The streets are thick with heat and dust. The city has be- gun to go away—to Coney, toLong Branch, to Newport, to Saratoga, to Europe. The little German band plays to empty houses, and spends its own money at the lager-beer establishment around the corner to recuperate, There are frequent visits to the Battery for fresh air. The countriness of the parks is twice inviting. Along the wharves there is an ocea- sional breeze that comes like astranger and goes without recognition. The summer beer is drank in loneliness because the other chap is off for the never-ending some- where with fishing-tackle and such. The streets are quiet along the twilight, so many faces have passed out from them—faces that you nevercare to see except when you can't see them and there are no other faces to look at. It is so early in the season that the summer girl has not come. The sum- mer man has not accus- tomed himself to the situation, and wanders listlessly, bethinking himself mostly of the early seasoners who have gone, Away off, north, south, east and west, there are the blare of music, the sombre waiter, the incipient flirtation, the ery of the exhibitor of curiosities, the merry-go-round, the several inaugurative dances, the beer that is mostly foam, the congestive chill, and the frequent assumption of winter garinent; but, whatever discomfort or disappointment they bring, the man who lingers takes no consolation to his soul. It is the pause before the tempest, the talk before the dinner, the introductory notes to the grand overture, the apprehension that precedes all con- summation. admire my friend Misa Rose friend paints those charms we are told to admire.” Misa F than—you do. Robert Lincoln is said to be painfully sensitvie tothe suspicion—for which his friends are alone responsible—that he w to build up a reputation on the strength of his relationship to his father. Itisa most excellent sign, and it may some day make Robert a very promi- nent man despite his modesty Whoever wants to win in th country must win for himself; and it it is really better to look upon fortunate relationship as a detriment rather than a help to prominence. THE C0) EST DEEPENS. Mr. William O'Brien tried to get from the steamer Umbria into a tug-boat, and immediately the English and the Irish parties on the larger vessel struck up ‘* God save the queen” and * God save Ireland; whereupon William became so agitated that he broke the rope ladder and had all he could do to save his neck.

Otp Mr. Pro Bono Pus- L100, if we may believe the Courier of that place, has settled down in Buffalo. This is not necessarily to say he is dead; but if he still exists let us hope that he passes his quiet days with Messrs. Vox Populi, Lex Talionis, and the Buffalo Democrats who still believe in Cleveland. PUT OUT THE FIRES, Jefferson Davis says that if the Union is ever broken the north will have to do the breaking, and at the same time he says the south fought for a holy cause and the southern camp-fires must be kept burning bright- ly. Mr. Davis is real kind and generous, but what if the fires were put out and the embers scattered or buried? The heated term is at hand, and these superflu- ous conflagrations can serve no purpose but toin- crease the torridness of an oppressive atmosphere. One of the greavest_ ann of the hereafter is th heat and the unsubduable nature of camp-fires of that kind, and what good do they do? SOME FUTURE POLITICS. Leading men of the Do: minion government are contemplating a commercial union with the United States. We are inclined to think, with the Sun, that it is too late; that reciprocity is at an end so far as this side of the border is concerned; that the annoyances visited upon this country by Canada have been too numerous and exasperating to be forgiven, and that the only method of permanent and profitable peace lies in the annex- ation of Canada—peacefully if possible, forcibly if necessary. That accomplished, and an understanding being established between this government and those of the South American states, as proposed by Mr. Blaine, and this continent will be as safe against foreign annoy- ance and invasion as if it were the only one in the world. WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP WORTH? A man claiming to be an American citizen writes from Sonora that he has been thrown into’ prison by a Mexican prefect for whom he refused to vote because hie vote was not good on that side of the line. As the prisoner fs not a Texan the demand for vengeance ‘od Mexican blood will not be very pronounced.—Utica Observer. All the same, my son, the demand should be pronounced. If that man’s story is true and citizen- ship here is worth anything there should be satisfaction for the in- sult, not to say for the past, and indemnity for the future. One man doesn't count for much as to his individual self, but the prin- ciple he represents may be worth anarmy. There are known to have been outrages on Uncle Sam's citizens in Mexico quite as_pro- nounced as this one, and it is not too much to say that they ought to be stopped. Or, if citizenship is better in Mexico and Canada than it is here, let us submit to the humiliation as gracefully as possible. After all, it will merély bea straw in addition toa very large accumulation of it. 40-- Pleasant The promise of anew dress will cause the mercury to rise Instantly. comicbooks.com
