Sudden Death.

Last Friday evening DR.. Anderson
drove down from Gold Hill, accom-
panied by his wife, to visit some pa
tients. Being called into the house
of =. s. Williams, on Third street.. in
this city, Mrs. Anderson remained in
the buggy. A few minutes after she
was taken with commissions and was
carried into the house, where the
commissions continued at intervals
until 4 o'clock the next morning,
when she died. During the night
she was delivered of q prematurely-
born child. Mrs. Anderson was Il
daughter of Mr.. Reed, of Knights
Landing, Yolo county, CAL, and her
body was taken there for burial.

PERJURY.
A Well.KnOwn Millman Accused Of
That Crime.


J. Kallmes, of this city, was ar
rested yesterday on a warrant charg-
ing him with perjury. He was taken
to Dayton by Deputy Sheriff Motley,
and was to have a preliminary exam
ination last evening, before Justice
Hawkins. The facts of the case are
not autlloritatively known rs yet, but
it is stated that the charge is based
upon testimony rendered by Mr.
Kallmes in the recent suit instituted
by him against Sheriff Cooke, in the
Third Judicial District.
Before leaving for Dayton, Mr.
Kallmes called at the TINES office
and urgently requested that no men,
ton be made OF the matter, for sew
eral reasons, too lengthy to state.
We refused to comply with his re-
quest. Had the TIMES neglected to
publish it, the item would infallibly
have appeared in the Storey county
papers. But while we cannot sup.
press the item, we are willing to give
Mr.. Kallmes chance to vindicate
himself before the community, and
for that purpose tender him the use
of our columns.-ED. TIMES.

An Unexpected Visitor.

Sheriff Cooke was agreeably sur.

X. The latter was on his way to
Sacramento, to represent Modoc
county in the Legislature, and came
through this way in order to visit his
brother, whom he had not seen for
ten years. The brothers crossed the
plains together about twenty-five
ago. Hon. John X. Cooke left for
Sacramento last Monday evening.

Why Women Marry.
Ianity Fair (London), in recent is,

Vanity Fair (London), in a recent is,
sue, says; 3, p la .ess Fs Er =
The question which we. considered
last week, "Why Men Marry" IS an
interesting one; but it must be BRO
nounced inferior IN interest to the cues
ton, "Why Women Marry" in the de-
gree in which men are in all respects
less interesting than women. The will
lingness ofWomen to marry is greater
and more patent than that Of m en-; and
we will add that it is a great deal more
wonderful. That WON en- have, to use a
colloqual phrase, the worst of it all
through life, we entertain no doubt, and
that the matrimonial state, as unGer-
stood by experience, has as rule, few
er attractions for them than for men,
we also believe to be true. Yet, while
there are many men who from choice
abstain from marrying, and still more
who put off marrying till the last pr&c-
tlcable moment, we doubt if there are
any women worth mentioning who re-
fuse the married state from option and
elaboration, and not many who post
pone marrying till late period of life
from general repugnance to having q
husband. That women refuse individ-
ual men, and sometimes go on refusing
man alter man, is true enough; but
then their objection is to the man, and
not to the condition of life which the
man proposes; or, not untreGuently,
their refusal arises from mere skittish-
ness, from feeling they may do better,
or from cheerful conviction that there
IS plenty of time to "think about it."
AS a rule, however, women who nave
the chance of marrying, marry, and
they would marry yet more promptly
than they dc were it not that they are
frequently held back from taking a
foolish step by wise parents Or dlssuad-
ing trends. Howis this apparent paradox
to be explained? There is less to III
duce woman to marry than to induce
men; yet some hesitate to marry and
women jump at marriage. Some will
answer that man is q rational and wo-
man an irrational animal; but over and
above the distinction being too uncom-
phme ntary to be true, it is one Of those
plausible explanations that explain
nothing. Again, it is sometimes af-
firmed that, IN marrying, men sacrifice
liberty, whereas women, in marrying,
acquire it. But this is an epigram
easily disposed Of. When men sacrifice
what is called their liberty by marrying,
they are already tired of their liberty,
or that particular form Of it which
bachelorhood enjoys; and were the
point thoroughly examined, we suspect
it would be found that they abandon a
form of liberty ofwhich they are weary
for another form they have not yet pos
sessed

These statistics, incomplete as they are, fully
justify all that has been said or claimed for our
far most impor ant industry of the state and indi-
cate that the money appropriated to the state and
county agricultural societieS, which have done so
much to foster and develop agriculture
sources, has served a beneficial purpose. see no
good reason why the usual appropriation to the
state society should not be made permanent.

Although the limits to which l have deemed it

forbear to congratulate you that the United States
has resumed its normal relations to its own citi-
all its matured obligations in money current
wherever civilization extends; that this has been
accomplished without any unnatural contraction
of the currency, or violent shock to the business
interests of the people; that under the healthy
stimulus of assured stability in this respect trade
and commerce are reviving, with exports largely
anticipate from this time forward. a Substantlals
healthy and remunerative development of all
branches of business,
also congratulate you, that there is q gro wing
public sentiment which demands that suffrage
shall be actually as we'll as nominally free, IN

The Weather for 1879.

Richard Mansill's Almanac of Plane
tarv Meteorology," for 1879, has the fol-
lowing: If the positions of the planets
affect the temperature Of our earth's
atmosphere during the year 1879, as
they have dore, when in similar posi-
tons, during the past years, particu-
larly the positions that give us the mild
winter Of 1S77-78 and early spring Of
1873, we may expect very cratic sea
sons during 1879. 81 Agreeable to this
theory we shall have cool weather set
in early in the autumn of 1878; it will
grow cooler somewhat faster than the
mean Of the season in November and
through December, with temperature
below the mean; tolerable steady cold
weather through January, with temper
allure below the mean: winter will con-
tinue through February. followed by
cold March. Wes shall be fattered bY
the prospect of spring during few days
about the middle Of April, while Mer-
curry is about passing its inferior. con-
Junction with the sun, but this will soon
pass away and the weather or tempera-
ture sink below the average Of the sea-
son, and will probably remain below the
mean throughout May, June, and July
while We shall move into hot, stormy
summer about the last days of August,
and these conditions continuing through
September and October. Between the
autumn and winter months cool
droutns will likely prevail over large
landed countries in the temperate zone,
located far from the seas; while an ex-
cess of cool rains will probably occur
on and about the sea-coast countries
during the same term.
These abnormal irregularities of the
seasons Of 1879 must affect the crops in
many and great parts of the earth
during the year. ,sa@na~9a

Nine. de CaSSagnac.

Paul de Cassagnac is bringing action
against five journals for saying that his
wife wants to leave him. She is con-
nected with the Antonelli family, and
was to have inherited a great fortune.
Peace does not reign in the little man
SIGN to which Paul bro ught her home,
in the Rue de Boulogne. It is filed
with souvenirs of women who were at
various phases OF Paul's career the mis-
tresses of his soul. There is portrait
of Desclee round which gilt crowns
thrown to her on benefit nights are
hung; in the smoking-room traces Of
Mesdames de Beaumont and the Bri-
mont abound, and there are statuettes
of a little boy and girl, children of
Wench to whom it was thought Paul had
given for their sake a legal status. A
boudoir is literally papered with notes
from the Empress Eugene, which are
framed. Paul reproaches himself with
having brought his masculine beauty to
a wretchedly bad market. He is an ex-
travagant dog, and, unless for fencing, q
lazy one as well. When he proposed
for Mile Accard, he understood she had
splendid doWry, whereas she did not
bring him as much as would pay for.
her wedding dress, which, it appears;
was bought on credit. He was up to
his eyes in debt, and still is. The inval-
idation Of his election is a very hard
financial blow, as it deprives him Of

Assuming that the sales of real estate, as re-
turned by registers of deeds afford an approx
mately correct ratio of the assessed to the actual
value of all property, the taxable property of the
state IN 1877, amounted to S727,o71 $40; and in
1873, to SSS7, QS3. 200.
1t is to be borne in mind that this is only the
property represented upon the assessors books,
and is exclusive of the property exempt from as
sessment by law. and that which is concealed
and omitted. think it safe to say, therefore,
that the value Of all property in the state of Wis
consn to-day exceeds a thousand millions of dol
lars, and it is quite probable that the property
not by law exempt from assessment, amounts to
that sum.
The public Indebtedness is, therefore, but a
trifie more than one per cent of the actual value
OF the property which contributes to its payment,
instead of two and seven-tenths per cent, as
might be inferred, If the distinction between
actual and assessed valuations was not constantly
kept in mind. 1t IS important that the facts in
regard TO such matters should be known by the
people, no less than by legislators, that we may
deceive neither ourselves nor others.
The influence of the public belief is an import
ant factor in the science of government When
taxes are levied at the rate of three to five per
cent, there is an appearance of eXtOrtion which
enables the demagOgue to lncite uneaslness and
OlSSatlsfactiOn whereas, if property was assessed
at its true value, the rate Of taxation would be so
much decreased that 1t would be impossible to
arouse much of unfOunded suspicion in regard
10 the administration of public affairs in the
eral spheres of government from the school dis
trlct to the state. If we continually assert and
hear asserted that are poor that taxes are
burdensome, that the times are dull and hard, it
is the inevitable law that we shall come TO think
SO, without regard to facts or reason.
The total tax Levied IN the state for the year
1877 was ! 1901, 62S and amounted to S1.S9 on
each one hundred dollars of the state assessment
of S423, $50, 300. The purposes for which this tax
was levied, the respective amounts and rates are
as follows:

4Had the assessment been at actual value the
rate OftaXaton would not have exceeded one per
cent, and the direct state tax, which is less than
onetwelfth of the total tax. would have been less
than nine-tenthS of q mill to TIE dollar.
The entire state tax, direct and indirect, for
the fiscal year ending September 80, 1878. repre-
sented by the receipts into the geneI al fund,
amounts to S1.120,837 81, and if levied upon the
taxable property OF the state would amount to
one and one-tenth mills upon the dollar, or about
one-eighth OF the total paid by the people.
The amount is $4,000 less than received the
year before, which, with the large deficiency ex-
listing in the general fund January ], 1878, and the
expenses of the publication OF the revised stat
utes accounts in part for the increase in the state
tax now being collected. 1t Is confidently expect
ed that this tax will pay all the expenditures of
the year 1879 and in addition very materially Ie-
duce, If it does not entirely eXtingnish, the de-
