For a short distance either side of the Tic-wan pass tbawaH is constructed of (sick, with rubble in the eenter; but farther away it is composed almost -wholly of atone; in fact, whatever material were closest at hand would )!- pear to liaTa been made use of. Tbus at the spots wo visited, granite abounded in the greatest profit non, so in the construction of the wall was it mada titer principal ingredient, and for. roflelfffe-wairconefets bflSshapei Jess masses of granite, smoothed only on the outside. We observed lnt on.; tower built entirely of stone, the:' being. with this exception, composed of brick with foundations of hewn stoni. The height of the wall from the top of the parapet is a boat seventeen feet ten inches at most pacts, tttoagh occ.nioaally where the parapet is biphest, it measures aigbteea, feet six inches; its broad th is thirteen feefc, and tho height of tha parapet fiVe feet fourinebas.. The towerj are thirtr-one feet thre inciics high and twanty-eight feet one inch broad. She parapet is both .crenelated and loophofed, and the lowers are pierced for the diacliarie, of some projectile. From, any elevated ite the sceneiT well repays one for cue trouble of ascent; clear streum? are seen me andering down the passes,, while on every aide, and looming far in the distance are a success kn of brown hilltops with small patches only under cnltivfction. Droves of packTasse3 are seen going' and retnrninff, bringing a small, kind of brushwood, which the boarders born instead of tho millet-stalk in use on the plains, whild in wild abundance are scattered innumerable ash, poplar, and fir trees. Offshoots branch oaf from the wall ia occasional places. For their construction it i difficult in evertease to assign a reason. The little town Io-wsb En is completely encircled by one, and on the opposite a double wal l wind upward ' with the portions in near parallel Udei ' A visit the fnllowtnf day to the past. ofCha-pow, dtstmt a boat twantT-cni lee from that of IiO-wnn, c mfirmwl onr surmise that in tho erection of the wall the contractors hi each fheri werei . availed themselves to any extent of the bnildintr materials closest at hand. Vfn noticed several prms, most of which were partially imbedded in the earth of rubble forininp the center of th ) wall; one bore an inscription recordm r that it was east in the reijrn of Wa i Ijee, the last Emperor of the Minjj-ds-nasty. It must, therefore, hive been upward of 260 years old, and was evidently fashioned after a Karopeaa model. A great many of the towers were in a decayed state, and the icterior of some- of them, bavin; liesn cleared of debris, were convene I into gardens and granaries. Tke lipri-rht Baa. To delineate the character of an upright man, a man of integrity is a plain one. and easily understood. Hs is one who makes it his eonstart rule to follow the road of .duty, as his conscience points oat to him. He is not guided by affections, which nay sometimes giro the color of virtno to loose and unstable character. The upright man is gntded by a fixed principle of mind, wh'eli h-t rmines him to esteem not ring but what is honorable, and to abhor whatever is base an t unworthy in moral conduct Hence yon find hint ever the same, at alt ty mjs the trusty friend, the arectionate relation, the con.cieutiocs man of business, and the public-spirited citizen. . Ho assumes no borrowed appearance He seeks no mask to cover him, for he acts no studied part; but he is in truth what he appears to be, fall of truth, candor, and humanity. In all pursuits, whether business or pot Hi oil, he know$ no part bat tho fair and direct one, ami would much rather fail of sucecess titan attain it by reproachful means. Ho never shows yon a smiling conntenaacs while be meditates evil again it yon in his heart He never praises yon among your friends and then joins in traducing you among yonr enemi 'S. ' Yon will never find one part of bis character at variance with another. In bis manners he is simple and na affect ;d; in ail his pc:.fsiur)ga opon and consistent. Uach it the man oi integrity such is Jfohfl Hornby.

THE OLD WQRLO. A cable dispatch 'from Berlin reports that "tow-lying districts along the. banks of tha rivers Elbo and Yiatu'a ore inundated The village of Dornits is isolated in tha midst of a great lake. A number of soldiers from the nearest garrison, affer ardnous efforts, succeeded in reaching tboro wilh a supply of food for the inhabitants, bnt flfteon or them were drowned in the attempt Further attempts to relieve numerous Tillage in a similar position are being mode. The flood , it is estimated, cover two hundred square miles of territory, and alarming ramora of the extent of damage done are circulated.

A whole district called Bodrog, in Northern Hungary. Isolsoiaundatad, scores of villages converted into heaps of rnlns, and thousands of people rendered homeless and destitute.

St Louis tnd Louisville packer are up in arms asaint ihoinjttrious statements made before tho Hoitso Committeo on Agriculture by W. Q. Bartle, regarding the rse of diseased hogs in fool products.

From tho tostimony thus far given before tho Homo Committee on Agriculture it is very evideat that aJullorutiou of lard by the introduction of such wholesome and palatable materials a beef stearins and cotton-seel oil is a dooidol luxury and beceflt as compared with some of the peculiarities attending the production, of what is known as 'straight lai d.

During a heavy thum.or-alorni, on Wednesday afternoon, lightning struck the Senate wing of the Capitol, jut npparently did no other damage than to frighten the occupant and destroy telegraphic nnd telephonic communication bet w son the building and outside world. The flash was vivid iu the t-humber itself, and startled every one, but tbo source was known at once ami til proo-ediiigs continued without more tnan mon Biliary interruption. Iu the lobby of the prons gallery it appeared as if a ball of iiie dropped from each chandelier to the floor. In tho sub-basement an engineer wait orostrated. A cub horse outside was knocked down. Tbo report was not louder thau a pistol shot, but seems to havo been hoard iu ull quarters of the wiug. In the Supremo Court every justice, every lawyer at the bar, and every clerk at his desk spraug to his feet, but sat down again very quiekly and tried to look as it nothing had happened. Theorists havo it that tho charge struck the plume of tho go:ides on the dome, spread ovur the metal roof iu all directions, and sought to go to tho prouml by the thousand chandeliers, steam pipes, aud electric wires in tha sliuoture. (Similar phenomena were noticeable in tho liouso wing of tho Capitol. "Halls of blue tire" played shout the corridors, and enoti ecrupant of the House or the committee rooms seemed to think he was the espeoial object of attack. Tho crash led some members of the House to the belief that the roof was tumbling in. Electric lights ia some parts of the wing were extinguished. SINGULAR ACCIDENTS.

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT. Spurious S3 Silver Certilioates In Circulation In (ha West. (Chicago peeia!.r Daneerous $5 Bilver certificates are in circulation in Chicago. Many merchants have found them in their tills, and a number of them have been passed at the bonks. They ere well executed and ' calculated to deceive tho unwaty, but a littlo caro will enable one lo distinguish them from the genuine. The lathe scroll work in the counterfeit is far from good, while the quality of ink appears to be better lion that used by the Government: The very best means of detecting the new coumerfeit is by the printed imitation ot the uilk thread running entirely across the back of the bill. In some of the original bills there are two of these silk threads, while others have but one. On the bock of the counterfeit is printed one straight line across the bill. With a pin or knife this deception can be discovered instantly. A Man Arrested in Indiums for Passing Counterfeit five Doilar Silver Certificates. Logausport (Ind.) special, .

Ti e President said he thought t'te treaty would at least lie tried for a "while.

Ha further told the President that it would reipiir? an armed man at every forty rods of the boundary line between the United Mates find British Columbia to prevent Chinamen from coming over the line. To a reporter Mr. Kearney said: "I'm going back to 'Frisco to-morrow lo report my uon-stferess to my people. I have been tuisucres-ful before coinmitloes ot both houses, end at the Wbtto House, too."
