Tho Bar Room Drama.

An audience of about eight hundred
persons honored the NJ. S. X. A. Dra-
matic Association in their rendition Of
"Ten Nights in a Bar Room" last even
ing at the Opera House. Though all
the characters except that Of the two
ladies were represented by Wilmington
home talent, the rendition of the piece
would have reflected credit upon pro-
f.ssionals. The acting was generally
conceded to have been much better
than on previous occasion, when it
was first presented.
Mr.. A. T. Klett in the comic charac-
ter of sample Swichel" could scarcely
he rxcclled. c. Stinson acted "Joe
Morgan" out to life, while little Annie
Jordan's personation of MARY Morgan"
was as near perfect as could be. Thos.
Hunter though rigid temperance man
was equal to "Simon Slade" as a land
lord, and George Hill as "Frank Slade"
made no mean bar.keeper. Elweod C.
Hill perfected Harvey Green" and
Harry Streets would have made an
original "Willis Hammond. Miss Da
Costa, Of Philadelphia. took the char
actrr Of "Mrs. Morgan" and Miss Gus
sic Rogers, of the same city, that Of
'Mehitablr Cartwright" The mana
gers as well as the actors deserve credit
for presenting such good evenings
entertainment, and We are glad to know
that it was remunerati'e to the associa-

Didn't Promise 10 Marry.

The jury in the Cameron Oliver case
brought in a verdict for the venerable
ex Senator at three o'clock, yesterday
afternoon. The jury was closeted for
three long hours. The delay caused
the greatest anxiety among General
Cameron's friends, and corresponding
elasticity in the spirits of the friends of
Mrs. Oliver. There was good deal of
excitemc mt in the city, and for the af-
trrnoon nothing else was talked about.
The feeling among all classes was
almost universal for General Cameron,
aud the fear that the jury might not
agree caused the greatest anxiety.
Contrary TO general expectation Judge
Carter did not change the jnry, but
gave them the case without remark.
The Judge has been vigorously fair in
the trial, leaning, if at all, to the side
OF the Oliver. The ex Senator and his
son bon were warmly congratulated.

FOURTH EDITION.
Rules Respecting Candidates For
the Office Of Teacher.

One of the good results of the present
discussion Of the cost and value Of
good teachers, is that this discussion
is producing better general under
standing OF what qualifications make
good teacher. The follow Ing are words
iitly written:
"School children have some rights
which school officers ought to regard in
selecting teachers for them, even at the
risk of offending popular sympathy, SO
easily aroused among people that have
no children to school, IN favor Of reject
ed teachers. The trouble about this
whole business seem to arise, partly at
least, from the fact that poor or indif
forent teachers are often scholarly and
estimable persons this their friends
know, but they do not always appear
to know that persons may be both schol-
arly and estimable, yet fail to govern
or teach children acceptably. 1t is not
every educated or accomplished woman
or man who can keep school,"
"The following are excellent rules
respecting candidates for the office of
teacher:
lst. Persons deficient in scholastic
requirements are incompetent.
I'd. Persons qualified scholastically,
who fail on trial in government or in
struction, may be permitted to resign
without prejudice.
3D.. Persons once qualified, who
have allowed themselves to forget or to
be surpassed in requirements by 9TH
els, may be assigned to subordinate po-
sitions or left out entirely.
4th. Persons who neglect to protect
personal property entrusted to their
care are too expensive.
5th. Persons whose fidelity in the
discharge of school duty falls under
We'll founded suspicion ought not to bs
continued.
9Th. In schools forming part OF
system, where large numbers are in
volved, teachers who do not cooperate
in good faith in enforcing needful rules,
or who neglect to conform to them
may be dropped. No individual excel
l-nce can offset the mischief of irregu-
larity or insubordination."
