A ROAST INSTEAD OF A BOIL.
NOT Much RELIEF ALTHOrGH HU-
Nudity WITHDREW MS FORCES.


It was another day OF warmth. wilt. and
WEAKNESS. 1t should not havo been. according
to the plausible Mr.. Dunn. for whilo the thor
mometer ranged about the same dizzy altitude
ns on the day previous General Humidity had
withdrawn his forces and scarce left a line OF
pckets to worry New Workers. This. Mr. Dunn
argued. should have made yesterday delight
full. But he forgot to arrange for breeze. and
the result was that instead Of boil 1t was n
roast We got Some encouragement was held
out In the early morning. for as the town be-
gan to get down to business 1t noticed
that the weather was less oppressive and that
there was a great deal moro individual back
bone and much less general limpness in evil
dence. II also congratulated Itself on the fact
that 1t had passed fairly good night and
thore was reason to hope for a more endura-
bio day. But 1t WAS oil delusion.
When citizen made q call on Mr.. Dunn In
this cheerful frame OF mind and started to say
something about having had n cooler night
Mr.. Dunn broke In solsmnly and i'm pre- sively:
last night was the warmest night this year.
and tho next to the warmest Of which we have
record in this CITY," This shows how useless
1t is for the average lower level mortal to eX-
lect to ever know anything about the weather.
or how hot he is. or ought to be. SO Mr.. Dunn
was listened to in crushed silence.
At o'clock yesterday morning. and still at
2o'cock. the temperature on top oi the Equi-
table building was SU'. At ) A. N. it was 79'.
ut 4 a. NJ, 1872. and by q it had dropped an
other degree. The minimum temperature
during the night was IT.. The warmest
night Mr.. Dunn knows OF in this city was
that Of July !. 1872. when the lowest tenn pera-
ture recorded dnring the night was sl'. The

present in the atmosphere; AS Mr.. Dunn has
