AFTER much seeming indecision and
delay Riverside Park, New York. has
finally been selected as the resting
place of General Grant'sremains. The
country is almost unanimously Op-
posed to this selection. General Grant
belonged to the Nation and not to a
State and the people feel that he
should have been buried at Washing
ton, the Nations capital. His remains
will lie in state at Albany and New

on Saturday, August 8th. He will be
buried with military honors, Gen. Han

WE gave to our readers last week
the analyses of phosphates received
from DR.. Wolf, State Chemist. and did
1t, as have several of the State papers,
without receiving one penny in remu-
neratiOn. The Milford Chronicle thus
voices its sentiments on this subject:
We have received from DIR. Wolf
State Chemist, list of the phosphates
analysed by him, with their value. etc.
and polite suggestion that we pub
llsh the same for the information of
our subscribers. We wish to furnish
our subscribers with all the informa-
ton in our power; but ut the same
time we would like to make "A living
by doing it. And we fail to see why.
as State Chemist Wolf is appointed bv
the State at a liberal salary to furnish
this information to the farmers, that
the State should expect the news
papers to lay it before them for moth
ing. The space in our paper is our
stock in trade, and we cannot afford to
let it go for nothing The advertise
ment DR.. Wolf sent we should charge
SIU lOf one time; but II we are to do
such work for nothing, we will have to
exc out our living by begging or steal
ing. The State makes liberal prOvis-
ion to have these analyses made. and
small amount should be appropriated
to provide for their publication. 1t is
Il beggerly business for State that
brags on its financial standing to be al
ways compelling poor newspaper men
to work for it for nothing. Ifit is nee
essary for the farmers to know the re-
suit of these analyses, the State should
make the phosphate men pay for its
publication. 1t makes the insurance
companies pay for publishing its state
ment, and this business should be on
the same footing"
Though we published DR.. VOLTS list
free Of charge for the benefit Of our far
mer patrons, we most heartily endorse
the above from the Chronicle.

The intense heat which prevailed
over such vast extent of our terri
tory for eleven days was broken on
Sunday by a most refreshing rain.
storm. In some sections of the coun,
try the storm was one of great severity
being accompanied by vivid flashes OF
lightning and terrific peals of thunder
Here it was a gentle rainfall, bringing
incalculable good to the parched earth
The prOstratiOns by reason of the in
tense heat, have according to reports
in the daily papers, been exceedingly Y
numerous. Those of Sunday, in Phila-
phia, outnumbering any other day OF
the heated term. 1t is a most unusual
occurrence to have ten or twelve sue
cessive days of high range of thermom-
eter, each day forcing the mercury
above 90o and three or four times driv-
ing it beyond hundred. The Philadel-
phia Record in speaking of the heated
term says: During the past eleven
days, the period Of greatest heat, over
forty fatal cases in addition to a num-
Der of prOstratiOns, have attested the
terrible severity of the SUMS rays. The
maximum temperature during the past
eleven days was as follows: July 16.
92.40; July Is, 95.So; July IS, 90; July
10, 91.So; July 20, 95.S'; July 81, 96.90;
July %, 94.2o; July %, 91.9o July "a,
93.10; July %, 94.7'; July 26, 93.6o.
This exceeds the record for the Centen-
NAL year in point of continuity, as the
following statement of temperature for
July y,187G, on days when the ther-
mOmeter was above 9O7, will show:

Five sixths Of the saloon-keepers of
the country are foreigners. 1t is a
very singular fact, if the saloon busi-
ness is respectable business, that the
better class of Americans will not
engage in it. 1t pays well, and Amer
leans are not slow to go into anything
respectable that pays. The only con-
clusion that can be drawn is that
Americans do not consider the saloon
business respectable. Even the better
class of foreigners will not engage in
it. A number of Catholic priests will
not recognize saloon-keepers as Cath
olics; Bishop Ireland says the saloon
business is disreputable; the Plenary
Council held at Baltimore last year
denounced it; many German Protes-
tant churches will not admit to mem
bership anybody engaged in the man
ufacture or sale of liquor. Yet many
Of our good citizens will sign dram
shop keepers petitions for license.
The law puts the responsibility upon
them of licensing, permitting, a bust
ness which, without their signatures,
is prohibited in Missouri. Thousands
of dram-shops exist in Missouri be-
cause few good men who profess to
be temperance men, and who hold the
balance Of power around every saloon,
sign dram-shop petitions.-National
