grape and its wine making capacity
doubled every year. It has
inaugurated a system of public schools, witi
a seven years curriculum, second to aone.
This is part of the record of a half

admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having tke finest climate, summer

THE LATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF
THE SCIENCE.
An Instrument That a Man Can Send Mis
Autograph by, Distance Making no
Difference at All—It Shut-
Out Forgery—Notes.
Chicago Di e. 3.—From his workshop
in Highland park, Professor Elisha Gray
is at last able to lay on the desk of his
correspondent in Milwaukee a far simile
of whatever ho puts on paper at this end
of the wire. The finishing touches to
the tel-autogyaph will be made w ithin
the next two week-.
A head company lias been formed in
New York, and subordinate companies
are organizing over the country to put
the invention in use.
“The instrument now reproduces each
stroke of the pen or pencil with almost
exact fidelity,'' said Prof. Gray to a re
poriev. “The reproduction is just up to
the point of not being original. The dif¬
ference is enough to prevent long dis¬
tance forgery. At the same time the
copy at the otiier end is so nearly like
what you write that for all ordinari-
purposes it is your handwriting."’
Several specimens of copy, when com¬
pared with the original, snowed a slight
waviness of line as the only distinction.
One could come much nearer telling the
perfected reproduction phonograj of a friend's voice by the
h from the voice it¬
self than he could a tel-autogia; Jiic copy
0f the same friends handwriting from his
true fist.
“I expect the invention. " continued
Professor Gray, "at once to supersede
the telephone where accuracy is required
and over long distances. It will also lie
taken up immediately as an adjunct to
the telegraph in the transmission of mes¬
sages involving make monetary transactions.
It can no mistakes. It tells at the
other end just what you write, word for
word and line for line. No operators or
third partii s intervene as interpreters be¬
tween the two pieces of paper. They
stand as fac-simile records, in tins hands
of transmitter and receiver, of what has
passed The machine between the parties."

penman. It will reproduce any line

a representative sunflower mugwump, a bunch of
daisies, and a were only limit¬
ed in faithfulness by the execution of
the draughtsman. will An illustrated tele¬
gram not be one of the least novel¬
ties of the future.
When I rofessor Gray's company gets
its lines established, the business man
will be able to impress on his dispatches
the authenticity of his autographs. A
resident of Jacksonville during the fever
can, at a moment’s notice, show his
anxious wife in the north that his hand
is still steady. The lover ran put into
the swiftest message all the dots and
crosses and flourishes his sweetheart lias
learned to love. In short, the tel-auto-
graph is designed to do the work of the

of IIin Household-
New Y’ork, Dec. 5.—[Special.]—The
sale of the furniture and personal effects
of James D. Fish, ex-president of the de¬
funct Marine bank of Wall street, who
figured so conspicuously in the failure of
that institution, aud also in the collapse
of Grant and Ward, have been sold at
public auction.
There were few- present, and the arti
eles sold for much less than they were
really worth.
They comprised chairs, brass Bedsteads, ma¬
hogany ish oheffoniers, Axminster sideboards, carpets, Turk¬ rich
rug», aud other goods, comprising in
curtains,
all, thirty-five lots.

their troubles several years ago.

Russia's Unfortunate l our,.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 5.—[Special, ]--
Considerable uneasiness prevails through¬
out the country, owing to the circum¬
stances in which the loan of $100,000,000
haa been contracted.
Great political significance is attached
to tha fact that the negotiations with the
Berlin-Rothschild syndicate failed, in
consequence of it insisting on receiving
a guarantee that no portion of the loan
should be employed for war purposes.
Russia declined to borrow on the con¬
dition named, and the negotiations were
abruptly ended.
Germany is just as anxious to discern
the object for which so large a sum of
money was required as are the people of
this country.

and both amused and
1 the liberals.
The estimates foi the law courts
to $.'1,750,000, and of this vast
much, it is charged, is spent in fihs
evident corruption and johls-ry.
It uppeurs 1 hat a majority of tho uum-
go.si places in the law 1 ourts are
not by public coni{>ctitioa, as in
bran hi s of I he civil service, hut
nomination.
Lord Chancellor Halsbury, who de¬
t hat no person who did not be¬
lieve in the supernatural should be al¬
low,' 1 to sit on a jury, has some very
valuable sin, einvs, among them being a
permanent secretary at $8,000 a year, a
of presentations at $2,000, who re¬
another salary t,i $2,000 as parlia¬
mentary clerk, a purse-bearer at $2,’K)0,
a -eal-bearer ut $1.6*0 and a train-l>earer
$1,000.
Some of these offices are 111,t tilled at
yet the salaries pertaining to them
regularly lord chancellor drawn, but by whom only
the known, and u few
who will not tell.
In addition to these, there are five
elerks who have not been seen
near tf. law , ourts since 1871. Their
linnet, have, however, been regularly
1 aid, and even this year provision has
made for meeting their demands.
An investigation into the abuses in con¬
nection with appointments in the law
courts has he n asked for, but it w ill not
I e granted, for the government shrink*
from the euMHiii* of corruption in fiigh
places would which it is gonerallv believed it
