AS tiliS pump ora WOrIQ goes bowling
along through trackless seas of time,
something new happens occasionally.
This erudite generality, warranted to
TIT easily in many places, is here set
forth after reflections anent the gentle
rain from heaven that fell last Tuesday
night, at which time j. Pluvius. who
has lately been quieScent in the hands
of his friends, set out to paint the town
dull, muddy hue. Now, it Is not con-
tended that rains are new, or that said
j. P. has reformed. The novel feature
was that the Oldest inhabitant confessed
himself knocked out, remarking, as he
tapped the ashes from his clay into the
sawdust ouspdor. that lit was the all
firedest victim that even l see."
klelSt'S orchestra and thirty-siX
or forty people came out
from town on the 1880 train
for the regular Tuesday evening hop at
Ramaiey's, but when Lake Shore was
reached the conditions were SO violent
that all concluded to walt in the station
and take the o:3S back again. But the
S:3S never came. Neither did the II :27.
at midnight Mr.. Ramaley came over to
the weary, wet watchers in the little
depot and served hot coffee out of the
kindness of his heart and large tin
boiler, At quarter to half sutfo-
Gated, drOpSical engine came along
hauling coach with tOboggans under
the wheels. After a perilOus voyage of
three or four hours the wayfarers dis
embarked at East Seventh street sta
ton. Some walked thence. while
others waited till the cable cars began
to run, when they journeyed on sadly,
humming, ''Oh, what difference in
the morning" The experiences of
that night will go down in tradition to
their children's children, even unto the
third and fourth generations.
Mr.. Elmer and party, in the Nushka;
MI. and Mrs. Jackson and DR.. McLaren.
in the Aurelia, and Mr.. Hastings and
party, in the Undine, were at Wildwood
When the storm was at its highest.
The boats nearly filled with water, but
all sailed safely home, for, while the
thunder, lightning and rain were ter
rifle, there was not enough wind to be
dangerous. The aggregate rainfall of
Tuesday and Wednesday nights was
about six inches, and the lake rose even
more than that owing to the influx.
As consequence half the piers at the
lake are overlooked, or uncomfortably
near the waters surface.
Considerable CONSERVATION has been
caused by rumor that the Burnt
Cork Soiree," recently given at Rama
Iey'S pavilion. is soon to be repeated.
The mIsanthrOpe who started this story
should remember the warm weather,
the weakness of long-suffering humanity
and that the worm will turn.
