Here is au interesting bit of New
York miscellany. There is a big Chin
ese bell in the United States bonded
warehouse at Jefferson aud Front
streets which has aroused much com
ment since it arrived here a few dayi
ago on tho steamer Footing 8uey. It
was brought from Chini for W. H.
Forbes, who was formerly a member
of the China houso of llussell c Co.
and who lives at Newberg.
The bell is neurly as tall as a man
and it weighs about 1000 pounds. Its
greatest diameter is much less than
modern belle of that weight. Wall
Sing, a Chinese philosopher, says that
the bell goes back to the time of Con
faoius, bat other people who kuow
things say it ia about 200 Tears old.
The bell has no tongue, but is beak
