TABLE TALK.-A great deal Of charac-
ter is impaired and received at table.
Parents too often forget this; and, there
fore, instead of swallowing your food in
sullen silence: instead of brooding over
your business, instead of severely talking
about others, let the conversation at the
table be genial, kind, sociable and cheer
ing Do not bring disagreeable things to
the table in your conversation any more
than in dishes. For this reason, too, the
more good company you have at your
table, the better for your children. Every
conversation with company at your table
is an educator of the family.

Silent Men.

Washington never made speech. In
the zenith of his fame he once attempted
it, failed and gave it up confused and a
Dashed. In framing the Constitution of
the United States. the labor was almost
wholly performed in the committee of the
whole, of which George Washington was
chairman; but he made two speeches dur
ing the convention of very few words
each. The convention, however, acknow-
ledge the master spirit, and historians
affirm that had it not been for his personal
popularity, and the thirty cords of his first
speech, pronouncing it the best that could
be united upon, the Constitution would
have been rejected by the people. Thomas
Jefferson never made speech. He couldn't
do it. Napoleon, whose executive ability
is almost without parallel, said that his
greatest difficulty was in finding men Of
deeds rather than words. When asked
how he maintained his influence over his
superiors in age and experience when
commander-in-chiefo Of an army in Italy,
he said, by reserve. The greatness Of =
man is not measured by the length of his
speeches and their number.

For the edifcation of our lawmakers
the yicksburg Herald publishes the TO
lowing report of proceedings in'the 1ndi
ana Legislature -
"The House Bill No. 3, with the
amendments by the Senate, was taken up,
and after brief discussion, passed. The
real estate assessment under this bill will
be made this spring, and every fve years
hereafter. 1t makes the pay of assessors
oraly TWO DOLLARS PER DIEM, and they
are to be elected by the people"
The Herald says:
If it should occupy every day in the
year to complete the assessment OF real
estate in any county of Indiana, and it
can be completed in ninety days, the
cost to the county for fve years would
only be seven hundred and thirty dol
lars, or one hundred and forty-sia dollars
per dnnlt2n!
The Auditor'of Public Accounts has
already notified the legislature that under
the existing law the cost of assessing the
present year will amount to s119, 000
And yet that body has taken no steps to
.emedy the abuse. Why not re-adopt
he old system paying salary for the
assessor in each county, according to the
abor imposed-say from 50 90 to So 90
Der diem.

Among the measures of interest, this
body has adopted Reports embodying Pc
titions to Congress for aid in the construc-
ton of the Texas Pacific Railroad and
the removal of Instructions to navigation
at the mouth of the Mississippi. Both
these works are national and are entitled
to the consideration of the body which
represents the great productive interests
of the country. Cheaper transportation
and increased facilities from the Missis-
slppi valley to the Gulf, and from Ocean
to Ocean, are great commercial necessi-
ties.
