THE ERA OF GREAT FRAUDS.

At no time within our recollection has
there been such succession Of great frauds
as during the past three or four months.
Following each other so rapidly that their
extent and Oudacity have severely shaken
the public sense of security, the wonder is
that no serious financial revolution has fol.
lowed in their wake. Just glance at the
list of these huge robberies:

The ChOlera-AM Epidemic re.
ally Coming The SCOurgt
Roaming Europe.

From the London Herald July 90
That there is an epidemic traversing Eu-
rope, east and west, and emanating from
Asia, it would be folly to deny. The Privy
Council admit the fact by issuing an order
to the authorities of all the British ports,
and several governments have resorted,
more or less rgidly to the principle of quar-
antime. In France, earlier than in Eng
land, the danger is confessed but, on both
sides of the Channel, it is unmistakahly ar
gued that with the public lies the chief re-
sponsibility of guarding against Infection
Bad water, corrupted air, habits of disorder,
sovenly lodging g-houscs, drains, and person
al unceanliness, account for many depop-
ulating epidemic.
A disease in thus created which we desig-
nate as cholera. 1t is new to the world. 1t
is known, among the oldest traditions of So
cal calamity, to India, China, and Russia
it has been called collie and nausea, but it is ;
as rule, inseparable from those customs
which travellers have ascribed to the inhab-
itants of Muscat People fancy when they
read of precautions adopted at Southamp-
ton and Hull that they have got at the Sc
the epidemic in its progress from the Ganges
III lOIi W ONGl IIlISidIlu III loOO
they watch its progress from Hamburg to
London, from Sunderland to EdinHurg, and
through the triple panics of 1853, 1854, and
1859. What are we doing, however, to ar
rest the coutagion, now mantestly spread
ing over the north and east of Europe? In
England the Board Of Health recommends
an encouragement ofpure air and water, the
use of disiniectants, deodorizing prepara-
tions, ablutions, and the removal Of dirt in
every conceivable way.
From France medical writer's assure us
that the cholera follows the lines of the sea
coast and great rivers; that it is generally a
misfortune of the vast high roads connect
ing different countries; that in the East it is
often trailed along the path of a caravan !;
that in Europe it usually spreads from pop
ulous centers; and that by rigorous precau-
tion its approach may be prevented. Thus
it has been kept out of Saxony, Hanover,
SAKE, Weimer, Gotha, Anhalt, Hesse,
Brunswick and Mecklenburg, which have
quarantined themselves into state, so to
speak, of medical isolation. But its trav-
els IRE rapid, nevertheless, and whether it's
influence be contagious or not is question
to no longer be disputed. All we have to do
is to recognize the fact that, directly or indi-
rectly, we are menaced by this frightful
scourge, that it is roaming Europe, that it
has visited Egypt, Turky and Italy, that it
creates apprehension in France, and that
our own administration has been reused to
issue public warning.

Cory O'Lanus Explains the In =
terMal ReVeNue Law.

Cory o Lanus furnishes the Brooklyn
Eagle with the following complete and lucid
| exposition of the internal revenue law;
The law is very clear when you under
stand it.
The government expects every man to
| have an income.
AT the same time it requires him to swear
to the fact.
A man that has got no income can swear
| that he has, and it he pays the taxes on it,
| the law don't insist on his taking the mon-
ey back
The collection of the revenue is a1thori-
Zed to receive all he can get, and hand rs
much as he can afford to over to the govern
| ment.
The Assessor sbusiness is to see that eve
| ry man assesses himself.
IF citizen fails to assess himself in any
SUN, the Assessor is authorized to doubt the
amount, and add one hundred per cent. to
| it.
When a man owns the house he lives in,
he is not authorized to deduct the wages of
his servant girl from his taxable income
When man an6 wife have each separate
incomes, and don't live together, and the
wife boards with her aunt, who is widow
and has property Of her own in government
securition, real estate OR oil stocks, and the
husband is not in the habit of paying his
wife's board or millinery bills, the tax for
which he is liable will depend upon the
amount of his revenue, if he has any. His
wife s aunt cannot be held liable for his in
come tax unless the man should die and
leave no property, then the Assessor may
remit the aunt's income tax, except on what
she actually owns.
Ifa man fails to make any return, the AS
SCISSOR may make one for him, and allow
him any income he thinks proper. In case
the man should not be in receipt of such in
come, the Government is not bound to pay
it to him.
In making return of revenue derived from
business transactions of a certain, uncertain
or any other character, the law requires a
business man to specifically state how much
he has made, and he can make as much as
he likes, but he need not deduct his losses
A merchant who has made fifty thousand
dollars this year, on indigo, cannot deduct
seventy-fv thousand dollars he lost in lS49,
ON gum-cowrie and beeswax.
Young men on salaries of twelve hundred
year. who spend five thousand year, are
not required to pay full tax on the latter a
mount, as the tax is tax on income, not
on outgo.
A young man who is entirely dependent
on his aged mother for support is not requi-
red to pay his income tax.
Gentlemen who went to Cadada to avoid
the draft, and were supported be their fond
relatives until the cruel war was over, are
not liable to be taxed unless they return to
the United State.
| Orphans not over twenty-one years of age
are not liable for income tax.
These decisions are not from the Com
missioner, and are consequently reliable.

The most corrupt feature Of the election
was this: Men were prescribed by a self.
constituted "Committe of Public Safety" q
list was made out, and the command was
given to the soldiers, who guarded the polls,
to let no man whose name was on that list
vote, and not only so, but to arrest him il
he attempted to vote. Now, | should like
to know by what right party of men,
whose loyalty has been more vigorously
displayed in holding office than in any other
way visible to the naked eye, sat in judge
ment upon the character of others and de-
cided whether they were traitors or friends
of the Government. | believe military in
terference, to the extent contemplated by
Governor Branllette-that of protecting
the civil officers of the Government when
called upou-would have been Just and
nroner. b., nvt uunUent with this, it was
determined by those who had control of al-
fairs on the anti-slavery side to make a
mockery OF the election-to trample under
foot all laws, State and NATIONAL and carry
the day by a coup de main upon the ballot
box. They found out before long, that in
heating furnace for their foes they had
singed themselves. Some of the best anti
slavery men in the city of Lexington, seeing
how matters were being conducted, declined
to vote at all, and others, to rebuke such
lawlessness, voted against their principles,
and in favor of the conservative ticket. This
know to be a fact.
The result of the election was an over
whelming defeat of the Radical ticket in
this Observation-Disclosures to variety of causes
chief among which was the late order of
General Palmer, for the issue of passes to
such negroes as choose to apply for them,
which seems to have had no other effect
than to fill the city and all the adjacent
towns with colored vagrants. 1t is true
the pass is ostensibly given to the negro
to authorize him to look for employ
ment, but the unsophisticated negro regards
it as title deed to perennial leisure, and
doesen' trouble himself about work while
he can draw Government rations, and bask
in August sunshine, none daring to molest
him Or make him afraid.
Another cause Of failure was the bad man
agement of the campaign on the Radical
ticket. There was scarcely any efforts made
to inform the minds of the people upon the
issue pending, through the instrumentality
of popular speakers and large meetings.
The Congressional candidates debated at
different points but General Fry had and an
unfortunate way of increasing Shanklin' S
vote every time he spoke. Then came the
prescription to cap the climax Of folly and
madness, and to give the Conservative tick
ct a majority of about 10000.
And in this, my last letter on 'Affairs in
Kentucky" | can not help saying they are
in had way.
Vale! MACK.

City Life

Of all the unneighbOring places, a great
city is the most strangely inhuman. You
may live months[years, even-with only an
eight-inch wall separating you from people
you never see, whose names you may learn
by accident, and who are happy and sorrow
ful-who are borne, married and buried
without you knowing it.
You hear the pianO-forte on the other
side Of the wall, or the cry of child, or joy
Gus laughter. You see the physician S
chaise standing at the door, and infer that
somebody is sick. Some day there comes
hearse and several carriages, and you know
that somebody is dead, and that is all you
know of what has happened within six feet
of you. But for the wall, you could have
lain in your bed and shaken hands with the
sick person-or laid it on a corpse.
All around you are hundreds of dwellings
crowds Of people. There are intelligent
converse, and loving hearts, with whose joys
in the midst of all these riches of life, you
may be as utterly and desolately alone, and
severed from all human sympathy, as our
friend Robson Crusoe.
You may sit next to your nearest neigh
Dor in church, or at the theater; but you are
none the less strangers In the country, il
he lived ten miles away, you would get ac-
quainted-in the city, only ten inches sepa-
rate your parlors, your dining rooms and
your bed chambers, and it is an impossible
barrier. 1t is quite possible that the man
whose friendship you could trust, or the wo-
man whose love might be the happiness of
your life, eats, drinks and sleeps close by
you-just the other side of a brick and two
inches of plaster, and yet you are forever
lost to each other; because though hunger
may go through stone walls etiquette will
notallow human sympathy to pierce through
brick ones.
Few people starve for want of food in the
great city, but millions starve for want of
friendship, sympathy. kindness and love-
And what is more wonderful, the nearer you
bring men together, the more unneighborly
they pet

1t Pays to take the Papers.

A capital story is told us of an old farm
er in the northern part of this county, who
had been Saving up to take up mort
gage of $4,000 held against him by man
near the sea shore, The farmer had saved
up all the money in gold, fearing to trust
the banks in war times. Week before last
he lugged down his gold and paid it over,
when the following colloquy ensued:
'Why you don't mean to give this $2,-
900 in gold, do you?'' said the lender.

his old friends, when his eyes fell upon a
| golden ear of wheat resting upon a broad
braid of black hair. The light that sprang
to his eyes, and the smile upon his lips, car

life of patient writing such new spring of
happiness, that the words of polite greeting
fell upon ears that scarcely heard them.
Truel true! her trust repaid! her long con-
stancy rewarded.
No one else noted more than the quiet
greeting of old friends, but two hearts were
full of deep joy-rest after weary longing
One and another of the guests were invit-
ed by the returned Australian TO a house
warming, learning, for the first time, that n

Everybody accepted, of course, and many
young heart futtered at the thought that so
splendid mansion must soon need mis-
tress.
One week soon glided away. Aunt Fanny
was very kind in helping to trim new peach
colored silks for the sisters; but there was
an odd smile ON her lips when Lawrence
Lanes matrimonial prospects were dis
cussed.
The evening came at last Carriage af-
fer carrige set down its load of fair beauties
before the superb house, whose every win
dow blazed with light. Merry voices rang
through hall and rooms; gay footsteps flew
from one beautiful apartment to another,
until it was whispered-no one knew by
whom-that the revelers were invited to a
wedding. The closed doors which shut off
a small room from long drawing-room
were watched eagerly, as the guests assem-
bled, and no host came forth to welcome
them.
At last they opened. The tall handsome
hero of the hour, small, white-robed fig
ure, with long vail of white concealing
every feature, the good old clergyman of
Silverdale, and Mr.. Leslie, formed the group
disclosed. The short, impressive service
was read, and every ear was strained to
catch the name. More than one gasp of
astonishment greeted the clearly pronounced
"Frances Somers," and when the servica
was concluded, and the bride vail removed,
more than one ill-natured whisper was di-
rected at Lawrence Lanes taste in choosing,
when all the beauty of Silverdale was be-
fore him, that little old maid!''

Be frank with the world. Frankness is
the child of honesty and courage Say just
what you mean to do on every occasion, and
take it for granted you mean. to do what is
right, IF a friend ask you faver, you
should grant it, if it is reasonable; if it is
not tell hirl plainly why you cannot. You
will wrong him and wrong yourself by
equivocation of any kind. Never do a
wrong thing to make friend or to keep
one; the man who requires you to do SO is
dearly purchased, and at sacrifice. Deal
kindly and firmly with all men, and
you will find it the policy which wears the
best. Above all, do not appear to others
what you are not If you have any fault to
find with any one, tell him, not Others, of
what you complain. There is no more dan
gerous experiment than that of undertaking
to be one thing to mans face, and another
behind his back. We should live, sct and
speak out of doors, as the phrase is, and say
and do what we are willing should be known
and read by all men. 1t is not only bost as q

ILL BE TRUE.
BY ELIzABETH CLARK.

By the golden summer air,
BY the rose and lilly rare,
BY the lakes and rivers fair,
BY the beauty everywhere,
Do swear that I'll be true,
For the love bear TO you.
In the silence of the night,
When the stars are glowing bright,
When the moons soft, silvery light,
Beams upon my weary sight,
Then to you III be true,
For the love bear to you.
When the storms are threatening loud.
And there's danger i'm the cloud;
When witt years my form is bowed,
And my life with cares endowed,
Then I'll love, and I'll be true,
To myself, my love, and you.
And the years my life shall know,
Bring their riches, joy or woe;
When my hair is white as snow,
With the years that come and go,
Then and always I'll be true,
Then and always love but you.
