DR.. johnson used to say that habit
Of looking at the bright side of every
event is better than 81, 900 a year
Bishop Hall quainiy remarks: tFor
every bad there might be worse, and
when a man breaks bis leg, let him be
thankful that it was not his neck. -
When Fenelon's library was on fire,
"God be praised, he exclaimed, ''that
it is not the dwelling of some poor man."
This is the true spirit Of cheerfuiness
and submission, one of The most beau
tifuI traits that can possess the human
heart.

THE WOMAN OF STENAY.-The Lei,
raine peasant loves to narrate the story
of the woman of Stenay" who offered
barrel of wine to a detachment Of
Austrians, saying: ''You are thirsty,
friends, drink; you are welcome to all
my store," drinking as she spoke a cup
full in their honor The soldiers accept
ed with pleasure, and in few minutes
four hundred men were writing on the
ground in agony.
Then the "Woman Of Stenay" rose,
and with her dying gasp shrieking out,
"You are all poisoned ! Vive la
France !" fell back a corpse.
This is a legend Of Lorraine, and the
memory of its heroine is revered by the
peasantry as that Of Charlotte Corday.

The Income Tax-1he Duplieity of the


To the as;onislment of the country, and in
contempt of the people, the Senate OF the
United States, on Friday night, when there
was scarcely quorum present, restored the
income tax to the Tax and Tariff bill.
The prcteyt for this outrage upon public
opinion was that the amount OF revenue
which it was estimated would be derived
under the law as il then stood was so small
that il was not safe 10 allow it to pass with.
out adding 10 II the tax on incomes or gross
receipts. Ii the question is reduced to Il
choice between these two sources Of revenue,
no Senator comprchcnding tie subject and
disposed to leg slate for the public good
Should have any difficulty in settling it.
The income tax, il has been r,Icltclly
shown, is eyadcd ~ more than twothirls 81
those who are subject TO its provisions.
1t is inquie.torial, annoying, o2gr4va-
ting. 1t is unconstitutional for the rca.
son that it is n direct tax, and tho Cons,jtu.
ton provides that ell direct taxes shall be
apportionod among the several States ac-
cording TO Their respective numbers. Indi-
rect toN,s are either excise taxes, or such as
are collected by customs duties The in.
come tax is direct tax; but il i.
not appouioued among the several States,
nor is it proposed TO SO apportion it
in the LII now under consideration. 10 do
80 would be to cqualzc it, and that is not the
object Of those who are pressing it. II II
well known that scvcn-cghths of the whole
amount of the income tax was paid by the
States east of the Allcghani.s and north Of
the Potomac.
Another objection to It is that only about
forty per cent. of it ever reached the Treas
ury. The romander-sxty per cent--wcnt
into the pockets of Government officials.
The present tax is one that domoralzcs the
public, lowering the standard of integrity.
1t is paid almost wholly by the middling
classes such as clerks, bookkeepers, small
tradesmon, and mechanics. The rich cvade

Have we an Ice Monopoly Among Us =.

IuNe we an Ice IuOnOpOIl hnlOnE ts
Cold az ice is, the manipulation OF it in
this vicinity has given rise to excitement.
The kniclerbocker Ice Company is an i'm
mcnsc concern Its capital and experience
give it almost absolute control of thu ice
market. 1t is a sort of Bio Six in ice. Retail
vendors of ice purchase the crystalline com
modify from the Knickerbocker Company for
about ten dollars a ton. Some of these
dealers also hold stock in the Company, and
are therefore intimately associated with it,
When the ice reaches private families it
costs them one cent and half pound, or
thirty dollars a ton. The butchers get 1t for
one cent pound.
On Saturday downtown hardware firm
received directions from gentleman in one
Of the Eastern States to sell for him 500 tons
of ice at $40 ton, or half a cent n pound.
The hardware dealers went to several prom
incnt butchers and offered to sell the ice at
the rate specified. But all the butchers re-
piled that they could not buy it, although
they would be glad to do 80, because If the
knickerbocker Ice Company knew that they
had made such purchase, they would be
excluded from buying of that Company here
after Several hours investigation fully
convinced tho hardware merchants that their
friend had unexpectedly brought them in
contact with great monopoly, through
whose adroit spcculations and combinations
the people of this city are grievously i'm
posed upon.
In the course of their travels, the hard.
ware merchants learned that recently re.
porter of local journal went about VIII.
liamsburgh collecting information concern
ing the manner in which the citizens are
supplied with ice. Many citizens candidly
said that they were getting short weight
aud ice only three times week, when they
were compelled TO pay for having ii six
tines but that they did not want their
names made public because they were
fearful that if the Ice Ring in Willamsburgh
found out that they had complained, they
would cut them Off without any ice at all.
The ice monopoly in this city and its
vicinity should he destroyed by the organiza-
ton of independent companies, that WI
deal fairly with the public. The people
should be able 10 drink ice water without
being required to pay an extorionatc price
for the ice.

tain that no man would travel any cheaper
whether the tax was kept on gross receipts
or not.
A singular feature in the restoration Of
this income tax on Friday night was that
Senator WILSON, who had twice voted to
abandon it, had the GOODNESS to move that
the tax should continue until 1872 "dnd no
LONGER" Tie law, which it is pretended still
exists, requiring the payment of an income
tax, provides that it shall continue until
1870, "dad no longer" What faith can the
public have in Senator who has once VIC.
lated his pledge? Mr.. WILSON voted for the
law that expired on the first of January last,
and he is bound by its provision that 1t shall
continue until 1870, "dRd no longer"
1t is to be hoped that those Senators who
fnvor the abolition Of the tax will not suffer
themselves to be cheated by n midnight vote
restoring IL, when many Of their number
were not present, and when no one suspected
a restoration The people demand that this
question shall be decided by full Senate.
Then the result cannot be doubtful.
