OUR STATE TAXATION.

We publish elsewhere table showing the
value of all property, real and personal, in
the State of Minnesota, and each of the
counties thereof, together with the amount
and rate of taxation for the year 1878. The
table will be of great value to every property
owner, for it is suggestive not only of our
progress in wealth, but of the manner in
which our public officers have discharged
their duties-whether with a view to the
greatest economy or with lavish and extrav-
agant hand. It will be seen that among the
older counties the rate of taxation in RAMSEY
county is the lowest, although some of the
new and unorganized counties can show a
somewhat lower rate. The range is wide,
being from five mills in Beltrami county
(unorganizedD to thirty-fve mills in Grow
Wing county. From the table we compile
the following salient facts, which will be of
general interest to the people throughout the
State.

his regiment. The description on enlist
ment paper exactly corresponded with the
prisoner.
Subsequently writ of habeas corpus was
served for the production of Gottlieb Eman-
uel Kimmerle before the United States cir
cult court, Judge Blatchford. On the hear
ing the foregoing facts were proven by Mr..
Gardner. On the other side, Kimmerle him
self swore he had never been in the army,
and that his name was not Charles, but as
given in the writ. He admitted that he had
never protested or corrected his name, al
though afforded abundant opportunities SO
to do. Five OF six witnesses, in order to
prove an alibi, swore he was not out of New
York or from home in 1871, at the times he
was claimed to have enlisted.
On the 9th December, Judge Blatchford
rendered the decision, that ION all the eyi-
dence in this case he was of opinion that the
prisoner did enlist and desert as alleged, and
that he is not entitled to his discharge on
the writ of habeas corpus
By statute these writs are necessarily of
summary character, affording but little time
to secure proper evidence. If command
ing officer can show sufficient probable cause
to induce belief that the prisoner is guilty
of the crime of desertion, the writ should
be dismissed, as the province of that great
safeguard is net to try cause upon Its mer-
its to ascertain whether or not the prisoner
is really guilty.
When, however, the question of identity
of the party is raised, there is greater diff

The London Telegraph tells this story;
Sydney Smith once remarked OF an
inordinately stout lady whose dimensions
were being somewhat humorously COM
mented upon in his presence, that were
she to rise in revolt against the consti-
tuted authorities, it would be necessary
to read the riot act and disperse her! We
wonder to what extravaganza OF comlcal
speculation the witty canon would have
been stimulated had he lived to take
cognizance of young person OF Russian
birth who is about to visit Central and
Western Europe for the purpose of turn
ing her extraordinary corpulence to
profitable account, and whose fatty fame
has gone before her, preparing the public
mind for a surprise upon a scale of
unprecedented magnitude. AT present
this adipose phenomenon resides at the
lowly village of Bolschin-Grodni in the
Government of Tula. She is but ten
years old and weighs four hundred and
eighteen pounds.
A damsel who, within a decade, has at
tanned a weight of nearly thirty stone, is
indeed marvel hitherto unreeorded in
the annals of physiology. When size
shall set forth upon her travels, which she
is about to do under the guardianship OF
an eminent Snowman. she will be com
PEELED to take her place in the luggage

rage at present in existence is wide
enough to admit of her passage through
it. A subtle provision of her ponderous
peculiarities would seem to have inspired
her godfathers and godmothers at her
baptism, when they gave her the singu-
larly apt name under which she will
make her appearance before admiring
throngs. She was christened Fatinitza

Probably no one. Doubtless we have all
suffered to some extent the disagreeable
sensations which disordered or languid
liver can infict. Sallowness of the skin
constipation, nausea, vertigo, soreness in
the vicinity of the organ affected a sensa-
ton as of congestion in the head, positive
headache, loss of appetite, extreme thirst,
high color of the urine, are among the
symptoms which announce perversion or
vitiaton of the bile. The remedy Of RENE
dies for the above is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, administered by medical men; pro-
nounced pure and wholesome by them,
and popular as comprehensive family
medicine, and as a specific preventive and
remedy for chills and fever and bilious re-
mittents throughout America and to a
wide extent in foreign countries. Disor-
ders in the stomach and bowels as well as
liver, are speedily remediable with this
poplar and time honored medicine.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
An Instrument with Which the
Deaf Can kaear with Their
Teeth.
New York Start

The deaf can hear by means of their
teeth! The audiphone, an instrument
invented by a Western Yankee for ale
Waiting the misery of deafness, is simply
a sheet of vulcanized rubber, about %
of an inch in thickness set firmly in a
handle of the same material. In the
upper rim of this sheet are pierced some
holes through which passes sllken cord.
This goes down on the inner side of the
sheet, to the handle, through slot in
which it passed.
BY Pulling the cord the sheet is bent
over any angle which the user may de-
sire. Each person has to ascertain for
himself what kind Of a curve OF the rub
Der sheet will enable him to hear best.
Generally it is very slight only about
ten or twelve degrees, thong apparently
the deafer the person the greater the
curve must be. When used, the person
holding it simply touches the upper edge
of the fan, or audiphone, against his
teeth of the upper jaw. The voice of the
speaker strikes upon this tense sheet OF
rubber, and communicate to il vibrations
which IN turn are impaired 10 lhe TEEN,
and tnen pass to the auditory nerve.
With this operation the outer ear has
nothing whatever to do; the delicate ma
chinery through which sound passing
without makes an impression upon the
auditory nerve is not used at all. The
outer ear may be stopped up entirely, so
far as it is possible to do it, and yet one
hears distinctly the moment the audi
phone is applied to the teeth. 1t is nee
essary to use the teeth Of the upper jaw
for the reason that they are more nearly
in contact with the auditory nerve;
nor does it make much diff
ference whether the teeth be ones own
or artificial, 50 long as those artificial
teeth are tightly fitted; for when that is
the case the vibration is impaired about
as well as when they are natural teeth.
The inventor is deaf himself. He hap
pened one day to hold q watch between
his teeth and noticed that he could dis
tinctly hear its ticking, though when he
held It to his ear no sound was audible
This set him to thinking that possibly he
might be able to invent some device by
which the sounds of human voice could
be transmitted 10 the auditory nerve
through the medium Of a tube.

Western show, we are not prepared to SIT
in judgment upon its merits but there is
every reason to believe that it is in all
respects splendid affair, and, as such,
it goes to prove how much can be accom-
plished when people are in live earnest.
In the Exposition there is a very sig
nifcanU lessen for our manufacturers and
mechanics, and for business men gener-
ally. 1t teaches that unless Philadelphia
is prepared to lose her long-maintained
reputation of being the greatest manu-
featuring city in America, she must
awaken to the full sense of the dangers
that menace that reputation. The young
giant cities of the West and Northwest
are up and doing all the time. They
leave no stone mturned that will serve
to give additional impetus to their grow
ing prosperity, and they rightly argue
that the most effectual method of ac-
complishing this is to give all possible
encouragement to industrial art
Hence their splendid exposltions, and
the liberality with which they are sup
ported. Philadelphia should not follow
but lead in matters of that kind, and the
sooner she takes her position and de-
termines to maintain it at whatever cost,
the better it will be for general business
interests.

The unhappiest man in Birmingham a
fortnight ago was F. Underwood, a coal
merchant. He quarreled with James
Palmer, lost his temper and sacrificed his
dignity. Palmer had him arrested for
using vituperate language, and not satis-
fled with gaining his action in court by
the help of witnesses who knew nothing
at all about the matter, told him that he
would be the death of him, that he would
smash him, and that he would put doc
ument in the paper that would ruin him.
This threat was executed in a n3vel way.
He inserted in city journal an adver-
tisement asking ''donkeys for a picnic
party" telling all whom it might con-
Germ to "apply with donkeys," at the adj
dress Mrs. Underwood. The result was
that Mrs. Underwood was besiegcd with
donkeys. 1t was intolcrable; life was not
worth having with whole herd Of don
keys braying around her door. The
magistrate, however, declined to interfere
between Underwood and the donkeys,
but advised him to take summons out
against Palmer for the threats that he al
legged were uttered.

Donna Christina at Church.

King Alfonso and his next bride are
about of the same age. He was born on
the 18th of November, 1857, and she in
July, 1858. A correspondent of the
London News who saw her at Arcachon
near Bordeaux, France, where the court
ship took place, writes: "The Arch.
duchess Maria Christina came to mass as
she is wont to do every day. She was
simply dressed, and looked very pretty
modest and graceful as she knelt near the
altar. She hardly seemed to know that
she was the center of attention, and the
church was crowded with the elite o1
Bordeaux plutocracy in brilliant toilets
Not few Spaniards were present, and
they showed even more curiosity to gaze
on their future queen. They had come
from Biarritz, Juan de Luz, Hendaye
and even from over the frontier to SCI
Donna Christina de Hapsburg, as they al
ready call her. She is above middle
stature, very slender, and her carriage il
what lady critics call distinque. He
face is open and her eyes are pensive anC
earnest; herhair and complexion are fair
and she looks more like German maideI
than her portraits led people to think il

The suggestion of the Virginian has
met with great favor, and the press of
the country has warmly seconded it, and
now the gallant people of York County
have taken in hand the celebration of
the battle of Yorktown, with an earnest
determination to make it worthy of that
great event, and have made the necessary
arrangements for preliminary celebra-
ton there next month. As the 18th of
October comes on Sunday this year, the
ceremonies will be held on Monday, the
20th. The plan proposes gathering on
that day at Yorktown of the various
State and municipal authorities, the mill
tary companies and civic organizations of
Virginia and all organizations from other
States that may desire to be present. The
President and his Cabinet, the Governor
of Virginia and the Governors of the
various States are specially invited to
attend The Secretary Of Warts requested
to authorize General Getty, with his vet
enan troops of Fortress Monroe, to repre-
sent the army of the United States, and

review and inspection, to visit Yorktown
and add the eclat of its presence to the
occasion.

The Fig.
TThe Athen9um.

Few plants throw greater light on the
early migrations of mankind than the fig.
Hanbury, the most accurate Of writers Oh
the history OF plants, falls into the start
ling error Of stating that "the fig was not
known in Greece and the Archipelago
and the neighboring coasts Of Asia Minor
during the Homeric age, though it was
very common in latter times" the fact
being that both the wild fig, erineos, the
great wild tig-tree near the sources OF the
Scamandar. and the cultivated, sukee,
are mentioned by Homer. But the fig is
a native of Kaghan and the valleys about
Kandahar, and probably spread westward
aud south-westward with the earliest mi
gratons of mankind along the southern
slopes of the Hindu Kush and Caucasus
into all the countries of the Mediterra
mean. The story of Adam and Eve wa'
probably carried along with it into As
syria.

Tnmbiing Down the stones.
TChamher's Iournal I

Jean Jacques, when he was in the
country, would carry huge stones-as big
as he could carry-up to some high cliff,
and there he would dispose them in
pile. Then laying himself securely upon
the cliff, he cautiously advanced his face
until he could see clearly the foaming
waters below; and one after the other
the stones were hurled over the declivity
by the philosopher, who watched with
delight the heavy mass as it rolled and
bounded before it reached the bottom.

horseback following their pony-chaise.
These fnanciers do not know how to do
sufficient honor to their bank notes.
Their Wallets bloom in breeches, they eat
off silver plate, and the dinner consists of
several services exactly as in Paris. The
rusticity of the country, the free-aad-
easy life it invites one to, are severely
banished. The ladies like to talk the
latest slang of the boulevard, and the
repertory of the cafes concerts is very
much in vogue among them.
