The Bishopric of Shanghai.

A cipher dispatch received at the
rooms Of the Foreign Missions Protestant
Episcopal Church, New York, announces
the conservation of the Rev. William
Jones Boone, d. D. as Missionary Bishop
of Shanghai, in that city, on st. SimOn's
and st. Jude's day. Bishop Boone is the
son OF the late Rev. w. j. Boone, who
married a sister of the late beloved Bishop
Elliott, and is a brother Of Rev. Thomas
Boone, Rector of Christ Church, OF this
city. Bishop Boone is we'll known in Sa-
vannah, having spent seyeralmonthsb here
in 1879.
The London (England) Guardian of
Sept. %, speaking of the then prospective
event, says:
The Bishop Of Ohio writes to US that in
formation mas been received from the
mission house in New York that the Pre-
siding Bishop Lee, having the consent of
the diOceses and the bishops to the con-
secFation Of the Rev. Mr.. Boone as Mis-
siOnary Bishop of Shanghai, in China, has
taken order for his being so advanced at
that place. He has commissioned Bishop
Williams, Of Toxic, in Japan, to act with
any TWO or more bishops of the missions
of the Church Of England in the cOnsecr8-
ton. 1t IS understood that Bishop MOule
has kindly offered the use of his
cathedral for this solemn office:
and it is probable that it will take place
on the festival of st. Simon and st. Jude.
Mr.. Boone is a son Of the former Bishop
Booze, of China. He was born and bap-
tizad in Shanghai, has been a faithful
Missionary there for many years, and it
is peculiarly appropriate that his adj
vancement to the highest office of the min
istry should be confirmed in that city.
This event viii be a happy cOrollary Of
the principle affirmed by the Scotch Epis-
cOpal Church 100 years ago; and it is be-
ieved that it will be the first illustration
OF the practical unity OF the church on
foreign ground

A FUNNY FEATURE OF UNIVERSITY LIFE
in Washington is the quadrennial election

medical schools at this time every Presi-

these schools are employed in the depart

all want to go home to vote.

"Ha! ha! That's a capital way to get

sang out:

An Assessment Law Needed.

Modern political economists have very
slightly improved upon the old system of
taxation. In Georgia, as far as taxes are
levied for State and county purposes. it
may be said that the science of taxation
is still in swaddling clothes. The partly
honest (if that virtue can be qualifed)
and partly willing taxpayer bears more
than his share Of the burdens of the gov
eminent, and the positively dishonest ard
never willing taxpayer is COM
paratiyely free from these inroads
upon his purse. The Legislature
about to assemble can do nothing that
Will be of more service to the State than
to devise plan for the equitable assess
ment of property. If they are honest men
and true legislators they will, as soon as
they have divided the political loaves and
fishes, turn their attention to this impor-
tant matter, and give to Georgia law by
which all shall be made to bear their share
of the burdens of government according
to their ability.
A just system of taxation can only be
carried out where there are true and just
valuations of property. Taxes should be
based upon true values as near as it is
possible for human minds to fix them.
1t is not a pleasure to be taxed, and
it is probable that from the earliest ages
when people first began to live together,
and the necessities of government
required each to contribute his share to-
wards the general expense, that even the
best of men, the patriarchs of the tribes,
as it were, have endeayored to eyade pay
ing their tithes. 1t is safe to assume that
it has always been a forgiveable sin to lie
to the taX-gatherer. While the taxpayer
has generally used his best endeavors to
pay as little as possible, the government
has done just the opposite. 1t has tried
to get as much as possible, but so long as
its needs were served and the money OBJ
tanned it cared not whether the tax was
equitable on all property or not.
Let the lawmakers of Georgia be true
t. themselves, even at the risk of dis
pleasing some of their constituents, and
give to the State plan by which the bur-
dens Of government will be equitably dis
tributed.

How Napoleon Met Eugene.

1t was at ball given by President Ma
poleOn at the ElYsee, some nights before
the coup PetGt, that Mile. Eugene met
her future husband. A romance is con-
nected with this meeting. Wishing to
avoid the crowded ball rooms, Louis Ma
poleOn, with the Duke of La Moskowa,
went into the Elysee gardens, where he
suddenly came upon a radiant, blushing
girl. She was tying up her hair, alone,
opposite a glass in the conservatory. Her
hair had come down during waltz, and
the crowd was too great to admit Of her
reaching the ladies' dressing-room. She
had glided to this place, hoping to be I'M
observed. This little circumstance OF the
fall of her back hair led to her subsequent
elevation to one of the prOudest positions
ever occupied by a woman.

A North Carolina Republican stated in
Washington, Wednesday, that he was one
of a committee that went to New York
last week for the purpose of inducing the
Republican National Committee to send
S25, 900 to North Carolina to carry that
State for Blaine, and that the committee
considered the matter for several days,
and finally concluded that it couldn't
risk that much money on North Carolina.
Of course the Republicans who wanted
to spend the money are disguised and
swear that there is not now the slightest
chance for the Republicans to carry the
State. There would not have been much
of a chance if the $25, 900 proposition had
been accepted.

This has been more than a u sually eX-
pensive campaign to those who have taken
part in professions, and been prominent

State and county committees have not
been abundantly provided with funds, and
individuals have been compelled to
find their own uniforms, torches, etc.
The amount of money spent in the city of
New York has been very large. Persons

fess to be expert at numbers have under

open-air professions, torchlight and other

ably an underestimate, making a total Of
