The appearance of the Mendelssohn club with Ra.
fael Josefy, the renowned pianist the central FIG
in the concert performance, to be given at the
Opera house tomorrow night, promises to be the
musical event of the season. The sale of seats is al
ready large and every sitting in the house will doubt
less be sold by tomorrow morning.
Everything, in fact, indicates most successful
and charming ent. rtainment.
The claims of the club to artistic excellence have
already been established, and of Joseffys playing
the NeE York Herald speaks as follows:
'The rendition Of Her Joseffy In his solos were
simply marvellous. Probably mere than ser before
he displayed his wonderful command over the
piano and drew from it language such as has

an OBJECTIONABLE APPOINTMENT

Mr.. Conkling's nomination to the po-
sition of Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, is I'M
qucstionably the most important and at
the same time most significant act Of
President Arthur's administration. 1t is
important because of the anoma-
lous position Mr.. Conkling occu-
pies in the politics of the country and of
the exalted character of the position he
has been chosen to fill. His resigna-
ton as a Senator from New
York, and the startling and
tragic events which followed so closely
in the wake of his cratic and indiscreet
course, had led the people of the country
generally to believe him to be unavailable
for recognition at the hands of the present
administration. Of all the men whose
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the appointment, Mr.. Conkling's
was undoubtedly the most Objectionable
to the great body of the Amerl-
can people. He was not only
looked upon as having been prominently
concerned in the events which led to the
tragedy of July I'd; but the remorseless
and relentless impersonation of the OPP
position and hatred to all that pertained
to President Garfeld's administration and
its surviving friends and representatives.
When he appealed his case from before
President Garfield to the politicians court
of dernier ressort-the people---he not
only risked all, but lost all, and his defeat
was emphasized by the elevation of an
other to the position of honor and trust
he had held for so many years as one OF
the representatives of the Empire State
in the upper branch of the Congress of
the United States.
In taking him from the private walks
of life, where he was consigned by the
people of his state, and elevatlng
him to a position on the Supreme court
bench, the President has not only shown
his contempt for the people of New
York, but he has given fair notice to ali
concerned, that his administration will
be conducted in the interest of the Stall
warts and all that the third
term implies. If the surviving
members of President Garfeld's cabinet
ever had any doubts as to their relations
toward the present administration, the
temperance of Mr.. Conkling, in official
position, with commission in his pocket
signed by President Arthur should serve
to dispel them.
AS regards Mr. Conkling's quail
fications to discharge the duties OF
the position, there does not seem to
be much ground for adverse criticism Of
the Presidents selection. Mr.. Conkling,
it is true, is not a trained and experienced
constitutional lawyer, yet he is immeas.
urably the superior in every respect Of
several of the judges who have been ap-
pointed since the advent of the Republi-
can party into power.

Over the BluT--Narrow Escape from Deaf b

Over tho Bluf--Narrow Escape from Deaf b
At about half past O'Clock this morning
Officer Gibbons was informed that man had
fallen over the bluff between Conley's varieties
and elevator A. Upon investigation the Off
Ger found man Ia an unconscious condition
wedged in between some timbers and bank,
about twenty or twenty-five feet below the
platform leading into the varieties. Securing
as sistance the man was released
from his position and lifted up to the street.
Here Investigation showed no bones were
broken, and in short time the man was able
to stand up and move around. He refused to
give any information as to his identity. be-
yond the assertion that he lived near the Har
vester works, and that he had horse and
buggy In Wabashaw street livery. Officer
Gibbons accompanied the man to the stable,
where he left him apparently all right,
It is supposed the man had been drinking
during the evening, and that he sat down on
the edge of the Varieties platform, and falling
into doze. lost his balance and fell of.
Fortunately his fall was stopped by the tim
bers before mentioned. Had he not have been
thus stopped he would have had an unob-
structed fall of at least 80 feet to the level of
the railroad tracks, and would, withoutdoubt,
have been instantly killed.

Celebrating the Birthday of the Veteran
Poet.

Celebrating the Birthday of the Veteran
Poet.
Yesterday was observed at the public schools
by the celebration of tbs anniversary of the
birthday of the poet, Longfellow. The exer-
cises were very beautiful and appropriate
concentrating in most beftting manner
the natal day of Americas greatest and most
honored bard. Special exercises were arranged
at all the schools and the interesting pro-
grammes were rendered in the presence oil
large numbers of visitors.
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The programme at the High school was
specially interesting. The assembly room
was tastefully decorated, the rostrum bearing
large and handsome engraving of the poet
enwreathed with ivy and resting on an easel
The exercises opened by greeting in which
the speaker very gracefully addressed the pic
ture bearing to the poet the wishes of the
turns of the day.
Next followed very pleasant sketch of
Longfellow's life and home.
Supplemented by beautiful recitation "The
Old Clock on the Stairs" Then came "Mr.
Longfellow as Everybody's Poet in which
the speaker said if anyone were to be chosen
Americas Laureate Longfe.low, would wear
the bays.
Next collection Of miscellaneous poems
which were exQuisitely rendered.
Following these, a criticism Of Hyperion, u
with extracts admirably given.
Then review of the "Golden Legend" with
most excellent performance of Act l.
scene /.
The music was all selected from Mr.. Long
fellows songs and was very pleasing.
An unusually high degree of culture
marked many of the speakers in addressing g
public audience
Indeed the entire programme showed finish
in this respect.
Over hundred citizens were present
among whom several clergymen and a large
number of the board of education we're most
prominent.
We came away feeling with many others
that indeed our High school is rapidly ad
vancing, and ere long St. Paul will have jus
reasons of pride In this institution hich is SC
bravely and earnestly working.

the contrary, are weak, and when sold are sold

Oats-The higher grades OF oats fit for seed
