STIEOHES.

An article in the New York journal Of
Commerce describes the mystery which as
sociates itself with the cause of sunstroke,
which cannot be the intensity Of the suns
heat, as the human body ondures, without
injury, a much greater quantity. Worklnen
in certain eases are exposed to ten degrees,
and sometimes higher temperature, than
that at which sunstrokc is produced, with
out visibly affecting their health some have
indeed sat in heated ovens unharmed while
animal food was cooked at their sides. How
then is it that men will comparatively melt
away with heat in the open air? To this
question the article mentioned makes an
swer as follows:--
"The reason, we think, must be looked
for in the chemical character of the suns
rays. The heat OF the sun differs from cV-
cry other kind of heat, as the light of the
sun differs from every other kind Of light.
The effect Of the suns heat upon plants-as
contrasted with artificial heats the most
familiar and perhaps tie most striking il
lustration at hand. All animate and inani-
mate things are subject to precisely the
same great laws of nature; and the solar
heat which makes the flowers droop and
close their petals, as if to shut out the daZ-
Zling rays is not without its marvellous
chemical effect upon the sensitive brain of
man. The effect is chemical-just like the
effect of a poison. Stryclnine, cyanide of
potassium, arsenic morphene, and the other
deadly drugs do not work more marked
organic changes in the system than a sun
stroke. The countenance of the victim is
dark-colored and injected with blood, and
n post mortem examination discloses con-
gestion of the brain, lungs and heart. These
are the effects, varying in degree, of the
administration of poisons. The chances of
r.. l...st
remedies are seasonably applied, than from
sunstroke. The latter is almost always fa-
tai with persons of delicate health or full
habit"
This peculiar chemical action of the suns
rays on the human body being appreciated,
prevention follows rs primary object, and
keep out of the sun, if possible, should be
standing rule. But where this is not pos
sible, keep as much in the shade as you can.
Should exposure be necessary, an umbrella,
a wet cloth or cabbage leaf on the head are
excellent preventives of sunstroke. Drink
but little ice-water, eat sparingy of fat
meats, take daily baths, walk slow, talk
slow, gesticulate gently, avoid politics, and
don't get unduly excited about anything
whatever as you value your life. This is
the sage advice of last year and the year be-
fore, and a century back of that. But while
people are dropping on the pavements, and
dying in an hour or two, it is needless to
stand out for originality. AS to remedies
there is no improvement on the old ones.

der the armpits, brandy and water or other
stimulants administered internally, a mus

Besides Clara was the best writer, the
best singer, the best dialogue-maker of the
whole school. She was necessary TO the
brlliancy Of the anniversary.
The principal decided to adopt the Judges
suggestion, and provide the outfit at her
own expense. But no sooner was this de-
cided upon, than the Judge wrote by ox-
press, protesting that his daughter should
net wear white at all, and that he was COM

Among all the queens of the Swiss and
null, the rustic belle was the observed of
observers. She was really the handsomest,
merriest, and most sparkling creature in
the room.
And what was sadly provoking to the
principal, there sat Judge Clinton, in his
suit of homespun, by the side of old Mr..
Vennet, upon the platform, availing him
self of every opportunity to tell the whole
story connected with the calico garment,
and turning the confused teacher to ridi-
cule.
At last it came TO the distribution of priz-
es, and that for exemplary conduct and cor
rect rectations was awarded to Miss Clara
Clinton.
If Judge Clinton did not make a speech
on that occasion, it was because Mr.. Ven
net did. AS the address was fully report
ed at the time of its delivery, we will not
report it here, but simply refer to that part
of it which relates to our heroine:
81 am happy" said Mr.. Vennet, "that
this prize has fallen to the daughter of my
friend, Judge Clinton of Clintonville. She
is worthy daughter of worthy sire. She
may well be proud to have received this
token of her teachers appreciation, for she
won it under peculiar and trying circum-
stances. Young ladies, do not forget that
though you are beautiful when adorned,
you are more attractive, more intellectual,
more self-reiiant, while you remain satis-
ed with what Providence has placed at
your disposal"

THE ANNUAL Cost OF A NATIONS LIQ-
uoR.-The New York Examiner has COM
piled a curious table, comparing the c-st of
liquor sold by retail in this country dur
ing one year. Mr.. Wells, in his report for
the fiscal year ending June Both, 1867,
shows that the cost of liquor to tho con-
sumers, that il the value OF the retail liq-
uor trade, las deduced from the receipts OF
the internal revenue" reaches the sum of
81, ,4s3, i9l S65, that is, fortythree dollars for
every man woman and child in the coun-
try. 1t is more than one-eighth the entire
annual sales of the merchandise of the
country, more than the entire product of
the precious metals from all that region
west of the Rocky Mountains for twenty
years, which il estimated by j. Ross
Browne at Sl,l65, 100000. 1t is nearly ten
times the value of all the church property
of the United States, given in 1850 by the
census as Sl9l, ,39S, $50. II is more than one
half the national debt.

Of Virginia.
There are in the twin cities of Norfork

community as are New York and Brooklyn,
eleven banks and banking houses; but such
IS the demand for currency for moving the
cotton crops; and other purposes, that it is
no uncommon thing for checks to be held
over for several days on account of the alb

them. Ten-tuld of the banking capital now
commanded in these two cities could be

TnADDEus STEVENS RECOMMENDS BEN WADE.
The following letter has been made public :

WASHINGTON, March &c, 1868
My Dear Sir: received your letter OF the
oath inst this morning, and am glad you
intend to he at Chicago personally. Ii your
constituents and mine have indicated pre-
ference for Vice President, as / rather think
they have, from their vote, should deem it
your duty as matter of personal fidelity, to
begin by voting for that person, whether he
he a friend of mine or not. No man seems
to me justified in violating the wishes of his
constituents to please any other person, but
ii the person thus indicated as their first
choice should fail of a probability of cleo
ton, or gradually decline, then, If were
there, or my wishes were to be consulted, !
should use all of my efforts in favor of b. +.
Wade. He is true man, in whom you and
and every radical man can confide, and you
will find that the country, Us well as our
particular friends, will profit by his success.
wish you would show this letter to your
colleagues. ! shall be kept from the con
vcntion, and desire to see an honest man
placed in that position of great contingent
responsibility as to the candidate for the
Presidency. presume you all agree that
none other than General Grant is to be
thought of. Honest, firm and well indoc-
trinatcd in principle, without ostentation
and without bride, do not well see how a
better selection can be made. His judgment
of men is SO sound that have full faitl
that he will call around him the ablest and
purest men of the nation. With Grant ant
Wade TO guide and defend us, this nation, in
four years, will have acquired prosperity
which will be the wonder Of the world
Universal freedom maintained by universe
suffrage, on this continent, cannot fail tc
have that effect Very respectfully,
THADDEUs STEVENS.
