Be patient with the little ones Let nei-
ther their slow understanding nor occasional
pertness offend you, or provoke the sharp re-
proof. Remember the world is new to them,
and they have no slight task to grasp with
their uuripened intellects the mass OF facts
and truths that crowd upon their attention.
You are grown to maturity and strength,
through years Of experience, and 1t Ill be-
comes you to fret at the little child that fails
to keep pace with your thought. Teach him
patiently, as God teaches you, line upon
line, precept upon precept; here little and
there a little Cheer him in his conflict Of
mind in after years his ripe rich thought
shall rise up and call you blessed. Bde
patiently the endless questioning Of your
children. Do not roughly crush the spirit of
free inquiry, with an impatient word or
irown, nor attempt, on the contrary, long
and instructive reply to every slight and cas-
ual question. Seek rather to deepen their
curiosity. Convert, if possible, the careless
question into profound and earnest inquiry,
and aim rather to direct and aid than to an
swer the inquiry. Let your reply send the
little questioner forth, not so much proud OF
what he has learned, as anxious to know more.
Happy are you if, in giving your child the
morse of truth he asks for, you can sharpen
his curiosity with glimpse Of the mountain
of truth lying beyond so wilt thou send
forth philosopher, and not silly pedant
into the world.

STRAN CALAmlTY.--A very
strange report comes up from Helena
on apparently good authority. Some
days or evenings ago five young men
passed few hours together in q social
manner at ono Of their rooms, and
separated for the night, as young men
usually do, without any unusual oc-
currepce. Next morning u was dis
covered that they were all deaf, ap-
parently beyond relief. One Of them
is now in this city for treatment,
though We have not met him. These
are the leading features of this 70.
markablo event, asrelated by gen.
tleman who came up from Helena
last week; but it seems so incredible
that we give it only as a rumor and
forbear giving names or further par
particulars at present. - Memphis Led.

THE NEXT BRITnH CENsus.-A
census of Great Britain is to be
taken next year on tho tho "photo-
graphic" or instantaneous plan..-
Blanks are to left a. each house dur
ing the last week of March next, to
be filled up "with particulars of the
name, sex, ago, rank, profession or
occupation, condition, relation to tho
head Of tho family, and birthplace of
every person who abode in the house
on the night of Sunday, tho lst of
April" The blanks will be collected
during the ensuing week, and they
will give accurate returns, of tho
population on that ni.ht. Under the
plan now being followed in taking the
census Of this country, tho cnumora-
tors arc several weeks in going
through their respective districts, du-
ring which time many changes may
occur from births, deaths or removals.
An attempt was made in Congress to
introduce the photographic" system,
but it was defeated. The "patron.

ailarge number OF enumorators for a
single week would not have been de-
sirable. t,.~

TF0chu.

The appointment of Gen. Tro'.hu 10
the military command of Paris is one Of
the boldest steps yet taken By tho EN-
peror. 1t has had the effect which it
was intended to have, Of reconciling
Paris to the government Of the Court
OF Palikao ; and it will undoubtedly do
more towards strengthening the resis-
tanco Of France of her invaders, than
any other measure which has been adop-
ted since the disasters OF the Eastern
frontier. But precisely because it
strengthens France apd pacifes Paris
does it menace the personal empires
with final dissolution.
Gen. Trochu is a man Of great militia
~ genius aad ability. who has been
kept as far in the back. ground as his
surprising abilities would permit, be-
cause he has mover given his cordial
support to the Imperial Government.
He is neither Republican nor royal
,st as such, bnt soldier who under.
stands the principles of libety sufficiently
to regard them as the sole foundation in
modern times of durable national
strength. This the people of Paris
know. They look upon him in the
present crisis ofthe nation and the Gov.
ernmcnt as they looked upon Cavalgnac
in the tremendous days OF June, l84S,
when a provisional government far
weaker and more incapable than the
Government Of Napoleon trembled and
hesitated before an enemy more terrible
than many Crown Princes and King
Williams. In the event of new disas
ters to the French army, Trochn would
almost certainly pass from the military
government Of Paris to the head OF the
nation. In the event Of victory over
the invaders, he will become the irresls.
tible standard bearer of a really free and
responsible administration Of the Gov.
ernment. Meanwhile, and as military
measure only, his command Of Paris
assures to Marshal Bazaine the fullest and
most persistent reinforcement OF his
Uhaons. The two commanders are in
constant communication by telegraph
and Paris, under Trochu, is made
part of the mighty forces fighting for
France at Chalons under Bazaihe.-

CAN'T SpEAK.-In his speech at
Yorkville on Monday, 22d inst, Gen.
NJ. G. Butler said that Governor Scott
has been repeatedly challenged by
himself and Judge Carpenter to meet
them before the people, but the cha
lenge has mover been accepted. The
Governors friends plead in excuse
that he is no speaker; but General
Butler replies that he did make a
speech ut Washington City last spring,
which was telegruped all over the
countey, to ,oit, tho Govcrnc.'s ce!e-
brated Winchester rife speech, in
which he said that weapon wrs the
best law for South C.rni,n Gr..
Is. thought it very strange that the
man who could make so vigorous q
speech seven hundred miles from
home could not speak to tho people
he governs.
But the mystery is clcared up by
the Governor himself, who declares
he is on the "pickct line" This be-
ing the case, long range is his forte.-
In politics, as in war, his shots are
fired from distance. - Yorkvliie En-

The Paris Moaaeu' gives the follow.
ing account of the death Of General
Douay, at the battle of Weissenburg
"The General was from the beginning
in the thickest of the fight. When he
saw that the day was lost, after he
had done all he could to retrieve it,
when even not battalion was left him,
he called his aids, one by one, gaye
them orders and sent them away. As
soon as the last one was gone, the
General, spurriug his horse, rode some
distance to the front, dismounted, and
taking pistol from tho holster shot
the animal, and then turning around
slowly, walked toward the enemy
His soldiers vainly tried to stop him.
Amid tho terrible firing he deliberate
ly walked on. The rotreating SOL
diers, aroused by tho spectacle, turn.
ed again upon the enemy, but fell in
heaps around their General, who still
pressed forward. Another tremcn.
dous discharge from the enemy, and
General Douay, almost alone, fell
dead"

State News.

The Chesterfield Democrat urges
every one to 60 to work, and declares
that unless change be made in the
State Government, all the property in
country will bo swept away "bcfore
/ Soott's second term expires"
The Georgetown Times says: "Wc
take hope from tho signs on the poll,
tical horizon, which point to the re. ee.
tablishment of those true Republican
principles, 30 long held in abeyancc.
Ere another year rolls around, wo
trust the old Palmetto State will her.
aid victory of good government, and
that the election Of Carpenter ana
Butler will establish that harmony
between the races never again to ho
disturbed"
The Union Times says, that after
Judge Carpenter concluded his speech
at Newberry, last Monday, president
Of one of the leagcs, with number
OF the private members, went up to
him, shook him cordially by the hand,
and told him publicly that they in
tended to vote for him and General
Butler. Wherever Judge Carpenter
has spoken he has confirmed the wa.
vering, revived tho hopes of the des-
popding, and won many converts to
the Reform party.
The Horny News says: "From
every section of tho country that We
hear from, the Reform tide rolls on,
increasing in volumes as it goes. At
Que time there was danger that a want
OF concert of action on the part of
those who favor reform might so d.
vide the vote of the county as to leave
probable chance for the Radicals to
elect to the Legislature out.and-out
Radicals, or men who wero so far com.
mitted to thoir policy, and dependent
on the votes, as not to pledge them
selves to the Reform party. This
danger is now ayerted."

Of this city, now. resident in Paris:
"The two hkenesses sent by Mr..

the first, that of Mr.. Calhoun, is rather
dark, but admirably painted. Without
fattering his model. without having re-
course of any Of those little convention
al effects which French portraitists use
so unsparingly, the artist has gwen US
living image Of the celebrated statesman.
There isa world Of thought in that
square and powerful forehead, in that
somewhat hard. but determined look.
American painters have genius OF their
nation when they paint a likeness, they
do not show us ssnirking gentleman,
trying to look his best they show us
the thinking face Of man, who doe.
not care whether his attitude IS sumblilne.
ly correct or his shirt collar perfectly
starched,"
This portrait Of Calhoun is now the
property Of the South Carolina Society,
of this oity. 1t was presented by
Messrs. Henry J. Clarke and Robert
Maxwell Clarke, and their sister, Miss
Caroline e Clarke, all natives Of this
city, now residents Of Europe, as mem.
orial of the kindly feeling entertained
by them for the city Of their birth. "
