1POLLO M1CUL4TU.S.

Sweltering people who are also curious, and
who like 10 comprehend " the causatiOn of
"causes in the causes of things" will be
pleased to learn that the reprehensibly hot
weather of the present Summer is entirely
owing to Sun-SpOts. Our great llmlnary, IN
addition to his usual feyerish complexion, has
broken out with a sort OF black measles
scientific writer in The Chicago Tribune some
time ago predicted that the force OF the solar
rays would be greatly diminished by these
spots, and people prepared for that greatest OF
all delicacies in the season, cool GUNNER
Now, coming away indignant from the 1nspec-
ton of their thermometers, men are, IN all
parts of the land, demanding OF the Chicago
seer some sort of explanation; and, like all
doctors of science, he has one all ready In his
desk.
The solution of the mystery appears to be
this: AS sure as eggs are eggs, the presence
of sun-spots this year causes an average reduc-
ton of about % Fahr in the amount of heat
supplied by the sun to the earth. This is an
irrefragible fact cooling to consider whenever
we are in a state of exasperated temperature.
But, mark you if you have diminished tenn
perature, you have also a diminished evapo-
ration from the ocean, and therefore you Will
have lessened rainfall on land Now,
two-fifths of all the heat received by the
earth from the sun is carried off by evapo-
ration But with a diminished rainfall,
very little caloric is carried off in this way.
That is, having once got hot, the ground and
lower strata of the atmosphere keep hot.
Hence, there will be much greater degree of
sensible heat, and this, paradoxical as it may
appear, because the supply has been really
lessened.
After reading this neat and sensible expla-
nation, we felt it to be a duty which we owed
to the eternal laws of nature to revise our
Impressions, and to ask ourselves if we had
been really half-rOasted as we supposed. But
we cannot tell falsehood, even to accommo-
date the Universe. We have been (nOt to put
too fine point upon iD extremely warm. 1t
appears, however, that this was only sensible
warmth. Very sensible, as we can from per-
sona experience affirm. Science must be allowed
to stand stfiiy by her theory; but with the
mercury marking 9G' in the shade, it makes
very little difference to us whether the heat
be sensible or insensible.

Yorkto IN, one of the best purefy agricul-
tural townships in Westminster County, shows
a gain of only So inhabitants since 1860. This
result VIII be paralleled in the average
throughout the strictly rural portion of our
whole State. Our gain of population, whether
it prove nearer one million or haif a million,
will be found almost wholly confined to our
cities and villages.
This result does not necessarily imply de-
cay of agriculture; for in the first place, our
State has. experienced during the last ten years
an imme expansion of her dairy production;
and dairy farming employs fewer hands to the
square mile Then the numbering and land
clearing which had steadily employed many
thousands of stalwart men throughout the
half century preceding 1860, had very nearly
ceased at that date, so far as cur State is con-
cened. Speaking generally, we may say that
the age of land-clearing ceased with us IN
1860, while that of understanding and SUBJ
soiling has scarcely begun in 1870. We trust
that the day of more thoroagh scientific and
productive agriculture is BOW dawning; and
thai the census of 1880 viii report a larger
proportion Of the people of New-York engaged
IA the cultivation of the soil.

IF Gen. Prim survives the failure of his last
effort at King making, he has greater influ-
ence with his people than we have credited
him with. He has merely furnished Napoleon
with an excuse for plunging France into
war into which it will be strange if Spain is
not eventually dragged to her ruin. Already
we have been told that Prim would be forced
to resign his position as the head
of the Ministry, and his probable
successor has been named. The latest
prOpOsition-to invest Regent SerranO
with royal power for three years-is supposed
to be unfavorable to PRINTS concealed de-
signs of making himself King The PROPOSE
ton is at least an intrigue started by the Op-
ponents of Prim. 1t is natural to imagine
that between weak old man like the Regent
and vigorous young Republic such as was
conceived two years ago, the Spaniards would
not hesitate long to choose. But the SpaniaTds
of to-day are not those of the Revolution nor
are the principles which they now proclaim
those which carried them to success in that
uprising They have so long been victims of
intrigue that they are powerless any longer to
oppose intrigue. Prim may go down tO-mOr-
row, as for the sake of Spain we hope he may
but alas as we fear for the good of Spain, it
will be only that some other less bold, per-
haps, but not less base, may rise in his place,
Unfortunately there is little hope of Castel-
lar coming to power in Spain at this time.

A few Congressman enter lusty protests
against our record of their doings and mis-
doings as published last Thursday. They
don't see how they could have missed so many
roll-calls as are recorded against them, and
some of them deny that they could possibly
have been absent from Congress so many
days AS we have elsewhere said, their quar-
rel is not with us, but with the official records
of the House. We presume, however that
they are correct in stating that they have not
been absent from Congress on several occa-
sions when the roll would indicate that they
have been. The dreary debates have had
the effect not only of driving auditors
out of the galleries but members away from
the floor. We shall be glad if the publication
of this record now and for subsequent ses-
siOns should prove to have salutary effect in
breaking up this bad practice. Let us keep
Representatives in their seats, and perhaps we
may have, by and by, such public sentiment
in Congress as shall peremptorily stop the
waste of time in buncOmbe speeches and
meaningless rOll-calls. If we can force mem
bers of Congress to attend in their places,
perhaps their restveness under the infection
may secure the prompter transaction of bust
ness, and an expression of opinion among
members which shall prevent idle discussion.

We beg leave to remind our citizens
interested in keeping an underground railroad
out of Broadway, that their permanent sue
cess depends entirely on the seasonable con-
struction of such railroad elsewhere than in
Broadway. They can easily OverbeG the score
or two of spectators who want to make money
ont of an underground railroad bat they can
not much longer resist the half million Of peo-
pie, living between One-hundreth- st. and Lake
Mahopac, who want and urgently need to be
transported from Wall-st. or the City Hall
Park to Mott Haven inside of twenty minutes.
And even if they could resist the half million
who now make this demand, they would be
overbOrne by the whole million who VIII make
it within the next few years. Wherefore,
friends on Broadway please not to trihe with
this daily augmenting demand by any sham
or make believe, but push ON the underground
railroad already chartered, with earnestness
and yigOr
