Tue Eveyixo Stan will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month. 2 But all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are The year 1889 is not to be outdone in weather peculiarities even by its distinguished prede- sessor, 1888, which was rendered notable by a series of remarkable assaults upon the earth by the other elements. Air in the shape of blasts of wind, water in rain and snow, and fire in the burning rays of the sun did their best to master the earth. The figst powerful charge of the renewed attack of 1889 is headed by Jupiter Plavius. The recent heavy rain-fall which corrected a Grouth in the northern states has so saturated the earth that the excess of falling water has spread over the surface in freshets, and great damage has resulted, The spring just ended, which had established for itself locally a fine reputation for wetness, rendered its record | phenomenal by the rain-fall of,its closing days. Bladensburg experienced its submerging in April, and last night Georgetown suffered from ‘the conversion of Rock creek from a canal into atorrent. Reasonable fears have been enter- tained concerning the effect upon Wash- | ington of the rise in the Potomac. The | danger to the wharves and shipping, to the unfinished work on the ilats, and to the valuable property along the low- lying ground on and in the vicinity of Pennsyl- vania avenue, causes deep anxiety among the people of the capital on the occasion of every heavy rainfall which brings the report that the Potomac is rising. Not until the flats are re- claimed, and the obstruction of the great dam | called the Long bridge is removed, will the | fear of a repetition of the damage of the great flood of 1877 be to any considerable extent | abated. The calamities accompanying the extraordi- nary rainfall are experienced with the greatest severity in Pennsylvania, The bursting of a reservoir, caused or hastened by the strain put upon it by the swollen waters, added to the deluge at Johnstown, and hundreds of lives, it is feared, have been lost at that point, The in- dications point to a disaster greater in propor- tions and more startling in its incidents than | any similar happening of the past. The events of a like calamity at Mill River, Massachusetts, and even the wildest imaginings of events in the novelist’s description of the flood froma bursted reservoir in Reade’s “Put Yourself in His Place” are tame in comparison. > List to the wail of the urban tabby. Every summer her master and mistress go away to the country and leave her alone to forage in au empty yard, and to seek her accustomed | reakfast on back steps which will blossom with breakfasts no more for a fortnight, or a month, or perhaps a whole season. It is cruel. | If tabby is worth keeping in winter, she is worthy of being provided with the ordinary comforts of life in summer. If she earns her | living at all, she earns it the year around, How many Washington householders look out for the happiness of the soft-footed, plain- | tive-voiced, dainty-mannered family pet when they are making their prepa- rations for a vacation? In New York, and possibly in some other large cities, there is a summer functionary in every deserted district known as the ‘cats’ meat man,” who goes about daily with a basket or a push-cart laden with provisions for the hungry creatures left behind at the domestic exodus, In Boston | the society for the prevention of ernelty | to animals makes a specialty of suffocating lonesome, unfed cats, of course with their own- ers’ permission. But there isa refinement of torture practised there which ought to be remedied, even if the common council have to be called in to effect the change: the rooms of the society are in Milk street; and imagine the shock a sensitive kitty must receive when her | — hopes are raised by being escorted down a| highway with such a name, only to be con- fronted with the cage of death and invited to walk into it! Sete The session of the civil service commis- sioners in New York for the purpose of inves! gating the alleged frauds practiced in filling up the clerkships in that institution, has already | had some startling results.

OONTINUED. _ ‘While bemoaning the disestrous results of the storm toits Twelfth Annual Summer “Opening” tht Palais Royal refers with pleasure and pride to the many letters received from out-of-town and resident patrons, One writes: “4 good customer for twelve years.” The sympathy of another is gratifying: “You cannot be more disappointed than I, for I always look forward te the “Opening Days.” Many dozens of letters, all expressing confidence and sympathy and promising such patronage, if the “Oyen- ing” is continued, that the lost days shall be forgot- ten in the harvest that shall come. The Palais Royal replies that it hardly rmgrets the Pitiless rain, since it has brought with it the knowl- edge of so many and confident friends.
