SENITOB V15CE 0 THE NEK 1S OF THE JUTION. The third of the srie.s of articles being written by Senator Vance on the "Needs of the Nation," lias appeared in the lijltimore 8iid. Like the preceding oues it is clear, strong and to the point. We copy a paragraph which shows how the tariff operates nnjastly to the poor. These articles ought to be published in pamphlet form as a campaign document : The chief inequality of a tariff arises from the fact that 1: is a tai ' upon consumption. Whilst it is true that men do not consnme alike and equally, tbe deficiency in tbeircon-' snmotion is not nearly so great as the difference in their wealth. If there was a certain and well estab- lished ratio between wealth and consumptiou so that the irreater 1 the one jast io much greater would be tbe other, then consumption woald be as fair a measure for the imposition of taxes as any other and as convenient. Iut there is no sach invariable proportion; not only so, but very frequently the po sition is in verted, and the' man of least wealth pays largely tbe most taxes. Duties upon food and cloth ing will illustrate this. A common day laborer will eat and drink as j mach aad wear as much clothing as a millionaire. The only difference ia that the millionaire consumes costlier food and raiment, and therein navs more tax : but the just proportion of the amount which escb SuOQlu pay is vj no means oi-i tucio 10 j u-icui- eui.i.. iul aerred.

In shart, it is physically impossible to attain to abstract just ice and equality in taxation by a duty on consumption. In our present la's it has uot even been attempted, though the talk of d:ser:m;nating agaiDSt laxuries is in every inan-.-mouth whenever the suMee: ; mentioned. They are framed with special reference neither to the wants of the government nor r.eed of tbe people, bu: to the interest of the manufacturers alone. In reali ty, the bulk of whatever discrimi nation there may Ive in the law is ivjninft the necessaries of lile and in favor of laxuries.

A prominent citizen of this place t said to me today : ( engross seem to De iw.gnora.u amnuaiiicren to the necessities oi our coast as tiu-y were in the relation t" thegrt-.it strike when niterx lewi-d b tht-j Herald." ' i They evidently have nut not read the many accounts of shipwrecks and disasters in the Herald since the 18th of last August. They do not semi to knn'.v that tbe signal service has deserted this coa.st from Hatteras to Wilmmg ton, lTo miles. The telegraph line was advertised to be sold May and has gone out of existence. One of the oldest and most prominent captains who sails out of t his harbor said to me ; "If then- is any place iu the world that ought to have a telegraph line and a life saving station that place is Ocracoke In let." Vet there is no s'ation hi -it-There is ouly oi. e mail : w;ce a week, and some weeks none, and it takes ten to twenty days to get an answer from the nearest port. They cannot realize the fact that this is a bad coast for seamen : that vessels are stranded and wrecked in sight of our thwrs and we po-.v, r less 10 help them. If there is so much mnm-v in the Treasury why don verv small portio t hev ;n e.-t a nf V Mr th beuetit of poor sailors, an navigation by dredging n: few hundred feet of swa ! as.-ist ; miiv a .1,?

Ha complained ot. he d:d tr :eii was to keep up tne telegrapli rue on this coast and ordered cautionary signals dis played. But the appropriation was cut oil". It seems to n.e he was worried to death ami the line did not long survive him. Ocracoke Inlet is the be-: o:; the coast. It has the mo.- water, it I.- the easiest to work. :n, ami, eetber, the best haibor. It as much preferable to Ilattcras as a shad is to a common toad lish. All the captains and owner oi vessels sailing in these waters, ami every man on these banks, wants the Herald to intercede for us, as it seems to be theonlv medium the poor man has. loos sums ot money yearly, aud if she is of any iractical benelit whatever we fail to see it. She has not been in siht of this inlet since last duly, but makes her headquarters in a sate harbor thirty live miles up the liver The port o! entry ouht to be hen-. I here would be just as much sense :n having the port ol New Yoi! l n g here : :i urs 11 1 Albany as there is in hav seventy-tivo miles Irom a liver. Recently the Deputy Collector of C'us this place was cut off or oliice ol , toms at .discontinued, at salary to the gov ! eminent of about thirty dollars per month. That is the way it goes! It is rough on vessels in distress, hard on poor sailors, but fun for the smugglers. ,1 . K. M. We clip the above from the New York Herald and publish it for the purpose of draw ;ng attent ion to the siaie of .iilairs represented. Why the government should be .iicf.iied tn curtail expenses to so small an amount and entail so heavy a risk on the lives and property rl the sealairmg men is hard tii comprehend.

I -1 1 r as to the other points ot the ei.rrespondence v e heartily agree in the opin: place in the n : hat i f t here is a world t hat needs a telegraph hue and a full service of the life saving force, that place is the c .-st of North ('arolina. The trallie in our sounds which are really inland sras and rivers is largely on the luciease anil the number t. sailing craft and steam ers was never greater than now. Tln re never was more activity in the fishing interest on our coast than now. Then why should the government desert it? We think only becaiisf of a lack of a correct understanding of the state of the case by the oflicials at Waslnugtou. Wo hope that Representatives Latham and Simmons will take an interest in the matter, and we have no doubt they wilh and urge upon the government t he necessities of the now neglected coast ol North l 'arol inn .

Miss Mary Hewitt closed her school at Hadnots last week. 1 1 i examination was good. Speeches, dialogues, readings, spellings, etc., by the children showed good train ing by Miss Hewitt.

Oueer. The person of wide experience and culture is likely to bo distin guished by a broad toleration of those whose manner of life may be different from his own. Personalities are the ruin of the best conversation, but many people are dnvtii to indulgence in them by their conviction that people who do or say anything out of the com mon course are so very odd. . "Everybody is queer, but thee and me," said an old ''Friend'' to his wife, ''and sometimes I think thee is a little queeil" 'T don't believe in raiding and that sort of thing,'' said a lady who was talking over tbe prospects of a certain church fair, with some ac qaintauces. "And yet she added, laughing, "1 did indulge in matri mony, ami that they say is a lot tery. When her visitors had taken their leave, one looked meaningly at the other, and said: "How very queer of her to quote that! What does she mean by saying marriage is a lottery! Is she unhappy!" "It was odd," her friend conceded, and they wore that poor little chance remark of an idle moment quite threadbare by discussion. A very tolerant public man, who is a joy to his friends and a comfort to mere acquantancea, says that he never feels called upon to judge his fellowmen, since their minor od dities are not of the least impor tance, and if they commit some heinous crime there aie always plenty of people ready to sit in judgment on them.

According to the last returns the whole number of white and colored children between the ages of b and L'l years was .Va;,270. The white children, during the last 1 years, increased from -"iL'l.obl to .'55.5, -131 : total in four years 31,020 or 0.92 per cent. During the same time the colored children increased from l'.2,Sl.". to L'12,7-s0 : total IS. Old or 0.77 per cent. Thus it will be seen that the rate of increase is very ! nearly the same lor both races, the whites bavins increased only .15 ! per cent, taster or lo in 10,000. Last year there were enrolled in j the white schools ..7.2 per Ceilt OT 02,1;! I out of 3.":5,1S1 children ; in the colored schools .".s per cent or 12.U4.,outof 212,,S'.i. The average daily attendance in white SChOOlS was ,').". 2 per cent, and in the col ored schools ;; ).o per cent. Looking back over four years the figures show that there is a small increase in both the enrollment and average attendance of the whites and a small decrease of the colored, I state this because it is sometimes said that the colored people attend the public schools better than the whites. This may be true for some communities, but it is not so for the State according to the returns made to my office. Pesides, the whites have a much larger proportional attendance iu private schools than the negroes have. Because there are enrolled in our public schools ouly 57 or 56 chil dren out of every 100 there is an opinion among many people that me remaining or who not ai - tend at ail. Tbis is not the fact. Our school age is from 0 to 21 years, a period of 1" years. During any one session a large number ot small children within school age will not do euroi.eu wno ai some subsequent 8a irom luto.i. urop out or mti public schools to engage in work or pass into the private schools and colleges and are not enrolled in the public schools. The fact is that during the short time our schools are in session we have enrolled in them a larger per cent of population than Massa chusetts, (.'ouuecticut or "ewYork. We have enrolled L'O.O.J per cent of the whole population including men, women and children, of all ages, or one person iu live, while Massachusetts lias only IS per cent, Connecticut IS. 71 per cent and 2s'ew York 1 'J . 2 S per cent. These figures are taken from the last re port of the Commissioner of Educa tion aud are based ou the United States census of 1SS0 and the latest school census of the States compared. And further, our daily average attendance in proportion to the whole population is better than in New York or Connecticut. I am free to say that quite a large number of our children do not avail themselves of the facilities they have, but the greatest differ ence betweeu the educational status of our State and those I have named above, and other Northern States, consists in the length of an nual school terms. North Carolina has GO days per annum. Just abput the same for both races.! Massa chusetts 1 7i Connecticut 179 and New York 17. With nearly the same rate of enrollment and aver age attendance and, say, three times as long terms, tho nublic educational forced iu these three States are three times as great as are those of our State, granting that our teachers are as well pre pared for their work. We are in deed far behind in the educational race, but still our public schools are improving in efficiency and at tendance, and our many private schools are giving valuable help both in the instruction of children who are not included in the public school enrollment, and in providing higher education to those young persons who have passed beyond the public school course. Iu estimating our educational facilities I have taken the average ior me acate. w e must nou lose sight of the fact that, while the average school term is DO days or ; months, some counties have only about 2 mouths, and others have 1 months or more. This results from several causes. 1 A difference in valuation of proneity m the dillerent counties. 2 Closer collections of s rOinnl funds by officers of some counties than of others. 3 Keceipts from license of retail liquor dealers, which are large in some counties and email or nothing in others, -t Special ievies for schools by some county commissioners and none by others. S. M. Fixgee, iiupt. Tublic Instruction. A tfood Tlilnff to CultiTate. The art of not hearing should ,be learned by all. It is fully as impor tant to domestic happiness as a cultivated ear, for which so much money ami time are expended. There are so many things which it is painful to hear, many of which we ought not to hear, very many which, if heard, will disturb the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from contentment and happiness, that every one should be educated to take in or shut oat sounds according to his pleasure. li a man falls into a violent passion and calls us all manner of names, at tbe first word we should shut our ears and hear no more. If. in our quiet voyage of life, we liud our selves caught in one of those domestic whirlwinds of scold ing, we should shut our ears as a sailor would furl his sail, and mak ing all tight scud before the gale. If a hot aiwl restless man begins to inllame our feelings vre should consider what mischief4these fiery spaiks may do in our magazine below, where our temper is kept, and instantly close the door. If. as has been remarked, all the petty tilings said of one by heedless or ill natured idlers were to be brought home to him, be would become a mere walking pincushion, stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be happy, when among bad men. shut them. It is not worth while to hear what our neighbors sav about our children, what our rivals say about our business, our dress or cur affairs. The art of uot hearing, though untaught iug our schools, is by no means practiced in society. We have noticed that a well-bred wo-mai-i never hears a vulgar or imper tinent remaik. A kind of discreet deafness saves one from many in sults, from much blame, from not a little connivance iu disonorable conversation. Don't Whip the Children. It is said that the question of abolishing corporal punishment in the public schools is being strongly agitated in the cities and villages along the Hudson. It ought to be agitated from one end of the land to the other. The only proper person to chastise a child is a parent. The moral effect is lost altogether when the punishment is inflicted by a stranger, and in the administration thereof the hand does not fall with the same discretion as when the parent applies the corrective. A teacher cannot be expected, to study and understand the tempera men: of every pupil under his or , her control. As aconsequence he or she cannot determine whether the punishment that will restrain one child will not break the spirit of another. A sensitive, nervous j Kriv f'ppl tlio Hirrrafo nnfl rhA nain ot nhvsical chastisement far more . kecniv than the rngged, phlegmatic , youngster who takes it as a part of ; hja pnrricnlnm. find whilA in t.hanriA case it may have a salutary effect, in the other it renders the pupil sullen, and incites him to clandes tine mischief. By all means abolish corporal punishment m the public schools. No teacher should possess such power. If I Were a Girl.

There may be a great satisfaction in using long words, but even thac pleasure should give way to the necessity of making one's self understood. A certain officer on board a ship j was addicted to the use of long terms. Coming ou deck, one morn ing, he wished to orderthat a light aloft should be put out, and called pompously : "Main top!" ''Sorr," was the answer. 'Extinguish the luminary' "Sorr?" Just then the bluff old captain came on deck, and at once took in the situation. "Main top !" he called.

And it would "tell" most powerfully on all the interests of humanity. We must ourselves be the Pible to them, and our daily lives must be the sermon ; preached all the week in our daily employments and our social intercourse. We must put our soul's truth, our kouI'h in tegrity, our Christianity into all we do; the builder into the wall he builds, the artisan into the work be turns out, the manufacture into his cloth, the magistrate into his administration of justice, the Mem ber of Parliament into his law making, and so on t hroughout.

Of all places on earth, home is the most delicate and senitive. Its chords move with a breath; its Ores are kindled with a spark; its flowers are bruised with the least rudeness.

A single bitter Word may disquiet the home for a whole day, but, like unexpec ted flowers which spring up along our path, full of freshness, fra grance and beauty, so do kind words and gentle acts and sweet dispositions make glad the home where peace and blessings dwell.
