The heated term has been the most terrible
ever known,” and has swelled the: mortuary
list to sr-‘d'eg'ree that is absolutely frightful.
Children have perished by the thousand, and
almost an equally large number of adults have
succumbed to the ; more - than torrid, heat.
And righkhsre let’me’say that'th'e're has been
scarcely an instance of a death from among
the ranked! the temperate. ’I he men who
have avoided the use of alchoholic drinks,
when sunstruck almost invariably recovered,
and when redovered were as good as new.
But when a whiskey or beer drinker went
down it was generally down for good, and it
is a matter of fact that the drinking classes
were an hundred fold more liable to be struck
than the temperate. The temperance people
may make what use of this they please, but
all the city physicians will vouch for its
truth.

General James M. Tattle, of Iowa, 11- war
deancrat, who has been a very prominent
and influential member of the democratic
party inrhis state, has repudiated the party
and the St. Louis tieket,-_ and come out for
Hayes and Wheeler, As a reward, his old
democratic associates have not only repudia-
'tcd him, but have' buried him with accusa—
‘ tions and epithets. He has been moved to a
speech, and though it is mainly personal, it
will be found thoroughly entertaining.
Among other things he says :—
“Hill, in- that speech, defended Anderson-
villc and the :atrocious treatment of union
prisoners "in I ‘the southern prison bells.
Could I endorse that and still remember my
own comrades who suffered in them more
than death and hell ? Can any party succeed
which even tacitly endorses sentiments like
those ? Ilill also said in that speech, “We
went out of the union hugging the constitu-
tion, and we came back into the union hug-
ging it." What a hug ! (Great laughter.)
That was what they went out for, not to be
rebels, but to “hug the coustitution”—of the
union they were trying so hard to destroy.
I have-seen them when they were doing this
“hugging." (Applause and laughter.) I re-
member one morning in April, 1862, the first
day of the battle of Shiloh, as the rebel troops
came bearing down upon us, that I ascended
an elevation to watch them through a field-
glass as they came. . It was a grand sight,
as they came in three columns, with their
muskets at “right shoulder shift”—that form
in which an army looks its grandest, and by
which it always appears to have three times
its actualy strength. There was a blaze and
shine of glory on those advancing 0071: fine
that I took to be lustre and shine Of bayonets
in the sun. But I judge now, since Hill's
speech, that it was not bayoncts they were
hearing, but constitutions that they were:
carrying along, and hugging. (Vociferous
cheering.) I saw them doing a good deal
Of hugging, these rebels who were not rebels,
but simply “constitution lmggers." (Renew-
ed cheering.) The boys who- are here before
me, who were with me at Donelson, saw
some Of it there. (Laughter, and cries by
soldiers, “That‘s so.” “We saw them at it
in a' good many battles." What patriots they
Were, doing so much for “the constitution of
our common country." * * * _ ‘ * * *
They charge me, too, with stealing wood,
and name the amount—twenty cords. The
amount isright. (Great laughter.) Igot the
wood. (Renewed laughter.) . Philo, 3therc
(pointing to Mr. Case, the drummer of the
marshal band present, sitting at‘ one. side,
and who was drummer of company D'of the
Second lows) knows about that. Also Mr.
Moore, sitting there (pointing to Mr.‘W. S.
Moore of the Second) knows about it too, and
was there. Both of you helped load the
wood, helpedme steal it. (Mr. CasefThat’s
so, General, , The Second Iowa can swear to
that.) The circumstances werethese :—
I was ordered to take my regiment and
proceed to Paducah and join a fleet going up.
the Tennessee river to take Fort Henry. At
Cairo I learned that Fort Henry was taken.
My orders were changed to proceed to Smith-
’land and join the fleet going up the Camber.
land river to Fort Donelson. The officers of
the steamboat that I was on with my'regimcnt
were bitter rebels, and sought every opportu-
nity to delay us, so that we couldn’t reach
there in time. When we arrived at Smith-
land the fleet had been gone six hours. The
captain of the boat said he had no Cumber-
land river pilot, and couldn’t go up that
river. I forced him to go at the point of the
bayonet, and placed a file of soldiers in front
of the pilot house, with orders not to allow
the captain and pilot to live a minute if any
accident. happened to the boat. 7 (Cheers)

Of the squad, and all..who knew that noble
man and heroic soldier knew that he would
have performed his duty. But we not been
going long till one of my soldiers, who was.
,n _..1s,.,mboar‘ man, rem me that the"
captainwas “playing it on me," that there
wasn't half a cord of wood on the boat alto-
gether, and that the purpose was to run out
of wood at some point beyond the reach of
fuel, and so prevent our getting to Fort Don-
clson'.
I began to watch for wood, (Laughter)
SoonI saw some—this same twenty cords.
I ordered the captain to land the boat for the
wood. He protested that he didn't need it
—that he had plenty of it. I told him that
hecouldpullashore or pull hemp. (Laugh-
ter.) He landed the boat (Cheers) A
fussy old rébel was on the spot, the owner of
the wood. The captain asked him if he
would sell it—with a rebel wink. The owner,
of Course, said no. I said we would take it
without making a bargain. He said We
couldn’t take it. I replied perhaps we
couldn't, but we will try (Laughter) We
tried, and every man in the regiment, officers
and all, were scon‘loading‘WCOd, and it was
on the boat speedily. Yes, every soldier in
the lot helped me to do that stealing.
(Laughton) The owner wanted to know,
aswe were leaving, who was going to pay
him for the wood. I told him that I, didn’t
know, and that all I knew was we were bound
for Fort Donelson, and no rebels were going to
step us on the trip if we could help it. That
is the story of the wood. (Cheers) I don’t
know exactly how much I stole. :I' didn’t
ask the price and didn’t pay for it. This is
the robber that I was there. But'we did get
to fort Fort Donelson, and some 'of you have
heard of the fun that the Second Iowa bad
there with that lot of Ben Hill’s “constitu-
tion buggers." "' * *
I feel in earnest now as I did before the
war. (Cheers) I have no retreat to make.
(Renewed cheers.) Thejreason I have left
the democratic party is that I have no faith
in it, (cheers) and no faith in the old rebel
element who I; have long feared would come
to the front, aud‘vwho-I now know and see
have come,» and whose coining has made my
way clear and my. course of duty plain.
(Great applause.) Seeing these men again
at the head of the party, and seeing the de-
fiance of. the men who held ofilcc in the,
national government under the democratic
party, makes things, plain enough. Among.
the last democraticofiicers of any-note were
_ Floyd and Jake, Thompson,'the democratic
. .-. secretary of, way:and secretary of the interior.
Theystole from the government, they were:

corruptions all that..is..charged against the

Washihstee Haw months new; likea
braggart demanded investigation, pdnipously
saying that he would waive the legal point of
time. ‘ He went down there blowing, and got
sued for the money that he stole for the
rebels. . (Great cheering.) If old Floyd
were alive, he. too probably would go dawn
there, under the protection of the rebel
shadow of Ben Hill, and demand investiga-
ed with the curse of the _ crime against
Abraham Lincoln, he also had the good;
sense to die. He was at Fort Donelson with
the other “Constitution buggers,” but he
skipped out early, soas to be safe. If he
had stood his ground like a brave man, he
would probably have had the good fortune to
die earlier. (Laughter.) But he lit out.‘
He could steal for the confederacy, but he
wasn't willing to die for it." (Laughter.)

President or Sheriff—Which ‘2
One who gathered his political ideas from
the public press would be excused for sup-
posing 'tbat the Presidential oflicc in the
United States was very like a common con-
stable’s, or a police sergeant’s, fer the news-
papers are' full of eulogies of the Presidential
candidates because they possess qualities
which fit them for such duties as these ofilccrs
of the law are expected to discharge. The
great argument in favor of Mr. ’l‘ildcn’s
election to the Presidency, as presented by
the Democratic press, is not that his conduct
was that of a patriotic citizen when patriot-
ism was needed ; but that he will be wise
and unpartisau-in his administration of the
government, if'clected ; not that he is of a
sufficiently sound body and mind to bear. the
strain of four years of arduouspublic service;
not that he is, supported by mep who are un-
connected with rings and who hate the cor-
ruption of venal politics ; but they propose
to elect him to the Presidency because—he is
clever at drawing 11p indictments, and shrewd
enough to catch rogues, and brave enough to
arrest errant knavcs, with whom formerly he
closely affiliated.
Well, we fully agree with them that it is a
good thing to be able to catch a rogue ; that
it is a noble exhibition when Gov. Tildeu, or
any other New York politician of forty years
standing, breaks with a set Of political cut-
throats with whom he had served fraternally
for half that number of years ; that adroit-
ness in entrapping the cunning scamps is
proof of intellectual and legal cleverness of a
very high order ; but we respectfully submit
that these characteristics, admirable as they
are in the lower stations of civil service, are
not sufficient in themselves to constitute a
reason why the people should elevate the
possessor of them to the Presidency of the
nation. The qualities of natm'e and habit of
acting which fit one for the position and
duties of the police office do not fit ‘ one for
'the WhitcfiHouse. The Chief'Magis'trate Of
the Republic must be more than a clever po-
lice sergeant or a. shrewd criminal lawyer ';
hemust be a scholar, well versed in both the
theory and administration of the government
whose oflicial head he is to be'; he must be
a p_atriot,-whosc voice and heart have ever
been on the 'side Lof liberty and country ; he
must be .17 statesman, broad,,unselfish, catho-
lic,‘wise and pure, above reproach or fear.
These are the qualities of heart and head ;
these are the conditions of nature and fact,
which he needs who would be .‘ President,
and these are what the people will—before
the‘campaign is over—demand he, shall have
who would be lifted by their suffrage to the
seat of honor and authOrity overthem.’
There never was a cry ' sillier than that
raised in. favor of :_nominating Secretary
Bristow 'bythe Republicans to the Presidency,
simply because he had acted. well the part of
a subaltern and proved himself. honest and
brave enough to arrest a set of scamps.
say this, who believe Mr. Bristow has in him
the elements of character and training, which
would have made him a good President.
But that his war on the whiskey ring consti.
'tuted any, ground why he should be nomina-
ted to the Presidency, we scout as utterly
foolish. And if our Democratic friends im-
agine that Mr. Tilden’s supposed habit of
“smashing canal rings," etc, etc., constitutes
a reason why the people should elevate him
to the Presidential chair, their supposition is
as foolish as their expectation is vain.
If Mr. Tildcn is as wise in statescraft as
was Seward ; if his record during the war
can be made to show that he hated disunion-
ists like Jackson ; if 'his partiotism is of _ the
fibre of Lincoln's ; if his love Of liberty'is'as
wasGreeley’s ; if his associates during his
long political life have been pure and good
men ;- if his party is of such a character as'to
warrant the hope that he will be permitted to
carry out his best impulses; if those things
can be proven and established in his behalf,
then are his chances good, and his election
would rebound to the glory of the nation.._

A Town Without the Liquor
" Traffic. . ..
The town of Vineland, N. J., was incoi.»
porated in 1861. By special act of the legis-
lature. the inhabitants of the town Were
privileged to vote annually upon the question
of license, “yes" or “no.” The design of
the founder, Charles K. Landis, was to shut
out the liquor traffic, although he was not a
temperance man. As a wise business trans-
action, this method was adopted to secure
the largest prosperity. From that day, an-
nually, in March, the citizens have voted up-
on thc question, when the vote for the traffic
ranged from five to seventeen, until last
March, when the vote for the traffic was on-
ly 57 of the more than 1000 votes cast. The
place has now 12,000 inhabitants, but no liq.
uor traffic. What is tm result ? The town
hasno alms-house, jailer house. of correc-
tion, police or fire department. All the po-
lice work required‘ is performed by the depu.
ty sheriff, who is a grocer in the place. The
:whole valuation of the tdwn in the start was
$128,500,3now it is $5,000,000. The taxes
The town expends
more for schools than the whole county did
14 years ago. The expenses for the poor are
about $350. At the average rate of the sup-
port of paupers in Massachusetts, the town
would pay annually $4600 for the same pur-
In the autumn of 1875, a reliable, gen-
tleman from Massachusetts visited Vineland,
and went from there to New Britain, Conn,
a place of about the same population, under
the curse of the license trade. He collected
the following ofiicial statistics of the two pla-
ces: “Cost of pauperism last year in Vine-
land, $224 ; in New Britain, $8500. Cost of
police last year in Vineland, $75 ; in New
Britain, $7500. New Britain has $500,000
invested in churches, and expands $80,000 to
support them. The town expends also $20,-
000 for public schools. Four years before
these statistics were taken, a temperance so-
ciety on the basis of moral suasion was or.
,ganized, and held meetings on Sabbath eve-
nings from that time in the town ball. And
yet, with all these improving and elevating
agencies, the grog-shops in New Britain,‘un-'
.der license, have increased. In 1870 there
were 8.0 grog-shops, in 1874 there were 100.
How different it would have been with Vine,-
land under'the licensed liquor traffic. Under
that there would have been; now lock-ups,
and jails, house of correction, police, court,
fire department, etc. The chief cities of the
“county—Bridgeton and Millville—seeing the
few cases brought before the grand jury
from Vineland, and that nearly all from the
rest of the county were caused by rum, have
refused license. ’
The metrgomrr papers speak hopefully
of the expected revival of business this fell,
upon this subject. The ribmw thinks “we
have already seen the worst of the results of
tlie'panic, and the depression brought upon
the country by a decade of over-trading,
over-production, wild speculation, and ex-
travagant living.”
WINDSOR, Ont. , August 7.—A bold attempt

bank here. They entered after business hours
and threatened to shoot the cashier if he did
not give them the money. He pushed their
pistols aside and drew his revolver, when the
robbers fled. . They were arrested and placed .
in jail.

The Affecting History of a Hart-

“ Susan Coolidge," whose mm dc plumjc
but slightlyt_vails,Miss Susan Woolsey of
New Haven, lute-just published a collected
volume of her magazine stOrics and sketches,
under the title of “For Summer Afternoons.”
Among them is a very readable story, told
in letters, entitled “The Gibraltars." This
story Was I think, that first suggested to a
Hartford bachelor club of whilst-players their
own name and organization. Finding that
married men had to leave the whist-table too
early in the evening, it, was decided to ex-
elude them in toto; the next move was to
vote to formally try every member who
seemed to in ahywise imperil his bachelor
standing, and, if convicted, to fine him a
hers, but five are now left. Trials were fro?- .
quent, and the penalty so rigidly enforced
(but one acquittal was ever known in the
annals of the club, and then the prosecuting
attorney was sentenced in lieu of the defenda;
ant), that it soon became cheaper to mm
than to stand trial. “Experience mectiugs’-
were held every fall after a summer vacation.
At these meetings, full confessions were re
quired, absolution granted on promises of
reform, and the rules put in force again.
one confession Iremcmberwas that of one
of the nine who consented to take part inl
some tableaux. To his surprise, he found;
himself cast as. one of “The Huguenotg
Lovers,” after Miller's famous picture. Hei

that his associate therein—a charming blonde;

tion,‘as’king for it, the thing was granted, and
fifty dollars are supposed to have gone into
the treasury. ;
Achange at once came over the town.
Drunken men began to be seen upon our
"streets. Men who before paid their bill ‘
regularly, now paid so much for rum that '

had on them will never be Written. .
A poor. hard-wOrking settler‘down on the
river, who had opened up a farm, and there-
tofore maintained a family, began to_visit the ,
saloon and neglect his home._. One . morning'-
hc was found outside with his head fatally
crushed by a drunken companion. A long,
and tedious series of 0 trials folldwed, costing
ing in sendingthe murderer to ,prison for
fourteen years, and breaking up his family.
The murdered man’s rwidow made an, at.
tempt to keep her family together on the
farm, and to furnish them with food ;2l,)_ut in

mother from the same cause ; then the rag-

That teaching is not recognized as a pro-
fession is the opinion of The Brooklyn Jour-
nal of Educatzbn, which wisely adds that the
right to teach should be made contingent upon
the possession of needed scholarship and a
special training to correspond with the con-
ditions under which admission to other pro-
fessions is controlled. ,-. It says further .
“There is no profession in which so many
seek .to obtain a livelihood, with so little pre-
paration. It has been for years the last re-~
sort for all sorts of people, man y very worthy
ones too. The remedy, or at least one of the
principal remedies, is to invest the office of"
teacher with more dignity, by raising the
standard of qualifications, so that notwith-
standing the faot that many may be called.

the existing necessity for a training for 5

Ara/up T0 Dir. i—Among the few remains
of Sir John gFranklin that were found far up,
in the polar regions. there was a ”leaf: of the
“Student's Manna ," by Dr. John Todd, the
only relic of a book. From the way in which
the leaf was turned down, the following por-
tion of a dialon‘uc was prominent :——“Are
wu not afraid to die!" “No." “NO ?”
hy does the uncertainty of another state
give you no concern _?" “Because God has
said to me, Fear ”not; when thou passeth‘
through the waters, 1‘ will be with thee; and
through the rivers they shall not overflow
thee.’ ” This leaf is reserved in the Mn-
seum of Greenwich ospital, in England,

attached for debt a railroad freight car be;
ing at the same time on the track of the
Hartford, Providence and Fishkill railroad.
None of the railroad people here made any
objection, but informed the officer that aszhe
had possession of the car he must move ,it
somewhere out of the way. This was a poser,
solidatcd road, who in turn informed him
that they could not find room on .any of their
tracks for such an impediment'asthis would
be. A short time afterward he received a
peremptory order to remove the car from
where he had left it, and sought legal advice
as to what course he should pursue. Although
a stalwart man he couldn't very, well carry
the car under his arm nor load it on an ex-
press wagon. Further than this, there is no
warehouse adapted to the storage of freight
cars, and it would be rather an inconvenient
article to have in his private ofiicc. - In fact,
on making computation of the space, be dis-
covered that it would fill the room, and he
wOuld have to set the desk in the 'hall, and
hang his coat, hat and water-cooler out of
the window.» Again, he had grave doubts
whether the wheels wouldn’t mar the carpet,
as the weight of the car, aspainted in white
figures on the side, was 17,420 pounds, The
legal advice proved unsatisfactory, and
finally the idea dawned upon him that he had
an elephant on his hands, and with ill grace
he abandon'edthe matter and left the car in
the hands of the local road, tobe returned in
due course of business to the road owning
it.—Hartford Post.

“ Yes, ma’ma, I am ! I say it’s a shame to

The following striking picture of the re-
publican candidate for President is extracted
from a letter addressed to the Hon. Henry
0. Carey, of Philadelphia, from an Old friend
at Washington 1. “I know Hayes well, hav-
ing messed with him and his wife, while he
was in congress. 'He is a strong man well
balanced, with large experienceas a . soldier,
as Governor of Ohio, as Congressman, and as
a laWycr, who, whenever out of public duty
has found that kind of practicewhich proves
that he has steadily enjoyed the Confidence

A DOCTOR’S DIARY.
A pocket-diary,'picked up in the street of
a neighboring city, would seem to' indicate,
from the following choice extracts, that the
owner was a medical man:
