TAXATION.

There is no question that can arise in a
state, which presents so many difficulties
in the way of just, equitable and at the
same time, legal solution, as that of the
valuation of property for the purposes of
taxation, the placing of the same in the
grand list, and the assessment of taxes
thereon 80 that taxes may be equally or,
to use the language of our statutes "uni-
formly assessed" or, still further in the
words of the constitution, "be justly laid
and collected" 1t is, also, doubtless true
that more litigation has grown out of the
valuation of property, and the assessment

In an editorial article on Taxation we
have quoted the language of the statutes,
and the decisions of the supreme courts of
Vermont and Massachusetts,, by which it
will DO seen that the right to tax the real
estate and other property of railroads, in
Vermont, under existing laws, IS qucs-
ton, to say the least, of great doubt. Our
own opinion is that towns would be I'M
wise to attempt such a course this year.
The laws can and ought to be changed
next fall, and then the matter will he free
of difficulties, doubts or litigation.

AMERICANS AND ENGLIsHMEN.
Goodwin smiths speech.

Moncure D. Conway, writing from
London to the Cincinnati Commercial,
says:
The singular address of Professor
Goodwin Smith, which will have been, no
doubt, read in America before this
reaches you, in which he declared that
the English are hated by the Ameri-
cans, has considerably startled the peo-
pie Of this country. Since its delivery
there have been a good many editorials
in the papers and some letters. One of
them was written by P. I. Barnum, who
is shocked at the idea of such unfriendli-
ness, and declares the feeling in America
toward England is one of great cor
diality. The Daily Telegraph demanded
that Professor Tyndall should speak out
his impressions, which he does to-day.
The Professor quotes from the speeches
of Mr.. Evarts and the President of Cor
nell University their warm utterances
concerning this country, just as he
(Tyndall) was leaving, and says:
EITHER they (the Amerieans) do not
hate us, as alleged, or if they do, the
manner in which they suppressed this
feeling, out Of consideration for a guest,
proves them to be the most courteous
of nations"
The assertion of Professor Goodwin
Smith comes from a source and at a
moment which renders it especially un-
pleasant. The Professor has long been
distinguished in this country as cham.
pion of America and of American prin.
ciples. 1t is generally understood that
it was a distinct and deliberate prefer.

rouching Anecdoto Of spider.

"a fine old English gentleman (Mr.
Moggridge), with abundant leisure for
studies in natural history, has written a
very entertaining book on insects, in one
chapter of which las critic asserts) he
" elevates the character of the spider.
1t is pleasant, at any rate, to know that
he has found out enough about the
creature feelings to elevate sciehce in
the direction of mercy. The story is
briefly as follows: Moggridge has been
in the habit of immersing for preserva-
ton his different specimens of spiders
and ants in bottles of alcohol. He saw
that they struggled for a few minutes;
but he thought that sensation was soon
extinguished, and that they were soon
free from suffering On one occasion he
wished to preserve large female spider
and twenty.four of her young ones that
he had captured. He put the mother
into a bottle of alcohol, and saw that
after few moments she folded her legs
upon her body and was arrest. Hethen
put into the bottle the young ones, who,
of course, manifested acute pain. What
was his surprise to see the mother arouse
herself from her lethargy, dart round to
and gather her young ones to her bosom,
fold her arms round them and again re-
lapse into insensibility, until at length
death came to her relief, and the limbs,
no longer controlled by this maternal
instinct, relaxed their grasp and became
dead. The effect of the exhibition upon
him is lesson to our common humanity.
He has applied chloroform before i'm
mersion. Judging from the above, the
spider is superior to the human animal,
in the fact that alcohol does not destroy
her natural affection,

An Elastic ReiIgIonIst.

From the Pall Mall Gagette.J
Since the famous conversion of Henry
". from Professionalism which seated
him firmly on the French throne, there
have probably been no more convenient
changes Of religion than those of Sadyk
Pasha, long a well known General in the
Ottoman service. This officer, who re-
tired from the Sultan's army, has been
lately residing at Kief, in Russia, under
the Cars special pardon for his share
in the Polish rebellion of 1887, when he
was distinguished leader of the insur-
gents, under his proper name of Michael
CzajkowSki. This was a very young man;
and after some years of exile and pen
ury, the expatriated Pole took service
with the Turks, and not only changed
his name but his religion, becoming for
more than twenty years to all outward
appearance a true believer in the faith
of Islam, and bringing up his family in
it as Mahommedans. Thanks partly to
his conversion his son rose to high COM
mand, which he not long since retired
from, to visit Russia, having received
his pardon on due application at
st. Petersburg. But since taking up
his present abode at Kieff he has appa-
rently found either former associations
or present advantages too strong for his
new faith, and, having lately received,
according to the Ostee Zeitung the Off
cial promise of the restoration Of his
former estates on condition of recanta-
ton, he has duly abjured his errors and
returned to his original church, and to
his rank as a Polish landed proprietor
by the self-same act. Unfortunately for
the Pasha's domestic peace, his family
have become, under these changing cir
cumstances, somewhat painfully divided.
One son whom he brought with him to
Russia has followed his fathers example
in joining the Greek Church, and is re-
warded with commission in the Impe-
rial Guard; but the other, who has
served some time in the Turkish army,
declines to quit either it or his religion,
and positively refused the offer of the
Russian authorities to receive him with
the same favor as the rest of his family.
