CONsPIRATORs ON INFANT BAP.
TISM.

Gen. Comfy writes to his paper, the
Ohio State Journal OF notable gathering
the other day in Washington:
l happen to know that Garfield met
Stanley Mathews and Joe Aediil here
ior the purpose Of discussing in iant osp,
,ism. 1t is we'll known, l trust, that
General Garfield was formerly Camp
belli,e minister. He believes that the
word 6apt,so or baptidso should be trsas,
lsted to dip or plunge, and that infants
have no night TO be baptized at all. Now,
everybody knows that Joe Medill, who
hss studied this subject profoundly, and
who ia philosopher. ss well IS civi,
service reformer, holds that the word
bapti-e hss no specific meaning as to the
mode or manner in which the water
sball be used, and that It will do
ius. as we'll 70 put the water on
the man as il will TO put the man IN tne
water. So, and even more SO, OF infants.
On the other hand, Stanley Matthews
Claims that baptism is not baptism except
by sprinkling, and that it is q strictly In
fsn, complaint, and that although adults
do sometimes take it, Just As grown men
sometimes take the measeses or tne
mumps vet baptism properly belongs 70
the children OF evan gelical parents only.
He is yery earnest about this, and IN the
hes, of the argument he went SO tar as
10 tell Garfield that he WAS rs bad
man s Nicodemus. who killed
sli the children in bethienem
one night, because Garfield denied the

with children of infdels and Democrats

A storm of rain and lightning prevailed

There can be hardly any doab: that the
Senate will grant the Presidents request

THERE . something remarkable IN the
the increase in the number of trials for
..heresy" 10 leading Protestant churches
in this country and Great Britain. The
defendants too, are generally leading d.
vines or learned theologisns. The sp-
preaching trisi of Prof. w. ROBERTSON
SMITH, of the Free Church College of
Scotland, will make great stir
among the Scotch .heoiogisns. His
otfense is heresy, and hio case Is
not greatly different from that OF
DR.. BLAUvELT, of New York. The
heretical writings on which ne is to stand
trial are the articles on ANGLES" and
the "BIble' IN the Encyclopedias Britain
MICA" The leading men In the church
ara much more elastic in their views
than the leaders of the Reformed
Church, which suspended Dr.. BLAUvELT
the other day. 1t Is argued that all
churches must be prepared 70 recognize
an honest difference of opinion about
matters on which they we're formerly
much agreed.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, |
wAsHrSGTos, June l9, 1877.

Francis o. French, Esq, NeD York.
SIR:-Your letter OF the 10TH inst, in
which you inquire whether the four per
cent. bonds now being sold BY the gov
ernment are payable principal and inter-
est in gold coin, is received. The subject
from its great importance, hss demanded
and received careful considerations. I'm
der the laws now in force there is no
cola issued or issuable in which the
principal of four per cent. bonds Is re-
deemable or the interest payable, except
in gold coin of the United States
of standard value, fixed by the laws
in force since the l4th Of July
1870. when the bonds were authorized,
The government eIscts in exchange for
these bonds payment at their par value
IN such gold coin, and 1t is not 10 be
anticipated that any future legislation OF
Congress or any action Of any depart
ment of the government would sanction
or tolerate the redemption OF the princi-
pal CT those bonds or the payment of IN
terest thereon in coin of less value than
the coins authorized By law st the time
OF the issue Of the bonds, being the coin
exscted by the government in exchange
for the same essential element of good faith
in preserving the equality between the
coinsge in which the government re-
ceiyes and that in which it pays, These
bonds will be sscredly observed by the
government and the people Of the United
States whatever may be the system OF
coinage, which the general policy OF the
nation may st any time adopt. This
principal is impressed on the law
OF July I4th, 1870, under which the four
per cen. bonds are issued, and requires in
tae op nion of the executive department
OF the government, the redemption of the
bonds aud payment. of their interest in
coin of equal value with that which the
receives on their issuse.
Very respectfully,
JOIN SHERMAN, Secy.

WAsHIseroN, June l9.-Mf. Dsla.
PLANE, charge de afAirss Of the United
States st Vienna says. The Sheik vi
Islam has sent Q delegation Of doc.
tors of law to Cherif OF Mecca Q direct
descendant OF the prophet for the pur-
pose of demanding funds from the Trsas-
ure of islam TO be applied in the defsnss
of Islam faith. This treasure y formed
from the annual offerings Of Pilgrims,
which are accumulated In the Kashah OF
Mecca. Cherif OF Aecca receives
an average Of 100000 francs
in the annual otenngs. One onertoey
chest was opened during the Russo
Turkish war in 1898. Several large
sums were withdrawn, bus it vas attsr-
wards again closed. Tho second chest
was opened in 1854, during the Crimean
war, but the third chest has not beso
opened since lll5. II - conjectured
that the accumulation Of money in the
last named ofsrtory chest caa nos b lsas
than 250, ,0O0, 600 francs and Il Is fully
believed that the total amount Of the
treasure OF Islam will exceed 600, ,000, 900
francs, or even . much larger sum.

A Request to the Chief OF Police.
WHEELING, June 18th, 1871.


Captain Ripley has been performing
his duties as City Sergeant since his in
PRODUCTION into Office in such a manner
AS to challenge the approval of all,
irrespective Of political bias.
The uproarIous Fourth Of July" will
coon be here. Let him show the same
commendsble zeal in suppressing dis
order oa that day. Let him put stop
to the firing OF pistols, fire crackers and
the like, from which 80 many
accidents and cslsmities in the
past have occurred. He has municipal
lap to sustain him in the suppress
sion OF the same. Let MIN be governed by
the law in the matter and he will be
fully sustained by the public. These
dangerous practices are not tolerated in
any other places, except perhaps small
country villages The public have been
much annoyed by this practice in past
years, and if he does not put a stop TO the
mischievous practice he will lose much
of the popularity he has already gained.
P. S.-WIll the InteLiigsneer please
copy the above in the interest OF law and
order? DEcoRUM.

sUMMER PRECAUTIONS.

The hot term seems. to have come to
stay. Yesterday was very hot In the
sun, but there was pleasant breeze ahoat
which made the heat tslersble in the
shade; but the night before was as sultry
as night in the dog days. The natural
temperature Of our bodies Is about one
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. In order
TO get rid Of our supersbundsnt animal
heat We need temperature Of ten or
fifteen degrees lower. 1t is impossible
to cool of flesh whose natural heat is one
hundred degrees, in su atmosphere of
ninesy-three or ninety-four; snd
If 1t were not for the cool
ing power Of evaporation no
one could exist in the sun such day as
yesterday. This shows the necessity of
keeping up an active Precipitation during
the extreme hot weather. This is we'll
understood by puddlers and. boilers in
our iron mills. Working in the intense
heat of their furnaces made hotter by
the summer weather, they are careful
70 keep the skin sbundantly moist. Did
they not do 50 the internal fires which
burn ceaselessly in their bodies would
soor heat them beyond endurance. The
old theory that little water should be
drank in summer is abandoned. Pure
clear water, ice cold, is conducive TO
health, taken in small quantities. Large
drsughts of water are objectionable be-
cause they wash away or dilute the
digestive juices. But small sips of ice
water taken frequently during the day
certainly keep down the temperature
of the body, and keeps off the
danger of sunstroke When q man
o. work in place exposed TO great heat
finds his perspirstion checked, he is in
danger. If he continues his work and
exposure, his skin gets dry, mis- head gets
dizzy, and he may fall into unconscious-
ness or death. The proper clothing for
extreme heat is such texture rs readily
sbso:bs perspiration and permits the free
passage o: the air. Wool is the best sb-
sorbant and the best conductor. Our
food should be light. and mainly Of sue.
culent vegetables and ripe fruits. But
| little meat asd no rich food should be
consumed in the summers heat. Keep
calm, keep your mind engaged ard your
body in exercise. Don't grumsle about
the hea. nor fret about hard times. Your
health and happiness will both be SUBJ
served thereby.
