; An instrument, called the auto
graphometer, - which records auto
matically the topography -and dif
fereiiee of ! level of all places over
which it passes, is a new - French in
vention, the utility of which cannot
certainly be questioned if it realizes
the results claimed for it. It is car
ried about on a light ' vehicle, and
those who wish to use it have noth
ing to do -but" drag it, or have it
dragged, over the ground of which
they desire to obtain a plan. .
The assessment roll of comities of
California this year shows an in
crease of $175,000,000 for the year,
the greatest advance being made by
Fresno county, which has increased
by $21,500,000. San Fraucisco comes
next with $10,000,000. Fresuo's in
crease is due almost wholly to raisin
making. Thousands of acres have
been put into choice raisin grapes,
and a great'increase in the product
is the result.
Southlfondon is to havo a new
underground railroad. It is being
built sixty feet under ground. Pas
sengers are to reach it by hydraulic
elevators to carry fifty persons at
once. The tunnel is being driven
by the use of steel shield slightly
larger than the iron rings of which
the tunnel is to be constructed.
The steel shield has a knife edge,
and is driven forward at the rate
of fifteen feet a day by hydraulic

The Rev. Dr. J. B. Simmons will
probably not hear the last of these
words for some time. They were
spoken in an address before the
Baptist Publication Society: VBeau
tiful as woman yrs when Cfod cre
ated her, we cannot deny that, inl
morals and religion, she was a de
plorable failure. From the day she
turned her back upon God aud God's
word, (both of which things she did
without any influence from Adam,)
she became a heathen. Heathenism
originated in her heart."
.
Mr. Charles Sellers, of Memphis,
will not circulate any more reports
about yeIow fever cases in that city.
The ptier day he indulged in some
wild yellow fever talk, and was
hauled up before the Police Q'ourt.
The Judge said to him: "I will fine
you fifty dollars, and as you are not
a man of means, I will hold up forty
dollars of it during your good be
havior. The reputation of oir city
for health is a.s dedicate as the repu
tation of a woman, and must be
protected- Now go and circulate
your ; yellow fever stories." - The
prisoner shook his heaij. "I won't
do it any more," he said. He will
save money by keeping his promise.
The Republicans are at their old
tricks again, but it will do them no
good. They are now sending lots of
boodle to the "Lone Star State"" in
an effort to prevent Mr, Mills' return
to Congress. The following dis
patch from Washington City tells
the tale:
Mr. Mills has information that
large sums of money are. being sent
into his district by ' the protection
ists" assist in the light against his
return to Congress. He is kept
fully advised of the situation at
home, and his enemies, as tney
know, will make few moves with
which he does not promptly become
fully aware. The same game which
was employed in Illinois two years
ago against jur. Morrison, ami in
Keutucky against Mr. Uarlisie, is to
be tried in Texas this year against
Mr Mills. It is no longer a new
game, however, and being r.horqqgh-
ly understood, will, Mr. miiis pe
heves, be beaten by the alert and
incorruptible Democracy of his
State. In his last run for Congress
Mr. Mills received over 0,000 ma
jority. -'
This world is composed of Jqueer
people, some of whom are leaving

The moonlight excursion on the

to be an enjoyable affair. It is, we
believe, the only amusement on the

Having a Good Time.
Capt. Charles Suippen aud his
companions are having a good time
on the beach, at Wrightsville Sou.nd
They are catching fih by the whole
sale, and the only drawback to
their pleasures was in their cook
leaving them to stir their own mush

James Hawkins, Joe Hawkins,
John Hawkins, W, H. Nash, Frank
Gause and Ed. Crawford, all color

prisoner from and assaulting Mr. S.
H. Terry, Superintendent of the
County Poor House and House of
Correction, were tried before Jus
tice W. W. Harriss in the CtyyC.cmrt
room this morning and W. H. Nash

Court in the sum of $100. All the
others were discharged.
named Eliza Jones, about twenty
ysareof age, charged with, stealing
from her employer, Mrs, Hintdn, and
on searching the houser.where the
girl lived, on Swann, between Fifth
and Sixth streets, last night, found
some of the stolen . articles towels
handkerchiefs, pillow-slips, a piece
of dress goods, and a lot of under
wear which were taken to police
headquarters. Before the' Mayor
this morning her case was continued
until to-morrow.
Mary Eliza Corbett, eoIored,iu the
employ of Mr. B. H. Scott, living on
the corner of Front and Castle
streets, was also arrested last night
charged with stealing a bucket of
lard. She was bound, over at., the
city court this morning, in the sum
of $100, justifiodr o the next term
of the Criminal Court.
Some time during last
early this morning some rascal vis
ited the kitchen of Mr. John M.
Williams, who lives at No. 310 Mc
Rae street, and took all the provis
ions he could- find. Very recently
the kitchen of Capt. H. B. Willis,
who lives next door, was robbed of
all the provisions it contained and
since then Mrs. Williams has been
careful to keep her groceries in the
house, but yesterday. she left nearly
a' -.whole ham, a piece of side meat
land a package of meal in the kitch-
env all of which . the thief took and
along -with them one of the reins of
the baggy harness, which was hang,
ing on the back piazza. We can't
imagine what he wanted with the
buggy ;eift. but hope that he in'
teiuU tp hang himself with H after
he has eaten, aji of his stolen supply.
This inorniftg about 3 o'clock some
unknown thief entered the residence
of Mr. H. Merritt, who resides on
Market, between Ninth and Tenth
streets and took $10 from Mr. Her
ritt's pants pocket whjoh was lying
on a chair aqd. then went into the
kitcUeu and took everything that he
eouldget his hands on in the eatable
line. Mr. Merritt had just got in
a supply yesterday and thinks that
the thief seen him while purchasing
tliem, Mr. Merritt thinks he knows
who the thief is and will have the
matter investigated to-day.
There Seems to be a gang of thieves
operating in the Eastern portion of
the city and we would suggest that
four or five members of the police
force be stationed in that section
aud that they wear citizen's clothes.
As it is the thieves know the police
men and watch them, and when
they are in soiue distant part of
their beat, for it extends from East
of Fourth street to the woods and
South of the W. & W. R. R. and
North of Market street, they enter
any premises they desire, and unless
the occupants are aroused there is
nobody to interfere with them and
they-; help themselves to whatever
tliey can flnd, frpm'a horse to a stale
biscuit. On the other hand the po
lice do not kno w them and have not
time to "watch theij actions even if
th.ev should suspect anything wrong,
for the territory they have to trav
erse is too great to alio ft them time.
