Tie dortg sa-Ta1 tt,on Question.

In your editorial of last week ynu refer
to taxation of mortgages in the State:
| but are not mortgages held out of the
| State the same as other securities, ex-
| cept Government bonds, subject to taxa
ton in the hands of the holder? Hold
| erS of real estate are taxed on all they
have i'll that class of property. The
| farmer is assessed on his farm, tools, live
Stcck-his dog, even-while the money
! lender security holder outside of the
state escapes taxation on loans, which
could be found if an assessment was
made yearly by person who would not
fear to do what was his duty. If our
County Commissioners would leave out
the appointment of collectors for the
present year it would save to the people
some -, 900, am told, in this county
alone, and the commissioners would, with
perhaps the exception of those who
aspire to be collectors, receive the thanks
of all taxpayers in the county. 1t is
generally understood that the duty of an
assessor is to list all property he can
find, both real and personal, and can,
without consulting the owner of any
class of taxable property, list such
amounts and kinds as he is supposed to
have-anything in the way OF mortgages
outside of the State, any money oat at
interest; in fact, any securities in or out
of the State, except Government and
State bonds within the State in which
he lives. To return to the taxation of
mortgages and who should pay them: it
seems no more than right that the lender
should pay the taxes The question has
been when money could be loaned out
side of the State at higher rate Of in
terest than 6 per cent, it would be
loaned outside, and would be hard to
obtain at the lawful rate of interest; but
such is not the case at the present time
1t looks as if it would be some time be-
fore there will be much inducemeLt to
lend money at a niger rate of interest
outside than can be procured on good Sc.
curities within the State--that is, good
farm mortgages. Really it does not
make much difference whether the lender
or borrower pays the taxes. If the lat
ter pays the tax, of course, he will want
higher rate OF interest What is of
more consequence is to have all property
holders taxed equally, and the time has
come when the people demand it.

THE MIDDLETOWN CANAL.
" hat Damage the Owners of Land Wan
From he Canal Proprietor.s

What Damage the Owners of Land Want
From he Canal rroprietor.s
Last November Maxwells Hotel at
Mddletown, Del was the scene of much
able argument, discussion beng caused
by the meeting of the commission APP
pointed to award damages to property
through which the proposed canal is to
be cut. The commission seemed to have
given satisfaction to all the land owners
except Messrs. George w. w. Naudain
aud Joseph b. Deakyne, who reside in
Mlddletown, and own property in the
vicinity Of Blackbird The first-named
gentleman was awarded 8, 800 damages
by the commission; this he considered
Insufficient and took au appeal. Mr..
Deakyne was allowed $1,000; he, too,
refused to accept the award, and also
appealed. Many people said at the time
that, taking all things into considera-
ton, the amount of damages LAID on each
property on the entire route of the biz
ditch was fair especially when the real
value of the land was considered.
Last Saturday jury consisting of
Thomas r. Lally, William f. Cleayer,
Samuel L. Silver, William F. Smalley,
John Pyle, Samuel Roberts, Vincent O.
Hill, II. L. Armstrong, James L. Dcker-
son, c. II. Salmon and Joseph L. Car
penter, Jr., went over the ground on
both the disputed tracts and after care
fully looking into the matter they went
to the dwelling on Mr.. Deakyne's farm
where argument was heard on both
sides. John Biggs, Esq, represented
the canal company while Messrs. Bird
and Sanborn argued for the land owners.
All points bearing on the case were
thoroughly and ably discussed by coun-
sci on each side. The jury did not re-
qnire much time to arrive at decision
which the foreman announced as fol-
lows: To G.. w. w. Naudain s.. SIG was
awarded, which is only $40 more than
the commission awarded in November
last. To Joseph Is. Deakyne $4,65S was
awarded: this is a342 less than was al
lowed by the November commission. OF
course neither of the gentlemen has
gained anything by the appeal. While
Mr. Naudain receives SIG more from the
canal company he has considerable ex-
pense to defray, and Mr.. Deakyne has
his share of expense and considerably
less money, it would no doubt have been
better had they accepted the first offer.
But when man sees his property cnt
up he does net at all times feel willing to
submit 50 easily. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the commission of November
last did its work WELL

Window and EIopeS.
\ special from Leaveuworth tells the
romantic story of how a young editor
eloped with a pluchy cdpretty girl. The
report says: James A. Gustin, of Edger-
ton, Mo, and formerly editor of the
Conrio there, for some time has been
devotIng his attentions to pretty Miss
Eliza Bruce, daughter, of well-todo
citizen of that village. For some time
the parents of the young lady objected to
Mr.. GuStln 5 attention to their daugh
ter. Saturday Mr.. Gustin went to Leaven
worth to arrange an elopement and mar
riage. He secured the Rev A. White of
the Christian church, to perform the GER
emory, procured a license and returned
to Etgerton for his bride. He arrived
there at nine o'clock, and while several
of Miss Bruce's young lady friends en-
crossed her parents attention, she slid
down a rope from second story window,
jumped into her lovers sleigh, and at
three O'Clock the runaway couple arrived
i'll Leavenworth, soon after which they
were made one. The affair has caused a
widespread sensation in Chicago and
vicinity. All are highly respected. The
parents of the bride are disposed to take
a sensible view of the matter and will
make no further demonstrations.

A Kings PriYnta Circus.

Among tho follies of Bavaria's late
king not generally known was the ercc-
tion of circus on the first floor of the
royal palace at Munich. The ceiling was
made to initiate the skies at night time,
with the moon and stars, lit up from be-
hiud by electric lights. On the walls
were series of colorcd frcscocs, repre-
senting various country scenes, including
an Italian capanns, a French aubcrge and
Swiss chalet. The monarch and his
guests, twenty in number, first went to
the theatre; they then returned 10 the
palace and supped. About 2 in the
morning tho king ordered his favorite
charger, and mounting, invited his
friends to follow him. Their horses
were brought up, and as soon as they
were all in the saddle, his majesty rode
of into the circus The royal party gal
loped round the ring several times; the
king stopped, descended, and tapped at
the door of the capanna. Suddenly the
door opened as if by magic, and crowd
of persons emerged from it. They were
dressed in the different country costumes
of Italy, and bore baskets of fruit, cake
and wine, of which the guests partook.
During the repast an invisible choir sang
Italian airs, accompanied by a brass
band. His majesty again mounted his
charger, and followed by his friends, rode
round tho circus once more. lie now
knocked at the door of the aubergc, and
French peasants came out with more
wine and eotables, which thepoor guests,
already surlcitcd, were bound to con-
sumo rather than offend Their eccentric
host. The musicians here executed fa.
voritC French songs. The same perform
ance was gone through ut the chalet, and
then the king, at A. 80 IN the morning,
abruptly withdrew, leaving his compan-
ions more dead than alive. .-PuW Mall

A Wise Conclusion.

One summer evening after Harry and his
little sister Helen had been put to bed o
severe thunder storm came up.
Their cribs stood side by side, and
their mother, in the next room, heard
them as they sat up in bed and talked, in
low voices, about the thunder and light
ming.
They told each other their fears.
They were afraid the lightning would
strike them.
They wondered if they would be
killed right off and whether the house
would be burned up, They trcmblcd
afrcsh at each peal.
But tired nature could not hold out as
long as the storm.
Harry became very sleepy, and at last
with renewed cheerfulncss in his voice,
he said, rs he laid his head on the pill
low: "Wcli, I'm going to trust in God"
Little Helen sat a minute longer think
ing it over, and then laid her own little
head down, saying, "Well, | dess l will
tool"
And they both went to sleep without
more words. - Youth's Companion.
