A SUGGESTION TO THE LEGISLATURE

Although the Treasurers office is now open,
nobody is paying, and nobody can pay until cot
ton is sold. We say let us pay our taxes IN the
beginning Of the year BY paying in the begin
ming of the year the school teachers will not be
subjected to loss and inconvenience, and others
who may work for the county can be paid
promptly.
EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: AS will be
seen from the above clipping from the Alb
beyille Press and Banner, suggestions seem
to be in order. l therefore venture to sug-
gest that the Legislature lay the next tax,
one-half on the assessment of 1884, and the
other half on the assessment of 1885. AS is
we'll known, we are now year behind.
Let us catch up, and do away with serious
inconvenience in the transfer of real estate.
One may sell land to-day, and pay taxes
thereon in the Fall of next year.

AN EXTENSIVE CIRCUS RIoT.-A dis
patch of Sunday from Atchison, Kansas,
says: (: A serious row occurred between cltl-
zens of Burr Oak, Jewell county, Kansas,
and showmen belonging to Miles Orton's
circus, on Friday night, in which one man
was killed and several were wounded. The
disturbance was begun by drunken citizen
named Elliott, and a general tight occurred.
Elliott was arrested and the circus men took
their effects to the train. The crowd fol-
NN>>>>
restored order, a man named Evans appear
ed at the depot with ouble-barrelled shot
gun, and fired into the train. At this mo-
ment the train pulled out, and the circus
men fired volley at the crowd, killing j.
Longnecker, mortally wounding Mayor
Mann and slightly wounding boy. Long
necker had not taken part in the row. He
leaves widow and six children. Orton's
circus is the same that was in the horrible
affair at Greeley, Colorado, some time ago.
It was billed to show at Washington yester-
day, and thither abouta hundred Burr Oak
people went by special train to arrest the
murderers. Great excitement prevails at
Burr Oak. Another special from Washing
ton says that sixteen circus men were ar
rested there yesterday morning by the sher-
iff of Jewell county. In the afternoon they.
were taken to Greenleaf by the sheriff OF
Washington county. At p. Ma hundred
men arrived there from Burr Oak, and at
last accounts five hundred men were at the
depot awaiting developments, While the
circus was performing up town. The Burr
Oak people demanded the arrest OF Orton
and his son. The crowd was orderly.

WINTER VISITORS In

WINTER VISITORS IN New Or.
LEANs.-The Times Democrat says New
Orleans has wintered more visitors from
the North this year than at any time
since the war. About the middle OF
December they commenced arriving from
New England, New York and the West
ern States, and when the big cold wave
came it drove them south by hundreds,
Most ofthe visitors are naturally people
in poor health, suffering from rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, or some bronchial or
lung complaint. They have been order
ed South by their doctors. and they turn
their steps in the direction of Florida or
Louisiana hoping for mild, equAble.
pleasant weather. Florida formerly
monopolized most. of this business, but
this year New Orleans and the Mississ-
ippi coast has been largely patrorized,
though the Florida papers claim that
there are more strangers now in that
State than ever before This demon
strates that the number OF Northern and
Western winter visitors to the South is
yearly increasing.

The BOTTOM OF THE MISSISSIPPI RTv-
ERA remarkable physical phenome-
non has been observed by Captain w.
Il. Marshall, of the United States Engi-
neers, stationed at VickSburg and in
charge of river improvement work at
Lake Providence, La, for the Mississippi
River Commission. Captain Marshall,
in report just made to NJ. B. Harold,
of the Commission in New Orleans, com,
municated his discovery. The statement
is as follows: ga few piles haye washed
out of the fve-row dikes at Myersville
chute. There was a thick foot-mat and
a cubic yard of stone pier running to the
foot of the dixie. A remarkable phenomA
enon is shown here. A pile FIVE feet
longer than the rest, marked to indicate
the front of the dixie at high water, still
remains standing upright and firm two
feet below the lower row. The drift is
arched across the opening, and there is
no pressure upon this pile. 1t has trav-
eled sixty-two feet down stream erect and
tirml y imbeded in the sand. Such cases
have been reported heretofore but not
credited by me. This case I observed
myself. 1t can only be accounted for on
the supposition of bodily movement of
the sand foundation"

PHILADELPHIA Press: Morrison's bill.
so far as we have been able to consider it,
is wanton, bungling and uncaIled-for
attack on the business interests of sthe
country. With the tariff of last winter
untried, with nearly every industry suf-
fering from depression that is worse in
free-trade England than in our own
country, Mr.. Morrison comes forward
with a proposition that in its least harm
less features will unsettle business and
It's worst features will ruin manufacturers
whose only crime has been the employ
ment of American labor and the reduc-
ton of the cost of goods to the American
consumer.

bags of coffee to San Francisco, and in
1880 38.027. The crop is hauled from
the interior to the principal shipping port

THE BULLFROGS' PARTY.

In Autumn when the barns were full,
And sheep and pigs were sleek and fat,
The frogs resolved to give ball
Or sort of free-and easy chat,
Twas straight agreed that none should
come
Who were not either rich or wise
Great scholars who could make speech,
Or else were great at catching flies.
The object of the meeting was
Not only fun, but elevation
To teach the jewellers of the boys
To seek the very highest station.
The first who came was DIR. Owl,
In ebon kids and white cravat
You would have split TO see him bow
When he shook hands with Mrs. Bat.
The dove came next, in snowy dress,
And in her breast spring of myrtle
And after her whippoorwill
Escorted by swapping turtle.
A cricket, with banjo made
Or hazel-shell and oaten straw,
Had perched himself upon a rock,
And tiddled till his toes were raw.
Among the rest the robin came,
With beaming eye and red cravat,
And after him jolly quail, 10.
That scarce could waddle for his fat.
But In moment all were hushed,
just when the dim was fully ripe,
To watch sleek and chubby toad
commence to polka with a snipe
A frisky chipmunk fixed her eve
Upon squirrel young and bright,
And when he handed round the nuts
She fairly trembled with delight.
Inc crow dlscoursed on greed and theft,
And almost wished he'd meier been
born
Mankind, he said, had got so smart
lie scarce could steal grain of corn
For supper they had fish and bugs,
And picked snails, and roasted flies,
Ane nuts, and mice and glow-worm hash,
And pepper-corn and beetles eyes.
In snort they stuffed and dances and
clucked,
III frog and birds were almost dead
An no when the sleepy moon went down
lhey hoped and waddled home to bed
