right to be is shown from the follow
ing taken from that paper: Yesterday
their 8 year-old daughter, Lizzie, ap-
peared to be possessed with the one
thought of music, and while sitting
at the piano, as was her won't, and
playing simple accompaniment, the
mother was surprised to hear the
notes offs beautiful waltz emit from
the piano. She quickly left the room
and summoned her husband, who
being an expert musician, stood by
with pencil and ruled paper and took
down the music as the notes were
played. He did not catch the entire
piece, however, but as the child
moved away, he took her seat at the
piano, and supplying the few notes
he had not caught rehearsed the
piece, Every tone was found in place
and the harmony exact. The music
is certainly original, for the child has
no musical education, being unable
to play moro than the simplest chords.

A NATIONS GREAT WEALTH
It Shows Well On Paper According
to the Census.

The United States Census Bureau has is
sued bulletin on the subject of assessed
valuation of property in the United States
in 1890. The bulletin shows that the value
of. all property, excluding railroad property,
except in certain specified States, has in
creased from SIG, 902,, 1898, 543 in 1885, to s24,-
651, ,6S5, 465 in 1890. an increase during the
decade of 81, 74S, 591. .929, or 1854 per cent.
Should it be found upon the completion OF
the inquiry in relation to the true value OF
all property in the United States, that the
same relation exists in 1890. between the as
sassed valuation and the real valuation al;
existed in 1880, the absolute wealth OF the
United States, according to the Eleventh
Census, may be estimated at 1863, Gas, 900, 900
Or more than $1,000 per capita. against S5l4
per capita in 1850, $3.50 per capita in 1876
and $87O per capita in 1880.
Owing, however, to the fact that in some
States property is assessed at its full value
and in others at only fraction of its value,
comparison of the wealth OF the States is
quite impossible. In some States, too the
lists of the kinds of taxable property vary
greatly from those in others.

buildings and entailing total loss of $780,
900, of which $50, ,090 is to the streets. The

feet deep, and all enptying into the fats in

In places quilted from four to six feet deep.
Necriy every basems snt in the business part

throughout the city will reach $50. 00o. The
storm was general throughout that locality.
The property loss will reach far into the
millions. At Titusville the loss is estimated
