China's Great Wall.

last deep gorge and deep rift in solid
rock, cut out by ages OF rolling wheels
and tramping feet we reach the great

archway tumbled in. This was the
object OF our mission-the great wall
OF China built 2l3 years before our

stone, Iaid in regular courses some
twenty feet high and then topped out
with large. hard burned brick, filed in

how one feels while standing on this
vast work, scrutlnizing its old mason

strolled or sat and gazed in silent
wonder. Twelve hundred miles OF
this gigantic work, built on the rugged,
cragSy mountain tops, vaulting over
sorges, spanning wild streams, netting
the river archways with huge, hard
bars OF copper; with double gates,

more than equal that OF all the 1OO,-

Something for Topcrs.

Philadelphia News-You likely

who has taken drink ofgood whisky
before breakfast for forty seven years,
and couldn't eat without it." Now
at the risk OF having this worthy but
prejudiced person laugh himself into
state of apoplectic, redfacedness let
me suggest that us old as heis, hemay
yet find a substitute-not only q
cheaper one, but one that will never
coax him to take more than is good
for him. Take any man who is i'll the
habit OF looking in the bottom OF the
glass for ''pure sociability' at inter
walls from noon until midnight, and
for stomach comfort before he breaks
his fast in the morning, and let him.
after he has arisen and dressed, repair
to drug store instead OF bar-room.
He has no appetite. Hs does not feel
as though he was "all there" Instead
OF n cocktail, let him ask the druggist
to prepare a mixture OF these ingredi-
ents and quantities, which, when mix
ed together, shall constitute q single
dose:
Chlorotorm, five drops.
Tincture OF ginger, half teaspoontul.
Compound tincture cardsmen, two
teaspoonfuis.

cellent thing to follow with, provid-
ed the patient is not OF Il particularly

become unstrnng upon very slight

are prone to try the slmilia similibus

case OF that kind is the drug store
again. Here is the dose
Bromide potassium. thirty grains.
Ceierina, two teaspoonfuls.
Elixir Valerianate ammonia, two
teaspoonfuls.
I'll guarantee that you will never
resort to whisky again after you have
tried whichever OF these doses which
may suit your particular case. As
soon as you feel able to eat, make
your breakfast OF oatmeal principally
for two or three days. On the day
after taking the first dose, invest in
two Havana oranges and substitute
the Juice for the plcb-me-up tonic. Ii

too sweet, throw them away and try
the tonic again, but eventually return

Omaha special:-Two years ago the
daughter OF Senator Pugh OF Alabama was
married, came to Omaha and lived here
some months and then moved to Council
Bluffs, Iowa. During all the time they
lived in Omaha and Council Bluffs the hus-
band treated her cruelty and kept her in
destitute circumstances. He also prevent
ed her, by force and confinement, from com
munication with her father. A few days ago
the wife by accident obtained an audience
with State Senator George Wright OF
Council Bluffs, to whom she told her
story and applied for assistance. Senator
Wright at once telegraphed to Senator
Pugh, who had been unable all this time to
find any trace ol his daughter The result
was that young Pugh, the wiie's brother,
arrived in Council Bluffs and driving to the
residence. obtained admission with IL
drawn revolver. He advanced on his
sisters husband, threatening to kill him.
The husband escaped out OF the back door
and came to Omaha. Young Pugh took
his sister and her little child and departed
for Alabama

Apropos of the decision by the su-
preme court OF the district of Colum-
bia, that Indians are virtually foreign
ers, Senator Dawes, chairman of
the committee on Indian affairs of the
senate, was not surprised by the de-
cision. He said our relations with the
Indians were anomalous and ridicu-
lous. When we fed them they were
the wards of the nation; when we
made treaties with them they were
[oreign powers, and when we wanted
their lands they were without rights,
like the bears or buffaloes. The only
way to settle the question was to
pass law dissolving tribal relations
and declaring the Indians citizens Of
the United States.

1 The Late Richard VI. Hoe.

New York Letter: The death OF the
late Richard NJ. Hoe calls our atten-
ton to the printing press fact ory,
which is the best. known establishment
on the east side OF New York. Every
body, indeed, has heard of the Hoe
presses, but ii the reader We're to seek
the place OF their construction he
would find it amid tnat dense popula-
tion which fills the vast area between
the Bowery and the East river. Ar.
riving at the spot, one will at once be
startled 10y its immensi.y An entire
square ~: Grand and Sheriff streetS(
is occupied, aud the area is not less
than four acres, which in New York is
a great deal OF land The offices are
large, and yet such is the number OF
clerks and draughtsmen that there is
no room to spare; and thence you
may pass across the courtyard to the
factory itself, where hundreds OF arti-
sans find employment. Hereare built
printing presses that cost $50, 900,
and which yield profit OF from So
600 to $40, 900; but it is a slow task,
and as no one else can build them
high profits are natural result. The
Hoe establishment is the only place
in this city which can boast of calls
from the greatest brain workers Oft
metropolis. In former days the senior
Bennett and Moses y. Beach and
Horace Greeley went thither to in
spect machinery, and latterly the
present Bennett and Dana, and also
Pulitzer, have stood side by side to
inspect the latest improvements. This
fact alone is enough to give the place
| distinction.
Progress in the manufacture OF
printing presses was slow to an as
tonishing degree until the opening of
represent century. Frankhn's press,
which is nov i'll the patent office at
Washingt on, is but little better than
| the earliest made--whose date WAS
three centuries previo,s-andt the most
rapid workmen could not exceed 200
in pressions AN hour. Inventions were
made i'll England and in Germany,
which brought steam into use, this be-
ing first adopted by the London Times
in lSl4. Isaac Adams was at the
same time making improvements in
this country. but Richard NJ. Hoe dis
tanced the extreme OF expectation
when he built the fist rotary cylinder
press in 1877. The plan OF u revolv-
| ing cylinder had been invented by Mich
olson in England many years previ-
ously, but it was III terly impracticable
until remodelad by Hoe. Since then
it has been continually improved, un-
til the present degree OF perfection has
been attained.

Senator j. s. Morrill,, OF Vermont,
whose late illness, it was feared,
would terminate fatally, enjoys the
distinction OF having served for a long
er period in Congress without inter
mission than any man at present in
either branch OF our national legisla.
ture. His service in the House of Rep.
resentatives began on December 8,
1855, nearly thirty -one years ago, and
continued to March 8, 1867, when he
entered the Senate, where he has re.
mained ever since. His present term
will expire on March 8, 1891. He
has, therefore, been in Congress, with.
out any break in the continuity OF
service, already nearly thirty-one
years, with nearly five years of his
term unexpired.

The Southern papers refer with no
small degree of satisfaction to the
steady growth of Southern pine in sa-
vor at the North. For several years
past it has been sent in schooners
from Georgia to New York, where it is
largely used in building, and it has be-
gun to find it's way even into the
Northwestern states, hitherto the
great lumber region of the country.
The pine of the Northwest is white,
which, though valuable for gener al
building purposes, is inferior to the
hard, resinous Southern pine for finish
ing work, flooring, fencing and decora-
ting, and is inferior to it also in last.
ing qualities.

.
Fire insurance as carried on in some
Swiss villages IS an illustration of pub
lie spirited communities. The COM
munal authorities, instead of treating
insurance against fire as q concern for
each householder's care, insure all
the buildings, the church, houses, sta
bles and sheds. The insurance of the
entire village is met by one single pol
icy and the cost is cheerfully met by a
slight increase in local self-taxation.
The plan is useful form of socialism
which might be feasible in small vii
lagos in this country, where the condi-
tions are favorable. Is is simply mu-
tual insurance in another form from
thai in general use.
