AMONG CIVILIZED BRUTEs.
Animals That Is ill Each Other With all tn e
Skill of Men.

Indian wolves have been seen to- leave
some of their number in ambush at points
on the edge of the jungle, while others
drove in anteiopes feeding in the open
ground beyond. But the wolves as a rule
hunt alone or in families, except when
pressed by hunger. Wild dogs, however,
habitually combine to hunt, and Baldwin,
in his Games of Bengal, " mentioned a
case of four or FIVE martens hunting a
fawn of the ''muntjac" or barking deer.
But In real military organization and
strategy, monkeys are far ahead of all
animals, and notably the different kinds of
baboon. Mansfield Perkins gives an ex-
cellent account of the tactics of the dog
faced Hamadryads they lived in large col
oniesi in the cracks of the cliffs of the
Abyssinian mountains. These creatures
used occasionally to plan foraglng ex-
pedltion into the plain below, and the
order OF attack was most carefully organic
ed, the old males marching in front and
on the TANKS, with few to bring up the
rear and keep the rest in order They had
a code of signals, hating and advancing
to the banks of the scouts.
When they reached the corn fields the
main body plundered while the old males
watched on all sides, but took nothing for
themselves. The others slowed the corn
in their cheek pouches and under their arm
pits. They are also said to dig wells with
their hands and work in relays. The Gel
ada balloons sometimes have battles with
the Hamadryads; especially when the two
species have mind to rob the same field,
and. if fighting in the hills, will roll stones
on their enemies. Not long ago colony
of Gelada balloons. which had been fired
at by some black soldiers attending a duke
of Coburg- Cotha on a hunting expedition
on the borders of Abyssinia, blocked a pass
for some days by rolling rocks on all
corners.
This seems to give some support to a
curious objection raised by a Chinese local
governor In a report to his superior on the
difficulties in the way of opening to steam
ers the waters of the Upper 1ang,Tse.
The report, after noting that the inhabi-
tants on the upper waters we're ignorant
men who might quarrel with strangers,
went on to allege that monkeys inhabited
the banks, and they would roll down stones
on the steamer. THE last two facts, ;" the
report added. would lead to complaint
from the English and embroil the celestials
with them, especially if the men or the
kill any English. london

We sincerely wish We could see
the Democratic opposition to the
Election Bill in any other but rev.
dictionary light, or even could be
able to make distinction between
the action Of the south to day and
its disturbing record of nearly half
century. We hear much about
the patriotism and loyalty of the
New South, Its progressive tendency
and broad American sentiment; but
no sooner does Congress propose
any measure not favorable to the
Democratic party Of the south, than
its Legislatures, its Governors, Its
Press, propose to boycott Northern
trade, pass resolutions of enmity
and obstruction, and Secede from
every interest not purely sectional.
No other party and no other section
of this great country acts so childish
and selfish. III the North or the
West ever shows such narrow,
irritating and disturbing spirit, an.
other civil strife will be inevitable.

EDITOR HERALD.-Now that the
Executive Committee of the County
Institute Society, have prepared and
published a program, for the County
Institute to be held on the 6 and 18th,
OF Feb. 1891, it is to be hoped that the
farmers of the county will show their
appreciation of the committees efforts
by turning out en- naasse from every
nook and corner of the county, and
aiding by their presence and advice
to make the Institute a success. The
Institute is designed to help every
er,-from the smallest to the
greatest in the county. The program
covers all the more important topics
pertaining to farm life and work, and
we feel confident that anyone attend.
ing the sessions of the Institute will
be fully repaid for the time spent in
so doing. We also have the assurance
that DIR. Myers and Prof. Hopkins of
the West Va. Experiment Station will
both be with US to aid, and instruct
by their counsels and judgment.
We all want to know more of what
the Station is doing what of its bene-
fits to US, and there we will be able to
find out all we want.
Farmers, turn out and show that
you are alive to your work and want
to be in the first rank and not falling
behind your sister counties.
Berkeley is one of the richest coun.
ties Of the State; and let US aim to
keep her in the front rank agricultur.
ally at least. Do not think, because
certain persons have been assigned
subjects, that they will constitute the
whole institute. Every farmer will
have chance to express his own
ideas and opinions. H,

few weeks, who could satisfactorily fill
his place? By all means. there should
be both Superintendent of Schools, and
Principal for the High School, SO that
in case of the absence of either one the
other could take his place.
A superintendent in school matters is
just as important as is an overseer in
any of the business or professional voca-
tions of life.
Why have general managers in great
railroad enterprises or supervisors over
mills, factories, or large business estab-
lishments Simply because their growth
and prosperity are promoted thereby.
Churches, likewise, have their bishops,
and other rulers States, their governors,
and nations, their presidents. kings and
empsrors. Equally essential to the up
building of any school system. is it that
Superintendent be provided to guard
its interests, and to promote its welfare.
The additional expense of employing
an assistant principal would be, as have
already shown, small while the increas-
ed prosperity of our schools resulting
therefrom, would be so great, that, after
at least, one year s trial, am sure every
true friend of free schools would rejoice
to see, in educational as well as other
matters, the Queen City of the Valley
tvying with her sister cities of West Vir
ginia, in adopting those ideas, whose GER
tain tendency is to elevate, enlighten
and educate the young.

Since bringing out the fact that
Senator Cameron was SPECTATOR
in silver bullion, the House committee
which is investigating the charge of
Congressional silver pools, hasn't
discovered anything startling and
it IS whispered around the Capitol
that it isn't trying as hard AS il
might, because of knowledge of the
guilt Of certain men high in the
counsels of both parties that has
unotficially come TO its members.
These things are hard to believe,
but they will br believed unless
the committee adopts more energetic
methods than it has yet done. No
honest man would object to stating
under oath whether he had engaged
in speculation in silver; therefore it
seems 10 us that the best way to
clear the innocent and show up the
guilty would be to examine every
Senator and Representative, cot
forgetting the members of the
committee.

The sectarian press is pitching
into Indian Commissioner Morgan,
and its enthusiasts are laying the
whole blame of the Indian troubles
on the Republic administration.
They hate Com missioner Morgan for
introducing the public schools and
public school teachers into the In.
dian country. Under the contract
system introduced by Gen. Grants
administration the religious were as
violent IN their opposition as they
are now, until they found that their
schools got ninety per cent. of all
appropriations for the Indian schools,
then they became warm support.
ers of the system. Under Commits
sioner Morgan the public schools are
supplantiBg the religious schools and
getting an equal share of the appro.
priations. A Baltimore minister
charged in his Sunday sermon that all
religion was based on money the same
as any other pursuit. 1t seems to
be the standard ofjudging right and
wrong in all church affairs.
