 AND OTHER THINGS
Anent the Present Season of Naviga. tion-Prospects for Drouth Once Again Happily Removed - Martin O'Hare and Submarine.

Drouth prospects were once more lulled to peaceful siumber when the weather bureau yesterday turned on the hose for another spasm. The earth and the inhabitants of the local chunk thereof turn joyful faces up- ward as the new seance of refreshing proceeds. Prior to the beginning of this new chapter of dampness there had been one day in which the show ing was sadly indicative of a period of dryness.
 Anent these remarks, the following cheerful stwitter from the Review s typewriter nayigationist is as appro- priate to the occasion as an epitaph to a tombstone:
 Listen to the music of the rainl
 Don't you hear it batter, batter, pat

 If we walked, or if we rode,
 Or found boats the only mode? Oh. listen to the music of the rainl It is dripping, dripping. dripping, See it ripping, ripping, ripping,
 Down the street. Oh, ain't it sweet
 (Cutting out the mud you find OF
 your feet)?
 And the young grass drinking, drink ing, drinking,
 As the rain goes sinking. sinking sinking.
 And the people thinking, think ing. -i -! III! When the machine got to what thI | people thought, it broke. But in con nection with the beautiful lines tha did transpire, it may be said that i there are none others who are happy at the renewal of the storm festivitie! the steamboat and ferrymen are. Seg eral bars had appeared in the chan nels throughout the city, and naviga ton was getting in a bad way for thu rivermen when yesterdays rainfall threw out the life line.
 Last night water was running deel in all the channels. The submarin boat, driven into the subway with tn failing stream. was spotted-coming ou about o'clock by Mayor Taylor. fleeting glance is thought to hay shown Martin O'Hare in the lookou tower as the boat drove up Brewery It is now supposed that he has tn boat in commission for the purpose c locating some new claims and doin a bit of quiet assessment work. Thi theory was disputed last night, how ever, by a man who claimed to knov that the boat was being used by NY lO'Hare in advance preparations fo piloting a warship into the fire hous at the special meeting of the Counci to be held next Monday night to hea the report of the mayor regarding tn issuance of deeds under the townsit' patent.
 Indications are that the streets ant
