The entertainment given by the North
colt Concert Combination in Moore's Mus
ic Hall was of character which it is
rarely the privilege of Bridgeton au-
dienee to hear. Those who did not attend
missed the best musical entertainment of
the season. 1t is true that it was not so
operate as some other entertainments Of
the kind, but il was all the more enjoy
able on that account. The programme
was made up of familiar selections, which
were admirably rendered. Comparisons
are always odious, but if we compare this
concert with some others given in Bridge

comparison.-Ch Chronicle. Master Bertie

ways be good reason to believe when
a high position is rendered to man
that it will be accepted, or it should
not be rendered. In this case, from
the known intimacy that existed be-
tween the President and the ex-Sena
tor, the public had a right to expect
that the latter's views were known to
the appointing power, and hence, there
is disappointment, nearing disgust, at
the final result of the affair. The eff
fort has not improved the ex-senator
in public estimation, nor has it i'm
proved the position of the President
with the people. Trifing in high po-
sitions, with public Offices. for the
benefit of one man or another, is never
satisfactory to the masses.
The Chicago Tribune: If the Presi-
dent did not nominate Conkling in
ignorance whether he would accept OF
not, then it was with the knowledge
that Conkling would decline in case he
was nominated and confirmed. This
hypothesis reflects severely upon both
Arthur and Conkling. A seat on the
Supreme bench of the nation is not q
thing to be hawked about to pay par
tisan obligations.

1t seems by statements from the ma.
tional capital that there is an unfavor.
able change in the internal revenue
receipts. In the first four months OF
the current fiscal year there was a
monthly increase in the receipts rang
Ing from $l,01S,725 in July to So, 522, 495
In October. Since the latter month
there has been perceptible falling
off in the receipts. The increase in
November, 1881, as compared with the
same month in 1880, was only $6sS, 500.
In December the increase was only
$S02,711; in January, 1865, 1925, and in
February there was an increase in the
receipts as compared with those of
1881 amounting to $274,650. This is
the first decrease in the receipts since
the agitation of reduction in the to-
bacco tax, two years ago. The de-
crease is thought to be wholly attribu-
table to the unsettled question of taxa
ton, and unless speedy action on the
subject Is taken by Congress there is
reason to fear that a greater decrease
may occur in the near future. Madi-

WHERE SHALL I PUT THE
APOSTROPHE?

Few things are SO simple as the for
nation of the possessive case in Eng
lish; yet pupils often make mistakes
by putting an apostrcphe in the wrong
place. Do you not consider your
scholar somewhat exceptional who
never writes of the Ladies' Sewing
Society,"" or of oxens' hoofs?" There
is no reason for confusion here, and a
simple rule will apply in all cases both
for the singular and plural.
|, Before this rule can be practically
applied it is. of course, necessary that
your pupil have clear understanding
of the force of the possessive case.
He must understand the meaning of
the word "possess" as clearly as that
of the simpler word Gown" He must
understand that the possessive case is
that form of name which denotes
that person or thing named owns
something. Observe that mistakes
are seldom made regarding the addi-
ton of the letter s. At least nine out
of ten errors are merely in the posi-
ton of the apostrophe.
My rule, then, shall be confined to
that one point, and for that will be
found invariably true. 1t is this:
Put an apostrophe after the name of
the oaoner or otO1leTs. Let us test this
by few examples. Suppose your pu-
pill has written "oxens hoofs," and
hesitates whether to put the apos-
trophe after the n or the S. You will
properly ask him to complete the fol-
lowing sentence: "The hoofs belong
to the" When he replies, as he
must, "oxen," tell him, Then put
your apostrophe after the word oxen"
If he is slow and does not catch the
thought, you will put your hand over
g and show him that what is left in
sight, "oxen, " names the animals that
own the hoofs.
Notice In the following examples,
which usually come under three or
four separate rules, that in all cases
the position of the apostrophe is deter
mined as above, at glance:
Mems shoes.
Mans head.

NOTES.

Some time ago the Superintendent
received from Hon. w. S. Maxwell
about twenty maps of Wisconsin which
were prepared by the Railroad Com.
missioner. The Superintendent has
left them in districts where he found
no map Of Wisconsin in the school
house. Those who received them may
thank Mr.. Maxwell.
The school at the Brass Ball closed
Thursday, and on that evening the pu-
pills gave an old-time exhibition. The
exercises consisted of songs, readings,
recitations, dialogues, tableaux, and
the reading of newspaper written by
the pupils, which contained some well
written articles and several good hits.
The exhibition rejected credit upon
the pupils and their teacher, Miss Mag
gle Wilson. They have had five
months good school, and it was proper
to close up by having a good time.
The people showed their appreciation
by filling the house jam full.
We understand that Mr.. A. S. Car
penter who has taught in the county
for a number of years, will go to Da-
kotah this spring and stay there until
he has proved up" on some land
which he located two years ago.
Mr.. J. H. Petrie, one of our old-time
teschers goes back to Dakotah this
spring. Mr.. w. J. Barnes will also
pay that embryo state a flying visit,
but will come back to WELD the birch
in the Hollenbeck school in the sum-
mer.
BY the way, what is the correct SPELL
ing of that word? Is it Dakotah, Da-
cotah, Dakota, or Dacota? Webster
spells it Dakotah, but many of our
newspapers spell it Dakota.
The County Superintendent will

purpose of visiting the State Univer-
sity and helping Reyes and Price re-

THE PRESS ON COMBINES
DECLINATION.

The Herold German: The whole
affair of the (Conkling's) nomination
has the look of having been designed
to show the country that the Senate of
the United States judges more favor
ably of the proud and naughty New
York ex-senator than do the people.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press: It is not
charitable nor reasonable to accept
that theory of Mr.. Conkling's nomina-
ton to the Supreme court, which makes
the President party to a plot to reha-
bilitate his political reputation. Presi-
dent Arthur has never shown a dispo-
sition to violate the decencies of his
office, and Mr.. Conkling has a habit of
surprising his most intimate friends,
1t is probable that the tender was
made in good faith, though without
consulting the recipient, or without
caring much what he did with it. The
offer was made to pay a political debt.
and Mr.. Arthur probably segards the
debt as paid.
The Madison Journal: We have
never believed in nominations as a
compliment, merely. There will al.

To the Editor of the Ltoing Church
Chicago, Ill.,:
Will you allow the following card
personal to myself, to appear in YOU
widely circulated paper?
There was published in the Roches'
ter Democrat and Chronicle of the 31st
of Dec. last, a statement made by J. B
Henion, M. D., narraring how he had
been cured of Bright's disease of the
kidneys, almost in it's last stages, by
the use of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. I was referred to in that
statement as having recommended
and urged DIR. Henion to try the rem
edy, which he did, and was cured.
Now the republishing Of his state
ment in many Of the leading journals
of the day has been the cause of an in
cessant flow of letters to me making
many inquiries, but chiefly whether
the statement is true, or mere adVer-
Using dodge, etc., etc.
I beg, therefore, to anticipate any
further inquiries and save time and
labor, and some postage, by saying that
the statement Of DR.. Henion is true, so
far as it concerns myself, and believe
it to be true in all other respects. He
is a parishioner of mine and visited
him in his sickness. I urged him to
take the medicine and would dO the
same again to any one who was tioub-
led with a disease of the kidneys and
liver. ISRAEL FooTE Cd. d.
