given even sign OF his intentions as
to the formation. of his Cabinet until
the time of Inauguration. We all re-
member what a surprise Grant gave us
by the announcement of his Cabinet on
the afternoon of Inauguration Day in
1869. People knew who Mr.. .Washburn,
for Secretary of State, was, and they
knew who A. T. Stewart, as Secretary
OF the Treasury, was, but when it came
to A. M. Borie, for Secretary of the
Navy, not man in Washington had
ever heard of him, and nobody discov-
cred his origin until it was found oat
that he had been making presents to
the Grant family. 1t is not likely then
that Mr.. Cleveland is going to be so
stupid as tomake his Cabinet known an
hour before the time comes for its ne
cessity, and L furthermore firmly be-
lieve that he has not decided upon one
single member so far rs to invite him
to a seat as one Of the Presidential fam
lily.
The devices of Washington people for
turning an honest penny are both nu-
merous and ingenious. All along the
line of Pennsylvania Avenue, through
which Mr.. Cleveland's inaugural pl o.
cession will pass, the windows have
been advertised for rent at prices rang
ing,.from ten to sixty dollars each for
the day, while the indefatiguable Yam
kee has leased q lineal frontage the
whole distance from the Capitol to the
White House, projecting from four to
ten feet from the bnilding line, upon
which stages and platforms are to be
erected and seats thereon utilized at
rates of one to ten dollars for each seat,
with brilliant prospect of tremen-
douS raise on the price by the 4th OF
March. All the best rooms at the best
hotels were long since snapped up at
prices that only Washington hotel
keeper knows how to exact, while al
the halls and billiard rooms and restau-
rants land possibly the churchesl Will
be the temporary abiding place of many
of the military organizations that VIII
be unable to secure other quarters. A
regiment from Philadelphia has already
been given leaye to bivouac in the cor
ridors of the new State Department,
while the famous Seventh Regiment
would not come at all because of the
want of sufficient room for Its $50
scionS of New York's best aristocracy.
About twenty thousand dollars haye
thus far been contributed by the people
of Washington to give Mr.. Cleyeland
an unusual 4th of March send off, and
the Inaugural Ball, for which about
twelve Thousand tickets have already
been sold, will be just a little superior
to anything of that particular character
yet produced on this continent. The
ball room for this occasion is the spac-
ious court of the new Pension Office,
and is of sufficient dimensions to allow
four thousand people to dance to the
music of four bands which will be so
placed as to be out of hearing of each
other. Mr.. CleYeland will open the
ball by joining in the opening quadrille,
the music for which has been written
expressly for the occasion by a Wash
ington admirer. PHoNo.

Two BILLs-one entitled can act to
regulate the taxation of Private Cor
porations for public purposes, THE
other can act amendatory of the sew
eral acts relating to the assessment
and valuation of Real and Personal
Property for purposes of taxation -
have been presented to the Legislature
by Hon. Leonard Rhone, one of the
able representatives from this county,
and which if they become q law will
do away with many of the abuses now
existing in the taxation of the people
and will more fairly distribute the bur-
dens of government among all classes.
The injustice of inficting compari-
lively much heavier tax upon the
farmer and mechanic than ON the rich
corporations and stock holders will re-
ceive the death blow. We should
therefore all feel sufficiently interested
and actively aid our representative in
having the proposed measures passed
and made law. One way to assist
in this meritorious work would be to
petition the legislature and write per-
sOnal letters recommending and en-
dorsing the matter to the several
members Of that body. We earnestly
urge those of our readers who are par
ticularly concerned and interested in
equal taxation to lend their help In the
way indicated. The matter presented
in the bills is of vital Importance to
every taxpayer and we earnestly look
for their passage.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.


WAsHINGTON,D ID. g.. Feb. 24,1s85.
Whatever difference of opinion there
may be about the justice or the injus-
tice of retiring General Grant, there is
no small amount of sentiment in the
country that points to the solemn con-
clusion that the Government has done
all that 1t ought to do in the way of
conferring favors upon the ex- Presi-
dent. I am inclined to think that some
of Grants predecessors in the Execu-
tive Chair, whose military services to the
country were as valuable as his, should
have some national recognition in the
way of exaltation, and the fact that a
granddaughter of the author of the
Declaration of independence is now liv-
ing in comparative indulgence right here
in Washington City, should mantle the
cheek of every Grant admirer in the
country. The very graves of Jefferson,
Of jackson, of Harrison and Taylor
have received no mark of public appre-
ciatiCn Of the services of these men

favorably considers proposition to in
vest living ex.PresIdent with an ex-
orbitant salary, after he has fully dem
onstrated his incapacity to take care of
the wealth which has already been lay

be SO much ado over the composition of
Mf. Cieyeland's Cabinet. No Presi-
dent-elect in the last forty years has

Suicide Of Howard Brickly.

From Phipsburg JoUn NAL
The report that man had been
found dead in bed at the Lloyd House
shortly after dinner, on Sunday, Great
ed an Intense fever of excitement in
our midst, and in a short time that ho-
tel WAS the centre Of attraction. Every
body that heard he report went there
u see the remains, and to learn the
particulars Of the sorrowful aft air. The
unfortunate young man, who had thus
suddenly been deprived of life, was Mr..
Howard w. Brickley, travelling salt s.
man for French, Richardson IL Co., Of
Binghamton, n. Y. who had arrived
in this place from Kylerton, about four
O'Clock on Saturday afternoon. After
retiring Tor the night, that was the las.
known of the man until about s O'Clock
the following morning. At that hour
the porter came down stairs and in
formed Mr.. Row that he couldn't get
any answer to his rap from the occu-
pant of No. 13, but that the gentleman
must be sleeping very sound,as he was
snoring very loud. Nothing was thought
of this, and the room was not visited
again until noon; but when that hour
came around, and the man was still in
bed, fears began to be felt that some
thing was wrong. The clerk went to
the door, and after pounding for some
time, aud getting no reply from the IN
terror, took his pen knife and managed
to push out the key. Then taking a
mother key he unlocked the door and
went in. The man was found lying on
his right side, his knees slightly drawn
up, and his left hand conceallng his
mouth-dead, and that from an over
dose of opium.
In response to dispatch sent to
Howard, Centre county, Pa, the home
of the deceased Messrs. Cook and Coun-
ell came here and took charge Of the
remains, and conveyed them ID How
ard by way of the IS. c., G. Il 5. w.

A Young Woman Buried Alive.

SPRINGFIELD, w. Va. Feb. 12.-
Mary Cox, a well known and popular
young lady who liyed near the mouth
of the Little Capon river, was taken
violently Ill. The physician decided
that she was suffering from neuralgia
of e.stomach and prescribed morphia.
A dose was administered at once, and
another left with instructions to give
it in "a hours. For some reason the
second dose was given in very short
time. In an hour or two the death Of
Miss Cox was announced, and two days
later the body was buried. AT the
funeral one lady insisted that Miss Cox
was not dead, and begged that a phys
ician be sent for. That night the dogs
of a man living near the graveyard,
stationed themselves near the tomb and
kept up a persistent bowling. The
next day the grave was opened and to
the horror of all, it was found that the
girl had been buried alive. The lining
was torn from the sides of the casket
and the pillow was in shreds. The poor

girl had literally stripped the clothes
from her body. Her hands and arms
were torn and bleeding, the lips, were
bitten through, and handfuls of hair
was torn from her head. The girl had
come to life, and had evidently made
fearful struggle to escape. The awful
affair fills the community with horror.

Frozen Stiff While Holding the Rein

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Just before II
O'Clock last Monday night, when the
mercury was way below zero, the con-
ductor Of a street car on the Larrabee
Street Line wished to stop the moving
refrigerator at North avenue and rang
the bell, but without effect. He step
ped to the front platform to ascertain
why the signal was not obeyed and
found the driver standing motionless,
but holding on to the lines. He spoke
to the driver, but received no answer
and then attempted to shake hun, but
found that he was as stiff as statue.
The man, who is known 10 his fellow
drivers as ''John, from Kansas City,"
was unconscious, being in the heavy
stupor which oyercomes people who are
freezing to death. He was taken into
a store, thawed out and after an hour
or so revived. Had he been exposed
fifteen or twenty minutes longer he
would doubtless have perlshed.
