Historical incidents.
THE EMANCIPATION AND COLoRED
TROOPS.

The New York Times publishes il
long sketch of the life of Hannibal
Hamlin. of Maine, which contains ma
nv interesting "reminiscences of the
war. The following concerning the
emancipation act and the employment
of negroes in the army are interesting
from IA historical standpoint:
When the war commenced, the Vice
president. in advance of many of his
associates. foresaw that the ultimate
result must be the liberation of the
slaves 1t is not claimed, certainly
not by him, the most modest of men,
that he had any accurate idea as to the
exact manner in which such liberation
was to occur, still he was convinced
that. sooner or later, and III some way,
the slaves would he set free. Holding
these views, as the war progressed he
repeatedly pressed upon the President
the advisability of issuing an enamel
patton proclamation. 10 all the argu-
ments in favor of such a course Mr..
Lincoln gave the most thoughtful and
earnest attention, but still let drop no
hint as to what his action III the matter
would lie. This was the situation one
evening when Mr.. Hanlin went to the
White House and announced to the
President that he intended to leave
that night for a visit To his home.
"No, You don't intend to do nything
of the sort" was the somewhat remark
able response of the President.

How TO Treat SumstrOke.

The New York board of health makes
the following recommendations to pre-
vent SunstrOke: If working in the sun
wear a light hat mot black, as it alb
serbs heat, straw, etc, and put inside
of it on the head a wet cloth OF large
green leaf. Frequently lift the hat
from the head and see that the cloth is
wet. Do not check perspiratiOn, but
drink what water you need to keep it
up, as perspiratiOn prevents the body
from being Overheated. Have, when
ever possible, an additional shade, as
Il thin umbrella, when walking a can
vas or board cover when working in
the sun. When much fatigued do not
go to work, especially after II o'clock
in the morning, on very hot days, if
the work is III the sun. If feeling
of fatigue, dizziness, headache or eX-
hauStiOn occurs, cease work Immediate
ly; lie down in Il shady and cool
place. Apply cold cloth to, and pour
cold water over, head and neck. If any
one is overcome by the heat, send i'm
mediately for the nearest good ply
sician. While waiting for the physi-
clan give the person cool drinks of wa
ter, or cold black tea, OF cold coffee,
if able to swallow. If the skin is hot
and dry, sponge with or pour cold wa
ter over the body and limbs, and apply
to the head pounded ice wrapped i'll Il
towel or other cloth. If there is no ice
at hand, keep cold cloth on the head
and pour cold water on it us well as on
the body. If the person is pale, very
faint and pulse feeble, let him inhale
ammonia for Il few seconds, or give him
ii teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of am
monia i'll two teaspoonfuls of water,
with little sugar.
