The attention of holders OF solvent credits,

rected to that clause of the Revenue Act
which requires the Assessor to make a Gem
plete assessment OF the same.
The law regulating assessments. requires
the Assessor to call at the residence of the
taxpayer and obtain his lists, bnt as the
people OF the country, at the season OF the
year in which tie assess ment is required to
be made, are in their fields, often miles away
and rarely ut their homes during the day. i
is much more convenient to all parties, and
will greatly facilitate the assessment for
them to meet me at tho appoint mouts desig

Assessor to ride over n man plantation, nor
is it the desire Of the people to subject him

!, SO rapidly has the work of building
. successor to the famous Eddystone
Lighthouse gone forward, that it is now
believed that the completed structure
will be in use full year earlier than at
first expected. The building Of it was
not made necessary by any failure of
SmeatOn's structure, for that itself is
pronounced as safe as it was q century
ago: but the rock that supports it has
yieldedIso much tothe action Of constant
waves and many storms as to endanger
the foundation strength. The new light
is 100 feet away from the old one, and
very much larger. Its focal plane Is
100 feet above the sea, while the old one
Is but seventy-two. In clear weather its
range is nineteen geographical miles. &.

The International Exposition at At

The management Of the International
Cotton Exposition, which is to be held at
Atlanta, Ga, beginning October and to
cont,vuc throughout the remainder Of the
year, closing December 81, have recently is
sued Il circular of which the following is the
substance: This exhibition was named the
International Cotton Exposition" because
nothing more was contemplated than a fair
for illustrating every detail of the cotton in
duslry. Soon after the company organized
the managers decided to admit other text
lies, and later, yielding to an almost uni
versal demand, they concluded to open their
doors to all iaduaries. Hence the Exposi.
ton is no longer confined to that one staple,
nor to the several textile interests, but it
comprises every industry in which civilized
men engage. The classification employed at
the Centennial will be closely followed in
the six departments Of the Exposition. The
railroad companies have adopted excursion
rates lower than ever before offered-round.
trip tickets from Chicago or St. Louis only
fifteen dollars, from Cincinnati or Louis
vile, nine dollars, and equally low rates by
other lines. 1t is expected that no less than
100000 people from the South, 100000 from
the North, and very large number from
Canada,, Great Britain and the European
Continent will visit this Exposition, and ex-
tensive arrangements are being entered into
to furnish sufficient additional accommoda.
lions to comfortably entertain so large q
multitude in the city of Atlanta. The entry
fee of twenty-five dollars is the only charge
to exhibitors. Nearly every kind Of bust

Transportation Of Bone.

IA Aktsreeents meeting of the ROYAL So
ciety an account was given by Dr.. Mac
Even of ayeryremsrk able case of inter.
human osseous transportation, no pre-.
vious successful instance being recorded:
In 1873 a ehild Of three years was sad.'
mitted into the Infrmary for necrosis of
the right humerus, the shaft of which
was already separated from its head at
the epiphyseal junction. Fifteen months
after the necr0sed portion had been re-
moved there had been no bone forma.
ton Of any account, and over two.thirds
of the shaft was wanting. A first trans
plant of bone was then performed. In
making the sulcus for reception of the
graft reliance had to be placed on ana
tomical relations as to correct positions,
as there was no trace of periosteum or
fibrous structure to indicate the former
location of the bone. Portions of hu-
man bone were transplanted on three
different occasions, the gratis beihg o.
tanned from patients affected with ante.
.rior tibial curves from which wedges of
bone had to be removed for the purpose
Of strengthening their limbs. These
osseous wedges were each divided into
many small pieces which were immedi-
ately placed in the sulcus in the boys
arm. The fragments united together IS
well as adhered to the head of humerus
above and to the condyles below, ulti-
mately forming q solid rod only half an
inch shorter than the humerus on the
opposite or left side. This transplanta,
ton of bone converted q useless arm into
thoroughly useful one. Great stress
was laid by the operation upon the sub
division of the transplanted bone into
fragments, as therefore greater nourish.
meut issable to be conveyed by the sur
rounding flesh to the osseous formation.
The conclusions arrived at are that
transplahted bone is capable Of living
and growing, and that such transplants
are capable of being put to practical
uses beneficial to mankind, but that to
insure success the transportation must
be conducted antiseptically. london

Al Death from Hydrophobia.

Michael .McMahon,,a laborer about thirty
six years Of age, died at the County Hospital
at noon yesterday, Of hydrophobia., About
eight weeks ago, while fooling with little
house. dog at home, he was bitten by the
canine on the right thumb. One tooth sank
into the quick beneath the thumb nail, and
the wound was some little time in healing,
but at no time was it thought necessary to
put more than plaster or a rag upon it, 1t
had healed completely, and was almost for.
gotten, until Sunday night last, when Ne.
Mahon experienced singing pains in the
hand and arm, and curious dizziness in the
head. The following morning he was much
worse, and was acting so curiously that his
family, called in Drs. Lee and Murphy.
After examining the patient, and noting his
symptoms both before and during their
visit, they reached the conclusion that was
Enthusiastically case Of hydrophobia. The
patient was so much worse by nightfall that
it was deemed best to remove him TO the
County Hospital. Il Ahack was the convey.
ance used, and upon reaching the corner Of
Ashland avenue and Congress- street Nc.
Mahon, in one Of his paroxysms, jumped
out OF fhe vehicle and attempted to escape
from his captors. It was nine o'clock before
the hospital was reached, and the poor man
was then in a most pitiahle condition. He
grew rapidly worse during the night and
yesterday forenoon, and finally at noon
yesterday, after unspeakable suffering,
death came to bis relief. The case was
similar in every respect to hydrophobia
cases which have been reported heretofore
by local physicians, and exhibited few. II
any,. new phases. During most Of the time
the patient painted and loIled his tongue like
dog in hot weather, and the sightof water,
or anything bright, or the splashing of any
liquid, and even an extra puff Of wind,
threw him into the most violent and horri.
BILE commissions. 1t required half dozen
men to hold him in his cot at the hospital.
and to prevent him from tearing with his
teeth not only himself but every one within
sight or reach.-- Chicago Tribune.

The immunity of the notorious
James family of Western bandits
from prosecution arises, it is now
said, from the fact that they reside
in Kentucky, and do mono of their
robbing in that State. So long as
they cross the border into Missouri
to commit crimes, and are peacoable
when at homo the sentiment Of com.
Inunity is that they are good citizens
and ought not to be disturbed
Their home is in Nelson County,
but whenever a stranger begins to
make inquiries about them he is
speedily made to comprehend that
his life is 10 danger. Tue Jameses
are Ignorant aud brutal, but very
ventures0no aud cunning. Their
depredaIions have brought in consi-
derable wealth, and they are said t.
be proud Of their reputation as
plunderers.
