A FLOW OF NATURAL GAs--How AN IN
GENIoUs BOY USES IT.
MAIDsvILLE. Aug. 2S.-Among the
many natural attractions for which
this locality is noted, not the least is
the large quantity Of gas, escaping
from the beds of the creeks, and along
the shores OF the river, from the
mouth of Crooked run to Jimtown.
AT Van Everley's. his boy, John, has
an arrangement for collecting, con-
Quoting and burning that is quite in
genious as well as original. AT the
river where the gas escapes he builds
a circular wall of mud, into this he
inserts tube made Of long hollow
weeds; thus carries the gas up the
bank eight or ten feet, entering the
bottom of an old tin lantern, produc-
ing bright jet of flame, Illuminating
surrounding objects for a consider
able distance. The whole being ac-
complished with hollow weeds and
mud joints. The boys continuance
exhibits rare skill, originality and
energy; and will repay an examina-
ton from the curious or those whose
tastes lead them to study natural
science. SCRIBE.

Certainly Excursions Announced for the
Season Equal the u. & O.'s Special Series
some Idea OF What Baltimore will do.
There appears to be almost no end
to the novelties being perfected for
the Oriole festivities In Baltimore in
September. 1t will truly be as termed,
Summer Nights Carnival, and GER
tainly nsthing like it was ever before
attempted in any city of the CONT
nent. There will be electricity in all
its forms, arc lights and incandescent
lights, focus lights ANA fambeaux,
torches in various colors, Greek fire,
calcium and gas, until night will be
turned into day. The pyrotechnic
features will be on a scale of great
extent and variety, some of the set
pieces promising to be marvellous in
effect. The whole city will be lighted
as never before. The different mon
uments with which the metropolis
abounds will be girdled by electrical
bands, while the lofty and majestic
dome of the City Hall will be fairly
ablaze. Every avenue leading to
novelty in illumination is eagerly
sought after, and old Baltimore will
indeed show herself this year. The
night display in the harbor will be
gorgeous sight; and the arrival of
Lord Baltimore something to remem-
her for years. The Mystic Pageant
on the third night will beyond all
comparison excel anything of the de-
scription ever attempted not alone in
this country but in any country.
Other cities are content with from
eighteen to twenty-five floats, the lat
ter number being the greatest ever
embraced within one pageant in any
city. Baltimore almost doubles this,
MS her pageant on the night of the
18th of September will include no
less than forty floats or tahlcaux cars,
larger, more imposing and grander in
every way than ever before shown.
Ordinarily the number Of characters
introduced in pageant is less than
one hundred. In the Baltimore pa
geant there will be two hundred and
thirty characters upon the floats, every
costume entirely new and imported
from Paris direct. 1t will require thir-
teen hundred men, two hundred and
forty horses, over fifteen thousand gas
jets, eight bands of music, and other
accessories in like magnificent pro
portion. The actual cash outlay nee
essary to place the pageant upon the
streets ofBaltimore will exceed thirty
five thousand dollars. The Charac-
tiers are assumed exclusively by mem
bers Of the Order Of the Oriole, mer-
chants and business men of the high
est standing. The special series of
excursions arranged by the Balti
more and Ohio are meeting with I'M
disguised favor, as they admit of Wis
iting SO many places of great interest
in addition to the Oriole at Baltimore.
AS all the festivities in the Monumen-
tai City are at night, the days can
be put in visiting Washington, Old
Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe, Lu-
ray Caves, Harper's Ferry, and very
many other points. The rate is'down
to the very lowest notch, half-fare
from all stations on the enormous
system embraced within the B. & o.
management.

Newspapers i'm the Public
Schools.

Some years ago the experiment of
using the newspapers as an aid to the
education of childr0D in the schools
was tried at Pittsburgh; and our in
formation is that it has worked well.
1t has aroused an interest in the
child's mind to passing events; to the
history Of to-day as it is being writ
ten. This serves to quicken the per-
ceptive faculties; to sharpen the wits,
and aids in making the embryo citi
zen wide awake and progressive.
Last year a similar experiment was
tried in this State, by the Superin-
tend dent of Schools in Monongalia
county, and we are informed that the
friends of the measure are much
pleased with the result. The fund
for the purpose was raised by private
contributions among the teachers and
scholars; and the papers subscribed
for in this instance were the two ex-
cellent local papers of tue county.
Mr.. MORGAN, the enterprising Super
intendent worked so well, last year,
that there is disposition to extend
it in small way this year. The sin
gle copy of each county paper coming
once week is found to be scarcely
sufficient to serve the purpose among
so many pupils; and some Of the
schools, at least, will add one or more
copies Of other papers to their list the
coming winter. All friends Of edu-
cational progress will wish these eff
forts abundant success. A we'll edit
ed newspaper is a great educator.
County Superintendent in other
counties of West Virginia would do
well to join in the progressive work
SO handsomely begun by Superintend-
ent MORGAN Of Monongalia. That
old county is pretty slow about build
ing railroads butt is we'll to the front
in educational matters; and no better
evidence could be found than is pre-
scented in the above movement

Written for the New DOMINION.
Greeting and congratulations to
teachers and students in all our
schools, from all lovers of education
and its blessings, upon another au-
spicious opening, for another years
earnest work.
Our promising State University
like everything OF excellence and
usefulness in this world and our pres
ent condition of growth and discip-
line, must have its times Of testing
and conflict for it's consolidation and
publication, and preservation; but
the prayer and confidence of all, how
ever differing in our views and plans
Of expediency, look forward to steady
growth and progress, solid worth,
and ever extending influences for
good. Let US not "dcspise the day
Of small things" nor faint at needed
rebukes; but in patience wait and
work, with manly, christian forbear-
ance and unselfish, heroic diligence.
And in due season, if we faint not,
the sons of the State will come in
hundreds to sit at the feet of the
worthy instructors, and finished build
ings and abundant means tell the
story Of labors amply rewarded.
Our Female Seminary opens with
new promise, and the partial inter-
ruption from the feeble health Of its
experienced and successful principal,
we trust will give place to a new
lease of life and strength to the noble
educator and her formerly full and
fourishing and long tried and we'll
established institution. In addition
to the regular instruction in the COM
mon branches Of study, classes will
be opened for instruction in the
French and German languages and
in drawing and painting. Let us
sustain this excellent School.
Morgantown's Public School may
well be its pride and joy, as these
institutions of free learning are the
hope of the republic. These schools
are the grandest product of our col
leges; originated and moulded and
conducted by men and women trained
and cultured in them; and these in
turn pour back a reflex and abundant
tide of blessing upon higher institu-
tions from which they spring. God
bless our schools, the glory of our
beautiful borough, beyond its beauty
Of location and it's charms of nature

The campaign in Ohio goes on with
fair prospects for the Democrats.
Ohio being always considered a
staunch and sure republican state, is
of course claimed by them. and the
election Of their ticket would not
have any significance; yet their de-
feat they concede would at this early
day settle the result of the next Pres
idential election in favor of the Dem
ocrats.

and report the quality of their wheat
good, but quality below their expec-

Mrs. Mary Arnett, generally known
as "Aunt Polly" was thrown from

Miss Annie Billingsly, Of Palatine,

Blacksmith, came over last Saturday
and played a game with the club of
this place, but were defeated by 80
scores. The clubs will play the sec
ond game at Blacksville, but the
time is not yet agreed upon. The
Red Cap Club is composed of first
rate boys, and they made many
friends while here.
The Excelsiors want to play a
match game Of ball each Saturday Of
the camp meeting, on their own

Our republican exchanges all claim
that they desire very much to see the
University flourish and be q power
for good in the State. Now if they
will practice what they preach and
go to work to aid in building it up,
then We might be led to believe there
was some sincerity in their profess
sions. We notice that in sections
of the State-especially neighboring
counties-where the republican ma
jority is largest, the greater number
of names of our young men may be
found upon the rolls of colleges in
other states. Like Horace Greely's
resumption, the way to build up is to
build up.

The republican brethren who
fought the University so bitterly have
subsidized since the appearance of Hon.
VIM. L. Wilson's letters. These pa

now is the Asylum, and that don't

The Highest Education.

There is a great deal that is wrong
in our modern method of education.
1t teaches man to be gentleman,
but yet does not give him the power
ofmaking a living. 1t stuffs him with
facts and meaningless words, phrases
and theories, but does not enable
him to think for himself and become
a man in the highest and best sense.
His education is too general and Tot
practical enough. All classes should
be taught that PERUNA-the great
remedy compounded by DR.. Hart
man-the very thing he needs for the
restoration of his health and the ton
ing up Of the body. Being composed
of pure vegetable substance and con-
tanning no poisonous m inerals, they
are just the thing for all classes Of
people, and all should learn at once
that it is to their interest to inquire
into the merits of these medicines,
for therein lies the highest education.
Ask your druggist for PERUNA.

generally to have the capital Of the new

buildings. Such can be found one mile
east Of Redheld, at the junction Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St.Paul With the

Sufficient land can be obtained free for
capital purposes and before the legis-
lature decides to pass any measure in
that direction, that body should first learn
that II kedfeld is prepared

the capital are properly considered,
