A very cg'y situation exis's in
nottb oentral Minnesota about Leech
Like. From seme real or fancied
grievance the Indian tribe known as
the Pillagers have become hostile.
Gen. Bacon, with the small force of
100 men crossed over the lb ke on
the 5th. They reconnoitred the
surroundings and found no enemy,
but as they were get i g ready to
make coffee for the dinner meul
they were fired upon. Quickly they
were in righting trim and toe battle
raged. Four of the troops were
killed and nii,e wounded.
Many dispatches have come in
later bringing less of detail than
fearful suspicion that Gen. Baoon
and all his men have fallen victims
to a massacre only second to the
Ouster slaughter.
It is feared that much t.'ouble is
on hand.

GRADED SCHOOL NOTE I
Aa 1'reuared By Onranperlntvnd.nt
The Keelta Ion and the Menoiil In
eeaillve Tolca at ine Tnai'liera
mretlng-.
Teacher's meetings are held rec;u
larly at four o'clock every Monday
evening at the central building.
At tbese meetings topioa the most
practical and helpful for teachers
are discussed.
One of these that was thoroughly
discussed wai the
Recitation.
The recitation is the teacher's
greatest opportunity for effecting the
real work of the school Here it is
that the teacher's whole power
should be concentrated.
He should not only be master of
tbe subject to be taught but be
should also be master of tbe art of
teaching and distinguish well be.
twein teaching, testing, drilling, in
structing and reciting. Although
all of these are included under the
one head, "recitation," there is a
great difference between any two of
them .
T he good recitation is stimulat
ing, suggnstive, interesting, anima'ed
and v.ried. It is not too long, has
a di finite obj et in view, is for the
pupil, begins and closes promptly,
tyid aims to m ister subjecte and not
paf b.
The good teacher will assign les
sons carefully, will show pnpils how
to study, will insist upon correct and
conoite txpression, will questi n
skillfully, will require pupils to
stand while reciting, and will review
frequently.
She will not t 1 k too much, wili
use topical methods mostly, will not
allow "prompting," will illustrate
fnely, will praise and enoourage
.tnch, and will scold Bnd find fault
but little.
Closely related to tbe recitation
and hardly sreond in Importance is
the subject of
fcHooL Incentives.
The word incentive means to arouse
to t ffort ; to cause to study.
'1 he good teacher is not only Bkill.
ful in the use of device and meth
ods of awakening interest, but be
also employs the best incentives far
getting work ont of his pupils
He strives to create among his
pupils a desire to be useful, a desire
for advancement, a desire for compe
tence, a desire to do right because it
is right. Ati soon as po(sib!e he ap
peals to conscience and to the BeU4e
of duty. lie shows the p!e. eure of
acquiring knowledge, the apprecii
tion of self, of parent and of teaoher.
From hiotory, biography and the
world around, he cites worthy ex
amples and tries to create in bis
classes a desire aud a longing to do
something and be something in the
world. Tae beBt incentives to study
are tbosp tha'jrcach all the pupils of
the echool instead of a few. They
are permanent in their effect. Tbej
appeal to the higher and better na
ture of the child, and hence tend to
create worthy citizens and noble
characters.
The worst incentives are tb ee
that appeal to fear and that tend to
develop iudifferenoe, feifhhneas, ego
tism, greed, deceit, cheating, and a
disregard for truth and for the
rights of others.
While many things may be mid
in favor of przes as incentives, still
they are not the best incentives.
Prizes are apt to stimulate only a
few, to engender a spirit of rivalry,
to lead to cheating and lyin?, to die
courage the dull and plodding onef
to make teachers partial and parents
fault' fiuding, to reward talent and
sucoeis rather than true worth and
honest t ffort, and finally to lead to
seltidh character.
The real work of the teacher is by
means of tbe recitation to awaken
intellect, by means of bis moral ln
11 icncu to aronse the sendbilitiep,
ud by means of proper incentives
to move tbe will.
Tbis leads ua up to the subject
for consideration at cur next teach

A DARK SCHEME.
W IlinlliKlou Neirro a Try to Buy Fire
Anna From the odell Hardware Co,
Their Ncliemtt Detected.
From the Ilaleigh News and
Observer we notice that noe-roes
at Wilmington, who Lave boon
corresponding in regard to buying
a quantity of rifles from tbe Odell
Hardware .Co., in Greensboro,
have boon detected in their dark
scheme. It is supposed that the
negroes are preparing to be armed
on election day. One reason to be
lieve there in something dark like
thia behind is the fact that tbe
negro who was doing the coires-
ponding for the arms is the
chairman of the Republican
executive committee of that coun
ty. In the letter, a fao simile of
which appears in that paper, he
aBks for prices of twelye 38-calibre
guus with the privilege of 25, six
teen shooters, also twelve 32 and
.'18-calibre guns.

Mississippi and Louisiana are al
most panic stricken with yellow

now business in Mississippi especial

One Mr. Samuel Pate, a Republi
can, from Martin county, having
heard and seen so much in the
newspapers regarding tbe condition
of Craven county openly anuonnced
that he would like to go to Craven
county, and if it was half so bad as
made out be would stump the coun
ty in behalf of the Democratic par
ty. And those stalwart Democrats
of Craven, hearing of the announce
ment niado by tbis Republican, ac
tually paid all of bis expenses to
make Craven a visit, and after he
bad visited and seen tbe true con
dition of tiling?, the Anglo-Saxon
blood and conscience was stirred
and he exclaimed that he will not
only stump the county, but the
whole State of good old North Car
olina in behalf of the white man
and his home. Part of Mr. Koonce's

Blair, a regular, said to be
of the Seventeenth, was shot
through the groin at El Caney
July 1st. Two wounded men
of the Seventy-first New York
fell beside him in worse shape
than he. They could not
move. lie could a little.
A Spanish sharpshooter on
their right had the range of
them as they lay there, their
comrades having pushed on.
Although down, the three men
were his target.
"Spit!" and one of ths bul
lets cut a lock of hair from
Blair's forehead.
' Spit!" again, and one of
the New Yorkers winced as
his shoulder was cut. .
Blair for a time could not
locate the fellow, but finally
discovered him three hundred
yards distant up a tree. He
was incautious and displayed
himself in taking aim. Blair
had his gun beside him, and
with one shot brought him
down.
Then, wounded in the groin
as lie was, he crawled nine
hundred feet to his enemy
to get his canteen of water,
and nine hundred feet back,
not touching it himself, and
pouring it down the throats of
the two New Yorkers.
He died holding the drink
to the lips of one of them.
Llis only renark as to his
journey vaa:
"I'm a regular. You fellows
have homes."
One of the New Yorkers
survived to return home and
tell the story of this hero's
end. Chicago TimesIIerald.

is cntbrtunate and quite a source
of solicitude for the afflicted that
the asylninns and the connty home

to wreok the Southern train between
A.8heboro aud High Point by placing
oroBB-ties and large rocks on tbe
rails at a point near Sophia. The
obstruction was discovered by the
engineer and the train was stopped
before runnir g into tbe obstruction.
The parties who made the attempt
