude Of the work is concerned, it SURPASSED
everything in ancient or modern times of
which there is my trace. The pyramids
of Egypt are nothing compared to LION
don Times.

CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR.

The editor of the MORNING APPEAL ac-
knowledges complimentary ticket to the
California State Fair, which is to be given at
Sacramento in September next. President
Boruck will accept our thanks for his courtesy,
and he may rest assured that We will do all
in our power to promote the success of that
admirable enterprise. The State Fairs Of Cali
forniain many respects, are the most interesting
exhibitions of the kind ever projected in this
country. This is so because the productions
as well as the productiveness of California
surpass those of any other State in variety,
exhuberance, size and fibre. We propose to
avail ourselves of the invitation to attend this
entertaining and attractive exposition.

RETURN OF TOURISTS. Last evening Mr.
W. NJ. Cary and wife and Judge c. N. Har-
ris and wife returned from jaunt to Hope
Valley, where they passed delightful time
There are great many pleasure seekers In
the valley from Ormsby, Lyon and Storey
counties, who are principally employed in
catching fish, which are devoured very short
time after leaving the water, and it Is said
that those who have not eaten the trout caught
there, in that way, know nothing about their
delicious flavor; they are rather stale when
they get here. Mr.. Cary reports a regular
old fashioned thunder and rainstorm in the
valley at o'clock last Monday morning,
something they had not experienced for years
The dairymen are making unusual quantities

Mr. Cary says, is rather short, but the grain
crop is over average The farmers are all

SENATOR JONEs.~-It seems that the rumor
that Senator Jones would pass this point 60

the Senator's purpose to come to Carson in

ladies of his family, and go to California by
the Tahoe City and Truckee route. If he
adopts this plan, his Carson friends can see
him face to face, and give him that hearty
greeting which they desire to offer.
