Weather.

There is 10 doubling it,, the weather
has been unusually warm for the lasl
two weeks. The thermometer has
| marked So to SO degrees every day in
the iade, land we have had no showers
to cause fall i'm the mercury.
Everyone is complaining of the heat
as being greater than he has ever be-
fore known. This may be true, but
weather has been war;, Ter than any we
have had. In some d the provinces
of France the hea ;sss:a-' equal to that i
a glass furnace il A. D. i707, and msAt
conId be cooked by exposing it tr2the
% snn. Shops had to t,e closed ig7f718.
Theaters were closed tyrsa9eShonths. rs9
!here was no ra for six months. In
A. ID. 1878 the thermometer rose to 11S
degrees. People took refuge under the
ground. A. ID. 1893 vegetables We're
bnrnt up and fruits dried up on the
trees and meat began to dccompuse in
an hour. Yet many survived whilst
many others persisted.
We mention these facts to show our
promptness to complain when it might
be so much worse. Fortunately, we
nave rivers which unlike the river
Rhine. Loire. andlSeine A. D. 1904,
never run entirely dry. We have since
then learned to make ice at no great
cost, and taken altogether, we may con-
slider ourselves fortunate, whilst we
confess to very warm weather.
We are given to murmuTing very
generally, and often without any suffi-
cient reason, never rejecting that if
dealt with according to our ingratitude
anu moral obliquity, We could not live.

At the Race Track.


Although the forenoon of last Sun.
day was inclined to he somewhat show.
cry, the weather cleared up nicely by
| o'clock and the evening proved IL
highly suitable one for testing the speed
OF the fleet animals making the rounds
OF the race track at Sunnysde Park
on that day.
As usual. Mr.. Pepper was in charge
and although there was fair attend
ance and the customary privileges
allowed, perfect order prevailed and
everyone doubtless enjoyed the APP
parent quietude and seeming good will
which characterized the occasion.
The track was in fine condition and
having received light shower or
sprinkle in the morning was conse-
quentIy almost devoid Of dust for the
races which, barring minor accidents,
came oft in grand style under the just
rulings OF the judges who held glad
tidings for the winners of the respect
i've ha!fmlie heats whici, had been
agreed upon for the test of the coursers.
Two races were run with the follow
ing results:
ln the three-mInute class, ''Thos. c."
driven by Jeter Stokes, won first mon
e.y, half mile: time, lis; Snowflake" :"
driven by Rogers. second Rex, driven
by JAS. j. HeaE-y fell and wss taken
from the field.
The main race. also half mile, was
made and won 10y "Wm. r." owned
and driven by Jeter Stokes, in the re-
markable time of 1:09 Nancy Hanks"
driven 10y Ed Wallior, won second
money; "Almarc," driven by w. Pepper,
came IN second on last heat, which was
plimentary on account of his horse
having met with several embarrassing
accidents.
Altogether, the evenings pastime was
"A pleasant surprise, there being no dis
turbance of any kind to mar the en-
joyment OF anyone present and no
disordery conduct permitted on the
grounds. So much for good manage
ment on the part of Mr.. Pepper, the
lessee, and others having the matter
in charge.

Adjournment of Congress.

We now begin to form an idea as to
when Congress may conclude its Iabors
and adjourn. 1t has been in session
tor special purposes for three months
Speeches have been made without
number, and We venture the assertion
that not one single member of that To-
quacIous body has changed the opinion
lie entertained Of a tariff when he first
took his seat
The conntry has been feverishIy
anxious to have something done on
which reliance might be placed. We
here wanted such a protection as would
bring about A fair competition which
has always been considered the life of
trade, and we bow have reason to be-
lieve it has been awarded The adop-
ton of the suggestion of Senator Gull
Iom that tariff commissioners be ap-
pointed and empowered to make such
changes in the duties on the different
articles, rs practical experiment may
show to be advisable, would obviate the
necessity of months of expensive labor
in Csngress TO rectlfy defects. The
people would feel more secure iu- their
adventures in business, and investments is
of capital less timid
