The Heated Term.

The very hot weather during July
calls forth from the New York Tribune
the following: Old residents of the city
will compared this years heat with that OF
former summers, and doubtless pro-
pounce it inferior to the extraordinary
summers of their reccoIlection. They
will recall the three hot weeks OF june
and July, 1885, when mems minds were
also ablaze with the fever OF specula-
tion; the hot weather at the date OF the
Croton celebration, which made its
promises of cool water the more vel
come; the dry, scorching weeks OF 1845,
from tue latter part of June to the ninth
of August the three months OF hot
weather in 1856, when all the grass dis
appeared, and there was almost famine
in feedstuffs; the summer of 1864, when
for five weeks not o drop of rain fell, it
is said, in the whole State Of New York.
Other years might be instanced OF brief
er but equally excessive heat; and al
though 1876 win go on record as among
the worst in respect to sunstroke NOR
tality, it's 154 deaths in three days do
not surpass the fatality Of the hottest Of
recent summeru, 1874.

A Bold Robbery.

The most daring railroad robbery on
record was perpetrated recently on the
Missouri Pacific railroad, short dis
tance east iOtterville, No.. From the
account of the outrage published, it ap-
pears that tho whole affair was deliber-
ately planned and successfully executed
by about dozen masked ruffians, who
obstructed the track in acutting, stopped
the train by signal light, and after rob-
bing the express company's safes OF
about sixteen thousand dollars in mon
ey and valuables decamped with their
prize. No resistance was offered by
either the train officials or the passen-
gers, who were completely overawed by
the pistols of the band of masked rob-
bers. An active pursuit after the gang
has been Instituted from several points,
and there are some hopes of their cap
ture, but, we fear, not without loss of
life to the pursuing parties. The affair
is somewhat similar to the recent robbie
ry of mail coach, filed with well
armed passengers, in Texas, when the
only one who escaped loss was plucky
little woman who defied the robbers.
This outrage is possible of repetition on
any of our roads, even those of the set
tied States, unless severe lesson is ad-
ministered now to all concerned in this
latest robbery. We hope that the facil-
ity with which the thieves got posses
sion of the safe keys and the money will
suggest to the express companies some
better way of securing the valuables in
trusted to them in future than by keys
so easily got at, and in safe that can be
broken open with pickax.-Herald.

A Boarding House in an Uproar.

This is how the rumpus occurred {:
Higgins, who is top-foorer, came home
late, bringing friend with him. AS
the ways leading to Higgins apartments
are tortuous, he left his friend IN the
ball and Sscended alone to illuminate.
Having struck light, he gave a low
whistleas signal to his friend to ascend.
This little circumstance was fatal to the
peace and well-being of the establish
ment. The old gentleman Battles, who
has the first floor front, was in a halt
wakeful state, and hearing the sibilant
signal sounded on an upper landing was
convinced that it was thief's method OF
communicating with his fellow. Battles
is energetic, and in a very brief space OF
time bang went his pistol out of the
front window, accompanied by volley
of cries of "Police!" "Fire !" "Rob-
bers!" and "Murder!" This demonstra-
ton had its effect all along the line. The
boarders, en- deShabiUe to a greater or
lesser degree-it was warm night-ap-
peared on the landing, and the boldest
of them invaded Battles apartment.
The neighbors rushed out or put their
heads out of the windows, and the great
est commotion prevailed throughout the
street. The olice began to arrive, re-
enforced by a squad from the station
house, and the fire patrol rushed around
the corner. It took some time to ex-
plain matters and to restore quiet to
the neighborhood. The most fright
ened individual of all was the strange
gentleman Higgins had brought home
with him. He was set upon by the in
furiated boarders as the supposed burg
lar, and narrowly escaped demolition.

Turkish and Seryian Armies.

The correspondent of the London
Standard writes as follows: But the
Turkish army is now we'll trained and
highly disciplined; those who have seen
the regular troops cannot fail to appre-
ciate their extraordinary discipline and
their skill in the use of the Snider rifle.
As artillerymen the Turks have been
famous at all times, their phlegmatic
temperament enabling them to take a
calm and steady aim. In Servia, on the
other hand, the robbers, except in the
frontier mountains, have been almost
exterminated, and in place of this match
less force in a guerilla war an army has
arisen which does not possess the advan-
tages of thoroughly we'll trained troops,
and yethas lost its skill in irregular wal
fare. The Servian forests have been
cleared, several good highways and a
number of roads which, although bad,
are yet passable for artillery, traverse
the country, and the Servian army could
not, like the bands of Kara Gjorge and
Milosh after the loss of Belgrade and
Kraguievach. be formed again. The
strategic probabilities Of future Servo
Turkish war are, therefore, almost SINH
lar TO those IN eivilised countries.
