having repeatedly been the residence of

the gnuineness of the relic, much less

We paused this morning, says the

pass along the streets. Over it nodded
the sable plumes, ami silken curtains
hid from curious eyes the casket of the
friendless dead, and bullion fringe and
silver lace work could not dctract from
the solemnity of death. No carriages
followed the hearse to mans last rest
ing-place no stifled sobs burst from
the lips of stricken mourners no eyes
turned pityingly upon the scanty
funeral; the great heart of the city
throbbed increasingly on, and the roar
and clamor of traffic hushed the hollow
rumble of the catafalque Buried
alone-ahl when might il come
upon us, thus to pass from
the Present into the eternal Flu
ture TO commit ourselves alone to the
bosom of the river, whose waters lave

brother in the vicinity OF Boston. The
Boston brother was pleased with this

AN INTELLIGENT PARRor.-The
natural history editor of the Lexington,
KY, Press tells this:
GA lady residing in city not a hun
dred miles from Lexington is the pos
SCISSOR of two pets-a monkey and
parr ot-who are by no means congenlal
friends in fact, Mrs. G. was in the habit
of locking up the monkey whenever she
left the house, for fear of his belligerent
qualities. One evening, alas she neg
lected to do so, and the monkey coming
in found the parrot ready for fight,
and a very desperate one ensued. The
monkey ruthlessly pulled out every
feather of the unhappy parrot, and
broke up the mantel ornaments, and
smashed things generally. When Mrs.
G. returned she found the monkey chat
tering on the mantelpiece, and out crept
the parrot looking deeply injured, and
greeted her with, We've had a hell of
time The appropriateness of the
remark caused shouts of laughter"

GLOOMY PROSPECT FOR INSURANCE.
The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
There is Increasing evidence of a
concealed plan for the destruction Of
New York, and the authorities are ex-
ercising the.utmost vigilance. Extra
men have been engaged on the Fire De-
partment, and additional engines are
under contract. Many Communists, ex-
PEELED from Paris after its last capture,
are in New York, and their movements
excite much suspicion. 1t is impossible
to account for the origin of all the re-
cent fires except on the theory that
some of them were incendiary. 1t is
known that half dozen fires have been
set within the past ten days, but fortu-
nately they were extinguished.

of pale blue silk, with an overdress of
Valenciennes lace. Like her mother,
Miss Grant has beautiful arms, neck
and hands, and she appears to the

Mr.. MERRIAM has introduced in the
House of Representatives bill restrict
ing the publication of the yearly ad-
vertisements for proposals to carry the
mails to one or more newspapers printed
in the Congressional district or Terrific
ry where the routes begin, pass through
or terminate. If this bill becomes a
law ii will effect much needed reform.
At present columns and columns of
proposals for mail service are published
at great expense in partisan newspapers
where there is no possibility of their
meeting the eye of probable bidders.
In this way double purpose is effected.
The owners Of the partisan papers are
rewarded for their subserviency by the
patronage thus bestowed upon them.
and the proposals for bids are concealed
from the view of honest bidders, giving
the favorites of the Post Office Ring
great advantage over all competitors.

Blanton Duncan has presented a claim
against the Government for property
seized during the war. This looks as
though Blanton is going to get his re.
ward now for the part he played in the
late Presidential campaign. This will
account, at least, for his activity in aid
ing the re election of Grant. We shall

will be successful. a

State Board Of Equalization.

This body did not undertake to equal
ize the taxes for the present year, as
taxes were being collected in the various
counties at the time the Board met.
The fact also that the assessment rolls
of only three or four counties gave the
different species of personal property,
rendered such equalization out Of the
question. We understand that the
Board have prepared rules relating to
the duties of Assessors, and likewise
rules for the observance of the county
Boards of Equalization. A new form
of assessment roll has been gotten up,
which will be bound in uniform style
and furnished to each county in tripli-
cate. 1t is thought that the existing
inequality of assessments will not occur
hereafter to any great extent, should
the the Assessors follow the suggestions
and advice given them, and the county
Boards act in accord with the State
Board. The equalization between coun-
ties will be rendered much easier and
less expensive, if the rules and arrange
ments of the Board are carried into
effect. When all property is fairly as
sessed underits appropriate head and
the proper offsets allowed to appear up
on the assessment rolls, there will be
such showing of taxable property as
to occasion reduction in the ratio of
State as well as county tax. Welearn
that the State Board made report to
the Governor of the results Of their de-
| liberations.
