knowledge Of Greek and other langua ges.
Her first poem, The Wells, was written
when she was seventeen. Her pext was
The Arctic Expedition, which led. in
1922, to her marriage with Capt. Frank

de Lion, which appeared III 1925. Her
poems display much elegance. spirit and
richness of Imagination. The foregoing
incidents i'll her life we find III a biographi-
cal dictionary. This lady has recently at.
lracted the attention and excited the ad-
miration of the civilized world, by her
energetic and perseverng efforts to send
relief TO her adventurous husband in the

Victor Hugo estimates the annual cost
of maintaining the standing armies OF
Europe at FIVE hundred millions of dol
lars. This outlay would, in few years,
paw off every national debt of Europe.
In few years more, it would. if wisely
expended, so eaualize the population OF
the globe by great system of emigra-
ton. that every man might, have fair
opportunity to earn competence by
his labor. In few more, 1t would
place educational systems ON such basis
ard with such a scope. thatthe substance
of all the important knowledge IN the
possession of mankind might be impaired
to all. In few years more, the area Of
civilization and Christianity might be
enlarged. till it embraced the haoltable
earth. then Christendom would mean the

so large a sum for any but diabolica
purposes, has not yet appeared among

InlpOrtaHt to Sheriffs in Assessing Taxes.
The following Official opinion of the Attorney
General has been handed to us by the Auditor,
for publication, with the view of producing uni
fortuty among the Sherffs in assessing lands and
i'm proven ents for taxation. Under our laws, no
lands can be assessed at less than fs3 per acre
Ii will be seen, however, that the Attorney Gene
raj is of opinion that the value is not confined to
the land alone, but, where the land is not worth
Ss3 per acre, the improvements may be taken in
to the estimate; and thus, if the land and mprov
ments thereon not worth sS3 per acre, the
whole may be assessed at that rate -GG2. # Dem.

SIR:-Your communication enclosing letter
Of the Sheriff of Calhoun county, and requesting

From this section of the law, | am of the opn-
