But, fortunately, it was of short duration, and dur- ing that time we were blessed with a refreshing ‘breeze which dissipated the sultriness that would otherwise have been more oppressive. Yesterday afternoon the heavens became over- «cast with dense black clouds, presaging eithera violent wind or rainstorm, and in the short &pace of twenty minutes the mercury tooka tumble from 91 to 70, and the north wind BLEW A GALE. ¥he whitecaps rolled, the fishing-boats made for the shore, the dust flew, the trees bent double, the lightning flashed, the feminines ‘whooped al a mode; but there were notableaux.

On account of the lack of Interest none were present at the appointed Lime, although the weather conld not have been more favorable. Some of their number, how- Zver, having prejudged the situation, kept the Martial band in reserve.

A short time previous to the accident a number of boys who were at the place were shooting a{ » mark with u small revolver. 1t Dot discharging as desired, one of their number, White boy named Hoey undertook to remedy the difiiculty Dy tightening some screws, but accl- dentally capsed its discharge. A little eirl who happened to be in range reccived the ballet below the Jeft breast, from which it took an up- ward tendency. Drs, on and_Evans were jm- mediutely sumoned, who succeeded in extracting the bullet, but pronounced the child in a danger- ous condition. Sheriff Buell, upon hearing of the matter, pro- ceeded to the pot for the purpuse of arrcsting Hoey, but, un bemg informed by the family that it ‘wus parely accidental, made no urrest. The chila was some time ago adopted by Henry Turner, also colored. THEY LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. On lust Tuesduy four individuals were noticed ‘prowling about the city, and complaint was made by several to Marshal Hall, who Kept an eye upon them during the afternoon and carly part of the evening. About 11 o'clock tn the night Mr, Hall, in company with Ullicer Stoltz, procceded down in the vicinity of the railroad engine-house, where they discovered the party alluded to. asked their business in that locality, they re- plied that ‘it wasnone of their business, " wiiere- upon “-Litte Ed” took hold of 'two and Stoltz of the remaining two, and started for the lock-up. .

He was commanded to **half or be - shot, " but he paid no attention, wherenpon a bul- let striking hiw in the back’reveiled to bim the trath of Mr, Hall's remarks.

July 14.~The excessive heat has driven many people from the city, and it begins to be lively at the Springs. From early morn- ing until late at night peoplo are riding and walking to Bethesds, the Glen, Schirian, the Lethean, ete. The park at Bethesda is gener- ally favored with a breeze, and many of thise warm mornings have been very bearable there. The water itself is so refreshing that by fre- quent sipping one can keep cool withiu if not without. Sitting in the shade of one of the pavilions, a person can also drink in the quict beauty of the landseape. The hill opposite crowned by the tower; the village to the right; the buildings of the Industrial School on the left. Then the pleasant surroundings; the trees, now grown large coough to cast s pleas- ant shade; beds of bright flowers,—the portu- Jacas are in their glorv now,—chil- dren, that look like gay blossoms, pad- dling their little boats on the tiny pool; the group of people about the spring, drinking, drinking, till one loses countof the number of glasses, and begins to estimate the smount drank inquarts. ‘We bave heard extravagant stories of the Wisconein appetite, but the unquenchable thirst for epring water that has been developed in Wau- kesha js much more remarkable. Would that all Deverages that man drinks were a8 harmless and as helpful. It s quite smusing sometimes to pick up the bits of conversation that float out from the groups of gay or ghastly visitors, One had a let- ter from Fred last night, and he is s0 disconsolate that he will leave busincss and come up Saturday; another has decided to have different colored hows on her sun-hat, to match different dresses; another liss found a boarding-place where the steak is tough, but, 0s a compensation, she has s nice, stutfed chair in herroom. Many are discussingthe character and cffect of the waters. “It is a different throng every senson—one notes few familiar faces. REMINISCENCES. E Could s magician summon at_once all the pebple who have stoodl at the shrine of Bethewds, it would De a company that would not only f1 the park, but the entire village. Many would come from far- away States; others from foreign countries, Num- bers have gone unto that bourne from whence no traveler retarns. Dethesda is_the frame for many happy groupings and summer-day scenes. Bat, as 1 a1t and think, only one stands out clear and dis- tinct, and I sce, azainst the glory of the sunsct, & merry company of half-a-dozen laughing, chatting girls, standing about the helf-barrel that is sunk in the newly-discovered spring, and daintily tasting ~the water from their silver cups to see if there is really anything in it. Soon they are joined by sev- eral gentlemen, and they all pick their way over the 6w, marshy ground, and seat themselves on the eprawling roots of an overturned stnmp that is the only resting-place- the spot af- fords; and they linger there until the long grass is drenched with'dew, and then have a sorry time making their way to the sidewalk. Two of these young Iadies afterwards made *‘spring matches:" oneis faraway. ‘The gentlemen have also seat- tered, one literally took his life in his hand and ‘went as & missionary to Turkey, where he is now doubtless seeing troublous times. And only a few weeks ago we looked for the last time upon the {air face of the one who was the life and centre of the party. It is such a little time since they were all together. May they allincet in that blessed country where *‘they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; for the Lawb which ie in the midst of the throue shall fecd them, and shall lead them into living fountains of waters, and all tears shall be wiped away. " - SILURIAN BATHS, ETC. While Bethesda holds hier own, the other springs presont many uttractions. Mr. Smeston hos re- opencd - his_bath-rooms ot the Silarian, and they are well patronized. The Lethean grounds are still & ection of the exquisite taste bf the pro- rietress, and the handsome, airy pavilion of the Fountain Spring is generally occupied. It begins to be a difficult maiter tofind a good boarding- place. Mr. Salsman, of the Mansion ouse, haa engoged o dozen rooms in neighboring private houses and will soon be obliged to use themn. There ‘were never before o many families willing and anxious to take a few boarders, and many visitors prefer o exmple. village home to a hotel. Prices range from &7 to $30 per week. They secm high, ‘but when one considers that the season s but two or three months, and that for the rest of the year rooms and furniture are unuacd, they &a nottp- pear so extravagant. FOSSILS. Not a few of the vieitors are groatly interested fn the geological specimens of the place. . The stones arc silurian limestone, and are very rich in fossils and casts; every foot of the sidewalk bears some treasure ta the lover of geology, and foon the long ‘horn of the orthocoralite, the carl of the ammonite, and thebeautiful cast of the trilobite grow familiar, Crinoidal stoms and beads aro also common, and several varieties of corl arc found. The work- men at the quarry save the best specimens that they find, and some have lnrge sssortments of valuable fossils that they are glad to sll. It is quite fashionable to Aunt for fossils, though few Daove the enthusiasm to hammer rocks in the melt- ing sun of the last week. &+ And ths our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in 'trecs, books In the runbing rooks, Sermons in 6tonds, and good in everything.” ‘THE WEATHER. We have had an unusual succession of very warm days, but after reading the accounts of the extreme ‘heat in New York and other cities we have no rea- son to complain. The temperature suddenly de- cressed last evening, and to-day the weather i3 per- fect: just enough breeze to sway the branches of the trees, just chough life in the sir to make it invigorating.

Evanston has never gone into the summer re- sort business to any great extent. While its neighbors in all directions are straining every perve to impress the public with an adequate conception of ‘‘the sdvantages as a summer re- sort” each particular burg possesses, Evanston, asin times past, moves alongin the even tenor of its way, consclous of possessing attractions to persons of quict disposition and refined taste which its newer and nolsier neighbors can not hape to rival, and attracting numbers of such desirable vigitors without making any preten- sions or loudly setting forth its advantages. From a f’ournnlfisuc standpoint, Evanston is rather dull at ?resem. The usual summer quictude has settled down upon this delightful suburban retreat, and but little is done which calls for the pen of the chronicler of daily events. This dullness, however, is by no means that of stagnation. Far from it. It Is simply that which'is to be expected when warm weather comes, and the sensible people of a sensible suburb settle down to enjoy themselves in a quiet and sensible way, and to take a few weeks’ rest from the social activities in"which they are usually, engaged. While “there is nothing filng on,” they are not devoid of amusements, t are ipdulging quietly but socially in boating, driving, croquet parties, and kindred recreations, and find more real enjoyment at their own comfortable homes than those who brave the heat, dust, and annoyances of travel in search of recreation and amusement.

AT TIIE TRUSTEES' MEETING Iast week the Village Engineer’s report upon the drainage of the southern part of Hyde Park, which fs of considerable importance to tax-pay- ers, wasread. It stated that the recent rain and overflow of water had caused great irrita- tion and troublg in the southern sections, and that the problem to be solved was, how the drainage could be properly effected, with the lake between 8 and 4 feet above the village da- tum, while the greater part of the property was only 4or 5 feet, in many cases not over 4 fect above. The greatest belght ever attained by Lake Michigan was 8.9 fect above datum in 1859, and this summer it is'only 6 inches lower. The onl{ feasible way to drain the land ap- pears to be by dredging o canal from the Calu- met River, from 30 to 40 feet wide, and6or § fcet deep, to a point within 24 or 3£ of amile from a timbered clevation, known "as Cottage Grove avenuc ridge. The material dug from such a eanal could be conveniently end profit- ably used in raising the grades of streets and in filling-in private property. The construction of this und a few otuer short canals further south, together with the opening of the Calumnet Lake outlet, would reclain many acres of valuable land, and Jargely enhance the valuc of real estute. ' The ‘manufactarers, who have been obliged to cease on this ‘account, would, upon the construction of a practicable system of drainage, recommence op- erutions, and would be followed by others. ‘The matter of the dreinage of this portion of Hyde Park is nndoubtedly of imporwnce, and de- mands immediate attention. 5 MISCELLANEOUS, v Mr. and Mrs. Talcott have just left for Racine, Wis.

The people here, or rather the members of the churches, are having a lively discussion as to whether the reading of the Sunday papers is ‘bresking the S8abbath. A prominent member of the Methodist Church took to taskon the morn- ing train the other day another member of the same church for reading the Sunday papers. A long argument was the result, but neither was convinced that his views in the matter wero wrong. Since the above occurred, others have discussed the question, but not one reader of ‘Tre TuiBUNE has ordered his subscription dis- continued, and it is fair to presume that such nurrow and bigoted views as are advanced against reading Sundsy papers will not be ac- cepted by the majority of the citizens of the vifinge. 1t is o noticeable fact that those that are strongest in arguing that it is wrong to read the papers published Sunday sre among the first to advertise on that day in ‘'rE TRIBUNE, and also are perfectly willing to refer to that paper when they wish'to hunt up any item of news in which they are particulatly Intérested.

An article in Scribner’s Monthly says: A Paris- ian ladyis not said to be dressed nowadays, nor does she even order a dress to be made for her. She asks her dressmaker to mold a dress upon her, and, when this is done, she is called a moule. To be molded, you must begin by adapting every article of your underclothing to the shape and size prescribed by fashion. There- in lies the ‘only secret of perfection in dress which the Parisfenne possesses over other women. Next to the Parislenne it is the American woman who {s considered to be “the best dressed.” She has one fanlt, however,—she is mot always juponne according to the requirements of her toflct. As arule, cach dress should have its separate set of skirts, to be worn exclusively with it, and this should be supplied by the dressmaker her- self, as it shonld always be almost of the same length and width as the skirt of the dress, and always of the same shape. Now fwo under- skirts, at the utmost, are worn. The one which accompanies the dress, and which is of white musliu, is trimmed with lace insertions and edgings. No flounces are worn on under- skirts. ~They are too bulky for the present style of dress. The skirt to be worn under this muslin skirt is of white foulard, which material clings better than azng other to the figure. And theskirt (which is gored, 50 as not to form & s!ngk;‘flnit) is stitched to the edge of the corset, in order to leaye the igure perfcetly untrammeled by band or belt, however thin. “The skirt is also trim- med with lace insertion and edging. The corset is very long—a la Jeanne d’Are. “Asa guide, it should beof the length of the dress cuirass which cuirasse, by the Dy, is now only simulate by trimming on the dress. This, ugain, 18 to avoid giving extra size to the fizure. Some dispense with the second skirt of white silk; they wear an undergarment of white silk under the corset, which garment they trim with lace, as if it were a skirt. It is made as longasan ordinary skirt, and it takes the place of one. In reality, therefore, no skirts are worn_by the most” strict. To recapitulate, a fashionable lady’s toilet now consists of a white silk bodice inlaid with Valenciennes, which white silk bod- ice is continued into a skirt, which is also richly trimmed with lace insertions and edginlfi. This garment answers two purposes and is called by two names. Then comes the long cuirasse cor- set of white or pink satj, which improves the entire figure. An extmlfhilc foulard skirt may be stitched to the edge -of the corset, but this is not necessary. It should, however, be woran ander costumes not provided with o special un- derskirt of their own. The dressitsclf, of what- ever material it may be, is of the Princess shape, —that is, in one piece from neck to hiem of skirt. The trimming on the dress sinulates cairasse and even tunie. But separate cairzsses or tunics arequite 10id_aside, as being too bulky, and hiding the outlines of the figure too much. It thue 10llows that nothing is worn under a dress body excepting the under corset. Bad, indeed, must be the figure that does not look molded under this system of underdothln%. You may ‘wear a cotton dress of $5, if you will, but under this must be worn the finest foulards aud the richest Jace. Noris ft the dressmaker who can wmake the fizure. This depends eantirely on the corset-manufacturer. There is evena talk of ‘having dress cuirasses made by corset-makers, and the skirts would then be fastened to the corset, which would at the same time form the body of the dress.

SHE CIHANGED HER MIND. ‘Two years ago (says the New York Sun)a very pleasant party was sssembled at a certain charming cottage on the Newport Cliffs. It was in carly July, before the great rush, when cottage life is much more enjoyable than at the height of the season. The lady of the house had invited four young girls, oll lovely, two of ‘whom had been out for three winters, and were pretty well versed in the little mysteries of New York fashionable life. To meet these charming creatures four gentlemen had been bidden to the cottage. Three of these were among the best partis in town, being of good family and handsome fortune. The fourth, Harry Barton, a yousg lawyer just commencing his career, was one of the greastest beaux,in soclety, and one of the most popular men at the clubs; but he was poor—his fortune was yet to make. He had been invited to the co".:%exrsrfl( because of his wit, cleverness, and s tal- cots, and. because of his well-known ad- miration for Miss Clifton, to whow he had de- .voted himself ever since she first made her ap- pearance in society, some three years before Barton was desperately in love, and bad made ‘up his mind to marry Clifton if she would have him. So far he had not asked her to be- come his wife; he hesitated on account of his slender means, but of late his basiness pects had brightened, sod he determined to make the fatal plunge before leaving Newport. Miss Clifton was, as the phrase goes, very fond at the foot of the village-hill, fifi:’; ‘and gray, stands the old Stonc Mll, Vith its sagging roof, its rotten flume, 1ts creaking wheel, and its dusty room.

Two years had passed sincs the episode we have related, when, in the latter part of June of the present 'year, substantially the same party were again assembled at the catl tage on the Newport Clif.
