HoT AIR Us. STEAM.-We understand
that the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Company nave ordered a locomotive to be
constructed, which shall be propelled by
hot air, on an entirely new principle,
Should this experiment meet with success,
the use of the tender will be entirely dis
pensed with, and coal sufficient to take the
machine to Cincinnati can be carried in a
single barrel. We cannot too highly COM
mend this Company for the enterprise
which induces them to make the expert
ment. Railroad Companies have hereto
fore worry strangely rejected all improve
ments which have been brought up and pro-
posed for the great perfection of the locc-
motive, and thus the engine now in use
is the very same, with a few inconsidera-
bic exceptions, as that first made by
Stephenson years and years agone. 1t this
experiment of this influential and enter
prising Company should meet with success,
it will create a revolution in propulsion

Pokine Him with Sharp Sticks.

The Ohio Statesman poked up Mr..
aBL1cKENsDERFER, the Abolition Wing
-Know-N othing candidate for Public
Works plumber, with the following sharp
pointed stick:
This man was nominated at the Flu
sion Convention for the Board of Public
Works. His election is expected to Sc
cure two or three things, as we see by the
resolves of that Convention
1. The repeal of the territorial bills
2. The restoration ofthe Missouriline !
3. No more slave States
How such remarkable things are to be
done by attending to our Public Works,
we see very dimly ; but the connection of
Blickensderfer with the feat is enough
to beget curiosity about the wonderful
man of such a sesquipedalian name i
Curiosity shall be gratifed.
/. He was Endorsed by John Woods,
ex-Auditor of State and was put in nom
nation by his management. IL is a
part of Woods scheme for " wealth and
power" Woods knows how to manage
it. Was it not Woods who put $780,
600 of the Sinking Fund into the Co.
lumbus Insurance Company, sinking ii
out of sight? That's the magic genius
which turned up Blickensderfer, and
headed the Hamilton county Fusionists
who thought that their portion ofthe STATE
deserved the nomination. Woods must
go to Tuscarawas, that his old conpan-
ion in the days of his official trickery
might return again to wealth and pow
err Then Woods is safe for a slice.
2. Blickensderfer, it is asserted, while
heretofore acting as one of the Board,
also acted in the service of a railroad
Company, receiving $500 per annum,
while taking pay from the State for his
official service. We believe that he il
now in the railroad service. 1t may be
important just now, when the canals.
owned by the people, are supposed to be
rivals of the railroad, for the carrying
trade, to understand little more about
the intimate relations between Dickens
derfer and the railroads.

sights aboue the CIouds.-The Peters
burgh Express gives the following ac-
count of Elliot's ascension from that
place.
Again, he rose higher, and although he
says this is his 101st ascension, he never
before behold SO STANCE an aerial phenom-
enon as he witnessed this trip. While
rising steadily through the clouds into the
upper atmosphere, he saw the sun having
q dim red appearance in the distance, and
having made his way for over a mile up
ward through the hazy clouds he came in
to q magnificent and brilliant sunshine, so
hot that he perspired freely, though at
the height of about four miles from earth.
He SAYS that this is the first time he ever
experienced such heat, at that distance,
and never before did he perspire when
so far up. This shows that We have
warm heats and suns in Virginia.
While at that height, he witnessed a
most magnificent mirage phenomenon on
the strata of atmosphere behind him.
| About five hundred feet from him oppo-
site TO the left was a tremendous well de
fined. dark shadow of his balloon, car and
himself, while. about half way between
the dark shadow and his balloon, was an
other bright reflection of Isabella and him.

with every tint and color portrayed, and
appeared to him like another aerial twin
companion, which Initiated his every mo-
lion or gesture. His shadow appear

halo.

A Picnic party Amid h Planes.

On Friday of last week a picnic party
left Albany, N. Y, with all the usual ao-
companimeEts, to gather blackberries on
of Mountains. They had good success
and met together, for lunch, at q secluded
brook 3 place covered with verdurc, water
ed by 4 clOar cool brook, and surrounded
on all sides by tall clifs. Tired and
hungry they soon disposed of the bill OF
fare, and then indulgod, two or three
hours, in songs, tales, dances and other
pastimes. Il was known to them when
they first started, that a portion of the
mountain range was on fire, but absobed
in their amusements they thought moth
ing of it, uutil the smoke grew dense, the
airhoJ and sitting, the fire being rapidly
spread by a heavy wind, and looking up,
they in horror, found themselves begirt
by a tremendous confiagration. The
Albany Express of the 21st, gives the f.
male.
"Thcir only way of escape was through
the narrow gorge down which the little
brook plunged, and the flames were rapid
ly approaching both sides of that chance
for exit!
Mot a moment was too be lostI All
rushed instictively for the narrow open
ing before them, leaving behind them
more than half of the berries they had
picked. But they found the little brook
could rup where they could not, and that
p~recipices, underbrush, no path, and the
sitting smoke that blew hot in their faces
and blinded their eyes, rendered their
progress slow, And it was slow. The Ia
dies had to be helped at every step almost.
Overhead and all around was a world OF
fire. Before them was just a narrow way
of escape yet, and that might at any mo-
ment be crossed, and they completely sur
rounded by a belt of frei
"Eagerly they pressed forward, the
stoutest leading the way, and all encoura
ging each other as well as zthey could.
"The air grew thicker and darker. The
heat was dreadful. Sparks and cinders
fell like rain around them. Their cloth
ing was repeatedly on fire. The roar and
crackle of the flames were almost deaten-
ing, and occasionally the fall of a-burning
tree crashed upon their ears and added to
their terrors.

The nomination of MI. JOHNSON COM
pletes our ticket, and we are now ready
for the fight. Now let Democrats drop
all heart-bnrnings, and go to work for
the success of Democratic men and meas

Gratis. Let no abstract question or per-
sonal feeling, deter you from discharg-

again reared its snake-like form, and now
seeks to PROSTATE the Democratic party,
through its own internal dissensions.

asks the people to entrust them with the
reins of government Democrats, be-

and their sting like an sdder's. If there
is anything unclean or impure in the

we go the cesspool of Whiggery to puri-

A ,r;o,,, ,Storv IF a Masonic Bibze..

A curious Story Of Masonic Bible
A correspondent thus writes to us DIT
may not be known to you that thee Free
masons of the 10th regiment now station
ed in Windsor, have in their possesses
sion the original Bible belongingte Lodge
229 of the Irish Constitution, once in ex-
~istence in that corps, upon which George
Washington, afterwards Commander-in-
Chief of the army of the United States
was initiated into the rites of Freemason-
-ry. This book was taken in battle once
in l777, during the American war, and
once by the French, Dominica, in 1905,
and each time honorably restored to the
Lodge of the 46th, with a military escort
as a guard of honor. Each case of restor-
alton was u scene of moral beauty tri-
umphant vindication of the purity of
Masonic principles. The surprise and
feelings of both officers and men may be
imagined when they perceived the flag of
truce that announced this elegant com
pliment from their gallant opponents, but
still nobler brethren, who offered, by the
act, the acknowledgements and homage of
an enlightened nation to the purity value
and utility of Masonry. 1 am sure
Brother Tyffe, (Major,) to whose charge
this jewel is entrusted, will allow his fell
low-craft to view this, to them, most inter
esting relic of days gone by, especially as
it is again about to brave dangers of ac-
tive service. May God speed these gal
liant fellows wherever they go ~ Wind
sor and Etoa Express.
