Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana,
and perhaps other statesman,
will be interested in some sound
ings recently takon by the New
Oilenus Tunes. That paper
prints Walter II. Long's recollec
lious of a contract signed by
Kellogg, nianchard, Catltu and
others on August 15, 1873. Iiy
the terms of the agtcemeut Cat
liu was to testify to the bribeiy
of six State Senator, and to re

house, with a dead-head govern

dirty work aud get a dead head
place that would pay (125 a
month. Blanchard was to re
ceive 139,000 in casli and a salary
of 1150 a month. Kellogg was
to take his reward in a general
way. The C'alliu mentioned wan
appointed recently to a United

Au exchange aayai "A new
swindle is being attempted in
some parts of the country. Last
fall, traveling salesmen disposed
of a. lot of top buggies to farmers
and others at 100 apiece, now a
re;oud gang is going around
claiming that they bold chattel
mortgages of $50 on each vehicle.
Some have given up their car
riages, while others will contest
the matter." '
Aliudiug to this matter, the
Haouibal Ciipver remarks '
''Some 'of this class of vnhicles
were sold litre on Saturday at
ruinous figures ranging from 132
to 935, ftud it was claimed that
ouly 1.41) was made, on each
buggy. ThU, it would seem,

expended iu their sale, lot alone
the board per day of those iu
charge of them, which lends us
to'remark that the vehicles must
be fearfully and wonderfully
made or else tbeie Is little profit
in the buggy business at these
prices."
American Beef.
London Truth, iu an article on
the prejudices of the English
people against America:! beef,
says :
"A year ago American beef
could be distinguished owing to
it dark color. This, however,
is no longer the case, this dark
tinge having been caused by the.
cloth in which it used to be en
closed. At present it is impos
sible to distinguish it from Eng
lish beef, or from beef or bernst
killed iu England."
XI ii t for 1ht unfairness of the
British butchers iu selling Ameri
can as British beef, the British
people could purchase ibeir ucat
at go-ally reduced prices. The
aveiage sale iu London of Ameri
can beef is computed at about
3,000 quarters per week uud
there are not half a doiteu butch
ers in Loudon who do not sell it.
Oi' thii lli ftuegoing journnl
says that only about 300 quarters
are retailrd as American, the
rest being sold, at exlor'iouate
prices, as English beef.

A Kerned r for Neuralgia.
The Paris correspondent of the
Boston Courier, referring to his
recovery from a dangerous ill
ness, says : "I mention this ill
ness that I may tell you how
easily I was cured. I was bent
double. I could not ' breathe.
My physician orderod me to take
a flat-Iron aud heat it as hot as 1
could bear it, put a double fold
of flannel on the paiuful part, and
move the iron to and fro on the
flannel. I was cured as if by
enchautment. My doctor told
mo that aoiuj time since a pro
fesBor in one of our colleges, after
suffering some days with uenral-
gia iu the head, which ho himself
had tried to cure, Rent for the
former, who prescribed a hot
flat-iron. Tim next time the
doctor saw the professor the lat
ter exclaimed, 'I had no sooner
applied the heated iron to my
head than instautly nil paiu had
vanished.'
The Breastplate Cnntrororty.
From I he Plattsburg I.ercr.
Did Federal soldiers wear
breastplates t A cood deal of
ink has recently been shed in
controversy. Confederate soldi
ers asserting, aud Federal soldi
ers denying it.- Both beem to
assume that it would be a dis
grace if it cotild be proved. Au
inference of cowardice seems
rather a large deduction from so
slight a premise.. Breastplates,
shields aud armor have gencrully
beeu discarded because they ate
heavy aud obstruct au army, and
for no other reason. Romans
and Spartans wore them ; Span
iards uud French wore them ;
and it is no more cowardly for a
mao to go to battle with armor
on than for n ship to be ironclad
or a fort to have a thick wall.
For generations it was consider
ed a sign ot cowardice and effe
minacy for men to cany un urn
hrella, and when Jo mm Uanwti)
summoned the moral courage
thus to protect himself from the
rain he was hissed aud hooted iu
London streets. It ii doubtful
if ever armor will come into geu-
eral use again, but its disuse re
sults only from the fact that its
protection does not protect.

ichola$ Allee, '., Attestior of
Moniteau County, California,
Mo.
Dear Sih : Your letter ol
yesterday received this morning,
and, iu auswer, 1 have to say :
Sections 6 and 7, Art. 10 of the
Constitution of 1875, ure as fol
lows :
Section 6. The property, real
aud person. 1, of the State, coun
ties and other municipal corpor
ations, mid cemeteries, shall be
exempt from taxation. Lots iu
incorporated cities or towns, or
within ono mile of the limits oi
any such city or towu, to the ex
tent ot oue acre, and tots one
mile or more distant from such
cities or towns, to the extent of
five acres, with the buildings
thereon, may bo exempted lrom
taxation when the same ure used
I exclusively for religious worship
I for Ri-hnnls. in-frtr ibfirrtosps itni-f.
for schools, or for purposes pure
ly charitable : also, such prop
erty, real or personal, as may be
used exclusively Tor agricultural
or horticultural societies : Pro
vided, That such exemptions
shall only be by geaeral law.
Sec, 7. All laws exempting
property from taxation, other
than the property above enumer
ated, shall be void.
Stotiou 1, of the revenue law
of 1K72, provides that 'Muxes
shall be levied on all property
real and personal," except such
as is exempt from taxation
Section 8, chap. 118, pp. 1,159
aud 1,100, Wag. Stat. 1872 (being
see. 8 of Collated Revenue Law),
provides : "The term, 'personal
property,' whenever used iutbis
Act. shall be held to meau and
include bonds, slocks, moneys,
credits, the capital stock, undi
vided piorlts.and all other means
not forming part of the capital
stock of every compuuy, whether
incorporated or unincorporated.
The stock ot uureiies, growing
on leased lands, or ui tho hands
of nurserymen which has beeu
separated fiom the soil where
growing, and every tangible thiug
being tho subject of ownership,
whether animate or inanimate,
and not forming part or any par
cel of real property, Tho term
'property,' whenever used in this
Act, shall be held to, meuu and
j include every tangible) or iiiturt-
gible thing being the subject of
ownership, whether animate or
inanimate, real or pcrsoual."
It is unnecessary for me to
state that a growing crop is a
part of the land, anil that when
the crop is gathered, it is no long
er a part of the realty, but Is then j
personal property being Uugl
hle.aud the subject of ownership.
Under the Constitution and laws,
all personal property must be
taxed, unless it is exempted by
Hec. 6 of Art. 10, of the Constitu
tion above quoted. As harvested
crops are not exempted,'t follows
that they are subject to taxation,
and should bo assessed.
If land was worth 120 per acre,
including the cicp, it would be
worth less without the crop.'
Alter the crop is gathered, its
actual value In the condition tli.it
it was on the tl rat day of August,
should bo assessed. Wheat may
be worth 75 cents per bushel at
the mill, but standing in the
shock it may not be worth half
that much. For there Is the ex
peuse of handling, the risk of
damage by exposure, the cost of
threshing and transportation to
market, to be takcu Into cont-ider
ation.
It has been the object of this
department to faithfully carry
into execution the laws made to
govern the assessment and col
lection of the revenue. From
letters received from revenue
officers, I learned that gathered
crops have, for years past, been
assessed as personal property in
some of the comities and not so
assessed iu others. My duties
leqiiire that I Instruct assessors
as to their duties under the rev
eunelaw, so that the assessment
be uniform all over the State.
Hence my instructions on this
point.
And, again, believing from re
presentations made to this ofllce
that lands and live stock bore
more than their share of taxation,
for the renson that other proper
ty (viz. : Monev. bonds, notes
and other invisible property) es
ouped assessment, I called the
special attention of assessors to
the matter, aud urged that a full
assessment be made. Taxation,
to bo fair and just, requires that
every dollar of capital, not ex
empi by law, be taxed.
Lust winter h bill was intio
duceil into the House of Repre
sentatives to change the time of
assessmrtit to the 1st day of
June. The mowed object of this
bill was to relieve fanners from
paying taxes on harvested crops
as personal property. (Very few
croim being gathered orcnt prior
to June 1st). This bill (lid not
become a law. The question of
taxing harvested erons as per
sonal property was fully dismiss
ed by the Senator and Uepre
SL-utatives at the last session of
the General Assembly, anil the
only opinion expressed was that
the Legislature had no power,
under the Constitution of 1875, lo
pass a law declaring that harvest
ed crops i-hoiilil be taxed us per
sonal property.
llie last Legislature (lid not
repeal the Act of April 13, 1877,
to provide lor the registering
and licensing of dogs," nor did it
provide any rompeiisation to as
sessors for such registration.
Very respectfully
vour oli't servant,

One of our Western men was a
guest at a White Mountain hotel
where waiters are Massachusetts
schoolin'ams. At tho dinner
table he said to ono of them,
"Miss, wont you please puss the
butter 1" "Butter," said the
schoolin'am, very promptly, "is
a noun : common noun, because
it is the uame of a thing, and ti
very poor thing sometimes ; sin
gular number, if stroug enough
to go alone; feminine gender
mostly, as may be seen by the
long hairs often found in it ; aud
judging from the odor of this, it
must be iu the objective ease,

it.

"He a Cool Man Papa."
A poet, many years ago, wrote
that "a babe in a house is a well
spring ol pleasure," The iuOn.
enco of a dear little child over
the heart ot a father, it is impos

following incident :
Leaving home this morning for
the office, we kissed our little
four year old good bye, saying,
"lie a good boy." He somewhat
surprised us by replyiug. "I
will. I?e a good man papa."
Sure euough, we thought, we
need the exhortation more than
he. And who could give it more
effectually thau this guileless
prattler 1 The words of the lit
tlo preacher have been ringing
in our ears all day, and whether
we wrote letters or editorials, or
pacified an irate correspondent
whose effusion we could uot pub
lish, or pruned dowu u too
lengthy report, wo seemed to
hear tbo sweet child voice say
inc. "Be a good man pupa." If
the exhortation had beeu by Paul
or Peter, would it have had more
force tliun coming from this lit

Oh I how mauy little children,
