Howe, who is S Hliog out bis_clhcenth Senatorial year. . Anintepse local interest is also given tothe * lction because eounty officers are to be chosen mevery county in the State, and, the dullness of business making ofticial salaries very accept- geltitadinons candidates for every place in ¢ ereryeonnty. Milwaukee County hasalways been ‘mmo:nucconm_r tilltwo years azo. Once 31 very great while—three or four times, per- Baps, stoce white men first creanized political jos here—an independent candidate has glipped {nto 2 county office; but such things have been extremely rare. Two years 8go, Casper M. Sapger was elected Sherifl, .and Ar. Wechselberg . was elected Clerk of e Cour,—the two best offices io the county,—and, both are Repubiicans. Sanger canmot, under the Constitution, bold the office for more than one term, and the Tepublicavs are scarching with all their sagacity for s candlidate who has nis personal popularity. The Democrats will not put up any weak candi- date for Sheriff this fall, and hencea heated and sieorons contest Is expeeted. “The following is ramored to_be in_substance the Democratic Fiate: For Sheiiff, John Bentley; for Cleriz of fie ‘Gourt. A. F. Woblschlager: for County e eurer, 0. B, Everts, or Patrick Drews for Connty Clerk, C. H. Meser; for Remister of Deeds, Fred 3. Schioemileh: for District Attor- pey, Jared Thompson, Jr.,—the last three Temed being the preseut oflicers. The office of Sherff is worth $5.000 a year clears that of “Clerk of the Court, 34,000 & year; District At- 1orney, 53,500 a year: reasurer, §5,000a yea County Clerk, $2,500; and Register, the fecs, Swhich are probably §400) or §5.000 net. The Pepnblicans will run Wecehselberz again - for Ciark: of the Court, aud Lem Ellsworth for County Treasurer. The Congressional District is- comuosed of Milsaakee, Ozsukee, aud Wasninzton Counties, grd Is Isreely Democratic. That is, Milwaukee is admitted 1o be uncertain, but the other two counties together will give 3.000 Democratic majority. William Pitt Lynde—a portly, hand- some, blonde Democratic statesmau, of 60 years or thereabeuts, bas now been in Congress two terms and hos a desire for 2uother. Heiss Greenback wan in his tinancial views, but is oiherwise ;a_radical Demograt. He stood next 10 Proctor Knott on the Judidary Committee of the House. He'is wealthy and aristocratie, and a brother-inJaw of John Nazro, Collector of the Port of Milwaukee. P. V. Deuster, the publisher of the See-Bote, a German Democratic erening paper, is activelv seeking the nomina- + tion. Deuster grew up fn Milwaukee from bov- $00d; Is weaithy, a Catholic, ana a hard-money ‘man, with no objection to runuing on a moder- ate Greenback- platform. A great deal of bard work s beingr done by and for him to procure the nominatiou, and he is urged particularly on the ground that there is a great majority ‘of Germans in the district, and tley _ore entitled - to representation. Jobin Johneton, who is an officer in Mitchell’s bank, but is now on & tour to Scotland, of whi:h be i @ native, was also, befdre he left ome in Mar, understood to be in the tleld; but s preseut determinationas-to running for the office 15 Dot known. There wili also be candi- dates io Washington and Ozaukec Connties. It would mot be surprising if such a dispute should ariseas to result in Lyunde’s nomination for an- other term, though, 3s an orizinal proposition, thst sureestion would have few supporters; or some uew man, Like Gen. Harrison C. Hobart @ George H. Paul, may be eclected. The Greenbackers will run a candidate, and proba- bipalso the Socialists; or they may unite oa the ame candidate. The Republican “candidate will not be selected till late, when all the advan- tages and disadvantages will be well under- stood; and Ed Sanderson will douistless be the man, if be will consent to make the race. THE LEGISLATURE. There will be a specially-determined fleht over the members of the Leislature from Milwaukee County, in view aof the contest for United States Senstor. Milwaakee County has three Senators sud eleven members of the Assembly. One Senstor—George H. Paul (Democrat)—holds over, havine been élected in 1877 Inthe other two Senate districts, and in sll the Assembly districts, members are to be chosenin November. The North Senate District is now represented brL W. Van Schaick, a Republican, who was lected because he is personally populer and his opponent was personally unpopular, in 1876, whea the district gave Tilden for President 250 majority. Van Schaick will be candidate for reclection next fall. Last vear, on the elec- tion for Governor, the Democratic majority in the towns aud wards composing the district s but 219 over the Republicans. andtiferc were 303 Greenback votes cast. The Democrats will doubiless nominate their best man,—ex-davor D. G. Hooker, or . C. Wall, or ex-Sherifl Holz- hager, or W. E. Kittredge. In any cvent, the contest will be a close and desperate one, Van Schaick is & brother-in-law of Ed Sanderson, #0d 2 Matt Carpenter man. The other dist-Rt to viect a Senator next fall is the Seventh, composed of tbe Second, Third, Fourth, and Seventh Wards,—in the centre of 1be city, and including the most valuable busi- . Dess property,all the wholesale houses, much of thefirst-claes residence croperty,aud alarse pro- %fl'unu of the population. In this district the lon. Edward Hyde will probably be the Repub- lican candidate. Nobody can teil how it will «come out till the votes are counted. : P 1tis said that Tom Q'Neil wauts to run again o member of Assembly on the Republican tick- ;‘Hn the South District. He was in the Legis- ture, and a Carpenter man, in 1875. There is f3megossipabout the Third Ward Assemblyman. district has been represented for three ‘:g" by Ed Keogh, Democrat. _J. J.

The tragedies which stain the histories of finmonen of interest in their recital long M:‘:“fi On Sunday cvening, at 9:30 o’clock, 274, 1851, John Maurer and Adam Hoffman, Oworthy residents of the South Side, were £9iag home, along near the corner of Grove Elizabeth streets. To the west of Grove elreet now thickly built, Was an open plowed and the honses in all that vicinity were h'nd seattering, Maurer’s dog accompanied %lfld bis friend, and, though 1t was middling Tbe they noticed a hat lyinz in the street. 1 (0% EUTe signs of unensiness, ruoning o T 4570 20d they followed him a short distance o w&umglnn ‘which he indicated :as tle place oty Lle. *They there found the body of 2 lying partly on his side. and Tace, and they by that some belated toper, reeling home- + 2, had fallen there and rone to sleep.. They - impted to awsken him by turning him over, “M.-lhey felt slimy - moistare, which was mever Assistance and a light soon came in ey o 10 their calls, and they found that the was one David Ross, who had been: fatally flmh% 2nd mangled, and who .breathed a_few h;f’"‘"’" and painfully. and then expired. boss ¥as 2 Scotehiman, 26 years old, who bad mlmfi:tflde on the South "Side, but had sold Store a few days before, and was pre- . rieg »OF Perhaps to-Scotland. He was unmars eg;2nd tad lett bis boarding-house between 2 Opa.0'clock that sfternoon to go to the Post- hig han“ leaving the house be had said to “lat , an hupest man of good reputes He m’-flk see how much money I bave got.” amiy o ien gone to his room, and came out & porth a belt with several compartments Pockeis, from which be took some $500 sbleto anybody who can secure.them, there are, for two years. . 10 £o to Cinvionati, where his sister- or. $400, which. he -counted, .and - two' ‘watches,—one gold and one.silver. - These he replaced in the velt, retired asain to Lis room, then came out again, and .went away.—as he suid, zolvg to the Post-Oflice. On his body. af- terdeath, a partof the belt, with ove wateh and some of the money, was found; the belt had been cut, and the rest had been carried away. About 6 o'clock.a man called at his poarding-house and asied for him,—described 2s a thick-set man, with a dark complexion. He gave his 1ame, which was not distinctly under- stood or was not recalled; but he sald, “De- seribe my appearance,—he’ll. know who T am;? and he added that he had been Jooking for Ross all the afternoon. It was known tuat one Will- iam RaddlitTe, an Ecelishman and a blacksmith, residing on the West Side, near Cedar or State street, had been at time€s in Ross’ company, .and they were somewhat intimate. Dr. Hatch- ‘ard, still a resident of Milwaukee, said that he saw Ross apd Raddliffe together abont 4 o'clock that afternoon. One Sher- man, who kept = suloon on the South Side, sald ~that Ross and Raddclifle came to his saloon and had drinks together about 7 o’dock that - eveolug,— Ross paying for them. A woman testified that she was sitting near ru upper window, and, by the light from a rec-curtained saloon-window on Lake street, saw Ross_enter it with a man identifled as Radcliffe. This, veing alter dark” of a May evening, must have becn within a short time of the murder. Radcliffe said that be met Ross up town; that they walked tozether on various strects; and that ke left Ross at the west ¢nd of Spring-strect bridze at 6 o’clock p. m..—each turning and coing bomewsrds. Rad- cliffe was arrested, and the verdict of the Coro- ner’s jury was, that he committed the murder. There were footprints leading from where the body was found across the plowed field,—at first far apart, as if the man was running, and then nearer tocether, as if he had elowed up, till they reached the grass in a little grove and swangy bevond the field, and then the trall was Jost, after the dirc irom the plowing had ubbed off the boots as the man walked away. Raddlifle’s boots were the same size as these tracks, but bad none of the dirt attached. Spots which were proved to be blood were found on Rad- cliffe’s boots and vest, but he said it was tise blood of a chicken which he bad killed for break- 1ast that day. On a search of Radeliffe’s house, though he hnd hitherto borne s zood reputation, a large lot of boots and shoes were found,which had been a short time hefore stolen by burglars from an establishinent inthe city.. Radeliffe was indicted for the murder, and was also indicted for the burglary, and was tried for the murder = in February, 1853,—Judze Levi Hubbell on the Bench. He was prosecuted by A. R. R. Butler, then District Attorney, assisted by E. G. Ryan, who had but _recently become a residect of Mil- waukee; aud he was defended by Jonathan E. Arnold and A. D. Smith. Among the jurymen were the Hon. W. K. Witson, Alanson Sirect, Hiram Mabbitt, Joho Tobin, C. H. Learned, tarvey N. Woodworth, ete. The trial lasted ten days.—the testimony being taken at the old Court-Housa, and the summing-up, by conseut, was had in Gardiner’s Hall,—the Opera- House of those days,—which , was crowded with people . day after day to listen to the eloquent advocates, whose efforts were seldom, if ever, surpassed in a zoart of justice. The case was given to tlic jury, and at 3 o'clock the next mornine the bell of ‘the Court-House announced that they had arreed. Judge Hub- bell was summoned from his hed in the United States Iotel to hear the verdict. The prisoner and bis half-awakened coansel were there. With the usual formalities, the ’iury announced their verdict of “Not wuiltv.” The Judge turned towards them, or rather he was alrcady looking at them by the flickering camphene lamps, but he bent” on tlhietn a surprised and carnest gaze. * May God have merey ou your consefences, gentlemen,” said bie at length, and then turned to hear the motion of the District Attorney that Radeliffe be recommitted on the burglary-indictment, which was cone, and on ~which he was_afterwards tried and convicted, and sentenced to the extent of, the lew to State Prison. Radeliffe was a square, heavily-built man, lees than the average hight, but museular, and baving great physical strength. His wife and children were sat before the jury in court, ill-favored and poorly-clad, but givine a text for a pathetic appeal for sympathy. Radelifle, after his discharze, removed to Dubuque, where he died a Tew years later, TOE LODI BRANCII. Tho project of building a railroad from Lodi to Milwaukee is acain being talked over for the forticth or fiftieth time. Lodiison the Maai- son Division of the Chicago & Northwestern Road. twenty miles northwest of Madison, and the Norttwestern Roud runs past there on its St. . The Northwestern Company also”dwns thie “road betiveen Milwaukee and Fond du Lac, sna it is proposed to build the Lodi Branch from Germantown, a stationonthe Fond da Lac Road twenty miles from Milwaun- kee,. westward, turough Washington, Dodge, and Columbia Counties, to Lodi. The distance is about elzhty miles, over country favorable to ralroad-construction. The line would run about half-way between the Northern Division and the LaCrosse Division of the St. Paul Road, some ten miles from either track, to Colambus, and would there cross the St. Pzul track, and 2o on an gir-live 10 Lodi. The road would cost about §1,000,060, of which $200,000, or one-fifth, will be expected from Milwaukec, and loeal aid will be usked from the towns on the route to make up & sum of about §500,000. How cheap railroads can be_bwilt with local aid is illustra- ted by the fact that the St. Paul Company built Inst year thirteen miles of track, brtween New Lisbon and Necedah, in Junean County, fora total expense to itsclf of $45.000. It is very doubtful whetber Milwaukee will vote the afd reguired, although the advautazes of the con- nection are admitted. The Northwestern Road wants to build the line, 50 as to get its freights of wheat to Milweulkee, which as a wheat mar- ket has desirable advantages over Chicazo for those sections of country.crossed by tuat roud. CHANGE IN SCOOL-BOOKS. Under the laws of this State, District Boards may change text-books fn the schools once ia three years, But theCharter of Milwaulee pro- vides that. school-book changes shall not be made oftener than once in five years” The present year s the firth since a change bas been made, and the subject is being considered by the Board of Education,—the Committee on Text-Books having it epecinlly in charge. The members of this Committee are Prof. 8.S. Sherman, Ges. Fred C. Winkler, Richard Burke, Fred S, Schloemilch, and F. Worms. A decis- jon on what changes are to be made will proba- bly be reached by the next meeting of the Boara, which is to be held Aue. 6, or a special meeting may be held for the transaction of this business. In 1573 a partial change was made, 25 follows: Green's Grammar was ubstitnted for Kert’s; Swinton's Histories took the pluce of Goodrich’s; Guiot’s Geography was adopt- od instead of Mitchell’s; McGuflv's Readers have been o use without change ten or fiftcen vears, - and Ray’s ‘Arithmetics have been ten vears in use. Pre- vious to 1573 spelling-books were uot used, the epelling-lessons being taken from the readers; then Swinton’s Speliers were adopted. ‘There is a copsiderable demand among teachers for & change in some books. The opinions of teach- ers.are not binding on the Board, and in some cases their opinions are tn conflict with each oth- er. But, where they are reasonably uanimous in apy ong view, their judgment has great welzht with the Board. ‘Theagents of the school-book publishing houses are extremely active, and are making bids, soliciting teachers’ influence as el ns that of politicians, and otherwise being ealous in the service of their employers. 1t is Tot, of course, incumbeat on the Board to make 2 change, but they will make partial changes in several dircctions. The McGuffy’s Readers will probably go by the board. A changein Geogra- ‘phics and in Aritbmetics will also probably be mad Z | huv; extra cost of the change to the parents and guardians of the pupils is not o very great, 25 they are usually required to procure new books every year at any rate. But, when we consider thiat the chanze is for five years, it-will be scen that the profit to the text-book pub- Jishers is very great. The number of scholars enrolied in the public scnools ig, in round num- bers, 12,000, and the publishers of the books fixed upon baye 3 monopoly of the school-book trade for the Jawful term of tive vears.

ISAAC FRIEDLANDER. Sun Franctzzo Chronicle, July 12, Tsaac Friedlander, the well-gnown grain op: erator, died yesterday morniog at lis residence, 52 Harricon street, of heart discase, aged 55 He had been suffering more or less for some sears from the malady which eventually caused his death, and seven years ago hid been warned that it was essential for his welfare that he should entirely give up business; but the warn- ing was disregarded, and up to’ the day of his Qeath he was actively engagea®in unraveling the cntanglements of old cngagements and carryinz out fresh operations. Ou Tuesday last he complained of indisposition, and went home early. On Wednesday, however, he was at bis oflice as usual, apparently in good heath, and it was not until Jate in the evening that he was at- tacked by a severe colic, which nevessitated the calling of medical advice. “Bis pbysician having preseribed for his r8lief, left him quite confortable, but shortly after 1.o’clock the pains returned with rreater intensity, and lasted uptil death ensued between 4 and 5 a. m. There were few men better known in San Francisco and throughout the State of Californin than Isaac Friodlander. Of almost girantic hight,— Lie stood six fect seven-inches i his shoes,—his remarkable stature and strongly-built frame made him a common object of remark on the street and in the Exchanges, while theimmensi- ty and wide-spread range of his business opera- tions made his name familiar to thousands who had never scen bim. Born in Oldenburg, Ger- many, in 1828, of Hebrew parents, he came to New York at an early age, and after a short business experience there took up his residence in Georgia, and subsequently In Charleston, S. C., where he married. The discovery of gold in California caused a rush to the Pucific coast, and Mr. Friedlander was among the first seek- ers of the new ElDorado, sailing from New York in the ship South Carolina, aud arrivivg in San Francisco in July, 1849. Sickness and bad weather drove him from the mines to the more congenial atmosphere of the rupidly- growing city, where some fortunate speculations sonn enriched him to a moderate extent. A renewal of _speculations, chiefly it grain and fiour, caused him to fail in 1556, but the leniency of his cregitors enabled him to get on his fect neain, and the fucreasing production of wheat in the State soon gave him an opportusity to lay the foundation of the great export trade to Europe in that cereal, with which his name has gince been constantly associated. In 1868 Mr. Friedlander made laree investments in laud, he and certuin ‘associates taking up a tract of up- wards of 500,000 acres in the San Joaquin Valley, which, being paid for in agricultural .scrip of Georgin, cost them less than 75 cents per acre. Until last year a portion of this land remained in bis possession; but it has been generally considered to have been a drafn upon his resources rather than a source of vrofit. From the commencement of the export gram business, Mr. Friedlauder's business far exceeded that of any other house jn the trade. Backed by the late W. C. Ralston and the money of the Bank of Cah- fornia, his facilitics were enormous, and the control which he exercised over prices in every section of the State and the systematie organ- ization by which the farmers were made deg pendcnt upon ‘what be and his azents chose 1o pay for their products. caused a revolt jn 1874 ngainst thed power of the ** Grain Kinz.” The newly-formed Granzers' Associations protested, through their oflicers, against the monopoly ex- isting, and appointed the firm of E. E. Morgan’s “Sons as their sole agents. A pitter fight en- sued. E. E. Morran’s Sons were ruined, but their rival was lso criopled, and the subsequent suspension of the Bank of Californin having withdrawn_nis chief support, Mr. Friedlander was compelled to suspend in the spring of 1577, since which time his relative importauce in the trade has_been much diminisbed. In pol; 3 Mr. Friediander was an ardent Democrat, strongly imbued with Southern doctrines aud prejudices, but he never couzht or held public oflice, except as Water Commissioner, o posi- tion to which be was appointed Inst vear, sud which is rendered vacant by his death. He served, however, several terms as President of the Chinmber of Commerce. .- - : OTHER DEATIS. Special Dispatch to The Tribuné.

Ev- erett (** Hizhwood ™) published the following valuable contribution t0® the. literature of sun- stroke in the New York Zvening Post; and it is wow reproduced in the hope tuat it wil not only prove Interest bhuc that it may also stimulate investigation: ’ + Cases of the scrious and often fatal effects generally ascribed to solar heat, and commonly termed ‘sunstrolke,’ have become s numerous in the Northern States, and especially in New York City, that consicerable solicltude and' in- terest are wanifested by laymen as well as physicians, {n all that relates to this malady. Mcdical literature contains very little upon this subject, and many puysicians have frankly ad- mitted to the writer that their knowledie of tuic cagses and treatmentof sunstroke is very litnitee A O “These facls are my apology for publishing the details of o sinzlecase (and that my own) witieh, if_peculiar or. curlous, are also stiictly true. | While my experience may be of practical use to some paticnts of the same class, I trust that some competent physician may be induced to investizations in the saine direction, with o vizw to the prevention as well as treatment of tils malady. I hkave always heard sunstroke attriputed (o the effect of heat, solar or otler- wise, and the very definition of a synonynious term for these symptoms —*isolation '—Is ‘the cffect of extreme (solar) heatuvon the living system.’ T believe that'in some cases of *fnsolation, and in more cases of couvaleseence, & somewhat obscure cleinent of the sun’s power plays an important gart, Siz.: ectinism. »For my present puf; recall the Tact that in tie solar spectram cer- tain rays are recoznized as productive of heat, otners of light, while thcre are others which exert a powerfnl andiirapid jufluence upon various chemical combjnations, us in_photog- raphy, and are known gs the chemical or. e- tinic rays. SR ¢ 3Hine was a genuine case of sunstroke, oc- curring three vears ago, upona cool, cloudy day, carly in the forenoon, but following sev- eral davs of previous exhaustive heat and exer- tion. There was no perceptible determination of blood to the brain. but rapid and entire pros- tration of strength, and for ten subsequeot weeks (until October) T tould not bear the ravs of tne sunupon the head or upper spine under any ordinary protection, without an amediate recurrence of the original syinptoms. « Previous to the attaclk I nhad alw: borne the highest temperature and the hottest rays of the sun, bere and in the tropics. with absolute imounity. During these ten weeks. if at any time Getween sunrise and sunset, L allowed toe sun’s rays to fall upon my head for one secona, even though covered by a thick felt hat, I expe- Henced an instantaneous ' shock upon my brain, followed by prostration.and a scalding ‘sensa- tion at the top of my head. Isoon observed that during many cloudless, glaring days, with very high temperature, this peculiar influence of the solar rays upon my bead was less percep- tible, while it was at its maximugm when the sunlight was obscured ‘by clouds and a hazy atmosphere, with poorly-defined shadows, o5 in ‘August—dotr days.” L.speak now of the sim- ple cffect of the solar rays, unconnected with any other influcnce. “During an August evening of that summer 1 walked out barcheaded under a full moon, and to my astonishment felt the same influence #o ouickly and unpleasantly that I was com- pelled to return for my,iclt hat. This experi- ment I repeated several times, and always with the same result. It will be noted that the hat shich protected me from lunar influence was of no avail arainst the sun. . “Wnen I told my physician of the efect upon my brain of the moon’s rays. his compassionate reply revealed his conviction that my mind par- took of the iweakness of the brain, and that T was in more senses than'one a -lunatic.’ Per- haps this phenomena will: be explained further on. s “ After October I conld” cxpose myself frecly without any scusation of “discom(ort from the sun. though a very thick eap was necessars to protect the sensitive brain from _severe cold; but in March foliowing, during winter weather, the baleful power of the sun scemed to return, and for six_months my life was a running fight with the old enemy. As lone as I avoided the direct or reflected rass of the sun I felt well and could transact my business as usual; but a sin- gie touch of his wand paralyzed all nervous en- erwy. It was during this summer that I bezan to consider the peculiarities of the casc in carn- est, and to seek lor myself the cause and rem- edy I had failed to obtain from physicians. . "It was evident that the continnance of this abnormal condition of tny brain and nervous system was not due to heat alone, and I seri- ously doubt - whetber heat alone nroduced it. “During convalesteuce I often tricd exposure to artificial heat equal toiand exceeding that of the solar rays, without..inconvenience. The Junar influcnee was in,itself proof of a more obscure cause. R “Now, the lunar rays are very deficient in fl- luminating power, and -of so faint calorific puweras to be imperceptible by aay but the most delicate instruments. ‘But so strong Is the active influence of the luuar rays that larze and perfectly distinet phigtoxraphs bave Leen taken of the moon itselL., Of this fuct I was ig- noraut at the time I maad the experiments. “If excessive or long-continued heat Is the chief cause of iosolation, why are not sun- strokes common in_tne- Tropies, where the thermomneter reaches 110 degrces in the shade? There they are exceptiongl, aud there sre_an- pually more cases of sunstroka fn New York City than in all our Soathérn cities combined.

Dur- ing the past week’there must have been thou- sands in Chicago, Cincinnati, and St. Louis who bave repeuted the same expression scores of times, forzetting that-they bave said the same thing yearly for many summers past, and will probably repeat it for many to come. It is bu- man nature, in matters like this, to magnify all the puins of the present and male Jittle of those that are past and gone. There is anather great error very commonly entertained, of compara- tive climatology. “We otten hear that, even ex- cluding the extreme Soutl, the United States are subjcet to ereater periodical extremes of heat and Jeold than any country in Europe, That thi a great mistake will be evident if wa examine some of the recorded observations of.the hot summers in Eurove, beehmlnfi. for instance. with the hot summer in France io the ever-momorable year 1703, when Louis XVI. and Marle Antoiuctté and 8o many other victims of the Reign of Terror perished upon the guillo- tine. ‘The heat began on the 1st of July, and rapidly increased with a lizht northern wind and a high vorometer. ‘The hottest day at Paris, of the thirty-six during which the ex- treme temperature prevalled, was the 8th, when the thermometer reached 1011 des and by the 16th of August it had only eunk to 90.1 der. On the 1ith of July, at Val- ence, the bizhest point was 104 deg., and at Chartres, from the 8th to the 16th_of August, 100 der. were dally excecded. During this period all pature seeined intensitied. At Seulis Dailstoues as larze us cges dostroyerl the crons, and a furious wind-storm blew down the houses. The Seine fell to a lower watermark than bad been known since 1719, and at Paris the total =ainfall for the year was but 10.9 inches. ‘The summers of 1800.1811, and 1823 wero ot nearly all over Europe. At Auesburg in 1811 the thermometer marked 99.5 dex.; at Vicnna, 96.3 der.; at Copcnbagen, 92.8 dee.: at St. Petersburg, S8 deg. ; and at Hamburg and Naples a fraction over Sides. In 1823 the max- imum of temperature fo_France was 101.8 dess. at Malines; 95 deg. at Licge, aod 92.8 deg. at Paris. There was a-great drouth in the land. In the South water w: carried for long distances upon thi backs of mules, and nearly . al the straw in the wheat-ticlds of Lanzuedoc was burned up, although the ears In the extraordi- narily early " barvest were very generally well filled. The next very hoby sumnmers wera those of the yoars 1520, '3+, 86, %2, and 4G, when the thermometer at Toulouse. in France, on the 7th Teached 104 deg, and in Quimper 100.4 deg. In this year 8 number of deaths by sunsiroke took place in maoy parts of the country. oo The years 1319 an@ 1852 were phenomenal in the records of hot summers. -~ The hizhest tem- perature in the shade ever till then registered fn France was that of Orange in 49, with 106.5 detr., aud from Metz to Toulouse the range was from 92dex. to 9.7 deg.

The Board of Heulth has published the fol- lowlng rales for the care of children during the hot season: . NURSING OF INFANTS. . Over-feeding does more harm than anything else; nurse an infant & mouth or two old every o or three hours. Nurse an infant of six months and over five times in twenty-four hours, and no more. 1If an infant is thirst, give yit pure water or barley-water; 1o suear, 2 On tie hottest davs a few drops of whisky may be ‘added to either water or food: thie whisky not to exceed a teaspoonful in twenty- four hours. FEEDING OF ISFANTS. Boil a teaspoonful of powdered - barley (zround in cofice grinder) and a gill of water, with s little sait, for filtecn minutes, strain, then mix it sith half as much boiled milk, add alump of white sngar size of a walout, and Zive It Inkewarm, from o narsing bottte.

For infants five or six months old, give half barley water and hulf boiled milis, with salt and alump of sugar. For older infants, water. For infants very costive, give oatmeal instead of barley. * Cook and strafn gs before, When your breast-mils is only half enouzh, change off between breast-milic and this pre- pared food. In hot weather, 1€ blue iitmus paper, applied to the food, turns red, the food is too acid. and you must male a fresh mess, or add a small pinch of baking soda. Jufants of 6 monthis may have becf ‘tea or beef soup once 2 day, by l(sclfl’ or mixed with other food; and, wiren10or 12 months old, a crust of bread and a piece of rare beef to suck.

THE RAILROADS. CAUGHT IN A TRAP. It wonld not be & very pleasant thing for Vanderbilt if "at the very moment when he thought he had reached the goal of his ambi- tion,—to control the entire railroadgystewn be- tween New York and Chicago,—he should find his fondess hopes dashed, and all- his work of the last few years undone and destroyed. And it really does begin to ook as it Vanderbilt had been beaten at bis owu game, because he bad, not the sagacity and shrewdaess of another rail- road magnate who was as ambitious as himself. ‘That other magnate, who is now said to be the destroyer of Vanderbilt's schemes, is npone other than ~the renowned Jay Gonld. Duriog the last week or two rumors have been prevalent that Jay Gould was buyiug, or had been buying, Lake Shore stock, and there was some ddnger of his getting control of the property. Not much notice was taken of these rumors, as ever since Vanderbilt got control of the Michizan Central all sorts of wild rumors had becn floating aronnd. But ves- terday a TRIBUNE reporter was shown a private letter by a prominent railroad munazer, which he Lad Just received from a promincut financial house in New York. In this letter it was posi- tively asserted that Jay Gould had obtalned control of the Lake Share & Michican Southern, and that application would be made to a court in Ohio within two weeks to. bhave a new electlon for Digectors. - It looks as it there was somcthing in this information, or elsc it could hardly have been given in such a direet manner. Besides it mnst bave been ob- served that the Erle, in which Gould has still & large, if not & controtling, Ynterest, has done nothfog whatever lo thwert Vanderbilt’s schemes, though they were caleulated to reduce the Erie to a simple local road without any in- dependent, outlet whatever. Even waen Van- derbilt showed his declre to get control of the Atlantic & Great Western, which bad been s close connection of the Erie for many years, the latter interposed no objectlon. It looked very queer, indecd, that’ two men with such active brains as Jay Gould and Hugh J. Jewett should allow themselves to be outwitted without a struggle oy Vanderbllt. Taey evidently knew what they were about. ‘They had the traps _well lala for Vanderbilt. and were confident he would be caught. “Lhat Gould was after the Lake Shore has been the prevailing idea in railway circles for mey years. This road is better suited than any otlerto carry out his favorite scheme of coctroling a contlouous line from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Lake Shore mukes_direct connection with the Erie at Buflalo, and owns jointly the same depot it thia city with the Chlcago, Rock Island & Pacitie. ‘The latter road is already coniroled by Jay Gould, and forms an excellent connec- tion with both the Kansas Paclfic and Union Pacitic Railrcads, with the former at Atchison over thie Southwestern Branch, and the other at Omaba over the main line. But Gould’s scheme to make the Eric a most formidable competitor with the New York Cen- tral does not stop bere. Ile evidently meaus to five that road another more northern outlet to Chicago, via the Grand Trunk. Mr. Gould stiil owns that portion of the Cacada Southern from Detrolt to Faycite, known as, the” Chicago & Canada Southern, which requires an extension of 110 miles to-Auburn, on the Baltimore & Ohio. This would give, the Grand Trunk the coveted outlet to Chicago, using the Chicago branch of* the Baltimore & Oliv from Auburn. 1o this way Vauderbilt would be wedged in by the Erie & Lake Shore Koads on the south and the Eric & Grand Trunk Roads on the north, and his new aveessions, the Canuda Southern and Michieun Central, would bardly prove - as valuable to him as he at first anticipated. Gould’s diplomacy is certainly ubservable in the faet that for several years past he has held the nost amlcadle reiatious with Vanderbitt. He | osa work of virtually presented him with tue Canada Sonth- ern, which was of no use to Gould as a cunnec- tion with the Erie, aud urged lim oa to buy the Michign Central fn order to make the Canada Soutliern a valuable piece of property. Gould could have had mno, other object for doing tils than to divert the attention of Vanderbilt from his real scheme, nawely, to et possession of the Lake Shore. Vanderbilt took the bait. . He had no iaea of Gould's desiens. So completely was he taken in thet he ‘speculated in Lake Shore stock upoun the advice of Gould, thus en- ubling the lutter to buy up the stock of this road. ° If the report is true that Gonld has secared control - of the Lake Shore, as staied above, there will be no prospect of carrying Vander- bilt’s favorite pooling scheme into effect, for he will have a_competitor who cannot very well enter into such a s:heme; nor would the scheme under such circumstances be proiitatle to Vanderbilt. There is cvidentty a sceret under- standing between Gould and {Garreit and the mansgers of the Grand Trunk. Eversthing in- gieates that shere will _be u furious contest for supremacy belween Vanderbilt and Scoit on one side, and Gould and Garrett on tie uther. THI: GENERAL TICKET AND PAS- SENGER AGENTS.
