Mr. Henry Rawle makes the race for
state deasurer with two berions drawback.
First, he is the candidate of the Ring
clmfged with profiting by treasury mis
management and anxious to screen its
past operations from future investigation.
&mid, he is the candidate of the party
that sustains the Ring, and that when it
had the power, legalized the robbery of
the sinking fund at the option of the ex
ecutive officers of the state. This load
ought to sink Mr. Rawle if he could car
ry up like the Great Eastern.
The city of Baltimore has an oldfash
ioned way of dealing with (flicial delin
quents, which takes us back to the time
when Grant was learning his trade as a
tanner, when Babcock was not, and when
Tweed was getting an honest living as a
chair maker. Two members have lately
been expelled in the monumental city
tar stealings which in the aggregate
would not amount to five hundred dol
lars. A "paster and folder" in Peunsyl-
TUtlia might get away with five hundred
dollars and not be accounted abetter re
publican than the average, so niuch.have
we advanced upon the primitivs notions
of the Baltimoreans.
The next muscular sensation will be
the struggle of the college boat crews at
Saratoga, July 15. Thirteen contestants
are entered for the regatta, and the sport
ir of the daily press are largely
devoted to the descriptions ,of the age,
height, weight and condition of the col
lgians who are to take part, and of the
various sizes of their chests, their biceps
and - their forearms. The college regatta
has taken its place among the permanent
il:versions of our studious youth. We
are glad to see it, because the physical
training necessary fbr the purpose is most
desire.able, and rowing is certainq an in
nocent as well as a a manly sport.
The Wahsington correspondent of the
Ciprinnati Enquirer foots up the net re
sults of Bristow's whisky raid as follows:
-Eiidence has been collected for an as
srstnent of .$317,000 in fines against the
rectifiers. One hundred and fifty-two
different packages of illicit' whiskey have
i•eized, and forty-seven distilleries
and rectifying houses. There have been
fifty-six,officers removed for complicity
in the thisky frauds or neglect of duty,
as . follows: Thirteen storekeepers, forty

-The jury in the Beecher case failed to
agree,standiug nine for Beecher and three
for Tilton. It-is a relief to all who are
interested in the rising generation,to know
that this source of obsceneness and mor—
al 'Daison. is now drifd up and we hope
never to flow through our land again.—
It has been as blighting and distractive
to :outhfull purity and virtue as the tes—

The victory of Cie American rifiemrn
at Dell;vinonut has occasioned general
exultation throughout the country. The
Irshmen who shot against them were the
champions of England, Ireland, Scotland
and in the contest itt this country last
year, at Creedmoor, barely failed of a vic
tory after a splendid struggle for it in
which they fired, With a more accurate
marlismanship than they had ever before
exhibited. At Creedmoor the total score
of the Americans was 934, that of the
Irish 931 ; at Dollymonnt the Ameri—
cans scored 967, and the Irish 929—a
gain of thirty-three points fo'r the Ameri
cans and a lose of twO for their opponent
upon their previous encounter., i- •The
scores of both victors and vanquished
are without a parallel.
The targets are% six feet by twelve in
size, with a centre six feet by six, and a

A Moment's reflection will show that the

THAT GRANGER PICNIC.
Well, the Grangers were here, on Fri
day last. They came from the hill, they
came from theca's. They came from the
East and from the West, from the North,
and from the South, yes, and they kept
coming from early morning until high
noon. The line looking horses and car
riages, and men and women,who occupied
them, must have relieved. some of oqr
-city" people of the idea that G.-angers
are banditti, "traitora"or "rebels" or even
that they are buttermilk, or "buckwheat"
farmers. The number equalled any that
have attended our conuty Fairs, if it did
not exceed them and we have repeatedly
heard it remarkeLL(by those who are not
Grangers,) that a more respectable, or
derly and quiet gathering was never wit
nessed in Montrose.
There was some disappointment in the
announcement that the speakers, expect
( d to address the assemblage, were not
present, but some tine music from the
Montrose Cornet . Band, a song by some
of the members of Lathrop Grange, a
few short impromptu addresses and some
reading by Mrs. Weston, filled in the
vacuum aud all certainly "went merry as
a marriage bell."
A. platform having been Previously erect
ed.the young and old,of those who so desir
ed, enjoyed a very pleasant hop. It was
perhaps not literally "a feast of reason and
a flow of soul," yet it was a feast' of good
things and a flow of sensible, reasonable,
and wholesome sociality and enjoyment,
and we have no doubt will long be , r(--
menibered with deep satisfaction by all who
participated. A more fit time, or a more
appropriate way for the farmers ol this
county to enjoy a little "rest from their
labors" we are unable to conceive.
Though the Grange is understood to
be exclusive within the gates of its lodge,
in confining its members to farmers, or
those allied to farmer's interests,yet upon
this occasion their gates were thrown
open to the public with a cordial invitation
to any who so desired to enjoy the day
with them.
We noticed people of every occupation
in our town, lawyers and doctors, minis
ters and judges, merchants and mechan
ice, all mingling in hand;shakes and
cheerful conversation with the farmers,
their wives and their daughters, and we
have yet to learn that their honor, their
religion, their reputation or their refine
ment, suffered from this pleasant co—
migling. If Grangers are running our
politics, if Grangers are destroying our
material wealth,if Grangers are contamina
ting society by their "rebellion," and if
Grangers are assuming a position and as
serting a right that does not belong to
them and that will not serve to increase
their mental an& moral condition as well
as financial,they must certainly manifest it
in some other way atd at some other time
than that cf Friday last.
Such gatherings are good, both in pre
cept, and example, and if the farmers in
the country will thus congregate with
their families, their sons and daughters
will be less liable to 'seek the haunts of
vice and immorality, away from home and
friends. There will be lessi l . anging among
them for some more "honoiable profes
sion" and leaving of home and friends to
measure tape or ply the shop needle in
some town or city, amid temptation and
vice,but they will choose that noble profes
sion, first given to man by his Creator, in
the Garden and which to-day shchad tower
high above all others, as they aro only
mates invention , made necessary by his
own inate wickedness.
The Grand Master of the traverse
ordained that man should eat his bread
by the sweat of his biow, and the only
reason that every man, to-day, does not
sit under his own "vice and fig tree," and
w. ar his own "purple and fine linen,"
spun by the hand of his "help-mate," is
because he "has sought out many inven
tions" and attempted to gain his living
off the labor of others, by "curbstone
braking," and otherwise, and this has
created the necessity for lawyers, judges,
constables and sheriffs, and a host of
other officials. The profession of farm
ing is the most honorable because it
is direct from the Gr?at Creator and
hecce of Divine orig,in,-Avhile all others
arc simply human inventions, and conse
quent upon an attempt to "climb up some
other Way." t
The Democratic situation.
The New York Sun discusses the Dem•
ocratie situation in Pennsylvania and its
probable solution at the Erie convention
in September. It reflects the earnest pur
pose of the people of this State, of all
parties, to condemn any ticket presented
under the Democratic flag that has the
taint of the Philadelphia or State ring
upon it. Better far that the Democrats
should dissolve their organization and re•
tire from the field, than to present a tick
et that is eitherjthe creation of the ring
delegates, or that has been engineered,
however covertly; by the debaunched re—
publicans who fear defeat and are strug
gling to fall in the hands of their friends
The first attributes that the Erie . candi
date for Governor must possess .are un
faltering integrity and a determined pur
pose to purify . the government to the
utmost of his official authority,.no matter
what officials or what party suffers there
by; and the - first requisites for the Treas
urer candidate are competency to ..know
when the : treasury is right, and honesty
to keep it so. With these qualities in the
Erie candidates, the people will nct stop
to inquire what they, thought of the flood
or the early restoration
.of the Jewa, or
how they: voted even ten or live years ago
Voters will' not_ inquire about either I3Z

THE MONTROSE DEMOCR_A_T, tTU - LY - 7, 1875.
Still Another New Motor.
A DISCOVERY nu m MAY YET MAKE A
The following sketch is from the Now
York Sun. 11r. Webster is well know n
throughout this section, and was for a
long time a meinb , r of th • one! well
kno4dfirm of Boyd it Webster,liardware
dealers of Montrose, but has for - several
veers resided elsewhere.
Thirty-five years ago a poor hid named
Abel Lee Webster attended the Bing
hamton Academy and studied those
branches that his means permitted. He
was too poor to pay the extra lee charged
for tuition in philosophy and chemistry
but he sat in the big room in which Prof.
Rollo instructed a class in those sciences,
and when the hour came fur the daily
recitation, young Webster listened at
tentively, and gathered such information
as he oonld. One day he heard the Pro•
lessor tell the class that all substances
when heated would expand, and when
cooled would contract, and that the
changes of temperature notably affected
the volume of air. Young Webster was
at that time apprenticed to a tinsmith,
and learned his trade. He scarcely ac
cepted the Professor's theory, and when
he returned home that night he went in
to the slhip and made a small air tight
box from scraps of tin, and then exposed
it to heat. The box burst as The heat be
came•extreme. He repeated the experi
ment two or three times, and then con
structed a more elaborate apparatus, still
retainining the air tight box as the basis
of the experiment. In one end of the '
box was inserted a smoothly-sliding, but
closely-packed cylinder, which rose and
fell as the air iu the large box was heated
and chilled. After lie had experimented
until the little cyli2der would raise a
weight of several pounds he became con
vinced of the power that could be devel
oped, and from that time busied him
sett iu a work which became his hobby.
His mind was of an inventive, ingenious
turn, and his plans, which he at first dis
cussed betore maturing them, seemed"
visionary and wild to his methodical com
panion. Webster, though, tinkered on
models through the day, and read the
few books he could reach at night.
While he % was still a boy, Prof. Morse,
who then had his hobby of telegraphy in
his mind, visited Binghamton to interest
the people in his theories. Fur two
. or
three nights he spoke to - small houses
in the public hall, and finally' to attract
the people he announced that he would
by electricity explode a torpedo under an
old canal boat in the basin of the canal.
The divice suceeeded, and that night
Morse addressed a multitude. In arrang
ing the mechanical details for the explo
sion, Morse employed young Webster to
assist him, and rocogniziug the bent of
the boy's mind he talked with him en•
couragingly, infusing some of his own
'heroic energy into his listener. The boy
cherished the example and words of
Morse, and though sticking to his trade
to earn his livelihood and to procure
money for fresh models, he carried always
the resolution to discover a motor to su-
persede steam,
His means were very :imited and his
discouragements steady and hard to bear.
Sometimes he had a shop of his own and
sometimes he worked for an employer.—
Ile turned aside from his course occa
sionally and made other inventions of a
similar character, but the money they
baought him was used for only a single
purpose. With it be built boilers and
engines, and as one failed he commenced
again. In 1870 he designed a power
which he thought was that which lie had
been looking for. Cold air compressed
into a receptacle and then expanded by
heat was the basis on which be worked ;
but it was an intricate piece of mechan•
clam, requiring an air pump and artifi—
cial cold as well as, artificial heat. The
power was immense, and in June, 1870,
Mr. Webster exhibited at 114 Fulton St
a model attached to a miniature locamo-
live, which attained a speed of fifty miles
an hour. It attracted some attention,but
there were faults in it which could not be
remedied, and the expense of running an
engine of practicable size would have
been overwhelming. At this, Mr. Web
ster's partner on whom he relied for mon
ey, deserted him, and the enterprise came
to a standstill. Without means for push-.
ing his experiments, and discouraged by
Ida partner's bad faith, he at first sought
aid from other sources, and ruffling iu
that, be after many dam days broke up
his machine and threw it into the East
river. He resolved to throw aside his
hobby, and to devote himself to the sup
port and future of his family ; but us
means came to him his old thoughts rose
again to overpower him, he found him
self still seeking for a motor. At differ.
ent times, on various theories, he filed
caveats in the patent office, but his ap
plications were couched in obscure lan
guage, through his suspicibna of his fel
low Workers, which his experience had
given him.
This sketch of his past life was given
to the reporter by Mr. Webster
.vsterday
as he stood by the side of a new engine
and a new motor—the result of thirty
years study aud though t.His face was that
of a persevering, thoughtful man. His
forehead was broad,and his head large and
round. The little engine welch was on
the table by him was not much more
than a toy, two little copper boilers about
eight inches high. and connected by two
tubs, one a short one, joining their bases,
and the other a longer one, running di
ugnolly from the top of one to the base
of the other. Of these boilers
one is the worker and the other the feed
er."
"I have thought of many a plan in my
sleepless nights," said Mr. Webster, "aud
have finally chosen one which is the
counterpart of a model which I looked
at many a year before seeing the example
— 7 that Is the human body. There is the
heart and there is the body," said be,
placing his right hand on one boiler uud
hie left hand on the other ; "and the
tubes which connect them play the parts
which the veins and arteries of man do
for his body. It is the divine plan, and
the moat economical one."
The reporter looked at the machine,
but it stood still and told no stories;
and then he asked Mr. Webster what it
could do.
' "Do 1" exclaimed be. "I can rno it,
not this little one alone, but one of any
size, for any length of time, without
• pound of coal, a stick of wood, or a drop
of water. I can and have run a five

tinuous•-stretch of -twenty-four hours ut

and there many saw it."
"Bat is this motor sate?" asked the re—
porter.
"It is both safe and sure. My model
at the Hoffman House is not out of or
der, for it was constructed cheaply on
purpose to exhibit my plan, and did not
have some of these simple 'appliances
which ordinary care requires. It was safe
enough for everybody but itself, and one
day, in cooling it too suddenly, one of
tho light boilers collapsed, and is not yet
repaired."
Mr. Webster put the lithe model in
working order, and in a moment a small
engine connected with it was snuffing
and snorting as though it could liot beat
to stand still. It was undoubted move.

without coal, wood, or water.

On Saturday a poorly dressed man and
boy—the latter about four years old ar—

ImProvements In the Grain Crop.
WASHINGTON, Julie 22.—The lollow•
ing synopsis of the condition o! certain
crops has been received from J. R. Dodge,
staLstician of the department of gram
culture. The condition of winter wheat
generally is still reported low. A milked
improvement is observed since the April
and May returns, in the winter wheat
prospects of the west, especially in Kan
sas. The stale averages of condition of
winter wheat in the district beyond the
Alleghenies are as follows : West Virgin
-90 ; Kentucky, 81 ; Ohio 57 ; Michi
gan, 80 ; Indiana, 71 ; Illinois, 64 ; Mis
souri,. 55 ; Kansas, 97. The fly and the
chinch bug have wrought sonic injury in
the western states, and drought has 'been
locally injurious.-
The condition of spring wheat is much,
better though not generally a full ave
rage. The state average are as follows
Illinois, 91 ; Wisconsin, 94 ; Minnesota,
99 ; lowa, 97 ; Missouri, 57 ; Kansas,
97 ; Nebraska, 105.
Present indications of the condition of
winter and spring wheat point to four
fifths of a full crap. Rye promises bet
ter titan wheat, yet it will not mature a
Lull crop. It is best in northern New
England and in the gulf states. There
is a small increase in breadth of the oat
crop, caused in part by abandonment of
winter wheat areas. Its condition is gen
erally good, almost a full average in states
of largest production, but better in cen
tral districts than on the Atlantic. coast,. l
or in California. .
- Spring barley has less than. its usual
area in the Outline stares, but its areuge
has been increased beyond the Mississip—
pi.
Th e promise of a crop is moderately
good, though the canditten h somewhat
below an average in most states.
The area in Mover has increased in New
England, and still more in the southern
Atlantic states, but has declined to the
WeStern states. The adverse influences of
the . winter and early spring have depre•
elated its condition,especially in northern
latitudes...- , • •

One evening, a week or two since, a
lady residing in 000 of the southern
wards was returning to her home, from
a social gather Mg. at a private house,near'
the hour of midnight.
She was acoimpamed by a male rt.!

they were about to ascend the steps, both
glanced upwards toward the window of
the second story, and at once both or
them saw with perfect &sunniness a hu
man face pressed against the pane. The
features were not known to either, bit
presuming it to be a friend ol their neigh
