LET US learn, however piuadotfcal lt may sound, to take the hot weather coolly. Hot weather, as the summer months go by, we are sure to have. But we can endure these vicissitude* of temperature wltb equanimity, or we can add intensity to the heat i»j' our fret and worry. We ought n«t to lexpeet to drive ourselves at the sum" pace, to be sure, wheu the mercurv is In the nineties, as when the weather is more temperate. But it will be found that occupation will divert tiionght. from inevitable discomfort, and that we are a great deal more comfortable wher. quietly busy than when doing nothing but thinking how hot it is. We may remember, moreover, that it will be no Jong time till the hot weather Is past and we are shivering again. SOME people talk about the news paper writer .who uses the term "dull thud." but no one yet has sa!d a word about that horrible, blood curdling headline. "The Eagle Screams." Why QII earth all the newspapers in the land should annoanee that fact In big black type is passing strange. What if he does scream ? This is a free country, and if the eagla wants to get "full" on the fourth and "scream" a little it is no reason why the papers should expose him before a fastidious public. Any number of men get flgh'Jng drunk on the "glorious." and y*>ll and scream en ough to split their throats, but nothing is said about It. but the poor eagle must be.jnade an example of. But the time m coming wlien tbe newspaper man who uses tbe term "eagle screams" will be plaoed on the same footing as the one who writes about the ."dull thed," rfnd both will bo relegated to gether to some insane asylum.--lEn, G«T your Sheep Wash at Barblan Bros.

On jtceoant of the prevalence of Diphtheria iu various.portions of Mc- Ilenry Co., we deem it of importance that the public be informed as to Uie best modes of prevention and control of this fearful malady.

Parents should make it their personal business to securu these in the home eud nursery; and to see that those in ch-.irjce ot schools, etc., nrc ntsw mimltui of these important matters. Children are more subject to •tipSttheria than H IUIIS, and the disease »8 more fatil with them; lie nee the necessity of the*e prertutioason their behalf. 5. During the exi^ience of a case of dipthsria iti the neiijh!<orh'»o.|, <lo not nesloct any sor«ne*s of the'throat, however slight, until assured ot its harmless nature by the family physician. 5 unless Hosulutely necessary.do not come in contact wish, oviahale the breath of, one sick with sore throat. Avoid kissing, or eat ing and drinking in comuiou with such sick person. 6. Uit>theria has so often appcired where nncle.inly >-i»rn!itions hive prev.iile l, where it could not he traced to continuous prop-tya. tion bv contagion, that its relation to ttltli as a cause may be assumed for sanitary pur- poses. It is immaterial whether the filth exists in visible ami disgnstiug tonus, sur.li a» the gar- bage heap, the cess-pool or the privy vault, or in the invisible and possibly inodorous gases from an illv-constructed sewer; from decaying vegetables in the cellar, or in the poisonous exhalations of the human breath and body in uoventilate! rooms. All those undoubted causes of ill health should be at once abated. 7. Been use ofthe fact stated in No. S, an adult may Venture, when necessary, to come in contact witii a c.tsc of iiipiitiieria,; but no child should ever las so exposed, either di rectly or indirectly. Adult* who are com pelled io visit such cases should tiikc the pre caution, to hathe and change clothing before going near a child. Children should lie pre vented Irom entering ttie water-closet or privy into which riipihcria discharges are thrown, oven after diNinfuction. In short they should be removed at once and de lutte- lyUomany possibility of contagion during the existence of H uane. S. Cats, dogs, swine end some other of the lower uniinal* are known to bo ouhjec.t to diphtheria, and fatal casus ntnong h .man be i.ig$ have beun contrarlcl from thorn. Avoid therefore, having anything to do with a cat, dog cow, liog or other animal suffering from any throat disease, until it is known Suot to be diphtheria. 9. Outbreaks of the diphtheria have been traced 10 five carriage of llie contagion by the wind. Therefore it it advisable to close the windows and door*, and avoid, as much as possible, the side ot a house towards a known lniected house or locality, especially during the prevalence of high winds from that direc tion. to. There are no sper.i.lc* or antidotes for iiipthena. Tlie resort to duch can. ,«io no pos sible good, ana uiay lead to harm. ITS CONTROL. 1. Diptherla is, at tiiuos, as virulent aad contagions as small pox. I.ikf small pex« too, it is not always easy le dcteci lis character during the early stages, Therefore, when one has sore throat, tool breath, wilh some fever--and especially if t ere is dipthoria in the nuigiilHH'lMod-- tlie sufferer should heat uiice M-parotcd from all other pefsons, ex cept the necessary attendants, until it is ascertained wuotimr the disease be diptherla or other contagious distasc. It this prove lo be tuo case the, following precautious should be at once adopted, i'iiesj arc. »uli*tautUlly, the sauie as already recommended bv tho Stans ttoard ofr hi the <ilr«Hh»r oM I small po\: AicV Awia-The room selected for the sick should be large, easdy ventilated, and as far from the living aud sleeping roJins of other membors of the family as it is prac ticable to have it. Alt ornaments, cartel*, drapery and articles not absolutely needed in the room should be removed. A free circula tion of air from withnut should lie admitted, liotli by night and day--there is no better dis. intectaut than pure air. I'lace the bed as near as possible in tlie center of the ropm; but eare should, of course, be taken to keep the patient out of draughts. If the room connects wit bothers that must be occupied, lock all but one door for en trance and exit, and fxsten to the door frames at the top, Ixutoai an t si'los, shoots oi cheap cotton cloih, kept tvet with thymol wttzr, or chloride of zinc solution-- two dracuius of clilo*-ide sine to a half gallon of water. Over the door to be use.I, the aucet must not be tickcd at the b>ttnm nor along the full length of the lofk side of the frame, but alxiut Ave foet m-iv be left free to be pushed askln; this slieec, however, must lie long enough toallotv ten or twelve incheito lie iu folds upon the fl-mi', and must, also, be kept wet Aviili the disinfectant. PrecnUion* in the Sick ltorrm.--All discharges from the nose am* month of the patient should be received on rags aad immediately burned. Night vessels should be kept sup plied with a quart or so of tiie 0>/>p«rai IHtin- /ecldtU, into which all dischaiges should be received. All spoons, duties, etc., used or taken from the sick room should be put.in boiling water at once. I A pail or tub of the Zinc Disinfectant should be kept in the sick room, mid into ".his all Clothing, blankets, sheets, towels, etc., used about the patient or in tho room should be dropped immediately after use, and before l>eing removed from tho room. Tliey should then bo well lioileri as soon as practicable. AttetuiatUs.--Sot more than two persons- one of them a skillful, professional nurse, if IKtstible--should be employed in the sick room, and their intercourse with the other members of the family should be as much restricted as possible. (n the event that it becomes necessary for an attendant to go aw«y from the house a coinplf te change of clothing should be made, using such *s has not been exposed to infec tion;' the hands, fice aud Itafr should be wnshed in thymol water, or chloride of Sine solution. MinxUaneotu.--So inmate of the hoase. dor. ing the continuance ot the disease, should venture into any public conveyance, or as semblage or crowded building, such a* a church or school; nor after it* termination until permission is given by the he ilth au thorities, Letters must not he sent from tho patient, and all mail matter from tho house should first be subjected to a dry heat ot -JSU-3(M)deg. Fahr. Domestio animals, dogs, eatu, etc., ihot»ld not bo ullowed to enter the room of the pt- tient, or. setter still, slituId be exclude.! from tire lioine. During tho entire llliioss the privy shoijlrt bo thoiwHightj di«lnfsnt«d with the copperas disinfect-int. three to five gallons of which should be thrown iiU<i tho vaplt evfry three op tour days, Wates otqsets should bo «lis. infected by pouring a quart or soot this dis infectant into the receiver after each use. Care After Recovery.-- Kecent authorities ftronounoo riiptheria patients dangerous, and iabla to eoiuinttticttte the disease by their hrcsth and excretions, or bv contact with theii persons, for a period of forty days from tlie beginning ot the disease, lu any oyent such a person should not l»oallowed to assocl. ate witli others, nor to attend ar-hoql, chwroh, or any public assembly, until the throat and any sores which have been on the lips and nose are entirely healed; por until, in tlje judgment of (he attending physician (wl)0 should certify to that effect) or of tht! health oflicer, such associa'.ion will not endanger others, Care should be taken that the cloth ing worn by con vale scents has not been ex : posed to t'l'o infection, or has been thoroughly disinfecton. The g:ii'meius worn at tho tinje of being taken ill shouM l»e cured lor at once, lest others contract the disease through handling thorp. 2. Cases of diptherla shonld be proir tptly Tc ' ported to the proper health authority, either li>- thp attoiding physicians or by ths house holders. l«laln and distinct lio'tlces in the form of placards khould bo placed tipoa the house or premises where there is a case of diphtheria.and cnildren,especially should not bo al'owad to enter such bouse. Notice should also be given to alt pnblic schools, of the locality of any hottso in vtyich there is diphtheria, and the Scholars should be warned against visiting or playing pn IUj j|)fucted premises. 3. Immediately upon receipt of notice of the existence of a case of diptqeria, the health ofticey should visit the locality and secure prompt compliance with the precautions nltovo set forth. He should .see that the proper placards are duly posted ^ should no tify the schools: take charge of funerals of those lyinft of this disease; superintend the disinfection of rooms, clothing and premises; and. Anally, dive official certificates of re. covery.and of freedom from lability to com municate the ilisease to others.

In the event of death, the el»(titRg In whl«h the bodv is attired shoaM be apttoaled with tbymet water, the My wmwel i* a disinfectant cerecloth (a sheet thoiV»ughlr soaked in the alar, dislnfectaat, deuble strength) and plaoed in an air tight en An, wMeftiitormikSiMt nick room vmtil removed for burial. No public funeral sboald be a!- »we«t, either at the house or chferclt, and no anme persoas should be allowed to go to the cwflMtety than are necessary to luter the corpse. n. After recovery or de*th all articles worn hy, or that have come in ennttet with the patient, together with the rooiu and ail Its con ton ta should be thoroughly disinfected by htM-niiW sulphur. To do mis, have alt win- 4ows, Ore-places, flues, aey-hotes, doors and ether openings, securely closed, Ity strips or sheets of paper meted over them. Then place en the hearth or stove, or on Vtcks set In a wash-tub containing an inch or so of water, an iren vessel of live coals, npon which throw three or four pounds of sulphur. All articles in the room and others ot every description that have been exposed to infec- t:on, w -ich cannot be washed or »ui>jcctcd t«» dry heat, aud are yet too valuable to lie burned must be spread out on chairs or rocks; mattresses or spring l>e<ls set up so as to have both surfaces exposed; window shades and curtains larl out at full tcngth, and every effort made to secure thorough exposure to the sulphur fnines. The room should then lie kept tightly closed for twenty-tour hours. After th's fumigation. Which tl will do BO harm to lepeat, the floor and wood work' should lie washed with Soap and hot water; the waits and celling whitewashed, or, if pnnered, the t<aper should he removed. The articles which have bee* sublecud to fumi. gation shouId he exposed for several days to sunshine and fresh air. If the carpet has unavoidably been allowed to remain on tlie floor durint; the illness, it should not be re moved until after the fumigation; but must then be taken up, beaten and shaken In the open air, and allowed to remain out of doors for a week or more.

BURGLARY.--On last Friday night a burglar gained admittance to tlie house of August Walters and spooeeded in getting off with a pair of fine boots and pants and a sum of money. He worked so quietly that nQ one was dis turbed. A young fellow about 91 years old, smallish facc, and dark mustache, was seen about the premUas tlie same evening, aud he Is supposed to be the thief. It would be wel) for people to keep their doors and windows well fastened and officers shqu}d be on the lookout for any tramps 4tift«rei Ing to tbe above doscrlption. In the town of Richmond, at work on, a farm, is an Indian in(erf reter. once, for a period of twentyt|*fo months, ein- ployed bv General Crook that capac* ity at Forts Bentoj* and Scully, In Mot,, tana. His name. Is .Joseph D. Lamp, and his age is 3S, Be was born at Stevens' Point, WU\ H* wont to the Western plains whe% abo»t H. and be came a herder In tii^e wilds, and it was there tba\he acq1uli»«>a knowledge of the Indian toijguei which afterward made his seyvitps so yalfpable to Gen, Cook a? we^ a% t® Gte"- Custer, one of whose stxMtts ha «ta& (M a period of three months. Be speaks three of the Indian tongue*. Vl»«l Ogalalla Sioux. Brule Sioux and. Assennlboyne. There is a sl«o,ilacity bftween the first two, but tbe test is. a totally different ton gue, Mr. the writer th|*»l he attribute* lb# *eUlt¥ with he acquired the Indiao langttatfM to the tact that lie also was c6oversant with the English, Canadian French and German languages before he took up the study of Indian. His knowledge of Indian relics would be the delight of a collector of such, aud we would advise any one having a collection of arrow heads, spears, axes, etc., to employ liim to classify them. We have seen a col lection of his classifying and labeling and were surprised to observe tbe num ber of parcels into which such a colle^ tiou can te divided. From a mi seel laneous collection of these relics lie will quickly sort out the different kinds, and what was before an unmeaning jumble of stone Implements becomes a classified and Valuable collection. Among the arrows, spears and a^tes in the possession of R. C. Bennett, we find the following: Fox game arrows and Fox target arrows; Menominee came and target arrows; Blackfoot war and game arrows;Chippewa game arrows; Ogalalla Sioux game, war and target arrows; Ogalalla Sioux spear and battle axe; Brule Sioux game, war aud target arrows, and battle axe. Mr. Lamp car ries with lilni a number ef souvenirs of his Indian service. One is a poisoned arrow head front which he received a wonffd ever Hg^right eye while herd ing. 'Tlie redsl&n crawled up ne*r en ough to let fly the arrow, but he forgot to crawl away ag^ln--in fact Mr, Lamp made a "good Indian ' ef him. Another is a scar from a rapier thrust got while scouting. An Indian struck down tlie Lieutenant with his tomahawk, and seizing his rapier as he fell made a lunge at Lamp's throat. Iu warding the blow he received the blade length wise of his left foiearin. there being a distance of 4 Indies between the point of entrance and exit. That Indian was killed at the moment by a comrade. Another Is a scar on the right side of the upper forehead where a bullet searched for mischief. At this time the Indians were attempting to stampede a herd of Government cattle. Mr. Lamp does uot profess to be in love with tlie adventurous life wliieli he has led and does not think he will ever return to It again, unless under mora than usually favorable circumstances. His address is Richmond, 111., and he is uial(lQ|J)i home with Frank Potter. i Port Mill Preolnct.-L*ke%0. KI>ITOR PLAINDBAI.RR:--Haying hair Dslrly commenced this week.
