The recent weather has been so yenial that ono may almost believe we have had the Bret slight touch of Indian summer. Since October began the whole country has beea under comparatively clear skies and mild temperatures, with few exceptions, unless near the Canada border and the sea and Gulf Cohiis. This bright spell is iu strong contrast with the wet and stormy equinoctial period of September, suggesting that the storms of (hat month drained the atmosphere of the store of watery vaper accumulated during the summer. It is rather early for Indian summer to put in it* appearance, though it did so last year about the 18th of October. Its mual period ranges in theso latitudes from about the first of November to the middle of December, and it has been observed in British America, even later than this. While it is pretty certain that we have scarcely entered upon this charming season the present weather at least presages its approach. Though the thermal changes of the last fortnight have decided iu some sections the southward extension of the frost belt from the aorthward has been delayed, and this delay has given ample time for the growing crop# to suture while the fine weather lms favored the work of finishing up all harvesting. The advance of the presei.t season has been more rapid than the fall of 1881, as was premonished would be the case after last month's great equinoctial storm. But this Indian Summer.

Clark and Mike Cleary, of Philadelphia, are to engage, at Madison Square Garden,New York, to-night Cleary will again face George Rooke, the ambitious middle-weight he punished so unmercifully a few weeks ago. and Clark will meet his old rival, Edward McGlinchy, of Connecticut. Tho tour men have been in training tor some time, and those who should know predict that tho fighting will be fast and furious. It is generally believed that Cleary will knock his man out of time fully as easily as he did before, but most sporting men aro of the opinion that Clark aud McGlinchy are so evonly matched that tho contest between them will bo long and wicked. now."

He is a man whose jiencil has made him a largo fortune in ttiis particular line, and he is, therefore, entitled to contradict freely. "There have always been men who were capable of turning their hands to tho production of telling satires, but it is only ot recent years that the public haB shown a disposition to support them. Many inon remember how barren and unattractive the old-school caricaturing was. Th# cartoonB of the present day would have been absolutely useloss twenty years ago. Then the most ambitious efforts were made to look crude in the extreme. Two or three clumsily drawn figures were placed without background or perspective, and from the mouth of each figure was a scroll or loop, lookiDg like an elongated balloon. In each loop was a long speech, usually taking the form of a political harangue. Th* names of the men the figures were intended to ropre ■out were printed under them. The plainest figures and the longest speeches produced the best effects. Now it is all reversed, and tho most artistic picture, without a liDe of caption, gains the most admiration." anil Robbed of a Large Sura of Money.

Roses will, as usual, be the leading flower, novelties will be introduced, particulorly in what is known as fancy roses, which, correctly speaking, are the class of hybrid perpetuals, of which the General Jacqueminot is the familiar type. That variety, grand as it is, is now superseded, and will undoubtedly eventually be cast in the shade by newer claimants for favor, possessing a more perfect form of flower and great varieties in color. Some of the best of the scarcer varieties are the Baronoss Rothschild, a bouquet in itself; Duke of Edinburgh, resembling the Jacqueminot, but having a distinct scarlet shade; Countess of Oxford, a rich carmine, and Magna Charia a roso of immense size and perfect form, color bright pink. Last season, for the first time, the favorite hybrid tea rose, Duke of Connaught, was introduced. It is very similar to the Jacqueminot, but a much freer bloomer.

We have frequently remarked, and, we think, with good reason, that in China cruelty is a Government monopoly. Wo are therefore glad to sec that at least ono straightforward and high-minded officer has had the courago to step forward and speak plainly about this disgraceful practice. His opening assertion that torture if not regarded as a regular State institution must be looked upon as a polito fiction; but this over, he plunges boldly inta the subject. Tho list of tortures he enumerates is siekoning. Among them are flaying, by stripping oft pieces of paper or cloth which have been pasted oil to the body, pulling out tho tendons, which is done by means of bougln covered with thorns; crushing the anklo bones with hammers, and roasting the flesh with charcoal Bros. Besides these there are various instruments of torture in common through illegal use, which hesnms up briefly as "strange dovices too numerous to explain." Tho men who are guilty of the barbarities coniplaiued of are, he says, cither officials who have obtained their posts by purchase or those who belong to the military service. He the» brings forward a number of instances from olden times,by which ho proves that all the great princes and ministers of antiquity owed much of their fame to theii mercy ; he stigmatizes the officials of the present day as wasps, scorpions and wolves; ha attributes the earthquakes and typhoons that have -recently visited' tho country to their crimes, and quotes the dictum of tho ancient emjierors that the end of punishment was the abolition of the penal laws.

"Well, to begin with, it is necessary to read the daily papers very carefully and to keep thoroughly abreast of the times. Great care must oo taken not to come out too early with a political cartoon, for it takes the public some time to grasp thoroughly an idea, and its presentation before it is widely understood leads to confusion. Much worse, however, is the effect of a cartoon that comes out too late. It falls flat then, and the paper suffers palpably. It is sometimes very difficult to avoid a thing of this sort. We get caught in spite of ourselves once in a while, but often escape by a miraclo* The best instance I ever heard of was in the great political contest at Chicago in 1880, when the machine was the standing terror of the people.

Wo found that it was necessary to have a picture on the Chicago sensation, but couldn't tell what the political situation would be by tho time the paper was issued five or six days later, and were nervous about it At last—this is a state secret—we decided to produce something that might be construed either way. Late Friday I went to work at a double-page picturo representing the ' machine ' as being blown to atoms with Grant and the '30G' spinning in the air. We intended to say that tho picture represented the wish of th) peoplo, but did not dare to hope that the machine roally would go up. Tuesday night, however, the great blast occurred, and w» came out a fow hours later with our picture, which had been printing since Friday. We took big chances and won.

Tlio Independent Republicans of Pennsylvania were fortunate in having an opportunity to give thoir revolt a more direct and effective expression than by voting for the Democratic candidate or not voting at all. By massing their vote upon a candidate of their own choice they have been able to give fullest effect to the blow they have dealt Camerouism, and to put themselves in a position to claim dominant influence and authority in the work of the disenthralled and reorganized party.
