The object of these Institutes is TO pre-
pare moio Thoroughly for our work, and
every teacher should avail himself Of
these opportunities. The betterment o:
our school system demands, all the

amply paid tor each day spent in actual
Institute work. Form ourselves into a
local Reading Circle l., start: and ii you
can procure few copies of eacn OF the
following works. and digest Il EN- as rap

espeeiai pains to induce pupils and others
to aid them in Identifying the school

trouble at the Tate plantation had ended,
and that the striking negro Knights OF La
Dor had become pacfied and would return
to work, their master workman having so
There seems to be new condition of af-
fairs and many believe that this county is
on the verge of one of the bloOdiest race
conflicts that has occurred since
the war. Intelligence has arrived
from the neighborlood of the late
trouble that the striking negroes re-
inforced by many sympathizers from the
surrounding farms and plantations, num-
bering fully 1000 in all, have made COM
plete preparations for general uprising
some time to-day or tomorrow. They are
fully armed. They will attempt to redress
their wrongs and grievances by directing
their attention first to Sheriff Worthen, who
recently subdued the strikers. They will
next advance OH the farmers with the in
tCiittOu VI UuiHIiS liOk ClUpS, Uotno oiu
houses; others who have incurred the
enmity of the negroes will be visited rand
treated in like manner. The negroes have
been openly buying arms and ammunition
within the past few days and state that il
they are opposed in their campaign
of revenge they will be freely used.
Sheriff WOrthen called public meeting last
night and stated these facts, at the same
time requesting those who were willing to
join his posse to hand him their names.
About 100 men responded and were sworn
in as special deputies. At the first intima-
ton of an outbreak among the blacks the
posse will proceed to the scene of trouble
and attempt to quell the disturbance. The
Governor has been called upon to order out
the militia, but has refused to do so until
some actual trouble shall have occurred.
Some of the farmers in the vicinity of the
Tate plantation have prepared to resist the
negroes, while others have removed their
families and valuables to places of safety.
The developments of to-day are anxiOusly
awaited

the Eleventh infantry, to be Major and
Assistant Adjutant General in the place
of Colonel Benjamin, the son-in-law of
Hamilton Fish, who died not long ago.
1t was fully expected Lieutenant
Greedy, the Arctic explorer, would get

for it by many prominent scientific
men as well as politicians, Early
in the session a bill was proposed to
place Greedy upon the retired list with
the rank of Colonel, but he protested
against being shelved in this manner,
and preferred a lower rank and smaller
pay with active duty.

SANGUINE reports sent in by the
Mexican officials regarding the end of
the Yaqui war were thought to be pre-
mature at Tombstone, Arr. Although
many sub-chiefs have given in, Cajane
still remains at large, defiant as ever.
Several parties of travellers passing
through the Yaqui country recently
have been attacked. Late advices from
Sonora state that Cajane has issued a
proclamation declaring all the Yaquis
who do not come to his support by a
certain date will be hanged.
