The New York San. (dem.) makes a
careful revision of Mr. Cleveland's
unique record as specialist in vetoes.
and then presents the formidable in
dictment, sustained by the facts, that
while the bills vetoed by the president
are mostly individual pension meas
ures, averaging perhaps 500 a year
each, yet he signed IA pension bill for
the purely gratuitous increase of more
than one hundred thousand pensions
whose rate had already been establish
ed by law, and thereby placed bur
den of more than six millions n year
upon the people. And the Sun adds:
President Arthur only vetoed four
bills, but one of them was q river and
harbor bill, involving much more mon
ey than all President Cleveland's We
toes combined. 1t is safe to say that
Nh. Cleveland's unprecedentedly nu-
merous vetoes do not equal i'm public
Importance single veto of some of
his predecessors. who used their veto
power most sparingly." This is an ar
raignment that will appeal to the com
mon sense and sense of justice of
most impartial and intelligent readers.

the Present Day.
1. There was a certain Great Man,
and a ruler of the people, who cloth
ed himself ia broadcloth and fine lin
en-, and Jared sumptuously every day
on costly wines and game In its sea-
son.
2. And like Jeshuran, who ruled
over Israel, he waxed fat and became
greatly pulled up, for within very
short space of time he had been taken
from among the lowly and made ruler
over millions. Then he forgot what he
had been and what he soon would be
again. Such is the heart of man.
Band every day he lifted mp his voice
and thanked God that he was not as
other men-even Congressman, but
was wiser and more cunning and purer
in heart than the law-givers whom the
people had set over themselves.
4. And he Knocked them with a sharp
tongue and many harsh words, and set
their acts down as naught.
5. There was q certain Other Man.
stricken in years and beset with sore
Affections. He had not waxed fat,
neither had he become great. for in
his youth he had gone out to fight
for his country while the Great Man
staid at home and gathered wealth,
and made himself solid as the common
speech hath it, with his par-ti.
&. 1t had come to pass that the 9th
er Man while fighting for his country
had been comprised about by his
enemies who smote him previously.
They hewed off his arm with the edge
of the sword, and they brake his leg
with their missiles of war.
2. Now he came to the door of the
White House. and looked up and saw
the Great Man sitting there arrayed
like unto fashion plate, and digest
ing good dinner by the aid of a good
cigar from the isles of the southern
seas.
s. And he cried aloud unto the
Great Man, saying: 20, Cleveland,
thou art great, and are set i'm a high
placed May YOU live long, and your
shadow never be less. Sign, beseech
you the bill which the lawgivers have
presented You, for verify my need is
great, and my little ones cry for bread.
/ ask only what the country promised
me-"
8. And the Great Man answered
him scornfully, and said: Verify you
are one of those who got bumped on
the pommels of their saddles. Go to,
you shall have naught."
10. Then brake the heart of the old
soldier, and he lay down and gave up
the ghost, and his bones were laid in
the pottersfield.
The remainder of the Ms. of this
interesting recital seems to have been
lost in the mails. but we find that the
original story in St.Luke continues in
this WISE:
The rich man also died, and was
--.--.a~.,'~-s
being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
81. And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercv on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip OF
his finger in water, and cool my
tongue; for AIN tormented in this
flame.
25. But Abraham said. Son, remem-
Der that thou in thy lifetime receiyedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus
evil things; but now he is comforted,
and thou art tormented. National ITib-

fairly swarmel whenever the glare fell

to a niceE, and the way in which their
nets swain when beachcd is ample cvi-

at either end and belied out until it

the lighted boats are the centre.
Around the latter all the fish within

Wonderful Anatomy.

There are some things familiar enough
to the civilized man which the credulity
of cannibal of the Pacific Islands re-
fuses to take in. Evidently the reflec-
ton, "What a piece of work is mani"
has never been forced upon his mind,
though he may often have dincd, with
much satisfaction, off a wcll-roasted
specimen of humanity. Among the
startling stories told of white men in the
Pacific, there is one of an cold hand" in
FIJI, who had cork leg and who once
found himself in the hands of the ma.
tivcs, a. time when they were appar-
emily intent upon the preparation of a
meal
He did not like their looks at all, and
he was very much exercised in his mind
at the sight of an oven, in an active
state of preparation, outside the house
he was in.
However, his presence of mind did
not desert him. He called for food,
which was brought him, and, with a
large crowd watching him, he began to
eat heartily. Between every mouthful
he struck his clasp-knife SO firmly into
his cork leg that it stood upright, The
natives watched these proceedings with
intense astonishment, and were evidently
much bewildered.
When he had finished his meal he vorv
deliberately unscrewed his leg, and com
posed himself to slumber. But this was
too much for them; they rushed out of
the house, and allowed him clear pas
sage to where his horse was
