are making. A tax on these is largely
a tax on indulgence and excess and
its payment largely voluntary. Taxes
not paid on these must be paid on he
necessaries of life. This tax should
not be removed.

INC Gatherinc at Gree1er,s Grave.

Only few type-setters, some wearing
the uniform of the Grand Army, gathered
ground Horace Greeleys grave in Green
wood. The monument over his remains
had been erected by their contributions.
It is a simple bronze bust, mounted on
a pedestal Ornamented with bass reliefs,
depicting the country boy at the case and
at the editorial sanctum. The great news
paper, once the coinage of his brain, was
totally unrepresented Not a Tribune en-
ploye stood at the grave. The man seemed
TO be totally forgotten by all but journey
men printers.
Headed by brass band, Greeley's post,
O.. A r.. and a few members of the Typo
graphical Union, No. 6, with silken ban
ners, marched through the city of the
dead, and gathered round the grave of the
great journalist. Fifty or more ladies' in
Guiding Gabrielle the only surviving
child of Mr.. Greeley, sat near, and a small
crowd of curiosity seekers pressed upon
the outskirts of the assem- bIage. The
floral display was scant and simple. 1t
was one, however, that would have
touched the heart Of the dead man if he
could have seen it. Daisies, buttercups,
heads of red clover, and YiOlets were
there. a fresh bouquet of hOneysuckles
made q fiOwery contrast to a basket of
blue wistarias near by. There were few
dollhouse plants. Flowers trained by ma
ture we're the most used a wreath of
laurels lay at the base of the pedestal,
and horse-chestnut blows were scattered
over the sward. The Grafton was deliv-
cred by the president of the New York
Press club. He was a compositor OF The
Tribune in the palmy days of Mr.. Gree
ley's life. He left his case to enter the
army, returned near the close Of the war,
and entered the editorial room, where he
remained until 1S6S-New York Letter

The Nick in the Collar.

A queer thing about coats is the little
V-shaped nick in the lapel by the Shout
der. That nick doesn't make the coat
set" any better. 1t doesn't help the APP
pearance of the coat in any way, yet there
that nick is in every frock coat worn the
world over. This has puzzled me for
long time, and have just found out the
reason. When the First Napoleon first
gave way to his ambition he tried to inn
plicate Gen. Moreau in Pichegru's con
spiracy. MORGAN had been NapOleon's
superior and was very popular, but under
the circumstances, as Napoleon was on
top, it was not safe to express publicly
any sympathy with MOreau; so his adj
nirers agreed to nick their coat-lapels TO
show who they were. If you look at the
outlines of your coat now you will see that
they form en- N like this :. Moreau, by
the way, was eXiled by Napoleon and
lived in MorTiSvilIe in this state Isn't it
queer that we should all be commemorate
ing Moreau as we do without knowing it?

just as Wen Be Chatting.

"What is the use of 100, 900 people sitting
stiff and solitary twice day, saying moth
ing to nobody, and looking tired and
glum, when they might just as well be
chatting with each other and thus cause
the moments to fly more swiftly? Why
need people be strangers, anyway, until
somebody comes along who happens to
know that one is Jones and the other
Smith, and politely tell them so? What
has Jones got a tongue for, and can't
Smith TALK Why don't they tell each
other their names without waiting on
somebody else?
"For my part I can't see any sense in
this strange busiUess. There's one man
who lives across the street from another
man. Down town they have an Office ia
the same block. They have lived am
officed that way for more than a year.
Nearly every morning they take the same
street car and ride into town sitting be-
side each other or face to face. Each
knows each others name and all about
him, yet they are not even speaking &C
quaintances. How many cases are there
of that kind in this city? And how many
men and women are there in Chicago who
feel every day that they need more ac-
quaintances; that they don't know any
body and that it is so different here from
what it used to be where we lived-there
we knew everybody and here we are still
strangers
And the worst of it is the man who
throws off his reserve on all occasions
and tries to be chatty and pleasant will
be set down as n crank by most people. If
the chatty man and any one of his critics
were riding alone in carriage the critic
would take kindly 60 the chatty man and
like him. But in public he frowns and
scowls and acts as if he was afraid some
body will think him undignified and weak
in case he talks Familiarity with strangers.
So you see what foolish extremes this
fashion of wearing a coat OF reserve has
led US into. Chicago Herald.

A RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM.
The Gear at Last Shows His Hand In
the Bulgarian Game.

O'Connor cables to the "Star" from
London OF the 24th: Peace rumors are
in the ascendant tonight The Sultan
has recovered from the shock Of Alex
ander's expulsion from Bulgaria. Al
though still preparing for war, he eagerly
listens to Russia's overtures. The hasty
arrangements for Lord Salisbury's de-
parture for the Continent are accepted
generally as confirming the belief upper
most, that peace will after all be pre-
served.
The Bulgarian Government has been
informed that the hostile demonstration
at the Russian agency in Sophia against
General Kaulbars will furnish an excuse
for Russian interference.
A dispatch from Sophia states that the
Russian ultimatum, of which General
Kaulbars in the bearer, demands the
immediate raising of the state Of siege in
Bulgaria, the liberation OF all political
prisoners and the indefinite postpone
ment of the elections for members of the
National Assembly However, there are
no signs of finching on the part OF the
Regency. On the contrary, the anti
Russian feeling increases daily.

mutual concessions to American and
