THE MORAL or 4 BOAT RACE.


To-day the picked crew of Harvard sails for
England to row the International Boat Race,
against the picked crew of Oxford The
National Bird firted an additional feather on
learning that English bets, which had stood 100
to 80 were offered and taken at even when
the betting men heard of Harvard's two recent
victories. But We do not advise any Harvard
Senior to beggar himself, through class
pride, in wagers on the proves of his
fellows. Logically, of course we cannot be
beaten--America against the World! The citi-
zens of free Republic, the young blood of
Liberty, must outrow and outlast the thrall of
an oppressive monarchy, the efiete result of
Tyranny. Yet let us not forget that there are
accidents which may cheat us of justice. There
is the accident of unfamiliar waters, for in
stance, of q new boat, of WEAKNESS after
voyage, not to mention the not impossible acct
dent of brawnier muscle and better wind in
the rival crew. If we win, why of course it is
proved that we are much the best fellows, that
our scholarship is resplendent, and our states
manlike and diplomatic abilities above cavil
And if We lose, what have wei
This, at least-we have gained, il seems to
us-a wider and more honorable recognition of
the value of physical culture than has before
been accorded. Perhaps Cambridge on Charles
had not student whom she could send to
match an Oxford double first in scholarship,
but she sends these five gallant young fellows,
with confidence, to match an Oxford FIVE
in bodily force and skill. 1t is not many
years since it took cunning management to

Whether we are to thank Plotinus, or the
monks, or John Calvin, or the fool
ishness of ignorance, most of us were born to
q more or less sublime contempt of the body
as stumbling block in the way to Heaven,
and hinderance TO the highest ambitions of
earth. Our scorn was the lineal descendant of
the old Oriental notion that the head (the
brain or the souI was the man. Originally il
rolled along on the ground, but that being
| found inconvenient the body was built TO
give it q cogn of vantage tower
from which to take its observations
Oriental wisdom, however, found the expert
ment failure. For no sooner was the acces-
sorry completed, than it declared itself the
chief, and, instead of being the humble servitor
of the soul, the soul had to concern itself dill
gently to content its inordinate demands
| Therefore, these philosophers used to starve il
into submission. They believed that Matter
twas Evil, and Spirit was Good, and 50
the poor body came in only for abuse
Even in Paul's day the warfare was supposed
TO be 80 fierce between the devil or the body,
and the angel or the soul, that that valiant
Saint beat his poor carcass black aud blue to

The London Times misappreciates the Ameri-
can position in it's insinuation that the resOlu-
ton of England not TO make what 1t esteems
a further concession in the matter of our claims
is the cause of more moderate and tractable
tone on the part of the United States. We are
not aware that the United States did ever
make an impossible or unreasonable demand
in that respect, mauger the excited arithmetic
of our neighbors across the water-we are
not sure that Great Britain has ever
made us a profitable concession in that
particular. Simple obstinacy on the part of En-
gland would only have the effect of keeping
up standing irritation, and prolOnging a
dangerous precedent. British opinion will
comprehend our case when it admits all the
force of its general concession that the Ala
bama case was gross wrong. With that van
tage ground we are morally safe. For the rest
we agree with The Times that the public are
wearied with the question. When it comes up
again we hope it will be refreshed by prac-
teal settlement or some misunderstood terms
apprOximatng thereto

THE INCOME TAX.

We submit herewith another Eight-Page Sup
plement, which we have printed in order to
present at one view a tabular exhibit of the In
comes returned by the citizens of the five Con-
gress districts contiguous to this City, and
whose taxpayers in good part are here en-
gagged in business. We have arranged the In
comes by Cities-BrOOklyD, Newark, Jersey
City, HObOken-and the residue by counties
each list alphabetically, so far as we could
There may be Two Thousand more City men
who reside outside of these limits. in districts
mainly rural; but these five are all that are
largely inhabited by our business men.
1t will be seen that they contain more In
come Taxpayers than reside in our City; but
their aggregate Incomes and 1ncOme-Tax are
considerably less. We presume they are about
as fairly returned as those of the City proper
are-some persons making full, honest returns /;
others, balf-Teturns others, none at all. Let
each reader seek out the Incomes of those with
whose circumstances he is acquainted; he can
pretty surely determine which Of them are as
honest as the law requires, and those which
are not. The scrutiny is wholesome, and will
result in great public good. 1t has cost us
about $4,000, while our gain from it is no
greater than that of any other law-loving
citizen.
1t will be seen that Gas in the City, both the
aggregate of Incomes returned and the num-
Der of Income Taxpayers show a decided in
crease in 1868 over 1867. The increase appears
more decided in the suburbs than in the City
but this results from the fact that our citizens,
as they get ahead in the world, migrate to the
adjacent country and this process has of late
been quickened by the increase of suburban
railways. ...t-- r..-.
The Income Tax expires by limitation after
one more payment. We heartily rejoice at
this; for it would be difficult to devise another
tax so unequal, so widely evaded, or so con-
ducive to fraud and perjury, as this is. -..

for curious and valuable facts and inferences

The latest Interpretation of the issue in
France makes it appear that the Legislature
is as unwilling to make exaggerated claims as
the Emperor is to make exaggerated resistance.
Consequently, it is presumable that Napoleon
will admit his liege Liberals to some share of
the imperial initiative, and cOncede a measure
of the principle of representative and respon-
sible government. We ought to add that he
will abandon the useful NJ. Rouher for the
more ornate and liberal NJ. Olivier. The
Opposition have raised an earnest cry against
the Emperor's Fright hand" and the abdica-
ton of that vigorous instrument is imminent.
The Cable repeats mot to the effect that NJ.
Rouher had been told by one of the journals
to "clear out,-yOur time has come" but that
the great man replied: al know it-but my
{" wife won It resign" Here is a question to be
settled with the Empress and Madame Rouher,
and not with their grim spOuses-a question,
we take it, of wOmen's rights.

The Ninth Army Corps had grand clam
bake on the 9TH inst, at Rocky Point, X. /. 1t
is well known that there are no clans in the
world which approach in succulence the clans
of Rhode Island, and in no other State is the
art of baking them scientifically understood.
1t is the more remarkable, therefore. when the
Corps had satisfied itself with these delicious
bivalves, that it should 81 give prolonged
" groan for Gov. Sprague" our own experience
being that after a sufiiciency (and something
over) of the Rhode Island CLANS we have been
filed inexprossibly with peace, love, and good
will toward all mankind. We confess, however,
that we have never tried them for the Sprague

first TO teach magnificent truth about Natui.e
when he wrote to the material Romans that
they were to offer their bodies living sacrifices.
That was the first hint that the maligned flesh
and blood could be consecrated.
| We have been nearly two thousand years
finding out all that the fine saying
can be made to mean; but we seem
TO be getting at it at last. Now
and then a story is preserved which shows us
how marvellous is the result of the absolute
health of any function. How many leagues
away the Greek sailors saw the figure of Mi
nerva on the Parthenon! How the followers
of George Fox thought they had seen mir
acle when, aflame with his own emotion, he
received no bruise from the crowbar of the
terrible Smith We cannot guess the illumi-
nation which would flow in on the spirit if only
the windows of the body were open. But we
have kept them down, nailed them down with
bad habits and neglect. There is not spring
of all this fine machinery of the body which we
have not Overstrained or suffered to rust I'M
used. Now, these students, who want some
thing of their thews and sinews, treat their
whole organization with the most delicate re-
spect. They are temperate, chaste, industrious,
active, clearly, serene, simple. They consider
their dress, their diet their exercise, their divis
ion of hours, whether they are worthy so fine
mistress as Health. And the result! Their eyes
are brilliant, their skins ivOry-smOoth and pure
their step elastic their sleep infantile, their mus
cles firm as steel. And with it all comes clear
ness of mental conditions, freedom from base
temptations which fairly belong to that being
who is but a little lower than the angels, but
who has, through ignorance made himself but
little higher than the brutes. The boat-race
has given us, then, what we shall equally pos
sess in defeat or victory-fve apostles of physical
health, every one of whom has seen the
beauty of the religion of the body, and
every one of whom, whether he means 1T
or not, will make converts Even if he falls
away from this grace, he cannot forget his
nober estate, and he will rise to it again. To
slender nervous, thin-chested people like
ourselves, the gospel of physical development
cannot be too often or too vigorously
preached. The mistake we have made has
been to imagine the body a prison. The
Harvard Club has found out that it is
palace, and has not only fallen to beautifying
it, but has shown itself kingly in the discovery.
There may be better things TO do with
free soul in a noble body than to row boat
races. But we are much obliged to the boat
race which developed the noble body for the
free soul. By-and-by, something higher, surely

At the celebration of the New-England La
Dor Reform Association in birmingham, Mass,
last Monday, a clergyman named Richardson adj
vised workingmen to emigrate more generally
to the West and avail themselves of millions
of acres of fertile land in that section"
Whereupon certain Professor Denton
thought that he had made a sufficient answer
to Mr. Richardson when he said; "Too many
people could be cultivating the soil as well
Gas making boots and shOes.n But too many
"people" we would suggest, cannot be culti-
waiting the soil while there are millions of
"acres of fertile land" uncultiyated, and while
prices remain at their present rate. We don't
know what Professor" Denton is Professor
of-certainly not of economical truth.

Our esteemed friend, Oakley Hall, esq, Mayo

Our esteemed friend, Oakley Hall, esq, Mayor,
&c, &c, predicted at Tammany on Monday
last that Gen. Grant would be turned out of
the Republican party in less than four years,
just as the Great Andy Johnson was. We
fully agree with Oakley, that if Gen. Grant
should begin to exhibit any of the moral in
tellectual, or rhetorical peculiarities of A. John
son, then it would be the duty of the Repub-
lican party to drop the said General, with even
greater alacrity than they showed in disclaim-
ing responsibility for Andy. If Oakley, as his
name implies, is descended from the Ancient
Druids, his prophetic powers do little credit to
his ancestors. We think that he must have
come from the Msletoes, and that he ISN'T
really an Oakley at all.

1t gives us pleasure to state that among :" the

at birmingham, although there was an essay
on Edmund Spenser," and poem entitled
"The Wood PATH" there was also paper read
by Miss Julia C. Clarke of Manchester, n. H.,
on "The Natural Sciences in the Common
Schools" The reporter says that it was a
sound, sensible production though we do
not highly value the reporters opinion of it.
He might have said the same thing if it had
been merely Sound and altogether silly. But
we do like the subject The young woman
who selected it may not be thinking very accu-
rately or originally, but at any rate she is
probably thinking; and she is to be thanked
for not giving that most distressing of intlic-
tons. a poetical effusion.n
