ALKADxE reporter enjoyed yesterday
. very pleasant interview with Charles
Nordhon. who needs no introduction, the
nzzne being familiar 10 the reading pub
Lie through the gentleman's prominent
position on the staff Of the New York
Herald. and his several well read books.
This interview was all the more enjoya-
BILE to the reporter, and certainly 90
to Mr.. Nordhof. through the absence
OF that professional pumping which
takes away the v of these transito-
~ yislts. The reporter found Mr..
Nordhoff walking the platform alone,
enjoying his cigar and q most pleasant
day, and introduced himself in q word,
receiving q pleasant welcome.
Mr.. Nordhoff is q solid-b built, square
shouldered man, but not above the COM
mon size withal- His hair and full
beard, cut rather short, are streaked
with gray, but his eye Is as quick and
sparkling, even through a pair of eye
glasses, as they ever were. Helnquired
eagerly about the condition of Presi-
dent Garfield, and here it may be well
to say that it is generally understood
that the editorial course Of the Herald
since the assassination has been die
tated by the subject of this paragraph.
Mr.. Nordhoff expressed himself as be-
ing q great admirer of the plains, hay.
ing crossed them several times, and said
that he had already begun to experience
the favorable effect Of the rare dry at
mosphere, having suffered somewhat
from hay fever previous to striking this
higher altitude. He noted a marked
Improvement in the substantial appear
ance of this city as compared with the
town of eve years ago. the time of his
last visit.
Mr.. Nordhoff is OF his way to Ari-
iona, where he has two sons interested
in the mines there. These are the two
boys to whom he directed his remarks
In his widely read book, "Politics for
Young Americans" One of them will
return with him to the east to attend
school, Mr.. Nordhoff will continue
his journey into California, which state
he has ably described in his popular
book, and will return east oyer the
southern route in October.

The Exhibition.

On Tuesday evening at the Court house,
the pupils Of the Canton schools gave an
exhibition that was highly entertain-
ing. The programme consisted Of sing
ing, recitutions and dramatic exercises.
An admission Of 10 cents was charged,
which Melted quite a sum, us the room
crowded, many occupying the a;slcs, thus
utilizing every space possible with dis~
All acquitted themselves in manner that
indicated. care and culture on the part of
their teachers. Some of the pieces were
cncored, and some Of tie comical cilarac>
lers would have done credit to older and
more experienced actors. Owing to the
length Of time occupied in the rendering
of the two dramas, Calls we'll that ends
wcll' and "Young Amazon" few were
uncaled, which is to be regretted on he
part Of of Those who had prepared them
selves.
The teachers. Willis Benedict, II isses
Mona Miller and Carrie Taylor, have not
only reformed their duties satisfactory TO
the parents, but have endcarcl them selves
in the memories and affections Of their
pupils. a marked improvement is muni-
tesict, in the three departments oyer which
these instructors have presided. The alp
probation Of coed teachers is but q small
reward for their laborluus efforts, and
when earned, those benefited, either as
pupil or parent, should 1T least pay TIL
feeble tribute OF words of commentator
and encouragement. 1t is gratifying
to witness the fact that our schools are
keeping pace with the other advance
mCnls OF towns and country If school
boards would employ none but
experienced teachers, and particularly in
districts as large and containing rs many
advanced pupils as ours, the standard OF
common or uislli:t schools would be rails
ed and a thankful community would be
benefited beyond what most any other
improvement would affect. II IS hoped
the present corpse OF teachers may be in
duced to continue their services in this
district

Es,pclElaa isaiSed.

Two years ago VIC looked anxloUs,y and
frequently down he valley for the frs,
puff of steam and smoke that would her
aid the approach of the engine and track
laying on the Pemhna line. For the past
three weeks the same line of vision has
been scanned in vain for the signal that
would break the fearful monotony ct this
tedious blockade. The down train Of
March ID was the last, and for upwards
of three weeks storms and wind had alter
mated, adding gloom and dread to the I'M
prccedcnted score old winter has made.
! One mail in % days IN place Of four dai>
which added to the growing scarcity of
table and house supplies, tended to create
anything but a cheerful frame of mind.
An it has been our fortune to be three
times blockaded by the be-iysrnal snow
away from home this winter, until finally
were blockaded in. But Sunday last the
solemnity Of the day was broken by the
welcome sound of the whistle. The snow
train arrived with sixty shovele1s. who
had finally dug their way through from
Sioux City. At one p. m. the passen-
ger arrived, and johnny Weber's bronzed
faco greeted the crowd at the depot, who
felt like giving him three times three and a

get here. Then the mail and express
