Don't know, except that the Cleric of the Wea
ther, during the heated spell of summer, must
have taken a trip lo the North Pole, and has
either been frozen fast to that mystic post, or
else hat forgotton that hit time is up, and con
Bcquently neglects to come back. It Is supposed
that Just bffore hn )aunt he cave out a contract
for co much heat, and that the contractors, likQ
Ml others ol the eume species, are holdlnfc on as
Jonir. as they ran. When the aforesaid Clerk
reaches hii ofiice again he will have a sweet
account to settle 'or so much surplus warmth,
tie can't gruniblo, thoueh, that the contractors
have not come up to the terms of their agree
ments. They have toed the chalk squarely, and
have furnit-hed the hoitet kind of hot weather.
Why, the streets are like furnaces.
The country pavs more for alcoholic drinks

Brown, who as he grows older grows a little
more of the moralist, tars that the best thing a

is "to put it down." He dou't mean, however,

Brown raieed a row the other day in tryirnr

Thk Child Mcrpkr. Several arrests were
made during jesterciay aud lust eveniug of
parties who answered the description of the
fiend who committed tuts diabolical murder of
the child Mary Mnbrmann, in the Nineteenth
Ward. It was asserted this morning that the
right individual had been captured last night.
Determined to ascertain what there wai in the
rumor, one of our reporters repaired to the
neighborhood this morning. On vitdtlng the
Kincteenth Ward Station House, the Lieu
tenant informed him that although he had
several persons locked up on suspicion, there was
no possible or even probable proof that any
ot them was the right num. Twelve men are
still detailed from his district, with instructions
to use every means to discover the villain, aud
to lollowup every clue. In addition to these
officers, a number of the detective lorce ate
also upon the ground. A watcb.lulsnrvcillaE.ee
is kept npon every suspicious character,
and many ears are constantly alert
to catch the slightest whisper that
might lead to the murderer's detection. Tne
whole neighborhood for squares around is still
excited. Every man, woniau, and child cm tell
yon all the cirevrxuaances of the heinous affair
every man, wuniuu, uu uunu appears anxious
to aid the oflicers in their work. The spot
where the body of the po r mutilated victim
was found is pointed out with trembling flnsers;
the little ones avoid it. aud the older regard it
with feelings of the hottest indignation.
There is as yet no relaxation in t he endeavor
to trace the horrid crime to its perpetrator, and
it is to be hoped that before another day rolls
by he will be found.

asking for an additional supply ol cavalry, to be
used against Indians on the plains. The 6th Re

Conflict Between Negroes nnd Kn-t(Inx.
Hpetial Despatch The Evening Telegraph.
Naehtille, Tenn., Sept. 12. A bloody tragedy
occurred near Millville, Liucoln county, on
Thursday night, by which a KuKlux was killed.
From the accounts which nave reached
here it appears that four or live negroes, who
kept a grocery, had boasted that the first Ku
Klux who came near their establishment should
be killed. Apparently anticipating an attack,
they barricaded the premises, port-holed tbe
upper story, and secured quite a supply of am
munition. As the report has it, a body of
twelve Ku-Klux, some of them armei, visited
the negroes for the purpose of ascertaining what
all the ostentation meant. One of them, named
High, was killed; the others are reported to
have escaped. There was great excitement at
last accounts.

The September Scithlon of Congress
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
WisniNoTOH, Sept. 12. It seems evident at
this time that a quorum of Congress will assem
ble on the 21st instant. The subject is being
earnestly discussed, and it Is tbought and Reno
rally believed now that Congress will reassemble
at that time, and take a recess to some day In
November just alter tho Presidential election.
This it tbe view taken by Senator Morgan, Gov
einor Bout v. ell, Mr. Schenck and others. They
hold that nothing has occurred so far to war
rant congressional legislation, bnt that at the
meeting on the 21st, and berore the anticipated
recsss, ench measures will be adepted as to pro
vide for the reassembling of Congress at any
coment. This Is a precaution against any overt
acts of rashness that the Prebident may contem
plate or perform.
