Taxation.

AS there has been a. good deal o.
complaint of late, Uf what is termed
high taxes 10y which udium is sattemptru
to be cast OH the present Denlncra'Ic
administration, we desire to give to Out
readers the following incident as ILL
illustration A merchant 0t this parlsi,
who paid his taxes t!lls week, cuni-
piaiued to yonr reporter of tile very
extraordinary SUM which he had to pa.
tO-wit: One hundred and seveltren u
dollars State and parish, which placed
dis assessment somewhere in the neigh
burlio0d ot six thousand dollars. Now
facts are about as follows: In 1870 he
purchased II business site for $4,000, he
impUsetl it to the extent of $1,000 more;
he has lately built dwelling house
which he says cost him $500; he has
also purchased piece of real estate
adjoining for the sum OF 5000 and inn
proved it at ;tn expense of about $40O
more, making altogether $9500 worth
OF real property. Lin addition to this
he carries u stock of the average value
of ten thousand dollars (li,st winter he
placed it at $2O00O.) 1t may be an
swered that the value of the real prop
erty has aepr ciated: we have reason
To know that he would not To-day take
$4,000 tur9it, SO that uli All actual salua-
tisa ut Si9500, he pays sir taxes, State
and parish ar less than s,ne per cent.
Now the law requires the assessor, Il
sworn officer, to assess property at its
actual cash valuation; we believe our
assessor who is II man of tried integrity,
To have conscientiously performed his
duty. and ii he has erred, it has been
an the side of the tax payer in almost
every instance. During the Radical
regime, assessments weieslaw in many
parisies of the State. h,lt much of the
sia,iley collected never saw its way into
the treasury, hence it was all clear gain.
sss has been verified by the numerous
defalcatinns of Radical tax g:,tlcrers;
during the two years of Democraric
rule, We have yet to hear of the first
Issausting tax collector.

A Doc MAKES THE ACQUAINTANCE
OF A BEE.-A grocer on Car street yes
terday placed on the sidewalk in front
of his store Il sugar l,ogsl,pad, which he
had Just euptied. The adlering sweets
attracted myriads of flies and few
honey bees. which seemed to think
they had found bonanza. A vaga-
bond looking dog was lying down in
the shade of the sugar hOgshead, and
was pesterel much by the flies, which
found the dogs nose a good place to
rnGst after they had filled themselves
with sugar. After the dog had wearied
himself out by his Intellectual snaps at
the flies, he buried his nose between
his paws and took the annoyance plilo-
sopiically. At length i, i,ee came hum
ming around him, and being bigger
game, the dog concluded to go for it,
and watching his opportunity snapped
Mt it and caught it in his mouth. Then
he made a sudden spl:fng to his feet as
if he had just thought of something
that he had to do in hurry, and the hair
over him raised on end as if he had
been electrified. Then he pranced
araunl for Il moment shaking his head
franticatiy as if be- were. worrying II
rat. A little black object tlronped typn

iy for q brief instant, and then started
