So"a Of our friends do not like the late
assessment law, aud find great trouble in
eiviu- in their tax able property. If the law
is rightly understood we think all will be

assessment and light tax the very thing for
farmers. Heretofore there have been thou
sands of large capitalists in our State re-
ceiving the benefit OF millions Of dollars
without paying m re tax than an Ordlna-

THE idea was suggested, not long since,
of protecting the vineyards of France dur
ing critical periods Of cold by the formation
of artificial clouds that should prevent ex-
cessive radiation from the soil, and the ex-
pertinent was recently tried at Suresnes- In
a vineyard OF about 80 acres there were
placed $50 iron vessels containing heavy
oil. All these being lighted at one, thick
black cloud was soon inierposed between
the vines aud the sky. During clear and
calm weather these clouds remain in place,
and thus perfectly answer the purpose. The
expense Of this operation, including pots,
oil. and labor, was estimated at about 40
cents per acre, and those who witnessed the
experiment were assured Of its value and
its practical availability.

That journal declares tlat the roceeding is
not an act Of bad faith, bus revolutionary,

installed into Office, the President bad his
bayonets ready to support him against any
claim of the Liberals TO the possession Of
the State offices; but so keen is the Presi-
dents desire to keep up the ascendency OF
his party in the Sou hern States, that close
observers Of his conduct here believe that
