Notwithstanding the long drought and scarcity of water, J. W. X. Browne's windmill has continued to afford the regular supply, and will fill tho bath tub at any time with clear water in about three minutes. If you want a reliable water supply, call on Browne, 127 iiiK uitoi And the iiot Weather at Home and Abroad.

The excessive hot weather and tho extensive dry spoil which has visited this section has extended to other localities, and reports reach us of serious injury to the crops in Middle Tennessee, as well as in the valley south ef here. The pleasant thunder and rain storm which visited us on Friday last was of narrow limtts. It did not extend but a few miles to tho southward, and nine miles east not a drop fell, nor was its influenoe felt to any appreciable degree more than thirty or forty miles northward. It was delightfully refreshing, however, to the country within its area. For twenty-eight days not a drop of rain had fallen here, and the plowed fields were baked as hard as brickbats.

Vegetation was parchod, and cardons, as well as corn, has boon burnt up and ruined by tho beat and dry seige. About Columbia, the Herald says, on Tuesday last no rain had fallen for. twenty days, and those twenty days comprise the hottest weather experienced in nearly ten years, the thermometer ranging along the vorgo of 100 every day, and not much better at night Of course the ground is parchod, the grass is dying and vegetation generally burning up. Tho intense heat and drought has not confined itself to this country alone. Europe has suffered severely, and at Paris laat wook the observers declared there was no authentic record of such heat.

Numerous deaths from sunstroke were reported in Paris, Berlin and various other cities of Europe, where on Tuesday last the heat was reported almost intolerable. A thunder storm at Paris and Berlin Wednesday brought reliof, but no rain had fallen at London at last acoounts, though the weather there had turned off slightly cooler and more pleasant. The effect of the intense warmth upon the cereal crops of Europe is likely to be damaging, though latest reports state that the averaio yield will be good. In the grain producing region of the Northwestern part of this country, the aocflunts are variable, though not so conflicting but that it is knpwn the crop yield will fall below the average. This accounts for the recent advance in the value of bread-stuffs.

It is too late now for rains to benefit crops in the West or South, except cotton. This great staple has not as yet suffered much, either in this vicinity or elsewhere. With a little rain at the proper time, it may yet yield well, though hardly np to last year anywhere, and the chances favor its falling below in many sections. JEANS SENATORS. TO-DAY TO-DAY!

Little Ono of the boldest games played in this eity by thieves for many a day was unearthed by the police this forenoon and the putter up of the job lodged in the calaboose. In detvl it seems more like a New York sharper's game than liko that of a Southern darky. Chief Davis heard that a oolored woman had DECOYED 8EVERAL LADIES into stairways on Main street, and under pretense of rearranging their skirts robbed them of their pocket books. Deteotives Prydo and Mo Cune were accordingly stationed on Main street to watch, and about 10 o'clock saw a mulatto woman approach a lady on Madison street just south of Main and remark in a low 'voice: "Madam, your skirt is showing." The lady who proved afterward to be JMrs. fil.

A. ot V'J Market street, answered that she could see nothing the matter, but the woman insisted and finally got her consent to enter AN ADJACENT STAIRWAY, where the alleged exposed skirt could be arranged. At this moment.and while the woman was in the act of reaching for her pocket, the detectives grabbed her and took her to the stationhouse. She gave her name as Mary ones and was at once recognized by many of the police. From all accounts she has been car rying on the nefarious business for a month past, and during that time has robbed at least half a dozen ladies in precisely the same way.

One lady was robbed in Moyston's stairway and others in the immediate vicinity. A few days since the woman accosted a young lady in front of B. Lowenstein's and asked her to step into the neigh boring stairway, and allow her to arrange bcr skirts, but the lady preferred to ask a lady friend in the store who informed her that nothing was the matter. The woman had disappeared suddenly. Anothor lady caught her in the act of abstracting her pocket book containing five dollars and made her give it up on the instant Buy Gas Fixture Browne.

The market to-day is quiet and without material change. Indeed for the past few days tho local movement has been too limited to be worthy of remark. The demand is chiefly for the bettor classes, while the small ttock on hand has boon so often culled over that little remains exofpt trashy cotton, and buyers rely chiefly on the daily reeeits of two or three hundred bales to make solections. Salei during the past week sum up J31'5 bales, of which 50 was to exporters and 475 to spinners. The market closed steady at the-same prices as a week ago, except an advance of lo on low middling.

Buy Hose of Browne, 40 Madison. WD AT IT DECIDES. Chancellor Merritt'a Decision Epitomize Mclimnvlllo New Era. 1. It decides every question for complainants that is matorial to the success of the assault upon the 100-3 bill.

2. On the question of bribery he is in doubt, and therefore follows cases outside of our State; but he says that if any case can exist where the courts oan and ought to interfere, it is this. In other words, this case exceeds all others in enormity. 3. He holds that complainants, as tax-payers, have the right to make tho questions.

4. He holds that another Legislature may repeal the 100-3 act. 5. And aside for this the coupon clause would make the act void, and it would be the duty of the courts to so deolare. 6.

If he is right in his view that another Legislature can repeal the act, then the 100-3 fails. If heis wrong in this conclusion, and right in his conclusion as to the law upon the other points, the Supreme Court is bound to deolare the act void. In other word, if he is right as to his conclusion as to what the the law is upon the other points, then the 100 3 is not what its friends intended it to be; that isj an irrenealable contract. The deoision, of good law. established one of two things beyond a doubt, and that is that the whole matter is still in tbe hands ofthepoople.orthat tho act is void, and must be so declared by the Supreme Court.

He rests tho whole cane on the ground that the people, through the Legis-. lature, may have relief, and if not there he would give it through the courts. The friends of the 100-3 propess to be pleased with Chanoellor Merntt's decision; and if so they must admit that the deoision is not the law; or else they must admit that they are trying-to fasten upon tho people a law which is unconstitutional and decided to ba dasgcrous in its tendencies to the welfare of the peopK If Jodgo Mcrritt tells tho truth abouA the 100-3 it ouelit to be put down. We will publish his opinion in fullin ournoxt issue, and comment on various points of it. It is a good campaign document for the opponents of the 100-3 fraud, and will be used freely.in tho aext canvass,.
