MAD DOGS.

Though yesterday was ciouded and cool, the
vagrant ours OF the street did not abstain from the
dangerous practice OF going mad and threatening
all whom they met with that s0rest Of scourges,
hydrophobia. No doubt the thoughtless mischief
of the boys, vino worried the brutes WITH such In
genious inventions as crackers and torpedoes,
contributed to madden the dogs with fright,
and chase them into commissions from excessive
eXertion. Captain Marriott and the pound had
holiday. But that brought small alienation OF
misery to the hungry hound or miserable mastin
OF the streets, pursued by the vicious and relent-
less pyrOtechnics OF Young America. Accordingly,
though the police force were otherwise more than
sufficiently occupied by the many extra duties
growing out OF the independence celebration,
their sovereign specific Tor rabies was called into
reausitiOn with satisfactory effect IN at least half
a dozen cases, as will more fully be shown by tho
official reports below

THE DAY ON LONG ISLAND.

The first train bound eastward on the South Side
cars loaded to their fullest capacity with pleasure
seekers intent on spending the Fourth at Rock
away, Fire Island or some other OF the numerous
watering places on the south side Of the island.
The Rockaway branch or the Long Island Railroad
was also extensively patronzed, and the main ana
lateral branches of this road took great numbers
to various points on the north shore and the east
end. Stewards Central Road, which runs direct
from Hunters Point TO Babylon and Fire Island
conveyed multitude to those pOints-John Lux's
Island being literally Overfowing with guests. AT
Rockaway beach probably so great crowd was
never before known, as the means OF access
to 1t have never before been SO MINER
the Seaside House and the other well known
hotels on the ueach had more business than they

THE DAY ON STATEN ISLAND.

The Fourth was celebrated on Staten Island IN
rather quiet manner. There was general peal
of bells at sunrise in the village OF Edgewater
which was by many mistaken for a fire alarm, ana
several OF the engines were out in consequences
National airs were played upon the chimes or bells
OF st. Johns Episcopal church at Clifton. The
StapetOn Cornet Band gave a morning concert In
the Park. The American cOlors were displayed AZ
the Seamens Retreat, Stapleton; at the Sailors
Snug Harbor New Brighton; at Police 1leadquar-
ters ana ali the pubic institutions. Most OF the
lager bier saloons about the village did big bust.
ness 1t was lively day with The Staten Island
Railway ferry, upon which Jour boats were run
during the day, making hali-hourly trips. Bars
were kept each OF the boats by the Superln.
tendent, from which lager beer was sold in large
quantities Thousands OF pleasure seekers crossed
the ferry during the day. The North Shore Ferry
Company also ran extra boats. The old spirit OF
rivalry was exhibited between the two companies,
whicl occupy adjoining slips at whitehall, each
soliciting passengers as they came down to the
boats which more frequently kept over the regu-
lar time. PROBABLY from $4,000 to 10000 people
visited the island yesterday

FIREWORKS IN THE HEAVENS.
From the Tribune.]

Let US see, then, how the fireworks OF heaven
compare with those of earth. In other columns
there will be found an exte nded description OF the
comet, with diagram of its movements, the ex.
tension of its tail anu its place among the constel-
lations. From unknown space somewhere In the
north and at sharp angle to the earth's orbit, It
has come rushing down to give one giddy whirl
around the sun and then dash back again into
the realm of chaos and Old Night This evening,
though we see 1t SO clearly, 1t Is $4,000, 900
miles away or such distances we can form
no conception. A cannon ball starting
with an initial velocity OF 1900 feet per
second, and never Stacking Its speed, would not
traverse this space in SIX years. on this very
day the particles OIL matter nowipg from the comet
which are likely to surround the earth within
fortnight have just started on their backward
flight IRON the sun. Anything on this earth tray
cling at a similar speed would complete
the distance from New York TO Chicago IN
seven minutes and go around the world
three times IN twenty-four hours. Whe
every fresh observation adds to the probability
that this will be one Of the most magniicent
comets the world has ever seem and enlarges the
possibility that the earth may pass through soIno
portion or the matter emanating from II, the facts
are also accommodating to prove that Its effect upon
the earth Will be almost II not utterly impeicep-
tibe. It Is now known that after Bicla's comet
split itself In twain the earth, IN November year
before last, passed through one OF the discovered

Fourth" Judging from the patriotic fervor ex-
hibted In the exuberant eagerness OF every citi-
zen to congratulate his neighDor and the supreme
delight of the younger portion of the community
while occasioning the time -honored din ana clat-
ter OF multiarous pyrotechnics, 1t Is safe to con-
Guide that the extinction OF time itself must
occur ere the birthday OF this great nation
ceases to be dear to the hearts OF its children.
The numerous steamboats, from New YORK and
