River Notes.

The recent copious rains have given a
good boating stage of water to st. Paul, the
truth of the statement being found in the
arrival last night from St. Louis of the K.
N. steamer Charley Cheever, with $500
packages for St. Paul. The rise in the river
yesterday was some three inches, making a
total rise of some five inches and giving up
wards of two feet in the channel, and
still rising, and more rain in prospect. The
Cheever will load, to- day, for st. Louis, one
item of her cargo being the first consign-
signment of the season of Montana furs and
hides, consisting of 1000 packages, for the
st. Louis market. The Cheever will prob
ably not get away before tomorrow morn
ing, The Anna will probably be the next
boat from st. Louis, and before the close Of
the week it is expected that the boats of bott
lines will resume regular trips to St. Louis

Il Hun of the PeODIe.

The boisterous weather of last evening would
seem to preclude the possibility of large au-
dience, but nevertheless the upper part of the
Opera House fairly filled. The play Sc
lected was ''A,Man of the People, drama
Astounding in thrilling situations and stirring
scenes. 1t represents poor hummer, picked
out of the slums Of New York. reformed
through the agency of few kindly words, and
transformed into respectable man of society.
OF course the traditional villain-or rather
three of him-fgures in the play, and there is
a plentiful display Of fire arms, though fortu-
nately for the audience none are discharged.
There is a plentiful sprinkling of fun and
some good singing interspersed, and altogether

so called; all oral teaching or recitation
was on the ebb, its day and the Juror for it
having passed. He believed in the use of
text books, and that they be read carefully
and frequently under the supervision of the
teachers. Analytical and syntheti.al plans
were the ones adopted, the latter being first
introduced and resulting in complete failure:
yet it was the true system, but teacher had
to be adapted to the process of teaching.
Supt. Wright thought confinement to
the text book gave result thoroughly me-
chanical, both as to the requirements of the
pupil, and the mode of the teacher. The
superintendent also felt inclined to favor to
the full extent oral instruction.
Supt Reynolds again took issue with Sapt
Wright, and the discussion was briefly kept
up to the interest of all the teachers.
| Gen. Smith and Miss Stanley submitted
reports respectively upon the methods of
teaching arithmetic and grammar. Both
reports dealt with the subjects in manner
peculiarly interesting to the teachers. MISS
Laura Hand closed this feature of the day s
proceedings with report upon the art OF
teaching spelling understandingly.
The formal or technical part OF
the exercises were pleasantly interrupted
with song from Miss Emma Haggerty
She selected the grand old song, Crooked IN
the Cradle of the Deep and sang it with ex.
preston and most melodiously. At the
close of the exercises, being requested by
several of the teachers, she favored her audi
ence with second charming vocal selec
ton.
On the whole the exercises were of {
nature peculiarly interesting to teachers
The reports submitted and briefly referred
to above, contained suggestions OF impor
lance, and are steps in the effort to harmon
ize the manner of teaching throughout tn
city, SO that advancement from one grade t
