BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

Synopsis of the York of the County Com
mtssioners Yesterday Morning.
The board of equalization of Hennep;n
county was in session yesterday morning,
and attended to business Just as though
warm weather was never known.
They opened by adopting the following
resolutions:
Resolyed, That committee of three be APP
pointed by the chair, whose duty it shall be to
receive all applications for reduction of
valuation, examine the same and report
to the board in writing. properly Endorsed, on
each application.
Resolved. That all applications for reduction
| of valuation, either Of real or personal proper
ty, shall be reduced to writing by the appli-
cant, properly verified, before they will be en-
tertained by this board.
Then, OH motion of Mr.. Palmer, the fol-
lowing resolutions we're adopted:
WHEREAS The county commissioners and
auditor of Hennepin county now sitting a
board Of equalization are ready to hear the
applications of all persons who are aggrieved at
their assessments for the ensuing year; and
WHEREAS, Said board Of equalization will re-
main in session to equalize the property OF said
county for taxation, and to act upon all appli-
cations in relation thereto during the time pre-
scribcd by law; now, therefore.
ReS0lUei, That all parties who have COM
plants to make in regard to their property
valuation or taxes, required to make such
applications in writing, properly verified, to
said board of equalization, before their final
adjournment: and also,
ReSOlred, That county commissioners we
shall refuse to ma he any change whatever in
said valuations, or to abate or refund any costs,
penalties and interest, but will refer al such
persons to the proper court OF law to obtain
such relief as such court may think proper.
The board proposes to stand by the decla-
rations set forth in these last resolutions, so
if any complaints are to be made they must
be forthcoming prior to the adjournment on
the 10th of August.
The new tax law renders this action i'm
perative, as the privilege to abate and remit
taxes, penalties and interest is very greatly
abridged. In refusing to made attachments
on every frivolous pretense, the commission
| ers will receive the endorsement of the entire
body of taxpayers in the county, with few
exceptions, as it will no longer put pre-
| MUM upon delinquencies in this direction
! Heretofore any person whose taxes had
accumulated for number of years could &C
| before the board and with the least shadow
| of reason receive a rebate that would give
| such person a material advantage over Xhe
| prompt payers. That sort of business has
| had tendency to demorallze tax-paying
putting premium, as 1t did, upon negli
gence in this matter.
Some changes will be made in the assess
| ments of the several towns.

THE LITTLE G1ANr AT oBERL1N.

Hoe Badly He TAINTED Drink or a
Smoke.
One evening in the spring of 1861, Stephen
A. Douglas spoke in Cleveland. For several
hours thereafter he received the congratula-
tons of his friends in a con.'ivial way, and
it was late when he retired. He was called
at an early haur to take the morning train
on the Lake Shore road for Chicago. When
the train arrived at Oberlin, some thirty
miles west of Cleveland, a crowd Of several
hundred students and citizens had assembled
to catch a glimpse of the famous Illinoisan
if possible. The train was searched hurriedly
during the two OF three minutes of its stay,
but no Douglas could be found. A student
who had strolled to the rear of the train was
hastily beckoned to approach by a stout
little man who stood on the rear platform of
the sleeper almost hidden from sight by
linen buster.
"Young man, is there a saloon near here
where can get drink?' inquired the man
in the buster.
s'There is not a saloon in town where
! liquor is sold. SIR was the reply.
ga glass of ale will do; where can / get
that?''
"In Grafton, eight miles back"
"The devil! Well, tell me where can
find cigar"
''They are not allowed to be either sold or
smoked in town.
"What sort of id town is this!"
"It's Oberlin."
'sThe HI it is! l might have known
that without asking, thou h.
And the little man scowled and looked so
disappointed that the student, looking
around carefully to see if he was unob-
served, jumped upon the platform, extracted
one of "Wack's stogies'' from a secret peck
ct, and handed it to the stranger. receiving
cordial thanks for this little act of kind
ness.
s'May you never want drink or cigar
as bad as do now," said the stranger, as he
| lighted the weed and the train began to pull
out from the station.
''There he is.'' Chats him. '.Three
cheers for the Little Giant, yelled several
in the crowd, as the stocky form of the man
in the buster was revealed to them.
Instantly proud smile illuminated the
hitherto haggard face of the stranger; he
removed the Lighted cigar from his mouth
and lifting his hat, gracefully acknowledged
the recognition and the compliment. He
was Stephen A. Douglas.

The Bishop "Enposc."

To the Editor of the Globe.
I notice what you say in regard to the
Bishops, and SO far as | am able to find out,
think the community agree with you, that
they are transparent frauds.
Their tricks remind me of boys building
up cob houses to show their smartness in
trolling all the conditions, and then have
the sublime affrontery to assert that all
others do the same-right in the face of the
fact, patent to all reading and investigating
men, that not only in the long and crucial
Investigations of Professor Crooks and AL
fred r. Wallace, F. r. S., and others of the
most eminent British scientists, but also be-
fore hundreds of the first men in this coun-
try in critical scientific research, were alb
solutely all the conditions in the hands of
the investigators.
It is quite too late in the day for the
Bishops, or any other tricksters to poo hoo
down the Spiritualistic phenomena. A set
tied conviction of the truth of the philoso-
pher controls one-third of the American
people to-day, and if the Young Mems
Christian association have undertaken it's
extinction, the have big job before them,
and will have to employ very different
agencies than the Bishops, to accomplish
their purpose.
And could they effect its overthrow what
would they behold but the complete destruc-
ton of the Ecclesiasticism known as the
Christian system of to-day, for primitive
Christianity and modern spiritualism being
identical in its phenomena, at least it follows
that Christians should be the first to defend
it.
But as it the spiritual philosophy sees
in Ecclesiasticism what Christ saw in his
day, the greatest impeachment to human
progress, it aims, as he did, to liberate hu-
manity by breaking its power, and hence ii
snarls on spiritualists as it did on Christ. II
the nominal Christians of to-day were max
ing half the effort to expose the frauds
amongst them that the spiritualists are to
expose fraudulent mediums, the cause OF
truth would ''rise and be gloriied' more.
