Mat PEE roRTHY OF THE VOTES

The BuckhannOn Banner takes the
correct view Of the political situation In
this State. A majority Of the voters Of
West Virginia are Democrats and they
will vote TO continue representatives
OF that party in power provided those
representives 20 act a. 10 deserve 10 be
kept In power. II they do not 80 act
all the "organizing" in the world will
not accomplish that object. Blu! the
Banner Is wide Of the mark
IL II surp1ses that the RePubli'
cans stand the ghost Of a
chance Of heating the Democrats o.
West Virginia unless their organization
Is far superior TO that Of the Democracy.
Other things equal, the party with the
best organization will win every time;
and no one more highly appreciates
thls fact than do the Republican man.
ayers Of this State-hence, they are now
diligently engaged in organizing their
forces in several localities for the CON-
ing struggle.
We do not place organization above
all else, in a campaign; but the old
Virginia idea that few blasts from the
mouth Of a cOurt-hOuse spOuter Is all
that is required TO rally the people 20
the polls in defense Of their principle
has pretty well passed away, except IN
a few isolated localities.
In the First District, last Fall, shrewd
Republicans were quite a. ready to at
tribute their success in changinga Dem
ocrailc majority Of 200 to Republican
majority Of 1850, Ss being largely due
10 the superb organization which that
party inaugurated here as were the
Democrats to concede that fact.
The Democratic candidate was unde-
nlabIy popular with the people. He
had been their tribune. He had
been unsparing in his denuncia-
ton Of cliques and rings, and had
manfully fought corruption in public
places. And reliance was placed upon
thee notorious facts 10 carry him
through. In the language Of the Ban
ner, he had shown himself worthy Of
commanding the votes OF thinking
men without the lRsh OF party disci-
pline;" 40 the lash OF party discipline
was used only in the Republican racks.
We do not attribute the change Of
1900 votes in this district alone TO the
superior organization Of the Republican
party but We agree with the sentiment
expressed by the Intelligencer At the
time, that II was largely due to the ef-
forts OF GEO. w. ATKINSON, Eco, in
that direction.

TARnExs AGRIcuLTURAL CLUES.

Every county in West Virginia
should have It's agricultural club, and
this club should have its fortnightly q
weekly meeting.
Merchants organize for mutual pro-
lection and instruction. Manutactur-
ers have their associations and railroads
their pOOls- The farmer alone Aeks Or
gzniZAtion, and Jet be needs Il more
thoroughly than anyone else. His life
r set apart from the lives Of others.
The information that q community OF
merchants can get in 3 telegrahic flash,
or railroad men q thousand miles apart
can get a. quickly, the farmer can get
after day Of patient waiting. Bunch
ed together in few streets the mer-
chants understand thoroughly what Is
going Oh With eaeh other. Living on
large farms, the farmer knows but little
Of what even his neighbOrs are doing.
Farmer clubs, with frequent meet
ing, would change all this. II fifty
farmers Of each county meet
once q week and compared
note, on crops, on seed,
on stOck, on agricultural implements,
on bUildings, on labor, on fertilizers
and al the questions Of farm husbandry
and economy, the result would be re-
markable. Each farmer would have
the benefit Of the experience and knowl-
edge Of the forty Others. A good breed
Of stock, q fine variety Of seed, Labor
saving implement, new method OF
composing, ditching or planting-any-
thing in the way Of progress that one
man discovered would go al once into
the general improvement. The result
would be the improvement Of the gen.
eral average Of farming, aud the appre-
citation Of the value Of land.
In several counties Of certain south
en States there are model farmers
clubs. One Of these clubs spent whole
day debating what il the best wheat
and the best method Of planting. II
PROPOSES to establish dairy on the farm
Of each member and sell butter branded
with the name Of the club, and
hacked with its guarantee. A
large dealer has just bought
all the seed barley the club had
TO sen arr rasITes, because 1t was sold
with the cluDs guarantee. so the club
proposes to raise stock and sell only
such animals as are approved ~ tas-
clubs committee. There are special
committees on stock, fertilizers, imple-
ments, buildings, etc, that report at
each meeting.
Let the farmer Of each county Of this
state organize such club. THE REG
IsTER has readers in every county in
West Virginia. Let some one Of our
readers start the work for mis- county.
We shall take pleasure in reporting the
organization Of each, and Of printing
the proceedings OF it, meetings.
There is one thing TO be looked after,
as the most essential Of all things:
Keep the club out Of politics. Never
let a politician ride 1t 10 death. Never
let it have a candidate for Office. Let
il be devoted purely and simply to
progress and perfection in farming.

ARTHUR AND LOGAN.

II begins to be apparent that Presi
dent ARTHUR's westward excursion
march Is intended as something more
and larger than a midsummer holiday.
There is work TO be done-not in the
executive chair, for that can wait, but
ln the way Of political plumbing, which
men Of ARTHUR's stripe always cOnsid-
er an indispensable preliminary Of 8
successful campaign. The New York
Times Chicago correspondent declares
that the Presidents campaign has been
lnaugurated at the Grand Pacific Hotel
IN that city, where assembled great
number Of the chiefs. The cOrrespOn-
dent says: "By far the larger proportion
Of those present during the day were
-taunch friends Of Senator LOGAN whose
advocacy Of him has been intermittent
and from their expressions it seemed
certain that his name will be presented
TO the convention for either first or sec.
ond place. AS the President Of course
cannot be again put on for second place,
the rumOr rapidly spread that a COM
binatiOn Is TO be effected between New
York and Illinois, and that the ticket
will be ARTHUR and LOGAN. Many Of
LOGAN's friends say that he will never
accept second place, but others claim to
be better informed. LOGAN has about
the same control IN illinois as AR
THUR Is presumed to have in
New York. Enemies each has,
but each could doubtless secure an
almost, II not quite, solid delegation.
The theory Of the politicians was that
the interests Of the two are TO be so
so managed that each will secure q con-
tingent interest as a second choice. II
ARTHUR cannot make il, LOGAN is TO
have his strength, and II LOGAN cannot
reach the presidency, he Is to be solaced
with second place" II LOGAN and
Ms. LOGAN accept second place upon
the ticket 1t will be the greatest shrink
ing Of ambition on record. The second
place Is much too large and too good for
LOGAN, except on Gov. FOsTER's theory
that the vice presidency Is political
oblivion. And, unlike much that Eos.
TER has said, there Is considerable truth
IN this statement. What q collapse has
come to COLFAx. What an awful OBJ
duration has descended upon Will,
LIAM ALM,N WHEELER, and AR
THUR only escaped their fate through
'the lottery of assassination" But
perhaps LOGAN has no expee-
tstion that the Republican ticket
viii be elected, and think il would hurt
less to be defeated for the second place
than for the first. No doubt II would,
but It would hunt still less to keep out
n the siBhirlpOol ard not get defeated At

The Bravery of the Zulu.
from the New York Times.


With regard to the Zulu's fighting
power, indeed, there can be but one opin-
ion. ''I've seen 200 Zulus rush upon a
Calling gum, said young officer to rue
the other day, land they actually got
within fifteen yards of it, with the shot
moving them down by dozens all
the time. I don't think you'd have got
many European troops to do the like. "
The bluest-blooded Spanish hidalgo of
Philip II. had not stronger pride OF
race or hanghtier contempt of danger
and death than the bare limbed savage of
southeastern Africa. The very name of
Zulu is vaunt in itself, meaning liter
ally ''the heavens, and metaphorically
suggesting the height and extent of the
nations power. All their war-songs TEEN
with boasting illusions to the inferiority
of the surrounding races and the ease
with which the latter have been over
thrown by the Zulu spear.

carver, whilst ivory is clean and pure
from the start. When it is desired to
produce any given object in bone or
ivory, an umbrella handle with a crouched
tiger upon it for instance, the carver takes
a piece of the material of suitable size,
aud presses it against one of the wheels
described above. At the point of con-
tact it cuts with amazing rapidity. Soon
the shapeless block begins to assume
the rough outlines of the object intend
ed. The lathe is then stopped, which
requires but an instant, and another,
probably smaller wheel, is substituted.
In this way a dozen wheels may be used
before the final finish is given with
delicate disc, little larger than a pins
head; but when the work leaves the deft
fingers of the skillful worker a perfect
miniature of the royal native of the Jungle
is seen. The only remaining thing to
be done is polishing, which is done by
means of canvas belts with pumice up
on them; and finally by canton flannel
belts or wheels. Many people suppose
that billiard balls are tRrned by means
of some exquisitely adjusted machinery,
IN order to secure their spherical per-
fiction. The exquisite machinery is
the eye and hand of the artisan. The
writer saw gray-haired workman turn
several billiard balls, and the only tool
he used was an ordinary turner's chisel.
His eye was his gauge. -Pb5Jddell0Hi0

Died on the Way.

On very cold day in January, 1882,
negro boy, about twelve years old.
was sent from Orders quarry, Ala,
with dime to buy milk from a man
named Pitts, who lived two miles south
of the quarry, in the mountains. Moth
ing was ever heard Of the boy afterward,
and it was supposed that he had run of
or had been carried away by some travel
er. Some days since a wood chopper
found a skull corresponding in size with
a boys, and portions Of clothing, includ-
ing the pocket of the pants, in which
was dime. It is believed that the re-
mains are those of the missing boy, and
it is thought that he got lost, and,
night coming, went to sleep and froze to
death. He had getten to within half a
mile of Mr.. Pitts house.

The Most Valuable Woods.
(Fnom the New York Sum-

Next to French walnut ebony is prob
ably the most valuable. Occasionally a
fine piece Is found that brings even
better price than the French walnut.
Not long ago / saw some that sold for
$3.50 ton. For a particularly large
piece even S. a pound might be paid.
In ebony the main thing is size. It is
difficult to get large pieces that can be
used without cutting. Rosewood and
mahogany are always in demand. The
best mahogany is that of San Domingo.
Next come the mahoganies of Cuba,
Honduras, Mexico and Africa. There
is much less difference in value between
diffent mahoganies and rosewoods than
between different specimens of ebony
and French walnut. Fair rosewood will
sell in the logs for five and half cents
and seven cents per pound. French
walnut can occasionally, if poor, be
bought as low as three cents per pound,
but the finer burls will sell for hundreds
of dollars. Burls worth from $50 to
81. 900 each are not rare. / recently
bought one myself for $1,000, and I
think | shall make it pan out $3, 900.
We must be very careful, however, in
buying these burls. Their value is
often greatly lessened by the existence
of hollows, sometimes in the very heart
of the wood, the result of decay or NAL
formation. Burls In ash and maple are
plentiful and cheap, selling for two to
four cents apound. Black walnut burls
command higher price-ten to twelve
cents pound-but they are getting
scarce. Yes, the demandfor choice cabi-

JoIiet's Map.

A striking feature of the new number
of the Magazine of American History is
a copy in colors of what is known as the
the Joliet map, the date of it being 1874.
The Importance Of this map lies in the
the fact that it is ''the earliest map 1ep-
resenting the Mississippi in connection
with the great lakes" Some points in
it are extremely curious. Nearly all OF
that part of North America known as the
British possessions is set down as water,
much of it being taken up by Hudson
Bay. What has become New York City
is not indicated atall; nor is Long Island
or the Hudson River or Newfoundland.
Europeans are represented as having
formed a settlement on the Gulf of Mex
leo, but now are assigned to theAtlantic
coast. The words, 'sAcadie, "Baston, y
sac ''Nouvelle Seude," and "La Vir-
glnie" are the only signs of settlement
there. Joliet's design may have been
merely to show the Mississippi region.
