SIXTH DAY.

SIXTH DAY.
MouNpsvILLE, August ~.
Editors Of the IntellgCnCer
In my report Of yesterday | had not
the space to notice the doings outside Of
the sanctuary, nor do know personally
Of much that did take place outside. I
know that the attendance was very large
and that the general order was good. |
only heard OF one accident occurring. a
man Tell from his buggy and was cOnsid.
erably hurt, but IL was his own fault, not
that Of the horse or buggy. A great tleal
Of whisky wis drank. Young men would
take their TASKS from their pockets, and
without shame would drink In the pres.
enCe Of whoever might be in sight. As n
matter Of course this was not done in the
presence Of the policemen that might be
around. What libel on humanity such
young men are, and yet know some Of
them stand high At home, and would
blush to have their parents know they do
such things.
This mornings services in front Of the
stand were very interesting. DR.. Taylor
talked nearly m hour, and made sotne
very strong points, all Of which he ex.
pressed with some very apt illustrations

this love was perfect. II Ia perfect In
quality. II possesses the heart TO the e&.
clusion Of ali things else. No anger, pet.

that can make mattyers can make the
heart behave itself. II ia perfect In quan.
tity. II fills the heart full. We have a
receptive capacity which II will satisfy to
the utmost. II will fill our energies and
activities with new life. Alittle religion

It frees as from fear Of self, from fear Of
others and IRON that timidity we feel in
the discharge Of our various christian
duties. At the close Of the sermon an rir.
gent invitation was given for the seekers
after holiness to present themselves at
the altar and many responded.
AFTERNOON.
The childrens meeting was conducted
by Mrs. Ball, and several other ladies
talked to the children.
The missionary meeting was held at
the stand at Q o'clock, and the services
were AZ follows: Called 10 order by the
President, Miss Lizzie Boyd. Scripture

Prayer by Mrs. Lancaster. Singing

FOREIGN NEWS.
ENGLAND.

LONDON, August IL, = The Austrian
Government has notified Turkey OF the
necessity for more energetic measures
for the suppression Of the insurgents in
Herzegovina.
RATIFIED.
The treaty OF commerce between China
and Peru, was ratified on the 9TH inst.
FOREIGN CRors.
The Marx Lane Express, in a review OF
the crops for the past week, says: "The
unsettled weather has been very unfaVor,
able for harvest. Work which Is every
where delayed and the high temperature
has put wheat in some danger Of sprout-
ing. While its condition must necessa.
rily be unsatisfactory, the London mar
ket from constant arrivals Of foreign
grain has not shown activity or tenden-
cy upward. The Paris market has felt
some reaction, and rates have given way
one shilling to one shilling sixpence per
quarter"
II now seems confirmed there as we'll rs
here that neither the samples or guam
tity will come up to last years, while
the condition is greatly jeopardized. The
gatherings are not complete in Austria,
and In Hungary the same results looked
upon as certain; and Northern Europe
has had much the same sort Of weather.
Therefore the samples must partially be
affected.
Russia reports very unequal growth,
being most affected by the very early
drouth, the damage OF which the subse.
quent rains could not repair.
Belgium and Holland will be much In
teriered with in their harvestS, and the
spread Of the potato disease II no longer
doubted.
LONDON, August l6.-The corporation
Of Southampton and the Chamber Of COM
merce Of that city have each rendered q
reception and banquet to the Admiral Of

tiOn OF the statue Of Hermann to-day.
The greatest enthusiasm was manifested.

American Association OrSclepce.

DETROIT, August l6.-The American
Association for the Advancement Of Sci
ence began its second week with general
session at the Opera House this morning.
A number Of prominent gentlemen were
elected members Of the Association.
The standing committee reported in
favor Of Buffalo as the place Of the next
meeting; and also reported nominations
for officers, The report was accepted and
LAID on the table until tomorrow, when
an election will bG held.
The general session adjourned till to-
morrow.
The principal paper read in Section A
was by j. W, Osborne, Of Washington, d.
C., on a new meteorological instrument,
designated to measure the effects Of the
climate OF localities upon the human
body. He said that the body is a warm
machine, constantly cooling. Its affect
ed in the most serious ways by the
changes in the temperature. The mere
statement OF the thermometer does not
show at all how We are affect
ed sby the changes in the temperature.
The effects Of wind and moisture are well
known to exert great influence upon
the human body, and these must be taken
into consideration Us well as heat and
cold. The instrument Of Mr.. Osborne
has a motive power furnished by clock,
which agitates two pounds Of water
heated TO the temperature Of the blood.
The water Is contained in u paper vessel,
which permits some evaporation. The
Centigrade thermometer is used, and
the water for these experiments was
heated somewhat above blood heat,
For Quickness In registering and reading
the vessel containing tho heated water
represents the human body, and the effects
OF cold, heat, wind and moisture can be
measured Just as they effect the human
body. Thus the precise extent OF these
changes can be registered and formulated.
-Four other papers were read, and this
Section then adjourned.
In Section D, nine papers were dis
posed Of.

A SECOND LADY FRANKLIN.
A Devoted WiIe's Long Search for
Her Husbands Remains.

((FrOm the Denver News, August o.
The wife of John COmstoCk, the dlscov-
erer Of the great Comstock Mine at Vir.
ginia City, las been making tour Of the
Territories in quest Of information con.
cerning her husband, who left her over
twenty years ago. Twice or thrice he was
reported dead, and each time the report
was contradicted, until his wife was un-
prepared to believe him either dead or
alive. About month ago she started out
on trip OF inquiry and discovery. At
Cheyenne she was told by n man who pre-
tended TO know Comstock that he was
living in Southern Utah, and was very
poor. The wife ready to seize upon any
hope, hastened off on the hunt Of her hus-
band, visiting nearly every town In the
Territory. Then she went on over 10
Nevada, where he was once known 10
every body rs the discoverer Of the Com.
stock, and there she heard that he had died
in Montana, in destitute circumstances,
years ago. She returned to Salt Lake and
from there went up into Montana, where
she hns found the proofs Of his death.
He had driited, Il seems, into the Sweet
water (Wyoming) mines, and left there
with the Big Horn expedition in 1871.
The expedition, failing Of lie object, was
disbNnded, some returning to the rail-
road, and the remainder going on through
the YelOwstOne region into Montana.
Constock reached Bozeman sick, discour.
aged and pcnniless. He often pointed to
his discovery, the ComStoCk, then pro-
ducing liz $20,OOO,OOO annually, and the
thought seemed to bring dependency. One
day, in The spring Of 1871, he brrrowed
pistol from Mr.. 13illabur, a shoemaker,
and, stepping outside the shop, lodged
bullet In his brain. lie left no property
of any kind, and the expense Of burial,
which was quietly conducted, was shared
among few friends. Mrs. Comstock has
found his grave, and being possessed Of
means left her by her father, proposes to
remove the remains 10 her present home,
somewhere In the States.
