THE CENTRE REPORTER, FRED, KURTZ, Eprror and Pror'n The last legislature repealed ail taxes upon watches, farniture and pleasure car- riages, and tax collectors have no right to frighten people into paying them When the act of 13th May, 1887, wus passed, many had paid all taxes for the current year. As the furniture, watch and carriage taxes were then legally im posed and due, and as the act made no provision for refunding such taxes paid for the year, there is no authority for the tax department to make restitution; but there has been no law of any kind since the date of that act for the collection of such taxes, and all who are now com manded to pay them should refuse per- emptorily to do so. No fears need be en- tertained of suits, levies or costs by re fusal to pay such taxes, asthe tax officials are not fools i some of them are knaves, ————— UNEXPECTED INCREASE OF THE SURPLUS, Secretary Fairchild in his report sub- mitted to Congress early in December estimated that the treasury surplus would reach $140,000,000 by the end of the pre- sent fiscal year. It is now stated at the Treasury Department that owing to heavy receipts during the past few months, the estimate then submitted will prove to be too small, and that the surplus at the end of June, 1888, will probably reach the sum of $155,000,000 - ed - A NEW YORKER'S IMPRESSIONS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW YORK & CHICAGO LIMITED.

You may meet on auy big road in any part of the esuntry cars as beantifal and perhaps qnire as eomfortable, but here is a whole train of laxury. The vestiboles between the cars are so def'ly joiued that you cannot discover under foot where the platforms come together, and the carpet ed way is lighted by a centre light over head.

[Special Correspondence.] Of all queer people that Washington has ever seen the Coreans who were presented to the President recently are the queerest. There are ten of them in the legation and they have been going to the theaters and strolling about the streets by twos and threes all the week, dressed in their gor- geous silks and acting as unconsciously as if they had been attired in the most un- noticable broadcloth, These Corcans seem to be very tall people, but this is due wo their enormously high silk hats, which are pot at all like the silk hats to which the Caucasians are accustomed, but are loaf shaped concerns with a very high turban brim. In gorgeousness the Coreans fairly out- shine the Chinese diplomats who swarm about Stewart castle in Dupont Circle and during the long summer evenings sit and smoke on the benches in the little Circle purk. The Coreans all wear a peculiar wire frame, which greatly increases the size of their bodies. Some of the shortest of them when they wear this frame look like big animated foot-balls. The frames are buckled at the waist and move with the body, being made of a rigid net-work that never loses {ts position. Their attire is all of silk and consists of breeches made of immense quan. tities of silk and hanging in very loose folds. Over every thing they wear a long flowing silk gown, and these various gowns are AT THE WHITE ROUSE made of remarkably delicate and beautiful shades of the precious fabric. One worn by Pak Chung Yang, the chief of the logs tion, is of a shade that can be described by no better term than sky-green. It resem- bles the delicate apple green sky that is so rarely seen in a prairie sunset at the West. The Coreans wear shoes very much like the Chinese sandals. Their hair is nev er cut, and they wear it in a long braid coiled up on the back of the head. Itis the custom wherever they go to keep their hats on. At the reception st the White House the entire legation wore the turbaned hats; on the street they wear very much like the ed bell-crowned hats These Coreans have come to Washington to stay; they have take A capacious real dence on © street not far from BSoeott Circle, which is in the neighborhood of the Spanish, Mexican and Chinese legations, and with Dr. Allen, the American tary of the legat they intend to their home there and Live 34 lations with the United States. Dr. Alien is a tall, spare, shghtly bald young man who has spent the last seven years in Cores, and has the confidence of the Her- mit Nation. For the last four years he has been physician to the royal family He had first lived in China and had mastered its language. His relations with the ruler of Corea are due to his having saved the life of Prince Min Yong Ik, who in an outbreak of some traitorous natives was terribly cut with scimetars, and lay at the point of death when the young American doctor was called to attend him. American sur- gery saved the Prince's life; the gashes were sewed up, the arteries tied, and in due time the Prince recovered, Dr. Allen says that Corea contains fifteen million people, although it is not larger than the State of Pennsylvania. The Coreans are Mongolians, and China claims that the Corean realm is one of its de- pendencies. Art and literature have reached a high standard in Cores, and the Coreans are on the whole a progressive, active and earnest people.
