WASHINGTON NOTES.

The 10th infantry, stationed at Fort
Brown, Tex, has been authorized to remove
into the interior, as the threatened overflow
OF the Rio Grande will drive them into the
yellow fever district.
Acting Secretary of State Davis says no
instructions have been given Stephen Mean
ey ARRESTED in Ireland) as to his action in
surrendering his bail bond; also, that any
action of this kind Meaney may have taken
Is entirely on his own responsibility.
The Washington monument is gradually
crawling upward. Course 294 is finished,
and when the cargo of granite on the way
arrives the ascent will be more rapid. 1t
looks now as If this generation might see
the completion of this wonderful work.
General Hazen, Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General, will act as head of the depart
ment until the return of Judge Howe. Mr..
Hatton, First Assistant, is to attend meet
ing of his old regiment i'm Ohio, and Mr..
Elmer Is away I'm consequence of the death
of his mother IL Is not often that the
Third Assistant is called upon to act as
Postmaster.
It Is now denied that General Sturgis pre-
ferred charges against the Commissioners
of the Soldiers Home. This statement Is
unjust TO General Sturgs as well as to the
commissioners who sought his REMOVAL
The investigation into the affairs of the
home was begun by the Senate before Gen
eral Sturgis was appointed Governor, and
he was summoned In the course of It like
any other witness supposed to be CONVEX
SAINT with relevant facts. He no doubt tes-
tilted frankly and honorably without favor
or prejudice.

PoTENTirE.-Englisll mine owners

some experiments made with new
explosive called 'polentite," which,
although it has not been before the
public very long, is strongly advocated
by many who have tried it on account
OF its clieapness, safety and effective
results Experiments made at the
Devon Friendship mise, England, il is
said, have proved highly satisfactory.
The explosive was first tried under
ground, with great success and free
dom from noxious gases. Some inter
esiIng experiments with potentite and
dynamite were aiterwaltl conducted at
the surface, A solid pl ce cf cast
icon, I feet long, 2l inches vide, and
III inches thick, was fred with two (
cartridges, and the entire Block was
blown TO pieces. A smaller quantity
would probably have heen sufficient
for the work. Dynamite when tried
ppo,ia i similar block appeared to pro-
duce no perceptible result. Potentite
does not cont ain its own means of ig-
nition, and may he transported and
stored with safety. This is an impor-
tant point as affecting railway author

without any objection, a cartridge
of potentiie is stated to be much light

The GREAT WALL OF CHINA.-An
American engineer who being enga.
ed in the construction a railway in
China, has mad unusually favorable
opportunities of examining the famous
Great Wall, built to obstruct the in
cursions of the lartars, gives the fol-
lowing account of this wonderful work:
The wall is 1928 miles long, Is feet
wide, and Is feet thick at the top.
Tue foundation. Throughout, is of solid
granite, the rena nder of compact ma
sonry. At intervals Of between 200
and 800 yards, towers rise up, 25 to
80 feet high, and "a feet in diameter.
On the top of the wall, aud 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
perfectly straight line, across valleys
and plains and over hills. without the
slightest regard 10 the confgnratlon
of the ground, sometimes plunging
down into abysses thousand feet
deep. Brooks and rivers are bridged
over by the wall, while on both banks
of larger streams strong aanking tow
ers are placed.

killed in bait WAS beardless boy
not twenty years old, from North
Carolina, in May, 1861. THIS was
the FIRST blood shed in the Southern
cause There was two First Georgia
regiments which went TO the war IN
ApuI lS6l-the Fnst Regulars, who
were sent TO Savannah, and the
FIRST NoluutoeIe, who were ordered
to Pensacola under Col. Ramsay,
from Augusta. There were two
companies from Augusta, Ga, in this
reGment-one Of boys just from
school, and Que OF older citizens OF
Augusta. la the latter company
was tailor, who in a irolic caught
and put in his bosom garter, or, az
sometimes called, thuuder-aud-
lightning snake. There is a variety
Of this species of serpeut--some
whose bite is deadly, and others who
are hot at all poisonous. The sol
der made mistake, as there is but
very little difference in .heir looks.
Whilst going around with the snake
in his bosom crowd Of his fellow
soldiers gathered around, and in a
opint OF bravedo he took it out aud
provoked the reptile until it bit him
on the back Of his hand. from which
he died very soon. 1t was killed,
taken TO Augusta and preserved in
alcohol Beng in that city few
moaths alteIward | saw the reptile,
which was two feet long and about
the size OF childs finger, All the
members OF The First Grorgia Regi-
ment viii iocollect this circum-
etance.
The first soldier killed in battle
on the Southern side was at Big
Bethel Church, fifty miles from Gut
Town, Va. BENJAMIN Butler had
landed the fret Yankee troops in
Virginia in May, 1901 and was met
by Virginia regiment at the church
named General Wadswortb, oil
Connecticut, was in immediate com
mand, and upon seeing the Southern
troops advancing on him Jumped
upon log, waved his sword over
his head and ordered his men to Gre.
They did 80, and the North Carolina
boy, who was a volunteer in the Vir.
gina regiment, fell dead, The only
one killed Oh our side. Immediate-
ly our men returned the FIRE, shoot
ing the General from The log, and
his soldiers left that battlefield.
These two men, one on each side,
was the FIST blood shed in The war,
except tho men OF the M lssachusetls
