A sketch in the New York Herald of tbe condition of some of the tenement house districts of New York, not only reveals them in a repulsiveness almost too shocking for belief, but also casts the keenest reproach upon tbe authorities who permit the maintenance of such nests of disease, filth and peril, in the centre of a great city, where modem civ ilization has presumably attained its highest development. Tall buildings, more populous with swarming life than a rabbit warreu, are crowded in the inte? rior of the blocks, and are reached only by alleys a few teet wide. What few fire escapes are provided are such only in name, and the calamity teu days ago, in which eleven people were burned to death, is nothing more than an instance of what may happen at any time. The danger of counagration is vastly in? creased by tbe careless habits of the wretched people who inhabit these squalid abodes, while the cheap aud flimsily-built structures always oder food for tbe flumes. But this constant menace of great fires is not the worst feature oi these plague spots. Saturated through and through with filth, and their resi? dents living in a foul and poisouous at? mosphere, they breed tbe germs of pesti lence tbat are carried far and wide abroad. There is scarcely a single sanitary rule but what is conspicuous by not being ob? served. Tbe wonder is that human crea? tures can exist under every provocation to misery and sickness. These tenements spawn upon the world stunted and feeble specimens of life that, reared among the surroundings of squalor, ignorance and vice, grow up to add to the numbers of the pauperized and criminal classes. From every standpoint such a festering and putrid ulcer upon tbe body of the community can but be looked on with horror and shame.- And yet, as the Herald shows, there is no lack of legisla? tion meant to be remedial. The statute books embrace laws to limit the number of inhabitants of a certain space, to establish sanitary inspection, aud to com? pel owners of the property to provide good fire-escapes, but official negligence is at the bottom of their non-enforce? ment. It may be possible that a news? paper exposition of the evil in all its great proportions will prod the authori? ties up to a discharge of their duties. ? The Alexandria obelisk was placed over a pedestal in Central Park, New York, Saturday, between 5,000 and 10,000 people witnessing the operatiou. Among those present were Secretary of the Navy Golf, Secretary Evarts, mem? bers of the Park commission, Collector Merritt, and representatives of the Ma? sonic fraternity. A guard of sailors and marines from the navy yard, headed by the Marine Band, formed a cordon around the monolith. A few minutes after noon Lieut. Commander Gorringe gave the signal, and the pillar was quickly raised from a horizontal to a perpendicular po? sition amid the enthusiasm of the spec? tators. There were no formal ceremo? nies. The monolith is to be lowered eight inches before it fairiy rests on the pedestal. WThen at an angle of 45 de? grees work was suspended for a minute, and an enterprising photographer suc? ceeded in taking a picture of the stone in that position. The height of the obelisk from base to tip is 69 feet and 2 inches. Its base is 7 feet and 8jf inches square through its axis; its top is 5 feet three inches; its weight is 219| tons. The height of the pedestal is G feet and 11 inches, at the base it is 9 feet 3 inches square, and at the top 9 feet and 1 inch square. Its weight is 49 tons. The height of the foundation w 4 feet 10 inches. It is 17 feet 8 inches square at the bottom and 12 fePt 3? inches at the top. Its weight is 873 tous. ? A Nevada newspaper thus describes the swearing in of Miss Kittrell, a new clerk of tbe Nevada Legislature: "Mhu Kittrell is a pale, petite young lady, with a very serious, sr-lf-possessed manner. Judge Hawley adjured Miss Kittrell to support the Constitution and the laws, not to bear arms against her country, and to pay no attention to tho laws of the Legislatures of other States when they happened to conflict with those of the battie-born State. He assured her from the tome in his hand, that she was not elligible as a servant of the State if she had, since the adoption of the Con? stitution of Nevada, fought a duel, acted as a second at a duel or carried a chal? lenge to fight a duel. The young lady was able to set Judge Hawley's mind at rest on these points, for he seemed to take her little nod at the end of his par alvzing sentences as entirely satisfac Tho Tallebt Man in tlic World. Chang, a Chinese giant, arrived in New York on an ocean steamer recently, and was immediately pounced upon by the newspaper men. A reporter called at .the hotel where the giant lodged, and saw, sitting on an improvised seat of two chairs with heavy boards laid across, a presence which seemed to fill the whole room. Chang is, unquestionably, the largest man in the world. He is gigantic. As he sat there smiling and nodding, his thoroughly Chinese face looked fully as broad as an ordinary man's shoulders, and as long, if not longer than a flour barrel. His cheek bones bulge out, and are as large as a full-sized orauge. He is thirty-three years old, is the son of a wealthy silk and tea merchant in Pekin, where he was born, is well educated, speaks, reads and writes English, Ger? man, French, Italian and Spanish, and is thoroughly courteous and gentlemanly. With Chang is his "secretary," a bust? ling, busy, earnest little Frenchman, named Neaud, who looks upon the giant with admiration and delight. "What is your exact height, Chang?" the reporter asked. "I have never been measured, Mon ! sieur. With our people it i3 a supersti? tion which takes-the form of a religious creed, that no man must be measured until dead. I would rather die than to allow myself to be measured. In fact, if I were measured I would die at once, I fear. I am, however, somewhere in the neighborhood of nine feet. I will stand up aud you can stand beside me and judge for yourself." Chang rose, and, rising, it seemed as though be would never stop. The repor? ter stands six feet three inches in height. He, at Chang's suggestion, put on a high silk hat and walked under the giant's outstretched arm, near the shoulder, without coming in two inches of bis sleeve. Then fixing the he'gbt of his head about half way between the giant's waist and neck, the reporter checked off three feet at a guess, and found that the crown of the Chiuaman's head was sure? ly nine feet from the floor. His bands and feet, were comparatively small and very well formed. He has exhibited be fore all the crowned heads of Europe and Australia, and has been the pet of several sovereigns. He wears a solitaire diamond ring, given him by theEinpe ror of Russia, which is valued at ^?1,400. - Attached to bis chain is a gold medal given him by tho Berlin exhibition, which asserts that he is the largest man ?>f recent times. He also has half a dozen immense diamond rings given him by rajahs in India, mayors in Australia, and potentates from all quarters of the globe. While talking to the reporter, >ie suddenly-dived into his vest pocket, which was large enough to hold an ordi nary mau's head, and brought forth a ring with the official seal and monogram of Francis Joseph inscribed to "Chang." Fie also has a watch given him by Queen Victoria, which weighs two pounds and I a half, and has a chain nine feet long, i which, barely reaches around his neck aud down to his vest pocket. I An Astonishing Story from Alaska. A letter from Sitka, Alaska, under date of December 23,1880, written by R. P. Stiurfurth, states that everybody there has been seized with the gold fever. The writer says that about two months previous to the date of his communica? tion a report reached Sitka to the effect that gold had beeh discovered in Tahon, an Indian possession about 150 miles northeast of Sitka. The people were at first incredulous, because the old mines in the locality named had often been examined and nothing rich enough to pay the necessarily enormous cost of working had been found. But the flat rering rumors continued to come, and finally a party of small capitalists left ?Sijtjta for Tahon, with the intention ol learning the true prospects there. After being gone twenty-four days they return ed, and, according to the statement of f he writer, declared that nothing like the Tahon mines had ever been seen before, as proof of their assertion producing several pieces of ere aggregating "300 pounds weight, which yieldpd upon assny nearly $200 pure gold. On this showing the people of Sitka are said to have com medced a wholesale migration. Com? mander Glass sent a small part}', headed by an officer, and on their return Stiur Furth asserts that these men confirmed the first report. Captain Vanderbilt of the tug Favorite went to the diggings with eighty miners. Locations were being made with feverish haste and pre? parations were being made by everybody to commence work in earnest next spring. _ ? Ex-Confederate Generals are, many of them, achieving fame and fortune in rosier paths than of old. Major-Generul Marmaduke is a Missouri Railway Com? missioner, and, as a bachelor, lives com? fortably in St. Louis on a salary of $5,000 a year. General J. B. Gordon, as coun? sel for the Louisville and Nashville Road, eets a salary of $14,000. Maior-'General B. F. Cheatbam has a handsome farm in Tennessee. General Toombs practices law, and is very rich. General Basil Duke is a lawyer in Louisville, and has a good income; General Bradley John? ston is also getting rich in the same pro? fession in Baltimore. All the sons of Robert E. Lee, except one. are moderate? ly successful farmers in Virgiuia. The exception, Custis Lee, succeeded bis father as President of Washingtor:-Lee University. General Jubal Early is liv? ing quietly at Lynchburg in comfortable circumstances. General J. C. Pemberton has become a resident of Philadelphia, is an invalid, and has written a book on Vicksburg. ? It is ascertained now that Senator A1 l!son, of Iowa, can be Secre'ary of the Treasury, if he wants that office, and that Blaine can have the Department of State. His recent visit to Mentor v?as doubtless for the purpose of talking ovrr the matter with his old friend, Garlield, with whom ho has always been on very intimate terms. Allison is fifty-two years old, and was once considered the handsomest man in Congress. During his long service in both Houses. Allison has devoted him? self especially to fiscal matters, aud he is considered one of the best informed and most practical financial legislators we have bad. ? The raid on Shoddy Butter in the Ohio Legislature has taken an amusing feature. By a bill just introduced it is proposed to make any landlord or board? ing-house keeper liable to a fine of $10 and ten days' imprisonment who does not inform his guests of the composition of the butter he sets before them. This is rather hard on the hotel and boarding house keepers, and the question is, ho't are they to know what butter is made of? ?

All the improvements in machinery that the inventive penius of the nineteenth cen? tury has produced have been adapted by the manufacturer of "0. N. T." At all the great International Fairs of the world, "O. N. T." has been awarded the highest honors. The " 0. N. T." factories at Newark, N.
