Basis of Taxation in Maryland.

The reports of the clerks of the various
boards of county commissioners in Maryland
having been received at the comptroler's of
fee, at Annapolis, the comptroller has made
up the assessment list Of 1878. The total ba-
sis of assessment is Si4,O42, 23S less than
1877, and therefore accounts in a measure for
increased taxation. Below is given the as
sessed values by counties and the city of Bal

The native servant Of an English off.
Ger hired q boat to transport his master
some 200 miles on the Blue Nile for
twenty. Eve Turkish dollars. The Arme-
Man owner Of the boat was called before
The Pasha to ratify the bargain, Seeing
that it was q European who wanted
transportation he declared could not
let the boat at such a low sum. The
captain was sent for and confronted
with the servant.
Catching the owners eye, the captain
looked at the servant with surprise.
Lifting up bis hands and eyes to heaven,
he exclaimed:

bursting into a hearty laugh, asked:
