The only thing left Of the Fenian raid is
dispute between the United States Gov
eminent and the local authorities Of New
York and Vermont, as to which Of them
shall pay for transporting the heroes of the
I. r. A. back to their homes. We suggest,
rs happy way out OF this difficulty, that the
expenses be assessed upon Ta1nmanJ Hall,
and that the Sachems Of Tammany take the
money out Of the treasury Of the fErie
Railway. The railway is owned by Eng
Ishmen, and operated by Tammany, nnd,
as the Irish voters enable Ta1nmany to
keep possession of Erie, nothing could be
fairer than to appropriate portion OF the

Philadelphia newspaper, with that keen
sarcasm and biting irony which distin-
gulshes Philadelphia newspapers, saya that
ar. George Alfred Townsend WIS educated
at pu6he expense at the PhladeIphia High
School, and that he is now abusing his ben
efactors BY writing free trade letters for
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE The fable of the
viper warmed on the farmers hearth would
come in appropriately at this place, but the
Philadelphia newspaper seems not to have
remembered that happy illustration Of rep-
tile ingzatitude.
Whether 11t. Townsend WIS eancoYad at
public expense or not, We do not know.
The theory Of our government is that all
children are to be educated ut pub
lie expense. The MIN Of the
principal cities of the North.
ern States Roston, Chicago, Cinciu-
natl, and San Francisco We Gull to mind
particularly, is to make their High Schools,
where children are educated at public e1-
pense, SO good TINT parents shall prefer to
send them there, rather than to private
schools. If this il the Tin Of rhiladel-
phia, it is creditab1e to her, but is not
distinguishing feature of her civilization,
because she only keeps pace with her sister
citiea. Perhaps the journals Of no other
city would be surprised to find that boy
educated OF their High School should be
able to perceive thas mutual robbery is
hindrance to national progress, and should
have the capacity to teach other people the
same lesson.
But there is one other thing which ex-
cites the surprise Of this Philadelphia news
paper, and that is that Mr.. Townsend re-
ceived his training as q journalist iE o Phil
adelphia newspaper Office. This is equally
q surprise to Us. That the city whose most
distinguished md influential journalist is
Foney, the proprietor oe two papers, both
daily, should have trained anybody compe-
tent to write for q. Chicago newspaper is
truly mystery.

Assuming that We receive heat, as light,
only from the bright portions Of the solar sur
! face, the nboyo figures give uB the following
ratio: Suns hehting aud Illuminating power,
when free from spots, 100; do on Saturday
last, 129; and the proportion holds nearly for
| the last half OF the month, az the spots have
| been visible for some time past, though not
exactly as NOW. II VIC accept the estimate Of
Sir John Hersclel, that the absolute zero Of
| heat il 939 degrees below the zero Of tho
Fahrenheit scale, the mean temperature Of
May at Chic.go (Loomis) being 5G.3 degrees,
NC shall have 295 degrees As tho average sup
/ ply to Chicago in May. The 130th part Of this

the paat fortnight has been fully that much
below tho average Of past SEASONS.
There is scarcely roum to doubt that We havo
! in the phenomenon Of the Sun spots tho real
cause OF tho recent reduction in temperature,
| though not a gauge OF its true amouns, be-
eauso variations from the average 1t any par
ticular place are produced by tho operation Of
other and moro local causes- But We shall be
prepared to find that subsequent tally OF OBJ
seryations of the thermometer will show an
appreciable depression below tho average
Of the whole globe. It will probably not be
quite 30 much ss ~, Il, because recent inquiries
indicate that Herschol placed his absolute
zero too low, and it is also probable that some
