THE Mosr STurEEpoUs Work OF HUMAN
HANDS. The Great Wall Of China was meas
ured in many places by Mr.. Unthank, an
American engineer lately engaged on a survey
for Chinese railway. His measurements
give the height at 10 feet, and width on top
of 10 feet Every few hundred yards there 10
a tower "a feet square aud from 90 to 45 feet
high. The foundation of the wall 10 solid
granite. Mr.. Unthank brought with him a
brick from the wall, which is supposed TO
have been made 200 years before the time OF
Christ. In building this immense stone fence
to keep out the Tartars, the builders never at.
tempted to avoid mountains or chasms to save
expense. 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 canyons or precipices whore there is q
sheer descent of 1000 feet. Small stream,
are arched over, but In the larger streams the
wall runs to the waters edge and a tower |,
built on each side. On the top of the wal
there are breastworks or defences facing ID
and out SO the defending forces can past
from one tower to the other without being
exposed to any enemy from either side. tt
calculate the time of building or cost of thi,
wallis beyond human skill. So far as the
magnitude of the work Is concerned, it sur
passes everything In ancient or modern times
of which there is any trace. The pyramid,
of Egypt are nothing compared to IL.

twelve years tho tinker-preacher worked, and

honored as its chief treasure. The citizens
still preserve articles once used by him, as
precious relics. A handsome new building
was erected for the Bunyan School in 1867,
and only four years since, bronze statue of
Bunyan was erected by the Duke of Bedford.
Such is life the tinker-preacher for years

POLITICAL NOTES.

Anderson has propagated too large a brood of lies
for one man to keep track of.
General Butler seems to think it is a good time to
empty his hat of those delayed bricks.
There isn't much left of Alexander Stephens, but
most of what there is seems to be backbone.
There are still no signs of a report from Glover.
He ought at least to furnish the country with bill
of expenses.
Mr.. Potter is trying to prove by witnesses that he
was formerly hostile to Tilden. This is waste of
time Public interest is consolidated only upon the
cause OF his conversion.
Fresh patches OF Louisiana swearers continue TO
arrive in Washington. They all in splendid
condition, every one Of them being backed heavily
to swear the bark off hickory tree at forty rods.
Anderson says he has pity for Sherman, but
he does feel very sorry for Stanley Matthew'S This
will be an affecting disclosure for Mr. Matthews.
The chances are that his feelings will be so wrought
upon that he will send Anderson elaborate letter
of thanks.
Ex-COngressman Darrall says of Andersons char
acter that while 1t might be considered bad in the
North, q" it was considered good to fair IN New-Or
leansD That is a tribute TO New-Orleans which will
be likely 20 prompt Mr.. DanalPs neighbors to so a
cunning for HIM when ne visits them again.
PItkin's associates in New-0rleans declare that
he will be governed in his testimony entirely by
General Butler whose especial friend he is. They

Secretary sherman is still determined to give the
Potter investigators chance to find out coed deal
more than they wish to- He says II they do nos act
upon his letter. offering to show intimidation in the
two Feliciana parishes, he will give the evidence to
the country himself. He has the testimony all col
lected and ready for use, and he declares Is slows
conclusyely not only intimidation and bulld0zng,
but murder.
Republicans of all kinds in Wisconsin unite in
belief that the party in that State is Of success
this Fall. Hitherto the strength Of the party has
been impaired by the squabbles Of factions but the
Democratic attack on the President has CONSOLE
dated and haTmonized the party, so thatits common
purpose now is the defeat of the old enemy. The
Republicans feel sure of carrying the State, secnr-
ing the Legislature, and holding their present prn-
Der, if not gaining more congressman.

There wa, a remarkable coincidence on Tuesday.
Two small knots of earnest Democrats, widely sepa-
rated. and having 80 far rs Is known, no commune
cation with each other even by telephone, made the
same mistake. Each mistook clam sauce for clam
soup. The first mistake so Mortified a statesman
known as "Gabe. Case" that he cried Great
Heayensp and "snatched plate" The effect OF
the other has yet appeared but there is doubt
that several statesmen whOare ndustrously search
ing for a fraud trail that doesn't double on them,
and run under thelr own wood pile, INDUCED IN pas
sionate ordinations when they heard of it, and
would have "snatched PLATE" had there been one
handy.
There was a clam-bake. it seems. on that day at
what our yiyacious contemporary, The UOrld calls
GENERAL Committeeman Gabe Cases Hotel" near
McCombs DAM A large number of gentlemen
whom The World Inadvertently, we presume -calls
politicians" were in attendance and assisting.
Among them we discover tho names of those we'll
known Reformers, Captain Isaiah Rynders ex-
Alderman Purroy, who broke Delegate JOnes's jaw
at Nyack; Major Quincy. of the Sherit's Office, who
recently expressed the opinion that Mr. TIlden could
never find a real irst-class gudng-star outside of
Iammany Hall; Mr.. S. Foster Dewey, private
secretary Of the late Mr. Tweed; Colonel John X.
Fellows, tho orator. Mr.. Hughes. the pedestrian,
and others no less distinguished " The instigator
of the clam-bake IAN Office of which know
nothing definite, but presume to be somewhat akin
TO that of Wiskinskie or Sycamore Twas Mr..
Shepherd +. Knapp, who footed the invitations"
and lis q strong candidate for the Mayoralty in
the next Tammany Convention" These gentle
men, TO quote the vivid description Of our cOntem-
porary, grapped with 20 barrels Of soft CLANS @
barrels of hard CLANS 200 lunches of asparagus 70
pairs OF spring chickens, barrel of Bermuda pota-
toes barrel OF sweet potatoes 100 pounds of ripe,
and 600 pounds of sheepshead" We have q
notion though it Is not stated in the report that
this entertainment of hard clans and soft CLANS, SO
generously garnished with asparagus, tripe and
