THE ENCAMPMENT.

The general verdict is that the encamp-
ment which terminated on Saturday last,
was one of the most successful ever held
In the state. Those competent to judge
| pronounce the battalion drills something
deserving the highest praise when it is
considered that the men have only prac
tice four days in each year. On Friday
the regiment was put through new and
very difficult movements but executed
them in most praiseworthy manner
Visitors to the camp found it difficult to
understand why sentries should be so
strict in carrying out orders. But the
encampment was school for the boys,
| not means of amusement for the pso-
pie, and it was highly proper that mill
tary strictness should be observed.
Thursday, Governor Rusk with his staff
arrived. For the time the camp ground
was accessible to all without being ques-
toned by the sentries. and the camp was
overrun The boys went Through the
movements" while "Jerry" peered ont
from beneath tall white hat, a head
gear to which he is quite partial. An
immense crowd was in attendance and
bus drivers felt they were living in
land of plenty. The movements of the
soldiers had fascination for people of
leisure to the last, and at no time was
there battalion drill or dress parade
without a great number of spectators.
The Oshkosh boys were bent on having
a good time" and as consequence most
of them became acquainted with the in
terror of the guard house. Some of the
boys were little cloud" when down
town nights, but no more SO than young
fellows generally are when away from
home and encouraged by numbers to-
gether with the incentive of the open
admiration of some foolish girls. 4 few
ladies who found it necessary to go home
after dark received some pert remarks,
but the boys quickly recognized that
these ladies were not out because of adj
miration for the soldiers and no attempt
was made at forming acquaintance. On
the whole they behaved themselves quite
well and the people have no unkind re-
membrance of the encampment.
On Friday evening the Fond du Lac
company gave a concert on the grounds.
platform was extemporized and large
number of gentlemen and ladies from
the city were present. The concert is
spoken very highly of, and indeed some
go SO far as to say it was far better than
most concerts extensively advertised and
requiring liberal fee for admission
The Fond du Lac boys are said to be an
unusually fine lot of young fellows.
On Saturday the boys broke camp,
strapped their knapsacks on their backs
and left. Col. King remained over until
Monday.
The home companies are deserving
great praise for the full preparation they
made, whereby everything moved OF
without "hitch." They were models
of propriety during the whole time and
the officers were kindly attentive to all
visitors, though their courtesy was
severely taxed at times because of the
frequent drafts made upon it.

LARGE SALES IN DULL TIMES.
Our reporter was surprised to learn
from member Of the Rand & Roemer
Hardware Co., that their spring trade
had been largely in excess OF that of last
year-surprised because so much has
been heard in this vicinity about ''dull
mes" largely accounted for by the low
prices paid for farm produce upon which
SO much of the trade of this city depends.
Fdrther inquiry elected the fact that the
Increased sales were not so much on &C
count of increased consumption, but
that the extremely low prices at which
goods had been sold was the inducement
to purchase. To illustrate this a few
sample quotations are given, and any
one at all acquainted with the trade will
readily see that they ere ''away down."

was assured that all other articles of their
immense stock were offered at proportion
ately low prices. Such figures are bound
to make sales, and the Rand & Roemer

demands for goods at those prices, and
shrewd buyers will avail themselves of
the opportunity.

THE people of this state will have an

The Teachers Institute opens on
Monday next at 10 A. NJ. 1t is expected
that the teachers of graded schools will
improve the opportunity to learn some
thing of common school work which is
based upon conditions relating to the
child himself. There is no difference as to
principles of teaching whether teacher
is in q mixed or graded school, and it is
a mistake to assume that no good can be
received at an Institute where country
school work is the chief consideration.
Teachers should each bring grammar,
a course of instruction and constitution.
LAST winter some teachers so far for
got themselves as to indulge so freely in
liquor as to become intoxicated frequent
ly. Though no complaints were made
by the patrons of the schools taught by
these teachers, still it is improper that
such persons be allowed to have the
guidance of children. In all such cases
which have come to the notice of the
superintendent, certificates will be re-
fused unless such teachers bring certi-
fcate of character from the school board
of the district in which they last taught,
or otherwise give satisfactory evidence
that they were wronged by rumors.
