January 1sV 1885.w " . . !"., f ; Replying to an ; absurd remark of Representative Hiscock that there f'was no more onerous tax on the poor man. than the tax on tobacco." Mr;. 'Kimball, chief of . the Internal Revenue Department, says: "TLe total collections, including special taxes from, tobacco during the last fiscal year, were a little over- $26,000,000, while the import duties collected on sugar and molasses during the same period aggrega ted nearly $49,000,000. Now, bugar- and molasses are articles of necessity,- used ' by 55,000,000 of people; - Tobacco, snuff and cigars are classed, and properly so, as arti cles of luxury. The consumption of these articles in the country is by no means gen eral. One half the entire population, com prising the females, are, with comparatively few exceptions, non-consumers of tobacco in any form. Of the other-half two-fifths at, least are minora under fifteen Years of aee. and'they are also claitt a properiy-ed I as- non-consumers 01 looacco. uie re maining three-ienths of the population only about one-half can be claimed to be consu mers of tobacco. In other words," the number , of tobacco users in the United States is not supposed to exceed 8,000,000." The heavy reduction made in the tax ' on tobacco has benefitted the chewers and smokers but little if any. Gen. Robert Edward Lee was born January 19th, 1807.- If he bad lived until last Monday he would have been but 78 years of age. Tie has been dead more than fourteen years. We believe that of all men born in Ameri ca, he was the greatest soldier. Such is the judgment of Europe, and such will be the judgment of history, we have no doubt. -Tested by what he did and the circumstances under which he did it, he is the greatest of our military men.' His character was as lovely and grand as his achieve ments were splendid and solid. We revere himas much as we do Wash ington and love his memory more. The Savannah News notes th e fol lowing startling, information and the irson referred to is, we suppose, Mr. George Chadbourn: "The' Republican papers are asserting on the alleged testimony of W. C. Cram, of Tampa, Fla., that George Chadwell, of Wilmington, N. C, has in his possession a book of correspondence printed during the war on Confederate paper, which contains letters sustaining Gen. Sherman's charge against ex President Davis. , The Philadel phia Press says Chadwell is a wealthy and highly respectable lumber dealer, who has been in business in Wilmington since 1852. -The War Department . sheoid send bri gade after tbe letters without delay.

Mr. Samuel .Watkins. chairman of the Presbyterian Church Building Committee,, reported that the debt on the church nad been reduced to between $1,100 and $1,200; and that he had cancelled the -debt himself."

He was told by the attorney that he was at liberty to make a statement, put he warned him, as he had done In the outset, not' to say anything to criminate himself. Allen then jumped up and commenced a tirade, the purport of which seemed to be to try to implicate, some white man in the crime and to censure all concerned for what he claimed to be discrimination in the mat ter. His language was of course a most flagrant contempt of court, but, as the Dis trict Attorney remarked, it was one that could not be directly punished, under the circumstances, as the defendant was going to jail anyway. The witnesses, withthe exception of the son orthe woman implicated, were then re cognized 'and the prisoner was remanded to jail.

The Board met in regular session Mon day evening; present, R. J. Jones, Esq., Chairman and Messrs. O. A. Wiggins and W. R. Kenan. The "Board passed upon several bills, after which sundry communications from the Board of Aldermen were acted upon as follows: 1 ; .!: - . . ' Resolution to allow .Dr. Potter, county phvBician to the poor, $45 for medicines claimed by him to have been furnished the poor of the city, was disapproved :oa the ground that the city was not legally in charge of the poor. . ; Resolution that the disposition of the horses of the Little Giant Company be re ferred to the committee on Fire Depart ment, with power to act; approved, pro vided that the action of the committee does not entail any expense on the city. Resolution that ahorse be provided for the Hebk & Ladder Company, was disal lowed on the ground that the average of the appropriation for the current fiscal year for the Fire Department is overdrawn. Also' the collections for the nine months ending December 31st, of the present fiscal year, are neatly $9,000 short of the correspond ing period of last fiscal year. The Board, however, recognize the necessity of the company having another horse,. and think it should be provided for in the budget, for the ensuing fiscal year, to be madeln March In the matter relating to the fixing of Jacob's spring and the sewer leading there from, the Board declined to act nntil the cost nf the work shall have first been ascer tained; but will approve of an expenditure not to exceed $1.00 towards procuring the desired information. In the tax matter of J. W. Collins, Secretary and Treasurer of the Mechanics Building and Loan. Association, where it appears that two .parties had listed the same piece of property, one- having paid the tax in full and the other $21 on ac Count, for the year 1872, it was ordered that said Loan Association be allowed $21 to offset any one year - that' the. tax 'had not been paid on the property. : Coupons) amounting to $2,664, which had. been redeemed and " cancelled, were burned in the presence of the Board.

Carl SchurtfWas bora rt sTibhtr, nearCologne, oh the 2d of March, 1829, and came to the United, States in 1852. He served ih the Federal army and was made a Major uen- eral; and after this served six years as U. 8. Senator from Missouri. ? He was Secretary of the Interior under HayWadministratioh but in the last campaign was an earnest ad vocate for the. election of Cleveland, and aided'him no little by his advocacy. ' t Mr. Schura delivered his lecture, "The' Problems of Education," at the Opera House, under the auspices: of the Wilming-i ton Library Association, and was Intro- - duced most appropriately by CoL A. M, WaddelL He showed in , language plain. andjsmple that the way to educate was not toi burden the child5 with numberless useless Studies, but to teach it sorn&g practical, , whiem? would be , of use: lp arter-Hrer The greatest part of the lecture was devoted to the subject of educating our girls to become useful women and good mothers, and he demonstrated most forci bly the great good that would come from this. If girls are brought up simply with the idea that they must do nothing but look pretty and strive to be leaders of. fashion, then it would be far better for them when children to inhale the deadly miasma of the East, which blights only the body, than to be reared under such influences which will . blight mind, body and soul, and cause them to be a curse ratner than a blessing. The strongest tie on earth is the one that binds the child to its mother, and the only way to ' keep this tie inviolate is to educate "our girls to be praotical.and teach them that their duty to God and themselves is not to bedeck 'them selves with jewels and silks.and think only of the latest style, but to learn to make home attractive, and to .themselves for the sphere in which God has. placed them. The lecture last night' was' full of infor mation, and Mr. Schurz, though deficient in oratory, is a man of undoubted ability. His language was chaste and powerful, and every word that was 'littered was fully weighed aad evinced deep research and vast .infprmatidn. His points, were as clear, and as 'logical as a mathematicardemonstration; and carried conviction to' hia hearers. Dangerous Practice. We are not prepared to Bay that it is a common occurrence, but we understand that on last Sunday there was an exhibi tion of recklessness in the use of fire-arms in the neighborhood of the mill at Green field Pond, just beyond the southern sub urbs of the city, that was extremely dan gerous. A gentleman who was walking out in that vicinity was at one time seri ously alarmed for his safety. He counted Iwenty-flve shots in rapid succession, and some of the balls whistled uncomfortably near his head, reminding him of war times, when the "Minnies" were flying around loose. Feeling himself hv imminent danger of being shot down in his tracks, he shout ed at the unknown marksmen to stop shooting, but they continued firing at in tervals. This locality is a regular thoroughfare' especially on Sundays, when men, women and children in considerable numbers in dulge in. strolls in that direction. This promiscuous shooting is extremely danger ous, therefore, as we stated, and if there is any law or authority to prevent it, the same should be enforced. A Walking maten. A ripple of excitement was started era the wharf yesterday afternoon 'by the carrying out of an agrjeementlbetween Capt M. H. Rich, of the Schr. - J, ; P. Anger; and , Mr. W. N. Harries, to engage in a, walking match. The proposition was to walk three times around the block bounded by Princess, Front, Chesnut and North Water, the distance being about three-quarters df a mile.' The start was . made from. a tele graph pole near the corner of North Water ' and Princess, and the understanding was that the one who got beaten in the match should set up cigars for the ' crowd. Both the contestants showed pluck and endur- rance, as well as skill in pedestrianism, but Mr. Harriss came out: the winner and ap parently almost as fresh as at the start, while Capt. Rich appeared to be "rather poorly." , ; .- : - 1 ; THE OTAIiSW' v The mails olose and arrive at tha City Post Offloe as follows: ": s CLOSB. Northern through malls, fast.. ........ 70 P.
