Two curious philosophical facts are stated

Two curious philosophical facts are stated
on the authority of the foreman Of the rope
walk in the hayward at Charlestown. One
is if you heat tar, such as they use for their
cables, 100 degrees above boiling heat, you
may dip your hand in it with the greatest inn
punity. and they are in the constant habit of
doing so; the othe: is, the leathern straps
coming from the engine, and working the ma.
chlnery, are highly charged with electricity.
ny standing upon non-conducting body, and
holding the fingers over the straps pretty close,
you become charged with the electric fluid,
and can give out sparks as from the elecnify-
ing machine.

~ Hon. LOUIS F. LINN, of Missouri, the
fast friend of the west, passed down on the
Chippewa en- Tuesday last, having been on a
visit to ahc family of his half brother, Gen.
Dodge, of Wisconsin. We are sorry that his
modesty prevented his making himself known,
as it would have afforded our citizens of both
parties much qualification to shake the hand
of one who has been always ready to defend
the rights of the west.

~ Our enemies are chuckliog with delight
at their prospect of success in the election of
their candidate for the House of Representa-
tives, through the divisions in the Democratic
ranks created by the refusal of two of our
members to abide the decision of the county
convention, they taking the field as indepen-
dent candidates. BY means of their hattering
and promises of support, they may INDUCE the
independent candidates to remain in the field,
and thus defeat part Of our ticket. By this
means, they may succeed, but what will it
eventually avail them The Democrats,
should the Wings ever gain majority in this
county, may retaliate in the same manner,
when they will be made to feel the injustice
of their present course. All that we ask is
that either party may Use or fall upon the mer-
its of their principles, and we think that our
wing brethren should be satisfied to rest their
success upon the same fair ground.
What our friends who are in the field in OPP
position to the nominee of the Democratic
Convention, expect TO gain by continuing in
Opposition, we are unable 10 divine. We
would appeal 10 them as friends, and ask them
to ponder on the propriety Of their present
course. If they feel aggrieved at any act Ell
Their Of the nominee or those of his friends who
were instrumental in procuring his nominal
ton, they may gather little qualification from
the reflection that they have procured his de-
feat, but will that repair the injury they do
their party! Principles are too sacred to be
sacrificed for the mere qualification of personal
feelings. We appeal to them by all that re-
gard which they have for Democratic prnci-
pies, to retrace their steps, regain the path
that leads to victory. If they feel aggrieved
at the acts of any, let them overcome their en-
emies by showing them that they have too
high regard TO. their principles 10 endanger
them by avenging any wrongs tina. may have
been inflicted upon them. We hope that they
may yet see the dangerous situation into
which they are about plunging the party,
withdraw from the contest, and endear them
selves more closely to their political friends
by yielding cordial support to the nominee
of the Convention.

O-Having reminded Keesucker, Of the Ex-
press, o: his ingra,itude to his mother, whom
he has not seen for many years, and had not
heard from since he left her hearth up to 164l,
he flies into great passion, and charges as
with having dragged" her from her g domes.
tic hearth, and brutally thrust her into our per-
sonal squabbles," for which he is to be reven-
ged, in Zone way" Very curious doctrine
that we have offended against the mother, in
exposing the neglect Of that child whose boas-
ted prosperity, had he been of a different char
acter. might have driven away many of the
cares of age and widowhood. We spoke of
the mother in no language of 6srespect-'twas
the neglect and unwananted absence of the
son that we condemned. We presume the old
lady lives honored and respected, and might
suffer agony Of mind were she familiar with
the past history of her undu,iful son. She
raised very bad boy, is about all we know
about her, and certainly have no desire to id.
jure her, base as her runaway son may be. -
That revenge tickles US.

~ The National Intelligencer, the chief
organ of the Wing party in the United States,
although some of its co-laborers charge it with
lnclining too much in favor of the British aris-
tocracy, is Of the opinion that the Wing party
is stronger than it was four years ago, and
looks forward for victory in 1914, feigning a
belief that the party, for redress of grievances,
and accomplishing good for the country, will
unite, and accomplish victory scarcely infe-
rior to that Of 1910. As one half of the COM
forts of this world are enjoying comforts
ahead, we have frequently regretted that ma
ture so formed US as to render us incapable Of
being Wing. that wee TOO might enjoy lit
tie comfort by looking forward TO splendid
victory ahead. The Wings, even in the most
gloomy hours ofsthe party, always appear
cheerful, and sure of victory at the "next
election and never appear gloomy under the
worst defeats. There's some comfort In being
Wing that's sure.

(Keosauqua) Democrat"
Well, the cause shall be matter of wonder
no longer-we'll explain it. In the first place,
we learned from our Territorial exchanges,
and not from the first number of the Democrat,
that ouch paper was in existence. (Won.
der why We didn't get one. Can it be posi-
bic that the publishers never heard of the
Bloomington Heraldy Seeing notice of
the reception of the first number in other pa
pers, and feeling little offended at the seem
ing neglect of the Herald, we stated that such
paper was established, and spoke of the
publishers as candidates for the poor house,
as are all publishers in the Territory. The
number containing our notice, was sent to the
Democrat, which we understand maddened
the publishers no little, and called forth rather
an abusive article, which, however, we never
saw. Thinking that courtesy required that
they should send US copy of the article in
reply, we sent the Herald in exchange no
more. Could more be expected from US?
The allusion to our electioneering and the
appearance Of the Herald, "now and them"
is rather unkind. AS to electioneering, we
done nothing Of it. Had our fellow-citizens
called upon US, through convention, to be-
come candidate, we should have yielded,
and endeavored to edo up" the selection
eering" part "in rags" but as choice was
made of another, we have been saved that
trouble. AS to the second allusion, we would
inform the editors that with the exception Of
week-before-last, when the Herald unfortu-
nately let down." for want of ink, it has APP
peared regularly every week since its estab-
lishmeut, SO we hope no more such illusions
will be made to it. The Democrat has been
placed on our exchange list, and its editors
will hereafter, be weekly entertained, edited,
and instructed by perusal OF that excellent
paper, the Bloomington Herald. Ahem.

- Ths cood advice contained in the old !

A. The good advice contained in the old
proyerb, "Those who live in glass houses
should not throw stones,'' must have been for
gotten by the senior OF the Miners express
when he penned the ill-natured and false state-
ments which he made concerning US sometime
ago. The few gravels, (taken from pie o.
8. dornicks" before us.) which we lately threw
at him, to refresh his memory, has taken 81
feet, as is shown bya long-windef TRADE N
eainst us in the last number of that paaper.sS
The poor fellow, writhing under our lash,
soothes himself and works off his passion by
statements concerning US as false as his heart
is base; instead of narrowing our feelings by
such falshoods, it is qualification to US to
learn that such bitter enemy could not, IN
our private character, as known for ten years
past, find a single act for which to condemn
us. hence his resort to falsehoods, which we
can prove to be such, and will do so, II but a
single individual whose good will is worth
farhing, shall signify to US that the character
of a man of honor will suffer by allowing the
statements of Keesucker to 60 to the world
without being disproved. Having promised
our readers to let him CO." we beg pardon
for this brief allusion to him.
