The intense heat was first felt in the region of St. Louis, where the thermometer ranged [tom 90 deg. to 100 deg. during the last three weeks 0! July. On July 16 it marked 100 dog. in the shade in St. hauls, and there were fifty-tour deaths on that day lrom the efleots oi the heat. During the heated term between 1,500 and 2,000 persons were reported at proatrated by the heat in that city. On -July 12, a hot air wave originated in Manitoba, preceded by heavy thunder showers. The wave advanced slowly toward the southwest. On July 16, it ranged irom ‘90 deg. to 100 deg. all over the Upper Lake region. St. Louis had been suflering tor several days previously, and it was believed that the heat in that city wee not due to the isothermal wave but to looaleauees and its Southern climate. The hot wave reached New York in its intensity on the morning 01 July 18 and lasted until July 22, when the thermometer tell to 77 deg. During the heated term it reached 97 deg. as the highest, which was lower than the record of yester- day. Durlng the few days of intense heat 139 cones of eunstroke were reported in New 7 York.

The hot weather set in June 24, and from that day until July 21, It ranged well up in the nineties, without the break 0! a single day. the highest point: being July 8 and 9, when the temperature was 99 deg. The loweet point wee on July (13, when it was 97 deg. The rent of the season was not marked by any great degree of heat. In 1875 the first hot day was July 6. when -88 deg. we: reeehed. The temperature did not roeeh 85 deg. egniu until the 15th of August. There were some very hot den in the latter part of August endthe beginning 01 September. the nights being quite cold, there being on some days 3 diflerenee o! 30 deg. in the thermometer. The summer of 1877 was not a hot one. The thormometor first marked 90 dog. on J nly ,25, md was 93 dog. on the 26th.

There are cattle well fitted to supply the demand for just this kind of meat. and they are rapidly gaining favor with breeders in the Weet.

The balloon went down, and knowing it would rebound the moment it struck, he told Miss Allison to turn her back to the side of the car. She did not seem to understand. and before he could catch her the car struck the water, he striking it with his back ; she fell upon her face. Their clothing was drenched in a moment. The balloon rebound- ed, became unmanageable, and began a journey over the bay at a terrific speed. Every few moments it would strike the water. often submerging the car and its occupants, and bounding up and away. The water was first struck about two and a half miles from the shore. and the space was traversed inless than three minutes. Oolgrove saw the danger ahead, and with a word of warning to his companion prepared to meet it. At this time he' was holding her with one arm. to prevent her from injury when the balloon struck the water, and with the other endeav- oring to guide the balloon. He tried to lift her over the side of the car. but the balloon fell suddenly and then rebounded. The two were thrown apart. As it came down again 1 some oi the ropes which attach the car to the ; balloon broke, the car turned partly over, and the rebound flung them at a furious rate ‘along the ground. Colgrove preserved his presence of mind and soon gained his feet. to see his fair companion flying past him. He ran to and picked her up. finding to his dis- may that she was bleeding about the head and face. A cursory examination showed that she had received a scalp wound. her lip was out and one of her teeth knocked out. Golgi-eve was slightly injured on his head and right arm, while his left leg, formerly injured by a balloon accident at Winchester. Ind... was hurt again. though not badly. The point at which the voyage ended is known as ‘ Chisholm’s Point, near San Lorenzo. From‘ there they had a dreary journey of two ‘ miles through marshy land, where they had \ to wade and pick their way from spot to spot ‘ with great care. They finally reached a farm house, received a buggy, drove to a small flag station and came on the train to Alameda. where Miss Allison was advised by aphysicien to remain. Colgrove came on to the city to tell the story. He says that he is not tired of ballooning. but is ready at any time to go up again. It was fortunate that the disaster was not any more serious than it is. Neither is badlyinjured. and Miss Emma Allison. correspondent of the New York Graphic.

On returning to our own cemg 31m eeme evening we found thet away in the valley some Zulus. per. hape a dozen. leading away some horees. which, with our glasses. we could tell had European saddles. Skirting the base of one at these bills and about a mile lrom us, we saw a group ot horsemen, not ridin to- gether as a military escort would be expected to do, at a moderate centerâ€"the only pace a Cape horse will useâ€"but racing at lull speed, one by one, in the most straggling and dis- orderly manner. A terrible foreboding came upon us at this sight. What could such palpable flight mean? With our whistles we signalled to our scouts to close in to i our little party and we then pushed steadily on to learn the worst. About six minutes brought us to a point which overlooked the road beneath. where the horsemen were still galloping. and we could now see that they were European troopers belonging to Bet. tington's Horse. What could this mean 7 Bottington's Horse we knew had to tarnish part of the Prince's escort, and Garey. who had been twice with His Highness before. was detailed in command. A iew seconds more and the terrible secret was revealed, and Carey, whore horse was almost dead heat and covered with team, was rapidly relating to General Wood the details I gave you yester- day. " Where is the Prince ?" exclaimed Wood, as he breasted his horse at some fallen trees which intervened and dashed. forward to meet the fugitives. " 8 ask, sir. what has happened the Prince 7" “ fear he is killed. sir," said one of the men.

We had ridden forward that afternoon some miles from our column, and were returning when we were signalled by one of our scouts to the effect that mount- ed men were coming toward as item the other side of the neighboring ridge. We had casually heard lrom messenger: in the course of the day that the Prince Imperial had gone out upon a_eketehing expedition. and an we to mount in the way described. It the witnesses had sufficient time to minutely describe the details of the Prince’s des- perate struggles, they undoubtedly had equal time and opportunity to have drawn rein and assisted him to mount. From all that we can glean of a reliable nature, it would appear that the one excep- tion of devotion and courage displayed in this otherwise disgraceful affair was exhibit- ed by the irlendly Zulu who was with the party. He it was who first discovered the proximity of the enemy. and who. not being mounted, might have had some excuse for trying to save his life by timely flight. but he stayed loyally and gallantly with his white comrades, and came back with quiet and de- liberate consideration to give warning 0! the concealed Zulus. Even then it would appear that he did not attempt to fly. but fought with his breast to the foe until over- come by numbers.
