The first salutation of President Cleve'
land TO his cat-boat commander on ar.
irving at Gray Gables was: Have yot
got any blue-fsh bait?" and as the com
mander said he had. the President lost
the care-worn look that had marked
him, and went fishing forthwith. Great
indeed. is the man who knows how &c
use the good things of life without
abusing them: and what is better at this

The inevitable increase In the tax-rate
Of New York city is giving Mayor Strong
great concern. Last year Il was sL79,
and this year II will 60 to $l.S, and per-
haps higher The administration claims
that this is due to Tammany assess

travagance and Encouragement agains,
the reformers. which we think Is quite
probable.

Lively Scenes in Court.

NEWTON, May 15.-Upon opening his
mail yesterday, Charles Shuster found a
draft for $3.50 and a letter explaining
that the sender had purchased team of
horses three years ago for which he had
never paid
The circumstances surrounding the
affair are peculiar, and are such as to
perfectly conceal the guilty man. 1t was
4 case of mistaken identity. Three years
ago man appeared at the Shuster livery
stable, since burned, and greeted Shuster
cordially. Shuster thought he knew the
man, but he didn't While he was pre-
sumably talking 10 his acquaintance, his
acquaintance was not even in town, as
was afterward proven. The stranger held
up his end of the conversation admirably,
and Mr.. Shuster was as completely de-
ceived as if he had been dreaming.
The man bargained for a team of
horses, agreeing to pay $500 for them.
"I'Ii be around in the moIn.ng and settle
for Them" he said. 81 haven't the
money with me tonight, not thinking
we could agree so readily" Nothing
wrong being suspected, the horses
we're allowed TO go. The stranger,
| of course, skipped with the team,
and had not been heard from since until
now.
The man whom Shuster thought to
be the purchaser showed up the next
day, and it was only by proving an
