present and sang Among others

first flush of it's great popularity.
With the composer at the piano the
first stapza went with no strange or
unusual occurrence, but while Tosti
was playing the soft interlude to the
second stanza, the king turned to one
of his party with some remark. and
his sonorous bass sounded out sharply
through the room against the soft
harp-llke chords of the piano
With exquisite daring Miss Nielsen
looked straight at his majesty and be-
gan the line: "Hush-then an omi.
nous pause It's a voice!" BY this
time the royal listener was all atten.
ton and looking straight into pair
of eyes dancing with Unsurpassed
merriment. There was a moment OF
suspense, when the king saved the
Joke by starting the laugh in which
the company joined. The royal guest
took his gentle reprimand with true
gallantry Joe Mitchell Chapple In

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY c. w. MEIS NEsT.)

There are but few schools that have
not engaged teacher for next year.
The spirit that should prevail exists as
in the past, and uhe school that wishes
to maintain its standard has not hesit-
ated in securing good experienced
teacher A few schools still have the
eight month term. This is too short a
term. The boys and girls are out of
school as much as they are in school,
especially should they be sick or other
wise remain out during the year. 1t is
hoped that next year the few remain
ing schools 40 or l2) will lengthen
their term. 1t is impossible for these
schools to do in eight months what
other schools are doing in nine months.
by losing month every year in nine
years they loose whole year. Be-
sides it is more likely that the eight
month pupils forget more during vaca-
tion and that it takes longer and more
review work in the fall to bring them
to the point where they were when
they left school in the spring.

The Training School held its gradu-
ating exercises last night. The first
part Of the program which consisted OF
Lyric dramatization of a Greek ma
ture myth, was probably the prettiest
production ever given by the school.
The second part of the program con
sisted Of an address by Prof w. f..
Cheeyer Of Milwaukee. Mr.. Cheever
opened by addressing t1e graduates as
Gods and Goddesses and nymphs, and
the audience as mortals. He com
'nented on the play and referred TO the
fact that Manitowoc ought TO have a
Training School building of It's own
Mr. Cheever spoke Of the boys and
girls of parents with hut moderate
means and compared them with the
rich boys and girls. He said that he
would unhesitatingly say that the
former, in most instances, would make
the better citizen.
Mr.. Cheeyer Landed the continuation

phatically Of the conditions in Milwau.
kee, where 3200 boys and girls between

for five byurs week.
"Thc present school Is much differ

Cneever. Our present tendency il
more towards the practical than ever
before, and the boy and girl must learn
to perform the important home duties
before tho present day will recognz,
them as well educated
Mr. Cheeyer also briefly referred tC
the county school conditions In some
communities. He said that the olc

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Monday evening. Frazier and
Schroeder were absent.
Residents on north Sth street peti-
toned for some scheme to divert some
of the heavy traffic from that street.
1t was referred and the council count

"advisability" of paving north Sth
street to the city limits, south Sth to

18th.
George Schweitzer deposited 300 for
perpetual care of cemetery lot pursl,.
ant to statute.
A resolution TO offer $1,000 for the
Erase acre lot adjoining the cemetery
on the north was referred. This is an
old project, the.intention of which is
to make street east and west along
the northern boundery of Evergreen.
Thoreson suggested laying sewers
and water mains in the same trench TO
save expenses. The matter will come
up again.
Green street frorI 10th to l4th and
9th and Lake from Marshall to Hamil-
ton were ordered improved, that is,
graded, graveled and curbed. The
latter was held up from the last meet
ing to change the phraseology and
avoid an apparant ambiguity.
S3 applications for saloon license

same total as last year.

SAD ACCIDENTAL young corre-
spondent ofthe Pilot in Gibson, informs
us that on Monday, the Sth inst, a Mr..
Thompson, a Norwegian resident OF
that town, left his house in the morn
ing for the purpose of peeling bark,
and was found at half past eleven
O'Clock by his little son, sitting on a
log with cash in his head, apparent
ly made with an axe. He was carried
home insensible and died about two
O'Clock of the same day. 1t is supposed
that the axe came in contact with u

New York, June 10,

New York, June l5, 1863.
The Times says editorially that in
formation reached that city yesterday,
from Washington, that Lees army,
10000 strong, was on this side the Rap
pahannock marching northward, and
Hooker's army was fastening forth to
prevent the rebel advance.
Lee, before the close of last week
crossed by the fords above Fredcricks-
burg, and was apparently pushing for
the Orange & Alexandria railroad.
BY Friday Hooker's whole army was
on the northward march, following
that day line between Warrenton
and Catletts stations.
Lee has been joined by large de-
tachments from North Carolina and
the Blackwater, and all his cavalry
have been massed on the north fork of
the Rappahannock.
Longstreet's corps lately at Culpep-
per! has doubtless been joined to Lees
army.
Hooker's force cannot be inferior to
Lees as our army has recently been
heavily reinforced from Nansemond,
the Peninsula and elsewhere.
No official or semi-official indications
of these movements have been receiv-
ed from Washington, and the Times
says these accounts were obtained from
other sources, but there seems to be an
agreement that our army and that of
the rebels are both on the move, and
so closely together they can hardly
avoid collision soon.

Every country school in the state of
Wisconsin has a small library of good
books. A number of years ago law
was enacted providing that Ten cents
for each child of school age was to be
withheld from the State Aid to each
district and that this money should be
used for the purchase Of library books
AS a result the children III the country
schools have an assortment of good H.
brary books. Every year finds the
school library more used. These IL
braries add much ID the efficiency of
the school WORK and give the children
many educational advantages not en-
joyed before the law went into effect
There are not far from n million vol
umes in Wisconsin rural school librar-
les, costing approximately half Il mil
lion dollars.
