-Ex-Presdent ard Mrs. Cleveland left
Washington for New York on Wednesday
morning. All along the route, wherever the
train stopped, they received an ovation. 1t
was more like triumphal procession than
the exit ola defeated candidate, and it show
ed the hold Mr.. Cleveland and his wife have
on the popular heart. No President ever left
the White House with brighter and better
record than Mr.. Cleveland, and his admins.
tratIon, when imparlially examined, will be
found to have been wise, patriotic and free
from the scandals and corruption which have
dsgraced so many of those of his predeces-
sors. MIR. and Mrs. Cleveland have taken
rooms at the Victoria Hotel, New York. The
ex-President will resume the practice of law.

PERILoUs sLIDE.-Last Friday week
young man named Myers, who lives at Btyans-
willie, York county, Pa, had au adventere which
he is likely to remember the remainder Of his
life. Upon going to party at house on
Slate Ridge, Hartford county, he tied the colt
he was driving TO a post. While he WAS en-
joying the merry making inside the colt broke
loose and ran away through the woods with
his buggy. The horse and buggy were coon
missed aid party of young men, with Ian.
tern, went in search Of them. They found the
| buggy, somewhat broken, ths colt having got
ton loose from ii, and recaptured the latter also.
The owner oil the colt and buggy who had been
delayed in starting, followed his friends. See
ing light in the distance he walked directly
towards it, unconscious Of the fact that il was
on the other side Of slate quarry twenty-five
feet deep, which had been recently opened, the
bottom containing pool Of water He had
gone but short distance when he stepped over
the side Of the quarry. The side was not quite
perpendicular and he did not fall headlong, but
descended rapidly in a sitting posture, yAiuy
striving to stay hia course by ciutching at
sticks and stones on the side OF the pit as lie
ided past them. He kept on until he reached
the bottom. Fortunately for him the water
was covered with ice thick enough to bear
his weight, and on this he landed in manner
more furcibIe than graceful By all arduous
effort he succeeded in scramhling TO the top
again, with numerous scratches and bruises
and his clothing torn. He was so overcome by
his frightful experience that he could scarcely
relate what had occurred, when his friends
joined him few minutes afterwards, with the
light which had led him astray.

The Direct Tax Bill Vetoed.

President Cleveand's farewell message was
veto of the direct tax bill, which proposed
to return to certain States ST. 1000 900 collect
cd in 1861 by the tax on incomes, to carry on
the war.
President Cleveland holds that the tax was
constitutional and there is no reason why
this tax should be refunded more than another.
Besides, the money now in the treasury
was contributed for very different purposes
bya generation many of whom were not
born when the direct tax was levied. He
regards the bill as merely one plan of depict
Ing the treasury, and thinks better plan
could be adopted, which would promote JUS
tice aud equality by leaving in the hands of
the people and for their use the money not
needed for the expenses of the government
He believes the bill unconstitutional and
therefore refuses to sign it. The Senate
passed the bill over the Presidents veto. 1t
seems passing strange that any Democratic
Senator could vote to pass such a bill over
the Presidents veto. The income tax was
collected during the war from those who
were best able to pay taxes, and the PROPOSE.
ton to return to the rich what they paid
while the millions ground out of the poor in
the way oftaritf taxes is retained would be
monstrous piece of injustice. The effort of
protectionists in Congress seems to be to get
rid ofthe surplus in the Treasury as an ex
cuse for maintaining the present high tariff

He Chung to LII. ror,nentor.

A friend relates the following rather
jocose incident: Proceeding down Joy
street not long since, his attention was
called to a little negro boy who was
crying piteously, and alternating his
outbursts by munching glowing
hued red pepper. The tears were
streaming down his ebony cheeks and
he was believing loudly about the
burning sensation in his mouth and
throat, totally oblivious Of the fact
that the pepper was the cause OF his
trouble, and that he was continually
aggravating the pain by endeavoring
to Inasticate the pungent article.
The narrator, noticing his trouble
and its cause, stepped forward and
snatched the pepper from his hands
and threw it into the street, where
upon the black urchin set up a most
vociferous howl and dashed after his
treasure, while burly negress rushed
out Of a doorway, evidently thinking
her child had been abused The well
meaning pedestrian did not linger to
explain. As he departed he caught q
glimpse Of the ebonized gamin again
in possession of the pepper and yelling
and munching as before. Adapting U
fragment Of a common quotation, il
was q case where ignorance is bliss
