rRoUBADoUx MUNGEN.

Mr. Mungen was the victim of mis-
placed confidenoeanin two. Democratic
politicians, who deceived him into ap-
to the Naval Academy the son Of
a Radical Republican, and divided $500
between them as the profits Of the job.
1t appears that in Mr. Mungen' s town Of
Findley there lives one c. B. Wilson, a
fierce Democrat, whom Mungen has al
ways held as his bosom friend. Wilson
learned, about year ago, from J.. I.
Brotherton, a lawyer living at Lima, in
an adjoining county, that J. T. Ander-
son of that town was willing to pay
something to get his son sent 10 Annap-
oils. Anderson was a republican, but
they determined not to let politics Inter
fere with business, and without much
trouble induced Mr.. NIugen to make the
appointment Anderson paid $500 of,
which SIS went to Brotherton and S725
to Wilson. Mungen never dreamed that
he had appointed the son of a Republic
an until the fact came out before the
committee. All the Andersons he knew
in his District were Democrats, and he
naturally supposed that any one recom-
mended by. his two Democratic friends
would be of the same stripe, He did
not suppose they were specializing on his
credulity. i. iq.slrf

THE INCOME TAX.


A Washington correspondent says the
committee Of Ways and Means will
repora a tax bill with, thirty millions reduc-
ton, and the House before it is through
will make the reduction fifty millions.
The committee viii ask re-enactment
of the income tax, possibly with reduc-
ton to three per cent. and an enlarge
ment of the deduction to two thousand
dollars; but the House is quite likely to
refuse to reenact it altogether. Mr..
Boutwell, pleads earnestly for it as a just
tax and easily collected. In a sense, it
is a. lust tax. 1t is fair enough that
wealthy people should pay heavy
taxes; but this tax bears most A1tegnalZ,
upon the people, and it IS a powerful
incentive to dishonesty. 1t may be said
almost to drive some people to misrep-
resentation and falsehood, only that no
temptation, no oppression are an excuse
for dishonesty. 1t is a fact nevertheless
that unequal and offensive taxes always
result in deceit and prevarication. 1t is
mean, inquisitorial, unequal, and in
many respects unjust tax; and It tends
dreadfulIy to corrupt the business men
of the country. Therefore, let it be re-
pealed and, if that cannot be, let it be
greatly reduced and the worst features
abolished s

MUSIC AS ALANaUAGE.


The expressiveness Of music, as a
means of communication between two
sympathetic natures is. but little appre-
ciated. To what degree it attains. in
exceptional instances, IS well illustrated
IN the case of MendelSsohn and his sis
ter. They often employed music in
their correspondence to convey their
feelings. In 1880 Mendelssohn wrote to
her as follows:
81 received your letter of the 9Th this
morning / see from it that you are not
yetiquite well. wish / were with you,
and could see you and talk to you ; but
this IS impossible, so Ihave written a
song for You expressive OF my zOtSlfeS and
thoughts. You were in my mind when
/ composed it, and 1 was in a tender
mood There is indeed nothing very
new in it. You know me well, and what
/ am; in no respect L am changed, so
you may smile at this and rejoice. l

for you, bit none 6eiksr,' and this letter,
too, shall contain nothing else You
know that am always your own and
may it please God to bestew. on you all
that hope and pray ..i-asas.e. nod
Then there followed an exquisite an
dante in A major, in which were poured
fourth such sympathy and comfort as
words could not express. Letters like
this were not unusual between them, and
possessed a rare tenderness of feeling.

On the Sth inst, Gen B. F. BUTLER
appointed a colored ! ! boy named
Charles Sumner Wilson, ofSalem, Mass,
cadet to the Military Academy at
West Point. The aPPointee IS of about
the same complexion as Senator Reveis,
" years of age, and graduate ofthe
Salem High School. His father was a
private in the 55th Massachusetts Volun-
teers during the late war, and was
killed in battle, and his mother has been
supporting him by her toll as a seam
stress. Young Wilson ranks among the
hrst of his class at Salem, and Gen. But
Ter selected him on his merits as a
scholar, and for the services his father
had rendered the country. This is the
first case of the appointment of a colored
boy to the Military Academy This ap--
pointment has caused a fresh outburst o
indignation and grief from the
Cincinnati Enquirer, and other Domo-
cratic organs. They think the country
is going on from bad to worse. Social
