tional so far as 1t relates to incomes from state, county, or municipal bonds, And it rules that the fact that the law is pronounced unconstitutional in these two particulars does not invalidate the law as whole.
 This decision will not make the law any more popular than it has been, al- though 1t will give some persons some relief. A law, parts of which are de- clared unconstitutional, and the rest of which only stands by tie vote, is not calculated to command much respect, even if it were not otherwise odious, inqusitorial, tyrannical, etc., etc. No body will know what to do for awhile until the Internal Revenue department gets itself untangled. In regard to the taxes already paid it is probable that the present laws governing refunds in cases of excess of internal-tax pay ments generally will apply to the per sons who have paid too large an in- ccrne tax in good faith under lnisap- prehension alike on their part and on the part of the collectors. But there will be new complications by reason of the decision. For instance, it is al- ready pointed out that since the court has decided to except income from real estate, the question at once arises whether the exception. already in the law in favor of repairs and taxes stands on an independent basis, or is simply merged in the other exception If man receives an income of appointments and only $5,OO0 from other sources, and if he spends $2,000 in repairs and taxes, his net income recognized by the law as 1t now stands would be only $3,000 and he would be exempt entirely, if the exception in the statute stood independ- ent of the other. If the two exceptions that in the statute and that in the| courts decision-were merged, his net income would be five thousand dollars. and he would still have to pay a tax on the surplus thousand.

AFrench Contrast.

M Georges Duruy, son of the histor- ian whose loss is so much regretted, is the author of the leading article in this mornings Figaro entitled "Les Deux France" This article draws striking contrast between the two events of yes terday-the burial of Marshal Canro- bert and the arrival of M. Rochefort. The comparison, indeed, is full of mel ancholy suggestion; but the article of M. Georges Duruy very brilliantly and accurately sums up the state of things here, and cannot do better than quote its chief points. M. Duruy contrasts the France which followed the coffin of Marshal Canrobert with the France which surrounded the cab of M. Roche fort; and he ends with a There are two Frances-take your choicew Un- fortunately in matters of this sort there is no choice; people take what comes. All the audacity is on the side of the France which acclaimed M. Rochefort and which has everything to gain;while all the cowardice is on the side of the France which followed Marshal Canro- bert.
 M. Duruy, returning from the splen- did spectacle of tLe funeral of Marshal Canrobert, sits down and writes as fol- lows: "So, then, our marshal has quit his dwelling whither he will return no

As the result of their deliberations at Philae in regard to the measures to be taken for the protection of the temples from injury by the construction of the new Nile reservoir, MT. w. D. Garstin, under-secretary of state for public works, and the archaeologists with whom he has been in consultation are unanimously of opinion that nothing can be finally settled on the point until the mass debris and the mud-brick creations which cover large portion of the island are removed and the un- deriving masonry is laid bare. This masonry will have to be subjected to a scientific examination in order that d solution of the many vexed questions concerning the age of the Philae tenn pies, etc, may be arrived at.

His appearance on another stage damaged the Comedie Francaise, and he must pay it 800 francs for every performance; if he acted more than thirty times in all, however, the court would open his case again. Co., quelin was receiving 750 francs a night from Sarah Bernhardt at the time. The substance of the judgment is that if he continues acting he will be in con tempt of the court and also liable for damages to the Comedie Franchise. Qn Sarah Bernhardt's case the damages wer fixed at 100000 francs) The thea atre, however, can touch neither his share as a societaire nor his retiring pension. Coquelin has appealed the case.

Richmond, April 3, 1seB.

Thirty years ago to-day (April 9th, 1S65) occurred the grand crowning event of the rebellion, in the surrender | of General Lee to General Grant at Ap- pomattox Court House. Thirty years ago the 3d inst. noted the fall of Rich mond and Petersburg, the writer, through kind Providence, being per- mitted to enter the quandam rebel capital with General Weitzers com mand. In commemoration of the latter event the following lines were written several years ago, and are now, at this thirtieth anniversary period, given publicity for the first time: O fated city of the South, behold The harvest from the seed by Folly
 sown! The cup which thou to other lips
 wouldst hold
 Fair Justice wills thine own. Puffed up with arrogance and lordly
 pride,
 And nursing still the old-time sec
 tional feud, The gulf of thy estrangement opened
 wide,
 And conflict dire ensued. Forth from thy gates. with martial ar
 dor fired,
 Thy legions poured in Treason's
 shameful cause, Bearing aloft, by faith and hope in-
 spired,
 The o1famme of Mars. And thus for long, agonizing years The shades of War and Death have
 gloomed the land; While torrents of fraternal blood and
 tears
 Have flowed on every hand. o woeful day that registered thy VOW Allegiance to the Union to disclaim The folly of thy course thou seest now In ruin, smoke and flame. And in the desolation war has wrought O'er thy fair fields that blossomed as
 the rose, Where kindred, once united, long have
 fought
 As bitterest of foes. Long and most fiercely, and for ends
 diverse
 As light and darkness, or as heaven
 and hell; While on the evil cause God set His
 curse
 And Errors fabric fell A cemetery vast is thy domain, O sunny South! here myriad dead re-
 pose, Victims of fell disease and battle-slain, The countless mounds enclose. But good from this, our trial, shall
 arise; No more shall civil discord shake our
 land No North, no South be known, but both comprise One Union, strong and grandl No more of malice! we are brothers yeti Hate shall be banished, Love shall | rule Instead! The future is for nobler deeds, so "let The dead past bury it's dead" Peace, gentle Peace, the wounds of | war will heal,
 And all it's woeful vestiges effacei While hands that grasped antagonistic steel
 Shall clasp in warm embrace; And our dear land shall rise from Tor rams night
 And hail with joy the bright, auspi- cious day. as the ages take their flight, Fair Freedoms home for aye.

THE 1NooME TAX DEo1sroN.

It appears that somebody did really let the decision of the Supreme court concerning the income tax prematurely leak out. The decision was formally given out yesterday and it agrees with what leaked out the other day.

The court therefore is Of opinion that tax on rents or landed investments is direct tax and unconstitutional. The court decides that the tax was unconstitu-

It goes without saying that a record extend ing over a period of several years, and comparing death from consumption with the temperature, the wind, the percentage of moisture in the atmos- phere, and the hourly alterations of heat and cold, might lead to improve ments in the manner of treating the disease; and that a similar record par alleling the severity of rheumatism with the same meteorological condi- tions might enable doctors to form a shrewd guess at the real cause of the abominable malady. Medical inquiry is now directed to the baoillary origin of the disease; excellent results have already been attained, and still better may be expected in the future. But the investigation of the microbe need not preclude an equally promising field of inquiry, namely, the influence of the air in which we live on the human organs. San Francisco Argonaut.
