Have been cheaper this Winter than ever before, and it has been admitted on all hands that we have beaten all competi- tion to an extent not often possible in these days. We have sold more than double the quantity of blankets that we sold last Winter, and have almost closed out our very large stock. In fact we have been obliged to buy again lately certain makes. But we have a number of odds and ends-a few pairs of this that and the other lot-and in order to help out these we have reduced the prices on them, notwithstanding the fact that no one in town was selling them even as low as our former prices.

The assessors make several recommenda- tions, none of which will, we imagine, be adopted soon. They would have all incomes of more than $10,O0O taxed, and they would also have tax laid on inheritances and leg acies. In support of the latter recommend tion they point to the fact that from 1870 to 1879 the legacy and succession taxes in Great Britain were $162, 433 s75. au average of over $16, GOO, 900 per year.

''Stepniak," author of Underground Rus sia," gives an interesting account of Soudeik in, who was recently killed by the Russian Nihilists. Five years ago Soudsikin was an obscure and unknown infantry captain. He rose with the assassination of the Czar. Having shortly before entered the police from the army, he attracted the attention of Public Prosecutor Strelmikof, a monarchical fanatic, who recommended him, though but 28, to the Czar for important work, and he soon won gelden opinions from his majesty. He was born detective, and had marve lous art of insinuating himself into the con- fdence of prisoners. He openly avowed that terrorism was, in his opinion, the only reme- dy applicable. To accomplish his aim he was absolutely indifferent to what expedients he resorted, but he was not cruel. He of ten said that, sooner or later, he was bound to be killed, but would do his best to make it later. He had no fixed habitation, and but very few knew where to find him. Stepniak describes him as the most powerful subject of the empire, and thinks that it would be difficult to exaggerate the consternation oc- casioned by his murder among the court parkv

AN UNEaUAL TAX sYsTEM.

D
 The people of the State of New York have been given an abundance of ssfood for
 thought" by the report of the State assessors which has just been made. This report shows that the burden of taxation is very unequally distributed.
 In not one of the twenty-seve counties ] visited by the assessors WAS there uniformity of assessment of real and personal property, and except in the cities of Albany, Oswego and Elmirs and two or three towns the local assessors have not complied with the require ments of the law. Assessment of real and personal property in one or more of the
 counties averaged thirty per cent. of it's full
 value, and in some towns only eighteen or twenty per cent. The law provides that the
 assessor shall attach to his assessment roll an
 oath, certified by justice, that he has ap-
 praised all of the property. It also provides
 that whenever local assessors have appraised
 and assessed property at fractional values
 'they shall be deemed guilty of wilful per-
 jury"
 Among the most interesting and instruct
 i've facts set forth in the report are those re. lating to the increase in the real estate valua- tion, and the apparent decrease in personal property. The increase in the real estate
 valuations of the State in 1882 was SPA, ,556,- 861, the increase of the previous year being $92, 325, ,6S8. In seventeen years the real property of the State has about doubled in value, while there has been an apparent de- crease of SIT ,500. 900, or about 20 per cent, in the value of personal property. Last vA0 he ,To ko B. crease for 1881 of $1o.OOo,O0o in the valua- tion of personal property throughout the State, but this was more than accounted for by the increase in the cities of New York and Albany. In Al counties the aggregate had decreased over $5.0OO,Ooo. This year the decrease appears to be general, aggrega- ting as it does $36. .OOo, 900. This apparent decrease is charged largely to the decision of the Court of Appeals in 1881 that the law of the State of New York. does not prevent the pur- chase of United States bonds nor the crea- tion of debt for the purpose of evading the assessment of personal property. That is to say, man may, before declaring the value of his personal property, purchase bonds which are exempt from taxation, may bor- row the whole amount of the purchase money, and may deduct from his assessment both the value of the bonds and the amount borrowed for their purchase. The assessors believe that this evil can be remedied by amending the law providing that all debts, contracts or obligations created for the pur- chase of any property exempt by the laws of the State or the United States from taxation, shall not be deemed g just debt within the meaning of the law for taxation purposes But even With such 8 law as this it is not probable that the evil would be fully over

A young woman of Berlin discovered. to her great indignation, that a number of her photographs were exhibited in different parts of the city, with the addition of heavy eye brows and decided moustache. She at once brought suit against the photographer. In the trial it came out that the proprietor of patent hair restorer, wishing to show visibly the power of bis specific to produce it's effect even in the place where the hair ought not to grow, had selected this photograph, made the photographer paint in moustache and heavier eyebrows on the negative, and then had large number of copies struck of. It also appeared that the young woman had forbidden that her portrait should bs used for advertisement in the ordinary way. It was held by the court that the embellishments which he had added only aggravated his of fence in exhibiting it without permission, and he was fined 100 marks.

The London correspondent of the Liver pool Mercury says: Recently was present at discussion on the drama where several clergymen spoke. They all said the same thing. They began life with prejudice against the drama. They had been obliged to champion it. A clergyman who had worked very much among the lowest classes of London as chaplain of the metropolitan asylums declared that he found the theatre implanting the first ideas of higher life in the hearts of men who never attended church, and one costermonger came to him because he had been convinced by play that course of reckless vice led to misery There is no longer any need for church and stage guild. In fact, I know a very earnest London person who rewards the best scholars in his Sunday school by taking them occasionally to the pit of theatre to see a good play.

An INCIDENT.
A ReHiniseenss In the Early Life of Maj.
Charles NJ, Steadnan.

o. P. @. in Fayetteville Odseruey.
A few years before the breaking out
of the war, on q fourth of July, /
think, while standing in the door of
the Fayetteville Bookstore, my atten-
tion was directed to knot or half
dozen schoolboys who we're standing
on the pavement q few steps off. They
were students at the Donaldson Acad-
emy, and were generally called Chill
boys" to Distinguish them from the
town boys proper-their parents all
living back of Haymount. As we'll
as can remember them at this time,
they were James and John Dobbin,
sons of Hon. James G. Dobbin; John
and James Huske, sons of Mrs. An
ness G. Huske, the sister of Mr.. Dob
bin; Henry E. Shepherd, son of Judge
Shepherd, and now So favorably
known as President Shepherd of
Charleston; and one other, stranger
boy whom l did not know. Probably
no one of them was over fifteen years
old.
At the time I noticed them they
appeared to have been engaged in a
somewhat animated political argu-
ment, and the stranger boy had just
obtained the floor" l was not dis.
posed to be an eavesdropper, but
could not help listening to his little
speech if I may call it SO. His Ian
guage was chaste and pure, strictly
grammatical, and entirely void of all
the low arguments of the demagogue
He showed knowledge of the polite
al history of the country rarely exhib
tied by our best speakers. Spoke o.
the formation of the Constitution
and quoted from the opinions of Mr.
Jefferson and others to support the
arguments which. he advanced. II
was good whig speech of the time
and would now pass as good democra
cy by the So called Democratic party
of to-day. At the expiration of ff
teen or twenty minutes, the boys NOV
ed off. I pointed out the stranger
boy and inquired who he was. Th'
answer was, "That is Charlie Sted
man, son of Nathan Stedman."

A Phase in Journalism.
r. 7. Smdlleu in The Manhattan.

One feature of the present phase of
journalism is especially satisfactory.
The newspapers are more free from
tho influence of the politicians then
ever before. Even Of strong party
papers display robust independence.
They criticise FREQ the measures and
leaders of their own party. Indeed
they are themselves the leaders of the
organizations the support. The po-
litical chief in congress is much more
influenced by the opinions and wishes
of the editors in New York, Boston
and Chicago than the editors are by him.
Except in the case of few obscure
sheets that live upon municipal pat
ronage, the daily papers do not care
for views of this or that party "boss"
or leading Statesman, save as mat
ter of, news. Their opinions ON poll
tics are their own. This independence
of the dictation and influence of pro-
fessional politicians extends to the
weekly press, which has largely out
grown its old subserviences to the
dispensers Of county patronage and
become manly and self reliant.
