THE GLORIOUS FouRrH. .

Jupiter Pluvius did his meanest on that day, commencing his work after the pleasure seekers were we'll away from home and then coming down upon them with such force, that umbrellas, and mackintoshes were of the least pos sible use, and the sswhite ducks'' that went out so spick and span in the morn. ing came home at night with plumag ( bedraggled and inky. The patriotism which could rally round the flag in such weather, surely equals that of '76. But while bad for fun and festivals it was grand weather for corn and cabbages.

TAKE WARNING!

The residents along Madison avenue have been complaining for 8 long, long time, on account of the swiftness with which the many engineers pull their trains through this thoroughfare and if it is not stopped there will occur some day terrible accident.
 The closeness to one of these ac- cidents last Tuesday which one of the engineers experienced should act as a warning to all. Another thing and of very great importance is the ringing of the bell the entire length of the avenue, if this is done a great many accidents will be avoided, lives of our citizens per haps saved and the railroad com pany spared many damage suits. If the engineers pay heed to our warning they will do their duty by the company and justice to the travellers of Madison avenue.

T'he Heavens ERa August.

The chief celestial event for August is the attainment by Venus of her greatest brilliance on the night of the 18th, or more strictly speaking, the morning of the l4th; yet this can hardly be called an event, either, since it is part of continuous phenomenon, Venus having gained gradually in light ever since she became an evening star, early in the year. Andalthough from the l4th she will begin to lose light, yet the loss will not become conspicuous until near the end of the month Now is the time for all pos sessors of good telescopes and good eyes to study Venus; for the possibility exists of making an important dis covery concerning that planet.
 At the beginning of the month Venus was in the southern portion of Leo, and before the end she will have passed inth Virgo. Everybody, of course, knows where to look for her. in the west after sundown; and nobody will have to look twice to find her, but anybody who can see her once and not look again is filter to be de- spised than that imaginary creature of Shakespeare, "who hath no music in himself"
 The moon will be seen near Venus on the evening of the 22d, near Saturn on the evening of the 24th and near Uranus on the evening of the 25th.
