THE CITY.
Tha Deep Well.
The advertisement {or bill a for boring a
deep well ill (Jnlveston la beinu very exten-
sively circulated throuuh the en^ineerinti
papers throughout the country and the
probability Is that thero will be quite a
number of bidders. Bids are to be iu by
noon on September 25. If the city should
be able to raako a iavorablo contract for
this work the well will be located on the
square now occupied by tho water works
plant, thus making the source of supply
immediately accessible to the distributing
plant.
M*. W. F. Beers, one of the members of
the water board, who has ju*t returned
from New York, is of the opinion that the
bidding for this work will lie quite erten-
sive and ihat Mr. Dull of that city, ojib of
the best known artesian veil borers in the
country, will probably enter into the com-
petition. The parties controlling the ap-
pliance by which the approximate
quantity of water and iti depth
umier the surface is ascertainable,
without the experiment of digging for it,
are not willing to enter into a conditional
contract with the city, with a guarantee to
locate f water supply preliminary to dig-
ging for it, but will engage to make a
thorough investigation fo.' the suniof £:i000
Without promisitiganvresu its. The city will
not nuree to anv 3uc!i arrangement as this,
but want s'ri'.igbt bids that will propose to
(fo lo adepth of 3000 feet for » stipulated
OOlt.
Mr. Beers savs that Mr. Dull is very «nx-
ious to locate the fresh watt-r vein that is
known to bubble ud in the j:ulf several
miles oft shore, his impression being that
this voiu runs somewhere uu<'er the island.
Last Night at the Beach.
To say that "standing room only" filled
the spaco of lie.ich lawn last uight would
not overestimate the great crowd which
packed a'.id crowded to si o the entertain-
ment famished. The concluding perform
ances of the Coyne brothers and the linal
artist'c work of Miss Stanley met with
worthv praise. The solos and duets
of Professor and Mrs. Addie Boos, together
with the tire-eating acts of Professor Del
Fuego were applauded, and they were called
back with nu earnestness that showed a le-
gitimate enthusiasm.
Beside the attractions a'.roady offered.
Colonel Sinclair has procured for the com-
ing week the song and dance artists Harry
DrTden and Larry Mitchell. They are
known here, and hava made a reputation
elsewhere nrh'ch is recorded in tho lists of
triumphs on ti'e vaudeville stage.
They will appear to night iu their special
ties, and will doubtless give an entertains
ids performance.
Back with His Prisoner.
Chief of Police I^ordan returned last night
from San Francisco with his prisoner, Den-
nis Collonge, wanted here to answer an in-
dictment charging him with combining
and conspiring in causing an affidavit to be
made against Messrs. Sampson and Isaac
lleldeuheimer for the purpose, as charged
In the indictment, of e\tortiug money, etc.
Collonge left before be was arrested under
the indictment, and how Chief I.ordan
traced him to San Francisco and captured
iiim there are facts that have already b en
published. Collonae is now safely lodged
id j»ll.
A Fishing Party.
A very enjoyable party went fishing yes-
terday morning, composed of tile following
p r„ons: Misi Genevev • G. Weis, Miss
Blanch Heidenl:ci:ner, Misses flretchen and
Josie Marx. Harry H. Levy, George 1 losen-
blatt, George, James and Michael Kahn.
After catching more Gsh than they could
carry it was decided to leave the Eih aad re-
turn for them with a larger boat.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
DIFFICULTIES OF METEOROLOGICAL
OBSERVATIONS AT SEA.
Samonvsi of Most of tha Articles X>ub-
lishetl on the Shipping Question.
Latest Arrivals anil
DepnrtnreSe
A correspondent of tho Nautical Maga-
zine, iu tin article on meteorological obser-
vations at sea, says the Maritime Register,
points out the many difficulties against
which observers at soa have to contend in
keeping meteorological data of any pound
vaiue. Hydrographic aud meteorological
offices must depend to a very large exteut
u; on the observation of merchant marine
ollicera for a greater part of the data from
which ocenn meteorological and other
charts are made. The combined navies of
the world davoting their tims entirely to
the work could not give one tithe of this
information. The importance, therefore, of
having these reports as near coirect as pos-
sible is obvious. We give elsewhere in this
issue some extracts from the communication
before mentioned, and we commend them
to tho attention of those interested in me-
teorological work. Navigators depend
rpon the government for charts and other
aids to navigation, but they themselves ure
really helpers of the government in macu-
facturing theso charts and it behooves them
to see that their part of th# work is well
done. It is to be remembered also that this
work grows in importance and that mar-
iners are tha principal sufferers from inac-
curacies that may appear. The hydro-
graphic oQice at Washington will give full
instructions to ships' oUlcers willing; to
make observations, aud while the work is
not the easiest, yet in the education that
comes from it and iu the value of its re-
turns to commerce, it will fully repny those
officers wiio will undertake the labor.
From the logs of merchant vessels, Maury
made up his routes that shortened ocean
voyages, from tho logs of merchant ves-
sels to-day are made deduction? that help
to insure safety in navigation and to
shorten the time of voyages. Full observa-
tion* are wanted, but accuracy must be
maintained before all else. We have no
doubt that the officers of our merchant
marine will do their share iu securing
meteorological and other data and will
give heed to the remarks to which we have
beioro called attention.
WHAT IS WANTFD.
It is singular what a sameness and also
disappointment there is in mout of the pub-
lished ar„iclts upon the shipping question,
says the Maritime Register. They begin
well, and one is induced to read them hop-
ing for some original ideas upon a much
mooted subject. But after the open-
ing paragraph comes much statistical mat-
ter about ihe condition of our merchant
marine before and after the war, with
very full comments thereon and greater
or lean misinformation, according to the
writer's sources of knowledge, then a com-
parison of other commercial navies with
our own, followed by hysterical allusions
'o the "flsg that waved over every sea"
being no longer seon, windiug up with wild
appeals for congress to alter this inferable
condition of affairs. There is no chang<\
One writer follows another like a lot of
she^p. And what is remarkable, a great
deal of this trash is by men from whom
better thiugs nro to be expectod. Almost
evtrvbody who knows anything of our
aijipniug understands thecaUiKS o; its de-
cline. Historical essays are not wanted. A
little honesty in tho discussion of means to
promote the maritime industry, irrespective
of politics or section, would be far more
welcome than nin*-t*-nths of the stuff that
is written upou the sueject.

He 8hnt OfT the U« otters, l>nt the Parrots
Wfre Too Much for Uim.
Next to a dojj ihat amuses himself by
birkiti'Z all nighi, a roaster that persists in
exercisiug his voice is u.iture's own nuis-
ance, especially wheu tho rooster lives in
town. A banker who used to I ve next doer
to a Dr. White, just beyond the city line,
owned two little bantam roosters, that he
had taught to crow for a grain of corn. Ho
would tako a double handful of corn out
into his back porcli, lift his hand, and tho
chickers would crow. Then he gave a grain
to each of them. This was cor tinned until
alt the corn was exhausted and the roosters
ware hoarse. This sort of thing amoved
Dr. White. One day a medical student
dropped into bis office about the time tue
sen uade began.
"I'd give £0 to shut o J that noise,n said
the doctor.
"You can do it for less than that," said
the student. •'Why don't you entice them
into your back yard some time when old
Rufe is down low n. catch them, and cut
th«ir vocal chords?"
"By Jove! That's the thing. Come
arouud to-morrow at 11 o'clock and assist
me in the operation."
The next day at the appoint-d hour the
student was at the office on time, so were
the roosters.
Within two minutes one vocal chord of
each chicken was cut. and then the birds
were tosaed over the fence to their home.
At n^on the owner came out on his porch
for his daily amuaement. White and the
student watched him through a crack in
the fence. He lifted his hand and the littie
squalisrs reaped back and went through the
motions, but did not utier a sound.
The banker lifted his hand again with
the same result, lie went out into the yard
and walked around his pets, but he couldn't
see anything wrong
Then he called his wife,and the two made
a critical examination. He made them go
through their pantomime for an hour and
got disgusted. He tried it every dsy for a
I week and then killed the roosters and ate
' them. When he found out six moths after-
ward what White had done be bought two
large donkey-voiced parrots, trained them
to say: •* Dr. White," sud "White is a*
I ass. ' and hung their cagcs on his back
i porch.

A Mound 1200 Ff»«t High Hullfc by Old
£«>!*« Worshipers.
Charles S. Wimple, one of tho wealthier
miners of Mexico, is a recent arrival in
San Francisco. To a representative of the
Call of that city b«.told '-he following won
derful story: *'You have asked me to give
an account of the iuterestiug mountain
mv "riend, Jesse D. Grant, an I myself saw
during our trip through Mexico en routo
to this city. Well, the mountain is at once
one of the most gigantic exhibitions of
man's handiwork and something almost
beyond credence were we not already
familiar with the works of the Aztecs.
Just imagine a valley forty or fifty miles in
area, aud from its center arising a mound
oyer 1200 fe»,'(. in height. Then you can
realize the first effect created upon our
min is when we came l>efcro tho hill I am
to descril>e. M\ for*»-nau was with us, r.nd
bad partly prepared us for the surprise,
but we bad treated h.sstorvwlth Incredu-
lous remark", ami had by no means sus-
pected he had but given a modest descrip-
tion of the mound.
"Wegaz^i to the top and allowed our
ey«*s to follow the win lings of a road dowu
to the base. We went around the base and
conjectured luat it was about one and a
half miles in circumfer nee. Then we
started for the summit. The roidway was
built of solid rock cle»ir to the pinnacle, and
was from thirty to forty feet in width. A
wall of soil ! rock formed a foundation and
an inside wall at the same time. The outer
edi;e of the ro id was uugnarded. The
s'ones wei-,'h all the way up ro a ton each
and avu not cemented. The roadway is as
level as a floor, and is coveted with broken
pieces of earth nware water vessels.
"Half way uu tho mnuu'.uin is aa altar
cut in solid rojk: in the niche is a bo.rld^r
which must- weigh at least six tons. The
bowlder is of different stone from that
used in the walls. The rocks in the wails
•ire dressed by skilled workmen, but are
notpoli«hed. We saw no inscriptions; iu
fact, we hnd no time to spare in making a
searching investigation. We did look for
arrow beads or other warl'ke implements
to satisfy ourselves that the mound had
not been used for defensive or offensive pur-
poses. Nor was there anv evidenc * to prove
that the roaftway had been built for the
purpose of witnessing bull lights and other
sports in the valley. 1 couel only conclude
tb^ Aztcc sun worshipers expended years of
labor on the hill in oider that they might
have »n appropriate place toceiebrauj their
imposing festivities, iuHsmuch as the road-
way Wits strewn witii broken earthenware,
and those scions of a bygone and notable
race were known to carry at sunriHe large
(•uar.tities of water in earthenaare jars to
au eminence and there pour out the liquid
ana smash the vessels.
" \Vheu wo descended we brought with us
a number of small sea shells which had
petrified, and if you will look at theso on
my table you will see how they have btien
perforated by the Indians. We aurain took
a loug look at the mountain, and saw it
was oblong in shape, and that t':e upward
road commenced on the eastern side. I
have traveled on both sides of the moun-
tains from British Columbia to Central
A merica, and on either side of the Sierra
AJadres, where the c'iff-dwellers have left
such remarkable mementos of their skill
and customs, but I have never witnessed
anything so wouderful and magnificent as
the mound which I have been tei.ing you
about.
"i\io valley is about 000 feet above the
sMa level, ami is about sevent y miles from
the coast. It is situated in Honor a, between
the cities of Altar and Majdalena, and
near tho Magdalena rive.*. We called the
curiosity Palisade mountain, and it iu well
named."
A RICH HEATHEN.
Death of China's Wealthiest Mon-Honr
12e Made His Money
The mail which has just arrived from
China, says tha London Times, brings news
of the death, at his palac® at Honam, in
Canton, of probably the wealthiest man in
China. In the history of the foreign trade
of China no name is so celebrated as that of
Howqua. For tha last forty years of its
existence be was the head of a unique cor-
poration of monopolists known as the Co
Hong, wiiicu was usually composed of eight
Canton merchants. Ills wealth was almost
fabulous. Io 1831 hs pn*. it down himself
at over §20,000,0JO. In 18-11, when Sir Hugh
Gough levied a ransom cf $8,000,000 ou tho
city of Canton, Howqua a vanced over one
million to the authorities.
Ho was the leading tea merchant of China
of those days, the congou teas which he
grew ou his own estate being especially re-
nowned ou the London market. The Napo-
leon of the trade of China died, aged 74, in
181'*, and war. succeeded by his son, who died
last month. The magnificent gardens of his
residence in Canton were one of the many
sights of the city. He was always pleased
to show them and bis mansion to Kazlish
visitors, and he never failed to draw atten^
tion to the presents which his father and
himself received from successive K'iglisli
sovereigns in recognition of services ren-
dered lo Biitish subjects in Canton. The
younger Howqua was nearly CO years of ago
at the time of his death.
AbDut Taste.
Of t .ste, a medical journal says that it is
not equally distributed over the whole sur-
face of the tongue. "There are three dis-
tinct regions or tracts, each of which has to
perform its own special office or function.
The tip of the tongue is concerned mainly
with pungent and acid tsstes; the middle
portion is sensitive'chb fly to sweets or bit-
ters. while the back or lower port on con-
fines Itself entirely to the flavo-s of rich,
fattv substances. This subdivision of
faculties in the tongue makes e*ch piece of
food undergo three separate examinations,
which must be successively passed before it
is admitted into full participation in the
lininau anatomy."
Three Unique Bunyans.
The most important books in English
literature that came into the possesion of
the British museum last year are officially
declared to be the three unique, or almost
unique copies of editions of works of John
Hunysn, purchased from Mr. Stevens, says
tho London News. So far has cpiuion
traveled since the days when, as Macaulay
somewreift observes, the writings o' the
author of Pilgrim's P ogress were looked
upon as th * delight only of the ignorant.
The chlcf item of these treasures is Bun-
yau'a first work, Homo Gospe! Truths
Opened According to the Scriptures, Lon-
don, 165-5. Only oue other copy is kuown,
and that is imperfect. It is a co n t ro versa 1
treatise against the Quakers, and, although
Hnnyan's earliest production, cuntaius the
first piloted notice of him, iu tho form of a
prefatory address by .John JESurtou, who
says: "Tuis man is not chcccn out of an
earthly but out of the heavi niyunivers ty."

FROM AN ATLANTA DRUMMER.
Mr. A. K. Hawkes, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir; You doubtless remember me
getting a class of you uearly three weeks
ago. I had then given up all hopes of ever
being able to read again. The last three
weeks, howor.-r, with the use of your glass-
es, mv eyes have been wonderfully benefit-
ed, and I have been enabled to do a great
deal of reading, the first I had done in two
years, aud moreover I have great hopes of
their entire recovery in a few years. I can
not too highly recommeud ycur glass to my
friends. Your respectfully,

EDITORIAL OPINION OF H. RYDER
TAYLOR.
The plnce nez of tha celebrated optician
A. K. Hawkes of Austin are certainly the
best eye glasses in the country. They fit
easy on tlie nose, do not strain the eyes and,
what is even of more advantage, improve
the sight. The editor knows this by expe-
rience because he wears the glasses and can
therefore confidently recommeud them to
his friends. [Texas Figaro.
