NEw YoE, July 18.—Our public and private parks, and the thonsands of magnificent lawns {n this vicinity, have been suffering for rain for Imany weeks, and, 28 if to add to the aggrava- tion of the situation, we are compelled to read {n the papers of floods and storms in the West. The positive destruction of grass by the burning heat js immense, and it is ‘heart-sickening to see the withered roots,where once a green sward was visible, in Central Park and the lesscr squares throughout the city. Buton Tuesday night we had an hour's hard rain, sccompanied by light- ning and thunder to an extentgwhich must have satisficd the most intense lover of these. The water poured in torrents, and in Brooklyn play- ed havoe fn some localities, to the injury of whole rows of brown-stone-front houses, and destruction of sewers.. The heat, howerver, con- tinues unsbated, and the exodus from the city to the sea-snoro is incressing.. We know all about Lot weather, a few days at atime here, but it is many years since the héated term haslasted 50-long. ~The smount of suffering among children and the goorer classes hus been fearful, and the only people who are glad are' the jce- dealers and jee-cream men. i SINGTLAR MEETING OF AN OLD LOVIR The proprictor of a summer hotel near this city bad a very sisgular expericnce recently. Among his gucsts were a middle-aged widow: and *her married daughter and husband. Ie was impressed with the idea that he had some- where seen the widow before, but could not tell -shen or where, Finally, making inquirics ‘ghout her, it appeared thet she was formérly a Miss S—, living on Ninth street in this city,in 2 location formerly very fashionable. Itap- ‘pears that the landlordewas an old besu of the lady's, and that they were once engafed to be married, but she was a great fiirt, and- the gen- tlemian became offended by some actions of hers which, be. regarded as indiscreet.. He went to Europe, and on his retirn was infermed that the -oun); woman was dead. Under this impression + fie forgot all about her. Strangely cnougl, the woman, about the same time, married xnd re- moved 'to Cinvinnati, Durinr a_subscquent visit to New York she was likewise informed that her former lover was deceased,—a circutn- .+ - stance quite natural, 8s thE papers reported thie 3 \nniniqf 2 man of the same name. He mar- . rfed and became a widower. A fortnight ago the meeting ovcurred, aud when he had made himself known the woman could hardly belicve her own senses. Each party imagined the otber Lad risen from the dead, but the acquaintance thus revived has been s huppy onc to both, and the boarders are remarking the singalar fond- fiess” of ‘the widow for the lundlord. The ex- planations which followed only intensified the ew attachment, and it is supposed a wedding n_September will be the result. MARRIAGE EXTRAOKDINARY. Oceasionally the newspapers contain an ac- sount of the marriage of persons ‘whose former relation has been very close, so close, in fact, 8s to make the marriage rather; conspicuous, i not objectionable. This was the casc of James Parton iarryipg his step-daughter. Recently a .strange occurrence of this gort took-place in this . cityy-where a young: widow married her father+ In-law, which might be more properly character- ized 8s that of-3 man marrying his son’s widow. As shie had one child by her first husband, the * product of the second marriage will be related th the first child rather peculfarly. However, this was a match of propriety as well es conven- jence.

One of-the prominertt legal luminaries of this - -city hes for a dicot a wealthy old lady, now, 4 ~N\érging on to four score years in age. She is reported to possess about & million, well invest- ed i réul catate’ and ,dividend-puying bonds. She has but few relatives, anid these few pester ier beyond all reason.. Two of them-are her own children, already rich from the proceeds of their father’s bounty when Hie died twenty years sgo. There arc four grandchildren, and a half- ddzen nicces and nephews. Between all these o coustant striggle has been going ou for scveral years to secure the faver of the old ludy, and “btain remembrance jn ber will. The conse- guence s that they keep her in constant hot water, and several times,she has petulantly in- fprmed those nearest to her that she will disin- lerit the entirc lot. “The lawyer before men- tioned has drawn for the old lady ne less than . ingly enjoy iirteen wills in ten years! In the beginning she devised certain bequests, and then changed them Ly codicils. The additions, Thowerer, be- eame'so conllicting that she was advised to * * make a new will.® Since then cvery new whim or desite as to the disposition of her property demands o new will, and she Yefuses 1o believe in codecils atall. Ooce, five years- ago,shie srranzed the deeds of certain -property und_the stocks and bonds in separate envelopes,agd marked thein on the outside with her own Linds for those whom ske desizned to Deuetit. Repeatedly she bas been advised to di- videher property while she lives, but she stead- ily refusts and says, * No, it Ido, I shall regret +if and beunbappd.” Her latest willis now in the Sufe Deposit é)omumxy’s vaults, and devises the bulk of her property to certam benevolent in- sgtitutions. Our legal friend predicts, however, thut be will be sent for within three mouths to - dguw another will, unless in the interim the ‘a¥ed will-maker should luppen to die. Thus the riches of the world trouble their'possessors, and the old lady isworrying herself to the grave : disposing of her property. BULL-DOG VS. WILD-CAT—CIVILIZING CONTEST. _71f all shades of bumanity are found in great dtics, it must’ be admitted that some of the shades are very dark in this one. There is a saloon on Stanton street, near Christie, where +the propriétor keeps a young wild-cat and a fierce bull-dog, which he delights in putting ageinst gach other in brutal-combat. The su- periority of the animel‘over the man's nature in this instance {s shown by the fact that neither the wild-cat nor the bulldog evince any desire +30'fight when left to themselves, but have to be + goaded on with every device the man Is capable .ot using in order to provoke them into an en- rounter. . After every available provoeation is msed to rouse them to enmity and rag) the - animals. are let loose “umpon each other, aod ectators (only a little -Jess brutal i the owner of the behsts) describe the fights as terrible.

Last Saturday night such & contest took place until even the specta tors begged that it might be ended, and it was not untll s messenger had been sent for-the police that the proprietor separated the furious animals. This is indeed a dark phase of civiliza- -~ tion in this great city, but most painful refiec- tion of all is that there are doubtless hundreds of demoralizing and debasing spectacles oc- curring nightly, sbout which the police and publicgmlzfinufiined and know noth!nplg- % A SUDDEN RISE IN FORTUNE. Onc of the passengers bound to Europe on the steamer Queen, which left this port l:\.sc Saturday, was o young man named James Shir- ley, whose sudden rise in fortune is quite an in- teresting story. Shirley was recently 2 boot- black, aud had his stand near St. Paul’s Church. Onc_day sbout a mionth ago ‘he blacked the boots of Mr. Frank Carrington, of No. 45 East Tenth street. This gentleman by mistake | handed the boy s $20 gold plece instead of 2 silver half-dollar, and told him to keep the change. The boy was so dazed by the gift that before he could recover from his astonishment Mr. Carrington bad left. He searched for him in vain, and that ~ night gave the money Snto the hands: of the Superin- tendent of the Newsboys' Lodging Home, desiring him to advertise for the é)my and return it to him. The next day Mr. Carrington was discovered, and the gold coin restored to bhim. He was so plessed” by the occurrence that he instituted inquiries regarding the boy’s associations and honesty, and was so_impressed by his worthiness that he determined to adopt nim. The boy was only too willing to actept the offer, and aiter a few weeks’ schooling he was called upon_to accompany his benefactor upon. a trip to Europe. On aturday he dis- tributed 2 pocket full of nickels to his old boot- black friends, and bade them good-by. ‘The boys gave him three cheers, and few passengers for Europe have departed with more affection- ate God-speeds than the young man ‘whose hon- esty bas led him into the path of fortune. SOPT THING FOR THE SEVENTH REGIMENT. Our crack militia’ Tegiment returned from ‘Philadelphia last week l.ire'd with their Centen- nial trip, and glad to get back. Talk about the gufferings of emigrants and troops on the plains! These were trifling compared with the trials epdured by the Seventh. ‘marching upon alkali plains, in a dry and arid country, our boys were compelled to travel in palace-cars, 00 express traing, and as soon as they reached their camping grounds, were forced to occupy a floored tent, Wwith an iron bedstead, mattroases, and linen shects and toilet conyen- jences all at_hand.

Their ~drink was horri- blel—water snd iced ciampngmel night they were privileged to _spen: their tim¢ in the salons of Philadelphia’s choicest families; and thus ‘they toiled and la- Savod for nearly b week, uphiolding the honor of thelr country and their country’s flag.

'ANOTHER CASE OF DEPRAVITY. A Jersey City scandal has broken out afresh, and causes new sorrow in asomewhat prominent family in that suburb. Charles Hyatt, the hus- Dband of a pretty wife, ‘the daughter of ome of New Jersey’s most honored sons, was sometime ago caught flggrante delictu with & young woman pamed Mary Davis, of Boston. Tie wife flew to her parents, and the guilty husband sent away Dis mistress. Then commenced efforts for rec- onciliation, which, after a few weeks, were suc- cessful. The husband promised reformation, and the injured wife forgave him his past per- fidy. The truth is that the wife 18 the legitimate heir of considerable wealth, and the infamous Lusband sought her forgiveness merely o con- tinue an influence over her when she acquired the expected wealth. The family peace, how- ever, was again broken by the misconduct of Hyatt, and a second time the wife returned to her parcuts. The wiles of her husband were too maeh for her, and again sheforgave him and re- sumied the position of wife.© Hyatt was thor- oughly bnd).;‘uud his perfidy again illustrated it- self when he -packed up his trusiks and left Jerscy City for the‘West in company with his paramour, and uow the injured wife is nedsly heart-brokén.

After performicg_Mabein ‘ Plque ™ for 217 times, Miss Fainy Davenport has retired, and Miss Lewis now performs the part. Fanny is passipriztely fond of fhe Ocean, and s accord- ig her summer vacation by the sea- side.

Mr. Wilbelm Hendlein, 2 young man rocently from Germany, was brought before the Court on a charge of breach- of-promisc. There were three ¢omplainants, Minnic Spindler, Fanuy Sparks, and Ida Ittman, each of whom charged that he had been engaged to be married to them and had violated his promisc under circumstances that threatened: serious consequences. Henleln frankly ad- mitted his gailt, but said he could not marry but one of them, and if the three could agrec upon the girl he would marryher. Jidge Bixby approved the proposal, and .advised the girls to settle their cholce. They retired for consulta-. tion, as the political conventions woul say, and after five minutes’ talk they decided that 3liss Sparks should have Henlein. The result was communicated to Henlein, who cxpressed him- self satisfied, and that evening the tvain were made one. Itwas o sing:lslur ending of the ar- rest of Henlein when the disappuintedgirls who is in no hurry for an Rockawa; ‘Beach on the lymoutholtl‘:::{i‘mp o ol THE CASE OF THE CHICAGO EX-MANAGER. Mr. W. H. Leake, the ex-manager of the Chi- cago Academy of Music, was not released from Ludlow-Street Jail, as stated in this correspond- donce last week, He was taken before Judge Donshue on the 10th upon a writ of hubeas corpus, when it appeared that ‘the accusation against him is that he absconded from the Lake City with $1,000, which he owed his employers. | Evidence was offered to prove that Leake did | his best to prevent the season from being 8 fail- | ure, and that the failure was through no fault | of his. It appeared, however, that he hadsome money when he left the city, and it was held that this was sufficient to meke a prima facie casc of intended froud. The Judge remanded him into custody in default of $2,000 bail, to stapd his trial during the October term. Leake so far has not been able to find bail, as it seems thegiving of bail is equivalent togiving security for the debt. He had made an engagement to join the Minnie Doyle Fnrty on their West India trip, and they sailed without him. His case:is a hard one.

She scnt him perfumed notes daily for several weeks, to which he paid no atten tion. Finally he resolved to teach her a lesson. He briefly answered her last note, and, at her own request, made an appointment to meet her in onc of the parks. Shekept the appointmerit, was thrilled with delight and sentiment, and, in spite of Her infatuation, seemed to Mr. B. a very until they reached the front of a arge hospital, when he asked ber to make a call with him upon a sick lady.

Then he left them alone. The sick one took the gizl’s hands and said she wished to tell her & story of her own life, which was a short one. She had become c¢namored of an actor, had written him perfumed notes, had met him, loved bitn, surrendered her honor into his hands, and been betrayed. * Sdpurncd by her family, she sought the streotg, and found degra- dation, despair, and death, The Yonug girl was horrified, but understood the application. ~ She never saw Brougham_again, and returncd home sodder and wiser.

Dun & Co. has issued its usual semi-annual statement of failurcs. The total for the past six months, as compared withsame period of last year, is far from reassur- ing, as the following will show: Amount, 1875, $ 4,000,00 1576, 64,000,000 1875, $ 33,000,000 1576, 43,000,000 78,000, 000 s 3 4,600 #1035 000000 This shows & startling increase, ‘both in the aumber of failures and smount of Habilities for the six months just concladed, but attention is drawn to the fact that this increase mainly occurred in the first quarter of the year. - Although tho figuros for | the threo months just closed are somewhat lnrger than those in the corresponding quarter of 1875, tbere is n marked decline in the figures for the second quarier of the current year. In other words, the nomber of failurcs in the last three. mionths are less in number by 1,000 than in the preceding three months of this yoar, while the liabilities show a declint of $21,000,000, both items showing an improvément of over 40 per cent. . This variation is greater than over before in the same period, and happily, in this instsnco, the ‘variation is n the right direction. It appears from the clrcalar before s, that the average linbilitics of cach quarter in the past eighteen months arc 851,000,000, ; 80 that the lisbilities of the quarter Just closed ($£3,000,000) arc $8,000,000 less than the average. Notwithstanding this depresaing exhibit, the coun- try can readily be shown to be increasingin wealth and resources. Tho crops have been good, and economy, not alone in the narrow sense of personal expenature, but in the restriction of manufactur- ing, in buying and sellfng with coation, ond In re- ducing indebtedness, hos become almost nniversal, . The personal and commercial methods of extruy- agance that brought on the panic have ‘been re- placed by the most sober and conservative prac- tices, that will be certain to bring back prosperity. RAILWAY EARNINGS. Statements of raillway carnings, made within two weeks atter the close of 8 month, when lcss than half of theusual reports have been recelved, arenot of the highest:value, but there is a natural impatience to get sdine report, whether complete ormot, s carly as possible. Thus fer, as our tubles given, in news columns show, only twenty- one rouds have reported for any part of June, and only fourteen for the whole month, while thirty- five have now _reported carnings for May. The agarezate carnings of thirty-five rouds for May are $10, 625, 057 against earnings of $9,800, 007 by the game roads during Muy, 1875, a guin of over & Dercent. The twenty-one roads reporting for the Khole ora part of Juue, earned in 1876, only $6,117, 849, against $5,715, 750 in 1875, o Muin of 7 percent. This would indicate a less satisfuctory trafic in Junc than in May, but the complete re- turns may show quite different results.—Zhe Public, July 1. 'EXPORT OF SILVER COIN. Director Linderman, of the Min?, has put a stop {0 the export of silver trade dollars, which has been large, to sogar and coffee growing countrics. The demand from that quartgr for silver has been met Dy sending bullion to fhe mint for coinage into trade dollars, which could be sold at about 99 cents currency. Tho Director of the Mint has notified ‘Dullion-dealers that, **on account of limited ap- propristions and the necessity which exists for the coinage of subsidiary silver, the mints will have to confine the silver coinage, for the present at Jeast, to subsidiary coln. Therefore, parties desirous of depositing silver for coinage into trade dollars are informed thatit is uncertainas to the time when the mint maybe able to make returns for the same.” 1t I8 believed in New York, as the Government I promptly reimbursed for the coinage of trade dollars by the partics depositing the bullion, that the plea of **limitedappropriations " is a mere ex- cusc, and that the Government has some other reason it does not wish to disclose.

The leading produce markets were, rather slow; Satarday, =s is not unusucl for the closing dny of the Yeek; and rather more dull than consistent with strength. There.was not much demand in any de- partment, with a considerable increasc dn the ag- grogate of roceipts. The feeling in grain was very much unaettled, few operators having any confi- dence in an advance, while fearing a reaction from the recent arop in prices. Hence an undecided style of trading, those who did operate buying in one ‘breath and selling in the next, or vica versu. The shipping movement was decidedly dull, , 'The position of the dry-goods market was essen- tially the same as noted on the carlier days of the week. There was an absence of activity, orders being restricted to small quantitics for reassort- ment. Groceries were moving with some freedom, and the general market agein presented a firm tone. Sugars are sl the centre of intercst. Under the almost unprecedentedly active demand of the past few weeks stocks in the honds of distributors have become reduced to exceedingly small diwmensions, and the course of prices continues upward. Quotations were advanced an %@%c¢ on Saturday. Siraps and molasees are working firmer, in sympa- thy ‘with sugars. Coffees remain in a very quict state, but are frm. Rice was in good de- mand at full figures. For teas, starch, soaps, and othier lines, there was & steady fecling. .In the butter market no decided change was apparent, - prices, under a well sustained demand, ruling about steady. Cleese was quoted quiet and easy. Dricd fruits remain inactive. There was a light Qemund for fish at Fridey's prices. Coal and wood remain inactive. Bagging was in better demand and ruled firm. Oile, paints, and colors wero un- changed. Lumber was quict at both yards and docks. The offerings of cargoes were small, snd buyers were holding back, 18 usual on Saturdays, and prices have underzone no change since Friday, when, it appears, concessions werc made on plece stuff, The retail business continues small, and there is -little doinz at the yards except in the way of preparing for the fall trade. Iron was dull and unsettled again, the card estab- lished in the spring having been discounted by some of the manufucturers. Wool was in little ‘better request and tolerably steady. Seeds con- tinue inactive, timothy being mostly talked aboat, ‘but no one appears ready to buy new while, there 15 any uncertainty in regardto the coming crop. Light hides were firm under a good demand and moderate offerings. Broom-corn was quiet nnd unchanged. The crop reports from Illinois were ot so promising, the corn In nearly all the broom- corn sections having been injured by the wet weather. Green fruits were sclling fairly at strong- er prices for moat varieties. Poultry and eggs were unchanged. Lake freights were dull aud easy at the recent de- cline, at 1%c for corn and 134c for oats, by sall to Buffalo. Rail freights were quiet and unchangdd, agents asking 20c to New York, 18¢ to Philadel- ‘phis, 17%4c¢ to Baltimore, and 20c¢ to Boston per 100 te.
