A Prarlh of Kln In rhllntlrlnlila Diirln the Olden Tlmi-Kemlnliirences-cenr In the Vity t'hnrrhen. Observation and experience have long demon strated that, In this latitude at least, the two closing summer months and the opening one of fall have but little of that humidity which morn or loss marks all other portions of tho year; a hut, dry atmosphere prevailing which gradually makes Itself felt, and often severely. In the water-supply. The present fx-arclty of this all-Important f 1 1 1 1 I is not the llrst nor the sharpest Instance In which Nature has Impera tively seconded the oft-repeated recommendations of the Water Department, and by effectually re ducing the supply endeavored to bring our "City fathers" to a realizing sense or tho privation they were likely to entail upon their municipal family by not giving' this matter that attention which its vast importance demands. ISome thirty-three or four years ago an unusually well-celebrated "Fourth of .luly" was closed souh alter twilight by a sharp thunder-storm, accompa nied by copious showers, which speedily sent the illstnaved and well-drenched revellers to their re spective homes. Many days of clear, bright weather succeeded; but gradually men became, conscious that this continued sunshine was not altogether a a blessing. Umbrellas were In constant requisition not for their legitimate use, but. for the purpose of protecting over-heated Immunity from the glaring rye of the grim monarch over head, who seemed bent upon vitrifying all terrestrial things. Vegeta tion was the llrst to Buffer. The pleasant fields and panlensof our various suburbs became pan-lied and dry, and the once glowing herbage looked as ir a tire had devastated and turned It Into stubble; while our long avenues of shade trees were lined with the withered leaves which lack of moisture hail wilted before their time, our highways ami byways circu lated no gentle zephyr or balmy breeze, but rather the ho: blast of the sirocco, beneath which mm uinl beast panted and suffered, vainly hoping for some relief Irom the torrid heat which oppressed th-iii. The head-waters of both livers sent loith but a minimum of their usual supply, mid rocks ;i'id shoal places became visible along tleur bed, which before bad been known otiiy lo the lislicna ill or sailor. For weeks I he dam lit Fairiuoiiut . cuiihl be passed over drv-shod, ami on the Sabbaths -, lirong- or per sons from all parts of tho city availed ilieinsclvcs of this novel bridge. This drought was great in many parts of the countrv. every mail bringing accounts of the suffer ing it was causing in distant places. Hut our present purpose is as to its effects here at home, and these were similar to those attending the present emer gency, although for munutucturiiig, and the thou sand' and one other uses to which the element is applied, the proportion needed was inllnitely less then than now. The aqueous supply from Falr Hiount necessarily became very scant, when It reached the lower municipalities of Southwark and Moyaiiietising; and to add to the discomforts of the residents of those districts, the cool, delicious pump-WHter which they had been accustomed to gave out, and they were reduced to the tepid waters of the Delaware, Which enterprising carters drove a thriving business in disposing of Irom live to twenty five cent a bcr bucket, according to the purchaser's distance from the source of supply. The pluvlan diviulty did not appear to have for potten, out rather wished to tantalize his servants. On more than one occasion the clouds gathered in gloomy but welcome grandeur overhead, sometimes discharging a lew precious drops, which were eagerly absorbed by the gasping bricks below: but. more Ire quently the fervid solar rays would engender a hur ricane, and sweep away Horn our hopes and our vision the coveted treasure of moisture which had Deemed so nigh at, hand. "Men's hearts began to fail them" in the presence of the growing calamity. The most iiidillerenl felt, that at length a time had come when an appeal must be made where human effort ceases the religious world had already moved in the matter and many an unfamiliar lace was seen In our various places of worship, and many a fervent, heartfelt aspiration fell from lips but little: accustomed to tho humanizing accents of prayer. We think it was on the llrst Sab bath in October, when a more than usual pallor hail gathered over the hearts and luces of men, that large groups of citizens sought such temples of re ligion as their habits and preferences indicated ; few, Have the sick or feeble, remaining away, according to the recommendation of the public authorities. Old Saint Peters (l!ov. w. II. Delancey) had a large accession to the crowd of worshippers, and the noble ritual in use there especially the brief but comprehensive prayer for rain was rarely uttered by more devout suppliants. The short interval (lapsing between morning service and the instructions of the pulpit j?ave the people an opportunity of noticing the grow ing darkness within and without the sacred edillce, the lamps having to be lit in several places. An un wonted breeze, cool and moist, rustled amougtje venerable funereal elms which ornament the ancient cemeterv, in the midst of which the churiffi miicis, Then, patter, patter, patt-i'! 'nine JotTl! the welcome rain! Itectyr and people looked at ea-.h other, and the mutual wish was understood. No more sermon. "The Lord God Omnipotent reignelli' Let us pray;" and, all kneeling, they juiu'd in solemn thanksgiving to Him who had "caused the former anil the latter rain to descend upon the earth.'' And so endeth the story of the Great Drought. Mayor Fox will send to Councils this afternoon a long message embodying his views on the import ance of providing some means for the immediate relief of the citizens from the impending water famine. Tub Indian commission an Iwi-oiitant Mkkt ino. The following despatch from the Hon. William E. Dodge, of the Indian Commission, has been re ceived In this city: Cam c Sn-ri-v, Inhian Tkkiutohy, Aug. 21, ls9. George 11.

The cause of the higher prices is said to l.e partly in consequence of the probable pur chase of Cuba by the United States Govcrmcnt, which will require coin for payment, and partly in consequence of rumors of heavy gold invest ments by the Rothschilds' iv:cnt here.

One of the animals killed developed an healthy external ap pearance of lungs, but on cutting, the bronchial tubes were found to be illled with minute thread like worms, so numerous as to obstruct these tubes throughout their extent, and thus reuder respiration impossible.

The Tvlnjraph to-day has an editorial on the forthcoming international boat race. wherein it says. "The point in favor of the Americans is, that they arc in such a stfitc of high training of the best kind, and have not submitted to a sharp regime for a few months with a view to this particular event, but have been in perfect training for the Iat three years. What with such hardnes-i of muscle, soundness of heart and hone-dy of lung must be the result. 'It is almost impossible to overrate the effect such a state of facts has upon the event of the ace. Four young athlete, kept for three years under conditions to develop every available power, is something more excellent than the result of a few months training. hat may not be expected from a crew called upon for a itar- tcr of an hour's strain when they have been at work tor years. "Taking our Information as correct, we should consider the superior hardness of the Ameri cans more than a set-off against the style of the English, and we conclude that the contest will be mainly a battle of coxwains. Whatever may be the event, we trust that kindly feelings and good fellowship between the two nations may be tluircsult." France iivra Her Opininii on the Cuban Ques tion. Pakis, Aug. 2o. ha Frawr savs, however painful it may be for Spain to adopt the sug gested solution of the Cubanjditlieulty, there is no other plan possible. It is the only way for Spain to save some fragments of the wreck. The value and duration of Cuban indepen dence, under the protection of the United States, is another (ticstion. The desire to absorb which characterizes Americans, qualities them very badly to perform the part of a platonic protec torate. It is very probable that behind the compromise they arc trying to bring about lies a second edition of the history of Texas. London, Aug. 2o. The Bishop of Winchester has resigned. Pakis, Aug. 2:5.

The New Itoulsi mid Ihc I'luiiiKC In llie Crrwx. lii'U'it l.iff of August 8 says: The new boat is a splendid piece of workmanship, and as Hue a model as was ever turned out of Messrs. Salter's vard. She was built to order, to carry a crew averaging list. S'4lbs. with a coxswain weighing 7st. 4lbs., and her dimensions are as follows: Length, 44 feet 2 inches: greatest width 20 Inches, the latter measurement being taken from outside the skin. In order, however, to insure a suitable craft the Harvard crew have a new boat in course of con struction by an American builder In Sinimonds' yard, which they intend to try before making a definite selection. For some reason or other her dimensions are kept n secret, but we understand she Is modeled on the i.nglish plan, and will be ready in the course of a day or two. Tho J'ost of August 10 says: Can the Harvard crew stay the distance ? that is the question. They certainly have vastly improved since Mr. Loring went to stroke and Air. Simmons left that seat for 8; but with Messrs. liass and Rice out of tho boat substituted bv Messrs. Lyman and Faye, they went splendidly yesterday, the two latter rowing bow and 2 with oars by John son of Boston, the American maker, and Sim mons and Loring using F.ngliMi oars. They used tho London four-oar, and rowed with line time and precision of swing at 40 strokes per minute over a mile, against, wind and tide, and moving the boat at a great pace, so that odds of 2 to 1 on Oxford were taken on tho tow-path. Tho ques tion asked above, however, must be repeated. It is evident that the American gentlemen do not intend to let tho public know what they can do until the day of the race; thus their powers of endurance and stamina will remain a mystery till then. The London Daily Xt vs of Aug. 9 says: The traffic of the Thames is to be stopped as between Putney bridge aud Mortlako from two hours be fore until after tho race. No steamers or other craft will be allowed to ply within the prohibited hours within those points, nor will steamers or private boats bo allowed to accompany the race. In short, if the regulations which have been de scribed to us are carried out, anything like 1m rtdiajviit or loul lny will be impossible, PROPOSALS.
