 DYsPEpsA.- a man wishes to get rid of dyspepsia, he must give his stom ach and brain less to do. It will be of no service for him to follow any particu- lar regimen-to live on chaf bread, or any such stuff to weigh his food, etc., so long as the brain is in constant state of excitement Let that have proper rest, and the stomach will perform it's functions.

 But if he pass IA or 15 hours day in his office or counting room, and take no exercise, his stomach will inevitably become paralyzed, and if he put nothing into it but cracker day, it will not digest it. In many cases it is the brain that IS the primary cause. Give that delicate organ some rest. Leave your business behind you when you go to your home. ''.s'

 Do not sit down to your dinner with your brows knit and your mind absorbed in casting up interest accounts Never abridge the usual hours of sleep. Take more or less exercise in the open air every day. Allow yourself some inno- cent recreation. Eat moderately, slow ly, and of what you please, provided it be not the shovel and tongs. If any particular dish disagrees with you, how ever, never touch or look it. Do not imagine that you must live on rye bread or eat oatmeal porridge reasonable quantity of nutritious food is essential to the mind as well as the body. Above all, banish all thoughts of the subject. If you have any treatises on dyspepsia, domestic medicine, etc., put them directly into the fire.

 If you are constantly thinking and talking about dyspepsia, you will surely have it. Endeavor to forget that you have stomach. Keepa clear conscience; live temperately, regularly, cleanly, be industrious, too, but be temperate.

 A NOTED SrAa.-A celebrated stag, known as "The Doctor" belonging to Queen Victoria, was shot the other day by order of the Earl of Cork, Mas ter of the Royal Buckhounds. "The Doctor'' is spoken of as the best stag that was ever followed across country. During the last ten years, however, he became extremely artful. He saw through the business, and shirked his duty by all manner of expedients. He knew the whole region thoroughly, and when the hounds were after him he would go calmly into the nearest farm house, where he always got hospitable treatment. Once he squartered himself in bakers shop, and another time in 8 butchers. On two occasions he made his way into Windsor Castle and got in to the State apartments. "The Doc tor's'' last run was on Boxing Day. He ran for just fifteen minutes, until he saw house with an open door, and then walked leisurely into the drawing groom, where lady was sitting. The animal was extremely docile and intelligent, and his death, which was rendered nec- essary by an accident, is mourned by many old friends.

The sixth day of dreadful heat has passed
and still there is no substantial relief. The
"local storms" which the weather bureau
predicted for the Atlantic coast have wasted
their balm upon the sands of jersey or drifted
ont to sea and poured their refreshing waters
into the Atlantic The wind which blew over
the city Yesterday was as hot as the wind of
the desert. TIE roofs and pavements of suf-
fering New-York stll blaze in the angry sun.
\ million people pant for breath of cooling
air. Poisonous exhalatiOns rise from the fes-
tering streets. Cutters reek with fever
breeding stenches. Seventy persons dropped
dead from the heat in a single day, and the
bospitals are crowded with delinOus victims.
The night brings no rest, for it is as hot as
the dav. From the tenement quarters crowds
of balf-dressed men and women and children
hurry, when darkness comes on, to the
parks and open squares and the steps and
porticOes of public buildings In houses OF
the better class people toss all night sleepless
on their heated beds, or pass the midnight
hours at their windows longing for the cool
breeze which never comes, and fretting over
the oppression which is never relaxed. The
wretchedness is universal and to hundreds,
whose occupations expose them especially to
the influence of the sun, such day as yester-
day and Tuesday brings not merely suffering
but death.


II is at times like these that we see how
little our city has done to preserve the lives
and health of its poorer citizens, how few are
the breathing spaces in the crowded blocks of
houses. how foul are the streets and alleys
where the population is densest and the diff
Guilty of living most serious, how farcical are
the pretenses of street cleaning for which we
are taxed so many hundreds of thousands Of
dollars every year The principal thorough
fares and the quarters inhabited by the rich
and well-tO-do middle classes are dirty, though
they are no worse in all the meaner parts of
the city the atmosphere is literally sickenng.
Death at such times stalks through the streets
like pestilence, and the sunshine falls upon
us like a plague. We might do something to
check the mortality of these burning days.
The city might be cleaned-not merely swept
and scraped a little, but really cleaned. The
denominations of the tenements might be less
ened by a more vigorous sanitary supervision.
The hot pavements might be watered cOpi-
ously. The facilities for free bathing might
be greatly enlarged.


The great mortality however, of the last
few days is in a large measure tue result Of
individual impTudence. Perhaps majority Of
the cases reported as sunstroke might be justly
described as suicide The doors of the gin
shop are wide open day and night, and more
liquor was probably sold on Tuesday and
Wednesday than in four days of average Sum

The reactionary influences which were brought

However commendable may be the pretended
purpose of strengthening the friendly relations
between the Governments directly concerned


in the approaching conference, it is more than
probable that some ulteriOr design Is enter
tanned of devising the means of reaching such
desirable end. In speculating upon the sub
ject which will thus form the especial topic OF
discussion, several circumstances point to
the question of Papal Infallibility. 1t IS
stated that negotiations have been In progress
for an arrangement between Germany ana
Italy for a common course of conduct toward
the Pope, and that this arrangement was to
be cOnsummated by the visit to Berlin OF
Prince Humbert, the hereditary Prince of
Italy. The conflict which Prince Bismarck has
inaugurated with the Pope renders it neces-
sary to save his proceeding from the appearance
of a conflict of Protestant Government against
its Catholic subjects, that he should have the CO.
operation of some Catholic powers. Of these,
the most important from its direct relations
with the Pope, is Italy; and of little less i'm
portance is Austria. The result of the meet
ing in September may be an alliance OF
powers very different from the schemes of

The prosecution which was yesterday closed
in the trial of Stokes for the killing OF James
Fisk, ir., was chiefly remarkable for what it
failed or at least declined to establish. After
six months of preparation, it reveals nothing
of the incidents of the affair that was not
known two days after its occurrence, except
it be what the medical testimony has added
to our knowledge of the effect Of gun-shot
wounds. Only the bare facts of the shooting and
killing established at the inquest are reiterated
and nothing more of these than the defense
appears to have been ready to conccdc. The
fact is that the prosecution, except in the
clearness with which it has shown that Stokes
fired the fatal shots and that death was the
natural consequence, has established nothing
material The premcditation is left to be in
ferred solely from the hostile relations of the
murderer and murdered man.

prisoner gives an idea of the general line of
the defcnse-that of justiliable homicide; and

if the Dstrict-Attorney and private counsel

vance other reforms for which this people still
struggle. 1t is easy to understand, in view OF
the line of defense skctched out by Mr. Me-
Keon, why Mr.. John Graham, the counsel for
Tweed and the apologist of Cardozo, abandoned
the case on fimsy pretext. Ii will also ex-
plain the absence of many persons whose
evidence, it is charged, has been suppressed.
OF course, it is easier to narrate the circum-
stances of a murder like this and the causes
leading to it, as Mr.. McKeOn did yesterday,
than to establish, link by link, the proof of
every assertion made; yet the defense strongly
asserts its readiness to disprOve premeditated
murder on Stokes's part and to show that
other business led him to the fatal spot of rem
contre. 1t was also emphatically claimed that
it would be shown that Fisk was armed, and
that he drew his weapon to fire at Stokes.
In view of the evidence of the hall boys this
last attempt would seem to be a difficult one


The absence of public excitement in regard
to the matter, the freedom from morbid SYM
pathy with which the public look upon both
the victim and survivor of the killing, the
fairness of the Judge, and the intelligence of
