BECOND AN New York, Aug. 6.—The second annual Exhibition and Convention of the Photog- raphers’ A: ‘iation of America will be held in the American Institute Building, at Third avenue and -third street, beginning on the lth of this month and lasting for five days. The first Convention of the Associa- tion was held last year in Chicago, and at- tracted nearly 400 photographers from all parts of the country. The success of last year’s Convention v so decided that the list of members was Jargely increased, and the number of photographers expected at this month’s Convention is uot less than 300. ‘The sessions will be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC without entrance fee, and all persons inter- ested in the matter are invited to_be present. addresses will be made by Prof. Morton, on light and opties; by Dr. Kean, on artistic- anatomy; by Dr. Garrison, of Chicago, on chemistry; and by Thomas Gaflield, on glass. Many photographers .of2 note. will give accounts of new devices which have been used by them during the last year, and the experience of photographers with several novel and important processes willbe stated at length. ‘Lhe dry-plate gelatine, or in- stantaneous process, and the use of the electric light will be the chict of these topics considered. EVERY PHOTOGRAPMER WHO HAS SUC- CEEDED during the year in obtaining results which he deems of superior value will be invited to exhibit samples of his work and to plain the process.

The one department of the dry-gelatine_ process already extensively used_in New York, wil be the subject of several interesting se: These dry plates can now be made so sen- sitive that photographers do not despair of getting a good picture of a cannon ball in its flight. The Government officers at Willett’s Point recently succeeded perfectly 4n the following experiments: A mule which ‘iad outlived his usefulness was placed in , the middle of the field, and a torpedo was at- ‘tached to his girth. A wire ran to this tor- pedo and to the cover of a camera standing at the right distance. When all was ready, the same spark which exploded the torpedo Jifted the camera lid fora fraction of a sec- ‘ond, and an excellent picture was obtained ‘wot the pieces of mule flying through the air. THE TEMPERATURE. ANOTHER DAY OF TORTURING HEAT. ‘Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune New York. Aug. 6.—New York to-aay ex- ‘erienced another hot spell, but there was *this satisfaction about the atmospheric con- ditions: the mercury did not teil as stiff a story as on yesterday. Still the differ- ence in the actual degree of heat iwas too slight to be appreciable, “end was more than counterbalanced in effect by the generally superheated con- dition of the pavements and buildings. it ‘was dangerous to walk in the streets, and in the house there was little comfort. The xecord of prostrations is a large one to both man and beast, both dropping by the way- side in large numbers, and the surgeons in the hospitals were kept busy attending to unfortunate mankind. This was one of the days that empty New York and pour its populace out upon the sea Deach, at least such as are able to enjoy comforts of this kind, while the poorer * classes took their excursions on ferryboats and GOT ALL THE FRESH AIR POSSIBLE on the rivers. It was a sight to witne: ae Steamers plying between New York au Coney Island, every one of which was {reighted down with human cargoes.

While in New York the mercury reached 92, the thermometers at the Mari- hattan and the Oriental soothed troubled minds and BROUGHT JOY TO OVERHEATED FRAMES with the story of but 72. A. stiff sea-breeze prevailed all day, and, but for the memory of What they had left behind in the burning city, no New-Yorker would have dreamed that suminer had settled down at the sea- shore, But the breeze had found its way to the city even Tate in the evening, and lite was made endurable at midnight with a record of 76, and a realizing sensation that the oppressive heat had given way, not the forerunner of that ware from Manitoba, at least to the modifying intluences of an Atlantic wind.” The record of the day is as follow: 30 p.m., 9236p. m., $5; 9 pom., T9: 12 m., average temperature, 813¢; 2 ge tem- perature for corresponding date last year, 6917; average forthe week in 1980, 72; in oi NATATORIAL. AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRL TA A SWIM- MING TD Y YORK ARBOR, New York, Aug. 6.—The bathing ground at the foot of East Sixteenth street was yes- terday afternoon visited by several thousand people, assembled to- witness the swimming matches that took place there. The main attraction was the proposition that a little S-year-old girl would swim from One Hundred and Sixteenth street to Randall's Island and back. Only a very few of those present be lieved that achild so young could accomplish the tusk, and inany bets were made in con- sequence. 4 Little Emma Rosenheimer came tripping alongin her beautitul suit of red silk, em- broidered and trimmed with lace, red and white being her favorit. colors. the beat in which were her father and mothe: Mr. Fagan was'ta swim beside her and take eare of her if she became tired. A parting word from her mamma and she was of with adive. Her stroke was stronz and regular, both crossing and returning, and she searcely needed the caution from her watch- Tul father and attendant not to go too fast. She did not stop to rest on reaching the Island, the time being eleven minues, but turned immediately and made the return trip in ten minutes, amid applause from the spec- taturs in boats and on the shore. She then performed several difficult and pretty move- ments. She beat the time ot the ladies who had gone over the same course by several aninutes, — Her prize was a handsome chatelaine watch. a LLOGG. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.

For some time past. but more particularly within a few days, there have been Jarge purchases up into millions of old United States 5 per cent coupon bonds, not extend- ed, at 10143. These bonds are called in for August 12, and, on that date will be worth, principal and interest, 101.40, and while there is an apparent loss iu these transaction there is areal profit when the whole affair is explained, Some parties here, including prominent National banks, put in a request to have alarge amount of bonds extend- ed, which? request — the Department granted, although the bonds were not de- posited at the time. ‘The large purchase: juded to are to complete the delivery of these bonds by Aug. 12,.or, in other words, to cover up short interest on the old ds. ‘Lhe parties making these operations sold the ex- tended 5s to 102 and upwards, and, as_it will now be seen, have made quite a profit.

Across the Peninsula of Maryland and Delaware. Dispatch to Cincinnati Enqutrer, BaALtimonn, Md., Aug. ‘The long-con- templated scheme of shortening the distance from the Port of Baltimore to the Atlantic Ocean by the construction of a canal across the peninsula of Maryland and Delaware is now pri ally assured. The great work will be built with the least possible delay, and mainly by the aid of foreign capital. The route selucted, several having been surveyed by the Government with a view of obtaining Congressional aid, is known as the S: fras Route, extending from the Chesapeake Bay along the Sassafras River toa point of di- vergence, where it turns almost «ue east to the headwaters of Blackbird Creek, and thence along that stream to the Delaware River. ‘The Jana-cut trom tide to tide is only eight miles, and the estimated cost of the work is 38,000,000.

The great ad- vantages to the Port of timore and the West by the construction of this inter- oceanic highway will be fully appreciated when it is known that it will shorten the dis- tance to the ocean and consequently to all foreign ports about 225 miles. Among foreign capitalist D the enterprise is regarded. with great favor as a profitable venture, and one that will yield a good return for the out- lay. Of course, in the West the news of the success of the long-talked-of scheme will be hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by mer- chants and business-men generally. WIRE UNDERGROUND. The Plan by Which Philadelphia Proposes to Grapple With the Prob- lem. PurLaDErpia, Aug. 5,.—Next week the National Underground Electric. Company will commence work laying telegraph wires under Market street, from Delaware to Tenth streets, and Third and Fourth streets, from Market to Chestnut streets, to connect with the Western Union Telegraph: Company’s wires. An ordinance of the Council gives the company the right to lay wires from Dela- ware to Schuylkill, but that will not be done for some time yet, or until a shorter distance is proved to be a success. Conduits will be laid in trenches three feet deep, and the wires will be rolled into insu- lated cables. It was first intended to use terra cotta pipes to protect the wires, but a conduit of artiticial stone, patented by Mr. Calvin Detrich, of this city, was found to be much better for the purpose. The conduit is made of insulating mutterial, and is about eight inches square, being punctured by twelve tubes for holding the cables, two pneumatic tubes, fifty-four — ordinar: telegraph wires, and — two _ electric light wires. The insulating substance is protected by a covering of artificial stone, sitnilar to that used in making block pavement. This covering is two and a half inches thick, and is impervious to heat and dainpness, and it is an insulating substance also, The latter has been tested to the tem- perature as low two. degrees below zero, and was not atfected Se Itis intended to lay the conduit in a con- tinuous mass, Without joints. In laying it the sheet-iron tubes, about one inch in di- ameter, are placed in the frame, and the in- sulating material poured around it. The bottum and sides of artificial stone having be put down, the tubes remain in and the will be drawn through by pneumatic pressure.

Poe RANA CHICAGO. ‘Trade and social Telatigns have once more been established between Chicago and the Manitoba wave, and the sultry, oppressive weather of the past week has given place to a condition of things such as usually follows in the wake of the aerial visitor from the Northwest. The small hours of yesterday morning were ushered in to the accom- paniment of a brisk combination of lightning, thunder, and rain, the effect of which was clearly perceptibly in the cooler and even delightful morning — air. People who had experienced for several nights the greatest difficulty in getting to sleep no longer tossed on restless pillows, but sank into deep, quiet, refreshing slum- bers, from which they awakened with only one rezret—that the period of repose was all tvo short.

ANNA DICKINSON. Talk so Plain that a Quaker Lady Pub- Mecly Prays for Her Conversion. Dispatch to New York Times. Ocean Grove, N. ¥., Au —Miss Anna Dickinson threw a decidedly explosive bomb- shell into the temperance camp here to-day, but fortunately nobody was hurt, and as the wreck of gussips’ criticism it occasioned cleared away, she was acknowledyed the victor of the tleld. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union wus in session, and Mrs. Hunot,of Boston, had answered one of the queries taken from what is known as the “inquiry box.” The question was, “What can be done to reclaim falten women?" On the temperance side of the-ques- tion Mrs. Hunt tuok the ground that women have less power of physical recuperation than men, and when they fall, in most cuses they full beyond reclumation. The drift of the remarks allthe morning had been unfavorable to the ability or expediency of women refurming other wowen. Miss Dickenson, who was in the audience, aruse and tvok up the subject in a masterly manner. It wus soon whispered about who the speaker was, und she curried the audience with her from tho first. “Lam ot # temperance advocate,” she said, “but [ can tell you that Womun's proper work is with ber sisters and not with men. You fail where you can do tho most. ‘The wontan who has “nothing to do: the giddy, fnsbionable creature woo learns to tipple with refinement; the womn who lus too much to do; your Inundress who docs a duy’s work in getting ber husband's breakfast and attending to her chilaren betore she tunics in the morning; these, as well as the woman who drinks. to drown despair, are the ones who need, but do not receive, your minis- trations.
