PANAMA CITY.
We have had in Panama q specimen of what we may
sxpect during the ensuing month for the heavy rains Of
the season have commenced with what may be termed
moderately heavy tropical storm. The sky overhead was
thick and of dirty pale yellow, occasionally ilumined
with lightning flashes; the surcbarged clouds had burst
their castings and poured out this city perfect deuge
that lasted for several hours Such falls of rain
trely unknown in the North and cannot be imagined
cept those who have witnessed them But however in
convenient these storms may be to foreigners they are
welcomed as blessing by the natives for during the
prevalence of the rain the time when the heavy drops
falling at the quickest rate they dves themselves OF
all their apparel, except barely enough to comply with
their back yards open pazas water spout from the
roof of house grand luxury, the enthusiastic ma
tive obtains therefrom cheap and inexpensive doache
bath Should the yard be nclOsed from observation or
intrusion the native daughters OF Eve Will emulate the
example Of their maternal ancestor and take Their open
air shower bath in Edenc costume emitting the fig leaf
which not TO be readily obtained The harder II rams
the better they like It, and they looking forward with
antieipatory pleasure for the next heavy storm.
