TIE SAILORS STORY" I've been fif-

that in all parts of the world could get

it will burn faster, and putting brandy to

At the Last.


The stream is caimest when it nears the tide,
And flowers the sweetest at the eventide,
And birds most musical at close of day,
And saints divinest when they pass away
Morning is lovelier, but a holer charm
Lies folded close in evenings robes of balm I;
And weary man must ever love her best,
For morning calls TO toll, but night to rest.
Coming from heaven, she on her wings doth
bear
A holy fragrance, like the breath Of prayer;
Footsteps of angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes of day in peace,
All things are hushed before her as she throws
Ger earth and sky her mantle of repose;
There is calm, a beauty. and power
That morning knows not in the evening
hour.
Until the evening We must weep and toll.
Plow life's stern furrow, dig the weedy soil,
Tread with sad feet our rough and stormy
way,
And bear the heat and burden ofthe day.
Oh when our sun is setting, may we glide
Like summer evening down the golden tide;
And leave behind us when we pass away.
Sweet. starry twilight round our sleeping
clay.

IDAHo.-Readers of the WORLD in the old
er States and Territories desirous of seeking
new homes In desirable localities for health,
fertility of soil, variety of surface, and with
unsurpassed market facilities at good cash
rates, will do well to give serious attention to
the many advantages and inducements of Idaho
Territory. Farmers, mechanics, mill men and
manufacturers, laborers, and business men of
every kind, will find it well worth while to
make settlements and invest capital in this
young and growing Territory. Perhaps no
part of the United States offers higher and
surer premium to well directed industry in al
most every department of human industry than
this Territory, throughout its whole extent.
Let immigration
eCome aleng, haste along, make no delay;
Come from every nation. come from every way"
There is room enough and chance enough for
ALL especially the white man. We hope east
ern cotemporaries of the press and exchanges
will call attention to this important fact.

MEDICAI.-In California the mustard plant
grows to height of seventeen feet, the papers
saw. California mustard is the strongest in the
market. 1t will eat hole right through piece
of ham. and an oroide stomach is necessary to
digest 1t. 1t very justly enjoys the reputation
of being the finest for table use, and of pos
sessing the best medical qualities for external
and internal application OF any variety of mus
tard known. For external purposes as coun-
ter irritant it is invariably used for plasters
when it can be obtained by our physicians. 1t

MARK TwAIN's FoRTUNE.-Mark Twain
lately L" interviewed celebrated fortune tel
Ter of the Hub, and got "soothed" thusly:
Yours was not in the beginning a criminal
nature, but circumstances changed it. At the
age of nine you stole sugar; at fifteen you stole
money at twenty you stole horses; at twenty
five you committed arson, speculated in wild
cat quartz and scribbled for paper; between
this and thirty you practised gymnastics in a
sanctum by sitting in an editorial chair and
standing on your toes in two sptOons with your
legs crossed behind you at one motion" and
at thirty-hardened in crime-you became an
editor. Since then your descent has been as
rapid and headlong as Thurmond's escape from
the Montana Vigilantes on "bucking" mule.
You are now public lecturer, and your SUBJ
jects are bundled up aud carried around the
country by Buffalo Express" Worse things
are in store for you. You will be sent to pen
itentiary; next to Congress; and finally, hap
piness will come to you again-all will be well
you will be hanged

A PLUCKY PREACnER.-Rev. N. G. Storrs,
Methodist preacher, had an appointment to
preach in country town in Iowa, which was
famous for rough population, which decided
that he should not preach there, and so notifi-
ed him; but he was not scared, and, when he
heard of the threats to prevent his preaching,
took steps to prevent the preventive. At the
appointed Sabbath the roughs appeared with
rope for the purpose of stretching the thoracic
duct of Storrs. That gentleman also appeared,
ascended the pulpit, and drew from his pocket
Bible and a six-shooter. Laying the Bible
on one side of the table, he quietly remarked
s'There's the Gospel for those who want il, -
and, laying the revolver on the other side,
"there's cold lead for those who deserve it"
There was no more trouble at that meeting af-
tor that.

A SEVERE SCORING OF RADICAL OFF,
CIAIs-In one of Don Piatts recent letters
from Washington, he thus addresses himself to
the infamous psalm-singing Radical officials:
And, looking over the officials here, if you
want to pick out the most unscrupulOus, greedy
knaves, take those who profess the most relig-
ion This is so generally recognized, that
man runs some risk in being more than respect
ably pious Gen. Howard who is really
good man, suffers in this way man may
attend the Episcopal Church, that being the
mildest form of civilized religion, and escape
suspicion; but even this has risk Those regar-
ded as the more reliable and honest are the
men who make no profession whatever. This
cloak of religion has been more especially used
to cover the rascality of the Indian Bureau,
and the land jobbers. There is ring of loud
mOuthed professors of extra piety here, tina
has stolen more, and has more to show for it's
stealings, than any other ring in Washington.
Its members are prominent in all piOus and
charitable moves They preside over meetings
of citizens looking to benevolent work, and
make tremendous speeches in behalf of mis-
sionary enterprises. Tne Internal scOundrels,
they roll to church in carriages built of steal
ings, and gded and vanished with public in-
iquity, drawn by stolen horses, and they walk
in clothes woven of public plunder, and hold
under their hypocritical noses yelvet-bound,
git-edged, hot-pressed prayer books, that rep
resent so much money filched from the U. S.
Treasury And when they kneel it is to get
closer to Satan, to hear his whispered schemes
of further rascaity. They make me cling
closer to the precious belief in hell hereafter,
and what Burns called 'tidings o. damnation."
They are prosperous here, but if fail to see
them hereafter crawling around to the cool
side of the big Goals, and crying aloud to the
Christian statesman for little of his ice wa
ter, shall be greatly disappointed, and con-
slider our plan of salvation o greater failure
than Fisk and GOulds run on Wall street.

THE DIFFERENCE.

1t was the boast of Napoleon Bonaparte that
as Emperor of France he "made one equal law
for all the land" The "Code Napoleon" as it
is still called, constitutes the French system of
Jurisprudence, and has even been adopted as
civil code of law in America; the civil code of
the State of Louisiana being the essential fea.
lures of the Code Napoleon. This was achieved
by an Emperor, under form of government
absolutely monarchical and despotic.
In the free Republic of the United States of
America, on the contrary, under the control
and management of the Republican party, we
have just precisely the contrary condition of
affairs. Instead of zone equal law for all the
land" we have military despotisms in some
sections, citizens disfranchised in other Sec
tions, the rich protected and untaxed all over
the country, and the poorer and the middle
classes oppressed with an increasing burden OF
taxation on nearly everything they eat, drink,
wear and consume, avowedly for the purpose
of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The poor man nowhere, in the eye of Radical
aristocrats and shoddyites, has any rights they
are bound to respect. The manned soldier and
the widow and the orphan of those slain upon
the battlefield in their cOuntry's cause are
compelled to pay taxes for the privilege of liv-
ing in free America, while the bondholder, who
has unblushingly swindled the Government to
greater or less extent, is exempted from tax
alton on his wealth, and feted and honored and
toadied to on account of his wealth Under
Democratic rule the burdens of government
were justly and equitably divided and borne by
all. Until the Republican party, in an evil
hour for the people, the country, and the cause
of human right and freedom, obtained the ad-
ministration of affairs in our national govern
ment, we, too, had lone equal law for all the
land" When the people shall have patiently
submitted to every species of wrong, oppres-
sion, exaction aud extortion. long enough, and
these mercenary, corrupt and fanatica leaders
of the Radical party shall be notified to give
place to the pure, the honest, the patriotic and
Democratic political element in our national
halls of government, we shall again have - enc
equal law for all the land" Then, and not till
then, will this country, at home and abroad.
occupy the true, high, and prosperous position
and condition which of right is hers.

INCOME TAX.

We take the following from the Oregon Her
aid of February 18TH The decision is one of
interest to everybody who pays the income tax
The case was tried in Philadelphia: "a ss..s
The case of George Doll, of the firm of Geo.
Doll q Co., importers of fancy goods, on a
writ of hdbe0s corpus, to be discharged from
arrest because of a refusal to deliver his books
to the T.. S. Assessor, was heard yesterday.
Mr.. Sharpless, for the defendant, made the fol-
lowing points, which are of interest to every
merchant:
First-That the 10th section of the act of
June Both, 1864, under which the income tax
is levied, is unconstitutional and void, as un.
dertaking to levy capitation, or ut all events
direct tax, by The rule Of uniformity, and not
that of apportionment.
SecOnd-That so much of the fourteenth
section of the same act as invests the Assessor
with power to compel citizen, who has once
made his return of income under oath, to pro-
duce his books and give evidence in regard to
the same after its correctness has been chal-
lenged by the officer, is unconstitutional and
void. as infringing upon the provision OF article
fifth, amendments of 1889, Constitution OF the
United States: "Nor shall any person
be compelled in any criminal case to be wit
ness against himself"
Third-That the power sought to be con-
ferred upon the Assessor by the last section Is
really the Judicial power of the United
States" which, by the Constitution, can only
be exercised by Judges holding their Offices for
terms of good behavior, and not by officers who
are removable at any moment, probably at the
discretion of the President, certainly at that
of the President and Senate.
Fourth-That the proceedings authorized by
the same section are an Infringement of the
citizens constitutional right of trial by jury
in every criminal case. The Federal Legisla-
ture cannot create new criminal offence un-
known to the common law or our statute law
at the time of the adoption Of the Constitution,
and which was not then punishable by ''attach-
ment as for contempt" and provide for its
ascertainment now by any other than the Or
dinary machinery of trial by jury at common
law.
Fifth-The extraordinary remedies provided
by the same section are not to be used in reas-
sessing income duties; if there is occasion to
reassess them, it is to be done under the l1oth
section of the same act, which contains no pro-
vision for an attachment as for contempt"
Sixth-If the FIVE preceding points are de-
cided against us, the proceedings here are SO
radically defective and hopelessly incurable
that the relator must be discharged
At the close of the argument, Judge Cadwal-
ader, without hesitation, discharged Mr. Doll.

of Butler. What care such men for attacks of
