Cactus Calling Cards.

Many are the uses to which the cac.
tus is put, but one of the queerest is
that which prevails in Cape Town,
South Africa, where cactus leaves are
made to serve the purpose of visiting
cards. The leaves of the special kind
OF cactus used for this purpose are not
very prickly, however, and further
more, these unique cards are not car.
ried about, but are left growing on the
plant which stands at the foot of the
front steps. When lady calls she has
only to take out her hatpin and scratch
her name on the glossy surface of one
of the leaves, while a gentleman ac-
complishes the same end with his knife.
The lines thus scratched turn silver
white and remain clear and distinct on
the leaf for years. New Years day
these cactus cards are particularly con-
venient. and popular hostesses often
appropriate d large branch of their cac-
tus plant to the registry of visits re-
ceived that day.-St. Louis Globe DEM

Importins Oaifon.

Shipping cotton to the United States would seem at first glance 6 good deal like carrying coal 10 Newcastle. but. nevertheless. the exportation of forty thousand bales from Egypt to Ameri- can ports shows that the demands Of business are no respecters of proverbs. The Egyptian cotton coming to this country Is largely taken by New Eng land mills. which Ind 1t useful for glv- Ing silken gloss to many textures, Its resemblance to the finest Sea Island cotton which has been noted is thus accounted for by MT. D. A. Tompkins. prominent manufacturer at Charlotte. N. c. He says that the improvement of cotton culture in Egypt ia due to the ex-confederate officers who. at the close of the rebellion, entered the khe- dives army. They imported Into Egypt a large quantity of the seed of the Sea Island cotton, which. planted in '"S 1hy P'ihH leius, pFpuusSd tuc ilne staple for which there Is now so much demand. Mir. Tompkins holds that cot ton culture In the south has not i'm proved since the war. and that what has been gained In speed has been lost in fineness. To-day cotton is rushed to the gin, whereas in old times cotton was stored some time before ginning. the fibre absorbing just enough oil from the seed which gave 1t some of that brown color and silky luster pccu- liar now to the Egyptian cotton" With return to more leisurely or care full methods of preparing for the market he believes the glossy fineness of the staple can be regained, and his views have received the incorsement of southern papers, which seem to be greatly disturbed by Egyptian compe- tition, though the entire cotton crop of Egypt Is not one-tenth that of the Uni ted States.

Catching Bass With a Blow Gun.

With this number the undersigned
assumes the editorial management
and publication of The 1Egis and IN
telligencer. In doing so he desires to
inform the readers of the paper that
no change will be made in it's princi
Piles or policy. The retiring editor,
Mr.. Frederick w. Baker, elevated the
paper to the highest plane of country
journalism, by maintaining fearlessly
what he believed to be right by a
strict regard for accuracy in the pre-
sentation of news by consideration
for the feelings and opinions of others,
and by moderate and conservative
course in all things. 1t is the desire
and shall be the aim of his successor
to maintain The 1Egts at its present
standard. In his efforts to accomplish
this he respectfully solicits the kind
aid of every reader of the paper.
In the future, as in the past, The
1Egis will be prominently the home
paper of Hartford county. Its present
high moral standard will be main
tanned. Its pages shall not be sullied
by anything that might bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of mod
esty, and every good and worthy cause
will have in it a friend and advocate
The farmers of Hartford will find
The Kgts, as they have ever found it,
a staunch advocate of their especial
interests. In short, the welfare and
prosperity of Hartford county will be
fostered and promoted by The Kgis
in every legitimate manner.
Believing that the principles of the
Democratic party, when given practi-
cal effect, will secure the best govern
ment, the politics of the paper will be
unchanged. 1t will continue to main
tain and uphold Democracy with the
same zeal and devotion which has
marked the course of the paper for
more than a quarter of a century,
Recognizing neither individuals nor
combinations and believing that no
man can be greater than his party,
the independence of the paper, with
in Democratic lines, is assured.
With this brief statement of his po-
sition and aims the undersigned solic-
it's the continued support of the pa
irons of The Kgis, assuring them that
nothing will be left undone on his
part to minister, through the columns
of the paper, to their enjoyment and
pleasure, and aid them in the promo
ton of every worthy business enter
prise.

THE HA YES BILL KILLED.

A brief dispatch from Annapolis to
The 1Egis, last Thursday afternoon,
announced that the homogeneous and
much-mixed assessment bill had been
laid ON the table in the House of De-
legates, by vote of 58 to 81. The
friends and opponents of the bill were
not divided by party lines, for an
analysis of the vote shows that 43
Democrats and 10 Republicans voted
against it and % Democrats and 8 Re-
publicans voted for the bill. Both
parties, therefore, share whatever re-
sponsibility may exist for the defeat
of the bill. While the reasons that in
fiuenced individual members to vote
against the bill can only be conjectur-
ed, it would be unjust to assume that
they were actuated by any but con-
scientious motives and it is fair to sup
pose that they believe the bill
would not secure equitable tax
alton nor benefit the material
interests of the State. No unpreju-
diced man will pretend to say that
when the delegation of prominent, in
f1uential and highly-respected mer-
chants of Baltimore city went to An
napolis and protested against the bill
as calculated to do injury to our great
metropolis, their protest should not
have been needed; nor can it reason
ably be urged that they were actuated
by selfish motives. Their conduct in
public and private affairs in the past
is a sufficient answer to any such
charge.
AS has been pointed out in these
columns the utmost new assessment
could do in Hartford county would be
to equalize taxation in some degree;
but it seems evident that if land should
be assessed lower personal property
would have to be assessed higher than
it now is, if the basis of taxation is to
be kept up. This could not fail to be
a hardship upon persons who own
little or no land, whose assets consist
chiefly in personal property. The
land in Hartford county was assessed
at period when farming lands were
in demand and sold at fair prices
Now land is difficult to sell for the
cost of the improvements upon it, and
if it should all be rated lower, how
much better off would we be? County
expenses would have to be paid and
the rate, instead of being 70 cents ON
the 800 might be 100 cents. A high
tax rate would discourage outside in
vestors from coming to Hartford to buy
lands or from engaging in any manu-
featuring industry here. Therefore,
the defeat of this assessment bill is no
loss to us.
A bill is before the Legislature to |
empower the County Commissioners
to equalize assessments. While they
can not do this perfectly they can cor
rect glaring inequalities in land values
and save the county the expense of a !
new assessment. The tax collectors |
already have power to make new as
sessments of personal property or to |
assess improvements. An earnest eff |
fort on the part of the County Com
missioners and tax collectors might |
add to the assessable basis of personal
property, and with increased powers
granted to the Commissioners with re-
spect to land values much of the ex-
listing inequality can be rectified with
but little expense to taxpayers.

well for the Sheriff of each county to
