two weeks there was great hope of his
complete recovery. Then the prima
donna prepared to take him home.
But before she went she visited head
quarters, and by exhibiting her pass
ports and by her own energy, received
permission to look at tho French from
the most advanced lines. Six hussars
escorted her. But when French bull
let's began to fly she ordered them back,
saying: "No human life shall be sac-
rificed for me"
Then she went forward alone, with
her psrasol and opera glass, and pene-
trated to the furthest pickets. She
stayed TO see some shells explode in
her neighborhood, and to view the red
caps of tho French. The men in the
rife pits were in agony lest she should
get hurt But as she said: "No French
bullet was so unmannerly as to hit
a lady" Next day she started for
Berlin with her husband in charge.

OsAhiOOs0S l0Why
Nv dear Sir.-It is rulnored here
that another bond, given by Major
Rankin as latc as 1870, has been found
by the Secretary Of the Agricultural
College. 1t 10 further rumored that
my name Is on the bond % one Of the
bondsmen. j have no positive knowl.
edge as 10 the truth OF this, but have
no reason-to doubt it i do not re-
member signing bond with the Major,
but had such confidence In his ability
and integrity, three years ag0, that IL
he had asked me to sign . bond with
him I should have done so without :
second thought; aud it il therefore not
strange that l should have forgotten
it. write you thus early in regard
to this matter that there may be no
mistaking my position. 1t has always
been conviction with mo that when q
man accepts q public trust his Official
duties are above his private and per-
sonal interests; therefore / desire to
say now that il you regard this bond
as valid, and as covering any portion
of Rankin's defalcation, / hope you
viii take prompt steps to collect upon
it. And should you be in doubt as to
its legal effect, in view of the time
which has elapsed since it was given, i
desire you to give the State the bene.
fit of the doubt aud proceed to the
collection, or at least to the determine
ton of the doubt through the courts.
The only thing that will give us an
administration OF public affairs in the
interest Of pure government 10 to
promptly expose every delinquency,
no matter who 1t may involve, and to
rigidly enforce the law in the collec-
ton Of forfeited securities, no matter
who may suffer; and Notwithstanding
my circumstances are such that the
payment of any considerable sum
would take all | have, yet it will not
hurt me more than anybody else In tho
same situation, and desire to see the
law enforced to the end,
Your friend,

Title 6, relating to revenue--the bill
which the Senate amended three times
to its death--is slowly working its way
through the House. The signs are
hopeful that it may survive the lcgis-
lation it is receiving, for, knowing its
frail tenure Of existence, the House
handles 1t tenderly and with care. 1t
has been worked upon nearly day
and half and may be finished in q
couple of days. The amendments
thus far, are neither important nor nn-
merous. Considerable discussion en-
sued upon a motion to tax all libraries.
AS finally adopted, the amendment is
to tax all professional libraries whose
value exceeds two hundred dollars.
An amendment was passed requiring
Supervisors who. exempt property
from taxation on account oftree plant
ing, to make specific rules and regula-
tions in regard to the number per acre,
manner of planting, etc.
The old, yet ever new question OF
the railroads was again under consid-
Grafton with the usual result, nothing
new. The question was proposed
amendment requiring that all railroad
property of whatever character, per-
-g - -a d. { -. -
sonal or real, lands, lots, ETC., situated
outside of their right of way, be taxed
the same as ali individuals property.
Some very forcible speeches were
made by our orators, both for and
against--and that was all.
The House passed a bill authorizing
members of the Assembly to draw
warrants upon the Auditor for their
allowance OF postage as provided in
the resolution Of last winter appro-
priating stamps.

ment January LIST 1874, has been de-
