The Harvard and oxford Boat Race.

Inc hdENnTu anu WAAVAA G0&st A@sS~Gs
Now that this great race is ended,
aud the Oxfords declared the winner,
it may not be uninteresting to note
some of the disadvantages under
which the Harvard boys labored.
We find these set forth in the Boston
Journal of the 25th ult., two days in
advance of the race:
We are glad to observe that the
London Times, in discussing the ap.
preaching international boat race, is
Obliged to confess that there seems
to be notion that the Americans
| have conceded too much for the race
1 to be a fair trial of strength and skill
| between the representative oaTsmen
| Of the two countries" 1t ought to
| be distietly understood that in three
particulars. having an important bear
ing upon the result of the race, the
Harvards have been compelled to
yield, and the Oxfords have had
it all their own way. In the
| first place, the Oxfords made
it an indispensable condition
that the Harvards, against all their
rowing habits and convictions, should
take a eoxswain. Secondly, they were
| equally obstinate in insisting upon the
| crooked and difficult Putney course,
with which they were perfectly famil-
lar. These two changes, 1t was found
rendered worthless the style of boat
| to which the Earvards have always
been accustomed, so that they are
obliged to experiment In that direc-
ton almost up to the day Of the race
; Finally, the Harvard Grew, affected
by the voyage across the ocean, want
ed a later day set for the race. with an
option in regard to the weather; but
the Oxfords would have the 9th, foul
or shine. 1t will be seen, therefore
that In the matter of coXsWain, race
course, boat and time of race, the
Harvards have yielded to their antag.
onists, like true Paladins," as the
Times says, who would rather fight
on any terms than not at all.
OF course these things are not men
toned in the way of complaint, and
still less In preparation for appre.
, hended defeat. They are part of the
elements Of the match as il stands, tc
be taken into account by all disinter.
| ested persons, no matter what may be
| the result of the race. The HarVards
as the paper we have quoted truly
says, encounter the Oxfords on theii
own waters, ia their OWN way" but
it should he remembered that they
are obliged to do this, in order t.
have any encounter at all. They dc
it cheerfully, too, and with a self.
poised and plucicy bearing which has
| evidently made a strong impression
upon all fair-minded Englishmeu
They adhere to the American style Of
rowing just so far as the English con.
ditions imposed upon the race vii
allow them to do.

in the drawing with the unSoId tickets.
This he does Z OF desire 10 do, nor would we

The IscOme Tax,

The New York Tines, some days
since, supported the income tax, but
thought the rate might be dimin-
ished On the 10th that journal
comes again to the defense of this
tax, and seems to grow in favor of it
as its merits are more considered.
After showing that it is liable to no
objection that does not lie with equal
or greater force against every tax, the
Times says:
1t lightens the burden of the poor,
and sends the tax collector to the
man who Is earning the most money
for the largest contribution toward
the expenses Of the Government. The
working classes in England know
this, and hence the income tax is
popular with them. The correspond.
ing class here will soon make the
same discovery. The rich are not
oppressed by the tax, for they can
afford to pay it. The principle OBJ
JectIORs of theorists can, in truth,
make no way against sound and ben
ehelal method of obtaining relief for
government in seasons of difficulty.
We are gratifed to learn that at
least one eastern journal, whose pro
pletors are blessed with large in
comes, has the honesty to advocate
the retention of the income tax. As
the Times says, the Income Tax can
not, IN any way, Cypress the laboring
classes who have no incomes, but comes
exclusively from those who have
large surplus. Unlike Indirect taxes
such as are collected from stamns
and duties on imports, the Income
Tax cannot be charged against The
| poorer classes by increasing the cost
of their living or house rent 7, i
exclusively tax upon surplus aeon
mutations, and consequently can bs
easily sustained by those who
enjoy the incomes upon which it i
based. 1t Is true, men will seek to
evade it by perjury. but they also seek
to evade taxes levied upon persona
! "~"perty for Township, County O,
.1tal.N purposes. 1t would be as rea
sonable to insist on abolishing al
taxes on personal property as to re
peal the income tax because mel
evade it. Abolish the income tax
and the bondholders would go FIRE,
indeed. They now are exempt from
ordinary taxation, and strike Gu
the tax on the income the,
derive from their investment in bonds
and they would be released from al
share in supporting the burdens 0
Government.
We hope the papers of the COUNT
will speak out on this subject befor
the assembling Of Congress, becaus
it is now manifest that capitalists vii
make a determined effort to have tn
Income Tax repealed.

HOME CHEERFULNEss. - Many a
child goes astray, not because there is
a want of prayer or virtue at home,
but simply because home lacks sun
shine. A child needs smiles as much
as flowers need sunbeams. Children
look little beyond the present mo.
ment; if d thing pleases they are apt
to seek it; if it displeases, they are
prone to avoid it. IL home Is the
place where the faces are sour and
the words harsh, and fault finding is
ever in the ascendant. they viii spend
as many hours as possible elsewhere.
Let every father and mother, then, try
to be happy. Let them look happy.
Let them talk to their children, espe-
cially the little ones, in such a way as
to make them happy.

AN arrangement has been entered
into by the trustees of the Cincinnati
public schools and Archbishop PUR-
CELL, Of the Catholic Church, by
which the Catholic schools of that
city will be consolidated with the pub
lie schools. One Of the conditions Of
the consolidation is that the Bible
shall be banished altogether from the
schools. and not be used in any event.
Fl looks a little strange to see a relig-
ious denomination objectiOg to the
use of the Holy Scriptures. The
compromise is regarded by many as
eDdangeriDg the future usefulness of
the schools.

The Secret of Gen. Grants Mlgra-

ltuHaa
Our Democratic contemporaries
have been greatly exercised over the
disposition manifested by General
GRAFT to visit different sections of
the country, and witaess for himself
the workings Of the governmental
machinery in the hands of his subor-
dinates. A hue aud cry has been
kept up so persistently that some Of
the Presidents own friends have
almost been persuaded that it would
be more In consonance with the dig
nifty of his position to remain in
Washington, and do less running
about. But General GRANT always
took his own way of doing his own
business, and only asked that he be
judged by the results accomplished
rather than by the manner adopte d.
So, we think his visiting at New
York, Long Branch, and the
New England States, will be
found to result in some
thing of more Importance than
the mere qualification of love Of
pleasure. In these visits hemakes the
acquaintance Of the leading men Of
the various localities in which they
live. Through them he learos the
operations Of his appointees and the
manner in which they discharge the
duties Of their various positions. lie
