Reports from ST. Louis to the 10th inst,
indicate a slight attainment in the heat, the

The thermometer ranged as high as 100. The
telegram says: The cases of sunstroke have
also decreased, there having been but TWEEN
ty-two at the city dispensary up to 6 O'Clock
this evening, and but four deaths. The
scenes there, however, have been of the same
GENERAL character as heretofore, and the four

have been kept very busy administering TO
the wants of those taken there for treatment.
The general mode of treating the cases is
II to the head, ice water showers, rubbing
the body with ice and administering sueA

A Mothers Presentlment.

The mysterious disappearance of Cap
tain George E Magwire some days since,
says a recent issue of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, has given rise to great deal
of comment and many conjectures as to
the cause of his absence. He was well
known in the city, having at one time
been prominent young politician,
with an ayowed determination to achieve
the distinction of seat in Congress. For
several years past, however, he has been
in failing health and subject to tina. ter
rible disease, epilepsy, which sooner or
later destroys life or takes the reason
captive
Captain Magwire was fully aware OF
the late that awaited him, and knew that
no medical skill could avert his doom,
and that the hand of the destroyer was
upon him. Death he did not fear; but he
thought mis- intellectual faculties would
become clouded, and that he would be
an ooJect of pity to his friends was unen-
durable. With what intense anxiety he
watched the slow approach OF the insidi-
Gus monster of insanity can hardly be
imagined. He resolved not to wait to be
EMBODIED in its clasp, but rather TO avert
it bv taking his own life. This deter
mination was expressed TO several OF his
intimate friends, but he informed no one
! of the time or method he should select,
| if. indeed, either time or mode was fixed
in his mind. On Tuesday afternoon he
was seen at the bridge, and since then no
| tidings of him have been received by his
| family The presumption, growing out
of the clrcumstances,s Is strong that he
leaned into the river and was drowned.
There is a possibility that he may have
fallen from the bridge during an attack
of epilepsy. but the general impression is
that he committed suicide.
The disappearance OF Capt. Magwire -
reverted to now for the purpose ofrecord-
ing very singular dream, or u
ment of his venerable mother. There can
be no doubt of the authenticity of the fact
about to be related. The night Mrs. Ma
| gwirc last saw her son her sleep was dis
turbed by painful and vivid dream. 1t
seemed so like a reality that she could not
shake off The impression. In her dream
she saw him struggling in the water; she
saw him sink and rise again, AMI heard
he gurgIing sound of strangulation as he
disapp cared beneath the waves. She
awoke her husband, and said to bin.
George is dead: saw him in the water
and heard the gurgling noise made by
him in drowning This was before Mrs.
NJ. had heard that her son wss missing,
or had heard any intimation Of his inten
tion to take his life. This Is one Of those
singular dreams which puzzle the phios

Two Genevras.

One of the saddest casualties ever re-
corded IS that CT the death of two
daughters of Mrs Amelia Moench. first
assistant teacher of German in the Frank
lin school of this city, by being suffocated
in trunk. The little girls have for q
year past been with their father on q
farm four miles from Dixon, Mo. Mrs.
Moench spends her vacations on the farm,
and was prepared to go to her husband
and children Immediately upon the close
of school On Sunday evening she re-
ceiyed the following telegram from a
friend living III Dixon:
On returning home last evening, Mr.
Moench found both the little girls dead in a
CT WALTER.
Unable to credit the awful news, Mrs
Moench telegraphed to the gentleman,
requesting particulars before the next
train. She was misinformed as to the
time the train left, and, before the next
train, she received another, saying that
her little girls had been buried, the ex-
treme heat Of the weather forbidding de-
lay. Your correspondent called upon
Mrs. Moench this morning. She had just
received letter containing full partlcu
lars, but she had not peen aple to control
her feelings sufficiently to read it.
Mr. Moench had gone to Dixon on
Saturday, and his little girls called cheer
fully to him to hurry back, and, if he
wrote to their ma, TO send her their love.
On his return he was surprised not TO see
them awaiting them. He called. but re-
ceived no answer. He went into the
house ana saw the tray of the trunk sit
inc on the foor. A horrible fear flashed
over his mind. He opened the trunk
aid found the two girls. The younger
who was underneath, was evidently past
all hope, but the elder was still warm.
Not neighbor was within half mile of
them. The father dashed cold water on
the children and then rubbed them with
vinegar. and made every effort to restore
them to consciousness, and labored with
them until after one o'clock, when he
gave it up and sought help from a neigh
Dor. The distance from the railroad sta
ton and telegraph caused the delay by
which Mrs. Moench was prevented from
ever seeing her little daughters before
their burial Their ages were eight and
five years. The little Girls were in the
habit of playing hide-and- seek, and had
often hid in the trunk separately. 1t had
been their habit when they saw their IA

words of Wisdom.

Insult not misery, neither deride in
trinity, nor ridicule deformity; the first
is inhuman, the second shews folly, and
the third pride.
The true pleasure of temperance, and
the many benefits that follow sobriety,
cannot be imagined by those who live
dissipated lives.
In the moral as in the physical world,
the violent is never the lasting; the tree
forced the unnatural luxuriance of bloom
bears it and dies.
Bad habits are the thistles of the heart,
and every indulgence of them is seed
from which will come forth new crop
of rank weeds.
No species of falsehood is more FREE
quent than fiattery; to which the coward
ii betrayed by fear, the dependent by
interest, and the friend by tenderness.
The great art of conversation consists
in not wounding or humiliating any one,
in speaking only of things that we know,
in converting with others only on subjects
which may interest them.
No great man or woman has ever been
reared TO great usefulness and lasting
distinction who was unschooied by adj
versitv. Noble deeds are never done IN
the calm sunshine of summers light.
Men know how thunder and lightning
come from the clouds ia summer, and
thew want to thunder and Tighten some
times themselves; but il is better that
the contents of the clouds should drop
down in gentle rains and make some
thing grow, than that there should be
flashing and resounding in the heaven,
AMI that the oak sho'ld be crushed TO
pieces wnlch has been growing for a
hundred years; and it is better, not that
men should pro luce a great racket IN
the world, and work obstruction round
about them, but that they should create
happiness among their fellow men.

We find an Increase OF crude fibre in
every; case rs the plant is allowed TO

albufainoids. Yet these tgures may
lead as to an erroneous conclusion, be-
cause they give us but chemical SUBJ
stances, and tionot give us any indica-
ton pf the digestioility of these substan-
ces. Indeed, we realize these differences
when we com pare the estimates of value
from the practical point OF view; that is
from information gained from feeding TO
animals. If the value ofhay be taken as

while Thaer considers 656 lbs. the proper

We thus, in the face OF these opinions,
may appreciate the difficulties which be-

the different degrees of digestibility and

tive consider then how the starch, the
sugsr, the albuminous material, the
woody fibres, &c, get into the grass, we
shalt lind that the bulk of them comes
from the air, through the agency of the
leaf, and the ehlorophyl of the leaf at
that. The sap. mounting up the plant
from cell to cell, is iourncyiDg toward
the leaf and green surfaces, where the
carkonic acid is under process of being
extracted from the atmosphere, and is be-
ing compounded into vital tissues. This
primal material, the proximate prin-
cipkss OF the plant, is transferred in

through consideration of the physiology
IF Elephant, feel assured OF the following
facts. l. In the presence OF light, car
bonic acid is being taken up by the leaf
of the plant, and through the agency Of
the chlcrophyl grains is being fixed in
the form of proxmate principles ofthe
plant 2. There is a transference from
the leaf of our grasses through The stem to
the seed,
1t is therefore indicated By theory,

of he proximate PRINCIPLES are in full ac-
tivisgs and as we must know through our
coln'l.on observation. this time is bounded
.by the cessation OF the bloom for with
the bloom We notice a check in height

growth of the plant; the difference be-
tweeN an activity devoted to the ex-

The Heat.

The heat of last week will work an
era in atmospheric chronicles. The intensity
of the suns rays prevailed all over the country,
producing discomfort, distress and death.
But cold wave spread over the country Sat
urday and Sunday mitigating to great de-
gree the consuming, and prostrating hest
that had prevailed. City and country haze
suffered as never before, and the death record
is something frightful. Though all the cities
had suffered to very great extent, vet st.
Louis, in its death record, exceeds them All,
there having been over 1s4 deaths traceable
directly to the heat. But the wOrstis now be-
heved TO be over, and though there will yet
be warm days, there will be but little il any
more fatality from sunstrokes.
