The School Exhibitions.

loo much cannot be SAID In praise
of the exercises held at the Opera
house last week. Such exercises by
school children and young people
generally are always productive of
good results. Chief among the
good results produced is the stimu-
lation of an enthusiasm for literary
work, which is very necessary to the
attainment of good scholarship. 1t
was gratifying to see So large an at
tendance each evening, as the pres
ence of so many of our people be-
spoke a good will for the schools and
was q great encouragement to the
pupils and also to the conductors of
the entertainments. The society of
graduates gave good exhibition on
Thursday evening, which not only re-
Elected credit upon the several men,
bers taking part, but also showed
well for the high school by calling
attention to the fact that its alumni
keep up a good organization and
arc still devotedly attached to the
school from which they graduated.
The school exhibitions proper,
which were held on Friday and Sat
urday evenings We're well attended,
and there is only one opinion in re-
gard to them, and that is that they
were excellent in character and well
carried out. Although Mr.. Terry is
not much given to public exhibit
tons, the chief characteristic of the
work in our public schools while
they have been under his supervi-
sion, which is his thoroughness. was
apparent in these entertainments
and we have faith to believe that his
quiet, hard work for the past few
years will have good effect for s
long time to come.
Thanks are due to the members O
the Cornet band and the several 9th
er persons who by their musica
powers aided greatly in making al
three entertainments pass off mos
pleasantly.

DAVID MORRISON.
The funeral of David Morrison, an
old resident of Iowa county, who
died last week at Concord, Morgan
county, ILL.,, took place at Linden on
Friday last. The services were con-
Quoted by the Masonic fraternity but
owing to the short notice given the
attendance was not as large as it
would otherwise have been. De-
ceased was about seventy-fve years
Of age. He came to Wisconsin in
1882, and settled at Platteville, where
he engaged in mining. He remain
ed there only short time, soon af-
ter removing to Linden, and with
the exception of a few years spent in
the mines Of California he made
Linden his home until the time of
his death. He went to California in
1858 and came back in 1857. He
engaged extensively in mining and
was quite successful. In his young
err days he was an exceptionally
strong and robust man but for sew
eral years past he has been a sufferer
from rheumatism, contracted while
working in the mines, and by an ac-
tive live and consequent exposure in
a new country. He had been living
for the past few months with rela-
tives at Concord, who nursed him
and administered to his wants, max
ing his last days as pleasant as pos
sible. He was well known and
highly respected throughout this
section, and hosts of friends mourn
his loss.

The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-05-18

What is the explanation of this anom-
alous state of things? The answer is,
that the most popular forms OF govern
ment engonder the worst forms of poll
ties, and favor and foster states Of mind
that exclude all considerations of sci
entifc nature. This may be an unpal
atable conclusion, but unpalatable con-
illusions are often true. We have to
face the disagreeable fact that il is un-
der the most liberal and perfected polit-
ical institutions, 50 called, that the in
calculable element of personal caprice
in political affairs comes into greatest
asccndency. We speak of kingly rule
as the type of personal government, but
personal government is only seen in its
highest power and effect where each
citizen has become a sovereign. 1t is
only where the self-seeking of the sin
gle monarch is multiplied by millions
in nation of potential oflice-holders,
that the scltishness of personal politics
rises to its maximum influence. 1t is
only in country where everybody is
eligible to office, where the incentives
to office-seeking are universal, where
politics has become such a national pas
sion that the whole scheme of public
education is subordinated to it, that
personal aspirations and the interests
of selfish ambition will dominate unre-
stricted in the management of public af-
fairs. And it is undeniable that poll
tics with us is coming to be more and
more business, II vocation to be pur-
sued for profit and emolument by sue
cessful oiiice-sceking. Under such u
system the winning politician will not
be the man of intelligence, elaboration,
and principle, but the man skilled in all
the low arts which will insure political
success, He will be the shrewdcst OPP
orator of the partisan mob, Nothing is
more notorious than that under the
working of our popular political insti.
tutions, the best men go to the wall and
the worst men come to the front, BY
the very conditions of the case, it is the
crafty operators, the long-headed man
ayers, caucus manipulators, party in
trguers and brazen, interchangeable dem
agogues, who secure the offices. Pop

Making Maoaroni,

On the middle of the floor was large
crock of u sticky material, like paste.
From this the macaroni was being fash
Toned. The process in use was primitive
and tedious, but Scalchi has not capital
and cannot buy machinery. A work
man seized handful of the paste, on
which he left visible finger marks, and
commenced to beat it about with two
little sticks, Then a child, apparently
not more than eighteen inches long, who
looked like round ball, caught hold of
small pair of bellows and began
working them for dear life. The air
pumped by the bellows had passed
through the stove and was hot Next
the artist began TO build his stick OF
macaroni lengthways from the mouth
Of the tube, and MS the hot air touched
it it became hard enough to retain the
necessary shape, The pastry pipe had,
OF course, to be constantly nodded by
the hands TO prevent its blowing out
into all sorts Of sizes and figures. The
process resulted in bundles of unequal
and badly-shaped macaroni tubes,
such as are never seen in groceries. 1t
was impossible TO find out the exact
composition of the paste, but it appear
ed to be made of coarse flour, with n
mixture Of some coarse meal. A pan
of muddy-lookirg water, in which pro-
portion of gum arabic had been mingled,
was what the meal was moistened with.
Scalchi was unable to explain the vir-
tues of the different articles or describe
them by name, but he danced around
and grinned as if exceedingly pleased
with his own ingenuity, every now and
then stopping TO give playful knock
with the broom handle to his associates
or break over their head any shamefully
''botched" pipe Of his national food.
in the midst of the work, while the
leader Of everything was putting ashes,
stale potatoes and other rubbish in the
stove, instead Of coal, there was re-
sounding yell and the child who manip-
most into the paste. For a happy,
solitary moment the boy stood perpen-
dicular, wrong side up, in the heavy
mass, then he topplcd over, upsetting
everything on the floor. Scalchi lost
his self possession for second, but was
soon himself again. The small boy sat
in the middle of the arena with eyes,
mouth, ears and face plastered with
dough. The thick paste travelled slowly
but surely over the grimy boards Seal.
chi uttered an immortal yell, waved his
broomstick, righted the crock and in a
minute every living thing in the room
except the reporter and the boy, wa,
scooping up the paste and tossing il
into the earthcn vessel. The stuff which
adhered to the infant was carefully
scraped off and thrown in with the rest
