THE SUN TOOK A
SUMMER VACATION.
No Warm Weather At All in the Year
lean ana European data represent it
as having been phenomenal in almost.
every particular.
In New England the year went by
the name of eighteen -hundred and- j
starve to-death, and the summer
months are known in history as "the
cold summer of 1810," so remarkable
was the temperature.
Ke sun's rays seemed to he destitute
at, and ali nature waß clad in a
hue. Men and women were
tened and imagined that the fire
in the sun was being rapidly extin-,
guished, and that the world would soon
come to end.
Ministers took the phenomena for
the text of their sermons, and p.-eudo
scientitie men talked of things they
know not of, while the fanatics took
advantage of the occasion to form re
ligious organizations.
The winter of 1815-15 was very cold
in Europe, but comparatively mild in
this country, and did not in any way
indicate the severe weather that soon
prevailed.
Even the almanacs were silent, and
although the usual indications "about
now look out for cold weather," or
"this is a good time for snow," were
lered in the regular portions of the
ks devoted to the winter predic
ts, those used for chronicling the
isanter months had no such alarm
warnings,
anuary was mild, so much so that
for days the people allowed their lires
Rout, as artificial heart made the
ngs uncomfortably warm. This
,ut weather was broken by a
: cold snap in February, but this
imperature passed in a few days,
warmer condition, similar to the
month previous, set in.
March "came in like a lion, but went
out like a lamb." There was nothing
Mual in the climatic conditions of
lonth which differed from those
generally found in this windy season,
April was the advance guard of this
strange freak of temperature. The
early days were warm and bright, but
as the month drew to a close the cold
increased until it ended in ice and snow
and a very low temperature.
To those who delighted in balmy
May days and loved to watch the bud
ding flowers, the May of 181G was a
bitter disappointment. True, buds
came, but so did the frost, and in one
night laid all vegetation a blackened
waste.
Corn was killed, and the fields had
to be made ready for another planting,
but the people's astonishment was
complete when they found ice formed
to the thickness of half an inch in the
June, 'the month of roses," was

When he was appointed Chief Justice
she saw in it only a scheme to head
off his Presidential aspirations forever,
and said, half jocosely, half reproach

voted for the appointment: "'And you,

In 1868 she nearly succeeded in get

in session in Tammany Hall, Naw York '

with it by messengers, waiting anx- j

seemed to have arrived, and her heart i
leaped with joy. But the expected i
stampede did not come, and the impa

go herself to Tammany Hall. Indeed,
there were afterward some politicians
who observed that it she could have

Will Constitution be Submitted to Vote?
Should the Constitutional Conven
tion so determine, it can adopt a new
Constitution, take a recess, submit it
to the voters, and if it fails of ratliica
tiou before the people, the convention
can re assemble, amend the Constitu
tion it has adopted and promulgate It
as the Constitution, and no law iv the
laud will decide otherwise. ]
That is the opinion of several of the
leading men in the hotly, who quote
the decision in Kentucky, which State I
adopted a new Constitution, submit
ted it to the voters, it was approved,;
and the convention reassembled and
then amended the Constitution which
the voters had approved. A railroad j
company appealed the case and took
the matter before the Supreme Court, J
which unauimously held that the con
vention was the people and could do
whatever it liked and either submit it
to the voters or promulgate the instru-1
nieut as the Constitution of the State.
It is not unlikely that the conven-!
tion will keep the pledge made by the
Democratic convention at Norfolk and
submit the question to the voters
though some of the members thiuk it
would be better to adopt the Constitu
tion and then proclaim it as the organic
law of the State, thus removing it en
tirely from politics.—lliclnnond News.

Titus Describes His Remarkable Exploit
on Walls ofPekin.
Calvin Titus says that the most mag
niticent exhibition of nerve he saw dur
ing the Chinese troubles was by some
American infantrymen. One afternoon
on the march to Pekin pome of the
thirsty soldiers saw a well off to one
side of the line. They straggled along
toward it, but as each nan approached
he was shot down by a concealed Chi- j
nese sharpshooters, until five were
either dead or badly wounded. Still)
the men pressed on toward the well in
apparent indifference to the bullets of
tn? sharpshooter, and with increased
determination to get water for them
selves and comrades. Finally the
sharpshooter was discovered and killed
"ftyeiieofthem7 "
To the Newton Republican Mr.
Titus has told in a modest manner how
it happened that he was first to scale
th t Pekin wall. We quote from the
Republican's article as follows:
•'The officers, in a little group by
themselves, were discussing the possi
bility of scaling the wall. Titus, act
ing as orderly for one them, was stand
ing near, and he asked for permission
to make the attempt. Colonel Dag
gett eyed him closely and asked if he
thought he could do it. Titus replied
that he would like to try. The Colo
nel told him he might make the attempt

th extreme peril, there being con
stant danger of a misstep, a loose brick
and a fall to the ground below, Chi
nese soldiers might open fire on him
from above at any minute, and it seem
ed very probable that he would reach
the top only to be made a prisoner by
the Chinese there. His comrades below
watched him with breathless interest,
'ittle thinking that a deed was being
performed which would be heralded
throughout the length and breadth of
the country. The top was reached and
the young hero found himself on the
enemy's fortifications—the first for
eigner on the walls of Pekin since the
trouble began. A reconnoissance re
led to him that the Chinese were

AMERICAN HEROISM IN CHINA.
Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought
Conscience as a New Religion
I>r Spectator:
rolus Vulpes, of Sampson, your
Sy, has' a column long article on
science" in the Cincinnati Week
qnirerof June UOtti. He takes the
id that conscience is not a true
, but that brain and Bible are.
urse, he denies that conscience is
ling like the will of Cod to man,
as Count Tolstoi has just said it
ill the leading Sunday papers of
mntry.
*toi also says: "Let each one fulfil
ut confused and adulterated argu
that which each day his Consci
ommandshim, and he will rec
) the truth of the Gospel: 'If
c wish to do Cod's will, he will i
recognize whether my doctrine comes
from Cod, or whether I speak of my
own accord.' This is the point. Con
science calls for no argument—it
speaks, it gives peace upon obedience,
and the religious duty is done."
Cardinal Gibbons has delivered a
whole sermon on Conscience. In part,
hesajs: "What is the greatest need
of our times J Is it churches? They
are necessary for the dissemination of
Christian truth. Is it schools ? They
are most important., indeed; for they
mean an ability to earn a living to the
individual. Is it hospitals or asylums !
They are necessary and most useful in
the alleviation of the sick. But none
of these is the most important neces
sity of the age. What the times need
is sturdy manhood, which will be per
sistent in the carrying out of the die
tales of Conscience in social, political,
and religious life. The times need men
who will follow their Conscience rather
than expediency, principles rather
than popularity. * * The man who
follows his Conscience has but one
master—Cod, and he will enjoy the lib
erty and glory of the kingdom of Cod."
The Congregationalist editor of the
New York Independent, William Hayes
Ward, says of the above: '-It is an ad
mirable statement of what I believe.
Thousands of leading thinkers, writers
aud Christians are seeing that Consci
ence must be the new religion of th
day. Even Ingersoll said the age need
ed "more Conscience."
