The La Crosse Democrat, the accepted or.
gan of the Democracy, outrages decency in
tue following paragraph:
''Grant is Methodist by trade, tyrant
by instinct, drunkard by nature, and a
bigoted Know Nothing by descent; accord
ing to the driviling account published by
that dilapidated patch of old boot leather
the paternal Grant, the remote ancestors Of
Ulysses were of the Mayfower convicts.--
U. S. Grant has left no stone unturned to
secure his election to the Presidency. A
convicted liar, on the testimoney of FIVE
members of the Cabinet and the President
of the United States; q drunkard from tho
testimony of all army officers who knew
him, from Whiskey Sheridan to Tecumseh
Sherman; foul Puritan by the testimoney
of his emasculated daddy, and tue tenor Of
his military orders-his election would be
an outrage on decency far greater than the
election of the dcfunct clown who clung to
the Office like grim death to sick niger,
until the breath left his angular carcass"

On behalf Of General Grant, we hone and
believe there is no syllable of truth in the
iribuaes statement. And on behalf OF
the American people, we most earnestly
pray, it this atrocious ayerment shall prove
true, that President Johnson may have the
frmness to exercise his unquestionable
prerogative-even if it be the last act OF
his official lifc-by revoking Gen. Grants
commission, and ordering the name Of this
great mutineer to be stricken from the
inuster-rolls of our army. If this be true,
Gen. Grant is already assuming the part
Of Cromwell and it is time for all men
who value our free system Of government
to prepare themselves for resistance to this
threat of military usurpation. Never
could men die better than facing odds in
such a quarrel. But we utterly refuse to
believe at present, and can never be
brought to believe, without positive evi,
dence, that General Grant has so far for.
gotten his oath and duty, both as soldier
and citizen. The statement looks to us
like reckless electioneering canard, de-
signed to influence the contest in Connect.
icut. But on what melancholy days must
we have fallen, when such canard as this
can be considered popular or likely to Sc.
cure more votes to the party putting il

Explosion OF, Kerosene Lamps.

Scarcely a day passes but we read or
hear OF some terrible accident caused by
the explosion Of kerosene lamps. These
lamps are used in almost every family, and
information as to the causes of explosion
would prove of practical Importance to The
public. We, therefore, reprint from the
Boston Journal of Chemistry the following
paragraph, which may be considered relia-
BILE authority on the subject:
| Kerosene is not explosive. A lighted
taper may be thrust into it or flames ap.
piled in any way, and it does not explode.
On the contrary, it extinguishes fame if
experimental with at the usul temperature
of our rooms. Kerosene accidents occur
from two causes first, imperfect manufac-
ture of the article; second, adulterations.
All imperfectly manufactured oil is that
which results when the distillation has
been carried on at too low q temperature,
and portion of the naptha remains in it.
Authorizations are largely made by unprin
cipled dealers, who add 20 to 80 per cent.
OF nsptha after it leaves the manufacturers
hands. The light napthas which have
been spoken of, as known in commerce
under the name of benzine, benzoline, gas
olins, &C., are very violate, infamable and
dangerous. They, however, in themselves
are not explosive; neither are they capa-
bic of furnishing any gas, when placed in
lamps. Which is explosive. Accidents of
this nature are due entirely to the facility
with which vapor is produced from them at
low temperatures. But the vapor by itself
| is inexplosiyc to render it so, it must be
linked with air. A lamp may be filed
with bad kerosene, or with the yapor even,
and in no possible way can it detonate or
explode, unless atmospheric air has some
what got mixed with the yapor. A lamp,
| therefore. full, or nearly full, Of the liquid,
is SAFE and also one full Of pure warm
vaporis safe.
| Explosions generally occur when the
| lamp is first lighted without being filled:
|aHd late in the evening, when the fluid is
nearly exhausted. The reason of this will
readily be seen. In using imperfect or
adulterated kerosene, the space above the
| line Of oil is filed with vapor; and SO long
lit is warm, and rising freely, no air can
reach it, and it is safe. At bed time when
the family retire, The light is extingushed /;
| the lamp cools, portion Of the vapor is
condensed this creates arartlal vacuum
in the spaces, which is instantly filled with
air. The mixture is now more or less ex-
tplosive and when upon next evening the
lamp is LIGHTED without replenishing with
Eoil, as is often done, an explosion is liable
to take place. Latein the evening, when
the oil is nearly consumed, and the space
labove filed with vapor, the lamp can not
explode as long as it remains at rest upon
the table. But take it in hand, agitate it,
carry into cool room, The vapor is cooled,
lair passes in, and the Vapor becomes ex-
plosjve."
