The plenipotentiaries to the East.
ern war congress concluded their
labors on the 18th. After some un-
important business, Prince Bismarck
made brief address, in the course
of which he cast a retrospective view
over the work performed by the con.
gress, abiding to its Importance as
regarded the influence Of it's deibe-
rations and decisions on the future
of Europe. In closing his address
the Prince requested the members
to proceed at once to sign the ;docu.
ment they had agreed upon, stating
that there were seven copies, one for
each of the governments represented
at and taking part in the conference.
The treaty, numbering sixty -four
distinct clauses is exclusively word
ed in French, and is printed on
parchment magnifcently gotten up
with elaborate designs. It com.
mences with the words: eau nom
de Dieu tout puissant. In the
name OF Almighty God. 1t then
rehearses the names and several titles
Of the contracting sovereigns, and
alludes to the continued Eastern dis
turbances; also mentions the last
war; and refers to the preliminary
treaty of San Stefano. The closing
paragraph expressly prescribes that
all Of the enactments of the treaties
of Paris (1856,) and of London
(1851,) which the present treaty does
not modify, remain in force. After
congratulations being exchanged on
all sides, the members of the congress
left the Radziwell Palace for their
respective residences in Berlin, pre-.
parat0ry to their return home.

SUNSTROKE.
How to Manage It.
TO the Editor Of the Pioneer Press:

10 tQe EQlCOr Oh Tue PlOleer freSSs
In answer to your request as to
the best method of treating sun
stroke, I submit that there are two
recognized forms of sunstroke
thermal fever, or heat apoplexy. One
in which the muscles are affected,
notably the heart, which is itself
muscel, known as the cardiac or
heart form; the other, in which the
brain and spinal cord suffer, known
as heat apoplexy. In the heart form
there is sudden coagulation of the
''myosin' Of the heart, which stops
its action very suddenly, thus in.
ducing speedy death. In the brain
form there is an overpowering Of
the brain matter by intense heat,
also inducing speedy death by as
poyxia or smothering, from the pre-
sence of black or carbonized blood
in the brain, as in drowning or
strangulation. In Gather case the
heat Of the body will be from one
hundred and eight to one hundred
and twelve degrees Fahrenheit's
thermometer. The skin is hot and
very dry, there being an arrest of
the perspiration. The skin may be
pale and seem cool to the hand, but
the termometor will at once rectify
the error. The remedy consists in
as Immediate areduction Of temporal
ture aspossible, to avoid rapid deteri-
Grafton ofthe blood beyond the point
Of recovery. Let the patient be at
once stripped, placed in cool place
and douched with cold water continu-
ously till the temperature is reduced.
This should be done while messen-
ger runs for a physician SO that no
time be lost, for minutes are very
precious to a victim Of heat stroke.
Quinine, the best reducer Of heat
known to the profession, should be
administered in twenty grain doses,

In his bluff way, the Senator said; s.Why
don't you run away, you black rascal?" and
before the answer was given, and without an
other word, he took from his pocket a gold
eagle, slyly slipped it into the mans hand,
and turned to his Thanking. Senator Wade
was not wealthy, and this was more to him
than hundred eagles would have been to
some men. NJ
