Ye Dixon, of the Des Moines State Regis
ter, thus describes the weather in that lati-
tude on Friday last:
HoT.-The mercury in the thermometers
ranged yesterday as high as ninety degrees
in the shade. When the sun was at meri-
dian, putting in its handsomest ticks, we
peregrinated about q mile and ahalf or two
miles. Blazes but wasn't it hot ! All ami
NAL life, bipedal, quadrupedal, centipedalI
fea, flesh an fowl, caught the kindly shelf
t. of some neighborly root, or root, or
tree. The double Ss bic back action, arsicia!
street did its duty creditably; but as one
swallow does not make q summer, so one
twO-h0rse waterproof doesn't stand instead
of q first-class thunder shower, and the
heating, sweltering, blistering process went
on. Heat has its uses. 1t IL good for ado
lescent chickens and unregenerate Butter
nuts; but considering that we have not
reached the middle Of the month of June,
and that the dog days are yet to come, we
could be easily reconciled ts have the tenn
perature drawn good deal more conserv-
atively. If we were Salamanders, the case
would be different, but as we are free
American citizens, we are sensitive on this
subject.
The Masonic Grand Lodge, lately in ses-

The Keosaqua Republican says that some
thirty or forty of the Copperhead brethren
of Van Buren, county assembled them
selves at the court house. on Saturday last,
land in q very melancholy manner, and as
silently as circumstances would admit,
proceeded to choose its share of bereaved
brethren to attend the meeting at Dez
Moines, to make arrangements for the fu-
neral Of what is left of their party" The
Republican further adds, that the pail
bearers will be chosen in due time, when
the thing will be inferred, with Copperhead

The Dubuque Times starts out thus, in an
article on the Fremont farce at Cleveland
Not even q Presidential nomination by
the smallest clique Of Abby Kelly Foster
ultras that ever assembled in the Golden
time, long ago. fell so perfectly dead and
still-born as the recent announcement for
that high position Of Maj. Gen. John G.
Fremont. The only hearty response that
the doings Of the Cleveland impracticables
has yet evoked, Is from the Copperaead
press.
The Times closes with this paragra ph:
Not one of the great organs of public
sentiment, either in the East or West, sup
ports him. He gets no assistance from the
New York Tribune, Times or Eoeniag Post,
Philadelphia Press, Cincinnati Ga-ette, st.
Louis Democrat, or in fact from any Of the
honest, radical papers of the country. His
course meets no cordial response from
loyal men. The people are for and with
Old Abe, and they will give him such an
endorsement as will complete the extin-
guishment OF the pretentious Pathfinder,
who has so etfectual.y begun that work for
himself
We are glad the Times has discovered
that the s'peopie are for and with Old Abe y
AS well as the politicians. Eyes-right!

The Lyons Mirror says that Fury, the
editor of the Constitu.ionalist, is in fury
lis kept in state of suspense, Through a
tear Of having his Office mobed by soldiers
who are at home on furlough. IA guilty
conscience needs no accuser." 1.-THE
wicked dee when no man pursueth." These
poor Copporhead editors have an awful
time. What . hell must each have in his
bosom! We fear there is no Saving gace''
for them. However, a. long a. there is
''life," there Il ''hope."
The vinton Edgle has this to say OF the
Fremont soreheads:
The CLEVELAND NoMINAT1oNs.-At the
