VennOr's Guess for August.

Vennor makes the following predic-
ton for August !: 81 cannot but think
that August will be another month of
storm and unusual rainfall, with one or
two remarkable curves Of temperature.
I expect snowfall will be recorded in
extreme western and northwestern Sec
lions, and cold rains in more southerly
stations shortly after the middle of the
month. October will be very similar,
but, of course, colder"

4 N0tiOnal uity.

America is the country in which ma
tional iniquities are the theme Of SO
much discussion, that 1t is surprising to
hear so little said of the worst of them
all. We mean the devotion to money
making for the sake Of the money. 1t
is quite true that we have no monopoly
of this evil. Indeed, our example as II
nation has been followed, and in no
other department of activity with SO
much readiness as in this. It is but
few months since our sister Republ c,
France. was under the rule of a factisn
whose center of political motive was on
the Bourse; and to-day we see England
putting down, by main force, nation
alist movement in Egypt, in fear that it
may In some way interfere with her
