ASHLAND, Neh., 1870
When quote the famous line, "West-
yard the course Of empire takes its way"
either in a public speech or in a private
conversation, my hearers hold me mist0k-
en- beyond all mistake. Sometimes they
tell me so, but they are more oftea con-
tent with silent contempt, for they know
that misquotation is worse than igno-
rance. They say to themselves: The ig-
norant might learn, but he who misquotes
has had the opportunity but could not, or
would not, improve it. His ignorance is,
therefore, hopeless 1t was for such ig-
uoramuses as he that the curt epigram
says:
Thou mayst of double ignorance boast
TLou knowst not that thou nothing knowst.
Hence the satirist reioices over his enemy
whom ne detects "with just enough of
learning to l4isGuote."
Again. if / write, westward the course
,of empire takes it's way in any article for
the press, the compositoT, or least the proof
reader, in pity to my Ignorance (or possi-
blv he may be SO charitable as to call it
an inadvertence), silently changes "course"

Yet 'star" is a vulgar error in this most
popular phrase in America, and ''course"
is the word chosen and written by Bishop
Berkeley, as have been at the pains
needful TO ascertain by consulting the
a,rI;oa+ od;t;op of b;s WORKS
The line in question is the first in the
last stanza of short poem which the good
Bishop wrote in transport of gratitude
and hope, when promised 100000 by the
British ministry, and other aid from indi-
yiduals, for establishing college in Ber-
Nuda for educating the Americans, both
white and red. The whole stauza is:

hPORTANT DECIsION.-Judgo Strong
of the United States Supreme Court, has
lately given another decision at PhilA'
delphja, which is of much interest to the
public in general, and to the Internal
Revenue Bureau in particular. A Mr..
Darlington, Of Westchester, sold some
bond. in 1869, which he bought in
1864, ana paid tax on the profit from
them, as II purt Of his income for 1869
The tax WIS paid under protest, upon the
ruling OF the Commissioner that the prof
il in question was income, and suit
brought to recover the amount, Mr. Oar
iin2tou urging that this profit did not
arise in 1869; that possibly no part of it
arose then; that, in fact, the bonds had
attained a higher value before that year
than he fualiy sold them fog ; and that,
therefore, all the proft was not income OF
1869 nor escertainable income of any
year The Court unanimously decided in
Mr. D4rliugton's favor, the Circuit and
District Judges agreeing with Judge
Strong. The effeot of this decision seems
to be that the profit of a transaction ex-
tending through several years cannot be
axed at all, as the law simply imposes a
TX on uunual income. 1t is certain that
thousands o. dollars have been paid on
such profits reckoned as income hereto
fore, however, and persons who did not
pro.rst At the time of paying have no
chance OF recovery, for it has before been
d-cidsd that even an unjust tax cannot
aa recovered from the Government by "a
O. suit at law, where it was p il without
protest But people who have paid "a tax
heretofore, that Judge Strong now pro-
illegal, will look out sharply in
the fuSure, we may be sure.

now offer. 1 now move the passage of
these resolutions"
Whereas, The Honorable Henry Keyes,
President of this Corporation, our associ-
ate and friend, departed this life, at his
residence in Newbury, Vermont, on the
gath day of September last, we deem it
our first duty, on the assembling of the
surviving Directors, to pause moment
at his grave, and render a just tribute to
his memory; and it is therefore
ReS0l0ed That in the death of President
Keyes strong man has fallen, who for
more than twenty years, amid impeding
obstacles, and surrounded with peril,
staked his own fortune, and with unfalter-
ing courage and energy stood foremost in
carrying forward great public work, for
the benefit of mankind, to its final con-
summation and BY his untimely
death this corporation has lost its chief,
and our country a public benefactor.
Res0lged, That we lament the death of
our friend, not solely or chiefly that it
sewers ties rendered close and tender by
long and arduous labors in a common en-.
terprise, for death comes to all men; but
that there has now fallen man of the
highest capacity for important service, in
the full vigor of his manhood and at the
full tide of his usefulness, and when the
honor of achievement and the laurel of
victory has been honorably won--for this,
with him, was but the pledge of nobler
purposes and higher service.
ResoI008, That whiio mourn THE
irreparable loss, we shall ever cherish his
memory with an abiding affection; and
we do hereby tender to his widow and
children our sincere sympathy and con-
dolence in this their sad bereavement.
Res0B0ed, That in token of respect for
his memory these resolutions be placed
upon the permanent records of this COR
poration; and that duly authenticated
copy be transmitted to his widow and
family.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Marta ut the Academy.

The McCulloch- -Brlgnoli Opera Troupe opened 81
the Academy last night with "Marta," and
although the chorus and orchestra were both
weak, the performance was good throughout, and
In some striking particulars all that could be de-
sired
Miss McCuiloch, who was warmly greeted upon
her appearance, has evidently improved greatly
since her last performance in Charleston. Her
yocalIzatIon Is more even, and her acting more
warm and natural. In the "Spinning Wheep'
quartette her singing was excellent, and "Qul Ia
sola VergIn Rosa" was so chastely and tenderly
rendered that 1t was loudly encored.
Slgnor Brignoli was in fine voice, singing with
far more than his usual fire. This was apparent
throughout the third act in which the famous air,
"M' appari tutt'amor," was sung by the charm
ing tenor with perfect taste and expression. This
was encored.
Sgnor Petrllli, who Is, by the way, an excel
lent actor, sang the drinking song capitally.
Miss Henne, who has pleasant contralto voice,
sings and acts with skill, as well as with pquancy
and judgment.
At the close of the performance the company
were called before the curtain.
Tonight we have the well known "Trovatore," f"
in which to hear Brignoli sing, "Ah 81 ben mio'
and "a che la morte," is worth o trip to the icy
Pole.
Opening of the Hibernicon.
This pleasing panoramic representation OF
tour to Ireland, delineating upon nseveralthousand
feet of canvas the grand natural scenery OF the
country Of the shamrock, with its lovely lakes,
magnificent rivers and towering architectural
triumphs, was well attended last night The lec-
turer, Mr.. MacEvoy, accompanied the various
views presented with an entertaining, and at
times, humorous description OF the most promi-
nent features connected with the exhibition,
which added greatly to its appreciation. Mr..
Jerry Cohan, as "Barney." the Guide, provoked
storms Of applause in his presentations Of Irish
character, and the songs by the ladies contrib
uted to make up a very agreeable entertainment.
There is really much OF merit In this series Of pan
oramic views, which will be fully unfolded tonight
again, the entire panorama being displayed, with
new songs and character presentations
The Ball Tonight.
The grand ball tonight at the new Music Hall,
Academy Of Music building, promises to be the
most brilliant and successful AFFAIR OF the season.
Our German friends are always happy in their
endeavors to get up an entertainment Of this
kind, and when, as now, they are working In q
religious or charitable cause, there is, for them,
no such word as fail.
