Russian sweaihouse only give you an i'm
preston of the climate IN which are in this Ca
pita gentl end ladies, rapidly dlssoving like cam
lies and candy. The Thompsonan system of
steamng is last IN universal operation-with this
difference, that, instead of obea, many Of our
wlsest wlseacres prefer ueps and oddies, very cool
and very strong. A fat man, occasionally seen
about the hotels has disappeared most mysteriously
within u day or two, supposed to have died from
spontaneous explosion, dissolution, or combustion!
The hackmen, acclimated to any thing short of pur-
gatory the north pole, look greasy from exuda-
tion so many sides of smoked bacon melting and
frying in the The oldwoman who sits from years
end to years end at the western gate Of the Capitol,
retailing apples and peanuts, has had to put on pair
of double guarded weak-eyed goggles, from the in
tensity Of the suns refractions. The amber from
the tobacco-chewers fries upon the 0ttor OF Penn
sylvanla Avenue, like water upon fish gridde The
shower which we expected Yesterday was absorbed
before 1t reached us. The clouds about US to-day
look as hard and fearless as cotene OF old blue
light orthodox parsons. Oh for Elijah's eloud:-


Saw ye not the cloud arise,


Little as human hand


See, it spreads along the skies,


Waters all the thirsty land"


Such phenomenon would, indeed, be worth
looking at. Let pray for rain. Cross yourselves,
We Catholic fathers-cross yourselves and call upon
Mary Mother TO give little ran-ca upon the
blessed saints, old Noah especially, and we shall
have a slight sprinkle, if not a deluge Elongate
your visages, my Presbyterian friends, little more,
and pray dolorously for RAIN And you, ye philoso-
phic brown coats, and broad brims, strengthen
yourselves IN the inner man, that ye may wreste
tor the blessing, like Jacob Of old. But upon our
Methodist brethren we mainly rely. Call nightly
for the power-pray like men in earnest-take hea-
ven by storm, and ten to one we shall have storm
sing, brethren, sing =


"Rain-rain-rain, my Saviour


Ran-rain-rain, my Lord"


Oh for shower of rain Oh that the clouds
would arise! Oh, that the thunder would peal
Oh, that we had regular out-and-outer 1t would
do US good. 1t would make us grateful, and 1t
might stop, in its cooling effect upon the air, this
incessant absorption OF brandy and gin. Oh for
shower Of ram that shall last till July Otherwise,
If Washington city be in the heart of the temperate
zone. u.s. Saint John. from the deserts of Africa.
We feel warm in the discussion of this subject but
as it may be dry your readers, shall dismiss II,
still hopeful OF shower this afternoon.


Would you believe 1t, that the President and ia
mlly find more peace, and quiet, and meet with far
fewer perpexing opportunities at Coleman's public
hotel than they suffered at the Executive mansion
1t was for sometime expected by Mr.. Matthew st;
CLAIR Clarke's friends, that the President would
take his fine mansion for the interim OF the repair
| ing of the White House. Mr. Clarke's house Is a
large and splendid one, norhward, across vacant
public square, from the Presidents. But there the
Executive family would have been expected to keep
open house stated days, to give public drawing
rooms, levees, &c. They desire repose-relaxa-


ton from the unintermtted labers of several months,
in their attendance upon the calls individually, and
by deachments of the dear, delightful people. The
poor dear old dowagers disconsolate--thelr
occupation is necessarily suspended for
fortnight, or month"; or two, according to
the stay of the Executive household at Coleman's
The dowagers lodged most deliciousy. What
a horrd thing 1t is, but never mind; there is prl-
vate entrance Coleman's hotel, and see if these
ladies' don't discover II, and never rest till they have
found Mrs. Polk home,'' and poured their com
plants of the guillotlne into her charitable ears,


We learn that II IS the purpose of Messrs. Blair
x Rlves To lay the corner stone OF jackson Hail. on
| the 4th July, with great and imposing ceremonies.
| The workmen are rapidly preparing the ground
Some whig suggests in the Integencer that we have
a general National celebration on the GLORIOUS
fourth in hopes, perhaps, that the blending Of all
political elements even tor one day, might tend TO
mitigate the rigorous exactions of the rule of rota-
ton But we tell him that it would not answer
Ii he be whig, and an IN, he might well with
becoming grace, resign himself to 90 ont, tor out ne
will have To go. We are certainly believer IN the
doctrine that an occasional reorganization OF the
pe,soneie of the departments Just essential to
the efficiency of the administration, the ventlla-
ton is TO the healthfulness of their atmosphere
We have nothing further of the robbers of Mr..
Paine. Ii appears that he had perhaps New York
money among the $1,000 taken from him. The sum
was made up of new notes OF zoos and SOS OF Boston
and Worcester Banks with several 20s. Strong
hopes are entertained here that the rogues will be
nabbed


We had nearly forgotten the Hon. Mr.. Bagby. We
are glad TO see him yet among u.s. though we regret
that he has been detained on account OF the Ill
health of his family. We had thought that he re-
manned of because that ere mileage but we
suppose that he will make 1t up some way. We now
| honestly assure him that letter writers have the
feelings and sympathies of other men and that 4
! he unustly assalls them as he has done, he VIII
| meet with set OF customers more annoying
than the warlike population of hornets nest
