HURRAH! = Thousands Of people
have shouted "hurrah!" s'many a
time and oft" but comparatively few
know its derivation and primary
meaning. It originated among the
Eastern nations, when it was used as
a war cry, from the belief that every
man who died In battle for his ceun-
try went to heaven. It is derived
from the sclavodic word hurraj.

LEARN to be brief. Long visits
long stories, long exhortations and
long prayers, seldom profit those
who have to do with them. Life is
short. Time is short. Moments
are precious. Learn to condense
abridge and intensity. We can en-
dure many an ache and ill if it is
soon over, while even pleasures grow
lnsipid aRd pain intolerable if they
are protracted beyond the limits of
reason and convenience. Learn to
be brief. Lop off branches: stick to
the main fact in your case. If Won
pray, ask for what You would re
celve and get through; if you speak. |
Tell your message and hold your
peace; boil down two words into one
md three into two. Always learn to

The Board of Equalization,

The board of equalization of the county
board for the year 1881, practically closed its
labors yesterday afternoon. They convened
July IS and from that day to yesterday have
worked faithfully in going over and reviewing
the assessment made by the county asses
sor. During this heated term the members,
with Mayor Rice presiding, have patiently
listened to large number of petitions, objec-
tions, remonstrances, &c. The board as above
stated, met on the 18th of July, and was
composed of the following named officials,
VIZ: Hon. E. Rice, mayor of the city of St.
Paul; ]. J. McCardy, auditor of Ramsey coun-
ty; VIM. Freeman, assistant assessor of Ram
sey county; John Grace, John WAGNER and
Adam Finck, county commissioners; w. D.
Cornish, C. w. Griggs, Thomas Grace and
Herman Trott, of the city council. Even a
summary of the business transacted would be
too lengthy to be given. Suffice it to say that
the board discharged its thankless duties con-
scient:ously and to the satisfaction of all par
ties concerned. A very few reductions from
the assessors returns were made, but quite a
number of assessments were raised.
