a long shower of rain which she drank up
with more than her usual avidity, The
distribution of the same blessing to the
country around, has so cooled the air that
thick coats were in very good demand yes

looks gladder than ever before.
Our temperance people have been very
active this summer, holding open air meet
ings nightly on the corners of streets and
the broad steps of some of the public build
ings Their efforts have been crowned
with more than usual success in retaining
fallen humanity generally, and especially
that class of disheartened, disappointed of
flee seekers and discharged clerks whose
wretchcd conditions without money or en-
ployment in large city, are most deplor-
able, to say the least Not a few are the
instances where the temperance folks have
either assisted in getting employment or
furnished the necessary means to take them
back to their old homes where it is hoped
their chances for commencing life anew
are more favorable than under the contain
mating influences at our federal capital.
Many of the members Of different tenn
perance societies of the District met last
night at Union League Hall and organized
