Incomes Of 1891,
From the Boston Journal !


There seems to be an IMPRESSION abroad
that the recent propositions in Congress in
regard to amending the income tax bill are
part Of the first efforts towards framing
our next payable income taxes, that Is,
those Of the year 1864 But those taxes
are already fixed by the law approved on
June 30th, 1864 As they have received
but little public attention. and as they
differ considerably in some respects from
those of 1868, it may be worth while to
glance at their chief features.
The new scale of taxation is as follows ::
on incomes between 5000 and $1,000, the
tax is TO be five per cent between $1,000
and $4,000, ten per cent Besides the
$500, which is exempt in all cases. there
shall be deducted all national, state and
municipal taxes of the year, except the in
come tax; the income derived from the
dividends Of all corporations, and the in
terest upon their bonds and debts, pre-
viously assessed; the rent of the payers
homestead, or the rental value of it when
owned; and also the amount paid for hired
labor in carrying on business, rents Of
places of business, money paid for repairs
not exceeding the average Of the prcced~
ing FIVE years, and money paid for iaterest
on ;ncumberances on real estate. But 1t
is to be observed that there is to be only
one exemption of 5000 from the aggregate
incomes of a family composed of parents
and minor children, or husband and wife,
except where the incomes Of wife or child
is derived from a separate source. Pub-
fishers of newspapers Will not have their
incomes from advertisements deducted
under this law as under that of 1862
The items of income are somewhat en-
larged The net profits on real estate pur-
chased and sold within the year are reck-
oned as income, and losses Of the same ma
ture are to be deducted.
The interest due over and above the
amount of interest paid upon all notes,
bonds, mortgages and other forms Of in
debtedness, if good and col:ectable, is to
be included as income All gains derived
from the purchase and sale of stocks or
other property, including agricultural pro
duets, and the profits from all companies
not specified by law that is recloned as
income, as also is the interest upon notes
bonds, and other securities of the United
States. The taxes are to be levied on the
lst of May, and to be due and payable on
the 20th of June

The Judges Saw Log.

In the village Of W lived man
who had once been the judge of the coun-
ty, and was known all >oyer by the name
Of Judge l. He kept a store and
a saw mill, and was always sure to have
the best cf the bargain on his side, by
which means he gained an ample compe~
tence, and some did not hesitate to call
him the biggest rascal III the world. -
He was very conceited withal, and used
70 delight in Dragging of his business ca
pacity when any one was near to listen.
One rainy day, quite number were seat
ed around the stove in the store, and he
began, as usual, to tell of his great bar
gains, and wound up with
Nobody ever cheated me, nor they
can't, neither"
Judge" said an old man in the compa
ny, Il have cheated you more than you
ever did me-
"How so p asked the Judge
"If you promise you'll not 90 to law
about it, I'll tell you, or e'se won't; you
are too much Of law character for me"
Lets hear lets hear " cried ha'f a
dozen voices. "We'll bear you out in it ;
20 on"
'I'H promise, and treat into the bargain
if you have, said the judge.
"Well, do you remember that wagon
you robbed me OFF,
II never robbed you Of any wagon
only got my own" said the Judge
"Well, l had made up my mind to have
it back. and"
"But you never did, cried the judge
"Yes did, and interest too"
How p thundered the now enraged
Judge
"We'l, you scc, judge, sold you one
day very nice pine loG, and barrained
with you for a lot more Well. ! stole
that loc off your pile, down by the mill,
and sold it to YOU That night drew it
back home, and sold it TO you again the
next day, and so ] kept on until you had
bought your own leg from me twenty-sev-
en- times"
That's a lie - cried the iratc judge,
running to book and examining his log
accounts you never sold me twenty
seven logs of the same measurement
81 know it, said the vender of logs,
':for by drawing it back and forth the end
wore off: and as it wore off kept cutting
the end off, until it was ou'y ten feet long
Just fourteen feet shorter thar when
you first bought it and it got so short
drew it home and worked it into shingles
and then / conc 'uded that had got my
money back and in my pocket.
The exclamation of the judge was
drowned in the shouts Of the bystanders,
and the log drawer found thc door without
the promised treat. To see a mad man
you have only to ask the judge if he was
ever shaved

1 New Expedition to the North Pole.
80 &c = York Evening Po.t.

from the Ne9r York Evening Post.
While our ccantrvman, Capt. C.F. Hall
is attempting by novel and extraordina-
" adventurous way, to obtain further ac
counts of the fate of Sir John Franklin and
his men, Captain SherrQrd Osborne, Of tn
British navy, proposes new and final ex-
petition to the North Pole. Captain Os~
borne's project, which enjoys the favor OF
all the leading Arctic voYagers, and the
opposition OF the London Times, was laid
before the Royal Geographical Society on
the 23d Of January and it is probable
that the Society will recommend the Gov
ernment to furnish the vessels, and grant
cave Of absence to the officers and men
required for that purpose. There Wi / be
no difficulty in getting volunteers. Cap
tain Sir. L. McClintock has already offer
ed to accompany Captain Osborne, and the
latter writes in the paper discussing his
project: . am frequently asked by Old
shipmates, Are we going up that way
again, sir? Please do not forget me"
Caps Kane's man, Morton, has proba-
bly, stood nearer to the Pole than any
white man before or since. He has ar
rived at poirt named by him Cape Con-
stitution. That point was located in lat
itude So, 55>, 544 miles from the Pole
Sixty mi cs northward he saw land which
he called Cape P2rry-this would be 4S4
miles from the Pole; and this Captain Os
borne proposes to take as his point of de-
parture He asks for two small screw
steamers and 120 men, which should be
ready by the spring Of 1866. They would
sail for Baliin's Bay, and reach Cape York
in August. One vessel would then be Sc
surcd in or about Cape Isabella, leaving
only p men il charge the other, with %
men, would be pressed up the western
coast in the direction of Cape Parry, care
being taken not to exceed a distance OF
100 miles from her consort During the
same autumn the southern ship would
connect herself by depots with the north
crn vessel, and the northern vessel would
place out depots toward the Pole ready for
spring operations. In the two following
years, lS67-S, s!elge and boat operations
should be directed towards the Pole and
over the unknown Polar area, and in l S6s
the expedition would retire, thus spendin:
only two winters and three summers i
the Arctic zone"
The chief popularity of Capt Osborne
plan is that he VIII make his sledse jour
neys in the winter season, ami not in The
Summer, as Arctic voyagers have done
hitherto. 1T is a pity that such an expe-
dition could not have the aid Of the thor
oush knowledge of Esquimaux habits and
character which was acquired by Captain
Hall during his first voyage to and stay il
the Arctic region, and which he is now
using so nobly and courageousIy for the
prosecution Of his search after Sir John
Franklin men.

In response to the plan suggested in
New York, of raising 50, 900, 100000 as a
gift to: Uncle sam to liquidate his great
war debt, created in order to save tho
Union, the Philadelphia North American
says:
Let New York city, which has receiv-
cd such wide spread credit for a proposal
not yet attempted, begin the matter in
earnest as her great wealth would war.
rant she should do in such matter, and
we can undertake to say Phiadelphiaand
Pennsylvania viii respond We DO not
know that Philadelphia could equal New
York in such subscription although thus
far she has done so in most benevolent
and patriotic lists but if New York will
do her best, she Will find US emulating
her example. New England, New York
and Philadelphia would no doubt raise
half the amount, leaving the rest of tho
debt to be mastered by the rest of the na>
ton"
The Cleveland Herald proposes that the
shares be made SO each, so that every
laboring man in the United State, might
give Of his mite, while every rich man
could give in proportion to his n,ight-
The moral effect Of such an enterprise if
Successful, would astonish-the word, and
show that Yankees-as all Of US arc call
ed by the rebels-haye sous 4. 7ee rs

by our Government, as has been necessa-
r. to carry on the war, has excited tho
wonder Of the world the cancelIing of
the obligation our Government is under
for this immense amount, would astonish
the universe.
