Thn ii pake the melancholy Dane, and there Is no
record that the thermometer In the court-yard at
Klslnore marked more than 80 degrees in the shade,
as he spoke. It Is well for Hamlet that the grave
digger philosophized over his bones some centuries
ago. If he had been In the flesh in the month of
June, Anno Domini 1870, he would have emphasised
his lamentable prayer for dissolution by achieving
Its literal fulfilment. In short, the mean tempera
ture of the month which has Just closed, according
to the very reliable records kept at the Pennsylvania
Hospital by Dr. John Uonrad," was 77-88 degrees,
which is greater by more than one-third of a degree
than the highest point attained as the mean tem
perature of the corresponding month In any year
since 1790. In the following table are given the
maximum and minimum standing of the thermo
meter at the hospital for each day of the month, as
compared with June, 1368:

This showing, as already stated, gives a mean
temperature of 77-3J degrees, the veritable highest
mean point attained by the mercury during the
month of June since the year 1790,- which Is the ear
liest date to which any accessible records in this
locality extend. The hottest Junes previously
known, according to tue records of the Pennsylva
nia Hospital, were those of 1831, when the mean
temperature was 77 degrees, and 1828, when the
Siiine mean was attained.
The highest point attained by the thermometer
during the mouth which has just ciosed was 95-5
degrees, which occurred on Tuesday, the 2Sth ; but
on three other days Saturday the 25th, Huuday the
26th, and Wednesday the 29th the thermometer
marked 95 degrees, and since the 18th it has every
day mounted to the neighborhood of 90, or soared
above It, with the exceptions of the 21st and 22d, on
which the highest points attained were 79 and 79-5
degrees respectively. The warmest and most In
tolerable days of the - month, however, were Sun
day, the 2titli, and Wednesday, the 29th, the standing
of the thermometer on these two days being as
follows:

June 29 89
On the 28th, when 95-5 degrees were marked, the
lowest point reached was 76 degrees, giving a range
of 19-6 degrees. The lowest point attained during
the month was 61 degrees, which was reached on
the 1st, thus showing a range during the month of
34-5 degrees. The highest point attained in June,
1869, was 92 degrees, on the 20th; the lowest, 54
degrees, on the 9th ; the mean temnerature of the
month being 73 62 degiees, and the range 89 de
grees. The average of the mean temperature of the
month from 1790 to 1869 inclusive was 71-02 degrees,
only two degrees below the mean of June, 1S09, but
6-73 degrees below that of June, 1870. The average
of the mean temperature or the month since 125
has been 71-53 degrees, which varies but little from
that of the longer period.
To enable our readers to; appreciate fully the ex
tremity of heat in which they have been sweltering
for nearly two weeks, we present the following table,
which gives the mean temperature, together with
the highest and lowest points reached, In the month
or J one lor twenty years past:

These figures give us a little satisfaction.
ItTvlll
be noticed that during the month of Jane, 194, the
thermometer at the Hospital on one occasion rose
to 99 degrees 4 -5 degrees above the highest point of
last month, the lowest point reached during the
same month being 64-6 degrees. This day June 26,
1864 was probably the hottest June day ever expe
rienced in this city, the standln g of the thermometer,
as compared with the three warmest day of last
month, having been as rouows:

June 29,1870.89
Yet the mean temperature of June, 1864, was
only 72 degrees 635 degrees below that of last
month. Another exceedingly hot June was that of
1865, with a mean of 76-73 degrees and a range of
29 degrees, between 93 and 64. This was, taken alto
gether, the hottest June during the past twenty
years, with the exception of tliac of the present
year. Almost equal to it, however, was the June of
1858, with a mean of 7519 degrees, and a range of 40
degrees, between 94 and 64. During the last thir
teen days of that month, the thermometer every day
attained the neighborhood of 90 degrees, going fre
quently above It. and giving a continuous spell of
hot weather almost equal to that with which June of
1870 closed.
To turn from these sweltering figures to those
representing tbe temperature of the past six months,
we have the following comparison with the corres
ponding months of 1869:

From this it is seen that the month of March fell
121 degrees below the -average of the means, but in
everv other month of the year thns far the mean
temperature has been above the average, in Janu
ary, when it exceeded It by nearly ten degrees,
being even more noticeably so than In the last
mourn oi tue nan year.
Tbe quantity of rain which fell during the month
was unusually small, being 9866 inches. The rain

The decrease of 2107 in the number of arrests
made dnrlng the past six months, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year, needs some
commentary, but whether it Is an indication of a de
crease of crlms. in consequence of an Increase in
the efficiency of the lorce, or a sign of inetllclency
on their part, is a matter of doubt.
nnn a large proportion or tne arrests maae are
for trivial offenses, such as drunken and disorderly
conduct, that the statistics are almost valueless
when applied to the higher grade of crimes.

The House then, at 12-40, resumed the considera

On motion of Mr. Schenck the fourth section was
amended by striking out the words, ''In the order
of their numbers and issue, beginning with the ilrst
numbered and Issued."
Mr. llolman moved to amend the fourth, sec
tion by providing that the five-twenty- bond 9 shall be
paid in greenbacks, and made an argument in sup
port ot his amendment.
Mr. Schenck replied to him, and argued that all
that question had been finally and conclusively set
tied by the passage of the act of the present Con
press to strengthen tbe public credit, which declared
the faith of tbe United States solemnly pledged to
the payment in coin or its equivalent of all the obli
gations of the United t-tates not bearing interest, aud
of all obligations bearing interest, except in cases
where the law authorizing the issue had expressly
provided that the same might be paid in lawful
money.
He declared that the worst, the meanest, the foul
est ef all possible repudiations would be now for
tbe Forty-tirst Congress to Ignore aud trample upou
its own very first act of legislation.
Mr. Woodward asked Mr. Scheiick whether, if the
judgment of the court should be that under the act
of 186-2, the five-twenty bonds were payable iu
greenbacks, he would not admit that the act to
strengthen the public credit did not save them ?
Mr. Schenck said he admitted no such thing. If
he admitted (as he did not) that there ever had been
any doubt on the subject, he still contended that the
I ul'ed Stales were estopped by the act of the 18th
of March, 1809. by which all claim or right to raise
a question on that point was waived.
