"But not a beautiful mouth" interpo-

jeska was in the midst of a company Of
actors. "Her mouth is course, out Of har-
mony with the rest Of the face, and is its
most expressive feature, unhappily. Then
Americans like much facial expression, and
Mrs. Lsngtry has not mobile features.
Her beauty is of the statuesque order.
The head is fine and exquisitely poised on
the shoulders"
II call her a flesh and blood beauty, in
stead Of sculpturesque," said the third
speaker enthusiastically. "She has per-
feet health. She always looks as fresh and
sweet as though just from a sleep and a
bath. The exquisite coloring Of skin, hair

Orange County Assessments.

While the assessment of - 100000 of taxable
properly in this county, or an increase of over
100000 10 one year is most gratifying evil
dence of augmentation of values in our midst Il
really does not give the public correct exhibit
oil the actual value of Orange county property
Our assessments of nOn-prOductive lands how
ever valuable they may he, is in most cases al
most nominal. For instance. We have Mr. San
lords Belair grove. with twelve thousand orange
trees, its valuable nurseries, its pineapple or
chards, etc, assessed al less than SIS 600 and
yet this grove could not have cost less than $685.
600, and has an estimated value Of $3.50, 900. The
Markham grove ON the Wekiva, with its one
hundred acres OF the finest trees in The county,
is assessed at less than 100000, although il
would be a cheap property al $4,000 Flu
wanna. on Lake Maitland, on which the late
John BigelOF must have spent $4,000, is re-
turned al $1,000 AN of J. N. Bishops property
Is returned al $1,000 and yet we doubt Ii Dir.
Bishop would take $4,000 for his grove at Paola-
Mr. F. b. AsabrOOk returns $500 worth of
property, and yet one piece of his property on
the OckIawaha could not be purchased for $780,

We might go on and cite two or three hundred
other cases in which the assessment Is very
greatly l0weHihan the real value. but those cited
are sufficient 10 show that the aggregate of g.
100000 does not correctly exhibit The true value

The Orlando Reporter will make note.
The law requires that land shall be as

value" and this term is defined to mean
the usual selling price at the place where
the property to which &he term is applied
shall be at the time Of assessment. Il
is plain from what the Herald says that
this provision of law is more honored in
the breach than in the observance-in
many instances at least. In Middle Flor.
ida, on the other hand, where the demand
for land is by no manner of means as
great as the supply, the provision Of law
quoted is more than complied with. As
general thing the selling price " is be-
low the value placed upon it for tax pur-
poses. In Orange, as we have seen, it is
the other way. By and by we hope to
be able to chronicle . boon" all over

Mr.. Swearingen) voted for Conover for
the Senate in 1873 but this was done by
agreement Of the Democratic caucus held
the night before the election, when some
twenty other Democratic members voted
the same way. The agreement was that
after three ballots for another, which were
bad, and there was no choice, the Demo
Gratis should vote for Conover as least
Of evils Mr.. Swearingen voted for Con

both obeyed the injunction Of the caucus
IN doing this. Their constituents APP
proved their course, and so did the gen

makes an intelligent member of the Legis-

Liberty will be well served if they elect
him their Senator, as we believe they will
do, the Patriots covert attempt to injure
him notwithstanding.
We will add here, that it has been said
in Wakulla that be voted for the funding

statement is untrue He voted against
