Its southwestern border. Perchs has
long been known fol. its splendid breed
OF horses, which have been reared with
much care and jealousy, and which date
back in breeding to Arabian blood.
Normandy has also its breed Of horses
equally ancient but coarser and heavier;
they were used a thousand years ago III /
war when an enormous weight OF steel
armour was borne, both by the rider ana !
the horse. To bear the burden, and tsy5
ride down an opponent by mere force Of
shock, very heavy horses were rcqu red,
rather than more active ones, and the,
Norman horses thus became, as they are
still, they heaviest race known. The
Percherons, on the other hand, were used
for carriages, and are now the stage;
omnibus and diligence horses Of the
country, able to trot with ease ten miles
an hour, with a heavy vehicle behind
them: These are consequently more
finely built, have harder and finer bone,
and while quite heavy, look lighter than
they really are, because Of their fine
proportions, due to their Arabian ances-

We notice that it Is the prevalent opin-
ion that the recent assessment Of Bill
lings county BY Stark county is for the
purpose Of levylng territorial tax.
How this impression has gained ground
issamystery, as the assessment 10 strictly
and solely county tax and Is entirely
for the use and behoof Of Stark county.
It seems that the idea Of this being q
territorial tax has come from Stark
county and IL DO, goes to prove what We
thoroughly believe, that the law empoW-
ering senior counties to tax Junior 2coun-
ties is institutional. All debts con-
tracted by senior COMMITTEES to pay expen-
sos Of unorganized counties are finally
paid BY the territory. Where then is the
justice OF thesenior counties being twice
paid for those expensssf Itwonld be d
good plan to have this matter carefully
considered BY onr citizens. and II deemed
advisable, to mako q test case aud decide
the constitutionality Of the Law. IN any
event, every one who pays taxes ta Stark
county should do SO under protest 50
that In case q test case should be tried

The division idea is again being forced.
on the people by newspapers whose
editors see some official pap in the dim
future. It is needless to hope for a time
when the press and political leaders Of
Dakota Will unite for admission Of Dakota
as a whole, to make in the future one Of
the best Of states. The animus Of the!
whole division movement arises from the.
desire Of Dakota's numerous political
aspirants to double the number Of state
Offices and thereby bs more certain Of an
Office for themselves. We hayenot;; do
not and never will uphold tie action q
these politicians in trying to increase
the burden Of taxation for their own
benefit. Spot ! divisionist as an axe
grinder every time.

A BIG Attraction.

Among the many features to be seen
in the museum of Frank a. Robbins
New Show, which will exhibit here
on the 22d, is Aimee, the Tatooed
Lady. She is in fact living art gal
lery, there being no less that 200 diff
erent objects wrought in red and blue
ink upon her fair skin. They resem-
BILE all sorts of beasts, designs and Sc
cret emblems. Mile. Aimee has re-
markable history, having been born
in the ancient city, st. Augustine,
Florida, where she was society lady
much sought after by the elite of the
city. Her father, who was sea cap
tain, had mania for tatooing aud
had subjected his sailors to the most
fearful torture to satisfy his morbid
desire. On one of his voyages to the
Pacific Ocean his wife and beautiful
daughter accompanied him: His
vessel was captured by tho South Sea-
Islanders, who, when they saw the
wonderful marks upon the bodies OF
the crew, and learned that the cap
tain was the author of the strange do
wise, insisted upon his tatooing his
own wife and daughter. She is re-
markable handsome and intelligent
lady, and is always pleased to con-
verse with her visitors and relate her
wonderful story.
