The Chinese Will.

An American engineer in China has
been making fresh examination of its
"Great Wall" The dimensions have
been given so often that we need not
repeat them; but the structure, for q
distance of 1928 miles, 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, some
times plunging down into abysses a
thousand feet deep. Brooks and smaller
rivers are bridged over by the wall
while on both banks of larger streams
strong Aanking towers are placed" Per

against the Sentinel company and the AS

self to have sustained by reason of the

Daniel Pierce concerning the horrors of

A misplaced switch on the Marietta &
Cincinnati, near Athens, threw No. 10
west bound train from the track down an
embankment while running at the rate
of twenty five miles an hour. The ex-
press messenger was the only person
fatally injured. The forward cars were
total wreck. The engineer and fire
man were in the engine when it stopped
rolling, the engineer holding TO the
throttle valve, and neither seriously
hurt. The escape was miraculous.

A recent telegram from Miller's
Station, Indiana, says: "The body of
Burr, who accompanied Prof. Wise in
his balloon, was washed up on the lake
shore to-day, and the Coroner is now
holding an inquest. The body was easily
identified as that of Burr by the marks
on the underclothing. The rema ms
were well preserved having evidently
been in the water for some time" That
is all that is known OF the matter. 1t
is presumable, however, that the fate OF
Prof. Wise WAS drowning also. The
balloon which was seen by the railroad
engineer to pass out over the lake at the
same point as that ut which Burr's body
was .ohnd, evidently descended in the
lake shortly after leaving the shore.

The House of Correction, at Mil
waukee, is'furnshing one of the most
terrible sensations to the country it has
been cursed with for many day.
Daniel Price, who has just completed Il
two.year sentence in that institution,
charges that two inmates have been
murdered within the two years one
under the management of Dan. Ken.
nedy, who is now Chief of Police Of
that city, and the other quite recently,
under the prese Superintendent of the
house. They were whipped, starved,
fed on rotten food and common
garbage, and con fined in a horrible
place denominated the black hole"
connected with the institution.
The inmates, as a common thing,
have been fed upon embryo veal and
rotten meats, and beaten, overworked,
and confined in the dungeon without
mercy, and without regard to law and
Justice. Their bread was made of horse :
feed, sawdust and plaster Of Paris, their
meat consisted of dogS, horses and
abortive calves. Price has bones of dogs
and horses TO prove his statements. A de-
tective employed for the past two weeks
substantiates the charges, and an inves-
tigating com mittee has been appointed
Prices statement occupies eight
columns in the Milwaukee Sentinel, =, I

horrible tale ever told.

jackson Howard Association:
As President of the Howard Association
Of our city during the late epidemic it be-
comes me TO say few parting words after
the close of our Iabors rem tered in behalf o {
those who were stricken with yellow fever,
as well rs those who were suffering from
the effects OF its presence among us.
l. is but just to say that we were the
guardians of those who were left with US.
How faithfully we performed the trust, we
submit to the Judgment of those who were
the objects of our >olicitudc, and the Tecipi
ents OF our care aud attention.
There is no position in life more admira-
bic than that of one who, regardless of per-
sonal safety, abnegates SELF and without
hope o: earthly reward, labors for suffering
and afflicted humanity,
When our little band of Towards, untried
and unskilled as tnev were, enlisted TO per-
form the duties incident to their calling,
many were the mIsgivings as To the prOba
Bile result of their iabors. But when the
struggle came none shrank from duty, and
they enc ged from the fearful cpidmic,
conscious, hope, of having acted their
parts.
The Howard Association having been en-
trusted with relief fund, contributed in
the main by generous and philanthrOpic
friend, of the North. East and West, it was
essential and becoming that we should eX-
manner strictly in accordance with the
intentions of the donors. This [ am sure
We have done, as Will be seen from the re
port of the Treasurer OF the Association.
The monies of the Association were dis
burseG upon my checks and by my APP
prevail, and in every instance the vouchers
indicate for what purpose each sum was
expended We shun no scrutiny, and our
books are open for inspection at ali times.
You are aware that the duties devolVing
upon ana assumed b. me, were both
spou>ibe and onerous. They were per-
formed with an energy and diligence COM
meUSurate with my humble capacity, and
10 you gentlemen am | indebted tor what
ever credit or success may have attended
my efforts, so tremendously blended with
yours. The confidence reposed in me by
you, stimulated me TO renewed exertious,
and no duty was uno bserVed thar vas with
in my comp ehension-
The ability and fidelity displayed by our
own physicians as well as that of DIR. W
II. Watkins OF New Orleans, will enviaby
compare with that of any other afflicted
community. To them. to ministers of the
Gospel Who remained with us, t. the able
and interchangeable Treasurer Col. j. L.
Power. to our worthy and efficient Secre-
tary, Maj. +. G. Wall, aud to his Honor
Mayor McGill, are due the gratitude and
thanks of this entire community.
Trusting that kind Providence may
protect US in the future. and that the neces-
sity may never arise, that would Impose
upon serious and sad a duty as We
have just performed, l am,
Your friend,
