Cory O'Lanus Explains the Intern
~. al Revenue Law.

Cory O'Ianus furnishes tho Brook
lyn Eagle with the following complete
and lucid exposition of the internal
revenue law: i.r hnE H9,,i'
The law is very clear when you UNI
derstand it. ..ifi oIaGt AiahB "a
The government expects every man
to have an income. lgo j9ii 1ni
AT the same time it requires him to
swear to the fact. of. 2di ~ md
"A man that has got no income can
swear that he has, and if he pays the
taxes on it, the law don't insist on his
taking the money back. .syilsa
The collector of revenue is author
lied to receive all he can get, and
hand as much as he can affordover to
the government. disui ni ~ G, gyo
The Assessors business is to see
that every man assesses himself.
fla citizen fails to assess himself
in any sum, the Assessor is authorize,
ed to doubt the amount and add one
hundred per cent to il. i ,sy,,i -,
If the Assessor thinks a citizen has
assessed himself too much, the law re-
quires tho Assessor to say, nothing
about il, for fear of hurting the citi-
zen's feelings. A. - .,Tl
Revenue derived from all sources is
taxable; but,a man is. not required to
pay taxes on what he borrows,, unless
he pays it back, which may be taken
as an evidence of his ability to sup
port tho government. ,f,s -
A man may deduct the rent of the
house he lives in, whether he pays his
landlord or not.
That's the landlords business. 'a i9
When man owns the house he
lives in, he is not authorized to deduct
the wages of his servant girl from his
taxable income. '.'''ts'
When a man and wife have each sep
arate incomes and don't live together,
and the wife boards with her aunt,
who is widow and has property Of
her own in government securities, real
estate or oil stocks, and the husbanti
is not in the habit Of paying his wife's
board or millinery billy the tax for

the amount Of his revenue, If he has
any. His wife's aunt cannot be held

The former Home and Family Of
Henry Clay.

A Kentucky correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial tells the follow
ing melancholy story of Ashland the
late homestead of Henry Clay, one of
Americas first" orators, and for
many years tho idol Of the old Wing
party-and the history Of the de-
scendants;
"The old homestead of Henry Clay
is now occupied by the family Of Hon.
Thos. Clay, one Of his sons, and pres
ent Minister TO one of the South
American Governments. 1t is owned
by the heirs of James Il. Clay--a de-
generate son of the great statesman
who, il will be remembered, died
in Canada about year ago. The
house in which Mr. Clay lived when
at homo, was torn down some years
since by James and magnificent
structure erected on its site, and there
is nothing now about the place to re-
mind one Of him who once owned and
honored it, except the family buggy
in which the old man and his wife
used to drive about, and the oak
trees in front of the house, beneath
which he used to sit and talk with his
family and friends. Mr.. Clay had five
sons. Four Of them survived him.
One, who bore his fathers name, was
killed in the Mexican War. Thomas,
as / have said, is now Government
Minister. John is living on one half
of the old homestead, (now divided
into two farms). James died fugi-
tive in a foreign land, and Theodore,

THE DEMOCRATIC PARrY.-The New
York Times, a leading republican paper,
with unusual justice and truth says:
"The life and strength of the old
democratic party was its national
spirit. From its earliest history this
never failed to assert itself clearly,
fervently, we may say, indeed, fiercely,
on every question involving the pres
ervation, or the enlargement, or the
honor and glory of the country. In
our great controversies with England,
with France, with Mexico, it was pc
culiarly the war party. In every
minor dispute with other nations, it
was always the party most apt to plant
itself on high pretensions and extreme
claims. In our domestic affairs, it
was the party that ai'cays ldbored most
earnestly 10 put dozen sectional discerd and
10 strengthen the bands Of the Un,on.r !.
