An Incident,

] The most pleasing and affecting incident
of the inaugural ceremonies, was that when
President Garfeld,in the immense presence
where he stood, and amid the imposing sur
roundings which hedged about him, evil
denced that the swelling, bounding affection
station and honors and ambitions, and laid
all the trophies he had won at the feet of
mother and wife. Concluding his inaugur-
al address, he turned first to her who
bore him, watched by his cradle, and fol-
lowed his every step from tottering infancy
to mature manhood with a mothers anx-
iety and love, and then to her whose heart
throbbed responsive to his every trial and
every ambition and every triumph, to i'm
print kiss of reverence and devotion. The
gorgeous pageantry before him-the ap-
plause of the thousands, which but voiced
the emotions of fifty millions of sovereigns !;
the homage of the high and low, the rich
and poor, did not cause him, in the seduc-
tive splendor of place and power, to forget
the aged mother who had nursed him or the
tender wife who had forsaken all for his
sake, but in the pride of manhood gave
them the first recognition on entering upon
the duties of his exalted station. 1t was an
affecting tribute to the charming felicity
of the home circle, and the evidence of the
moral symmetry of character that is des-
tined to add dignity to the Presidency and
illumine the pages of American history.

A great deal has been said about the low as
sessment of real estate for the current year and
the assessors have been roundly censured for
the valuations placed upon property In some
instances they deserved censure, and in some
they did not, but as general thing they
have come nearer the true value in the assess
ments they made than the majority of per-
sons do in giving IN their personally. If
the average of land assessment is 30 per cent.
below value, the average assessment of perso-
nal property is so per cent. below value Not
one man in ten gives fair estimate of his per-
sonal effects, when the assessor comes around,
and the decrease of taxes is attributable far
more to this source than to dereiction on the
part fthe officer. The fact is the mode of as
sessing personally should be changed Its
value should be estimated by disinterested per-
sons. How many men are there who value their
personal property the same to the tax assessor
and insurance agent? And yet they are supposed
to be giving only two-t thirds of it's value to the
insurance company ard its entire value to the
State. A radical change is needed in the as
sessment of personal property, and when any
thing like fair mode of ascertainment is
reached it will be found that the amount re-
ceived by the State from this source will be at
least double what it now is

Copious reports of Guiteau's trial
Scntinue to be telegraphed daily and
seem likely to discredit permanently
the American courts with the English
public. The Times remarks that the
trial astonishes and shocks English
readers. Lawyers declare that no such
spectacle ofjudicial incapacity has ever
been seen. Constantly recurring
scenes, the license allowed Gulteau,
the demeanor of the spectators, the
applause bestowed on Scoville, indie
cent demonstrations of every kind tol-
Grated by the judge and his utter In
ability to keep order or control the
proceedings in his own court, are all
unhappily regarded here as typical in
stead of exceptional. Lawyers, more
over, consider the examination Of
Guiteau touching his own insanity as
scandalous innovation.-Er.

Our people are very indignant at
the enormous tax rate assessed upon
them. 1t being over six per cent,
and there isa probability Of giving
the tax collector some trouble to col
lect it, The assessor assessed our
property, last spring, at a fair valua-
ton, and nobody complained and
everybody would have been willing to
pay anything like fair rate, but to
make the rate so out Of proportion,
especially when there is hardly coun-
ty road or bridge within the county,
it is simply an outrage and will not be
tolerated. If there were plenty Of
public roads, streams bridged and i'm
provements in the county; it would be
different, but instead of that if a man
has much travelling to do in a year he
pays fair rate of tax to the toll roads.
There has been no improvement in
the county, except the building Of
the court house, the cost of which did
not exceed $40, 900.

week. in the novel pursuit ofhuntins opes-
sum and other small varmints thea plenti-
lul in this vicinity. This pursuit was en-
gagged in both as a measure of sport and
profit, and notwithstanding he was con
stantly laughed at by his lrieads, he boldly
declared his intention to make the proceeds
of that six weeks opossum hunt net him
81 900 in less than ten years. Now for the
result. The meat and pelts of that hunt
were carefully sold, and when brought te-
gether aggregated $50. This amount was
invested in twelve calves, which, at the
end Of two years were sold and re-invested
in 100 calves, which now, st the end of
four years from the first Investment, are
held at $40 each, making a next value OF
