TO TAXPAYERS.

There is some talk in official cir
cles that the assessor and tax COL
lector Of old Alturas county will
make the round through the segre-
gated portions Of Bingham, Logan
and Gilmore counties, and endeavor
to assess property as though the d.
vision bill had not been passed BY
the Legislature. and declared con-
stitutional by the Supreme Court Of
this Territory. We do not believe
that the assessor Of Alturas county
will get 80 far out of his bailiwick
as to come across the line into e.
more county to assess property
here, but it can d. no harm to Put
our citizens on their guard. 90 that
they will not be caused any incon-
venienoe if he should cha zee to do
any such hish-handed act contrary
to law. The taxpayers of Elmore
county are cautioned against pay
ing out any money for taxes to any
person Whatsoever who will not give
receipt therefor in the name Of
Gilmore county. To a property
owner of Gilmore county a tax re.
ceipt from the collector of Alturae
county is not worth the paper it il
printed on. A resident of Elmore
county who pays taxes on property
here to tho collector Of Alturat
county will have to pay the same
over again to the Elmore collector
Consequently, it bchooves all good
citizens to make sure they are pay.
ing their money to the proper mar
appointed for the purpose, when
they como to put up their good
hard dollars, and not throw any
away by paying to collector from
some other county.

NOT DEAD. BUT SLEEPING.

Some Of the people of Alturas
County, notably Commissioners
Plugoff and Newman, and the edi-
tor of the Wood River Times, are
not dead, but sleeping. They must
be crowded, too, for they sleep three
in bed. They will be awakened
one of these days, however, and
brought up with round turn that
will cause their teeth to chatter and
make them wonder why they didn't
exercise better judgment in the d.
vision matter. The two commits
sioners above mentioned held q
meeting last week and adjourned
sine die without having appointed
an expert to confer with H. F.
Baker and c. E. Corker, who have
been appointed experts from Logan
and Gilmore counties respectively to
meet, together with representatives
from Alturas and Bingham coun-
ties, and pro rata the assets and
liabilities thereof among Alturas,
Logan, Bingham and Gilmore coun-
ties. Such non-action of the Altu-
ras commissioners was upheld by
the Wood River Times Of the 18th
instant by an editorial headed THE
Board Stands Pat" and in which
article it refers to the division bill -
having unconstitutional provisions.
The commissioners also appointed
road supervisors in all the old dis
tricts % though the division bill
had not been passed. But, gentle.
men, the bill has been passed and
declared constitutional by the gu.
preme Court of this Territory. Now,
TO whom or what are you going t.
appeal? The road supervisors you
have appointed in Logan aud FL.
moro counties will not act under
your appointment, and would not
be allowed to even if they desired &c
do 30. The Alturas assessor and
tax collector will not be permitted

sioners Of Alturas county, by fool
ishly refusing to appoint an exper
according to the provisions Of tn
bill, have thrown themselves liabl
to impeachment. In fact, thcs
glorious commissioners, who hav
taken the law into their own hands
are costing Alturas county thirty o
forty dollars day in interest alon
on the debt Of the county. Just a
soon as the expert is appointed

This cemetery covers fifteen and half acres,

which Jackson repulsed Pakenhams men and
saved New Orleans during the war OF 1872 IA,
which event is duly COMMUNICATED on the sth
Of January every year by the people OF the
Crescent City. The cemetery wall crosses the
line of earthworks thrown up by the Ameri-
cans, and on which the cotton bales were placed
TO give dditional protection from the bullets OF
the invaders. The location Is greatly unlike
that at Vicksburg. Here the ground is as level
as "A floor, with the surface OF the river above,

rounding country and city only by mere wall OF

cemetery is the tall shaft built in 1885 by Con-
gress in honor of Jackson's victory. 1t shows
the effects of time, the brick foundation is mol

Congressional Library Rules.

The families of national legislators
seem to read an immense number of
books. The daughters are especially
voracious. They will go to the library
at 10 in the morning and keep an assis-
tant busy until late in the afternoon
looking up books for them, which are
carried to their homes by men servants
whom they bring with them for that
purpose. They repeat the programme
the next week. 1t is quite evident that
they could not read tenth of these
books, and the fact is they do not.
They lend them to their friends whose
fathers are non official, and, therefore,
have not the free privileges of the Ii
brary. This is against the rules. But
rules are flexible for those connected
with the government whirl at Washing
ton. That is, be it distinctly understood,
while they are in the whirl. For those
who are not, the rules are as the laws
of those much quoted Medes and Per-
sians.-NelU York Star.

A Muskrat on His Mettle.

A number of years ago, while L was
hunting muskrats i'll marsh on Long
Island sound, there being several feet
of snow on the ground, L chanced to
get myself in between one of these
animals and its burrow, which hap
pened to be the only means, beyond
his running away from me, that pre-
sented itself for his escape. He took
in the situation at a glance, and 1 was
curious to see what he would do about
it. Imagine my surprise when he
started to come down for me as fast as
his legs could carry him, and in a few
moments he was too close for me to
shoot without tearing his beautiful
pelt all to shreds, for 1 at once saw
that he was an unusually handsome
specimen, and to thus spoil him would
be a great shame. When within
about yard of me, and his eyes flash
ed out their meaning at thus being
cornered, he, without moments hesi-
tation, made spring at me and land
ed on the top of one of my leather
shooting boots, pair that came above
my knees. In an instant he COM
menced tearing away with his teeth at
a great rate, but before he had bitten
anything but my boot L grabbed him,
and humping his head against the
heel of my gun he was rendered life
less. This formed the only case of a
muskrat attacking a man that has ever
come to me, and in this particular in
stance 1 admired the little brute's
bravery all the more after L found that
he possessed but three legs, one of
them having long since been amputated
high up, probably in a steel trap, but
the stump was perfect, and he had the
blacklist hair of any muskrat ever
saw Forest n1ld Stream

Glorious years, whose splendor brishtens the
kaleidoscope OF time!
Still their specter hands have swayed US, reach
ing upward from the grave
And they still shall guide the nation which they
gave their lives to save
For they did the deeds OF ritans, and from shin
ing sea to sea
Left our starry banner floating DER land re-
deemed and free;
And where'er their bones are resting, tho their
name no mortal knows
Liberty shrine is keeping whore the fro OF
freedom glows.
But, alas the mounds grow thicker with each
swift returning year,
And they sleep who stood beside us when the
last sweet May WAS here
Soldiers OF the great Grand Army! You who
onco stood side by side
With the comrades who are sleeping meath tile
flag for which they died,
You who marched through hailng bullets and
stood face to face with death,
Yet escaped from his embraces, though you felt
his fiery breath,
By the love YOU bore the comrade who fell by
your side that day,
Who had shared with you the marches and the
foray or the fray,
Guard tho memory OF the fallan-koep it free
from every stain,
Let no envious tongue defame them, and no
traitorous heart arIain;
Yours the triumph and rejoicing, and the vic
tors crown of bay,
Theirs the suffering and the silence, aud tho
low-arched roof of clay
Yours the Joys of use and labor, but beneath
your marching feet
Lie their manhood's pride and yalor, and their
hopes as fair and sweet;
Hearts that beat with love and daring, hands
that held sacred trust
And fulfilled 1t nobly g-andly, now are only
heaps OF dust
Since YOU marched with them to battle shared
their danger and their pain,
You are heirs of all their glory-let them not
have died in vain
Soldiers of the Silent Armyl You whose half
told DAYS shall shine
On the calendar Of ages with n radiance divine
You whose memory is the anchor OF our coun-
try's storm toss sed bark,
Binding her 10 truth and freedom when the skies
are veiled and dark;
You whose sghtless eyes behold us, and whose
shadowy forms are near
Rouse your spirits from their slumbers and our
heartfelt pledges hear
BY the sky which arches DER you, bright with
summers loveliest blue,
By the garlands that we bring you smiling
through their tears OF dew
By each fond remembrance clinging to the
earthly forms you wore,
BY each heart that broke with anguish when
YOU fell to rise no more,
By each hope that faded with you from loves
shining morning sky,
BY each life whose JOY departed when you laid
YOU down to die,
BY the banner that you gave US, free from every
spot aud STAIN
Never, while the crimson life-blood courses
swiftly through each vein,
Shall the land which you enfranchised bear a
tyrant or a slave
While its soil supports footstep or its depths
