The Assessment of voters.

The Republican papers of this city are
uniting in an urgent call upon the members
of their party to attend to getting assessed
in time, so as to be prepared to vote at the
next election, and one of them makes the
unjust accusation that the Democratic asses-
sors have failed to DO their full duty in
pacing the names Of taxables upon their
assessment lists.
There are three County Assessors for VIII
mington, two OF whom are Democrats and
one Republican. They are all worthy citi
Eens and men of good character. In the
absence of proof to the contrary 1t Is to be
presumed that they have done their duty
thoroughly and well. We have posi-
tive personal knowledge respecting
one of them, and happen to know
that Mr.. Maxwell, of the First District, took
unusual pains and exercised great diligence
in making full and careful assessment.
He did not miss house iu his district, but
at many of them he was denied the required
information at the instance of men who did
not wish to be assessed, simply from de-
sire to evade the payment of a tax.
We have no doubt that the other Asses
sors, Mr.. Lannan and Mr.. Talley, had similar
experiences, and If, when election day
draws near, there are complaints from dis
franchised citizens, we feel sure it will be due
to their own negligence and not to a failure
of the Assessors to do their duty.
During next February the Assessors will
sit for three days at the City Hall for the
purpose of correcting their lists and adding
the names Of all omitted parties who will
apply in person, accompanied by voucher
Still another opportunity will be given by
the Levy Court, at its March meeting, after
which there will be no further opportunity
ofQualifying for the elective franchise until
the Assessors commence work a. ain next
winter.
We do not think any fairer system of reg
istration can be devised than the one In op-
Grafton In this State. 1t is better than
registry law, because under the latter regis
tration 1t is purely voluntary, and men who
dodge the Assessor, as we know many
did. In this city, will rot voluR-
tarily go before a public officer and
qualify themselves for voting. They would
prefer to sneak away from the Assessor,
whose personal interests impel him to hunt
closely after tbtm, and then howl about
being dlsfranchised when election day finds
them unqualified 10 avail themselves of the
right of suffrage.
When the very light tax required as pre-
requisite to voting is considered, man
ought to be ashamed to voluntarily deprive
himself of his citizenship. We hope, there
fore, that the misguided men who de
liberately evaded the Assessors when they
were making their rounds, will apply to
them at the City Hall next February, and
qualify themselves to vote at the Presidential
election next fall.

The Washington correspondent of
the Troy, N, Y, Times, says The
unfortunate Suit brought against the
executors of Henry +. lurant by
woman who claims to have been his
mistress before he married the estima-
BILE lady who is now his widow, revives
III the minds of those who 'hnew him
the record of his wonderful career.
At the bar of Massachusetts he was
flor years recognized as the ablest and
wickedest practitioner. In that way
he amassed fortune running into the
millions, A few years ago be was
converted, Joined the church, was
great exhorter at revivals, and built
that noble institution, Wellesley Col
lege, of which Mrs. Durant is still the
patron genius. While Durant was in
the height of his fame, and the worst
stories were atioat about him, he went
up in Berkshire County tp argue a
case. II was his first appearhpce there.
The Courtroom was crowded. His
opponent was Mr.. W., a gentleman of
great character hut moderate talents,
but who has since been Governor.
Durant made a. wonderful speech.
Berkshiremen delight to tell, of it to
this day. The other lawyer, was CON-
,pletely routed. The Jury went out,
and, to the surprise of all, in a few
minutes brought in a verdict against
Durant's side. No one was more
astonished than Dhfant. Going out Of
the rbbM lie met the foreman. Nov,
Rmy good man,,s'he said, '"'tis all over.
Suppose YOU tell me howyou happened
to decide against ,he," "Yes,a was
the reply "I1l tell we. That argy.
ment of yQnrn was powerful good
one. but When, We got togethsf and
remembered what a good speech Mr..
w. made up at our Sunday school Con-
|lvention last Spring, we agreed not to
&C. hgin him. Besides" waxing little
contdehtial, show d We think It
would, look for us up our way if we
sided with man that they tell such
hard things about as they do youa"
Durant used to delight in telling Ills
funny experiences III this line, but lie
died broken-hear,ed man and his
sins seem almost to end him out in the

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.

The children kept coming. one by one,
Till the boys were five and the girls were three;
And the big brown house was alive with fun,
From the basement floor to the old rooftree.
Like garden flowers the little ones grow, -
Nurtured aud trained with tenderest care;
Warmed by loves sunshine, bathed in Its dew,
They bloonied into beauty like roses rare. !
And leaning his head on his mothers breast,
He said: /" am tired and cannot play,
Let me sit awhile on your knee and rest"
She Graded him close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him to sleep with her sweetest
song, -
And rapturous love still llghtedh his face
When his spirit had Joined the heavenly
throng III
Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes,
Who stood where"the brook and the river
mctt,'
Stole softly away into paradise,
Ere the" river had reached her slender feet;
Whine the fathers eyes on the graves were
The mother looked up beyond the skies
"our treasures" she answered, "were only
lent,
Our darlings were angels in earth's disguise"
The years flew by and the children began
With longing to look at the world outside,
And as each In his turn became man
The boys proudly went from tue fathers side,
The girls were women so gentle and fair
That lovers were speedy to wooand win,
Aud with orange blossoms ny their braided
! hair = u
Tho old homes they lcft, new homes to begin.
So, one by one, the children have nown-
The boys they were five, and the girls were
three
And the big brown house Is gloomy and lone,
With but two old folfs for its company.
They talk to each other about the past
As they sic together ut eventide,
And say, "All the children we keep at last
Are the little ones who In childhood flied "

Not to be Trusted.
