THERE is no one method that is so
good that the form and some details
should not be varied at times to break
the monotony, especially in primary
classes.
Ir you must waste time upon fiction,
then get Les Missrabies. by Victor
Hugo, and read it all, not Skipping
single page. 1t is the best novel writ
ten to which most have access.
On Wednesday night the public
school building in River Falls was en-
tered and articles belonging to teachers,
pupils and to the school were stolen.
Other articles were destroyed. Suspi
cion of course points to the party who
searched some of the rooms during
the winter term. -
Miss ELLA Day, of River Falls, will
teach in the Strahl district, about four
rods into ST. Croix county. She very
properly began preparation by sub
scribing for the N. E. Journal of Edu-
cation and Primary Teacher, which if
well read will help her wonderously.
We prophesy success.
If teachers will spend two hours per
day in close study and thought, it will
put their dotage twenty years later in
their lives than it comes to those who
never study any thing more sound and
thoughtful than the N. Y. Weekly, or
Mrs. E. d. Southworth's prolix day
dreaming. Take your choice.
ave cannot associate habitually with
feeble minds without injury to our
selves. We cannot become familiar
with the works of feeble minds with
out injury. The mass of fiction with
which the press groans is for the most
part the product of feeble minds, and
should be avoided altogether .-Prest.

position in the River Falls public

of fine volume of Tennyson's Com

whole, she 3ceived fine inlaid writ
ing desk, a vase, knife and crystal
match safe. She did much hard work
and deserved the best wishes of her
pupils. She began work at Trimbelle

The Madison papers are sail torn
up over the alleged criminal ineffi-
cheney of the Fire department of the
capital city, and are just bowling for
a change of some kind, which will
likely be made. Though the Council
and Mayor are Democratic the Demo-
cratic paper there is as loud in its de-
mands for change as its Republican
opponent. which indicates an opportu-
nifty for improvement.

The Madison Democrat expresses the
belief that Hendricks, if nominated by
the Democrats for President in 1880,
would surely carry Wisconsin, from
which it would appear that The Dem
ocrat folks do not consider the recent
defeat of a straight Democratic can
didate in this State by over thirty
three thousand, of much consequence.

AN item not very encouraging to the
Greenbackers: ''Full returns show
that the coalition between the Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers in Michigan
polled $4,000 less votes than the two
parties united last fall, and 5000 less
than the full Democratic strength
three years ago." An analysis of this
item will also fail to produce much
comfort for the average Democrat.

The Washington Post assumes Sena-

dent of the United States. claiming
that the failure OF Tilden and Hend-
ricks to qualify as President and Vice
President respectively left a vacancy
in these offices which the election of
Thurman as President pro tenn of the
Senate supplies de jure, so far as the
Presidency is concerned. Has the
Post man ever heard of an Electoral
Commission proposed by Democrats
in Congress as tribunal to avoid this
de jltrs businessl and has he ever
heard that such tribunal declared the
result of the Presidential election Of
1873, under the law which created it,
in such manner as TO entirely dis

IT is reported that 500 of the emf
grating negros have been engaged to
labor in the construction of the North
ern Pacific extension. 1t is asserted
that they will have to work a less
number of hours each day than is re-
Quired OF them on Southern planta-
lions and that they will receive better
pay; and then when their work shall
have been completed on the railroad
they will be near free or cheap lands
which they can obtain and soon con-
vert into farms. And yet we are told
that thsy should not leave the South,
where residence for them is little
less than bondage, lest they may share
worse fate.

ALL have read more or less of the
"billingsgate of pot-house politicians, .
but for rare gems of "billingsgate"
commend us to the published cores
pondence between the President of the
State Fish Commission and an ex-
member of the Commission. 1t is a
trite saying that "when thieves fall
out honest men get their dues" which
adage seems applicable in this case as
by this tilt between these eminent
fish men the ''true inwardneSs of the
Commission is being exhibited to the
public.

THE Milwaukee Telegraph, which af-
fects to have no sympathy with either
the Republican or Democratic party
as against the other but which cannot
conceal its prejudice in favor of the
latter, says: mo sagacious Mllwau-
kee Democrat believes that the Demo-
cratic candidates for State officers will
be elected next fall" AS the editor
of the Telegraph is himself ''saga-
cious Milwaukee Democrat the SEN
tence above quoted may reasonably be
considered as an utterance to the eff
feet that but little hope of Democrat
ic success in Wisconsin next fall is
nurtured in the bosom of the Tele-

A STRAW. In the Louisiana Con-
stitutional Convention at New Or
leans last week resolution that men,
beers take an oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States, was Ia
bled. The fact of the business is, the
average Louisianain has no respect for
the Constitution of the United States
and makes no effort to conceal the
fact that such is the case.

The success of Secretary Sherman in
his refunding operations has been
alike the wonder and admiration of
all who favor an inviolate preserva-
ton of our national credit, but the
London Times warns tie United States
that these operations cannot be re-
peated two years hence when the SKIES
of 1881 become due, as the revival of
business will then have made it i'm
possible to obtain money at four per
cent. Well, we are in favor of ''re-
vival of business" even if the rates of
interest should thereby be increased.

'ALLs, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. MAY ]. 1879.

A MADISON letter to the Milwaukee
Telegraph alleges that since the in
crease of Supreme Court Judges to the
number Of five Chief Justice Ryan has
made himself obnoxious to many by
refusing to sit with the Court in the
consideration of one-fourth the cases
which come before it, the reason as
signed being that the Other four men,
bers of the Court did not agree with
the Chief Justice in the manner of as
signing cases and he failing to secure
their recognition of the superiority()
of his plan in making TIE assignments
got mad and refuses to sit on more
than three-fourths of the cases. A
persistence in this course for two
years will ALLEVIATE from him SO many
of the more influential lawyers and
their clients that he will hardly deem
it expedient to become a candidate for
reelection, and the friends of ex-Sen-
ator Howe are already beginning to
consider the feasibility of urging that
individual for the Chief
Justiceship. Chief Justice Ryan is
said, unfortunately for himself and his
friends, to possess a most ungoyernable
temper, frequently flying into great
passion upon the most trivial pretext.
