How to Prevent Eunstr0ke.
As We are soon to experience heated term,
the following specific against sunstroke may
save from Illness aud death many whose occupa-
ton obliges them to be in the field or out upon
the streets
."About year since I aaw in newspaper an
account Of case Of sunstroke, written BY the
party himself. After suffering . long time from
the attack, and having to considerable degree
recovered, he experienced suffering even from
the rays of the moon. This led him to the re-
Election that it was not altogether the heat OF
the sun that produced proetration. After much
research, he discovered that the injury came
from the chemical ray, and not from the
heat ray. He was guided to this BY observing
the fact that photograph could not be
taken through hollow glass; Accordingly Ne
lined his hat With two lnings-one of orange
yellow 10 arrest the chemical ray, and one OF
green to arrest the heat ray. Thus prepared, he
went where the rsye Of the sun we're most IN
tense with perfect impunity. 1t is well known
that tho negro is seldom or never sunstinck-
The color Of his skin over the skull being OF the
o1ange-yelloW may aaaist In accounting for the
fact" I Ipracticed upon this suggestion all last
summer, lined my hat with green and orange
yellow paper, and had confidence enough IN the
truth OF the theory to neglect my umbrella,
which I had never done before. mentioned II
to many, who tried it also, and in many cases
that came under my observation they uniformly
asserted that the oppressive heat OF the eun
upon the head MAS much relieved"

There are no facts In Mr. Fo1ster'8 narrative
to prove that Mr. Dickens ever Was An educated
man, and all the testimony OF his works Is
against the supposition- No trait Of his genius
ID moro salient than its entire seH-dependence;
no defects Of it are more marked than his 1ntol-
erauce OF subjects which he did not understand,
and his high-banded dogmasic treatment OF mat
ters which he regarded with the facie contempt
OF ignorance. This unfortunate tendency Was
fostered by the atmosphere Of dattery IN which
he lived; life which, in the truly educational
sense, Was eingula1ly narrow and, though ne
was not entirely to blame for tho extent, It n
vantage. As novelist he is distinguished; as
hunorist he Is unrivaled in this age; but when
he deals with the larger spheres OF morals, with
politics, and with tho mechanism Of State and
Official fife, he is absurd. He announces truiams
and t1itenesses with an air Of discovery inposs-

an air Of conviction, hardly provoking, 1t Is

problems which have long pe1p1exed the

Yesterday afternoon Coroner keenan, received
Information that Augustus Minert druggist in
the New York Dspensary, corner Of Centre and
White streets, had been found lying dead ON the
moor OF his room, situated On the third story of
the Dspensary, where he slept alone. Later IN
the day the Coroner and his Deputy, Wooster

the body Of Mr.. Minert IN nearly q nude
state on the nOoT as stated CON the table
near the body was an empty uncorked bottle
labelled "Prussic Acid, y by the side OF which
pair OF scissors, which evidently had been used ma
opening the bottle This fact Increased the sus.
pclon previously existing that deceased had died
by his own hand. Upon making inquiries the Coro.
ner learned that Mr.. Minert, thorough druggist
ana AN educated man, came 20 tins country from
Germany some ten years ago, most or which time
since he had held an app 1intment IN the New York
Dispensary, where he gave fun satisfaction. For
year or Two past Mr.. Minert had been troubled with
Inflammation OF the stomach and irritation 81 the
throat, which had tendency to make him low
spirited ana respondent lie had been
heard to say that he wished he was
cease to exist. Quite recently Mnert remarked 10
Mr. Moore, the assistant druggist, that he would
soon be his successor ana Ia reply was told he had
lease OF life for many years 10 come.
Mr. Minert was much attached 10 a young Ger
man lady living IN Westminster county, and no
trouble Is known to have existed between them.
The TACT, however, that the lady In question was
about leaving for Omaha To reside pcrma-

him. He retired to rest as usual on Friday night,
feeling more than usually cheerful. but a. he failed

bid which proved TO be the lowest Of all
that were made. The committee have 40 re-
ported to Congress, and the joint resolution
recommending that the contract be awarded

faith, offered good and sufficient bonds for the
performance Of the contract, which We are
abundantly able to execute. 1t does not seem
TO us necessary to make any further remarks
upon the subject. There arc great many
Idle and silly rumors in the air, which have
no more foundation In fact than one half the
stories which the malicious will circulate the
Idle talk about and the unthlnking believe.

The bill to prescribe the duties OF the chief
0f the Bureau Of Statistics passed the House
yesterday. 1t provides for the collection Of
such statistics In regard to railroad, cana',
telegraph and Insurance companies as will
present full exhibit Of their condition and
operations. 1t also provides for the Collcc-
ton Of statistics In regard to wages and the
countries, the Wholesale prices Of leading
articles Of merchandise In our principal
markets; the extent Of our internal trade, and
the quantities, values and kinds Of merchan-
disc transported by railroad, canal, lake and
river, rs well As that transported coastwlsc,
from one port to another within the United
States.
The proposed statistics In regard to rail-
road, telegraph aud insurance companies will
DO Of especial value at the present time In
view Of the great public interest now felt In
the questions Of transportation and the trans
mission Of intelligence. Statistics Ot wages
and cost OF subsistence will also meet an I'M
portant and growing demand arising out of
the increasing prominence OF the labor quCs-
tiou; while the statistics from Internal trade
have long been felt 70 be great dosdcratum.
Upon most Of these subjects the Bureau Of
Statistics has published much useful iniormR-
ton, although the law has not required II, the
chief0f the bureau having manifested a lauda'
blc desire to meet or even TO anticipate the
wants Of the public In this directions but 1t 10
