THE FOURTH.

Business generally was suspend

Harvest being over, a large num-
Der of persons from the country
were in town. There " "a no reg
ular organized celebration of the
day, and the event Of the occasion
was the knights Of Pythias Pic
Mic at BeGington. The severa,
trains going out on the G. V. r. r.
were crowded and iammed, and
large numbers went out in private
conveyances. The Knights. in
full uniform, paraded the streets in
the morning, headed by the Mar
tinsburg Cornet Band The parade
was not as large as it would have
been, but for the excessive heat,
which deferred many of the
members Z from turning out.
The m4.ch was ended in time to
allow the knights to go out on the
eleven o'clock train. There were
over one thousand persons on the
ground. Over seven hundred ex-
cursion tickets We're sold at the
ticket office Of the road in this
place. The picnic was a grand
success, and notwithstanding the
large number in attendance, the
very best order was maintained
throughout the day, and not an
accident occurred that we are adj

PROTECTION FROM FIRE.-A
recent amendment to the building
laws of New York city provides
that every dwelling occupied by
more than one family above the
first floor, including hotels and
lodging and boarding-houses, shall
be provided with fire escapes,
doors and alarms. Stores, ware
houses or other buildings, except
schools, dwelling houses and
churches, shall be provided above
the first story with fire-proofshut-
tiers, capable of being opened and
closed from the outside. The oc-
cupant is required to close the
shutters before leaving the premi-
ses at night. The great fires of
Boston and Chicago demonstrated
pretty clearly, says the Ledger,
that the building of so-called fire.
proof buildings would not secure
a city from destruction by fire
when the buildings themselves
were filled with inflammable ma
terial capable Of making heat suf-
ficient to melt iron and crumble
granite. It is, therefore, well to
make such precautions for saving
human life and assisting fremen
to eXtinguish fires as will prevent
the worst consequences of disasters
which cannot be altogether pre-
vented. The Scientific American
estimates the annual losses from
New York city, including the cost
Of maintaining the fire depart
ment, at $6,000,000. 1t is not at all
likely that fire department can
ever be abolished through any
perfection Of building plans ana
materials, but through the enforce
ment Of wise building laws the
greater part Of the direct losses
from fire could be prevented.

Yours truly,
ROBT. $. EICHELBERGER

Some gepial-hearted writer re-
marked that when Tithonus ask
cd for an eternal life in the body
and found TO his sorrow, that i'm
mortal youth was not included in
the bargain, ii surely was because
he forgot the perpetual gift of liv-
ing and sympathising, Truly a
human heart never can grow cid
if it takes a lively interest in the
joys and SORROWS Of others. What
blights its blossoms is selfshness
and reluctance 10 promote the hap
piness of other hearts. You can
make that group Of young people
happy bya cheerful look and
pleasant word-you can make the
heart Of that old man leap like the
heart Of a child, by little kind
ness. Remember, the secret Of a
sunshiny old age is loving and
sympathising the power Of Civ
ing as well as receiving joy.

The New York Tribune has som
very sensible remarks for the COM
ing season upon small but i'm
portant suhject-one Of those val
liable things which are said to be
done up in the smallest bundles:
Summer after summer teething
children fall in hecatombs, sacri-
feed to the ignorance or careless
ness Of their parents. This year,
however, as last, instructions have
been published by the boards Of
fealth in some neighboring cities,
by which the most uneducated
mother may understand how to
protect her child from danger as
far as possible during the season of
heat and foul air. The directions
are based upon plain principles of
common sense, which we would
suppose would be patent to any
body of ordinary intelligence, but
l,hich arc unfortunately the very
facts soonest ignored and neglected
Irish or German mothers, like
Naaman of old, are usually will
ing to try any cure which any
prophet may recommend, the more
miraculous and difficult the better;
but as for steady washing of
themselves or their children in the
waters OF Jordon or Croton to
make them whole, they are apt,
like the Syrian, to sniff contempt
uously at the idea, and go faithful
ly on their way through dirt to
death. Washing, however, might
be called the basis of q baby's sal
walton through teething; a sous
ing of the little body in plenty of
cold water every morning, and
when the weather is extremely
hot, tepid sponge bath at night;
W shing, too, constantly, of all
{ othes and cloths used by the in
FAINT, to afford it perfectly clean
garments at all times. Whatever
milk be given should be thorough
~ sweet and cool infants under
two years should be restricted in
tfeir diet to milk oatmeal mush or
cruel carefully prepared, and beef
broth, Or minced raw beefin small
quantities. There is a popular pre-
JUDGE among uneducated women
against the "meannesS Of refusing
their children that which they eat
themselves,o TO which is owing
one half the deaths among that
class of infants. ihe sWarms of
sallow, puny, wiezen-faced babies
which we see at the doors of tene-
ment houses are fed on morsels of
pork, vegetables, unraised bread
and occasional sips Of tea and lager
beer which may fall to their moth
ers lucky lot. 1t is not heat, or
malaria, or teething, against which
the doctors have to contend so
much as the obstinate ignorance of
the parents Fresh air is of course
"a tonic and cure superior to any
medicine--every hour passed by
the child under the trees in the
-quaros, or on the rivers, gives it
new chance for life. No anodynes
or soothing syrup should be given
EXCEPT under medical direction.

"a IOILeuJlUuS war Cl0u0 IN
the shape Of serious difficulties be-
tween the French and Germa a
governments comes up for pr o,;c

ties have recently esoIvad mon

Wholly u'pf' >6ected, without
single fortr' IS between paris on
the one land and Metz and Stras-
ou's on the other capable OF de-
&c" ding an invading army twenty
fOur hours. 1t was decided that
new Notifications should be con-
structed at Verdun, that a first
class fortress should be constructed
at Langres, and that what is called
the trouee dc Belfort should be
made impossible by a permanent
works. Upon learning Of this res
olution, the German Government
informed France that these forts
could not be built. eff this be
true" says the correspondent, cit
is an interference in the internal
concerns of France. which is equally
indefensible and impolitic. These
Notifications are purely defensive
works. Their construct cannot
be considered as conveying even
the most distant hint Of menace
against Germany their necessity
in military point Of view is even
acknowledged even by Prusslan
military WRITER'S" 1t has often
been said, and not without reason,
that the Germans would never per-
nit France to complete her mill
tary organization. But the con-
struction of three large fortresses
to cover Paris, alorg frontier line
something over one hundred and
fifty miles in length, is a purely
defensive measure; and if it be
really true that Prussia has set her
fate against it then a renewal OF
the war is at the mercy of the least
incident.
1t is inted that if this pref en-.
sion is persevered in by Prussia the
other great powers of Europe will
interfere for the pro ection of
France; the more especially as the
Prussians, instead Of dismantling
Metz and Strasburg have been
vastly extending and strength
ening the Notifications there.
But very likely size and black the
ness of this war-cloud has been
exaggerated in the exigency for
news inthe dull season.
