Hanking, who works at JNicolai Brother's lumber wharf, near Weidler's mill, sent for Coroner GarnoUl, saying that he saw what ho thought was the body of a nun floating m the water opposite the dock. Mr. Garnold im mediately went to the scene and saw iwiijiuinan tecs rrolrudni2?abovBthe water-aliout nfteetrfeePSwfHroSSraf 7. -?;t j-t fit mjp i't.'; xxb uitenipieu 10 ge.i 10 me ooay-;oy wading, but found the water too deep. He then reached the spot in a. small boat, and tugging and straining for some time, dually raised the body from the mud, wheie it had been anchored with a stone weighing 98 pounds. The feet were bound together with wiie, and the stone was fastened to the shirt, which had Wen gathered up in a bunch at the neck, with a piece of bailing rope four feet long. The only clothing upon the body was an under and an over-shirt, collar, metal collar-button and a black string-tie. The remains showed hint to be a man about 50 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, and to have weighed probably 175 pounds. His chest was broad and massive; his arms well developed; face round and full; high forehead; dark hair; chin whiskers and mous tache, tinged with gray. His fore head directly above the left eye wears nn old scar of semi circular form, tak ing almost the same curve as the brow. There is also a scar, about half an inch long, between his eyebrows pointing toward the left eye. The face is so disfigured by decomposition tbat it can not be minutely described. There can bo rio doubt that the ii.nn was thrown in the river. With his feet tied and the weight of nearly a hundred pounds about his neck, it was a physical inipos'biiity for him to liayjf jumped that far from shore, arid it-wasajso f;;ij)oviblQfor hini.to have walked into deep water. The only reasonable theory is that ho was taken in a small boat and thrown overboard This was evidently done about two weeks ngo, when the rier was from three to four feet higher than now. Clear and cool weather lowered the river and exposed the body, which, had customary rains continued, would have been submerged until after next suiiini"r's rise. The crime is shrouded in deep mystery, and until the dead man's identity is established can fur nish only grounds for speculation, not for detection. Tlie remains nre at the establishment of Coroner Garnold, who will becin an inquest to day. He asks tho pres puce of nny person who from the above description can give information con cerning the drowned man. Tlic IJll mill tlic 3Ian. As the boy begins, so the man will end. The lad who speaks with nffecta' tion and minces foreisn tongues that he does not understand at scheol will be a weak chromo in character all his life; the boy who cheats his teacher into thinking him devout at chnpel will be the man who will make religion a trade and bring Christianity into contempt; and the boy who wins tlie highest avei agH by stealing his examination papers will figure bome day as a tricky politi cian. The lad who whether rich org poor, dull or clever, looks you straight -in the eyond keep his answer inside of the truth already counts friends who lat all his life and holds a capital which will bring him in a surer interest than money. Then get to the bottom of things. You see how it is already as to that. It was the student who was grounded in the grammar that took the Latin prize; it wa that slow, steady drudge who practiced firing every day last winter that bagged the most game in tho mountains; it is the clerk who studies the specialty of the house in off hours who is to be promoted. Your brilli ant, happv go lucky, liir-nr-miss fellow usually turns out the dead weight of the fan.ilv by forty five. Don't take anvthms for granted; get to the bot tom of things.

The United- States' Signal iServiee Station nt Pike's" Peak is the .highwt signal station in the' world; it isalso highest inhabited portion of thef globe. It was opened in the month of Sep tember, 1873, and promises to staild at the head of all astronomical 'and meteorological stations in th'e-'world. This point is wonderfully favored 'By nature for the study .of astrbnomy'arid meteorology. The ntnty o'tho'-at-mosphere brings out with remark'ablo brilliancy and clearness the" stars unti AritthftiirclvelylllesTLtfcikt'i art-mnioci mwaya ciohuibss, anucmuuy days- aro'lne exception.' Nine-tentbs of the stoi ms are below the peak, but the electrical phenomenal the'suraruit are very remarkable. The summit of Pike's Peak contains sixty acres. It is fourteen thousand three hundred and thirty-six 'feet above the level cf the sea. On tho highest point of the summit stands tho signal station, a rough stone building, twenty four by thirty, ono story in height. It is divided into four rooms; officers' room, kitchen, storeroom and wood-room. And on this bleak spat nearly twenty miles from tho habita tion cf man, these men live the larger part of tho year. " Like the dwellers of tho Arctic regions, these sojourners on Pike's Peak have but two seasons, summer and winter; two months of summer, August and September, and ten lonjj, cold nionts of winter. The summer season passes quickly. Tho 'atmos phere is congenial and tho many visi tors enhance its social life with joy, wonderment, and mirth. During the summer of 1878 upward of nine hun dred people, in parties of fiv to thirty, visited the Peak, among them many ladies. To behold a sunrise from the Peak i an event of a lifetime, and for this pupose visitors ofter remain over night at the station. The duties of the officers are vari- ous. Scven observations are taken daily; all storms are closely -watched, 'aud'eaelTspoeial and distinctive chsrr.r- teristic duly recorded. Sunrise anil sunset demand special attention. Ererv peculiarity of the heavenly regions is viewed, and n record made of tho same, and montly reports of these records are sents to headquarters at "Washing ton. The-summer months are occupied in preparing for the long siege of winter. During the months of August and September upward of three thousand pounds of usual family stores, and about twenty-five cords of firewood, arc snugly stored away. These are all carried to tlie Peak on tho back of tha poor, despised Burro, whose head has the appearance of being encased in cloth, with ears half the length of kis legs, and his pace like that of a snail. The reat Wall of China. The Great Wall of China was meas ured 'ii many places by Mr. Unthank, an American engineer, once engaged on a survey for a Chinese railway. His measurements gavo the height at eighteen feet, and a width on top of fifteen feet. Every few hundred jards there is a tower, thenty-five feet high. The foundation of the wall is of solid granite. Mr. Unthank brought with hiin a brick from tho wall, which is supposed to have been made two hund red years before tho time of Christ. In building 'this immense stone fence to keep out the Tartan, "the 'b'uildeVs never attempted to avoid "mountains or chasms to save expfcnse.' For" ono thousand three hundred miles the 'wall goes oyer plain and mountain, and every foot of the foundation is in solid granite, and the rest of the stnicturo solid masonry. In some places, the wall is built smooth up against tha the bank, or canyons, or precipicts, where there is a sheer descent of ono thousand feet. Small streams are arched over, but in tho larger streams the wall ruus to the water's edge, with a towpr built on each side. On the top of the wall there are breast-n orks, or fences, facing in and out, so the defending forces can pas3 from ono tower to another, without being ex posed to nny enemy from either sido. To calculate tho time of building or cost of this wall is beyond human skill. So far as the magnitude of the work is concerned, it .surpasses everything in ancient or modern times of which thera is any trace. The Pyramids of Egypt are notli:c compared to it. a
