The Radicals and extremely anxious
that the Democrats shall not make sup
port of the Convention party question,
but they are careful to insist that all
their own party shall vote against it.
Let a half dozen prominent Republi-
cans come out in favor of the Conven-
ton and urge their friends to vote for 1t
and we will then believe it is not a mat
ter of party politics, in so far as they
are concerned. We have had enough
preaching from Radical sources, and
would like, by way of variety, to see a
Republican practice what he exhorts
others to do.

NORTHCOrT AT BAY.

The Radical party in Harrison coun-
tyis not happy. An effort is being
made to break down General NORTH
COLT and the Clarksburg Telegraph, for
some purpose known only 10 the Initial
ed. The General don't take it very
kindly and comes back upon his assail.
ants in the following style.
1.-THE ostensible ground upon which
these enemies Of he Telegraph assail it,
is that the senior editor of this paper, at
the election last year, did not vote for
all the nominees, bnt voted for some.in.
dependent candidates, but the real
cause of complaint is that both the edi-
tors were Union soldiers in the late war,
and the paper has always advocated
The claims OF soldiers. 1t has been the
soldiers friend. 1t has not hesitated to
show its preference for those who
fought the battles Of the Union, over
those who staid at home and manifested
their loyalty by loud talk, and by shaw
ing the Government claims held by
poor wagoners and others at thirty
three and third per cent. discount
Both the editors of this paper have had
their loyalty and political orthodoxy
tried by Stronger test than ANYTHING
a RApuhiean Convention composed Of
a few packed delegates could present to
them. They have ever been loyal to
the Government Of the United States
and loyal to the best interests of West
Virginia, but not loyal to rings and
cliques who wish to control the Repub,
lican party in their own interest, and
decry every one as unsound who does
not fawn upon them like whipped
spaniel. If we were inclined to play
the dog, we would prefer baying the
moon to being such an abject canine.

THE AUGUST MONTHLIEs.

THE AUGUST MONTHLIES.
The monthly magazines for August
are at hand with their stores Of choice
literature, and present tables of con-
tents that afford a pleasant relief from
the squabbles of political strife and the
dreary daily routine Of crimes and
casualties that all the columns Of the
newspapers. The hasty glance we have
been permitted to bestow upon the
August magazines reveals nothing IN
anv Of them that is particularly start
ling or sensational, but in each OF them
there is something that will interest
every reader, and much that will amply
repay perusal.
The leading article in the Atlantic Is by
JOHN F1skK, and is devoted to an analysis
of the old popular superstition concerning
Werevolves and Swan Maidens. CLAIR
EscE KING contributes another interest
ing chapter concerning mountaineering
in Sierra Nevada, and Mr.. FIELDS pub
fishes in the Whispering Gallery mum
Der of pleasant private letters from
CHARLES DICKENS.
tScribner's Monthly has a very interest
ing illustrated article descriptive OF
Vassar Female College and the work
that is being done there. II. I. Tuck
ERMAN contributes a comic episode OF
Italian travel, entitled peter Crisp"
and Miss PUTNAM furnishes a graphic
sketch of the lives and appearance of
the French leaders who have figured
couspicuously in begreat events which
have transpired in France during the
past year.
The GALAXY is interesting as usual.
EDWARD CRAPsEY continues his revela-
tons concerning the Neither Side OF
New York, the present chapter being
devoted to Tenement Life and furnish
ing a description Of what is known as
"Sweeney's Shsmbles," where one hun
dred families are crammed into one
building, fifty by one hundred and fifty
feet square and five stories high. We
notice that the city authorities OF New
York have, since this publication,
ordered the place to be cleaned out and
put in better repair. aunt Fanny
furnishes a pleasant article about sigma
ture hunting, and presents fac SMILES
of the signatures Of the most prominent
literary men in the country.
Good Health contains leading arti-
Gle on Nursing as Profession and con-
tinues its instructive essays on the
means of preserving health.
Home and Health, a new monthly de-
voted to health and the home circle,
presents an excellent table Of contents
aud gives many valuable hints about
how to starve the doctors.
The University Monthly, published
at the low price Of one dollar per year,
at 155 and l57 Crosby street, New
York, is one of the best educational
journals that comes to our table. Every
number contains much interesting mat
ter for old and young.
In each OF the magazines noticed
above there is much OF interest and in
struction. Many OF the very best Of
our American writer's make these pub
locations the vehicle of their best
thought and the magazine thus affords
to the people, in cheap and convenient
form, the results Of literary culture and
taste. They are educating the public
mind, and the magazines themselves are
being improved in correspondence with
the improving literary lasts of their
readers.

upon which is built the whole editice OF
our Government. II the foundation IL
narrow, how can a liberal structure be
reared upon it? If the basis be weak
and unstable, will not ours be as the
house built upon the sands, that, when
the storms shall arise and the winds
blow, will be destroyed2 A Constitu-
ton to be adopted for endurance must
have the entire confidence, respect and
love of the people, and to gain these 1t
must come to the people recommended
by the wisdom, simplicity, comprehen-
siveness and liberality OF its plan. Such
a one will become embedded in the
peoples hearts, will not be overthrow
or shaken as often as new party comes
into power, and when the storm OF
party strife is at its height, sweeping
away in its wrath laws, officers and in
situations, you can point to such a Con-
stitution with comfortable assurance
and say, that anchor holds.
Now, to get such Constitution a
Convention is necessary. We must not
content ourselves with merely correcting
a few faults in the present hastily and
ill-constructed instrument. 1t is brlst-
ling all over with defects and should be
entirely discarded. The Convention
should frame a Constitution without
a1y regard to the present one, though,
o. course, many parts OF the present one
would be embraced in it. The people
want all these facts placed before them
logically and methodically. This can
not be and is not done by the desultory
criticisms now constantly appearing in
the papers, but must be done by regu-
lar and systematic series of articles
These should cover the whole plan,
should point out the defects in every
part of the present Constitution, and
should supplement its structures on this
instrument by showing explicitly the
improvements that may and probably
will be made by the new one. Were
this properly done, the people would
awake from their lethargy and show
themselves sufficiently alive to their in
terests. II.
mo person in the State is better quail
flied than the author Of the above COM
munication to write such a series OF
articles as he suggests. We hope to
hear from him again.-ED. REGISTER.

Ihe Lost CITY OF Boston.

graphed to this city yesterday:

Livingstone, the African traveller, de.
scribes an ingenious!method by which the
Africans obtain water in the desert: The
women tic o bunch Of grass to a reed about
two feet long, and insert 1t In q hole dug
as deep as the rms will reach. then ram
down the wet sand around it. Applying
the mouth 10 the free end of the
reed, they form a. vacuum In the grass be-
oeatb, in which the water collects, and In o
short time rises to the mou th. 1t will be
perceived that this simple, but truly philo.
s~ophieal and effectual met he'd might have
been applied In many cases in different
countries, where water was greatly needed
to the saving Of life. 1t seems wonderful
that it should have been now first known to
tha world, and that 1t should have been
habitually practiced in Africa probably for
centuries. 1t seems W orthy of being partic-
ularly noticed, that IL may no longer be
neglected lrom ignorance. 1t may be high
ly important to travellers in our deserts and
p~rairies, in some parts of which water is
known TO exist below the surface.
