Bashy teen ¥ PUBLIC SCHOOL BOOKS. The Booxs Adopted for Use in tke «~Pubhe Schools in Pitt County for _ the Next Three‘Years. Under a law passed by the last Leg- islature the adoption of books for the public schools was taken out’ of the | hands of the State Board of Education and putin the hands of the County Commissioners of each county, this adoption to last fer three years. ‘Attheir meeting Monday the Com- missioners of this county performe’ this duty by adopting without change the books now in use in the schools which had been adopted by the State Board of Education six years ago. We be- lieve this was wise because it does not require an additional tax upon our peo- ple in purchasing other books, which to say the least of it were no better than the ones now in use. The books now being used were se- lected with great care by a body of men fully competent to judge as to their merits. Besides it prevents any confusion upon the part of teachers and commit- teemen as to what books they should use. , Especially is it gratifying to know that some firms that are largely respon- sible for the unwise, change in the law did not get a dingle one of their buoks in this county.

A lawyer tells the following stor + in The Green Bag: “Some time ago he had under cross examination a youth from the country who rejoiced in the name of Samson, and whose replies were provocative of much laughter in the court. ‘And’ so,’ questioned the barrister, the court to believe that you are 3 ‘peaceably disposed and inoffensiv; kind of person?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And that you have no desire to follow in the steps of your illustrious namesake and smite tbe Philistines?’ ‘No. I’ve not,’ answered the witness. ‘And if I had the desire I ain’t got the power at present.’ ‘Then you think you woukl be unable to cope successfully with a thousand ene- mies and utterly rout them with the ja\vbone of an’ ass?’ ‘Well,’ answer. ed the ruffled Samson, ‘I might have a try when you have done with the weapon,’ ”’ ee Napoleon and Robert Fulton. | The émperor had revealed the truth to his favorite brother when ‘ie said that he himself would never attempt a landing on British shores; but that he might send Ney to Ire. land: . It is a significant straw that when Robert Fulton offered to make the flotilla independent of wind and wave by the use of steam Napoleon, the apostle of acience; friend of Monge and Volney, member of’ the institute, displayed very little scien- tific interest. For some time past he bad been coquetting with the American inventor, granting him inadequate ‘subsidies to prosecute his sehemes for applying ‘steam power to Various marine engines of destruction, He probably intended to keep others from using Fulton’s inventions. That he made no fair trial of them himself would seem to ‘show that he had no real ‘use for them.—‘‘ Life of Napoleon,’’: by Pro. fessor William M.
