p0-It seems that New Hampshire
is not, as has been currently stated,
the first or only State in which laws
providing for compulsory education
have been passed. This month,
September, an act to that effect pas
sed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture goes into effect in Michigan.
In Texas similar legislation is soon
to be put in force. In California the
Republican party just in power is
pleged to the same course.

e1- Michigan has adopted the nov
ell idea of assessing property for the
purpose Of State taxation at some
thing approaching it's market price.
The State Board OF Equalization has
fixed the aggregate equalized vaIua-
ton of the State for the comming
five years at s63O,OOO,O00. or about
IS per cent. of the real cash value of
the State. Heretofore from one
quarter TO one-half of the cash value
has been taken as basis Of adjusts
ment. II is time that similar re,
form was made ia this State especial
ly in the rural districts. As it is
now, farms arc assessed at about the
price of wild land, making no allow
ance for improvements or buildings,
while city property pays on about so
per cent. of its value. The result is
that the cities pay much more than
their fair share of the State taxes.

Doolit,le, in explaining how he
was consoled for the numerous at
Jacks upon him for bis political apost-
acy, raised his right band significant
ly towards heaven, and placing
bis left band suggestively about
half way between bis heart and

an appealing expression upon his
benign countenance which an ltal-
ian begger might envy and which be
could study with profit, exclaimed
patheticaIIy, that it was bis con
science which sustained him through
good and evil report. = We therefore
conclude, from the suggestive posi-

heart and bis belly which will prob
ably fully account foshis continually
