Our attcntioa has been called to the fact that the present is the time to make up incomes for the year 1869. A cor rect return is much mora .easily made immediately after the close of the year, generally, than if made up at a later pe riod Particularly is this the case with persons who keep no regular book accounts.- For the benefit of all concerned we give Bection 118 of the Internal Rev enue Law, which provides as follows : Section IIS. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of all persons of la ful age to make and render a list or return, on or before the day prescribed by law, in each form and manner as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of In ternal Revenue, to the assistant assessor of the district in vhich they reside, of the amount of their Income, gains, and profits, as aforesaid ; and all guardians and trustees, executors and admin istrators, or any person acting in any fiduciary capacity, shall luhke and render a list , or return as aforesaid, to the assistant assessor of the dis trict in which such person acting in a fiduciary capacity , dies, of the amount of income, cams, and profits of any minor or person for whom they ana toe assistant assessor shall require every list or return to be verified by the oath or affirma tion pf the person rendering it, and may increase me amount ot any nst or re torn, if be has reason to believe that tha same is understated ; and in case any such person shall neglect or refuse to make and render such list or return, or shall ren der a false or fraudulent Rss-or return, it shall be the Uuty of the assessor or the assistant assessor ta make such list, according to the beat informa tion he can obtain, by the examination of such per.'dn, or his books or accounts, or any other ev idence, and to 'add fifty per eentum as a penalty to the amount of tax due on such list in all cases of wilful neglect or refusal to make and render a list jtr return, and, in all cases ot a false or fraud ulent list or return having been rendered, to add one ' hundred per centum, as a penalty, to the amount of tax ascertained to be due, the tax and the additions thereto as a penalty to be assessed and eolleeteif in the manner provided for in other cases of wilful neglect or refusal to tender a list r return, or of rendering a false or fraudulent re turn. The following instructions have lately been re ceived from the Commissioner, vix : The Commissioner wishes to call your especial attention to the s abject of income returns, and re spectfully to remind you that it is your duty to reject ail returns of income that do not show, item by item, the various sources from whence the in come is derived ; and where losses are claimed, a full and definite statement of the same ; and in such and all other eases to proceed strictly in ac cordance with the law.

Since the death of the late Secretary of War, most of the Copperhead orjrans published in Oregon have used the lowest, most debas ing and cowardly language, and given utterance to malicious and wilfully false charges concerning hitn. This was to be expected, however, and merely in keep ing with the past history of the Copper head press of Oregon. This abuse of the dead seems to be a peculiar feature of the Copperhead jour nalists on this coast, to be found no where else. In a speech at a meeting in New York city, the day after Stanton's death, William Cullen Bryant, one ot America's great poets, a hlelong Democrat, said ol Stanton : "He was tho greatest War Minister of modern times; a man of stern and incor ruptible integrity ; the unsullied citizen through whose hands passed more mil lions than ever passed through those of anv other niau : who enteied his high- office not rich and left it poor; the stern and sterling man who was sincerely averse to holding public office, however high, who saenhced his health, his prop erty, his lile to it, when the salvation of his country was at stake ; Stanton whom it is feeble to call a Roman, but whom we honor with joy in our sadness as a no ble American. The New York Herald, after quoting President Grant's brief announcement of Stanton's death, his distinguished ser vices in the councils of the nation as At torney General and Secretary of--War, Diseased Pork. The Portland Ore gonian having received a piece of sup posed "diseased pork" from Dayton, handed the same to Dr. Watkins, ef that city, for his examination. Following is the Doctor's report : l Ed. Oregoniaic : I have examined the diseased pork supposed to contain the "trichina spiralis," you handed me, very carefully, and have found no "mchioa. The trichina are worms lying in and between the muscular fibres, and in a mature condition, are about one-eighteenth of an inch in length, with a round thread-like body and a small narrow head. This piece of pork is filled with small cysts, one of which I have dissected and send you, containing fluid, and a small white body, looking, at first, like a drop of fat, but which, on examination, proves to be organixed, having a well developed head, by which it attaches itself to the walls of the cyst, which is the entozoon, known as the Cystieercus Cellulose, which, if not quite so dangerous as the "trichina," is, as will be seen, not a good thing to kava ut Ibe family. The Cystieercus is simply ah intermediate stage f the "Tenia Solium" or tape worm, the history of which is exceedingly carious and interesting. The tape worn is hennaphrodyte, all the organs for reproduction existing in full perfection in each segment or ring of the tenia. When these repro ductive organs are matured, the ring is thrown off, passes from the alimentary canal, and the seg ment, being decomposed, sets free innumerable ova or eggs, which are borne in every direction by air or water. 1 bey may be eaten by some ani- ?al, as was the ease with our unfortunate pig. been ova, thus taken into the stomach, burst and there proceeds forth small embryos of very minute site and extreme tenuity. They pass through the tissues by a kind of boring process, pass into the blood vessels, where they are borne by the blood current to all portions of the body to the liver, ' messentary, or, as in the specimen before us, to the muscles. Here they become enclosed in little semi-transparent oval cysts. They are then known by scientific men as strobilia, and this is precisely what we have here, the Cystieercus Cel luloses. . ' Suppose some person to eat these strobilia in a piece of pork : Upon entering the stomach the cyst is digested by the gastric juice, the strobilia becomes attached to the mucous membrane and shortly front the strobilia, segments are developed, 'which form one after another till it becomes thirty or forty feet long, being a full grow "tape-worm" and attaining this great growth in three or four months. By and by, after throwing off many rings and innumerable eggs, old age or accident causes it to let go its hold, and its strange roman tic life, filled with so much change, comes to an end. Cysts every way similar are found in the brains . of eatde, giving rise to what is popularly known aa "blind staggers." These cysts are known as Cnarus Cerebral is." Sometimes they have made their appearance in the eye of man, de stroying the sight. These statements are no guess work, for the era of the tape worm have been given to calves, dogs, pigs, and to condemned criminals, and they invariably cause severe sickness and often death. The disease commonly known as measles in cattle and bogs is produced in this way ; but always, upon examining the dead bodies of animals and men who have eaten these eva, these cysts are found. But still more, these cysts ' have been given in the food to cattle, and to men condemned to death, and in every instance the cysts have been found to be developed, into tape worms. Cvst taken from the brain of cattle afflicted with staggers were given to a dog, and produced in due - time tape . worms. , xnen sections : 01 mesa tape worms, or the rings containing ova, were given to young calves, and in fifteen days the calves were aick with staggers ; and upon examining the brains - of these calves the cysts were found. Our pig had been feeding upon the segments of the tape worm thrown off by man or beast, ana uaa eaten ' of them by the thousand. : How should any per' . eon eat this pork, be would soon be afflicted with lm worm. Of course the practical application of these facts is plain an animal diseased as was this pig, should be burned, not thrown out to hogs or dogs, or even buried to rot, where it might be ' devoured at once. - Other practical thoughts will occur to every one. I cannot help, just here, one word of moralizing : How stupid it seems to nm practical people to see a learned man spend ing- time, talents, education, and this for long ears, to learn the habits, history, etc., of these worms, but which when fully understood will ex .Un but of tkt cause of disease in man and Ut nd noint oat the way of safety. X regret that I could not avoid these hard long . Xu in this note, but I assure yon there are a - amat many with which I nave no troubled your j traders -. "! TlNHEHSBK ' CoKSTKUTJOjrAr.; CoN vnwnov.

"Unceasing in his labors." Yes, he worked night and day lor months and for years, we may say, without relaxation, and bis plan in every thing he had to do was "short sharp and decisive." "Fearless in the assumption of responsibilities." Thi3 was the distinguishing point of his char acter. Ihe war with him was a Strug! for life and death. He was working in a house on fire, and intent only upon putting it out, he had no time for cere monies, or for apologies, or explanations to people coming in his way. He cleared them out or shut them up, for he was terribly in earnest. "Respected byall good men." The President means in this, no doubt, all men un warped by sectional or party dislikes or personal grievances. "Feared by wrong doers." Yes, and cordially hated by them, too. If it were not that General Grant is a man who rises above all merely personal considerations in judging of men in their public capacity, he could hardly have written the following unqualified endorse ment of the public services of Stanton ; for Stanton was no respecter of generals when falling backward, or when their ar mies, to him, appeared to be doing nothing- . Telegraphic Summary. - News has been received from the Mis sissippi Legislature that they have elected lieveals, a colored man and present otate Senator, U. S.

The Tribune's Washington special thinks a majority of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela tions are opposed to ratifying the San Domingo treaty, as the general question of territorial acquisition was discussed in the Committee in a manner not iavoraDie to the treaty, and the details' of the doc ument were inquired into with some per sistence. Commissioner Delano estimates that all expenses attending the collection of In ternal lievenue tor tne current year win amout to S15.000.000. The House Committee are again dis- cussiug the question of an air line route railroad from Washington to New York, and will probably report in favor of such a road, when the Baltimore and Ohio Company will manage to strangle the project, as usual. New York, Jan. 20. The Stock Ex change is dissatisfied with the Committee appointed to select a street and location lor a building, and yesterday ousted the procrastinors and elected a new and live committee, with John W. Denny as Chair man. Up town has now received a fresh impetus A new party was organized last night in this city, under the name of the "New Democracy.!' The foundeissay this is a big party on fundamental principles equalized with reference to the people ot all classes, lhey propose to have chan es made in the platform for the vote of women. The new Democrats ravor the absorbing of all railroads and telegraphs by the Government, and employment given to everybody who wants work, by the national or local authorities, The President of the Union Ferry Company replies to the Mayor that the Company is now losing money by convey ing passengers, and that one cent reduc tion cannot be sustained. The Cuban Junta last night received information concernios the report that the Spanish General, liaez, was defeated New Democracy. A telegram from New York city, dated January 20th, informs the world that on the evening of the 19th, in that city, a new organiza tion was successfully completed, and named the " .New Democracy." The platform adopted by this party, by which it proposes to catch votes and foist itself into power, among other things, advo cates extending the right of suffrage to women ; favors the absorbing of all rail roads and telegraphs by the government, and proposes to give everybody work who wants it, either at the hands of the national or local governments. The founders of the new party claim that it is a " big thing," " founded on funda mental principles, equalized with refer ence to the people of all classes." This announcement will startle the old fossils their cherished and oft repeated declaration that the Democratic party has always adhered to one and the. same name, is negatived, destroyed iorever. No more can they fall back upon this pleasing assumption, for current history is asrainst them. Poor, divided Dcmoc- racy, how hast thou taiien i j.nen mis new party the " New Democracy " is organized, gets its start, in the very hot bed, stronghold of Democracy, New York a city that has hitherto given its forty, its fifty, its seventy thousand ma jority for the " time-honored principles." This party, this aged party, that has held to but one set of principles (?) and has always been known by one and the same name (?) hoary with age, and dishonesty and crime, and treason, shorn of all its former grandeur, stripped of every ves tige or remnant of the principles that once were wont to give it strength and win the love and veneration of 'the peo ple, like an old and rotten vessel, is to be thrown aside, and the "New Democracy", assume its place. The central plank of the vessel removed, the fierce waters of dissension will soon envelop the poor, weak old hulk, and it will sink deep, deep down - into the waters of oblivion, unhonored and unsung.
