TUB PHILOSOPHER WRITES FR?X THE ?TAR STAT*. AUartc Constitution. * Nbr& Carolina ls perplexes. The1 supremo court, has recently made a decision -that derange s their school-sys? tem. X am sorry for it> but maybe it is right-maybe it is. The graded schools: in this state aro the most prosperous that I hare ?ees anywhere. \ i bave j visited them and studied ihdr arrange- j men ts; ?sd board the $mpik r oci te and ; I felt ashamed that I was so far behind them. The ?modern system of teaching is certainly far ahead of the -old field ?chook :of ?cur fathers. Add np that1; : column of figures, John, said the teach- j er to the Httle ten-year-old. Se stood j op, and io a distinct vote?-went np tbe:j Jang row from bottom to top, increas? ing with every figure, and announced the ? result without hesitation. He did it as fast as Oliver Still well or the cashier, of a bank could do it. I strained my own mind to seep np with bim, but I ; could not. Next-a Ettie-girl, and then 1 another and-another, with new: colu mns ; every time, and they were ell e?pert; and ready. The^ -learn this skill -from -beards that have -?very -eombination. of numbers,-and get so familiar with them that they are ready for any nam hers (hat-apo written akrandonr en the black - , board. Those little chaps could all write well, much better than {?cen write, jj We went from room io room and there was excellence in every grade, and I thought rto myself what a blessed age these ?bi?aren?Kve in where education cheap and so tborcngh--cheap to rieb and free to the poor. Professor Cobb, who is at the head of the schools: sa Wilson, ls a young man with a bright, intelligent face, and seems per? fectly happy ta showing to visitors what this pupils can do. But asl said, North ?Carolina is perplexed. Heretofore the; Whites have taxed themselves to <ecstein j . ?the schools for the white children, and j ^be-negroes bave ?bad to do the same | ?fbr-their children. The school fund w ; >not common to both races. And so as *hs negroes have bnt dittle property to; *be taxed and never will have, -their schools are few :and feeble except where 1 (bey are aided by contributions from ?broad. Sot -the ?court bas decided \ **bai<fcfce ^negroes ^are entitled <io-u ?$ro \ tata part of the fend, a pro rata accord? ing to the number of- their children without any reference to property. And so there there is some rebellion in the camp. A man with no children sub? mitted rein-tautly to be taxed to educate other peqple's-cbildren. St!bis,,w&s;hard .enough *rben those children -were-of'bk own race j^and some of them perhaps ?&5d'to:bim, *but when bis money has to *be expended upon the negro, too, he will not stand it and hence the graded public sehook are in danger. The patrons will draw out one by one, and ?eave the-schools without money for the tax k a voluntary tax assented te'by, each community and they can vote it down if they choose. Well, now the question is wbst>k fight. Some jears ago I was horrified ?id indignant crt che idea of compelling ?ne man to 'help educate another man's ^children. ? am not yet reconciled to .either its justice or its policy, bat I -sar tOBdered and fell into line. ? can see no more reason in being forced -to ?ive my nabor's children learning than in : ; teing forced to give them bread or clothing, or to pay their doctors* bill's. Sf they code <not get some -education -without ?y aid, and if it was well estab? lished that their education was essential ?o the publie good tiren ? would feel 4?atthe<new system was right. But I never knew children to be refused admission to an old -fiekl school because ?heir fathers could not pay. And I Jim not yet satisfied that education be? yond reading and writing and arithme? tic k of |any advantage to the colored race. The whole system has an odor ?Af communism about it. I was con? versing with a gentleman who sends I bis children to a private school and , pays the teacher, for be says he has this right left him-the right to choose ' 1ik teacher and hold bim responsible but be pays his tax for the graded .chook and makes no complaint. Hut -BOW, when that tax bas to be doubled to take io the negro children, he will feel the oppression and will resist, for ie is no advocate of destroying the con? tented labor of the country by ed uca ting it. As I traveled to New Berne I saw the solicitor general of that judi? cial district. He was a bard looking mulatto and attracted general attention from hk profuse profanity and his brag .adocia. The negroesjio that district are .-about five to one of the whites, and they elected this loud mouthed hybrid. I am told that the bar, who are of tbo old type of southern gentlemen, have no difficulty in keeping this man with? in the boends of proper behavior in .the court bouse, but it is certainly mortifying to think that the autocratic people of New Berne, the home of the gifted Gaston and of Stanley and Man? ly, should have to submit to the like of this. Education taught di i s taza the ?rts of the demagogue and the profane .?wagger of the vagabond and not much .else. I was told that there is a new .color Hoe io &ew Berne, and that it is .extendttig into the interior-the color line between tbc bucks and the mulat? toes. The latter includes all shades between white and black and they assert their aristocracy both socially and re? ligiously. This color line was at the bottom of the late church trouble at Columbia whereby one party refused tc give up the pulpit to the preacher ap poioted by the bishop and in the fight for possession one negro was killed and two .wounded in the door of the church. The mulatto barber who shaved me said that them black niggers had done turned him out long ago and they i wasn't fit for nothin' but the cotton I field and ought to be there. He asked me if Mr. Davis was coming to Colom? bia and what subject he lectured on. When I told him that he did not lec? ture at all, be said : 'I heard to-day that he was drummin' for his Louisiana lottery.'. 'He has nothing to do with that lottery,' said I. 'Well, don't that lottery ?belong to the confederate generals V said he. This reminds me of the earnest inquiry that" an old gen? tleman made at Kiaston the other day. -j9Te:said he wan ted'to" take, a goodnews p?per that didn't advertise the Louis? iana ?ottery, and he hadn't been able to find one. 'ls there *no paper in south,' said be, 'that is rich enough to do with? out that bind of money ? Is there none that has solicitude enough abc ut the young ?en and morals of this country to come out and frown down this demor? alizing desire to gamUe and get some ting fer nothing. Why, sir., one-half th? yoong men of this country are going about with a lottery t?eket <tn their pock? et and their earnings are going into the greedy, all devouring maw of tbat lot? tery. - Beauregard^and Early bav?-dis graced thek epaulettes and their name and their fame for the sake of gold.' Kins toa Ss a beautiful little town, thirty miles east of KJoldsboro. They have a good trade there, but business is duli now and so the whole town turned out on a Majday frolic up the river by steamboat and bad a happy day. ? .was met at the depot by an -old Reman friend, Major Barrett, whom I bad not seen in twenty-five years and saw him last at Manassas. Me is the postmaster at Minston and is highly respected by that peoples But New Berne is the quaintest old town I have seen. It is nearly as-antiquated--as St Augustine in Florida. Many of the ancient buildings are there yet. It used to be eagled Che Athens of "Carolina, and is .still a eity cf -col tu re and refinement, and boasts of considerable wealth and commerce. ?heir -beet society wears that graceful .dignity that is peculiar to -seacoast towns and cities. They have abundant leisure and take life slow and easy.. New Berne is a great fish market, but I did not get any. If I was a low country landlord I think that I would -give a bungry men from the up- country some fish and some ?oysters, bat tney won't; I would look over 'the register -end see where my guest* were from, and would suit the fare to their tastes. My friend Judge ?Underwood was in florida last winter, where ike -shad wen; as ?plenty and as cheap as springs chickens jin .North Georgia, and he told me he-had been .therefore weet and bad not-seen a fish nor an oyster at the table" "New Berne -smells- fishy. ! Large, beautiful shad sell for twenty cents a ?pair and oysters at fifty cents, a bushel. A friend excited me about the fine sport of fishing and said I must come down in September and go with him. troting for bluefish and Spanish .makerel. Said he, 'iou .inst erm -vourself with a book and line and a small white bone with a bole io it. The line is drawn through the bone and it rests just above the hook and thc big .fish mistake it fora little one and make a grab ^and are caught. Then you have splendid pulling. Did you ever catch fish, on dry land?' 'Of course not/ said I. 'Why, it is very common here,* said he. 4We set oar-semes ?nd 'nets out on the -eloping banks of these -rivers and during the night the tide rises and covers them, ! and as the tide ebbs the .fish make for the falling stream and are caught in th?.eeines-and there we 'leave them until -we ?can go 'to the seine on dry land.'. My-friend-said thetthe seines around New IBerne, if all put together, would make a line four hundred miles !?long. The be9t farming country I have seen in my travels is that belt lying I between the coast line of railroad and I the sea. It embraces the land from ! New Berne to Tarbor jugh. The farm ersdook fat and sleek and don't grumble. Tarborough has a splendid trade from these solid men. I was welcomed to this old town by the Edgecomb Guards, a splendid company of young men that has grown np on the decline of the old company, the War Horses, the vete? rans who under that nade fought the first fight at Bethel, where the first secession blood was shed and thc first man killed. But these boys say they are tart bunting for a fight, but they .expect some day'to be part of a nation? al guard to save the union and preserve it from that horde of foreign devils who are about to unsettle and demoralize civil law and government at the North. Georgia has a great name with these Carolinians-they think we are a little ahead of the other Southern States well, we are in manufacturing, but 1 do believe we are behind in agriculture. Nevertheless, there is enough even where I go to make the people thank? ful and contented if they have a mind tobe. I was traveling over land with an Ohio man, and he looked ut a man who sat in the door of an humble cabin and sa:d, 'Now, look at that man. [ What has he got that a man ought to ; have.' 'Something,' said I, 'that you have not got, and is worth more than gold-contentment. He bas content? ment.7 So has a hog.' said he cynical!*-. Well, I felt the force of his reply. But I knew the Ohio man was worth two hundred thousands dollars and w;s working harder for more, and was all absorbed in its pursuit. So I ruminated and wondered which [ would prefer to be if I had to choose between tbeiu, and I thought of that Scripture which says something about a camel goi?g I through a needle's eye. But ? don't wish to be either thc one or the other. There is a middle ground that suits me very well. Rainbow Party. The latest novelty in Chicago is the ? "rainbow partyThe young ladlee wear little aprons with the bottom left unhemmed. Every yoting lady has a number, and these numbers arc placed in a box.

At the recent sesjHown of the Bap? tist General Conwit?on, held at Montgomery, Alabama, the following preamble and resolution was passed by a very large vote : Whereas, the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage in the opiuion of this convention, are opposed to the best interest of society and government, and the progress of our holy religion ; and, believing that all honorable means should "be em? ployed for their suppression. There? fore be it Resolved, That we, as members of the Southern Baptist Convention, do most solemnly protest against its man? ufacture and sale, and pledge our in? fluence, in the exercise of our rights as citizens of this free country, socially, morally, religiously, and in all other propel* ways, to work for its speedy overthrow-and to this end we invoke the aid and blessing of Almighty God." A Florida giri has written an open letter to Jones, the love-sick Senator, wanting to know why he has gone to frozen Michigan 'to waste his virgin affections upon the marble heart of an unresponsive woman? Let him return,* says she, 'to his pwh sunny land of Sowers and bananas, where mocking birds ever sing in' the magnolia and lemon trees, where the soft air is laden with odor and orange flowers. Why does he turn away from us, his own sisters of the balmy and languid South, who long for his kisses? Come back! Come back ! Oh Jonesey, you old fool, came back.!'
