Strength OF Walls.

1t is found that walls laid up of
good, hard burned bricks, in mortar
composed of good lime and sharp
sand, will resist pressure of 1900
pounds per square inch, or $4,000
pounds per square foot, at which fig
ure it would require 1000 feet height
of twelve inch wall TO crush the bot
tom courses, allowing 1875 pounds as
the weight Of each cubic foot. II also
appears from accurate calculations
and measurements that walls laid up
in the same quality of brick and NOR
tar, with one-third quantity Of Port
land cement added to the same, are
capable of resisting some 2, 500 pounds
per square inch or $50, 1000 pounds per
square foot; this would require q
height Of wall 200 feet to crush the
bottom ricks.-Builder and Wood

A Ghost ro,,.d tn. Bells.

Before the earthquake shook it down,
the old guard house or police station
was just across tho street, in front OF
tho church. Every night for years an
old policeman, who had grown old
and decrepit in the service of his
country and lastly of his city, kept
watch at the door. Hc had seen many
strange sights, and he always said that
the strangest he had ever seen was the
dead man ringing the chimes from the
belfry of old St MichaePs. He had
seen the shrouded figure, time and
again, climb up to the bells, and, not
touching tho ropes, which had been
pulled so often by living hands, swing
the heavy iron tongues against the
sides Of the bells and clash out q fear
full melody which thrilled while il
mortified the listener.
He would tell you, if you cared to
listen to his story, how the ghost had
been murdered, for in its normal state
it had been murdered by the thrust OF
an Italian stiletto in Elliot street. The
spirit was ito walk tho earth, revisit
the glimpses of the moon," ring the
old chimes, and do other horrible
things, until the murderer was cap,
tured.
A few minutes before midnight the
old Waterman would SEQ this spectral
chimer enter tho church doors, for
getting to open them, swiftly and in
a ghostly way glide up the steps OF the
winding stair, pause under the bells
by the ropes where Gladsden rings
them, pass swiftly ON without touch
ing them, climb on into the gloomy
belfry and stop beneath the open
mouths OF the bells. They yawned
down upon it, as if striving TO swallow
up the restless spirit. Suddenly, as il
the inspiration had come, the shrouded
hand would move silently and rapidly
from iron tongue to iron tongue, and
the wild eldritch music would swell
out upon the midnight air.-Atlanta
Journal.

Explosive Potash Tablets.

Engineer Fosburg, of the Chateau
gay road, had peculiar experience
Wednesday. He had q number of
chlorate of potash lozenges in his vest
pocket, and these exploded while he
was at Lyon Mountain, tearing away
and burning his vest and trousers OH
ono side down to the knee, and quite
severely burning one of his hands. Mr..
Fosburg contends that he had no
matches in his pocket, and cannot ac-
count for the explosion. However
that may be, the accident will servo as
a warning to those who habitually
carry these tablets loosely in their
pockets under tho impression that they
were non-cXplosivc. -Plattsburg On

Seeing notice in the papers % few
days ago that Governor Gordon would
raise no cotton this year on his farm
the thought occurred 10 ire to ask the
following questions;
1. How would it affect the com
merc of the world if the farmers and
planters of the south would hold con
vention and pledge themselves not to
raise any cotton for one year, but i'm
stead TO raise wheat, corn, oats and
other cereals, potatoes, onions, turnips,
hogs, poultry, etc, and whatever
would best suit the soil and climate of
the section interested9
2. Would such movement be
eventually beneficial or injurious to
the cotton states?--Letter to Atlanta

The Brazilian Minister Pleased.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The Brazil ian Minister regards the views of the dominant Republicans as set forth in their manifesto as most reasonable in all respects, and, as they have assumed all of the obligations and debts of the empire and have guaranteed the fullest protection and personal liberty to the citizens of other nations residing in Brazil, as we'll as se- curity to their vested interests, he can not see any excuse for dissatisfaction abroad at the recent change. In his view constitutional convention must be assembled in Brazil at the earliest possible moment. This body will probably readjust the boundaries or representation of the twenty existing provinces. which vary largely in size and density of population.
 The United States Government has ordered Rear Admiral Gillis, who is stationed at Montevideo with the ves- els Richmond and Tallapoosa, to pro- ceed to Brazilian waters. Secretary Tracy has cabled him to sail for Brazil at once. The dispatch contained a warning about yellow fever, but gave no detailed instructions to the Admiral

THE SULTAN SUBMITS.
He Will Sec that Moussa Bey is Put
 Trial.

He Will Sec that Moussa Bey is Put on LONDON, Nov 21.-If the recent visit of Emperor William of Germany to Constantinopfe has been productive of no other result it has certainly been the means of inducing the Sultan to see to 1t that Moussa Boy, the Kurdish rob- Der, murderer and perpetrator of every vile crime known to the region over which he lately terrorized, receives at least portion of the punishment he deserves, for he certainly could not be adequately punished and live.
 It now appears that one of the points insisted upon by the Kaiser, while con- terring with the Sultan, was that Moussa should be placed upon trial as soon as possible, and if found guilty punished without delay. This the Sui tan promised to do, and the first step toward the fulfiment of this promise is the imprisonmento of the Kurdish caitiff, who has until now been permitted to go whither he pleased pending his trial.
 Still, it will not do to. rely too con- hdently on Moussa's con%c ction of the graver crimes with which he is charged, Tor 1t will be remembered that the wit >nesses who went from Albania to Con- stantinople to testify against him, some twenty in number, mysteriously disap- peared en route or almost immediately after their arrival at their destina tion.
