fiad consented to halt halt an hour ®° id the town and to receive an Address from the Corporation of which, as 9 representitive center of wished thus to express its sense of the great services he had rendered to agrinilturai science and economics by iis zealous promotions of cjesigns for placing the art of farming on a more scientific footing. Royalty had not been seen in Casterbridge since the days of the third King George, and then only by candlelight for a few minutes when that nonarch on a night journey had Hopped to change horses at the Golden Crown. The inhabitants, therefore, decided to make a thor)ugh fete carillonnee of the unwonted occasion. Half an hour’s pause is not long, it is true, but much night be done in it by a judicious grouping of incidents; above all if the weather were fine. The address was prepared on parohnent by one Miggs, who was handy it ornamental lettering, and was .aid with the best gold leaf and colors that Turpess, the sign painter, aad in his shop. The council met on the Tuesday before the appointed day to arrange the details of procedure. While they were sitting, the door of the council chamber standing open, they heard a heavy footstep coming up the stairs. It Advanced along the passage and Henchard entered the room in clothes of frayed and threadbare shabbiness, the very clothes which ae had used to wear in the primal days when he had sal among them. “I have a feeling,” he said, advancing to the table and laying his hand upon the green cloth, “that I should like to join ye in the reception of our illustrious visitor. I suppose I could walk with the rest?” Embarrassed glances were exchanged by the council, and Grower nearly eat the end of his quill pen, so gnawed he it during the silence. Farfrae, the young mayor, who by virtue of his office occupied the big chair, intuitively caught the sense of the meeting and as spokesman was obliged to utter it, glad as he would have been that the duty should have fallen to another one. “I hardly see that it would be proper, Mr. Henchard,” said he. ‘The council are the council, and as ye are no longer one of the body, there would be irregularity in tin proceeding, If you were included why not others?" “I have a particular reason for wishing to assist at the ceremony.” Farfrae looked round. “I think I have expressed the feeling of the council?” he said. “Yes, yes,” from several. “Then I am not to be allowed ta Dave anything to do with it officially?” “I am afraid so; it is out of the question, indeed. But of course you can see the doings full well, such as they are to be, like the rest of the spectators.” (to be continued.)

Crooked Talk, Harper's Young People. Toddles —Papa, don’t you think people talk very crooked sometimes? Papa—Crookedly you mean. Well, [ don’t know. How? Toddles —Why, for one thin#, thoji 5ay the wind roars through the trees and it doesn’t. I've been watching, and the wind goes along quietly till it gets to the trees and then they begin to fight it and try to keep it from going through. They make all the fuss. Papa—But how about the trees, my boy? Weren't they still and quiet, too, before the wind came? Tha wind seems to be like a great manj people I know, and even some small boys. It goes along quietly and noiselessly as long as it has thing! its own way, but just as soon as it meets opposition there is trouble. Papa stopped here and looked a 4 . Toddles, expecting an answer, bul the little boy seemed to be thinking.

Wanted to be Certain. “John,” exclaimed the nervous woman, “do you think there is a burglar in the house?” “Certainly not. Why, I haven't heard a word all night.” “That's Just what alarms me. Any burglar who wasn’t foolish would keep perfectly quiet so as not to excite our suspicions. Indeed, John, 1 do so wish you would get up and look through the house." The ex-president of a defunct Kansas City bank is said to be peddling clothes wringers for a living. Philadelphia has 25,000 mop women than men.

Scvonty-olght counties of Indiana sent their assessors to tho conference which convened at Indianapolis, Wednesday. Gov. Matthews called tho meeting to order and spoke at length. Upon the subject of tax dodgers ho said; There is another class of property to which I trust you may devote serious attention, that may bo properly put down us the invisible, at least it possesses tho wonderful facility of escaping discovery. These are in the forms of notes.mortgages, bonds and other securities held by individuals and corporations as investments. Too often is the enormity of this concealment only revealed by tho hand of death, and through tho consequent settling of estates do wo first learn tho extent to which tiio State, the county, thecommunity and tho honest taxpayer lias been defrauded in the Just amount of taxes due. Lists should ho carefully gone over, the party questioned upon each item and solemnly sworn to in tho presence of the assessor, and not, as too often, carelessly left to be filled by tho party assessed. Following tho Governor’s address a motion was made for the appointment of five committees to discuss the assessment of certain personal and troublesome real property with a view of fixing uniform rates of taxation In all tho counties. Tho motion was made to include seven committees and they were appointed. Executive business requiring the Governor’s attention, Col. I. N. Walker was called to tho chair and made a short address, impressing upon the officials present tho importance of equalizing assessments. At tho afternoon session Attorney-General Smith was present, and answered many questions concerning points of law bearing upon tho duties of assessor. Ono of tho most important points was the assessment of movable property belonging to persons outside the State or out of the county and stored hero for safe keeping or other purposes. Tho Attorney-General stated that all such property was assessable either to tho owner or to tho person wljo had it In charge in tho county where it was stored. Tho conference reassembled. Thursday morning, and received and adopted the reports of the various committees. Tho rate of assessment this year will be as follows: Horses — Heavy draft horses: First grade, 8500 to *700 each; second, $300 to *400; third, #100 to 82(X), governed by the breedingqualltiesaiul individuality. Light draft stallion roadsters: First grade, *1,200 to *1,500; second, *600 to #800, third, *200 to *400, governed by the speed shown, Individuality and brooding. General purpose stallions: First grade, *200 to *1,00; second, *100 to *300, governed by the breeding. General purpose work horses: {first grade, four to ten years old, 850 to *60; younger and inferior horses in tho same proportion. Eoadstors and speed horses from *400 toS500, speed and individuality to govern. .lacks from *103 to 400. Mules, three to eight years old, *50 to *60 each; younger and older ones in the same proportion. Cattle —Registered beef; Bulls, *35 to S2C0; milch cows and heifers. 8i0 to $400 each. Registered milch and butter cattle: Bulls, $10 to $100 each; cows and heifers, 833 to 8150. Fat cattle: Export, 81 a hundred, gross weight; shippers, *3; butcher, 8,3,50. Common milch cows, *10 to *35 each. Work oxen, (rum #10 to *75 a yoke. Sheep—Registered, *3 to *25;common, 81 to ?4. Hogs—Registered, *10 to $75; common stookers and feeders, *3.50 per hundred. Chickens —Blooded and fancy, #1 to *5; common,*3 a dozen; ducks, *3 a dozen; geese, *4 a dozen; turkeys, *6 a dozen. Honey boos, from *1 to *3 a stand. Wheat, No. 2, 45c per bushel; corn, 35 to 40c; rye, 35c; barley, 35c; oats, 20:: potatoes, 40c; timothy seed, *1.50; clover seed, *4; flaxseed, 75o; timothy hay, *6 a ton; clover, *4; beef, 4c per pound; bacon. 8c; bulk pork, 6c; lard. 8c; wool. 15c; tobacco, 3 to 5c; maple sugar, 6c; boot per barrel, *8; pork, *10; cider, 10c per gallon; vinegar, 10c: wine, 50c,; sorghum molasses, 35c; maple, 75c. It was decided to leave the assessment of tools, farming implement! and machinery to tho township assessors. Prepaid building association stock will bo assessed to the owner, Mortgage and all other notes will bo listed at their cash value. Private banks will bo assessed on the residue of credit after deducting tho amount of Indebtedness added to casli on hand, cash on deposit with other banks and tho value of fixtures. The committee on household furniture, libraries and musical instruments made a report in which the articles varied, and tho report was returned to tho committee with instructions to change it so that assessments may bo made as the true' cash value. The Attorney-General said that the statutes required property to be assessed at its true cash value. Any article three years old was of less value than ono two years old. One of tho cases now passing through the courts was that of tho railroads of Indiana against the State Tas Commission. The Board of Commissioners had made the rule that all property, with tho exception of railroads, bo assessed at 70 per cant, of its value, Tho railroad assessment was.to bo for its full value. This was alleged to bo a discrimination, and the most serious question of the tax cases now pending. The railroads have been endeavoring to breakdown tho laws of tho State relative to taxation and have spent thousands of dollars to accomplish it. The fight was based on discrimination. If it were indulged in by thi assessors, he said, it would fill tho courts with tax controversies.

A BRITiSHJ>ENSATION. Progress ot Liberal Ideas in Old England. The Commons Vot« For the Abolltloa of the House of Lords. When the House of Commons convened, Tuesday, Mr. Morloy referred to Lord Rosebery's speech at the opening of Parlament, stating that before home rule was conceded to Ireland the English milority must bo convinced of its necessity. An exciting debate ensued between Mr. Morley and Mr. Harrington. John Rodnond, the Parneilite leader, said that he sympathized with Mr. Morley’s humiliating position In explaining Lord Rosebery’s atterancos. Mr. Henry Labouchore proposed as an amendment to the address in reply to tho Queen’s speech the abolition )(the House of Lords. A division of tho (louse resulted in a small majority for the amendment. When the division paper was handed to Mr. Labouchere a tremendous cheer broke Irom the Irish and Radical benches and Iho members standing below tho gangway. Mr. Tanner was excitedly cheering and waving his handkerchief, while the Govsrnment tellers looked pale, especially Uhlef Whip Ellis. All the ministers looked downcast, while Mr. Balfour milled Ironically. Mr. Chamberlain moved to apjourn the lebato on tho ground that it was too late to continue and because an amendment lad been carried against the government, which Sir William Ilarconrt told thorn lad called upon Her Majesty to do what iho had no constitutional right to do. There could be no doubt that the government could neither accept nor be tho thannol through which this ridiculous amendment was to bo submitted to tho Queen. The motion to adjourn was carried after speeches by various members. The result of this vote Is regarded as a test of the sentiment of tho British public and it has created a great sensation throughout the Kingdom. WHOLESALE POISONING; A Jewish Wedding Feast and Its Unpleasant Results. At Boston, Mass.. Tuesday night, eight hundred guests participated in the wedding festivities of Henry Felnberg and Ida Margolios. Out of that number fully three hundred wore victims, Wednesday, of poisoning, caused, it is thought, by eating food that was cooked in two old copper boilers. The principal articles of food eaten wore chickens, chicken gib-, lets and pickled tongue. Over ninety chickens were killed by Rabbi Margolies on Saturday and Monday, who is positive that the chickens were fresh and pure and that the fault was in tho cooking, which was done by a local baker. The Hebrew sections of the community are all excited and in a groat number of cases It is the opinion that the 1 poisoning was caused by using copper vessels to prepare the food which ha I not been properly cleansed before using.

AN AUBURN MIRACLE. AN ACT OF HEROISM IS FOLLOWED BY DIRE RESULTS. Edward — ou nelly tm a Ufa Almost al the Coat of His Own—After Tears ol Battering Hi Is Restored to Health—Ills Story as Told to a Reporter of tU Auburn Bulletin. [Auburn (N. T.) Bulletin.) jt is on record that upon a chilly April day, a few years ago, an eight-year-old boy fell into the blast Hirer at the fi ot of East Eighth street, New York, and when a'l effort! to rescue him hod failed, Edward Donnelly, at risk ol his own life, plunged into the water and, when himself nearly exhausted, saved the boy from drowning. It was a humane and self-sacrificing deed, and received deserved commendation in all tho newspapers. There is a sequel to this accident, however, which thus far has not been published. It is to tho effect that Donnelly was paralyzed us a re ult of the cold plunge and came near dying. Auburn people have known the family since his wife was Amanda Grantman and his sister Mrs. S. D. Corny, of 21 Moravia street. Donnelly himself describes the rescus a id tho result: “I was general foreman of the F. A. Mulgrew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, New York, on the East River. It was tn the 2Cth of April, 1889, that the boy fell into tho river, and I rescued him from drowning. At that time 1 was in the water so long that I was taken with a deathly chill, and soon became so stiffened up and weak that I could neither work nor walk. For some time I was under treatment of Dr. George McDonald, who said 1 nad Locomotor Ataxia. He linally gave me up, and on tho 1st of June, 1892, my wife and I came up to Auburn. “When tho dLoa-o first came upon me tho numbness began in my heels, and soon tho whole of both my feet became affected. There was a cold feeling across tho small of my back and downward, and n sense of soreness and a tight pressure on the chest. The numbness gradually extended up both legs and into the low.or part of my body. I felt that death was creeping up to my vitals. I was still taking the medicine ('It was Iodide of Potassium,* said his wife), and was being rubbad and having plasters put all over my body, but with no benefit. “1 sent to tho Chas. H. Sagar Company, the popular Auburn druggists and chemists, at 101 and ill Genesee street, and got three boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, , and began taking them. In three weeks’ lime 1 was so improved that from being helpless, I_was able to help myself ami to got up and go to work, and 1o walk every day from No. 74 Walnut street, where I then lived, to Osborne's New Twine Factory, Seymour and Cottage streets — more than a mile —where I was then employed, but all the while 1 was taking Pink Pills. “Then Dr. Patohen, of Wisconsin, uncle ohruy wife, and who was hore on a visit, began to poo-hoo at me for taking Pink Pills, and finally persuaded mo to stop taking them and lot him treat me. When ho returned to the West he left a prescription with Dr. Hyatt, of Auburn, who also treated mo. But their treatment did me no good, and after a whi o the old trouble returned and, I was getting bad again. Then I began to taka Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; have lakon thorn evcrsinco, am taking them now; have taken in all nearly 2<i boxes at an entire cost ol less than $10.00 (my other treatment cost mo a pile of money ), and again I am well and. able to work. “If I was able I would, at my own expense. publish the virtues of Dr. Williams Pink Pills to tne whole world, and especially in New York City, where I am much bettor known than I am here.” Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People without doubt mark the beginning of a more healthful era. They were first compounded by an eminent practitioner - , and used as a prescription for many years in general practice with almost incredible success. They are now given to the public as an unfailing bloodbuilder and nerve-restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition cf the blood or shattered n rves. two fruitful causes of almost every ill that fie ,h is heir to. These pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases f rising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. The pills are sold by all dealer, or will be sent post paid cn receipt of price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.59 —they are never sold in bulk or by the 10Jj by addi easing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.
