County CongensaenA.

A correspondent Of the &uringten
Patriot suggests the following plan Of
holding county conventions, which It
strikes US is a good one. Can any one
suggest good objections to this plaB ?
e not we would he glad to see it tried
in our own county some time. Tiis
.gentleman's plan in brief is as follows
Let the committee call q mass cOnven-
ton of the Republicans in the county.
let each township be entitled to as
many votes in the convention as that
township cast for Garfield; If for in
stance Leroy cast $50 votes for Garfield
and ten, Republicans attend the con-
wention they will be entitled to fifteen
evetes each, and if five atten they will
sbe entitled to thirty votes each, and
-shosld all attend they will be entitled
to ore vote each, and SO with each
township. This would dispense with
township caucuses and primary elect
lions, as wsllas the committee on Gre
dentials in the county convention.
When the convention comes to vote
for the nomination of candidates, or on
any other important matter let the roll
of townships be calleusby the secretary,
giving at the same time the number
Of votes that. townshiHIs entitled to
cast. 1.-THE Republicans, present from
that townsbipGre of:thesaaae mind on
the question, let the whoie vote by
one man. If theyxre divided il opin.
ion, let eacl, man vote as he wishes,
aud let his proportion Of the vote his
township is entitled to east be core
corded. Would not this method die
pense with much Of the party machine
nv, and at the, same time obviate, the
danger OF the locality in which the
convention is held out voting all the
irest Of the county a. 10 IAN OrdipAsy

An Index Of iOl q.

The REGISTER has frequently had
occasion to point with pride to its we'll
filled columns but more especially to the
number and business houses in lola as
represented by their advertisements.
1t Is fact which every one can easily
ascertain for themselves that lola to-
day is advancing from a small town of
comparative little importance to that
of a live bustling little city. A stran-
ger glancing at the columns Of the pa
per exclaims at once: "Here must be
a community Of push, vim aud aotivi-
ty ; here is good place to locate a.'d
invest" He sees nearly every firm in
lola represented and naturally believes
that our merchants are hard at work
for business.
Compare this place with our nearest
neighbor and see the beggarly support
it gives its newspapers. Trxe they
have pursued the policy of encourag-
ing blacksmith printers to start a
mOngrel affair printed from shoe pegs
and with kerosene ink, resulting in
half starved sheet good for nothing
except to ventilate a private grief or
represent a faction. And the natural
effect has been inevitable. The COM
munity has been divided into warning
factions, each pulling q separate way,
until, instead of unified commune
ty working for the best interests,
it is simply n succession of failures
and disasters.
Instead of their papers being credit
to the town they simply look like a
failure and decay is'written all over
their columns. Compare the thrift
and growth of one with that of the
other and determine for yourself which
community is the best to-day.

Bat Guano in Texas.

The IrOgress of railway extension In
Western Texas has led to the development
of the beds of bat gusno in certain caves
In UvalCe county A recent visitor says that
there are two OF these bat-inhabited caves,
which have been partially explored. The
entrance to the smaller, or Cibolo Cave. is
about so feet high and % feet wide. The
passage wIdens gradually for a distance of
about 25O feet, when the outer cave is
reached. The bottom is OF gusno. The
walls are of limestone and unite nearly 2 o
feet above in grand dome. The cave is
as dark as Egypt. There appear to be
neither stalaguites nCr stalactltes. This
cave is 300 or 400 feet in diameter, and
the floor is covered with about so feet of
guanO- In some paris il is believed to be-
much deeDer. The atmosphere is very
dry, and five years ago The guanO caught
fire, the whole surface being burned over
to the depth of about four feet. Since
then. eight feet OF guano have been de-
posted, 81 that We have proof that the
fertilizer is being deposited at the rate of
more than a foot and half a Year On
the inner side OF the outer cave, in the
side of the dome, about l20 feet from the
floor, is an opening about 6 b. feet in
size. Through this all the bats go to an
inner cave, which has never been explored.
Ii Is believed, b 'wever. to oe very eXlen-
sIve. because If the immense number or
bals which Caiiy sleep in it, and because
al the time of the fire IN the outer cave
great quaDiilie' of smoke escaped through
cTevices in The rock hear the CibDlo River,
on the opposite side of the hill, two miles
and a half from the main entrance. This
inner cave is believed 10 be fully twr
miles long and very broad The Uvalde
Cave is said To be about six times as large
as The CIbo.o Cave. 1t differs from he
latter N being moist instead of dry. There
is no Running water in eiILer cave.
The dlstr CT Is quite hIliy, and is com
posed altogether of a limestone formation.
In the abrupt hills many small caves are
known 10 exist, and ali of them are in
hablted by bats: but only the two men,
toned, il believed, are of sufficient
extent TO warrant working for the guanu
deposits
The inst shipment of guano was made
from the CIbolo Cave but q short time ago.
1t is claimed that analysis shows the
guano to be worth from $50 to 500 ton

An Ancieat Grecisn Curass.

OHe OF the most interesting specimens
of aIcbaic Greek art in existence has been
brought to light by Mr. lllman, and is
now exciting the keenest interest IN the
arche piogical circies of Athen-. This
treasure is the back of An elaborateIy
wrought bronze cuirass, and Is thought to
be at least as old as the sixth centur,
before Christ. There are seven subjects
engraved on il. which are thus described:
The main subject, which occupirs the
lower part of the crIlrass, consists of two
groups of three figures each, each six
inches high, and it has been diversely
interpreted To represent either The recon
cliiallon of Apollo and Hermes or a king
consulting Apollo. On the one side Is
Apollo. playing on the Tyre, attended by
L4to and Anemis, and on the other
royal or divine figure, followed by two
attendants. The personages ars dressed
in the most elaborate costume, and every
detail is rendered with finished skill, the
patterns even of the stuffs Of their various
garments beng delineated with the utmost
precision. The subordinate personages are
bsrefooted, but APOLLO wears a pair of |
sandals, and the other principal figure high |
peaked boots, such as are worl to the |
present day by Epiretes. Above this row
of I. ures. runnn = across the lower part |
of the cuirass, there is on each of the |
clsv,cles q bull. and above the bull lion, |
each faci.1g hi, counterpart on the Other
clsv.cle Between them are two leopards,
rampant, supporting each other, surmoun-
ted by two sphiRxes, also rampant aud in
the same attitude. Each of these subjects
is framed in rich ornamental bordeIings
of different patterns, that which runs along
the lower edge of the cuIrass under the
chief design being especially quaint and
elaborate. This unique art treasure wa,
found some twenty years ago in the A.
pneIs by fisherman, who caught ii in his
net and sold it as old metal at shop In
Zinte, where it lay buried among mass
OF worthless lember until Mr.. SSIllInan's
critical eye discerned its value and rescued
