c INSTITUTES.

The Teachers Institute held at
Morning Star, last Friday and Sat
urday, by L. C. Peoples, Co. Supt
was an interesting and profitable
occasion to the teachers The class
drills, discussions and select read
ings were, in the main, good. The
school directors aud many of the
citizens attended the exercises both
DAYS and took adeep interest in the
proceedings.
Most of the teachers of the ad-
Joining districts we're present II
contributed much to the interest OF
the occasion. w. w. Matney had
his school in session on Friday. We
believe that Mr.. Matney could have
done a good work for the Institute
by teaching his classes for the ben
eft ofthose who were present. we
should be pleased to e this made
q feature in these local Institute.
Mr.. Natney has a good school and
teaches WE'LL. His methods could
best have been illustrated nv actual
school room work.
1t requires tact to manage an in
stitute veil. The Co. Supt., a do
mnch good in these educational
meetings. He, however, must be
we'll prepared and ever ready. His
object should be to discourage faui-
ty methods ofteaching and the intro
duction of better one There is
danger of wasting the time in profit
less discussion. Teachers want to
see methods exempliied by actual
class drill. The observing teacher
will often gather valuable informa.
ton from witnessing a well-conduc-
ted rescitation. In teaching, method
is everything and the Institute is the
place to develop the method
Another improvement is sugges'
ted. A class should never be en-
trusted to a teacher who is UMPIRE
pared. In the Institute there is ns
place for bungling work. Mode
work should be tho object and the
! efforts of all shou1d be so directed.

through the Standard oil company. Every
man IN the country who uses petroleum is
forced To pay price - per cent. higher
than is right. aud this IS per cent goes to
John Eoclsaicllcr and his associates. The
Standard company, on a nominal capital
of s!,5oo, 900. is said to pay an annual
dividend of over $4,000, 600. How was
this monopoly attained By means of
railroads. Less than twenty years ago
the Staniar; company was started by
ROckatelier. who was then i clerk, to-
gether with laborer named Andrews.
But they SonE obtained tho assistance of
the railroads. and their oil was carried
over the New York Central for 62 cents
per barrel, when other re.iners paid 81. 81
per barrel. The Pennsylvania railway
contracted with the Standard to double its
rates for freiShis and to pay back to the
Standard 81 for every barrel Of oil which
was carried over the road. Tho end was
that the Standard company ruined the
other retinerS. Of 50 oil refineras which
existed in Pittsburgh in 1867, % have,
been crushed and 90 are now run by the
Standard company. That company now
runs the oil ears, the oil reservoirs, tho

THE ASSASSIN INTERVIEWED.
A gentleman of this city, while in Wash
inSton this week, was taken by friend
who had the entree Of the prison, to see
Guiteau, whom he says resembles Lawyer
Denlinger, of this city, though for the sat
isfaction of that denizen of the Barbary
Coast, he declares that Guiteau is not an
ill-looking fellow, and not one whom he
would have picked out for an assassin.
He saw no signs of craziness about him,
though he seemed very nervous and was
constantly moving his hands about, fold
ing them over one another and taking
them apart, and showing in his whole
manner and conversation, the state
OF trepidatiOn that he is in. He
inquired whether there appeared to Je
many people on the streets in Washington
and whether there was much excitement
He sees hand against him in every one
who approaches him. When his visitors
came to his cell he sprang behind the door.
He has good reason for his timidity, not
only because Of the assault Of the soldier,
Mason, but on account of his conflict with
one of his guards, who pretended that he
had been assailed by Gutcau with q knife
that he had concealed in his boot le. the
truth about this is believed by the people
around the Jail to be that the guard ap-
preached Guiteau with the intention Of
killing him, but the prisoner was more
than his master in strength and turned
tho tables on him. He is said to be re.
markably athletic. The soldier, Mason,
made a good shot to put the bullet through
Guiteau's window, as it seems that this
was not in the outside wall, but opened on
an inner corridor, and the bullet passed
through an outside window and then Oh
liqucly through the cell window and would
have killed Guiteau if he had been stand
ing there rs usual. The prisoner is trou-
bled with persistent diarrhGa. caused,
as is supposed. by the state of fear in
which he constantly lives.

Hlyeriy's MastOdOus Last Evcnin

Hlverty's MastOdOBs Last Evening.
Mr.. lTaverly kept his faith with our
people last evening by presenting to them
one of the best minstrel entertainments
that has ever been given here. His Orig
inal MastOtlOns performed all the big
promises that preceded their ap-
pearance. Forty people in the first part.
including ten end men, made plenty Of
music and mirth. Mr.. Adams's tenor, Mr.
Shattuck's bass, Mr.. Hollands baritone,
MIR. Harley's, soprano, sounding to special
advantage, and their several songs being
loudly applauded by the large audience.
Billy Rice and Tom Sadler on the extreme
end chairs did the funny business and
kept all hands in a constant roar. The
o:io was very complete in it's various parts.
Sam Devere picked his banjo and told
funny stories in very funny way the
clog dancing was excellent and presented
lures; Billy Rice's lecture on 6 Educa-
tion " was learned and ludicrous; Adams,
Lee, Casey and Freeman gave a capital
performance on several instruments the
song and dance introduced dozen or
more clever actors and dancers and
Leon, in his female impersonations
achieved the hit of the evening, and was
repeatedly recalled he is undoubtedly the
best actor Of the class that has been seen
here. The concluding performance
" lIumpty Dumpty in Black, introducing
the we'll ll-known clown. Alex Zanfrctta,
was screamingly funny, and the perform
ancc rs a whole was one that could not
fail to satisfy the most exacting taste in
the matter of refined minstrelsy.
