Wabash, Ini>., July 24.—The people
of Wabash will hot soon forget the awful
heat ofjaet Saturday and Sunday, wlien
the branny fkios looked down npon the
white limestone which glowed in the tint
sunshine and sent up currents of heat, if
anything more unbearable than the
burning rays tliat descended from above.
On the evening of that sweltering Sat
urday your correspondent met a lieing
so strange and out of harmony with his
surroundings that a repetition of his
wonderful story cannot fail to interest
the reader, jv*-n though that reader may
tsk e no thought of its scientific phase,
which, if it has a counterpart in the
whole world of experience, i* unknoan ,
to tlte writer. Just at dark, Um* writer,
as he w as passing the Wabash J#qx»t,

era, and yet, strange to say, it has tiow
Itisa of intelligence, pressing and ]>ush
than any of those things which command
the time and talents of men.
While it is true tliat the agriculture of
this x-xtensive country is conducted ou u
scale unknown in ancient or iu modern
times, yet iu these important depart
ments of knowledge we ore singularly
•jellemit. No other field holds out a
more, inviting prospict to the diligent
and the enterprising, a hl^-wark which
may till the noblest ambition. There is
-no closed door to-tho followers of this 1
art. As illustratid from the days of
George Washington down to the success
of the poor farmer’s boy of the Valley
of Virginia with his reaper endowning
seminaries, orphans’ homes and univer
sity professorships, there is no temporal
interest of humanity which exceeds in
ithportance that of your pursuit, aud all
others it has outlived. “It survives
Turk and Time and Goth.” --Upon it the
merchant and mechanic, the bench r nd
bar'and the forum and camp depend.
Indeed, as has been said: “The necessi
ty of this art is evident, since tjiis can
live withont all others, and no one other
without this. The principles of it be
ing the principles of all nature, earth,
water, air and the son and the apa, ij
comprehends of philosophy more than
any one profession, art or science in the
world besides. ” • , s
Let me call your attention to what an
able essayist wrote two "hundred years
ago. He said: - “Who is there among
onr gentry that does not entertain a
dancing-master for his chillrcn as soon
as they are able to walk, but did ever
any father provide a tutor for hia son
to instruct him betinn-a in the nature
and improvement of that land he inte nd
ed to leave him?” That ia a superfluity
and thus a great defect in oar manner of
edrateon, and therefore 1 could wish

I was not like other children when 1 was
about one year and a half old, before I

the neighbors were greatly puzzled at

were the scientific men who examined
me in later years. I was tho wonder of

while other children in winter went
about iu heavy woolens, and shivered
with cold at that, I played by the road
side wearing thin summer clothing, while
my body was flushed with heat and my
face suffused with perspiration. When
summer came again, and birds sang, and
the sun’s fierce rays beat npon the white
roads of Alsace, an my little companions
frolicked upon the green sward and
waded the brook, I cried with the cold
and sought warmth indoors. The seasons
were just reversed for me.”
“But when you touched the ice and
snow, were they not cold to you?” wae
asked.
“Yee, as they would be to you in the
summer time. The frozen ground, too,
was cold, but the icy atmosphere that
swept over it was stifling to me as a
siroooo. What was most peculiar, per
haps, was the fact that toe lower the
thermometer sank the warmer 1 got, and
the higher it arose the colder it seemed
to me. To prove to yon that it was not
