THE FATE OF HOME ENTERpRIsE
At THE HANDS OF THE PREsENr

tional bill recently adopted by the
present Legislature, tho following
persons compose the Committee on
Textbooks Governor Scott, Messrs.
X. Tomlinson, Jillson, Maxwell TOOL
ored) and Smalls (colored.) We
learn that at meeting, held on
Monday evening, the question came
up as to the selection Of textbooks
for tho public schools for South Car
olina. For some time past, Philadol-
phia and New York have had their
agents here, to secure tho privilege of
feoding the young South Carolinian on
Northern pabNlum. Our enterprising
publishers, Messrs. Dufie & Chap.
man, also presented the claims of
their series Of readers and writing
books. But, as might have been an
tioipated, they were not acceptable. to
tho Board. New York prevailed, and
thus we have the way in which the
Educational Committee propose to
foster homo enterprise. The series of
readers presented by Messrs. Duffie
& Chapman were prepared by Profes-
sor Reynolds, and are really liable to
no objection, even at the hands of this
committee. We hope that the public
will bear this incident in mind, Let
the private schools, at least, see to it
that they encourage homo publica-

N ,poleon's Troubles.

Among the latest items Of telegraph
ic news from Paris is one which we'll
deserves passing notice. On the in
terpellation introduced in the Cham
bers relative to the domestic policy
of the government by NJ. Jules Favre,
it is said, immediate action will be
urged. 1t is said that If Ministers
do not accept the Interpolation the
cleft Centre" will vote with tho
"Extrcme Lcft"-,hat is, the mode

has been acting more or less steadily
with NJ. Ollivier--will join the eek
tremists" or s'irreconcilables,' and
thus force upon France tho question
whether the one man power is to be
restored or whether it is to be revolu-
tion. The opposition united will
make it impossible for NJ. Olivier to
remain in office and, NJ. Olivier out
Of Office, there will be left gap
which it will be difficult for any Cur
thus to ill. NJ. Olivier is, no doubt,
doing woll in tho circumstances; but
tho circumstances are peculiar, and
his misfortune is that in doing woll he
is under the necessity Of acting too
much with the Emperor and too little
with the people. In the eyes of the
opposition the Prime Minister is n
partisan. Should the threatened
union take place what would follow :?
In oil likelihood Olivier would re-
sign. In that case successor will
be sought. If found, he will have
his chance. If he can yield moro to
popular demand, we'll. The presump-
tion is that concession in the Emper-
or's mind has reached its limit. 1t

this-revolution or the restoration of
the one man power. This new diff

Story OF a CANARY.--A very pref
ty and curious incident illustrative Of the
reasoning powers possessed by inferior
animals recently occurred in tho case
Of canary bird. The door Of tho birds
cage was occasionally left open. that he
might enjoy the freedom Of the room.
Oue day ho happened to light upon the
mantel shelf whereon was a mirror.
Here was new discovery Of the most
profound lnterest. He gazed long and
curionsly at himself, he came to tho
conclusion that he had found q mate.
Going back to his cage, he selected a
seed from it's box, and brought it in its
bill ns an Offering to tho stranger. In
vain the canary exerted himself to mako
his pew-lound friend partake, and be-
coming weary Of that, tried another
trick. Stepping back few inches from
the glass. he poured forth his sweetest
notes, pausing now and then for n
reply. None came, AMI moody and
dlsgnsted h. few back to his perch,
hanging his head i'll shame and silence
for the rest of tho day, and although
the door was repeatedly left open, he
refused to come out again.

TuN OLDEST SpoT ON THE GLoBE.---
Prof. w. G. Nerr, State Gcologist Of
North Carolina makes the following
statement "The facts above stated
are sufficient to indicate that those rocks
belong 10 the most ancient Of the azoic
series. The intensity Of tho metamor.
phism, The characteristic rocks and
their contained minerals, together with
the total absence Of anything like or.
gansms in even the least altered and
latest Of the SERIES Tin Cherokee
County, for example, render this cou.
clnsion inevitable. And hot only do
they belong to the lowest geological
horizon, but The entire absence OF all
representatives. Of the later formations
makes it further necessary to conclude
that we have here an extensive tract of
