following circular, which We commend to
the attention Of our readers as pertinent to
the extremely hot season: "Sunstroke is
caused by excessive heat, and especially if
the weather is muggy.' 1t is more apt to
occur on the second, third or fourth day of
a heated term than on the first. Loss OF
sleep. worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms. debility, abuse of stimulants, pre-
dispose to'it. Ii is more apt to attack those
working in tho sun, and especially between

Or the tenets Of the Mennonites, who are
arriving here to settle in the West, in such
large numbers, the New York Times says
They are sort IF Quaker Baptists, agree
ing in the main with the Baptist denomina-
tons, though they believe usually in sprink-
ling instead Of immersion. They are wholly
opposed, along with the Society of Friends,
to taking oath, holding Office, capital pun
ishment, and employing force, all Of which
they regard as inconsistent with the spirit
and teachings Of Christianity. They believe
that the New Testament is the sole rule OF
faith that the terms Person and Trinity
should not be applied to the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost that infants should not be
baptized, and that there is no original sin.
Their first organization was by Memo ST.
mOnis, in Holland, in the sixteenth century,
and they settled in this country lin and
about Germantown, Penn, } as early as
1858. Toward the end of the eighteenth
century several thousand German Mennon-
ties took refuge in Southern Russia, and il
ia their descendants who are making their
homes in the West IL is estimated that
there are now over 200 900 in the United
States, and they are steadily Multiplying.

GRANTS.

The WRONGS SUFFERED BY THE coLokkD hsF
GRANTS.
New York, July "a Monrovla letter oil
june 81, received at Charleston, gives an
additional account Of the hardships to
which the colored emigrants on the barque
Azore we're subjected. They were charged
an e1orbitant price for towing the vessel BY
a British steamer, and an effort to raise
portion Of the money to pay for towage
from the emigrants developed the iaes that
altogether they could not raise fifty dollars
and there were dozens who did not
have one cent, they having had their money
all squeezed out Of them before leaving
Charleston. Mayor Delaney is to write to
Earl SALISBURY in England relative to these
outrageous charges. The exodus assoeia-
ton is entirely unable to meet the drafts
and will try to raise the amount from the
blacks whose enthusiasm in the matter has
not cooled. There arc now nearly 2oo
blacks in Charleston waiting to be taken
to Liberia, notwithstanding the diseourag-
ing accounts from the first expedition.
