the cry, " How about Mrs. Surratt ~ He
responded:
Chow about her? Go and consult the

Smoking.

The boys who used to play truont
from New England schoomasters. !"
and then hunt for spruce gum, high-bush
cranberries, wild cats and foxes, would
occasionally drive Reynard into his hole,
or into the rocks where he was inacces,
sible. Then commenced the smoking
process with old wood, hemIock boughs
aud brush generally, which often brought
the suffering victim to the 4" mouth"
where he surrendered at discretion.
This smoking process is in vogue here
to some extent. But instead of foxes
human beings are the unwilling victims
n man comes into your office, and, if he
has not already a pipe or cigarin his
mouth, he jerks one from bis vest and
applies the match. No matter whether
YOU admire the weed, or even the smoke
of if, the smoke is, nevertheless, inevita
bic. The first is soon reinforced by one,
two, or perhaps dozen more, till at
length your room is a perfect cloud Of
smoke. Your books are smoky and
smell Of smoke, and your clothing is
saturated with smoke, You hasten
to the door, like Reynard TO the mouth"
to get one more breath of fresh air.
You go homo to dinner and your wife,
with frown, exclaim, ooh! horrid !
you have been in a perfect smoke-pit."
Next, go into the finest new store in
town. All is neat, sweet and cleanIy-
above, below, around, beneath. But
what is your astonishment upon STAYING
there five to ten minutes to see a burly.
careless fellow "siart his pipe," and 10,
the smoke arises. The lady customers,
if any are present, will beat hasty re
treat, and you may possibly infer that
they sometimes stake snuff"
Visit that store again in three to six
months, and ten chances TO one, you will
see a smoky, dingy place. It's walls will
look smoky, its goods will look smoky,
and you will pronounce it a smoky es-
adjustment.
Friendly smoker, remember these
things. Remember that all do not smoke.
If smoke you must, seek either the open
air or a smoke. house. Do not smoke in
a clergyman's study-do not smoke in a
dry goods store-do not smoke in a
ady's parlor.

Our Assessments.

Now is the time when we can fully
appreciate their merits. Now can we
compare notes aud figures, and determine
whether equality reigns. This should
not be done for the purpose of finding
fault, but Cor the purpose of avoiding
extremes hereafter. The only way to
remedy existing evils is to bring them
to notice.
In our own toSn it is doubtless trne
that the fairest and most judicious roll
exists that has ever been presented
From this it is safe to infer that we are
gradually approxmating a more nearly
equal basis. Yet there are now discrep-
auces, and the most apparent one is that
on or in personal property as compared
with real. Some valuable farms are
still assessed for less than one-half, and
in some cases, one-thirl their actual val
ne, while our personal property, gener-
ally, is assessed at fair selling price,
The result is that man with $500 in
personal goods, is this year paying about
ten dollars taxes, while a farmer with
twice or thrice the same value of real
estate, is paying no more. If the real
estate were assessed at its actual value,
it would reduce the taxes on personal
property to about one half of what we
are now paying. Even at our present
valuation, the real estate is three to one
against personal property. Doubling it
we should have six TO one. Instead of
paying one fourth the taxes, as it now
does, the personal property of this town
should not pay more than One-seyenth,
or perhaps one-eighth of the same.
Some of our heavy real estate owners
have proclaimed that doctrine of asses
sing real estate at the fair selling prices,
is humbug. But when the price is
affixed to poorly timbered lands, and
waste sand banks, bluffs and ravines, it
seems to be no humJug. Yet it makes
its owners " hum" bug" or some 9TH
er tune. when the tax roll is presented
1t is fact that about one-fourth of our
real estate, embracing all the poorest
portion, is assessed for more money than
it could be sold for, while lsrge share
of that which is really valuable, ie as
sessed for about one third it could be sold
for any week in the year.
Let us agitate these matters. then, in a
quiet, friendly spirit, and but few years
more will roll round before we shall
cease complaining that these matters are
so unequal. But we must learn to sub
NIT quietly to the better judgment and
opinions of our neighbors, remembering
that,

It's rarely right adjusted"
