The Heated Term.

Yesterday, for the first time in tour weeks,
gave some indications of at least partial lie:
up of the excessive heat that has now prevail
ed with a short interruption in June, for near
ly three months. The heated term common
ced early in May, the weather growing hotter
and hotter until about the middle of June,
when the thermometer reached one day l02
deg in the shade. Then there was shower
followed by two or three days Of moderately
cool weather, which were succeeded by Sec
ond heated term, lasting nearly five weeks
during the latter part Of which the thermom-
eter for ten days rose each day to 100 in the
shade. anu from last Friday to Tuesday went
up to lO5 in the shade. This latter is said to
be the hottest weather ever known in this
latitude The term has also been remarkable
In the fast that We have two heated terms in
the same season, said to be very rare occur.

The War in Europe.


There is still no fighting to report, except
some triiiing outpost skirmishing, between
the two great hostile armies gathering on the
Rhine; nor, from present appearances, viii
there be much ioh,;ng for several weeks to

be credited. it is doubtful whether France and
Prussia will lock horns II, but both may
unite their vast military force to crush the ba-
lance of Europe In short, the London 1Twes
of Tuesday publishes the rrQiet OF asecret treaty
it alleges Napoleon has offered to Prussia, and
which there was a probability Of the lsttcrs
accepting By this treaty an alliance, Often
sive and defensive, is formed between France
and Prussia. Napoleon recognizes the accui-
sitions of Prussia irom Austria the Prussian
king agrees TO aid the French in absorbing
Belgium. and Prussia is allowed to swallow
the South German States. OfcOurse, i:France
and Prussia have come to such an understand
ing not only England, but all the rest Of Eu-
rope stands tearfu!ly menaced. Such a cOali-
ton would utterly destroy the "balsnce Of
power" which has always been the object Of
so much solic;tulc. and leave all the lesser
powers wholly at The mercy of these two TN
scrupulous cOnspiratOrs
The excitement in England, on the appear
ancc Of the Times on Tuesday with this reve.
lation, was tremendous. 1t accompanied the
publication with such proofs ofthc genuine
ness of the paper as to leave little room for
dodbt There was one flaw, however. which
materially affected the importance Of the dec
ument, when it became more closely scrutin-
lied. and that had reference to its date The
decided probability seems to be, that this trea.
ty was proposed n 1866, and though not then
entered into, it led to peaceful solution at
the time of the disagreement between France
and Prussia in reference to Luxembourg.

sral, but is putting her army rapidly on q va.

Prussia and the u. s.

There is no need that TIC pcople of the l..

cited over the bio, ogle about to
open between the leading powers in Europe
There is little doubt but tha, the motives of
the contcnding maiestieE Oh both sides are
sufficiently grOvellng to entitlc both to the
hearty eXecration of mankind. especially if il
should prove true that Napoleon proposed,
and Prussia seriously considered, the secret
treaty TO which the London 75mes has lust
given publication, Blu! on the part of por-
ton Of our press in the l.. S. it is claimed
that this country ought to favor France in
this contest cue of grateful! recollection OF
what France did for the L. S. in 1876, during
our death.struggle with England. As suf-
icient offset to that might be contrsstcd the
bearing of Prussia with that of France to-
wards this country during our death-struggle
from 1861 to 1865. In 1865 Bismark said to
our minister, "The tory party in Prussia. to

OTTAWA FREE TRADER: SATURDAY, JULY 3d. 1870.
Infallibilitv.


The telegraph finally states that the dogma
of infallibility has been proclaimed at Rome
with sufficient positiveness and detail of cir
eumstance to challenge eur belief that for once
Oh this subject the cable dispatches have told
the truth.
Lit is bad business for the Pope, and bad
business for the Church Of Rome, as both
pope and church will be ready enough to
own, when they come to read the crushing
commentary which the PRONUNCIATION of this
dogma he's evoked from the Ottawa Republi-
can. Thai high authority, to which of course
an eCumenical council Of the church can hold
but the comparison Of rush light to the sun,
states point blank, that the assumption of the
infallibility Of the Pope of Rome I" is at va,
rance with every principle Of human reason
ing" and individually, CONTRARY to the de-
Clared views contained in the New TeSta-
ment." That settles it and of course nobody
having access to the luminous columns Of the
paper in question, can be humbugged by the
extravagant pretensions of the pope and his
bishops in conclave at Rome.
Yet anent this subject of ''infallibility," ia
there really now no such thing recognized or
consistent with "humnn reason ?" There is some
thing in the New Testament about the followers
of Christ being led into AL truth" and about
what they "bind on earth being bound in heav.
en-" &c. We can conceive of no church organ.
ization that has not final appeal Of some sort on
questions of doctrine The Methodists have their
general conference; the Presbytsrians their gen.
erAl assembly. and the Congregationalists their
congregation or church. When either of these
tribunals Of final appeal make decision, is there
supposed to BE- nothing iniallible about it, When
the Baptist congregation, for instance, after q
careful examination Of the scriptures, comes
to the conclusion that immersion is e..
sential to salvation has the Baptist no
idea that such decision is infallble! The
truth is, there is 10 church without its pope,
whether that pope be the bishop of Rome, or
the majority vote Of the 800 popes that make
up the Methodist General Convention, or the
% popes that make an infallibility decision on
a point Of doctrine in a Congregational or
Baptist church meeting. Sterne says every
man has ga pope in his own belly" and the
saying is certainly true, unless the man recog-
nizes his pope in the bishop Of Rome or in
the majority vote OF a general conference or
church meeting.

But it is twenty years. at least, since ve had

in the Wenona Iadec that the milk SICK ness

the cattle were compelled to seek the timber
to find water and heritage, that the disease
was want to dcvclopc itself most tearfllly.
