rich men of large proportion OF their incomes,
put he objected to a tax that came into the
househO' d and into the private affairs and do
nestle relations of every individual.
Mr.MOrgan of Ohio remark ed that all systems
OF taxation were unpopular, but he believed
that the income tax was the most just OF the
whole system of internal revenue 1t was
change it would be to increase the exemption
to $1,000. He hoped the House would refuse
to concur in the Senate amendment.
MT. Schenck thought the complaint OF the
gentleman from New York (Mr. WOODY as to
the inquistonial character of the tax was in
some respects well founded and part Of the
DUTY OF the Committee on Ways and Means
would be to modify the law in some sue n par
tcuiar, but SO far as the tax itself was concern
ed ms own opinion was that the general inter-
nal revenue taxation could not be reduced
$5O,OOU,OOO as proposed on other matters OF
taxation, which were really more odlous and
vexatious. The income tax tax was most clam
ored about because those who paid it were in
the way of making such clamor, but it was
regarded by the masses of the people as fair
and proper tax laid on those who were most
able to pay taxes. The total number of persons
who parid income tax was 272, S43. Ofthis num-
Der over 100000 paid twenty dollars or less,

After further discussion, in which Messrs.
Voorhees,, Coburn and others favored the con-
tinuance of the income tax, the House refused
to lay the bill on the table, and then refused to
concur in the Senate substitute, leaving the
Senate to ask for a committee of conference if
it chooses.

PORTLAND THEATRE-Miss Josie orion. one
OF the brightest soubretto actresses on the
American stage, commences an engagement at
this theatre tonight, supported by John Muir
ray (who needs no introduction from us) and a
large dramatic company. The play for the
evening is "Frou- Frou," the latest Partisan
sensation, which has had such successful run
in the larger cities.
The title means something light and frivol.
Gus, and is the pet name of a young French
girl, pretty and capricious. She has been
spoiled by weak father aud indulgent sist er,
aud is in love with one Sartorys. Two candi-
dates seek her hand in marriage one Valreas,
a dandy and exquisite the other Sartorys, am
bilious, with great career before him, who,
IN delightful Ignorance of wOman's nature,
imagines he can control and mould the girl at
his "Own sweet will" Louise, the sister, in a
tit OF self-sacrifce, urges Frou-FrOu to marry
Sartorys, although she does not love him. Ar
rived at Paris Sartorys plunges at once into
public business and suffers his young and
charming wife to get into fast set; young
Valreas constantly dances attendance upon
her and a wicked old woman fosters their con-
stanty growing intimacy. Louise comes to
live with them, takes chagge of the neglected
household and child, but utterly ignores her
sisters danger. The model husband, blind as
a bat, also suffers his wife to drift on, until
some private theatricas "fOr the benefit of the
poor" by breaking down the barriers of re-
serve between them, precipitates the crisis and
this poor weak child, making desperate effort
once more to regain her place in her house
hold, fails, and she flies to Italy with Valreas.
He is afterwards shot by her husband; she
falls in hasty consumption, the approved
thing under the circumstances and after Civ
ing the child and husband to Louise she clears
the situation of all difficulties and dies in her
husbands arms. The dialogue is sparkling
and the situations effective.

Commemorative were in error in IN article
in Saturdays issue, relative to the late I. N.
Felch, in stating that he was the originator
and proprietor of the Erening Courier, which
was afterwards changed in name to Ecening
Star, and more recently to that Of the Daily
Advertiser. Justice to the memory of so
promising and enterprising young man as
the late Samuel s. Starbird, who did originate
the Courier in the year 1859, demands that the
credit of the origin of that Industrious journal
should be given to him. Mr.. Starbird carried
it on for some two or three years, then Mr.. A.
d. Brock of Bangor was associated with him
in the editorial and publishing departments
and in few years afterwards both sold out to
Mr.. Felch. Mr.. Starbird was practical prin-
ter, who could "wield the pen of a ready
writer" as we'll a. handle the composing stick.
