A Delusion.
san.Josc Mcicurj
The tax pajer who, under our
constitution, imagines that be
cause the mortgage on his farm, or
home, is aseSM'd to the mortgager,
therefore he (the said tax-payer)
will escape the payment of taxes
thereon, hugs a delusion to his soul
that may cost him dearly ere he is
aware. Jones loans Smith a thou
sand dollars upon bond and mort
gage of his homestead, which, per
haps, may have been assessed at
no more than eight hundred dol
lars. Now. while it is true that
the mortgage is assessed to Jones,
nevertheless as the taxes thereon
are made a lieu upon the premises,
he need not trouble himself about
the payment thereof. Jf Smith
fails to pay the same, he will find
himself saddled witlt extra costs;
and if they are not finally paid,
the premises will be sold, and bid
in by Jones, leaving Smith out in
the cold. And then instead of
paying taxes on eight hundred dol
lars of valuation, he is now requir
ed to pa a thousand dollars mort
gage, in addition to the taxes on a
small assessment upon the premi
ses mortgaged; for no assessor
would be satisfied with the state
ment that they were mortgaged
' for their full cash value. That is
how it is worked under our -new
constitution.

An Alleged Quarrel Between Grant
and Blaine.
The quarrel between Grant and
Blaine, as 1 hear it, says a corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Tunes,
is very amusing, and more like two
school boys than two great big
men, who have now or have had
the eyes of the whole country bent
toward tlem. 1 will not vouch for
the story, but this is tiie way it
came to me: After the Chicago
convention, smarting somewhat
under his defeat, Blaine consoled
himself by saying to some frit-mis:
'Well, I have beaten that fellow
GniBt, anyway.' A little cold
consolation like that ought not to
be complained of. 1 know that
after Sherman failed of nomination
at Chicago he had some very se
vere things to say about Charley
Foster much more severe, indeed,
than Blaine said about Grant; but
it was in anrer, and, no doubt, he
long ago repented of his choler.
However, what Blaine said of
Grant was kindly repeated to the
latter, who became greatly in
censed. This fact, in turn, was
brought to Blaine. He could not
believe it, and, being anxious to
do the polite thing on his part and
to show that he had no personal
feeling against Grant, the next
time he went to New York he
called at Grant's hotel and sent
his card two cards, indeed, one
to General and one to Mrs.
Grant, with the .name on each.
To these the Grants paid not the
slightest attention, although Blaine
waited for more than a half hour
for his answer. Not very long
after that Grant came to Washing
ton and was received by the United
States senate. When the August
body adjourned for that purpose
there were two senators who did
not greet the ex-prcsident one
was Mr. Blaiue and the other was
Mr. Voorhees. They were down
" I
in
the Senate restaurant eating
some cold roast beef and drinking
a glass of beer. The story still
goes on to say that a few weeks
later Mr. Blaine w;is again in New
Vork and, having some business
with a down-town bankei, he
strode into the latter's private I thoroughly retittud by Messrs. Pike
