For the Chronicle.
To "Many Friends" "Eurydicc- and
Others.

After having received so many
flattering Testimonials Of merit at
your hands, as a chronicler of truth,
and being urgently solicited to make
my appearance again in print, l can
not be so deaf to the calls of appre-
citation, and 80 devoid of the common
interests of humanity, as not to re-
spond favorably, even though 1t be
with full conviction of my own I'M
worthiness as a writer, and having
no private aspirations to subserve In
the literary arena.
1t is true, that If, by any feeble eff

solitude, even in the. centre of the
Great Mississippi Valley; a story
fraught with horror; the more har.

SCHOOL TAX.-In reference to the
School tax, levied by the last County
Court, we learn much dissatisfaction
is felt, and we believed it to be well
founded until we heard the explana-
ton. 1t seems that such is the char
acter of the Common School law that
If the fund be not raised by the
county, it will be by the State, in
which case, the county instead of
having the benefit of all the tax it
pays, will get only pro rata of the
general State fund. If this be the
case, it is better that we tax ourselves
and appropriate the fund to our own
use, than share it with the State ut
large.
We have not seen the law, but give
the explanation rs it has been given
to us. And whether the people shall
have good cause, hereafter to COM
plain of the tax, must depend upon
the profit, or loss that may accrue
from the judicious, or injudicious APP
plication Of the money by the School
Commissioners. We confess to a
want Of faith in a system that rests
more upon theory that practical re-
sults-a system far too complicated
in details to suit the business habits
of our people, accustomed as they
are to let things take their own
course, when once set in motion.

IlI-feeiing between France and Eng
land.


NEW YORK, July 19.-The Tri-
6uae's London special, this morning,
says private letters from Paris repre-
sent the prospect of serious trouble
between France and England. The
Government is furious at the tone OF
the English papers, and threaten to
refuse all applications from English
men for army passes.
English sympathy with Prussia.
Certain members of the House of
Commons held a meeting yesterday
to consider the propriety of holding
large gatherings to express sympathy
with Prussia. Prominent members
have written letters opposing the pro
ject. The workingmen propose hold
| ing similar meeting. The feeling in
London against France is intense, and
the universal belief is that the troops
recently called home from the Eng
lish colonies have been, concentrated
in anticipation of the present war.
Great Britain has now at home de-
pots ninety five thousand troops, and
can muster about three hundred
thousand. Great activity in the
navy. 1t is reported that secret in
structions had been given to Frencl,
offices thattroops shall divide all land
they conquer.
The German press Is filled with
seemingly unaffected complaint ofthe
falsehood and trickery by which
France seeks to place the responsible
! lty of the beginning of the war on
Germany.
LONDON, July 10.-The report that
! Earl Granville has demonstrated
with Prussia Is denied.
I The Times this morning abandons
all hope of meditation, and says the
sword must now decide.

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

since our last issue, war mas Deon
inaugurated between Trance and
Prussia. The war is not without a
pretext, but certainly without any
adequate cause, as yet assigned by
France. n will be fortunate for Eu-
rope If 1t can be restricted to the orig

plieations of European politics, and
so huddled together are its national
tiles, that 1t seems probable that two
of the greatest among them can go
to war without embroiling Others.
The preservation of the balance OF
power Is the most dangerous of the
many complications; and it is proba-

of Prussia, this the true cause of the
war now raging between that power
and France. Our views of the cause

Curious Astronomical Observation.

The folIosiDg published in the Elmira Ad' usrtissr, is from the pen of Professor J. D. Steele
 There appeared in the Advertiser so me time since a paragrsp ph-cOpied, we believe, from Michigan paper-deearing that column of magnetic hght i3 shooting out from tb. sun at prodlgioOs speed; that it already reacbe, hall way to the earth, and that in all probability by another sumner wa shall have celestial and atmospheric phenomena be- aide which our rudest winter winds will seem like June morning in Paradise" In fine that when ,his big tongue of fire touches the earth, it will lap up oar globe at a mouthfn- Very many have made inquiries of nc con- corning this prodigy. and, with your leave, will try to satisfy their curiosity, and per haps aIlay their fears.
 It has been known for some time that du- ring a totol eclipse, red flames were seen to play about the edge of the moon. Daring the eclipse of 1860 and 1869, it was definitely settled that they were entirely disconnected from the moon, and form vast tongues of fire starting out from the suns disc By Ob- seryatons with the spectroscope and also by neans of the wonderful photographs of the sun taken by De La Rue during the eclipse of 1860, it was discovered that these fire mountains consisted mainly of burning hy- drogen gas. Ibis was precious information to secure in the midst of tic excitement, and novelty and in the brief duration of total eclipse It did not, however satisfy scientific men. For two years Mr. DOckyar, aided by g grant from Parliament to construct a superior instrument, had been experimenting and searching in order to detect these flames at other times than at the rare occurrence of total eclipse. On the 18th of October, 1868, he obtained distinct image of one of the prominsnces, which he afterwards traced en- tirely around the sun Astronomers can, there fore. now study these flames at any time.
 The result of observation now being taken show that storms rage upon the sun with vi- olence of which, we can form no conception. Hnrricancs'sveep over its surface with terrific violence. Vast cyclones wrap is fires into whirlpools, at he bottom of witch our earth would e lihe boulder in volcano. Huge flames dart ont to enormous dis,ancsa, and Ay over the sun w,h a grsater speed than that Of earth itself through space. At one time core of fire shone out 8O,000 miles, and then died away, all in ten minutes time Besides such awful convulsions, the mimic display of a ter restral volcano or earthquake sinks into ill., significance.
 There is nothing in these phenomena to alarm us. They have, in all probability, hap peeed constantly for ages past. That we have not means for inyesti gating their nature and measuring their height and velocity, furnishes no cause for anxiety. Rumors of these discov- e-ies have erept into the papers, and exagger- s'ed by repeated copging and sensational addi- lions, huve given rise to these mysterious and uncailsd-for predictions
