The Daily Saratogian whose report
of the Intercollegiate Boat-:acc we have
copied, and which is by far the most
graphic and best account of the affair,
says editorially:
s:As fine race as ever was rowed,"
was the ejaculation Of an old oarsman
at the conclusion Of the Regatta The
race was superb in most Of its aspects.
II was contest between gentlemen,
most if not all of them at that age
when, however good the breeding, the
blood is hot. We cannot find it in US
to deploro the good and ancient rivalry
between the two elder colleges, Har-
ward and Yale, nor are We disposed 70
mourn that Columbia carried of the
honors of the day. Harvard aud Yale
displayed pluck aud determination that
approached the verge Of passion. But
the esprit al. corps, the earnestncts, the
singing out of each by tho other, even
though they may thereby have lost the
race, was simply glorious. 1t was mag
ni6cent. The genuincness Of this RI
valry was refreshing. It was only q
boat-race, but had tho fate Of kingdoms
depended upon the efforts Of any one
Of the twelve, he could not have bent
to his endcavor with moro ardent
spirit. Fortune, singularly enough,
threw Yale and Harvard together at
the start, and ere the race was half Over.
they had locked oars, and were wrest-
ling on the surface Of tho lake. It
was q stormy moment, and some think
that had not Yale aud Harvard been
50 intent upon zach other, ono Of them
might have Won the race. We do not
know as TO that. Columbia and Wes-.
lsyan roWed away from Harvard and
Yale, and hot young blood vas At boil
ing heat among the wearers -of the
Blue and Magenta. Both lost the
prize, Yale being disabled whilo lead
ing the van. We do not ray that Col
Eumbis would not have won had Yale
and Harvard not run foul Of each
other, nor do We say who is 10 blame

THE Southern Minnesota r. 4. has is
sued new tariff under the schedules
adopted by the State r. r. Commission
ers. Strange as it may seem, this road
charges less for transporting the item of
wheat, than the law allows them. Such
singular conduct is explained however
by the fact that the company receives five
cents per bushel from the managers of
the West Wisconsin Railway, for every
bushel delivered to them for transit to
Milwaukee or Chicago. With such a
margin the 8. NJ. r. R. can make lively

EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVE

MASSILL0N HARVESTER CUTS
TWELVE ACRES OF HEAVY
WHEAT IN EIGHT HOURS,
AND TWO MEN BIND 1T.


ing agent for the Manufacturers Of the
Nlassillon Harvester, having Ills head
quarters at Waterloo, Iowa, was trying
one Of his machines on Oscar Ayers
place, last week, when DR.. Thornhill
went out to see it work. Not think
ing to buy, as he had nearly finished
his cutting. Mr.. Herrick represented
that the machine, with two binders,
could cut and tie up twelve acres per
day. To test the matter, the Doctor
told him if he would take tho Harves
ter out to his Dexter Farm, and cut
twelve acres, and have it bound in the
same length Of time, by two men, that
he would by the machine. Accord
ingly, the Harvester was taken out to
the farm, the ground measured and
Tuesday OF this week fixed upon for the
trial; the result Of which is summed
up in the following certificate Of facts:
Ausr1", Mimi, Aug. 18th, 1874.
70 the Public.
I hereby certify that on my farm in
Dexter, Mower County, on tho 11.h
inst, one Of the Massillvn Harycstcrs,
manufactured by tho Excelsior Works,
ut Massillon, Ohio, under the dire etion
Of P. r. Herrick, Esq.,, General Trav-
cling Agent, j. J. Marsh, Of De-
corah, Iowa, and D. B. Smith Of this
city, Special Agents, CUT TWELVE
ACRES of Rio Grando wheat in RIGHT
HOURS, aud that the grain was we'll
bound in the same length Of time, by !
TWO MEN.
Further, that in my judgment. the
said wheat will yield an average Of
twenty bushels per acre; that it was
fully ripe, all Of it leaning, and not a
little crinkled that the ground was
nearly new, and consequently some
what rough that the grain was clean
~ and evenly cut, and bound with less
waste than ordinarily occurs in taking
up after a reaper; that the weather
was excessively hot, the Thermometer
indicating 1909 in the shade, and that
the work was done with comparative
ease, by both men and team. In NC
cordancc with my agreement to pur-
chase the machine, in Gaze it would
cut twelve acres in as many hours, and
the same be bound by two men, I &C.
ceptel it with pleasurable satisfaction,
and have bought two more for next
years use.
For, reference, I here insert the
names and places of residence Of tho
men who operated the machine, which
are as follows, viz: Driver, E. H.
Seeley, Austin Binders, Orrin Cap
ron, Eleota, and Chas. A. Packard,

WAiSky-$uicide.

T. G. Patch, late resident of Owa
tonna, committed suicide at home one
week ago to-day. Patch was ore OF
that class Of mcn, whose nervous Or
ganization is most delicate and scnsi-
tive, and who maintain an equilibrium
only by the most persistent Efforts
Early in life he became addicted to the
use Of strong drink, and thereafter was
never wholly free from it. He was
not a habiiuol drinkcr, but when he
TOOK one glass he was sure TO take
enough more to make him fea:fully
drunk.
When becoming sober he vas sub
ject to the most narrowing remorse,-
would rcproach himself with the great
est severity, and at times beg Of his
friends to take his life, and thus end
his misery. At one time his reclama-
ton seemed accomplished. During a
revival no was converted, and for
long time led the life Of a christian,
and Of q consistent member of tho
church which never ceased to cherish
the hope Of his ultimate reform
About six months ago, his wife, one
Of the truest Of women, died, CT was
killed, rather, by the bcastly drunken
ness of her husband. When she died
Patch said he never should get Grurk
but once more, and he never did. In
the midst Of a dcbauch he put a pis.
tol to his temple and ended his lifc.-
lie was kind and generous. and when
sober was possessed Of good degree
of business capacity. Rum and ruin
arc synonymous terms.

Tho Scandal. ,

The 1ong-expected statement Of Mr..
Bcechcr has come at last, but it is not so
full and convincing as to satisfy the
public of lis entire innocence. It places
MIR. Tilton and Mr.. Moulton, each in a
very unpleasant position, without ma.
terially aiding its author. Further dc
velopments are promised, and much more
that is unsavory may yet be cxhumed.
For the sake Of decency, and thcs juve'
nile minds of the country, there should
come an end to this business speedily.

judicial.

It is we'll known that the State Conven-
ton to be held at minneapolis, Sep. 8,
prox., has to nominate only two condi-
dates, viz: one for: The Office of Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court and one
for the Office of Associate Justice.
Hon. s. J. r. Mcmillan now pfesides
on the Supreme Bench, by!authority from
the Governor, having been promoted to
the Chief position upon tho retirement
Of Judge Ripley. George B. Young was
appointed to the subordinate position
vacated by Justice Mcmillan.
The present Chief Justice ia a gentle.
man of acknowledged purity Of charac.
ter and rare legal attachments, and it is
all-important that he be retained. His
long residence in the State: his familiari-
ty with her history and her: legislation ;
his knowledge Of Jurisprudence and his
extended experience, render him more
valuable in the position lie now occupies,
than any other man which the State can
designate. That he will be nominated
and elected, is conceded by all parties
Judge Young is not generally known,
Governor DAVIS had met him frequently
in the Courts Of the State, and knew him
to be lawyer Of eminent ability and cul-
ture; possessing those peculiar qualities
of mind which tend to the formation of
correct conclusions. Accordingly, a
place upon the Supreme Bench was ten
dered him, and accepted. His colleagues
aud the attorneys who have been in count
since its reorganization, speak Of him in
terms Of high commentator, and it
seems probable that the same good judg-
mcnt displayed by the Governor in max.
ing the appointments will characterized
the action Of the Convention soon to
meet, and that the recent appointces will
he confirmed By the voice Of the people

outmcasure, infinitely, all merely indi-
vidual or private interests, and that
man is not friend Of his race, who
will not subordinate his own opinions
to those entertained by majority of
Of his fellows. BY this We do not
mean that person shall disavow the
sentiments entertained and cherished
for years, and by sudden transition
become the mental type of his antipode.
Not at all. That would be abncgation;
not subordination. What wc do mean
is, that if ono person cnterta;ns er-
tren,e ciiews he should abate somewhat
of his zeal for the sake of harmonizing
himself with the masses who do DOT
concede either the 'propriety or the
justice Of bis notions. An EXTREMIST
is seldom sound in theory, and never,
in any proper sense, successful in prac
tice, and should be followed, if at all,
with very great care.
The present is critical time, not
more so locally than in the affairs of
universal government. In some Sec
lions Of our country, political combat
has recently invoked the sword and the
cannon for final arbitramcrt, and in
others war Of races exists which Ellis
the land with terrorism, aud presents
the grayest questions which an admin.
istratiou can be called upon to meet.
All these crises result from the enter.
tainmcnt of extreme views. Now,
when VIC arc disrupted socially, and
disintcgrated politically, and in the
midst Of: an exciting effort for tho su-
premacy in local and general govern
mcnt, is it generous for few men to
foist their opinions upon the masses,
and thus dictate the action Of the
party? # there be persons Who
feel disposed to pursue such course,
is it wise to suffer them to Do il? We
sincerely desire that there should be
harmony among republicans, but that
inaae acquicsccnce by the masses in
what the few map out and accomplish
is not harmony.
The all-important point upon which
republicans ought to focalize the last
reserve Of political power, is the Gnu
Gus. We hare adopted tho reprcscn-.
tative systo,n Of government, and the
primary meeting IS our only civil
larmory. Neglect that, and our last re-
source for se'fprotcetion has foated
from our grasp. !" Not So, say the
disciples Of Donnslly form new
party" We tell you, soldiers il tho
ranks Of the ropsblisaa party, that
such talk is political treason! Be-
eanse Of Arnold's cspousal Of tho Brit
tish cause, did bis followers become
naalcontent and seek. an alliance with
deseTters FROM Tie respective armies ?
