1t seems that the Manager Of the Disston
Land Company, in Hillsborough, has been
trying to have their lands placed upon
assessors books at what they cost. The
Tribune, rs usual, flies off at q tangent,
and declares that this is another of those
transactions which demonstrates either
great incompetency or corruption on the
part of this administration" We must
confess our inability to see the connection.
A man tries to get his lands assessed at
a low valuation-thousand do it-and
at once the administration is denounced.
Away with such nonsense. AS we have
before remarked, the valuation of real es-
tate is controlled entirely by the county
assessor and the county commissioners
the State officials have nothing to do
with it.
To show how far-fetched the Tri6mae's
assertions are, we will simply remark that
the State authorities had made out and
forwarded to the Clerk of the Court in
Hillsborough and other counties a list of
all the lands that had been decided to Mr.
Disston on March l, 1882. This was the
only means the assessor had of knowing
the lands. If the State authorities had
desired to shield Mr.. Disston they
need not have sent the list, and then it
would have been impossible for the asses
sor to have described or known the lands.
The forwarding of a list of the lands de-
monstrates fully the policy of the admin
istration, which is to get all taxable prop
erty on the books in order to further re-
duce taxation. Will the Tribune never
be fair and try and inform itself before it

The hundreds Of persons who daily sall
for letters at the Philadelphia Post Office

His position is not particularly pleasant
one from the fact that during

to face all the cold draughts If air that rush

most of his bodily pains and aches are at
tributed to this cause. On q recent occas-

Broom Corn.

There Is sort of spontaneity about the
production of crops on certain soils, which
ought to afford valuable suggestions to
those who are seeking to introduce new
ones. AS, for example: The total produo-
ton of broom corn in the United States is
about sixteen thousand tons, and though
the crop is scattered over the country, from
the Valley Of the Mohawk to the Valley Of
the Arkansas. four thousand tons, or .
quarter OF il, are raised within an area of q
few square miles on the Chicago branch Of
the Illinois Central railroad, about $50
miles south OF Chicago, in the counties of
Douglas and Coles. Here on very deep.
rich and black prairie soil, Of which half
the surface is under water in the rainy sea-
son, broom corn has come to be q leading,
as 1t is profitable crop, without SO
much as the outside world hearing Of the
circumstance.

Feather Fans.

Ingenious ladies' in the country will be
glad to know that fashion has ecllled the
large turk y feather fans SO long obsolete.
People used to make them for themselves
by using for foundation the fit handled
palm leaf fans, cutting the leaf down till
there was only circle left sufficient to sew
the feathers on irregularly. small, fat
stuffed bird or a bright satin ribbon bow
conceals the junction Of quilts and handle
and adds to the dressiness of the fan.
Some of those which are for sale are made
with sticks to furl and unfurl like Japanese
or Spanish fans, but it is doubtful If these
could be successfully made at home, and
they are really less stylish than the large
spread fans.
