ST. Louis, Aug 15.-Mrs Sheldon, wife of
Alfred Sheldon-whose disappearance from Kan,
sas City, some time since, caused good deal OF
comment, and even led the English government
to make inquiries about him-arrived here yes
terday, and is stopping with Stephen Sheldon,
an uncle Of her husband. She will remain sew
eral days here and then go. to New York, whence
she will sail for Liverpool. An effort to obtain
an interview with her failed. Mr.. Sheldon de-
clined positively TO allow her to be seen by re-
porters. Mr.. Sheldon denies, however that his
nephew is defaulter to the Blue Springs Mill
ing Company as charged, and does not believe
he is secreted either in Kansas City or Trenton,
Mo-; and, without telling how, or in any manner
unraveling the mystery, gives it as his opinion
that the whole matter will be settled in few

MAKING TAX RETURNS.

The following paragraph is going the
rounds of the State press, without credit.
1t contains some important information in
regard to the listing of taxable property un-
der the Act passed at the recent session of
the Legislature:
The act passed at the recent session of the
Legislature changing the date for making
tax returns so that the Auditor can assess
and the Treasurer collect at the same time,
is likely to be misunderstood by taxpayers,
who will probably be under the impression
that they will make their return of property
for 1884 and pay the taxes thereon at the
same time. A moments reflection viii
convince them that this is erroneous. The
taxes on the 1884 returns will not be levied
until after the next session of the Legisla-
tllre, and of course the Treasurer can not re-
ceive the taxes until they have been levied.
The two officers will 60 together and the
treasurer will collect the taxes onthc returns

made in 1883, while the Auditor receives the
returns for 1884. This plan possesses many
advantages for the tax payer. Among 9TH
ers it will save him the loss of one days
time and frequently trip of from fifteen to
twenty miles to his court house. In our
present complicated system Of collecting
taxes, it is almost impossible to prevent er-
rors on the tax books. The treasurer cam
not correct an error on his books because
theyare made up by the auditor and he alone
is authorized by law to make changes in
them under certain conditions, or to add
names thereto that have not been placed
upon the treasurer's books. Heretofore it
was necessary for the tax payer to go to his
court house for all such corrections now, as
the auditor will be with the treasurer, these
changes can be made without any, delay.
All this, however, must be done when the
first installment of taxes is paid, as the au-
ditor will not be with the treasurer in the
county during the collection of the second
inStallment.

129 associations, composed of 669 churches;
new churches were established; 800 per-
sons were baptized, 427 were restored to

775 members by death, S37 by expulsion,
and 1,9OS by letters of withdrawal. The

total population Of the State. There are
3,347 Sunday School officers and teachers

.sOUR WOMEN IN WARP

The Charleston Netcs and Courier desires
to obtain fifty or more sketches of the ex-
periences, grave or gay, lively or severe, of
the Southern women during the war. Lit
tie has been published hitherto concerning
their sufferings, anXieties and privations,
and the News and Courier wishes to make
the record of the war complete, by giving
e American public a just idea of what the
Southern women endured during the strug-
gle for the Lost Cause. There was comedy
as we'll as tragedy in their daily life, and
the object is to obtain descriptions of every
side and phase Of a Southern Woman's
trials and triumphs, at home, or as a refu-
gee, during the Confederate struggle. The
sketches in question will be published nthe
Weekly Ners, Charleston, S. c., under the
general title of "Our Women in the War"
The conditions are as follows:
|. The sketches must be written by South
ern women who were in the South dur
ing the war, and shall be confined to Il
description of events and circumstances of
which the writer's have personal knowledge,
and with which they or their families were
connected.
.. Each sketch shall fill not less than fif
teen nor more than thirty pages Of fools
cap, written on one side.
3. The sketches shall be sent, with the
real name of the writer, to the -Netrs dld
Courier, Charleston, $. c., not later than
March lst, 1884.
t. Every sketch that is accepted will be
promptly paid for, and any Southern wo-
man who desires to do so can send in two or
more sketches.
The object in view is certainly an excel
lent one, and it is hoped that Southern wo-
men everywhere will do their part in max
ing the undertaking successful.

THE GENERAL AssEMBLY.-The time TOR
the meeting of our General Assembly should
be changed or men sent to this body VINO
are not com PEELED to get home by Christmas
and then return no more. Men whose pri-
vate affairs are of more Importance than
those of the State, should be left at home
and men put in their places who have time
to give to public affairs. This way that the
General Assembly has of hurrying through
with important business in order to adjourn
by Christmas will yet do harm. Besides,
from year to year business is carried over
that ought to be attended to. If nothing
else will do let the time be changed to the
first Tuesday after the first Monday in each
January, and then there will be none OF this
Christmas hurry. The farmers will say
that this arrangement will interfere with
their farm work; but as we said above, if
they have not the time to spare from their
private affairs they can remain at home.
This matter should be seriously considered,
as it seems to be growing evil.-AbberiVe
