Tho Old unit tho Now.
Tho old tax law compelled tho asses
sor to accept the afllduvit of tho tax
payer as final unless tho assessor found
omitted taxes und nil such were subL
jected to n penalty. Tho now law puts
nn inquisitor on tho track of the
assessor und tho tax-payer und if ho
finds an ommission or mistake ho
charges tho tax-payer with tho usual
tax and pecnlty which goes to tho
State and 20 per cent, additional which
goes to tho inquisitor. O yo farmers
take care, do not innko nn ommission
or a mistake, but kcop tho ledger
correct. N. T. F.
Wo clip tho following from tho
Ohio Farmer: "Thcro is no law in
this Stato that requires owners of
premises to post notices wurning hunt
ers to keep off if they do not want
them to hunt thereon. Tho statute
prohibits nil persons from hunting
upon tho promises of mother without
tho permission of tho wner or occu
pant thereof. A hv.iter goes upon
tho premises of another without his
permission, at his own risk of being
urrested and fined just as a thief
enters tho houso of another and com
mits a burglary, does so at his own
risk of being arrested and sent to tho
penitentiary, and there is no more
necessity for v-.irnlng ono off than
thoro is tho other." And whilo this
is till true, tlio custom heretofore pre
vailing of allowing everybody to hunt
whonovor they would have become
provalont, and tho furmors hiivorshown
their good judgment in issuing notice
of their intention, rather than taking
snap judgement where statute gavo
them tho right. TliU consideration
on tho part of tho firmer should bo
appreciated by those who could easily
have got into dilllculty by violating
law without probably knowing its
existence.

camo to present to tho Princo tho

among other things, said: -'Up to tho

Ed. Journal : Tho Journal,, is or
course, a Ropublieun paper. Tho
writer has always been an adherent
of tho Republican party nnd never
wished to break with it, but havo it
so faithful to the underlying principles
of truth and right that ho could always
support it.
But somo way tho wiseacres of tho
party, when thoy mako tho platforms
always contrive to tlnkor out ono
particular plank which ho in his folly
always wants in and which a good
muny others of a similar parsuasion
want kept in. And certain other
planks which aro much worn by long
use, left out.
Tariff and Election Bills and Freo
Coinago have their plnco nnd can bo
put in or left out ns tho majority
decides. But thcro aro issues moro
vital.
Tho peoplo want something olso and
uro dotormlned to havo it somo
advance stop in legislation. And if
ono party does not grant it another
will, and they will muko ono to suit
themselves.
Witness tho -'Prcamblo and De
mands" of tho Farmers' Alliance, mot
at Gallon, this State, tho last of Janu
ary. I quote briefly to show how thoy
feel about it; tho peoplo who do tho
work und bear tho burdens of society
In a largo degree
WiiEHEAS,the tariff on intoxicating
drinks iB now, as it ovor has been, tho
eternal enemy of good government,
tho homo and mankind; and
Whereas, tho farmers aro largely
tho sufforers from tho tariff, on account
of having tho heavy burdens of taxes
to pay iu prosecuting crime, and in
maintaining jails, penitentiaries and
poor-houses; and
Whereas, no evil hits ovor been
abolished by Belling it tho right to
exist, und the saloon is a place that
every decent person is ashamod to
defend ; therefore bo it
lUsokeJ, by tho Farmers' Allianco of
tho Stato of Ohio, that tho liquor
truffle is an cnem. to tho home, to
society, to church, and to tho Stato,
nnd that tho time has come when
c iristian peoplo and all lovers of good
government should cease to bo indiffer
ent und bhould unite their efforts for
tho suppression of tho evil.
Resolctd, That it is tho sense of this
invention that, in tho ovout that tho
demands of our Stuto and National
Legislators aro unheeded, wo shall
co-operate wlrh other labor and reform
organizations, und all thoso desiring
Political Reform, in tho call of a mass
convention to form a Peoples' party
that will enforce our demands with tho
ballot."
Tlieso aro good words and wo bcllove
only need to bo well stuck to and
:arried out in spirit and to tho latter
to insure triumph sooner or later. And
that tho party which embodies that
issue most faithfully, will bo tho puity
of tho future, and tno wlnnh g
party. Here is something ovorybody
can understand, nud almost every
individual family and community feds
tho truth of. And that something
ought to bo dono about it, moro than
as a people, with full purpose of
heart, wo havo yet done. God speed
tho day. And uoa speeu tno a armors

Ynnkeo DlspntcU.
One day I mado some rcf erenco to tho
clumsy and long-drawn-out way in
which tho Russian guns were taken up
to tho front. True, the roads were fright
ful, the mud being boyond all dp.-xrip-tion,
but I ventured to sugge.it that tho
progress of that artillery wtfi, in many
instances, lamentably slow.
"Wal," said tho American, in broad
Yankee twang, "I think you're right.
They'vo been at it foi months nnd there's
very little promiso of increasing speed.
How long, now, do you think it would
take Britishers to accomplish tho same
end?"
Actually, I had not tho slightest idea,
but I was not going to collapso bofoi'o
my Yankeo interrogator, so I suggested,
cs an improvement on tho existing stato
of affaire, that it would tako us, say
about a fortnight or three weeks. "By
tho way," I continued, "how long do
you think it would tako the Americans
to achinvo a similar result?"
"Americans? Oh, that's a very differ
ent kettlo o' fish! Aiuericunb?" and with
this ho took out his watch, nnd glanced
at it several times in meditntivo silence.
"Tho Americans? Wal, I should say, as
near as I can calculate, somewhere be
tween twenty-fivo minutes and half an
hour," and with this ho turned on his
heel with a Eclf-Hatibed air, leaving mo
to digest tho comparison. Irving Mon

Joanne3 Zttlin in 1090 first gavo tho
world information ns to this valuable
plant. Tho planta tartarica bowmetz,
according to Mr. Zalm, grows in Tartary
liko any other plant, and when it gets
ripe n lamb forms on the top of tho
flower stalk. After iv whilo tho stalk
bends over and tho lamb grazes till all
the grass in tho vicinity is cropped off or
the stem is severed. Then it dies.

Abstract mill Common Xouns.
During nn etymology lesson a mistress
obtained an answer from n girl which
may be characterized both as ingenuous
and ingenious. Tho lady was dealing
with the common nouns and their cog
nate abstract forms. In order to insure
that tho class should thoroughly appre
hend tho subject of her discourse she
took caro to put before them tho very
plainest examines; such as (common
noun) judge; (abstract noun) justice;
(common) coward; (abstract) cowardice;
etc.
She then surmised that sho might safe
ly venture to elicit from the girl3 them
belves u few examples of such cognate
forms. Accordingly, toward the close
of tho lesson nho made tho request.
After como time one child timidly
raised her hand.
"There's a good girl," said the teacher,
"now, what is your example of these
common and abstract fonnb?''
"Please, ma'am," answered tho girl,
"(common) body; (abstract) bodice."
I need scarcely remark that tho gover
ness decided that her class required at
least one additional lesson before being
subjected to a searching examination.
