Newark and then in quick succession came
the death of Willie Kennedy by car falling
against him at the railroad shops; the death
aud the death of Christopher F. Price by the
bursting of a steam pipe connection. Such

taken to heart by every one.

We hope no serious oonflagration will break
out in our city whilst everything is SO dry,
aud Our wells aud cisterns without water.
Special caro- should be exercised in regard to
the use of fire, and particularly in building

duce intense heat aud render chimneys liable

By statistics furnished by water companies,
the average family is 81 persons to each
household, and the amount of water allowed
to each one is 90 gallons; consequently a
family would require every "a hours, ITO
gallons of water, or q barrels, and for q
week III barrels.
A barrel of water from the river is sold in
the lower portion of this city for ten cents,
and weeks supply, with the above liberal
allowances, would cost $3.50.
During such drought, economy in the use
of water might reduce the quantity one-half
and the expense to 1915 per week. If there
are 100 families who are not provided with
wells and csterns sufficient to carry them
through such drought the expense would be
1915.
These reflections are suggested by seeing
very many hauling water through the streets
of our city.
The drought is equally bad in the country
and to keep the family and the stock properly
supplied, there has to be a large amount of
labor given to this unusual duty of the farmer
Those who pay attention to 1.-THE Markets"
which are SO carefully prepared for THE
RECORD, will find within few weeks, large
increase in the price of all the leading items
that make up the family expenses, and in
which there can be hut little curtailment, all
of which may be attributed to this remarkable
and unprecedented drought
Those who watch the signs upon which
they can predict the weather, have been sadly
mistaken. The changes of the moon, south
winds, ember days, the sun crossing the line
to make the equinoctial storm, aching and
rheumatic feet and limbs, have all failed to
bring rain, and even the government weather
reports have partially failed.
We hope no serious oonflagration will break
out in our city whilst everything is SO dry,
and oitr wells aud cisterns without water.

DEATH or PRESIDENT GARFIELD

A STRANGE STORY.

A strange story comes from Union
County, Arkansas, but it is as true as it
strange-to-wit: That three young men
were sitting on their horses in the road,
discussing the probabilities of rain from
cloud which just then was rising in the
west. The youngest Of the group, named
John Freeman, referred to the drought,
and remarked that God who would al
low his people to suffer this couldn't
amount to much. AS he was speaking
this the boys were encircled with light
ming, and the speaker stunned severely,
though his companions were unscathed
Recovering he renewed the subject, Bit
terly reviling the Supreme power. In
stantly bolt of lightning flashed from
the cloud overhead, and the young man
fell dead in his tracks. Nearly every
bone in his body was smashed to jelly,
while his boots were torn from his feet
and the clothing from his lower extremi-
ties. The body presented horrible ap-
pearance, being a blackened and mangled
mass of humanity. His companions were
stunned and thrown on the ground, but
not seriously injured The funeral of
the unfortunate young man occurred the
next day, and attracted a large crowd,
the larger portion of whom were drawn
thither by the rumor of the strange events
preceding the death of the deceased.
When the body was deposited in the
grave and the loose earth had been thrown
in until the aperture was filled, and
while the friends of the dead man yet
fingered in the cemetery, bolt of light
ming descended from cloud directly over
the burial-llace and struck the grave,
throwing the dirt as if plow had passed
lengthwise through it. No one was in
jured. but those present scattered, almost
paralyzed with terror The incident is
exciting great deal of attention, minis
ters and religious people generally hold
ing that the young man was the victim
of the wrath of an o7ended God, while
others assert that the case was simply a
wonderful coincidence, having no con-
nection with causes either physical or
supernatural.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

The question OF extending national aid
to the popular educatio of the South
was wildly presented by DR.. Curry, of
Richmond, before the Connecticut Teach
ers' Convention at Hartford, last week
With pardonable pride he contrasted the
colleges and academies of the South in
1860 with those of the North, to prove
that his section was not behind us in ia
cilities for the higher education. The
comparison, to have been wholly reval-
ent, should have included free common
schools, in which the South was, and is,
lamentably deficient. There is no ques-
ton of the intelligence of the so-called
"ruling class at the South, nor of the
earnest desire of the white people for the
education of the masses. The revolution
in this respect is complete. DIR. Curry
grouping and the use of the statistics of
illiteracy were sufficiently startling.
Twenty per cent. of the voting popula-
tion of the whole country, and 45 per
cent.-almost half-of those at the South
cannot read their ballots. The sixteen
Southern States have one-third of the
whole vote and three-luarters of the illit-
eracy. The South, he reminded us, has
1873 electoral votes, and the three-fourths
of the political power back of these votes
is in the hands of ignorance Nor, with
all that those States have done, is the
proportion decreasing. 1t is increasing,
rather, and at fearful rate "The ne
groes," said the speaker, "are the wards
of the nation. If the constitution gave
the North power to free the slaves and
enfrapchise them, you cannot sickle
about the power Of the Government to
educate and fit them for citizenship"
The ignorance of SO large proportion of
the voters, under republican system, is
a standing menace to our institutions
How much longer shall the question of
national aid be the football of parties?-

GERMANY AND FRANCE.-A German
paper comparing Germany with France,
observes that the former nation is super
icr to the latter in political and military
powers, and that the latter surpasses the
former in culture and material prosperi-
ty This, it says, is chiefly attributed to
the fact that the population of France is
almost stationary, while that of Germany
is rapidly increasing. France, which, is,
moreover, richer in mineral rescorces
than Germany, is thus easily enabled to
provide fo1 the wants of its people Ger
many, naturally poor country, cannot
increase her production SO as to keep pace
with the increase of her population. Ac-
cording TO the last census the population
of Germany was As, $4,000; tt has in
creased by 49O, 900 year from 1871 to
1875, and since 1875 by 493, 900 year.
During the past nine years the increase
has amounted to more than 100000
persons, which is more than the total
population of the Grand Duchies Of Baden
and Hesse and the Province of Alsace-
Lorraine. 1t is as if Germany had an
nexed the population of these countries
without anneXing the countries them
selves. Such All increase of the popula-
tion adds to the strength of the Empire,
but it also imposes heavy burden upon
Germany for the maintenance of her nu-
merous children.
