Portable little broil, and are in fair way Of
being done brown before sunset. Lager
goes down, and the thermometer goes up; the
former in inverse ratio to the latter. The
thermometer is said to have reached some
fabulous degree Of altitude within the last half
hour, but one feels much more comfortable
to leave that point without inquiry; at any
rate Summer is abroad with all her hoops
spread and with sound Of harps and timbols,
whereat this part Of the world rejoices and
is seized with Saratogamadness. The spring
season has fairly closed, business is over for
a month, certain, and merchants are taking
account Of stock and buying through tickets
for all reputedly cool places.
Moonlight, music" &c, prevail I'M

have grand outdoor musical festival by
the whole force OF German artistes. who have
their opening performance on Sunday, JUS
tifying the movement on the ground that
the proceeds are to be appropriated to be-
nevolent purposes This does not 20 down
very well, however, in the present state OF
public sentiment, which is rather stirred up
on the Sabbath question. The Sunday pa
pers have been much aggrieved by the at.
tempt made to put down the crying Of news
papers on that day. These papers mostly
live by black mail, official printing, pufIs of
patent medicines and such other husks as
literary swine are reduced to feed on. They
can be immensely virtuOus, however, and, on
occasion, blarney about charity and that sort
Of thing, when everyone who is so uniortu
nate as to have any personal acquaintance
with their editors or proprietors, knows that
the extent of their charity would be com
prised in the offer Of gratuitous drink Of

IL IL too iI0r Weather to murder anybody,
SO we have nothing very interesting to Of
fer in that line. Panjeen's' murderer is
bound for a new trial, which must be re-
freshing thought to the poor fellow court
rooms in this weather are the nearest ap-
proach to purgatory, il that place consists, as
some philosophers think, of an aggregation
of vile scents" A mixture of different
nationalities causes compound scent which
is infinitely more detestable than the sper-
ate SAVIOR of each just as number OF mild
liquors Of different kinds will intoxicate,
though no one of them would if taken alone.
The principal subject OF conversation, in
business way, is the prospects OF the Fall
trade; there is some difference OF opinion. No
one expects anything more than fair trade,
but some do not look for that, even. 1t is
thought the new crop Of breadstuils has
suffered seriously from the wet weather. But
if the new crop is fair and there should be
an export demand for breadstuhs, the crop
West, and, consequently, trade in New
York. as the West is very bare of goods.
Almost the only prospect, however, of an
export demand for breadstutl5 is in the pos.
sibilty Of war on the Continent. France
is evidently preparing hostile armament
against somebody or something. Capital
lists don't build ships Of the line aud iortif.
cations, in these days, merely because they
have no othe. use for their money. Where
ever the blow may strike, il will evidently
create an increased foreign demand for
brcadstuffs.
In the way OF amusenent' everything a.
most is Of an outdoor sort. Picnics are in
season also what are called strawberry fes
rivals, another atrocious invention OF the
adversary. by which you are enirapPei into
sitting church lecture rooms TO gorge depre'
ciated straw berries at one hundred per cent
advance on the market rates besides being
obliged to pay for the privilege Of coming IN
at door which it is quite impossible to gel
out Of until your money is all gone, when the
fair sharpers, having bagged your shilling'
for the poor box. pass by and leave you OF
the other side. Countrymen, beware |! The
gradual approach Of the Fourth Of July Is
kept in mind by continual anticipating rus
tie Of small arms and Chinese crackers, in
which impatient patriotism Is already IN
vesting. Good for the pyrotechnic men
their turn only comes once 10 year. -
