McCoor’s Re.ease From DURANCE, AND Return HoMs.—Mike MeUool, the noblest “old Roman” of all who have appeared in the Ting fm this day and geveration, returned to the city yesterday morning, and re-established himself at his beadquarters, corner of Sthand Wash streets, which was crowded most of the day by the champion’s admiring friends and those anxious to get a look at the representa- tive of the modern P.R. Mike and Coburn were both released on the 6th, and went to Cincinnati on the same train, though notin company. From the time they turned their backs opon their prison—prison only in namé to them—tbey were antagonists, and inter- course between them ceased. Mike remained in Cincinnati a couple of days, during which, although Kindly treated by all men of gentie- manly instincts, he was pursued by his ene- mies. While walking on the street, some fel- low approached and iwsulted him. He told the man he wanted nothing todo with him, and shoved him oneside with the palm of his hand. For this, be states, he was arrested, but noth- ing came of it. The champion locks hale and hearty, weighs 245 pounds, and says he never felt better in his Lif Ting” to-morrow if his » He must see this thing out,” be avers; “ hes suffered and sacrificed too much to let it drop,” and only awaits the de- cision of McQueen, the stakeholder, to enter into arrangements for a definite settlement of the question as to who is the best man with Coburn. He will meet Joseph in Kentucky or anywhere else, on equal pone. but he never intends to leave the United States, and does not consider it Sdvisable to go to “another man’s dungbill to ficht him.” Mike has evi- dently “got bis back up,” and means to fight it out on any line where the chances are any- ways equal. From his manner, it would seem that a decided “unpleasantness” exists between Dimeelf and Coburn. and it 1s probable—how- ever much the practice may be at will never be arranged outside Tope. -St. Lowit Democrat, July 1. . ‘ERS’ STRIKE—Progress of the Moce- mnt tbe ers, whose ‘sockeantian sit are the pioneers of the eight hour moverent, and that should they “alts that movement must sort promise. that if the aurfke fall through.

Journal of Commerce.} The eflects and Weatment of sunstroke are weil andersteod im this country, where the malady is one of frequent occurrence—more frequent, probably, in the hottest months than many other part of the,world. Bat the cause of sunstroke is as yeta'mystery. The intense heat (merely as heat) of the solar rays is not the agent ot mischiet. The human body may be exponed to the Turkish bath of 140 degrees, and remain in it an hour without injury. This as & much higher range of heat than that of the atmosphere at which sunstrokes most often occurs, viz: from iW to 110 degreea(in the sup.) Men working in zine turnaces or tron foun- drirs, are subjected toa but they are uot prostrat the phenomena of the suustroke. The bum: Organization is fitted to endure @ much pitch of beat than any we have mamed. periments are recorded of men sitting quite comfortable i ovens while chickens were slowly browning by their side. Mow does it happen, then, thatat a temperature of the open air comparatively so low men melt away, as the popular saying is, with hea! The reason, we think, must be looked for in tbe chemicat character of the sun's rays. The bent of thesun differs from Sanz. other kind pt heat. as the JgeBt of the sun differs trom is other Kind of Light. This is a fact so. weil anoOwn as to need no demonstration. The effect of the sup's heat upon piants—as’ contrasted witb artificial Reat—is whe most familiar and perbaps the most striking illustration at band. All animate and inanimate taings are subject to precisely the same great laws of mature: amd the solar beat which Makes the dowaers drvop apd close their petals, as if to shnt ont the zzling rays, is Tot without its marvellous chemical effect upon the sensitive brain of man. The effect, we say, 18 chemical, just like the effect of @ poison. Stryehmine, cyanide of potassium, arsenic, Morphine and the other deadly drugs do -~ work more marked organic changes in the s tem than a sunstroke. The countenance of the victim is dark-colored and injected with blood, And & pcst-moriem examiyation discloses con- gestion of the brain, lungs and heart. Thes- are the eff cts, varying in degree, of the admin- istration ot poisons. ‘The chances of recovery from pojs ning are far better, if remedies are seascnably applied, than from sanstroke. The latter is almost always fatal with persons of delicate health or full habit. The fact of the peculiar chemical action ot the san rays upon the human system bemg once appreciated, nothing is easier than to es- cape sun-stroke. Keep out of the sun as mach ae possible. Do as the birds suid the beasts do, do as your imteliicent fellow creatures do in rid, Havanaor Permambuco—stick to the sbace as closely as you can during the hottest hours ofoursummer days But. if yourin- rense apd irrepressible Anglo-Sixon natare must drive you into the face of the sun, or if your decupation obliges such exposure, take au umbrella with you as a shield, or puta wet handkerchief or cabbage leaf or other protec- tion in your pat Drink but little ice water. est sparingly of fat meats, take duily baths, walk slow, talk slow, gesticulate gently, avoid politics and don’t get unduly excited tany thing what- ever, as you value your life, Tais is an oft- repented tale. It is the sage Advice of last year and the year beiore, and @ century back of that. But while torty peoplea day are dropping on the pavements around us and dying in an hour or two, we will not stand out for originality, out give the venerable counsel never known to ial. As to remedies, there ts no improvement that ‘we are aware of on the old ones. The applica- tion of ice to the bead and under the armpits, brandy and water or other stimulants adminis- tered internally, a mustard plaster on the stomach, vigorous chafing of the body, and es- pecially the bands and feet, fanning and plenty of air—these are restoratives efficacious where spythme is of avail. jut the great point és to Avoid a sunstroke, and to give our readers a few hints to that end is the object of this article. —$—$—$—___—_____ S7 Crimped chignops m large plaits and puffs are in favor for very dressy occasions.
