RAIN ON A BROILING CITY.
THREE GENUINE MIDSUMMER DAYS.
HOW THE MERCURY TAKES EXERCISE JUST NOW
OVERCOME BY THE HEAT.


OVERCOME BY THE HEAT.
If some means of rapid transportation were
known and in active operation which would make
Montreal for all practical purposes suburb of
New-lOrk, the last few days would have seen
such an exodus to the Canadian town as would
have gladdened the hearts and filled the purses
Of the owners of such roads For rs if to get
even with New-lorlz for casting DOODLE Alder
men and absconding bank cashiers on her shores,
Montreal has been enjoying weather for the last
few days that would have permitted her 10 have
the ice carnival over again if she wanted to, and
has no doubt planted powerful telescope on some
Of her high buildings to gaze upon New
York and see the workings OF her
warm revenge. She has even been able TO
wear a sealsln sack and a fur hat TO guard
against cold which might be communicated from
the breczes waited from the ocean, where they
had been cooled by the immense ce-feds of the
coast. Some of the booders" even vcntured
TO take peep and, seeing their returned brethren
in flannel shirts and hcrocally welding palm-leaf
LnS smiled grimly and offered TO bet good
slice of their gotten gains that their perspiring
friends wished they were back for a few days.
No one would tIRe the bets.
The hot people OF this city would have been
willing to give round sum for ice-foe of
Long Island on Thursday if they had had the
chance but none was presented. 80 they had 10
