VARS. Rauam,s Assntlnnt.

Yesterday noon Captain Myers, whose
whole name is Louis Tombelo Meyers,
was arrested and brought to the station
for being drank and disorderly. As
soon as Chief Cooney came in and had a
look at him, he ordered the charge to be
altered to an assault with deadly
weapon. The charge under which the
man is likely to be tried will he assault
with intent to kill. The intended victim
was Mrs. Ranan, who has been living
for some time at No. IL Georgia street.
She and Meyers had been living together
for some time, and he had frequently
been to her for money. Thursday he got
very, drunk and demanded more money,
and was refused. Then, according to the
testimony OF several who overheard the
remark, he said that he would finish the
businss up and get himself sent north.
Thursday evening about o'clock he
made an effort to shoot her, firing into a
window near which she was sitting. She
ran back into the house and he disappear
ed. He will be taken before the lower
court to-day.

NEW YORK IMPORTERS.
They Propose TO Establish q Branch
House In this AitK.

The Secretary OF the Chamber of Com
merce has received communication
from VIM. 7. Taylor & Co, of New
York, relative to the matter Of the estab-
fishing of Los Angeles as port of entry.
This is the largest linen i'm porting house
in the world and practically controls the
wholesale trade throughout the country.
The firm has been inten ing for come
time to establish branch house on this
coast, and is disposed to select Los An
geles as the location. Ii the scheme
were carried out as planned, goods would
be carried by water to New Orleans, and
thence by rail to Los Angeles.
A letter on the same subject from
Staunton, Eddows & Co., whose house u
one of the leading establishments OF
Liverpool, gives the figures as they are
under the present arrangement.
Freightage per ton to San Francisco
at present is 75 shillings, or about $l8 70.
To Los Angeles the cost is $25. II Los
Angeles were a port OF entry where
custom duties could be paid, the goods
could be entered and bonded at New
Orleans and shipped directly here with
even less expense than they are now
sent across the continent to San Fran
cisco.
The matter of making Los Angeles a
port of entry has been up for discussion
in the meetings of the Chamber at vari-
GUS times. but no definite action has been
taken. The attention of Senator Stan
ford and of Senator Hearst was called tc
the question when they were here in the
city. The proposition of Taylor & Co.
gives practical turn to the matter and
may result in the desired change.
The Secretary of the Chamber has
written to Taylor & Co., advising them of
the intention of the body to put forih
efforts in the direction suggested, and
proposing that the House should take
into consideration for the present the
plan of having goods examined in New
Orleans before they are shipped hither.

Los Angeles has long had one of the
best restaurants in t1e United States,
kept by Colonel Jerry lllich. The only
thing about it that has not been up to
tho standard OF the times has been the
building itself, which is an old and ram
shackle affair. The cuisine has always
been equal to Delmonico's, but the APP
poiutments were not such as the pro-
prietor desired. In tbs ensuing May the
old building viii be torn down, and ii
will be replaced by handsome edifiee
especially designed for a restaurant. II
will be the finest ON the Coast. In add.
ton to the ground floor, it will have
eleven elegant private rooms on the
second story, and roof designed after
the fashion Of Tony Faust's, at st. Louis
where one can dine or sup al fresco, sur.
rounded by flowers and shrubs. Tbs
idea is good one.

NEW THING IN COTTON.

Discovery of the Sexes of tho Plant by a
 South Carolina Grower.
 News comes from Spartansburg, S. C., one of the best cotton growing counties Of that State, of a new cotton plant, which, if 1t is as claimed, will make a wonderful revolution in the agricultural and cotton-oil interests of the Nation. T. Ferguson, an experienced cotton planter, claims to have a cotton plant which will produce nothing but cotton seed without the lint. His statement, as given by the Atlanta Constitution, is briefly as follows:
 He claims that there is male and fe- male cotton-plant-th male being des- ignated, he thinks, by the red calks The seeds are vari-colored, the shades being generally blue, green and white, and of course can not be distinctly speci- fled. Given this fact, Ferguson com menced some time ago to pick out the male plants, and, with the seed extract ed from them, planted another patch separately. When the crop was ready for picking the male plants were again selected and the production of the seeds planted separately again. The process of selecting the male plants was kept up until at last tho lint refused to germi- nate and nothing is loft in the bolls save large amount of seed. The amount of seed contained in the boil is moro thar equal to the weight of the lint and seed found in the average-sized boil of cot ton. Ferguson claims that he can pro- duce four hundred bushels of seed to the acre by this new discovery, where only thirty-fve bushels are now gathered with the lint.
 An expert who was shown tho plant and bolls said the boil has the appear ance, both on the exterior and the in- terior, of a regular boil of cotton after the lint has been picked out. The seeds are a little larger than the con- mon seed, and are perfectly free from any mblance of lint. The bolls arc filled with these seeds, which are as num- erous as okra seed in a pod of okra. The revolution that will be effected by this new cotton plant, it it can be cultivated successfully, will be beyond calculation. If Ferguson's calculations are correct the cotton-oIl business will be entirely revolutionized. The planters who now raise cotton are fortunate if they can make 200 pounds of lint cotton to the acre. Counting the value of cotton seed at $50 an acre is considered big return to planters in this State. Fer guson claims that his new cotton-seed plant will yield at least 800 an acre. This amount he says will be obtained from 400 bushels of cotton-seed at 20 cents bushel, that being the present price paid for the new seed.

'.Then ono answer will do for both oi us, said Augustus. II want her because I love her.
 "Ne.' cried Gilbert ''no, Mr. Horton. Do not sully the pure and holy name of Love by so base blasphemy. Yours is the low passion of the proffiga ate who seeks to destroy that which he pretends to love. Mine is the honorable senti- ment of the man who seeks to bestow upon her he adores the sacred name of wife,"
 "Iou Britishers have another way o1 thin king to what we have in Louisiana, '' answered Augustus; "we don't marry our slaves. However, I've no wish to quarrel with other folks opinions; the girls mine and don't mean to part with her. so good day tNeyou, MT. Margrave."

 Augustus Horton shrugged his shoul- ders.
 II would be very glad to oplige you, MT. Margrave," he said; "but as don't happen to want money just now, and as I've a fancy for keeping the Octoroon, I beg to decline your liberal offer"
 Gilbert Margrave glanced at him with scornful smile.
 ''I appealed to you as a gentleman" he said. II was mistaken. You shall hear from me tonight"
