THE TABLES TURNED UPON A DE-
TEOTIVE.
From the Pail Mall Gazette, Oct

From the Pail Mall Gazette, October 81.
The romance with which novelists
have invested the profession of a detec-
tive has to great extent been neutraliz-
ed by the hardly suppressed smiles of
the public at the frequent failures of
these functionaries to get further on the
path of inquiry than ''a clue" Occa-
sionally however it must be admitted,
that there efforts are crowned with the
most brilliant success, and that they
achieve results little short of miraculous.
An instance of marvellous astuteness on
the part of a detective is reported from
Plymouth. It seems that a police officer
from Liverpool was dispatched to ia
maica to bring home defaulting cashier
who absconded to that island some
months ago. On Friday the detective
landed in Plymouth with his prisoner.
whom he had safely brought home, the
only drawback to the success of his
mission being that the prisoner is at
large and that the detective is now him
sell LII cuSCody. Inc econtfetempS happen-
ed in this wise : On arrival at Plymouth
the detective and his charge proceeded to
a hotel, where the latter, taking advan-
tage, it is stated, of his custodian having
fallen asleep in the smoking room of
the establishment, stepped out" and
has not seen fit to return. The Liver
pool authorities, being much annoyed at
the disappearance of the defaulting
cashier, have arrested the detective.
They have, therefore, something to show
as the result of their exertions, and may
with justice boast that this is more than
can be sad in many cases where an Off
Ger has been dispatched in search of a
fugitive

MORTALITY AND DENSITY OF PoPULA-
T1oN.-The British Registrar general
has published his annual report of
births, deaths and causes CT deaths, in
London and twenty other large cities
for the past pear. OF these London ap-
pears to be the most healthy, the death
rate being only % per thousand, and
excess of births over deaths A, 799. Ac-
cording to the showing of this report
the death-rate advances in almost every
case as the density of population in
creases. Thus in London there are 40
persons to each acre of space; in Edin-
burgh, At; in Manchester, 50; in Liver
pool, 90; in Glasgow, 100. The respec-
tive rates of mortality in these places
are given as follows in this report:
London, %; Edinburgh, 81; Manches-
ter, so; Liverpool, 80; Glasgow, 81.

AUTUMN.

'Tis the golden CLEAN of an autumn day,
With the soft rain raining as if In play;
And tender touch upon evening,
As if autumn remembered the days of spring,
In the listening woods there is not breath
To shake their gold to the Sward beneath
And a glow as of sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun was hid in the shadowed skies.
The cocks clear crow from the barnyard comes
Rhe muff1ed bell from the belfry booms,
And faint and diIn and from far away,
Comes the voices of children in happy play.
Ger the mountains the white rain draws its veil
And the black rocks, cawing across them sail,
While nearer the swooping swallows skim
Ger the Steel-gray river 8 fretted brim.
No sorrow upon the landscape weighs
No grief for the vanished summer days
But sense of peaceful and calm repoSe
Like that which age in its autumn knows.
The spring-time longings are past and gone;
The passions of summer no longer are known,
The harvest is gathered, and autumn stands
Serenely thoughtful with folded hands.
A glory ideal the real ne'er knew;
FOR meIuOry eifts from tho past ito pain,
And suffers its beauty alone TO remain
With half smile and half sigh
1t ponders past that has hurried by;
Sees it and feels it, and loves 1t all,
Content it has vanished beyond recall.
o glorious autumn, thus serene,
Thus living and loving all that has been
Thus calm and contented let me be
When the autumn of age shall come to me.

A CITY REBUnT.-The Indianapolis
Journal of Oct. % says: Zone year
ago our neighboring city of Greencastle
was visited by fire as destructive, pro-
portionately, as that which devastated
Chicago in 1871. To all seeming the
beautiful town was irreparably injured.
But with marvellous enterprise and pluck
its people set to work to rebuild their
waste places, and to-day the marks OF
the fire are almost obliterated, and the
new Greencastle is immeasurably super
ior to the old. In view of their achieve
ment the citizens held a celebration
yesterday. Greencastle has Just reason
for celebrating, and the people of the
entire State will heartily unite with
them in the compliments of the occasion.

A BOLD RESOLVE IN A DANGER
GUS SITUATION

A remarkable instance of presence of
mind OH the part of the Captain of a
nlan- -of-war is related by the ST. Peters,
burg papers. About the end of last
month the Russian war frigate Olaf,
which had accompanied the yacht of the
Czarewith to Copenhagen, was lying at
anchor among hundreds of other ships
IN the harbor when fire was discover
ed in n coal cellar below, which was on
ly few feet from the powder magazine.
There was no time to put out the fire
before it could reach the magazine, and
an explosion of the large stores of cart
ridges and gunpowder contained in it
would probably have destroyed not only
the Olaf and the surrounding ships, but
part of Copenhagen itself. Capt. Reh-
binder, the commander of the Olaf, saw
at once that the only thing to be done
to prevent catastrophe was to sink the
ship. After sending away the crew,
with the ships papers, cash boxes and
most valuable instruments in boats, he
ordered the carpenters and engineers 20
make a..leak in the vessel, and half hour
afterward she sank in not very deep
water. Next day she was raised again,
and after some provisional repairs was
taken to Cronstadt, where she is now
lying in dock pending her complete re-
storation for service. The damage done
is stated to be comparatively triding,
and the court martial held ON the officers
of the vessel unanimd N1aessed the
highest praise of th1 ct of the
Captain and his subordinates. The
Emperor has appointed him his aide-de-
camp, which is one of the highest honors
conferred on Russian naval officers, and
the officers and men under the Emper-
or's prl'y purse.-PaU Mall Gazette.

after reciting the several Acts of Con-
gress donating lands to aid in the con-
struction of the overland railroad and

And whereas the said party of the first
part desires to raise money for the pur-
pose of completing the construction and
equipment of said railroad and telegraph

much thereof as is, or shall be included
in the rights of way of the railroad and
telegraph lines of said company, rs de-
fined and granted by the Acts of Con-
gress aforesaid, or is being or shall be
used in the construction or operation
thereof, or for the track, yards, depot
grounds, buildings or execution thereof,
to the said parties of the second part, in
trust for the holders of said bonds.
The parties of the second part are
Charles Crocker and Silas w. Sanderson,
who are constituted trustees on behalf
of the bondholders.
The indenture further provides that
all lands mortgaged shall remain under
the sole management of the railroad
company, who shall make such contracts
for their sale as shall be agreed upon by
the two parties to the deeds, but no title
shall be given to purchasers of such
lands until the whole of the purchase
money or an equal amount of the bonds
OF overdue coupons shall be paid to the
trustees, which latter are declared re-
ceivable in payment of lands.
The instrument is signed by Deland
Stanford, president, and E. III. Miller,
secretary, Crocker and Sanderson there
in declare their acceptance of the trust.
It is indorsed as having been recorded
in the counties of Sacramento, ElDorado,

A CHEAP NECKLACE.-Lucy Hooper
writes to the Philadelphia Telegraph
from Paris aa follows: A very curious
circumstance recently occurred here re-
lative to necklace, OF rather a string of
beads. One of the vacant shops on the
Rule de Rivoh was occupied temporarily
by one of those Arab venders of pipes,
perfumes, imitation iewelry, shawls, etc.,
wherewith the visitors to Long Branch
and Newport at home have become
familiar. A gentleman residing in the
upper part Of the city stopped at this
stall the other day and purchased
string of imitation pearls for which he
paid ninety cents. This necklace he
gave to his daughter for one of her dolls.
A celebrated jeweler happened to call
one evening while the chill was engag-
ed in amusing herself with her new toy.
''How foolish you are to let child have
so valuable an object to play WITH re-
marked the ieweler to the father.
"Valuable !" responded the latter. '1
gave four francs and half for it the
other day." The jeweler took the neck
lace from the little girl and examined it
long and minutely. 81 do not care what
you paid for it, he said at length,
''but this much I do know: the pearls
are real, and the necklace is worth TO-
600 francs $4,000, at the very lowest
computation. If you doubt my SINGER
ity will prove it by giving you 5000
francs for it on the spot" The next
morning the gentleman hastened with
the necklace to the place where he had
purchased it, but the shop had in the
meantime been rented, and the Arab
had disappeared. How string of real
pearls had got mixed up with his beads
of wax and glass must, therefore. of
course, remain a mystery. Moral-Let
us buy largely and continuously of imita-
tion jewels, in the hope that they may
turn out real

The Railroad Prospect.

In our local columns will be found
a paragraph from the San Francisco
Post which almost confirms the views
of the HERALD expressed some weeks
since, that the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad would soon form a
part of trans-continental road which
would make this city its Western ter
minus. 1t appears that JAY GOULD,
VIM now has d heavy interest III the
Union Pacific road, is anxious-to effect
direct railroad communication with
this part of the coast, and to that end
he is consulting with Senator JONES
on the practicability of connecting the
road from this city with the Utah
Central. If this enterprise is carried
out it will be productive of grand re-
suits to this part of the State. The
road will pass through rich mineral
section, and through extensive coal
fields. 1t will cause the immediate
development of these gold and silver
mines, and bring into market the pro-
duct of the coal fields. The through
road will be worth millions of dollars
annually to Southern California.

ONE of the most effective steps that
could be taken toward the breaking
up of the land monopoly which ex-
lists in the San Joaquin Valley and
other portions of the State, would be
the Inauguration of q general or State
system of irrigation. If the revenue
necessary to carry out the scheme is
raised from the land benefited, the as
sessment on the large tracts now held
by men who will neither cultivate
them nor permit others to do so, will
be so heavy that they will soon realize
the necessity for realizing from their
lands something more than the mere
rental for sheep range. In the prepa-
ration of a bill looking to the passage
of an irrigation law, this important
consideration should be kept steadily
in view,

Insult to Immigrants.

We presume that if the immigrants
now coming into this State were told
that they were different class of peo-
pie from those who came here in '49;
that they were wanting in the energy,
enterprise and industry which char
acterized the early settlers, they would
deny the imputation and assert them
selves the equal in manhood and in
dustry of any who have preceded
them. We imagine that the people
coming here now are coming on their
own responsibility and expect to rely
on their own means and efforts for
the support of themselves and families.
Yet, such does not seem to be the con-
clusion of many of California's people
and journals. We hear of prepara-
tions for the immigrants and in one
or two instances charitable individu-
ais have suggested the establishment
of soup houses at which the impecun-
ious immigrant might obtain the
means to keep soul and body together
without money and without price.
However well these propositions may
be meant, we cannot but regard them
as libels on our State and insults to
the men and women seeking homes
on the Pacific coast. Bureaus of in
formation, circulars, pamphlets and
other means for enabling the new
conner to inform himself as to the
most desirable place to locate, are all
very well and will serve good purpose,
but the assumption that immigrants
are paupers, beggers and alms-takers,
is neither creditable to those now here
nor those on their way here. We do
not believe that many of the immi-
grants now coming to California will
patronize free soup houses, and we
hope they are not class who will
thank US for extending them such
liberal, though thin, hospitality. The
State will not be benefited by the in
flux of such people, and should they
come, we had much rather subscribe
to fund to send them back to the
place from whence they came, than to
induce them to remain by the dispen-
sation of free soup.

One of the finest Improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost,and others, such as cottOns, table
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building Of
the Lafayette Hotel. a16
