fsrscia dispatch to the Baltimore sum-
The New Tariff RiIs.

Wash .vSeToS, January 30.-Mr. Morrison,
chairman OF the Committee on Ways and
Means. will l. n-norrow introduce tariff bill
which propos,"s important changes In
the present re venue laws. The bill
restores the duty on tea and coffee,
but the rate of duty has not been de.
termined. Mr.. Morrison .favors a lower rate
OF duty than was imposed prior to August
/. 1872, when a specific duty Of five cents
per pound was imposed upon coffee and if
teen cents upon tea. He proposes to leave
the rate on these commodities to the action
Of the committee, but thinks the duty sh ould
not be less than three nor more than four
cents upon coffee, and not less than ten nor
more than twelve cents upon tea. About
sixty million pounds Of tea and three hun.
dred million pounds of coffee are imported
annually. Taking the lowest figures named
the bill would produce an annual revenue
from tea Of S6,000,000, and from coffee
S, 600 900.
These are the only commodities upon
which duty is imposed by the bill. The
duty upon all leading imports which now
pay duty in excess Of thirty per cent. al
raLoren. src reduced By the bill from thirty
five 10 iorty-tve per cent, and all duties are
made specific. Large reductions are made
upon imported iron and manufactures there
Of: and btuminous coal, which now pays
seventy-fvc cents per ton, is placed upon the
free list. Salt is put on the free list. No
changes are made in the internal revenue
list. Duty on imported tobacco is increased.
The importation Of coal reaches about five
hundred thousand tons per annum. An in
come tax Is proposed upon all incomes in ex-
cess of five thousand dollars, but the rate of
tax has not been determined. The bill is
constructed to produce tariff for revenue
only. and is claimed TO be in the interest oil
consumers rather than producers.

ter, according to the Boston Gazette, is dis.
gusted. He remarked gu hearing of the
bank-robbery at Northampton: Ppm sick of
this rascally world, and don't want to see or
do business with anybody. I'd rather be an
old farmer, Living on cross-rOad four miles
from the sight Of every body, with barrel OF
cider and two hogs, than to have anything to
10 with either banks, money, or men,"
Dir. J. II. McVicker has bought up all
claims of all creditors against the estate Of

bankruptcy, if ever made public, will, it IS

added that very striking disclosures are soon
to be made public, showing how an artist and
gentmau may be plucked by old but not
honest men OF the world.

a Wonderful Ride.
A DRUNKEN FARMERS PERILoUS DRIVE ALONG
AND OVER A sTEEr RAILWAY EMBASKMENp.

\
AND OVER A STEEP RAILWAY EMBASKMENp.
From the Davenport Uowaj Gazette.l
\ farmer from Blue Grass took ride night
before last as remarkable as the renowned
ride of John Gilpin, though very different.
He had brought a load OF corn to town and
sold it. Night had spread her mantle DER
the earth ere he was ready to start for his
home, and when he did start he was so reck-
lessly jolly that he paid no attention to the
streets his team took for their return route.
He let the horses have their own way, and
after leaving a Secondstreet tavern they
went up Western avenue to Fifth street, and
there the driver turned them west on the
raiIroad.track, wound the reins about stake,
threw himself on the waSon-bed and went
to sleep. How he came TO do this will be
seen hereafter.
The horses were very steady old laborers,
and understood their dutie-. They bad
hauled their master from town TO his home
in that way, though not over that route,
many time. They kept that railroad track
the north one) right along the rails evident
" without once leaving il, the whole length
Of Fifth street, from the avenue to Fillmore
street; and, what is quite wonderful, they
crossed the Fillmore-Street bridge, the cross
timbers of which are implanted, in safety
then struck the heavy fill west Of it, and
made their way along the track on that
embankment with safety. And on the fill
horses and driver had very narrow escape
from wreck and destruction. After they had
travelled to point nearly q half mile from
the bridge the farmer was aroused by the
whistle and CHATTER of train ia his rear. He
ddu't know where he was, but he got on his
feet, seized the reins, backed the horses, and
the horses, wagon, and man went rolling
down the steep south side of the hill TO the
bottom-a distance Of forty-odd feet. And
before they reached a stopping. place the train
went numbering by. 1t was the westward
bound night express!
The farmer was sobered and hurt, both by
the tumble and fright. He set up yell for
nelp, and some men went over from Fourth
street in response to his cries. They found
him on the ground, with mis- head bleeding,
and he groaned with pain when they at.
tempted to lift him. The wagon was badly
broken, and the hind wheels were on the
horses, one of which was on its side. The
relief party assisted the farmer to house
near by, and cared for the team. The man
was Z" set up with" nearly all night, and he
remained 10 bed until yesterday afternoon,
when he was placed in charge of his neigh.
bors, who took him to his home. Eiti&as1.
In explanation of his adventure, the farmer
stated that he supposed that when the team
struck the railroad, on Fifth street, they
were on the Third.street horse railroad, and
SO turned his horses on the track and let
them g gang their own gait" as he had done
scores of times before, and he never dis
covered his mistake until the noise aroused
him
