—_- 8 CITIES OF THE DEAD. Greeawood Cemetery. Greenwood Cemetery, originally incorporated in 3888, now comprises four hundred and thirteen acres, beautifully situated on Gowanus Heights, Brooklyn, ‘and easily accessible by private conveyances, horse ears, &c,, from either of the four great ferries, Na- ture has done much for this beautiful city ef the ead, and the hand of art and a refined and tender | taste have supplemented the task of providing in the } immediate vicinity of the metropolis the most exten- wive and elaborate cemetery in the Unitea States. + ‘Thither wends an almost endiess lime of fun- eral pageants, and the great bel) which surmounts ‘the northern entrance, and tolls out a mournfat welcome to the mortals gathered tn beneath its portals, 1s seldom still. From the opeuing of the cemetery up to yesterday noon 140,208 inierments | have been made within its limits, and during te | year 1868 the number reached 7,574, aud averaged | twenty-one a day. } The Sabbath is the day which, tom the occupations of our citizens and the mature and sacred associations «of =the day, attracts the greatest number of visitors to Greenwood, and on such s day as yesterday the visitors are numbered by thousands, The object of | the vast majority of these visits is the per- | formance of the sacred duty and the mournful plea- | sure of revisiting the tombs of departed friends or relatives end passing @ solemn hoar in the seclusion ofthe purial ground in communion with the lost. ‘The us of mere curiosity are im comparison very few, though very many are attracted by the fame of Greenw: and although without anp direct per- sonal interest in the tezants of iis solemn shades, essay vhetour of the cemetery to see the piles of sepulechral architecture therein displayed and medi- ‘ate upon the lesson of life's mutability therein por- trayea. ‘The pproas to the main or northern entrance 18 awell kept lawn of considerable extent, through which # road aud path of ampie width lead to fhe mnecipal gate, Thisis a massive, but grace/ul struc- re of sandstone, built in the modern Gothic style, and elaborately ornamented with entablatures illus trating scenes in the Saviour’s lie, Those on the outward quatre-folls represent the resurrection of the widow's son and the raising ‘of Lazarus, and on their bases are the legends “Weep Not” and “Behold the Dead Liveth” respectively. On the @bverse are groups pictaring Christ’s entombinent and resurrection, subscribed with appropriate texts, Inside and to the left of the main entrance are the superintendent’s residence, stables, tool house and porter's lodge, prosaic enough in thelr uses, but constructed with such careful reference to the se- puichral tone of the grounds as to be Larmonious und unobtrusive. "The carriage roads aad footpaths are laid out in strict accordance with the most accepted rules o1 jandscape culture, and with @ view as Well of afford- tug the readiest access to every portion of the grounds and the utmost economy of space consistent with good taste; but to the stranger they present a labyrinthine mass of paths and walks and roadway, whicn is bewilderiag enough. A reference to the published map, however, affords an easy ciue to all Mus tortuosity and reveals the symmetry of the plan, ‘The first object of special \nterest likely to attract attention 1s the little sheet of water known as Arbor Lake skirted by Landscape avenue, On te easvern shore of this water are the general receiving tombs with thelr open gates apparently inviting future burial caskets to their temporary resting places. A iitue fyrther on the same avenue leads to Valley Water, Where a litte indentation of the Jand has fo med a basin for a silvery pond, provided, as are all the patural ponds of tne locality, with @ ceaseless fountalu, whose gentle plash forms a welvome con- trast to the burning heat of July sana. Then comes the Syivan Water, a larger sheet, Jocated near the new entrance on Fifth avenue, and en a commanding elevation on its bank stands tie massive marble chapel crected by W. 5. Miller, and the more sombre one of S, P. Townsend. This 4s in the western corner of the grounds. Tur tw the soutn Border and Maple avenues jead up past Cedar Mound, surmounted with the incomplete Aspinwall monument, to Tulip Hill, where are ar- ranged the monuments which perpetuate the fame ot ine Volunteer Fire Department of New York. The central one—a massive marble shaft—bears on its base the record that in 1845 the Fire De- partment of New York caused it to be raised ion memory of their comrades who had per- isned while “discharging their duty, and clustered round this towering memento of the daring of the Gre laddies of a former day are many smalier private stones and slabs marking the resting place of other | brave firemen who fell with their faces to their foe, beat tomb and lot at this point bears the well Jove and honor for his departed mother, | From this point Glen avenue winds around to Crescent Lake, the ttiest bit of water in the ‘founds. On Its jtands the exquisite tomd of Milam Niblo, of histronic fame. This is 8 beautaful structure of pure white marble, and its exterior and appointments testify the constant care of loving re- Jatives, Next to this stauds the tomb of anold Knickerbocker, which contains the form of William W. Groesbeck. and @ short distance above the uaint and artistic tomb of C. K. Garrison, in the Driental style of architecture, attracta mach notice. Thousands of other pointe are scarce worth less atiention, but a few others must be referred to with someting of detail. The Canda group of monumen- tel eregance recalls the tragic story of how Charlotte anda, alovely, wealthy and accomplished girl was thrown from her carriage on the evening of her seventeenth birthday and killed while on the thres- hoid of an evening’s pleasure, and how her fortune was expended on this ornate marble structure to perpetuate her sweet memory and her sad and sudden death. ‘The monument and its accessories are well known and their description 1s superfuous. Notlung could be more ebaste or elegant, and seldom indeed {fs 1% that structures of such Ccostiiness are raised over private graves, It tobe regretted that time has some- what begrimed the delicate tracery of its seniptur- mg and that the meaner dust bas been aliowed to Kol tts marble capitais, Near the last mentioned monument, at the junce tion of Highland and Battle avenues, stands & work of art no less ornate, though of an utterly distinct type, and ® lesson no less pure and cherished.

Away from the buzz and joyfulness of holiday recreation, apart from all worldly care and selfish pleasures, the beautiful Cemetery of the Evergreens was yesterday a solace to some, @ source of serious meditation to others, yet a welcome and refreshing shade to all, The rich and luxuriant foliage formed @ magnificent umbrage to those who went thither to pass the day, a day—hotter and more oppressive than any that has preceded it. Some went to see the cemetery, some, perhaps, to look for vacant lots, others to behold the headstone of @ once familiar friend or dear relation, and many to pluck the weeds from a grassy tomb and plant fresh flowers upon the grave. From a very early hour in the day a stream of visitors, not in crowds or In boisterous groups, but in twos and threes, some with motherless chil- dren, who now and then broke the stillness that prevailed with silvery and innocent laugh, whicn was quickly hushed, however, as by them rolled the carriages ol a funeral cortgée, containing the remains of some deceased, to their last abode on earth. The cemeiery is a beautiful place, rich in its gorgeous tombstones, picturesquely laid out and handsomely adorned by nature. Here and there visitors might be seen seated in some of the moreshady spots ad- miring the pteture which the surrounamg scene presented. Among the more favored sputs was the ocean view, from waich might readily be seen the white sails of many a sea bound craft fitting over the broad waters like @ gull. Not far apart from that enchanting spectacle the shadowy way and holly dell afforded the most delignttul sheiter from the burning rays of a dazzling sun. Few cemeteries are more tastefully laid out or more handsomely adorned in a fioral point of view, and from all ap- pearances it is kept in beautiful order. Among the trees that here and there helped to constitute the many refreshing arbors was the English weeping elm, its long and wide extending branches falling gracefully tow: the eartn, resolntely defying the beams of the sun. There was likewise # great variety of others, including the Kilmarnock willow and Japan peach trees, and a splendid collection of Fouton wil- lows. The florist of the cemetery, Mr. A. H. Burge: has evidently procured a rare collection of trees ant fowers that go far to adorn the In the afternoon the visitors ly increased, aug- mented by the arrival of several funerals, At some points interesting though moving spectacles were resented. Here might be seen the faithful wife, spouse, un- wistfully tracing observed, ani In fine, Everg: @ Sunday visit, Cypress Hills Cemetery. Thongh scarcely at such @ convenient distance from the city as some of the Metropolitan cemete- ries this beautifal burial ground was visited by large numbers yesterday, and, whether trom mo- tives of curioaity or otherwise, none who went there could have regretted their visit. Multifarious vanety of handsome headstones, the quiet and leafy walks which abound in all directions, and the peace and solatude which prevail alike render the cemetery a Picturesque, welcome and quiet retreat upon the Sabvatn day. Truly Cypress Hill Cemetery 1s richly and nobly adorned in almost every quarter that pre- sents itseif, and the surroun views are as pleas- ing a# they are impressive. It 18 @ positive reiel to ‘wander througl such a place, where the world, its vices and tutrigues, its follies and excitements, its joys and severities, are completely cast aside. ‘To the contemplative mind how utterly insignificant do the fame and glories, the wealth and grandeur, the pride and powp of earth appear when strolling through a cemetery ! To think that many wio now lie siumbering in their Fraves did once enjoy atl that the world could give, that tuey, too, once Jaugbed, joked aud were merry, at once dissipates the wild Ideas that often Mi the minds of the am- bitious when in the cool shad of a silent arbor one views the countless monuments as they stand up in void relief, The tombstones of Cl ie Hill Ceme- tery are very handsome, many of them being of the 1jost elaborate construction and of beautiful design. Visitors yesterday—and their number increased as the day advanced—spent much time inspecting the emblems and devices of the more magnificent head- stones, while others bestowed not less respectful giances On the antiquated and humble memorials to the dead.

A few days ago @ gang of gypsies made their ap- pearance on the sacred soli of New Jersey, and, afier wandering about for a while in the wilderness of swamps and morasses with which that foreigu conn- try abounds, came to a standstill in a thick grove ou the Western New York road, and pitched their tents as coolly as though they had obtained a charter from the Legislature to run the gypsy machine just where they pleased. Gypsies have at all times been considered ontside the pale of etvliization—that is, according to missionary teaching—and the vagabonds who took possession of the grove in New Jersey were not at ail au exception to che semi-barbarous class of which they claim to be @ ragged part and parcel.

In some Places the scene was wild and grand, precipitous rocks rising up pile on pile, rugged, barren and gray; deep gorges, down the sides of which ran countless cataracts; but there were also some heights which unduiated upward, clothed with the oak, the larch, the camphor, the cottonwood, the cedar and other species of trees; and beautiful valleys, watered by many murmuring streams, clustered with hamlets, embowered in the graceful bamboo and bright with the azaila, the ollander and various species of lilies and camelias. Our transit through this region was interesting from the interest we excited. It was literally the interior of China. Some male bipeds of the Cau- casian race, such a8 missionaries and speculators in tea, from Canton, had passed through it before, but in our party were included the first ‘‘white” ladies that had ever appeared there. Our fame pro- ceded us; we were met by crowds irom each town, who pressed around from all sides in the most eager curiosity, and in more than one inatance it went so far that the Ohinese local authorities politely re- quested us, through our interpreter, to permit the ladies to step for a few moments from their sedan chairs (our mode of transit), to satisfy the curiosity of the multitude. I must say that in no place were we treated with the least discourtesy; we were unarmed, ina great measure unprotected; but beyond a little pardonable curiosity about, to them, such strange animals, all was courtesy and amenity, We were the recipients of many presents, generally food, and the curlosity which exceeded all others was to see the ladies eat; in fact, I was told after- wards py our interpreter that considerable sums of money were offered for that privilege, We discovered traces of coal in many places, and in some judged from the outward appearance that there must be immense deposits. We also noticed that the women ornamented their heads with lumps of virgin gold, linked together, and on inquiry found that they were made from grains of gold found in the sands of the mountain streams which, combining, form the North river. After ten days of travel and rest we at length left the Switzerland of China and engaged a couple of junks to take us down the North river to Canton. ‘This portion of our tour was rather monotonous, en- livened only by such amusements as we could di- vert ourselves with, such as puzzles, conundrums, &c, However, we had some beaatif ul views, and I was frequently much interested in the cormorant fishing. It is wonderful how well Joun Chinaman has those birds trained. You will see elght or ten standing still on the side of a boat until he gives the word of command, when effthey dive simulta ne- ously, and in a few moments return, some two with & Dig fish between them, others carrying fishes of various sizes, and yet some, apparently crestfallen, with none, ‘This haul is lala squirming at the bot- tom of the boat; the more Incky ones are rewarded with a smal! quantity of fish and all agam resume their sentinel positions, awaiting another order, On onr arrival in Canton we were just in time for one of the annual festivala—that of the feast of lan- terns. Nothing could be more beautiful than the bree appearance. Lanterns of all colors, sizes and lesigns studded the hills to the back of the city, and gileamed like a line of light; hung in the most fantastic designs from all the hol ‘and sparkled from every portion of the native c1 and strewed the water for miles. The exquisite beauty offgthe sight was neutralized, however, by the discordance of the sounds; never was night made more hideous; never did I'bear such @ din; gongs, myriads of them, beat incessantly; firecrackers went off by the wholesale; and all other conceivable nolses, par- ucularly @ babel of tongues, made one wish his sight were sem rarhy Some could his hearing be goue with it, Ye Fou of Julyers, hide your diminished neads. I have heard you at your worst, ‘and you never could approach it. In the daytime during this festival there were vari- ous games. That of racing in the dragon boats was the most exciting. The boats were some of them sixty feet long an@ not more than three wide. In a boat like this a hundred men were seated, each with an oar, and at a given word all started off, each one yelling his utmost. The boats flew like the wind, and, with their dragon heads beautifully carved and their dragon tatls ditto, presented a fine appearance. One boat during the race broke in two and thirty Chinamea were drowned. It no sensation whatever. ‘“Maskee no makee mucher that thing; plenty more likee.’” While passing through the streets of Canton we one day came across a@ Chinese row. Such jabber- ing, Buch gesticulations, such antics; among us it would have come to blows long "¢> but @ China- man will do anything but strike. At length a few Digtatls were pulled, and tne native police coming on the scene quickly made use of these same appen- dages. They gathered the late belligerents together into groups of about six, and then, tying ali the celesilals’ narratives together, followed them in squads to prison, Would not the wearing of such an appendage by our roughs be an excellent idea? We also #isited the prison at execution hour, which is about cere o'clock A. M. every day. There were only ten the day we called. The condemnea were marched into @ courtyard about @ hundred feet square. The sand with which it was deeply atrewn was much discolored and emitted a sickly, fetid odor. ‘The walls around the courtyard were ined with Chinamen, who bandied jokes and seemed highly delighted with the scene. The culprits were placed m a row, about ten feet apart, standing up and unbound. They were then ordered to wind ap their queues and place their nands on their knees. All this they did promptiy and calmly; not the least sign of trepidation or dejection was visi ible, Some even joked with the surrounding crowd. The exe- cutioner, @ brawny, big, lusty fellow, now came along, brandishing sort of big cleaver, and with a dexterity evidently attainea by Jong practice clipped off one head after the other as juickly a8 you would the heads of 60 many thisties, le never falied nor gave a second blow. Tie gory jaivering, the heads bobbed about a (eg 9 as one of our party remarked, seemingly look- ing for their owners, and the day’s execution was over, After astay of a couple of weeks in Oanton we steamed down to Hong Kong, and thence to the great tea emporium—Foochow. The scenery up the river Min to Foochow Is very beautiful, and has been compared to that on the Hudson, but the hills on either side are higher and the river deeper and more rapid. Foochow has a large foreign settle- ment, and exports immense qnanitties of tea, over seventy millions of pounds this year. Three steam- ers ply between here and Hovg Kong, and one to Ningpo, ail under the English flag, We visited the great tea districts, extending along the hillsides for many miles, and examined the various plantations and the various modes of preparation of lea. ‘This plant, oriyinally called by the Chinese tn and subsequently cha, and by the English orginally tay, has been in use by the Chinese partially since almost the Christian era, aud in general use among them for the past eight centuries. 1t 18 of the cx- meiia family; has dark green, thick, olly leaves, ob- long in form, about two inches long’ when fully grown and half an inch wide. The blossoms are single, white, inodorous and possess none of the qualities of the leaves, The plant when growing wild, a4 it bas been found in Assam, sometimes at- tains tne eight of thirty feet; but on the tea plan- tations of China and Japan, where it 1s cultivated and stunted, it is from four to six feet in height, and contains many branches thickly covered with leaves, The seeds are three in num- ber, contained in a nut, and are of sucii an oily, rich pature tiat they goon spoil, These seeda are pian thickly, a8 many rot before they can germinate, when the young plants come up they are set in rows: avout three feet apart. They are plucked 1a their third year, and last irom sixteen to twenty yeara. There are four gathermgs—one in the middie of April, one early in June, one in the middle of July, and one at the eud of August, All teas are of th same species, and diffor only from the nature of the soil in which the plants are set, fron the season when the leaves are gathered, and frow the mode of preparation. Thus the pecco, the fuwery pecco and the orauge flowery pecco . ate the young buds guthered and = slowly aned to baskets = In the two latter being perfumed by bein; laced in bas- kets over the heated flowers of the chloranthus, olea, agiaia, &c., and then immediately boxed up. The word ‘‘pecco” itself means “white hairs,’’ from the gowny appearance the young, undeveloped leaves present. Bonea ts the name of the tile where that particular kind of tea is produced. souchoog means “‘little plant,” and the term has reference to me mode of packing it. Gunpowder, called ip Chinese ‘‘machu,” derives its name from the form in which it is roiled. Hyson, “before the rains,” denotes that the icaves are plucked when tener, and is, therefore, calied “young hyson.” Oolong, ‘plack dragon,” simply signities 4 strong, black tea, and thus through various other appellations, The mode of preparation of the leaves, except the or first gathering, is as follows:—After it are gathered they are examined, the yellow ones picked ont and tne remainder apread ‘on bamboo trays and exposed to tae sup mntil they soften, They are thon re diy gently rolled and Tabbed until red spots appear. This roliing is called “kung fu.cha’’ or ‘‘congo.”’ After the rolling they are placed thinly spread on tron em and put over asiow fire anti the leaves swell and crack, when they are brushed off aud others substituved. They are then rolled on tables of split bamboo and a tranks sank green acrid oi forced out. After this rolling they are placed in basket trays and ex, id tothe air wodry.

Its appearance is beautiful; Its shade most grateful. The Chinaman sits under it and upon it; he dwells in it; he cats it; he saila im it and by it; he is rocked'in it, he 18 buried in tt; he writes upon it and with it; he clothes himself with 1% and spanks the young ones with it. In fact, the “graceful bamboo” 18 a8 useful as it is ornamental SCIENTIFIC NOTES, A novel and tp every respect highly successful series of experiments were made in the Bay of New York, off Fort Hamilton, recently, the appliances tested being a complete set of marine life saving apparatus, invented quite lately by a gentleman of this city. The articles comprised a lifeboat, con- structed upon new principles of buoyancy and bal- lasting, and @ waterproof suit of clothing capable of resisting cold and maintaining @ human being in an erect floating position for any length of time desired, enabling the wearer to eat, drink, smoke, read, &c., while so buoyed, with comparative comfort. ihe main features of the lifeboat consist in its being farnished with air cylinders under the seats, and the method of ballasting, which is a modification of and improvement upon the system of ships’ bal- lasting, by lever and weight. These combined ren- der it impossibie to completely overturn the boat in the water, and should she fill the air cylinders will easily keep her afloat. A party of gentlemen in the recent experiment tried every means of capsizing the vessel, but without avail, and only succeeded in filling her. ‘The life-saving costume is a rubber suit made in one piece, with an opening at the neck to admit of its being put on, and openings at the wrists. A cork jacket is first put on over the ordi- nary clothing and the life-saving suit envelops the whole person aad apparel excepting the shoes. A series of tubular bands around the head and neck give buoyancy also to the up- per part of the body, and the feet are shod with leaden shoes or sandals, weighing five pounds each, to keep the body erect in the water. A propelling instrument or paddle attached by cords to each wrist may be used by the hands, and ts made somewhat on the principle of the feathering blade to a paddle-wheel, the flaps holding when forced in one direction through the water, and penne 80 as to create resistance when pressed in the reverse direction. The suit will buoy the wearer Up 80 as to retain the head and tne shoulders as far down a8 the armpits clear above water. Several gentiemen applied these dresses to their persons and then leaped overboard from the steamer into the Narrows, remaining in the water some hours, Finally, as dusk of evening came on the steamer eft them and from sight, when the swim- mers made thelr position known by crimson lights and rockets taken from a tender with which they are furnished, and were picked up by the lifeboat. Their clothing was quite dry and the bosoms of their sbirts not even rumed. SHIPPING NEWS.
