1mnortant Ruling in Assessments.

The decision of the supreme court in
the case of Freeman VS.. Grigsby was
something which Judge Skinner called
the attention of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS to yesterday. Freeman was an
assessor in one of the parishes. He
furnished Grigsby, a contractor. with
a blank in due season and directed him
to fill it out. Grigsby refused. When
the assessor called upon him personally
and directed him to make his proper re-
turn, Grigsby refused again, whereupOn
the assessor levied what he, in his judy
ment thought a proper and equitable as
sessment. Grigsby took the case to
court, and the supreme tribunal had no
titled Mr.. Grigsby that he had no stand
ing in the court 1t all. The assessor
had presented him with Il blank and he
had refused to fill it in. The assessor
assessed according to what he had be-
fore him, which he had q perfect right
to do.
Mr.. Skinner said that this was some
thing for the mem Der of the State Board
of Assessors to take cognizance of, to
show the man who refused to fill in his
blank that if he persisted, aud the as
sessor filled it in, he would have no
standing before the court,-PicaHSa%ae.

Chicaeo-Bustle and SLOUGH.

In general, we live beneath a sky
within a sky, and our funeral pail,
while it occasionally lightens, seldom
lifts altogether. Whether the newcomer
approaches along the bluffs and ravines
Of the north or through the swamps
and marshes of the south or over the
wide stretching prairies of the west
the dun trappings of the great horror
show from afar. AS he rattles along
through perky suburban settlements
Or honest truck farms or half dried
ewales and disheveled swamps the
horror grows.
Across the wide fields-gay with this
years flowers or somber with last
years weeds-separatin the raw hud-
dies of workers cottages, tangles of
telegraph poles and of trolley wires,
lead on the eye toward ugly, shape
less hulks looming above the dingy
Observation-Disclosures elevators, machine
shops, breweries, factories, icehouses-
detached notes that preclude the great
discord to come Then avenues Of
tracks, shut in by the shameless backs
of things and spanned by grimy via
ducts; arrays of mean streets doggedly
curtained against the sun and resolute-
ly fighting off the sweet country airs.
The heart sinks, the stomach re-
volts as. through dirt, dust, CRIME, SCOT,
smoke and cinders the trembling neo-
phyte bumps and jars along toward
the -besmirched shrine of the two faced
goddess of Bustle and Slouch.-Henry

GIurronous Bass.

'sTalk about sharks" said an Orange
county lake fisherman; Il don't believe
they are in it for promiscuous diet with
the black bass.
II was fishing one day with very
large minnow on a big hook. had a
bite and hooked a bass. 1t was a big
one and gave me as pretty fight as
l ever saw till it broke the leader at
the point where it is attached to the
line and got away.
1--WE fished in other parts of the lake
after that and finally started to the
landing, the guide rowing while / skit-
tered with a minnow. We were pass
ing close by the place where had lost
the fish in the morning when | saw a
Lass dart for my bait. l gave it time
to swallow and then struck. When
got the fish into the boat. l saw a
three foot leader sticking out of its
mouth. 1t was the leader l had lost
in the morning. When | cut the bass
open, there was the same big club it
had taken from my line, and it came so
nearly filing the fsh's nav that the
tail of the last minnow was sticking
out of the mouth. There wasn't room
for it in the interior of the bass" New

Much unnatural history has been writ
ten of the owls, and unfortunately most
people have their ideas of them from the
poets The owl is not moping, nor mourn
ing, nor melancholy, neither is he dolor-
Gus nor mournful. He is neither grave
monk, nor anchorite, nor pillared saint.
Poets write by day and owls fly by night,
and doubtless Mr. Gray and his school
have their opinion of owls from staring at
stuffed specimens in glass cases. or at the
birds of wisdom surprised in the full light
of day. when they will be seen blinking,
ogling. nodding and kissing at each other,
very unlike representatives of Minerva.
Christopher North is the only author
who has done justice to the owls. or JUS
tice 10 the poets, for the matter of that,
by his denunciation OF their epithets and
false images He knew well that the
white owl never mopes. but holds its rev.
els through the Iivelong night, when all
else is hushed and still.-Cornhill Mega

Absurd Fashions.

Some of the fashions in France dur
ing the reign of Queen Marie were ex-
ceedingly absurd. particularly hair
dressing and hats, which were trim
med with such an extravagant wealth
Of feathers that the coaches had to
have their seats lowered. According
to Nine. Campan. mothers and hus-
bands murmured, and the general ru-
NOR was that the queen would ruin the
French ladies'"
One day Louis XVI decided to for
bid the court in a body to follow the
royal hunt in coaches. In order to be
freer he wished only to permit real
sportsmen to attend. The noble la
dies Immediately rebelled, and the
Princess of Monaco criticised the deci-
sion by means of her headdress. upon
which arose a miniature royal coach,
followed by two gentlemen on foot in
CATERS. On the left of this was dis
played a cypress garnished with black
tears, the large roots being formed of
Grape.
More absurd still was the hairdress-
ing of the mother OF Louis Philippe,
upon whose head every one could adj
mire her son, the Due de Beaujolais,
in The arms of his nurse as well as a
parrot pecking at cherry.

Innanese Fern balls.

The lack of success of which some
people complain in the care of fern
balls is due probably to one of the fol-
lowing causes: Either a cheap and
worthless ball was purchased or it has
not been kept properly damp, says
Home Notes.
1t is no good to give the fern an oc-
casional soaking and then let it get
bone dry 1t must be kept steadily
damp. A good plan is to put up hook
over the sink in the buffers pantry and
to hang it there to drain after its daily
tub The daily tub of lukewarm water
is necessary for the well being of a
