sources the following figures in rotation to
those Of this city, the grand total Of valuation
reaching . little over q million and 3 half OF
dollars. In laying our city and school. taxes, at
one per cent, the rate OF last year. the taxation
on ohuroh property in Wilmington. exclusive Of
the grave yards attached to them, would amount
to about $4,000
In preparing the valuation We have taken the
Judgment Of those we'll acquainted with the
properties. In The case OF the Methodist
churches, the tgures are mainly taken from the
annual report " the Conference. It is fair to
remember that il church properties were valued
by an Aasessor for taxing purposes. they would
doubtless be assessed at lower figures than are
here given. Their "actuAl cAsh value" would
be . questionable sum, and the total would
probably come Gown to . million Of dollars.

E. Smith, pastor Of Grace NJ. f. Church, died
suddenly near Magnolia, Kent county, Del, on
Monday. Her death occurred at the farm Of
PhiladelphiA doctor, who was formerly Mr..
Smiths family physician. The gentleman Was
himself in poor health and had gone down to
bis farm to recuperate, taking his family with
him. Hence it was that Mrs. Smith came 10 be
absent from her home, she seeming to think
that this physician understood her system better
than any other.
Mrs, Smith has been in poor health
for some time past from what her
physiCian pronounced mAlaris which he
said permszted her whole system. Still
he t.osvvht ho cuu't Tr',s,.- !.s-., Aus. no ar
prehension for her safety seems to have been
entertained up TO her death. Mr.. Smith was in
this city with his family, except . daughter,
who WAS alone with her mother when she died,
but was in almost daily communication. On
Saturday he received letter saying that Mrs.
Smiths condition Was somewhat more favorable.
On Monday 3 telegram announced her desth,
on the O. 80 train.
Mrs. Smith was the daughter OF the late Viii
liam Edmondson Of this city. She was married
probably twenty years ago and. leaves several

The Sun .nd the Weather.

The astronomersI have been noting that the
sun Of lsts has been remarkably free from
spots, and during the period there has been
very warm and Spnng-like weather. About
two weeks ago, however, the sun was found
quite spotted again, and at the same time the
thermometer began to fall. This was the care
not only In this country, but in Europe, and the
Paris correspondent Of the New York Times
writes that the weathev suddenly changed there
to the ooldest. rawest,, and most disaxreeable
weather Of the season. This fact has again
given life to the theory that there is relation
between the sun-spots and the temperature
upon this planet Mr.. Lockyer, the English as
tronomsr, reported, about the first of January,
that he found the sun perfectly free from spots,
and inferred that It might idicats period Of
very mild weather. Tho very same day, Father
Becci made the same observation in Rome.
Neither astronomer asserted that there would
be mild weather on earth because the sun was
spotless, but both inferred that this might be
the case, aud such has been the case in fact.
The difficulty about the theory 10 to Afford an
explanation how the greater heat OF the sun,
presumably indicated by the absence Of the
spots, 10 80 quickly transmitted 70 the atmos-
phere Of the earth. IA. ,

The Republic, the organ Of the Republican
Congressional committee, makes the following
authoritative statement Of the present relations
between the President and Secretary Bristow in
regard to the wliskey trials 1i .
A desperate attempt is being made by the
kings Of tho whiskey ring tn break the force Of
the prosecution against them by publishing
throughout the country base rumors sgainst the
President and Secretary Bristow. Column after
column has been devoted to pure fiction, in the
vain hope that the public would demand immu-
nifty for the revenue thieves while considering
tho charges against their prosecutors. Money
has been freely used TO start oounter-current,
and the ring could supply millions more II suo-
essa we're possible. But every effort to escape
has thus far failed. The hand Of the law has
been laid upon these wrong-doers, and its grasp
will not be released until Justice is satisfied.
The President has SAID, "Let nc guilty man es-
cape" and Secretary Bristow il determined, 30
far ~ human foresight and courage can avail, to
carry ont this order both in spirit and in letter.
The Secretary Of the Treasury need fear moth
ing from his enemies He has already en-
trenched himself in the confidence Of the poo
plo, and they will sustain him in enforcing the
laws, and in prosecuting those who violate them.
The administration Of President Grant will take
no step backward in prosecuting those who have
been dsfrsuding the revenue. It is in downright
earnest, and will punish the guilty whenever
they are discovered, or whoever they may be.
