The HEATED Enthusiastically and Sunday
were unusually trying times to humanity and
the domestic animals; and probably we shall
not experience any more enervating influences
during the summer. The very rapid change
from the cold, heavy air of May to the extreme
heat that belongs to midsummer found human
nature unprepared for the marked transition.
On Saturday the heat was oppressive, the
thermometer in the business parts of the city
marking 800 and upwards, with very little
breeze stirring. Saturday night the tempera-
ture declined to about 800 and sleep was wooed
with difficulty. Sunday morning brought back
the burning heat with all its fierceness, to be
relieved for an hour or SO about noon bv
smart shower, accompanied by heavy thunder
and sharp lightning. The temperature rose
after the shower had passed, and at the Preble
House at o'clock the glass stood at $50. At
half past eight thermometer exposed to the
breeze showed temperature Of 75o, but the
mercury gradually fell to more comfortable
point, and at half past nine there was mild
sea-breeze and promenadiny was comfortable.

WHAT AN OUTSIDER THINKS OF II.

| TO the Editor ofute Press:
can hardly credit your insinuatiop that the
New England Regulator is printed at The office
OF the Portland Advertiser. How an estab-
lishment protesting to be reputable can issue a
sheet which is habitually obscene, is notorious
ly Published in the interest and at the expense
of liquor dealers, and frequently contains
rough drawings caricaturiDg the Advertiser
friends and holding them up to ridicule, passes
my comprehension. 1 doubt ii the organs Vi
the Paris Commune were worse III their pur-
poses and general character than this neg
for, which you say is issued at the Advertiser
Office.
And speaking of the Commune reminds me
that your readers will not misapprehend your
positiop ON that subject have carefully read
every word touching the matter that has APP
reared in the Press, and fl nd that while you
have done the insurgents the justice to point
out the fact that they did not undertake to
ieaizs their mad social theories, did not inaug-
urate reign of terror till their opponents took
the Initiative, aud that their main political
purpose was good One namely, the preserva-
tlon OF the Republic you have always ex-
pressed tue strongest disapprobation of their
method of trying to accomplish their purpos-
es, and especially of the bloody revenge they
took 10 the last days of the struggle. notice
that the Advertiser of Saturday admits to its
columns correspondent who has the hardi-
hood to charge the Press with justfying the
atrocious creed which it publishes as that of
the Commune A man who can allow himself
to be guilty of such a criminal falsehood as
that would instantly pick pocket if good
opportunity offered ANTI-CoMMUNIsT.

Exchange street, over Merchants National

that the bulk of pensioners enrolled at any
given agency, receive their pay in from ten to
fifteen days after the payment commences. The
balance are paid during the quarter whenever
their vouchers are received at the several agen-
cies. POst-masters should be careful to
promptly deliver letters forwarded from PEN

no case to allow them to be be overlooked IN
