A change Of a few degrees in the tenn
perature means life or death to many in
bur large cities at this season of the year.
Probably Chicago moro than any other city
has suffered most severely from the hot
wave of this week. On one day when the
Thermometer recorded over one hundred de-
grees, the persons found in the streets
of the city unconscious or dead crowded
upon one hundred in number, and three
hundred horses were found by the po-
lice, the dead cats and dogs being practically
innumerable. Here in Vermont, par tcular-
ly on the borders of the lake, we can form
but very inadequate idea of this state of
affairs. While during the past two or three
days the weather has been oppressively warm
toward evening the most delightful breezes
prevail and the nights are generally cool
and comfortable.

The Rutland Telegram says that the plat
form adopted by the recent democratic state
convention places that party unequivocally
upon record as demanding the enactment of
u ballot reform law which will secure the
privilege OF secrecy in voting, and adds that
the republican party has met in convention
declared its principles in set of reso-
lutions and says not Il word about ballot re
form. This appears to have been another
of the numerous over sights on the part of
the committee having in charge the drafting
of the resolutions. If the time has come for
ballot reform in this State however, the re-
publican party will see that it is forthcoming.
There publicans would be the gamers by the
adoption of such a reform.

Humors of the Convention.
From the It. Johnsbury Republican,
One of the funniest things that happened
in the convention was n frightful slip of the
tongue made by Rev Mr.. Klock Congre-
gational pastor at Pownol, who had been
selected to present Col George W Hook
er's name for lieutenant-governor Rev
Mr.. klock made very able speech, but
rather injured its effect by winding it up
with presenting the name of Col. George
w. Woodbury.n 1t showed where his
heart was, anyway.
Col. Hooker is greatly to be envied for
one thing, and that is his unvarying and
unlaing good humor. lie shook hands
cordially with l.. d. IIazen, esq, of st.
Johnsbury, a strong Grout man, and then
said "Mr. Hazcn, we are going to have

Senator Edmunds has asked for appro-
priations of s., 800 in the sundry civil bill
to be expended in bronze tablet for the
interior of the Washington monument, the
tablet to be adopted by the secretary OF
war. But the question arises who built
the monument, in order that his name or
their names may be suitably inscribed on
the tablet This monument was begun
way back in 1S41, and the various changes
since that date may make the settlement of
this question one of some difficulty, The
builders of the Grant monument should
take warning and hurry on their work to
conclusion, that this question as to who
built it may not arise to vex the tablet
makers OF fifty years hence.
