A SINGULAR suggestion has been made, and if-the dogma of infallibility is true, we do not see" why all the difficulty between France and Prussia might not be settled at once. The suggestion is, that the Pope being now infallible, should at once settle the rights and wrongs of the Franco-Prussian contest—that is, let us know which of the two belligerents has the better cause—has been received with unseemly mirth by some of our contemporaries. The New York Sun, in particular, has scouted it as absurd but in reality there is nothing either absurd or ludicrous about it—supposing the infallibility dogma to be sound and well-estab-lished. It is true that the Pope is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra, as head of the Church, but then he can speak ex cathedra whenever he pleases. He is not in the position of a Court of law, which, however great its wisdom, can decide nothing until a bona fide case is brought before it, by real parties in a controversy. His position is that of a guardian or overseer, not of an arbitrator. and he is uot bound to keep silence till his opiuion is asked for. He can promulgate it any time he pleases, and, indeed, is bound to promulgate it whenever he thinks it will do any good.

IF THERE is any one thing that the Democratic party particularly prides itself upon it is its time out of mind hostility to all kind of monopolies. This opposition is the high plume feather in the Demociatic cap, the most consistaut thing in all its platforms. And yet, the Terre Haute Journal, the able and distinguished, the popular and leading Democratic paper in this portion of the State, has Deen for more than two years itself, a partner in one of the most odious and illiberal monopolies in the whole Northwest. And even to-day, when this "Western Associated Press," is being exposed in all its naked deformity, it clings to its little exclusive privilege, with the tenacity that a starving dog cling to a dry bone.

THE Journal speaking for the whole "Western Associated Press," ef which it is the veiy head and front, says .that if the GAZETTE were to apply for admission into that body of monopolists, it would be "promptly refused."

This would be cruel, but the Journal must recollect that the GAZETTE has the privilege of selecting its company.

The mortal remains of Agostina, the celebrated heroine of the siege sustained at Saragcssa against the French, have been removed from Centa, where she died a few years back at a very advanced age, to her native city. At all the towns through which they we-e carried, including Madrid, they were received with military hono:s, attended by commissions of the several corporations.

A LETTER from London to the New York Times, speaking of the last resting place of Dickens, says: "The house at, Gads Hill remains now as the writer left it. 1 am glad to learn that there is a prospect that the Corporation of Rochester may purchase it aDd keep it sacred. Almost all Mr. Dickens' manuscripts are in the hands of Mr. John Foster, who is best known to the literary world as the author of a biographical sketch of Oliver Goldsmith, and who read Mr. Dickens' proof-sheets.

Hot Summers.

From the records kept atNuremburg, in Bavaria, we get the following interesting facts:

In 1132 the earth cracked by reason of the heat, the wells and streams in Alsacs all dried up, and the bed of the Rhine was dry. In 1152 the heat was so great that the sand exposed to the sun's rays was hot enough to cook eggs. In 1160 great numbers of the soldiers in the camuaign against Bela died frofn heat. In 1276 and 1277 crops of hay and oats comp.etely failed. In 1303 and 1305 a man could have crossed dry shod over the rivers Seine, Loir, Rhine and Danube. In 1393 and 1394 a multitude of animals perished by the heat, which was so great Uiat the harvest dried up. In 1440 the heat was extraordinary. In 1538, 1539, 1540 and 1541, the rivers were nearly all dried up. In 1556 there was a great drouth, which extended over nearly the whole OJ Earope. In 1615 and 1616 there was in Italy, France and the Netherlands an overpowering heat. In 1648 there were fifty-eight consecutive days of extreme heat. 1678 was very hot, and as were the first three years of the eighteenth century. In 1718, it did not rain a single time from April until October The growing ^rain was burnt, the river3 dried up, the theaters (but wherefore is not stated), were closed by the command of the police. The thermometer showed thirtythree degrees Reaumer, equivalent to one hundred and thirteen degrees Fahrenheit. In irrigated gardens the fruit trees bloomed twice. In 1723 and 1724, there was great heat. The summer of 1746 was hot and dry, the growing grain being calcined. 'it did not rain lor months. 1748, 1754, 1760, 1767,1778 and 178S, were years in which the summers were extremely hot. In the famous comet year—1S11— the summer was warm, and the wine produced that season was very precious. In 1818 the theaters had to "be closed on account of the heat, the highest temperature being thirty-five Reaumer, or one hundred and twelve Fahrenheit. During the three years of the revolution of July, in 1830, the thermometer stood at thirtyix degress centigrade,about ninety-seven Fahrenheit. 1832, during the uprising ol the 5th and 6th of July, the temperature was about the same.

NEW YORK, Jnly 27.—The special correspondence of the Iribune, under date of the 24th inst., writes from Berlin that the Prussian headquarters were still in that city.

Prince Frederick Charles is in command of the army of the Rhine. It is considered as certain, in Berlin, that Napoleon was counting on the disloyalty of part of Southern Germany, aud planned a sudden movement across the Rhine before Prussia could concentrate any considerable force. He was bitterly disappointed by the unanimity of all Germany, and not daring to risk a movement northward, with the south German army his flank, has certainly delayed, and perhaps altered his original plan of the campaign. ,:-

It is believed no advance can how be made at any point without risking a general engagement

A FEARFUL SCEJfE.

Thrilling Adventures with Wild Beasts in an Express office—A Monkey Sitting in Hot Sea 1 ing-Wax—An Ape Falling into a Glue Pot—A

Spots.

Gorilla Changing his

The life of an express agent has its dangers and difficulties as well as pleasu -es, and also at times is marked with thrilling escape and wild adventure. The agont that handles the packages marked "this side up with care," and in the excitement of business reverses the order of things, stands a good chance of beinj "blown up" as he who drops a, can containing nitro glycerine. Some queer express matter is handled occasionally, sue! as live rattlesnakes, marked "handle carefully,'.' a brace of fancy fowls, wild cats and caiis, marked bone turkey, which contain glycerine and other explosives too numerous to mention. We have a case in point. On Saturday last a box resembling a chicken coop was received at the the Titusvilie office of the Union Express company, marked "D. Rice, Titusvilie, Pa., (Half-dozen grapes.) Do not annoy the contents," At fiist, the attaches of the company paid but little attention to the "coop," which from its marks was supposed to contain boxes of early grapes, which the shipper desired handled carefully to avoid contusion and decay.

The day passed, but the consignee called not for his fruit, and measures were discussed as to the best manner in which to collect charges upon the same, when all discussion was ended by the "contents" of the box making a charge themselves for, in the twinkling of the extreme end of a lamb's back-bone, no less than several bald-headed, sweet-scented, mischievous monkeys had jumped from this Pandora's box and had taken posse ssion of the office. It seems that the intelligent assistant express agent at some point had intended to mark the box •'half-dozen gray apes," but differing from Webster in his spelling, had thus caused the mistake and detention of a box of supposed fruit, which in reality was a consignment of moral monkeys for Dan Rice's show, and which, instead of capering nimbly about upon the backs of the sacred cattie to the lascivious pleasing of a cornucopia at Dan's great show, had been wasting their sweetness on the desert air., until hunger and thirst compelled a raid upon the express office.

But no time was lost. The doors were secured, and armed with sticks of sealing wax, money packages, and C. O. D. packages, the force of the company ral-: lied, and lively chase began. The baboons chattered, the employes indulged themselves as did the army at Flanders, and from one end of the office to the other the tide of battle rolled, while far above the din of conflict could be heard the voice of Robinson giving orders, amid the crash of falling boxes and the smell of singed hair as the apes dashed over the candle for melting wax. "But the battle is not to the strong," if it had been the apes would have carried the day, for the atmosphere was filled witli a mingled odor of scorched hair and polecat. The leader of the "What is its" sat down in a pool of melted sealing wax, and in an instant was rooted to the spot. A second was demoralized by a quart bottle of ink, which Striking bim upon the top knot, showed *-'4 if the leopard can't change his spot* w. ~Qfl.key can. A third ape fell into* the ti.

Ftom the Hartford Churchman. Wife Murder.

It is a terrible feature in the columns of the daily press that hardly a single number but contain* soma fe .rfulstory of th especial form of brutality.

It is a subject which "ought to*' be brought to the attention of those who are now legislating upon this matter. We have heard it argned from as a reason for granting further facilities for divorce, and we wish to say that this is an inference we utterly deny. The effect of facility of divorce is to make the marriage bond sit lightly upon the community, and to reuder the relation of husband and wife a partial instead of a binding one. Now, not one man in ten of those who have murdered their wives did so to rele se himself from the bonds of matrimony.

It is simple folly to attempt such a thing, when it is almost certain that the perpetrator would be prevented from marrying again. The murder is the consequence of provocation arising from mutual unhappiness. It is commonly done in hot blood and without premeditation. The unhappiness is due to two causes—hasty marriages, and the possibility of separation working unwillingness to make the best of an irrevocable union. Divorce lies at the root of much of the "incompatibility of temper" which prevails, of the admission of preferences, and of the general disturbance of the peace of the home. It confuses the whole relation of man to woman, and therefore it, and not the lack of it—should be answerable for this growing crime. irnai,):

CINCINNATI, July 27.—The game between the Red Stockings and the Athletics, of Philadelphia, resulted—Athletics. 11 Red Stockings, 7.

THE great gam^ is over, aud it was ended in the defeat of the Red Stockings by score of 11 to 7. Game was called promptly at 3 o'clock p. m., the Reds at the bat. The play was very fine from the first, and so closely contested that no runs were made until three innings had been played, when, after again whitewashing their opponents, the Athletics scored one run.

Near ten thousand people were present, and good order was maintained throughout the game. The Reds were outplayed, but had the umpiring been more satisfactory, the victory of the Athletics would have been larger. Considerable money changed hands upon the result, and the Cincinnatians are not in the best of humor over their.defeat.

Following this came another Chicago for the unfortunate Cincinnati club and four runs for their opponents, leaving the score at the end of tiie fifth inning toO. The sixth inning opened with McVey at he bat, who went out on a foul, closely followed by George Wright, and then Gould covered himself all over with glory by making a home run and the first score for the Reds. The remaining innings were played with varying success, but the superior play of the Athletics,1 with the assistance of the umpire, one John Boake, of the Buckeye club, secured1 them a substantial victory.

After the treaty of Prague, in 1868, several conferences were heid at Berlin between Count Von Bismaik and the French Ambassadors on the subject of an alliance. Some of the ideas set forth in the Times we»e then advanced^ but the French Government never had any knowledge of the project described. At the interview mentioned the Emperor rejected them. It can escape no one that the publication on the part of the London Times is designed merely to influence public opinion in England.
