The Land of Summer.

He who has seen the bird Of pas
sage only IN comparatively south
ern latitude can form no idea of the
wildness of rapture with which 1t
halls its return TO that lar land where
the blooming meadow and the eter-
nal glacier lie basking together in
the wealth of the summer day. and
where the frost breathes its fairy life
under the burning dream Of the mid
night sun. To the minds Of many
the name OF Norway suggests i PIC
ture of winter-clothed pines and far
reaching showfelds; with little or no
relief from the influences Of the gen
tier seasons; and still, strange as the
assertion may sound. Norway is pc
culiarly the Land Of Summer" "
There is no doubt that the birds at
least think so, and their testimony is
likely to be trustworthy. And be
who stands in the glory Of the morn
ing in the heart Of one Of the bloom
ing ford valleys, hears the thousand
voiced chorus Of the valleys winged
songsters yelling down over him
from the birth glen overhead. secs
the swift, endless co!or-play Of the
sun-smittrn glaciers, the calm, lucid
depths Of the air-clcar ford. and the

eye TO unite in the song Of the thrush

ways summer. 1t is not heat that
makes summer; its life is of far
subtier and more ethereal cssoncc.
Who knows but the glacier itself
may do its share toward inten~irying
this life, or at least our own perccp-
ton Of it, For the white, snow,
peaked background, with its remote
breath Of winter grazing the horison
of the mind, sets summer off into
stronger and bolder relief.

The Assessment of 1874.

The impression on the public made by
reading the late Tax Act, in which the pow.
crs of the Board of Equalization are defined
is, that said Board can't reduce the aggrc-
the County below the aggregate value ,hcrc-
of as returned by the County Auditor, with
additions made thereto by said Auditor.
This is n mistake. Tho bill originated in the
Senate, and on Its passage the Sd paragraph
OF section 6, was stricken out. The Board
of Equalization will be governed by para
prNphs and OF section 6, of the Act
which reads as follows:
lst. They shall raise the valuation Of

The ST geographic Copy.

graphic copy Of Coy. Moscs's speech which
they have in their possession. No doubt Of
it. Why did they not publish it? Do they
intend TO sell thatto the Chamberlain inter-

We know there was two versions of that
