The following notice of the principals OF
the Juvenile Pinafore company is taken from
the Boston Advertiser "Willie Lee, the
Rackstraw, has wonderful voice, and he
sings the difficult music in the most eflec-
tive manner. He is from New York. but Is
for the present settled in Boston, and it is
quite possible that he may make Boston his
future home. Master Lodge, the Dick Dead
eye, plays that difficult character with great
deal of skill. He has strong dramatic IN
cination, and says he has always determined
to go upon the stage, but never expected such
an opening would be made for him. He is
ambitious and painstaking. and means to
make the most of the present opportunity.
Miss Ida de Mule, the Josephine, is pupil
of Mrs. Ii. +. Bates of Charlestown, and she
does her teacher great credit. Although she
is mezzo-soprano, she sings the music OF
Josephine in a finished and perfect manner
The Buttercup, mite of humanity, is Little
Corinne Kimball, a daughter of Jennie Kim
ball, an actress. She is simply wonderful,
and is the star of the piece. Fancy SIX
year-old girl singing all the music and doing
all the stage business of the character with
the address of an experienced woman! She's
a quaint little body, and goes about behind
the scenes clinging to her mothers hand, and
listening with the funniest air Of gravity to
the compliments paid her, and receives with
matter fact air the admiration offered her,
for she knows that it is hers by right. She is
of truth the Queen of the players.

Bayard TAYLOR.

The Union and american has an inter-
csting notice of Bayard Taylor, whose un-
timely death, at the age of ffty-three,
has been announced.
Mr.. Taylor WAS born on January II,
1922, in kennetL Square, Chester county,
Pa. EIc became an apprentice in prin-
ting Office in 1912, and with the travel
ers instinct developed, started in lS44 on
Il pedestrian tour through Europe. This
was the commencement of Il career as q
traveller which has made one of the most
useful meu in the world as well as one Of
the greatest travellers. His literary fe-
cundity has been amazing. 1t may in
deed be said that he has made the En-
glsh reading people familiar with all
parts of the world. From the Nile to the
lar Lapland, from Japan to Mexico, he
traversed tropical plains and deserts and
the frozen plains of the North. His dcs-
cription were equally graphic sketches in
deliueating the customs of the East, or
describing the dwellers of the far North
and bis journeying overthe lirhcn- covered
plains behind the reindeers of Lapland1
or in India, China and Japan, or in Rus
sia or Greece. The charm ofhis writings
is simple, narrative style and graphic
description of men and things, customs
and manners, minute details, which fall
short of tedium and yet are sufficiently
minute to show the people as they are.
Mr.. Taylor was not profound social phi
lt>pher, nor an ethnologist, nor an arch
aeologist He found Il sufficient field in
furnishing the public with 4 photograph
of society as lie saw it, leaving other
fields to specialists. He has published
about dozen works of travels, some
dozen volumes of poems and poetry, four
or five novels, besides several tranSations,
and was engaged at the time of his death
upon life of Goethe and Schiller,
which was to have been his masterpiece.
Mr.. Taylor's great work was his trans
lation of Goethe's masterpiece, "Faust."
In this work he displayed q thorough
sympathy with his author, and an under.
standing of that profouudest work of
poets, which he has admirably reproduc-
ed in his translation. The mere tyro
who carefully compares the translation
with the original will perceive the thor
ough knowledge OF the German language
and its nice shades, the intimate acquain-
tance and reproduction of the original
metres in that wonderfully diversified
production, and the vast labor which
must have been expended. If Mr.. Tay-
lor had done nothiug but make Faust in
telligible to English students and schol-
ars, lie would deserve the gratitude of
this country. While this is true, and he
has followed his author with marvellous
literaness and fidelity, one may even yet
wish that Coleridge could dalso have trans
lated Faust.
Mr.. Taylor was essentially popular
writer, of great fecundity and wonderful
industry. He was properly, what he was
in fact, the greatest of travelling cores
pondents, for most of his works appeared
in newspapers before publication in
books. As a poet he has never touched
the popular heart, and perhaps his
translation of Faust is his most enduring
work, unless he left his biography Of
Goethe in shape for publication.

upon the subject. That raising the as
sessment of Il whole County in gross by
q mere dash of the pen must necessarily
be arbitrary and unequal, as the lands OF
some taxpayers arc put down at their
true value, and raising their assessment
by counties in gross applies to those
whose lands are assessed at their true
value rs well Us those whose lands are
not so assessed.
From these aud other considerations,
your Committee are of the opinion that
the valuation of the lands Of the differ
ent counties of the State as now fixed by
the State Board of Equalization is not
equal and just and needs correction; but
they are also of opinion that it is i'm
practicable for this Legislature to correct
the same. TO make the correction as it
ought to be done would require the tax
ing of much testimony and much more
time than we have at our disposal. The
duties of this body are Legislative, and to
sit here as supervising Board of Equal
ization for the whole State would result
in the necessary neglect of proper legis'
latiou, and would be q violation of our
duty. Your Committee, however, would
recommend that this Legislature provide
for re-assessment Of all real estate, TO
be taken in the year 1879, and that the
law for making the assessment be so
amended US to secure true, just and
equal assessment in accordance with the
Constitution.
The last general assessment was made
in 1874, and the year 1879 is the proper
year, under the Constitution, for re-
assessment.
Your Committee think that it is ne
cessity for this Legislature 10 take, as a
whoie, the assessments as made by the
counties or as raised by the State Board
of Equalization. They cannot but sup
pose the former more nesr the true value,
and therefore they recommend the adop-
ton of the following resolutions:
Resolred, That the General Assembly,
at its present session, shall provide by
law for q general re-assessment OF all
lands and the improvements thereon in
this State, to be made in obedience to the
Constitution, in the year one thousand
eight hundred and seventy ilS19.)
Rcsolced by the House OF Representa-
tives, the Senate concurring, That the
recent valuation and assessment of the
real estate of the different counties OF
this State, made and reported by the
Auditors and Boards of Equalization of
the different counties under the Act of
March %, 1878, shall stand as the legal
valuation and assessment of said counties,
respectively, for the collection of taxes
until the next general assessment, and
that the Comptroller General conform
his books to this resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
S. MCGOWAN, Chairman.

A Strange Case.

The Deadwood Pioneer relates a
most strange circumstance. 1t says:
Yesterday morning while workmen
were clearing out the rubbish in the
rear of Maillard's saloon, they uncover
ed shapeless mass of flesh, which on
closer examination, proved to be the
trunk of a human body. The limbs
and head were completely burnt off.
The body is supposed to be that of
"Casino Jack, y deaf gambler who oc-
cupied room IN stones lodging house
and as he has not been seen since the
fire, and was known to be in his room
when the building was burning. The
remains were removed to Smiths un-
dertaking rooms in South Deadwood,
and the coroner notified. Nearly all OF
the physicians viewed the remains and
every one seemed to have different
opinion as to what they were. Some
were quite positive that it was dog Oh
some other animal, while another was
equally certain that it was man. The
coroner's inquest, which will take place
to-day, will perhaps solve the mystery
as to who, or what the body is.
