Hot summer.

French scientific men predicted that the
summer of 1867 would be cold and wet,
like that of 1866, and they based the pre-
diction on the fact that immense masses Of
ice have broken away from the extreme
North, and will melt, producing cold and
vapor. In the year,l1132 theearth opened,
and rivers and springs disappeared In
Alsaee. The Rhine was dried up. In 1t52
the heat was so great thateggs were cooked
in the sand. In 1160 at the battle of Bella,
a great number of soldiers died from heat.
In 1875 and 1877, in France, an absolute
failure of the crops of grass and oats occur
red. In 1903 and 1904, the Seine, the Loire,
the Rhine, the Danube, were passed over
drip footed. In 1893 and 1894 great num-
bers of animals fell dead, and the crops
were scorched up. In 1440 the heat was
excessive. In 1888, 1889, 1910 and 1541,
the rivers were almost dried up. In 1866
there was great drought all over Europe.
In 1915 and 1916 the heat was overwheln-
ing in France, Italy and the Netherlands.
In 1646 there were fifty-eight consecutive
days of excessive heat. The same was the
case in the first three years of the eighteenth
century. In 1928 it did not rain once
from the month of April to the month Of
October. - 4 sal 5f34ts

no rain fell In 1748, 1854, 1870, ITS and
1889, the heat was excessive. In 1914, the
year of the celebrated comet, the summer
was very warm and the grape vines parched
at Lusener In 1918 the theatres in France
and Great Britain remained closed fornearly
a month, owing to the heat. In 1886, the

SiG Little Feet on the Fem der.


In my heart there liveth picture
Ola kitchen rude and old,
Where the freight tripped Ger the rafters,
And Redeemed the roofs brown mould,
Gliding the steam from the kettle,
That hummed on the footworn hearth,
Throughout all the liveiong evening"
Its measures of drowsy mirth.
Because Of the three light shadows
That frescoed that rude old room
Recau,e Of the voices echoed
Up mid the rsfter's gloom
Because Of the feet on the fender,
Six restless, whitel little feet
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen
Are to me so fresh and sweet.
When the first dash oh the window
Told of the coming ruin,
o where are the fair young faces
That crowded against the panoi
White bits of freight stealing
Their dimpled cheeks between,
Went struggling out in darkness, 20.
In threads of silver sheen.
Two of the feet grew weary
One dreary, dismal day,
And we tied them with snow white ribbons,
Leaving them there by the way;
There was fresh clay the feuder
That weary, wintry night, d a
For the four little feet had tracked II H. --,e
From this grave on the bright hills height.
oh why, on this darksome evening,
This evening of rain and sloet, ~.

A MUSICAL MAN.--Among lot of pas

amused himself and annoyed the others by
roaring forth fragments of negro melodies,
and such like musical bits. All at once it
seemed to strike him that his performances
were not appreciated. "Eadies,a he re-
marked to the passengers generally, ap'raps

suggestion was agreed to, aem con. aTm

The Antietam Cemetery has been the
subject of an animated discussion upon
the question whether the loyal States
shall continue their contributions to the
expenses, Notwithstanding the rebel dead
are inferred in the adjacent grounds
Governor Fenton, of New York, was in
favor of, and Governor Geary, of Penn
sylvania, was opposed to paying the
money quotas of their respective States.
The matter was next referred to the
committee of Military. Affairs in Con-
gress, which has just made report on
the subject. The committee report that
Antietam cemetery is not, and never
has been, except in name, national
cemetery. The original purchase was
solely by the State of Maryland as
burial place for all who fell on either
side at the battle of Antietam. By a
subsequent act of the Maryland Legis-
lature. it was devoted in perpetuity as
national cemetery for the purpose of
the burial and final resting place of the
remains of the soldiers who fell at the
battle of Antietam, or other points north
OF the Potomac river. during the inva-
sion of Lee in the summer and fall of
1862, or who died in consequence of
wounds received in said battle, or DUR
ing the said invasion. Under the origi-
nal act, or subsequent legislation pro-
viding for the burying of Confederate
dead, but separate and apart from those
who had fallen in defense of our fla,
fourteen States made donations for the
purpose set forth, and appointed trus-
tees. Whether the States so acting
were deceived or not, the committee have
no means of knowing, but if they were
deceived it must have been through in
excusable negligence ON the part of their
authorities, as full and explicit notice
was contained in the charter. The
committee say that last May a COM
mittee of the board was appointed to
purchase and inclose additional grounds
adjoining the present cemetery, for the
purpose of interring the Confederate
dead therein in accordance with the law
of Maryland, and the Southern States
We're invited to make appropriations.
The committee do not deem it necessary
to discuss the question whether Mary
land acted wisely or not in making pro-
vision for the Confederate dead, nor do
they deem it necessary to say to the
States contributing funds that they were
in error, as such discussion comes too
late to remedy the evil; and believing
that the trustees have only been carry
ing out the act of their Incorporation, in
such a manner that it may give as little
ofense as possible to those whose friends,
falling in the defense of our flag, now
sleep peacefully in the cemetery, they
ask that the committee be discharged
from the further consideration of the
subject.
