Spectator, nth Fedyuary.1

A Reuters telegram from Madrid. publish
ed in Mondays papers, gives an interesting
account of the reception Of Marshal Campos
at Morocco city. The Sultan received the
Spanish Mission in the great square opposite
his palace, into which he rode on "a superb
milk-white charger, the MoOrs, as q rule,
have let their breed Of horses degenerate
terribly; but there are always a certain mum
Der of really fine Barbs in the Sheree6an
stables. Reuters correspondent, like all
other men who have seen Muley- Hassan
close, was very much struck by his hand
some face and noble bearing. His cOunte-
nance is open and frank, with the languishing
look so esteemed by the Moors. His face
undergoes a rapid transformation when he
opens his lips IN a smile which has som ething
in it OF bitterness or irony. He is tall and
well formed, and sits in his saddle with tho
same majestic ease as on his throne. He is
by no means a mulatto, nor of tawny hue, but of
very dark complexion" After a speech from
Marshal Campos, the Sultan replied, con-
demning the action Of the Riffs. That the
Sultan should thus publicly promise the
Christians to chastise a portion of his subjects
is regarded as a great event. Meantime, the
negotiations for an indemnity of 81, O0O, 900
seem to hang fire. The Sultan gives smooth
words, but no money.
NJ. Jules Simon, now almost the oldest of
French statesmen, has formulised Il proposal,
which has for some time been floating about
the political world, by which the insufferable
burden of universal armament might be
lightened. He proposes that universal con-
s~cription should continue, but that Europe
should agree to a treaty Of a single clause
limiting service with the colours to II single
year. This, he says, would leave The nations
equal or unequal, as at present, but would
reduce military expenditure and the loss of
productive force in each country by two
thirds. It would do nothing of the kind; for
the expenditure on staff, material, officers,
and, above all, nOn-commisSi6ned officers,
would remain nearly as heavy as before; but
we admit that it is in this direction relief
must one day be sought. The difficulty is
that many Of the Powers-Russia, for ex-
ample, and perhaps Austria, Require q
numerous army for internal purposes, and
that the populations of Europe are not equal
in their facility for acquiring discipline. A
German soldier will obey rigidly at the end
of a years training, but a French soldier will
not, while a French soldier will know how to
shoot in twelve months, and n Russian
soldier will take two years. We really think,
however, thatif the Engineers and Artillery
are excepted, Il general limit of eighteen
months might after a great war be adopted
as a universal basis, and the relief even from
that reduction would be very great. The
objection that the nations would cheat each
other is not valid. They could net do it
without revealing the fact in their accounts;
and, of course, the very idea of such a treaty
~presupposes that France and Germany would
insist on its observance under penalty of
war.

(Demerara Argo.y, 24th Feb.)

An extraordinary case of breach of contract
on the part Of labourers in tie gold-tields was
heard by Magistrate Hill in the Police Court
this week. The offenders were all quiet, or
derby men who said they liked the placer
they were working on and liked the over
seer, and were well treated but they found
Itimpossible to remain at work on account of
the ghosts that haunted the place and prevent
ed them from sleeping. The" ghosts took the
shape Of tigers, and when m attempt as
made to shoot one Of these animals it turned
itself into a white dog. The men were so
obviously sincere in giving their evidence
that the Magistrate had not the slightest
reason to suppose they were trying to deceive
him. AS it was, they had money to their
credit in the hands of the placer owners to
the amount Of ten or twelve dollars each
man, which they were willing to forfeit, ra-
Their than go back to such o haunted place.
The magistla ate said lie belle we'd some rascals
were at the bottom of The mystery and frigh-
tening the men, who were firmly convinced
that some supernatural agency was at work
against them. They were prepared to forfeit
their wages, rather than return to the place and
as twas legally necessary ~toimpose q fine
before forfeiture of wages could take effect.he
would fine them two shillings each. The men
were all quite satisfied to pay the fine and lose
their wages, rather than return to be m0lest-
eel by the ghosts on the haunted placer.

"A umour has reached us, but we are not

of the occurrence, that a man belonging to
this colony travelling on the upper reaches of

to trespass upon what he claims to be Vens-

TO The RESCUE.
Col. Rollins Satisfactorily Explains Wonder
iui Exploits Of His Hens.

Several newspapers and few of our citi-
zens have wondered how Col. Rollins l3
hens could lay lo2 eggs in seven days, but
the colonel offers an explanation. which
renders it perfectly clear to the dullest
mind.
He says that he has one hen that is blind,
and when she goes to the nest to lay, he
takes his stand near by, and, as soon as an
egg is dropped, he abstracts 1t without the
knowledge of the hen. The poor old blind
creature scratches around and as she can
fad no egg. she thinks there must
have been some mistake, and pro-
ceeds to lay smother egg, which is again
taken, and In this way it is not uncommon
for the colonel to secure five or six eggs at
one setting.
That explains the whole business and any
further criticism of his story would seem to
be uncalled for and unkind.

"DIxEY AS ApoNIs LAST EVENING. :"

"DIXEi AS ADONlS LAST EVENING"
The capacity of the Opera house was
tested last evening, the occasion being the
appearancero of Dixey in the role of Adonis,
supported BY Rice's Big Burlesque Company.
There hasn't been larger audience at the
Opera house since "l492" was put on here.
There were many from Hallowell, G.rdi-
ner and South Gardiner. A party of Bow
doin college boys occupied one of the
boxes and on the front of the
box was "a college banner, which in
the final scene appeared on the base of the
statue of Adonis. Mr.. Dixey is even more
clever than of old and the new features he
introduces make great hits. His imperson-
alton of Irving was the happiest mingling
of the marvellous and ridiculous. His sup
port was excellent throughout. Especial
mention should be made of Miss Perkins as
Rosetta. The costumes were very elabo-
rate.

74l.
Tha recapitulation table shows the total
amount of assessors returns for 1890, from
the lG counties, to be $255 ,265 ,233; for
1891, S2GO, ,7l6,l67; for 1892, s2G5.646,-
4O1 for 1898, $270,S12, 1872.
Taxes assessed on the several savings
banks semi. annually in the month of May
and November are: May, 1902 ,450.G5; !;
November, S203,57l.14.
The taxes assessed upon railroads, based
upon their earnings for the year 1892, un-
der the new law enacted by the Legislature
in 1898, giving also the tax assessed to pay
the expenses of the railroad commissioners,
is as follows: Railroad commissioners
tax total, $40, 900; excise tax $50, 10 81.
This tax is from the q railroads in the
State. The total amount of taxes assessed
upon the several loan and building associa-
tions doing business in the State, semi
annually. for May and November, is: For
May, S5l5.4S; for November, S49S.1S.
Total amount of taxes assessed upon the
telegraph and telephone companies, $ll,-
2OS. 40; total on express companies, $4,-
256.8O.
The board of State assessors have been
greatly encouraged in their work the pres
ent year by the wonderfully incre ased at
tendance at the county conventions held by
them in each and every county in the State.
The leading citizens have attended these
meetings as we'll as the assessors. The
deep interest manifested in these meetings,
the desire for fuller knowledge as to how
the assessors of other municipalities do
their business, and a craving for more in
formation of the law relating to assess
ments, and the classes of property that can
be legally taxed, augers we'll for the future
usefulness of the board, and shows con-
clusively the wisdom of our lawmakers in
giving the board the compulsory" amend
ments of the law asked for last winter.
There seems to be mistaken idea preva-
lent with very many of the local assessors,
and also in the minds of large number of
taxpayers that the property for the purpose
of taxation should be valued at lower rate
than for other purposes, hence the wonder
with them has been why their town, or class
of property, was valued so much higher by
the State assessors than by their local board.
The State assessors recognize no such val
ues. 1t can make no difference to any city,
town or property holder, provided the valu-
stion is equally apportioned among the diff
ferent municipalities, whether the State as
SCISSORS Fl upon forced sale value, Is
per cent value, a so per cent. value, or
full fair value between seller and puy-
chaser. In 1892 there we're Ill cities,
towns and plantations represented by local
assessors at the county conventions. In
| 1898 there were 404.
