A Phenomenon In lRschaniS7.

The new motor which is to sup6rsede
steam, if it works as its di1coverer expects,
coAsinues to attract the attention " me-
chAnics all over the oounS, and L ought
to be settled, pretty soon, whether it. Is
really going to amount to anything or not.
John W. Keely, of Philadelphia, is the ip.
vcntor, and what he claims to have dis
covered is q vapor produced from water
and air without the intervention Ct chemi-
calls, galvanism, electricity, or heat, with
force equal to q pressure Of from 10000
to 80 600 pounds to the square inch. This
seems impossible-though, after all, it is
not so very much more wonderful than
the application of steam and electricity,
but some mechanical experts who have
examined Keely's invention think II ii
going to prove all that he claims. The
vapor is of such enormous power that it
has been difficult to invent apparatus
which would allow the production of q
sufficiently small amount and to facilitate
its reduction to force that could be prac-
tically applied, but Mr.. Keely thinks that
he has overcome both these difficulties,
and claims that he can run bis machine as
easily as an ordinary steam engine. The
apparatus consists Of a generator three
feet high, two feet long, and a foot deep;a
receiver of wrought iron, with a capacity
of twenty gallons; and feed-pipe which
conveys the vapor to an ordinary steam
engine, it which it can be used without
any material alterations. The bore of the
feed pipe varies in size from the eighth of
an inch to the size Of knitting needle,
the latter being all that i required for q
ten horsepower engine. Notwithstand-
ing the enormous power Of this vapor,
however, the discoverer claims that an e.
plosion would do far less damage than an
ordinary boiler explosion, because, as
soon as the ,vapor came in contact with the
outside atmosphere, it would instantly re-
vert to its original elements-air and wa
tor. How this remarkable vapor is pro-
duced, as well as some other points about
the invention, Mr.. Keely doesn't propose
to tell till he has got the patents for which
he has applied, both in this country and
abroad, but number of skillful mechanics
who have examined the machine as far as
he will allow believe it will accomplish
all that is claimed for 1t, and business men
in various cities, including a number in
Worcester, have pledged q large amount
of capital for the purchase ofthe invention
if its practicability is established. 1t is
needless to enlarge upon the effect Of the
invention if it should accomplish what is
expected by its believers; it would simply
revolutionize many Of the worlds in
dustrial interests. But we imagine that
most people will not place much conf,
dence in it till it has demonstrated
its power beyond question.-SwtnNfe

OUR POOR FRIEND.

We have, unwittingly, provoked our
good friend, Hon. Andrew Keegan,-and
an honester or truer man is not to be
found in Minnesota,-into discussion OF
the Woman's Rights Question. and he
has, as will be seen elsewhere, stirred up
a perfect hornets nest ;--the swarm is
out; men and women are both after him;
and our heart bleeds for him. We can
sag to him as Scott said of King James,
in the fight with Rhoderick Dhu:
CHOW gallant warrior hold thine own;
No maiden's arm is round thee thrown;
For tLat embrace thy form shall feel,
Through bars OF brass aud triple steel.'
The Court now waits to hear what the
distinguished defendant has to say for
himself. Mr.. Keegan has the floor.
His last witness, Solomon, has retired
with his nose bunged up and both eyes il
mourning. As an advocate Of monogamy
he was not success. But, seriously, tn,
question becomes interesting and the de
bate will be instructive to our readers.
Keep your tempers, ladies and gentle
men. Give us facts and reasons. Fai
play and no scratching. And don't to
many pitch onto Mr.. Keegan at once, o
he will have to call for volunteers.

The First Slaad.

It is claimed with great positiveness
that the first OF the shad which two years
ago we're placed in the Mississippi river,
below St. Anthony's Falls, by Seth
Green, has just been caught on its return
from the sea. This will be welcome news
to those who can remember of old the
delicate flavor Of this delicious fish.
By the way, are there any deep lakes
in your vicinity If 50, place yourself
in communication with DR.. David Day,
Of the Board Of Fish Commissioners, St.
Paul; and get him to furnish you, if he
has them to spare, with some of the young
Of the white-fish, or Of the land-locked
salmon. Or If you arc near clear-running
spring water streams, send for brook
trout or the true salmon. Or better still,
start breeding place for trout. There
is fortune in it.
And, by the way, again, our friend,
Michael Conner, Esq. Of Rosemount, tells
us that in lake in the township Of Egan,
in Dakota county, there is fish which he
believes to be identical with the white.
fish Of Lake Superior. Specimens should
be sent to DR.. Day. The white-6sh -

Esq, leading and rising member of the

space forbids nything more than frag-

"Need l say the subject is not so much Of
men as Of patriOts-nOt the weakness OF hu-
manity, but the mind and spirit which with
undying faith struggle and suffer in defence OF
a sacred canses That cause was the very
same. and had its origin and source in the same
principle OF resistance to a tyrannous domin-

OUR CoLoRED FRIENDS,

We are glad to note that in several Of
our cities our colored-fellow citizens have
organized literary societies for self-im-
provement, and have been conducting
public debates in . very creditable man
ner.
In St. Paul the s'Robert Banks Society,"
held debate on the question of the in
Auence Of novels upon the public mind.
A reporter says:
The affirmative was supported by Messrs
James Henry and 0. c. Philips, while Messrs.
Thos. II. Lyles and Moses Martin defended the
ment for the affirmative with brief but point
60 NJ dPe Iyles made many more telling points,
and concluded by citing some of the works Of
Dickens, Thackeray, Sir Walter Scott, Alex
rare) Geo. Sands, D'Israeli and others whose
works oould not be spoken Of as trashy.
He said that this was not q discussion Of the
qualities of third fourth and fifth rate L0vels
alone, but Of all works of fiction, both of the
higher and lower orders.
His remarks were delivered in q smooth,
flowing style, entirely without the use of notes,
and much after the extelnpore manner Of an
orator. Mr.. L. is destined to make his mark
among our famous colored men, ana with the
foundation upon which ne has to build, there
is no reason why close application 70 the stud
les he is now pursuing, should not reap for
him harvest worthy of even Fred Douglas.
Every citizen will wish the colored
people God-speed in this excellent work.
! There is only one way for any race in
: this country to obtain public respect, and
that is to deserve 1t.
}. All races of men are on trial in this
r great land. No law can procure them
0 honor and esteem; they must earn it nc
r industry, sobriety, self.control. and t
capacity and genius which they may pro
duce.

;, debt to old Egypt. And the dignity Of
" the dark race Of Rameses may yet be re-
vived in this great land Of ours under the

THE AMENDE HONORABLE.
Judge Cleveland Of the Mankato Union

Judge Cleveland Of the Mankato Union
says:
sThe difere.ce between Donnelly and Will
kinson upon the question under review, is the
marked distinction between the statesman and
the demagogue."
Mr. Donnelly mildly rebukes US for quoting
s'applovingly" the above, from the Pioneer.
He is mistaken. We did not quote it "app1ov-
mgly" 1t was the last clause Of paragraph
clipped Ter publication, and in the hurry OF the
moment tailed to receive that comment which
it deserved. What we should have said then
we say now, That while the Pioneers compll-
ment to MIR. Wilkinson was fairly de-
served, the application Of the term "dema-
gogue' to Mr. Donnelly was uncalled for and
unjust In our humble opinion his course as a
member Of the last Legislature was character
lied by good judgment and earnest endeavor
for the public veal. The eminent fairness
and brilliant ability displayed ~ Mr.. Donnelly
in the conduct Of the ANTI MoNoPoLlsT is
cheerfully conceded by us, and challenges the
admiration of his bitterest political enemies.
We arc gratifed by the high compli.
ment paid US, and still more by the fact
that our old, kindly and respectful feel.
ings for Judge Cleveland are so fully re-
stored. 1t is our strong desire to act in
harmony with all our brethren; and t.
do no man injustice; and we are vel
aware that the great political revolution
effected in Blue Earth county has beer
achieved through the efforts Of the Union
and the Reriew, each acting from differ
ent standpoint, and each educating tn
public mind in the great truths of Repub
can government.
We trust they will still continue t
work together. Close up the ranks AM
move shoulder to shoulder, gentlemen.
