VennOr'S Latest.

II Mr. Vennor is to be believed, we
are soon to be visited with rain, and plen-
ty of it. Although it is too late to benefit
our crops much still we should certainly
be glad to see it fall as it will have the
effect of laying the dust The following
are Vennor's latest representations;
'Indications recently observed and
gathered from the telegraphic dispatches
of the days paper seem to point to very
wet weather generally over the North
American Continent, and perhaps particu-
larry in the northwest terri cries on and
after the 18th of the present month. The
wet weathe" is Likely to continue through
the latter half of the present month and
into October. During this latter month
the cutlery is likely to be too much rain,
and sleet and snow will fall cary in the
northern sections, wi h sharp frost. In
November fro-ts will disappear again for a
time, and some very fine and balmy
weather is likely to form feature in the
month"

President Porter on GnraeIJ.

President Porter, after morning pray
ers at Yale on Tuesday morning, said to the as
sembed students; 81 may say, for whatever my
words are worth, that in all that has been written
or said in the praise OF Mr. Garfield wish to con
eur Aud think may, for speak from per-
sonal acquaintance and experience with the gen.
tlemAn having met him, not intimately, II is truo
but familiarly enough TO testify to all those high
qualities as President and man that have been
ascribed to him and have made him beloved and
honored by us ALL" In conclusion he urged the
students to take an example from Mr.. Garfeld's
career. The hymn that followed was most appro-
priate "Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King
of Saints" At the meeting directly after morn
Ing recitations President Porter was present and
again addressed the students, dwelling on the col.
lege life of the deceased and his high scholarly
attachments Secretary Evarts," he said, con
his return from abroad, made presents to friends,
and his gift to the President was several books
from the classical authors, thus showing the rep.
utation the President hOd in Washington

The GARFIELD Family Mourning Dresser.

The mourning dresses for Mrs. Garfield
her daughter Miss Molle Garfield and Mrs. and
Miss Rockwell were made up on Tuesday by Lord
4 Taylor of New York, in the remarkably short
time two hours and half The dresses are Of
the finest mourning material called Henrietta,
trimmed with the finest English Grape, but made
up, as bcnts the solemn occasion and Mrs Gar.
fields well-known dislike of ostentation, in the
simplest style and most excellent taste. The prin
clpal of Mrs Garllelds dresses may be said to con-
sist OF deep folds Of Grape, the underskirt being
trimmed with a fold eighteen inches deep, and the
overskirt, which is of q very plain and unpreten.
tious nature, with deep fold to match the under
skirt. The waist is cut in basque shape, and
trimmed with deep revers of Grape, and with coll
lars and cuffs to match. Mrs. Garfeld's hat is n
simple round bonnet made of folds of fine English
Grape having deep, rich veil of the same ma
terial falling In graceful folds over the head. The
inside of the hat is finished with simple widow 5
border. Miss Mollie Garfedsdress is plain, glrlsh
costume suited to her tender years II is composed
of skirt Of Henrietta, trimmed on the lower part
with box -plcaling three inches deep, which is
headed with a row of FIVE tueks. There is no over
SKIRT but a simple scarf drapery Of Grape, finished
with bow on the lett side The dress is COM
pleted by shlrred waist set into yoke confined
to the waist by q handsome belt and bow of Grape
Miss Molle's hat is q flare made of very rich
mourning silk, with fnoings trimmed to match
The hat Is finished with heavy Grape bands and
bow. Mrs. Rockwel's dress is made OF avery
handsome imperial serge, plainly but elegantly
trimmed. Miss Rockwoll's, like that of Mis-,
Mollic, is of Henrietta cloth, trimmed with row
Of knfe-pleatings round the underskirt, There Is
soft draped open overskirt, with deep mourning
fringe The hats OF Mrs and Miss Rockwell art
IN keeping with their dresses. The outside wrap.
pings of all the ladies nre of the same materials a.
their dresses and without ornament.

The Now President.

President Arthur's inaugural is strong,
direct, and compact. 1t is tender and
paternal in its allusion TO the suilerings
and death of President Garfield, aud its
earnest ayowal of sympathy with and APP
proval of all the noble aspirations which
found expression in his life, the measures
devised and suggested during his brief
administration to correct abuses and en-
force economy, to advance prosperity and
promote the general welfare, to insure do
mestic security and maintain friendly and
honorable relations with the nations of
the earth will satisfy all thinking peo-
pie Of the sincere intention of the new
President to profit, and to see that the Ma
ton shall profit, by the example and ex-
perience Of his predecessor.
There is to be no extra session Of Con-
gress. II will soon be decided whether
or not an extra session of the Senate will
be deemed advisable.

The household now called to the White
House by the death Of President Garfield has no
lady presiding over IT, President Arthur lost his
wife a year ago last January, and acute feeling
over her loss is among the sad reflections which
press upon the President at this time She was
the daughter Of Lieutenant Commander Herndon,
Of the United States navy, who went down on his
ship, the Central America. A gold medal in rec.
ognitlon o. his bravery was voted by Congress TO
his widow, and monument to his memory
was erected in the Naval Academy grounds
at Annapolis Mr.. Arthur married Miss
uerndon In the early part of his
career MS q lawyer in New York city. He
has two chldrcn-one youth of seventeen.
named after his father, but called Allan by the
family; the other girl Of eleven, named Nellie.
These, with the servants, constitute the household

President has one brother, Major William Arthur

Ofthese Mrs. Mary McElroy. of Albany, has spent

President Arhurs accession to his new rcsponsi-
bilites has been too recent for him to give any
consideration to family arrangements for his resi-
dcnce at Washington, but If the cares Of her own
family will permit Mrs. McElroy will most prob.
