could only have been gotten up under the ma
ences Of that hottest OF stars. The heat invaded
all places; shade was as oppressive and eneryat

he could not avoid taking his share Of it. The City
was up to sweating point by sunrise and to melting
point by noon. The thermometer, in the shadiest
and coolest part of The Tribune office stood at go
at 2 o'clock Pm. We are thinking OF having the
tube shortened, to prevent the mercury rising so
high in future II all the thermometers in the City
were cut of at 75o, we should have a much more
comfortable time Of it,
The clouds made two or three spasnodic efforts
in the course Of the afternoon to give cool drench
ing to the perspiring earth. The rain came down,
presto without any warning drops as if old Eo-
lus, or Aquarius, or Jupiter Purius, had snatched
up a bucket and dashed its contents suddenly in
the "face Of creation" The only amusement Of
the day was in watching the scamperings OF those
who were IN the streets when the storm came down
unannounced. The most OF them were obliged to
tax to their heels and none got of less than half
drenched. The verdict OF the spectators, quietly
fanning themselves az the windows, was: "Served
EN- right-what business had they to be in the
streets such a day as this" At this writing,
about midnight) there seems little change. We
shall all lard the lean earth again TO morrow
Woe is us!

RECEPTION OF GARIBALDI-We notice in pro-
gramme published by French and German Social

Garibadi, statement that only the red badges will
be admitted This Of course applies only TO the
special societies who adopt such badges, and not
at all to the procession in general The Commit

Of their respective countries.

FIRE IsLAsD.-Mr. II. D. Thoreau returned
from Fire Island on Sunday afternoon last. His

Heve, investigating the plumber Of the wreck. We
hope he will succeed in bringing to justice the ring
leaders.
