How Sun Stroke Should be Treated.
It is advised that all perons suddenly at
tacked by sunstroke should have cold wa
ter thrown on the head and chest, followed
by rubbing the back along the spinal cord,
the limbs and the plexasse.3 at their junc
tion with the body. As soon as abla to
swallow, the patient should drink freely of
cool water, together with a little spirits of
hartshorn, diluted with water, laudanum

and pains, light restoratives, such as coffee
and broths should be used.
Among the protective means are sobri
ety, regular liours of sleep and meals, the
bath, by dip or sponging the skin in the
morning; light but sufficient dress, the
inner garment being merino, wool, or do
mestic cotton —the head to be covered and
shaded by a light, easy-fitting hat with a
wide brim. Near every building, the
walls of which are just being raised, there
Bhould bo a small temporary shed, in which
the brick-layers, hod-carriers and mortar
makers can retire for a few minutes, every
half hour or so, in the great heat of the
day, nnd wash their heads and faces and
necks with cold water.
Pedestrians should carry umbrellas, now
the more necessary when hats nearly with
out brims are all the fash'on. Awnings
jn front of stores, offices and shops at th;s
season aid in saving life and health and
are real blessings, U3 are tho shade trees oi
our city.
The Permanent Dry ug Up of (he Mls
SlS'tppi.
From tho St. Paul Pioneer, July 8.]
Old steam-boatmen declare that the signs
of the past four or five years point to the
permanent drying up of the Mjssissppi
river, reducing it from a stream navigable
for the largest boats the whole season to
one of uncertain navigation like tiic Mis
Bouri, passable at certain seasons, and the
rest of the year shrunk to a mere creek,
winding along among sand bars and shoals.
There is certainly somo change taking
place in our climate that is effecting our
lakes and rivers. They are greatly differ
ent in their habits from what they were
eight or ten years ago. The average of
water is steadily decreasing. Our “June
rise,’’ once ascertain as the coming of the
month, has totally ceased. The heaviest
rain, which once would have swelled the
river several feet, now do not scent to affect
it in the least. There are many theories
advanced to explain this. One is that the
climate is undergoing some change, which
seems plausible, as those who have studied
the meteorology of our State are convinced
that this change is taking place. Another
theory is, that the cultivation of the coun
try destruction of forests, aud other physi
cal causes have tended to decrease the rain
fall aud retard the flowing of extra mois
ture into the streams- Whatever maybe
the cause, the effect certainly exists, and
the same thing has been seen on all the
Wo&iem rivers, which are gradually shrink
ing up. I« our case, however, the evil is
less to bo feared, because our railroad sys
tem is so nearly developed that river navi
gation is not now the necessity it once was
to our commercial public. The river can
never again, whether it continues naviga
ble or uot, assume the important part it has
hitherto played in the development of our
State. We must look to the railroad to
continue bur civie prosperity. Destined
lobe a railroad center of the greatest impor
tance, the trade and commerce hitherto
brought us by the river must always con
tinue.

-To urcam of a millstone routed your neck
is a sign of what you may expect if you get
an extravagant wife. When a young lady
dreams of a coffin, it betokens that she should
instantly discontinue laciilg her stays tightly,
and always go warmly nnd'.thickly shod in wet
weather. To dream of a fire is a sign that—it
you arc wise—you will see that the lights in
your house are out before you go to bed. Tc
dream that your nose is red a? the tip. is an
intimation that voa had better icav ■> off brandy

OF THE
Stiito of* Arkansas.
I present myself before you ns a candidate
for the office of State Treasurer, and respeet
] fully solicit your support. To many of you 1
am known personally, and to many, not
unfavorably I trust, by reputation. Before
i lie war. 1 was Register of the Band Office at
Fayetteville, aud during the war, was elected
to the office which 1 now seek. With what
ability and faithfulness I filled these respec
tive offices, it is not for mo to say, but may 1
not believe that my conduct in the premises
I was such as to have merited tlte good opinion
of these conversant therewith ?
My father moved to Washington county
, when l was but a child : the fhate has been
I my home ever since: all the interests l Wave
are identified with her s aud yours. No one
I deplores her present condition more than f do:
nor will I yield to any one, whether in office
or cut of it, in the sincerity of my effects to
bring about that harmony of action and kiud
ncss of feeling among our citizens which arc
necessary to restore her to her former peace,
prosperity and happiness. One thing is cer
tain, that to put her back where she was bo
fore the war, we must bury the past, and ao
oept the issues of the war as the b.abU of ff
| lure action. To this end should all pur efforts
be directed.
In tine, fellow-citizens, if elected, 1 promise
yon to devote to the office whatever of ability
I may possess. What more can. I promise'
| Of course in that event, you shall hate my
! thanks, but that you well know.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
