SOME INCONSISTENCIES, To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, Nov. H.—The fiscal year ending June 81, 1877, shows tha Government tax which was coliected In the First District of Illinols, wrhich Is Cook County, to bo $1,407,058.07. Of this amount about $300,000 was the tax on cigars; on the basls of 86 per thousand, a trifle over one-half cent each (six mills each), we will call five cents tho minimum price as theaverage price for which cligars aro sold, and you have 83,000,000 invested in cigars, and the balance of the tax collected, 81,107,058.67, Is on smoking and chewling tobaceu. This is ralsed on tho basfs of 24 cents per 1b, We willcali tho average price for which theso tobaccos are sold B6 cents per Ib,, and you have Invested In that branch of the trade, $1,708,638,67, making the nogre- gate cost for Cook County, $4,703,658.67. From thoso the best posted (and 1 have consulted not a fow) 1t 18 safe to say there Is ns much tobacco manufactured clsewhere and brought here for #ale by our merchanta as is fold to go out of tho district. We will drop from the sum total B203,558.07 for the benefit of suburban towns in the county, and you have left to be burned up and chewed in Chicago alone four and one-half milllons of dollars, and to call the average prico of the clgar ten cents, which is nearer tho value, and you have tho sum total of six millions of doliars. But to be on the safa side, we will distount from this ore million of dolinrs, and eall tho valuc of that as actually consumed Jive nillions of dollars, which {s more mone ‘than Is involved o all Ehe hank failures i th city ducing the lnst twelve months, Plenso re- member, ton, this was [na year of great com- merelal depression, when there was much sufTer- inz for the necessaries of lfo in our mldst, ns well as elsewgere, Now, who will be the first onc to riso and cx- plain this great waste?

(Laughter.] I recollect but Hetle of it, and that little was ot pleasant, [Loughter.] I recollect heing taxen in the cold winter morning over the River Niva to the littio town opposite, where an English teachier had his Jittio school. 1lis name wos Fishwick, I remem- ber. Iwentasboys go always, not knuwing what I was golne to find, but I recolleet that I found In that period a great deal of cold and no sort of 'learning. [Laughter,} * But, dibgularly enough, in the same poriod of time, when I waa at hotne, lving quictly in the family, I caught four differont Janguages, and 1 could nrenl: clther of those langunges with equal facliity, Now, here Is a leason of teaching. I went fo school wheroe 1 Iearned nothing, and I remalned at home where L learned to speak fotir lane guages, [Applousc.] Leaving Russls, ! camo with my pareats whien thoy left v to another fleld of l¢arnlug, of instruction. That was Great Britaln, and thero I spent two years, ond I was taken to o achool containing nhout xsbo scholars, ~—a private school kept'hy Dr. Nichols. Buton reflection at this thne of how much I learned there, I most scriously say that I learncd noth- ln].'. ‘Tho achool wus & very good one for thuse who were dis tostudy, [Laughter.] “ Rut for thoso who had doubts about that matter, 1t was not, and I came away, Dr. Nich- ols stood up in his high chair, he came in and looked at us for about fifteen minutes, and it there woa any boy to bo whivped {v was done, and then hio rutired Into his study. Suchwas tho atate of things, J having reached the age of 10 when I was brouglt here by my parents on their return_homa from thelr long resldence in Europo. _ Then it was that my father, ‘mfl"’i consulted with porsons here, bethought himsct that he would mnot take us te Washiugton, but would leaye us lore to be to bg instructed in Boston, I remember well tho day when I was taken to the Latin Behool, and somo friend of nine has told mo to-day that he remambers the ay, too, bocause I had como [u alittlo sort of dress of an Awnoricansallor, with American buttons an it, and that struck Lim as bolng ver) patriotic. It did not striks. mo 8o, beeause was very faniliar with it. 1 will now say that during the two years alone 1 which I remalned at the Latin Sciiool 1 learned more than 1 have at In§ other period of my life. (Applause.] It ‘was the only school that presented to me, who was naturally of an indolent turn, {nduccments to learn. Iremember very well Mr. Gould had n curious process {n the class to which I belong- ed, of - prncnuus to the person who was at the head of bis class for the longest time an old Phi Beta Kappa ncdal, which he was to wear the rest of the week, That was n great fnduce. ment. I recollect brow proud I was when I kept that medal somnctimes for' weeks and weeka. Now this may bo o small thing in ltself, but it contains the clements which produce great re- sults in your minds. Unfortunately, at tho end bf “two years my father wus not very well salsfled. e thought I ought to have learned more, and, in order to teach me more, bis carrdod mo to \Vuhinulnn.

As tolessons, why that was a matter of no_consoquence. As to tho boys, they were walking up and down tho room entirely tincon- scious of the mastor, and the master egually unconscious of them. I cau consclentiously say that diring the timo I spent fn that school 1 ‘never learncd anythivg at all. }Lnu he tor,] A few mouths” later tho school broke up of Iteelf.
