The Great Wall of China.

An American engineer, who, being en-
gagged in the construction of railway in
China, has had unusually favorable OPP
portunities for examining the famous
"Great Wall" built to obstruct the in
cursions of the Tartars, gives the follow
ing account of this wonderful work: The
wall is 1928 miles long, Is feet high,
and Is feet thick at the top. The founda-
ton throughout is of solid granite, the
remainder of compact masonry. At in
tervals of between 200 and 500 yards
towers rise up, 25 to 80 feet high and "a
feet in diameter. On the top of the
wall, on both sides of it, are masonry
parapets to enable the defenders to pass
unseen from one tower to another. The
wall itself is carried from point to point
in a perfectly straight line, across valleys
and plains and over hills, without the
slightest regard to the confguration of
the ground, sometimes plunging down
into abysses a thousand feet deep.
Brooks and small rivers are bridged over
by the wall, while on both banks of
larger streams strong fsnking towers
are placed.

Women Gamblers.

The number of lady gamblers in
London is increasing steadily. A cor
respondent of the Standard states that
there is more gambling among women at
the present time than has been the case
since public gaming tables were put
down by Act of Parliament. The harm
less bet of few pair OF gloves at race
meetings is now considered far beneath
the notice of dashing matron or fast
maiden. There are not a few female
"plungers" on the turf who 'put the pot
on" as the idiotic jargon OF the race
course has it, with as much eagerness as
the most dissipated subaltern at the
Raleigh, who stands to win heap of
money at Ascot or at Goodwood, with
the alternative of running his old father,
the country rector, if he loses, and al
lowing his sisters portions to be swal.
lowed up in paying his "debts of
honor." II the female plunger be un-
married she has recourse probably to
some accommodating dressmaker, or
worse still, she accepts pecuniary help
from some male friends, and perhaps
puts herself for life in the power Of
man who will one day make her pay
dearly for her discretion.
