GEN AsAM BApEAu has given up his
contention that he was the real author OF
Grants Personal Memoirs. and accepts
from Mrs. Grant the payment of his
claim for services, according TO the gen
srous terms az reed upon b. Gen. Grant
He now admits that the compositior OF
the memoirs was wholly Gen. Grant's--as
indeed no intelligent reader could doubt
and that his work wGs only of sugges-
ton, revision and veriication.
No better illustration OF the wonderful
wealth of the United States is furnished
than the figures which David T. Day, of
the division OF miaing statistics o. the
United States geological survey gives, re-
gardipg the immense mineral output Of
the country for the past year. They
show that the total value of all minerals
raised that year amounted TO $53s .o00,-
600. This is $70,ooO,000 more Than the
output during the previous year, and
more than 81 900, 900 greater than that of
1885. The last years outpu. is not only
the greatest ever raised in the United
States, but is a. least 100000, 600
greater than the output of any other
country, and leaving out England is
greater than that .. all Europe put to-
gether. Verify, we are living in u mar
velous country, which the ready ingenu-
ity of the people is doiug more and more
to develop.

THE achievement of the Lick telescope

THE achievement of the Lick telescope
bringing the moon within sixty miles
the earth, is justly regarded as one OF
the most important events of the age.
While the actual "trip TO the moon" is
still unrealizable except with the aid OF
some sucll highly wrought imagination
as Jules Verne's, good many. of the
pleasures of the trip can be enjoyed in q
,eep through this famous telescope.
famous as il Is, its fame Ia to be rivaled.
Che University of Southern California is
negotiating for a telescope With 42-iach
lenses to- be erected on one of the noun
tain peaks near Los Angeles. This will
be six inches larger than the Lick tele
scope, and oaghtto reduce still further the
apparent distance of the moon. By the
use of the last named instrument il has
been discovered that the man in the
moon uses canals. The larger instru-
ment will probably disclose the character
OF the canal boats and show whether they
are drawn by horses or mules.

These commissioners prescribed under

the Paraguayan dictator, was a terrible

even ten years of age. There never was
greater heroism displayed. Naked Para

City improvements.

a marked spirit for making improve
ments is becoming manifest on all sides in
this city, and this should be fostered by
ary property holder and well-wisher of
fireplace. The efforts of the City Improve
ment Association have already been strong
ly felt for good, and as the present unusu-
ally cold weather passes off, renewed activ-
ity Will be put forth by the several commit
tees of the society to accomplish far more
the approaching spring than hes thus far
been attempted An ordinance has been
prepared, and ii is understood will
be introduced by Mayor Gregory next
Monday for consideration and passage
by the Board of Trustees, requiring that
all sidewalks hereafter put down on the
leading business streets shall be of artificial
stone, and that awnings erected in future
upon the same streets shall be of the self
supporting pattern, not having any posts
extending to the outer edge of the walk.
An organized effort to get shade trees set
out wherever there are none at present
along the resident streets of the city will be
put forth from now until spring, and all
residents should aid this work all in their
power, as it will not only increase the
value Of property adjoining but add
greatly to the beauty and attractiveness of
the city. Let each owner of a lot that is
not already properly fronted with trees i'm
mediately constitute himself or herself a
committee of one to aid on the good work
by having shade trees planted during jan
uarv and February. and the sooner the bet
ter. II every one will join in this work it
will be very easy of accomplishment.

why Are They Not Prosecuted?

Not long since Mrs. Fay who keeps a
low beer dive on Second street. near S.
which is the rendezvous of a number of
degraded men and women, was arrested on
complaint of Mrs. Bridget Plunkett. who
owns property in the vicinity, and who
wants the nuisance abated, and who prefers
a charge OF selling liquor without a license.
When the case came on for hearing in the
Police Court, there having been no effort
made by the proper officials to collect evi.
dence, the defendant was discharged for
want OF prosecution. Mrs. Plunkett hay
ing lost faith in the efficiency of the police
department to regulate order in the CITY.
yesterday appeared before Justice of the
Peace 6. G. Davis. and swore to a COM
plant charging Mrs. Fay with selling
liquor without license, contrary to the
intent OF Ordinance No. 8 of the Board of
Supervisors. This time the witnesses will
be subpenaed, and the case prosecuted, as
1t should be. In this connection it would
be well for the police to keep an eve Oh
certain saloons on the edge of the CITY on
any fine Sunday afternoon. Some of these
saloon-keepers are in the habit of and one
is known positively to have sold intoxicat-
ing liquors to minors. Such places should
be under the strict surveillance of the DO
lice and the proprietors prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law 1t is presumed.
however, that nothing will be done in the
matter, on account of the nearness Of the
spring election. Each saloon keeper has a
vote, and some of them - political pull, :"
anc the police are very careful not to iniure
their opportunities by making arrests that
might effect their chances OF reelection.

A Horse-Thief Caught.

A correspondent at Woodland, under date
of January 10th, says: A few days ago
Henry Savers, formerly employed on the
ranch of ]. w. Hiatt, near Huntsville, pur-
chased a mare from G.. w. Thistle, near
Davisvilie, agreeing to pay $50 for the
animal Savers represented to Mr.. Thistle
that he lived near kirksville, and wanted
the animal to complete a big team which
was one animal short. In some way Mr.
Thistle learned that he had been duped,
and that Savers was not only irresponsible
for the money, but that he reveled in one
or two aliases, which reflected no credit
| upon his reputation. lie thereupon swore
out a warrant for the arrest of Savers.
which was placed in the hands OF Constable
Huston Saturday, fiie officer proceeded
with the warrant TO Khksville, where he
| found Savers without difficulty, but learned
| that he had traded the animal to a china
man. The officer brought his prisoner TO
Woodland Saturday night but Savers was
afterward released upon promising TO re-
turn the mare the following day. Savers
evidently regarded this promise as sacred,
for yesterday he returnsd with the animal.
This would have been a delightful settle
ment OF the matter, so ar as Savers is con-
cerned. had not the 01naman to whom
| Savers traded the auimsd appeared later in
the day and swore out . warrant charging
Savers with having stolen the mare the
previous night. Officer Huston imme-
diately hunted up Savers and again placed
him under arrest, takini, him to the County
Jail"
Savers had his preliminary examination
