HE POLITICAL RACE IN NEW YoRK.-The New York Tribune has the following:
 The Hon. Greene c. Bronson we are in. formed, has re-considered his declension, and agreed to run for Governor He has assurances of Silver Gray's support, with prospect of a heavy lift from the Know-N othings, which may render him formidable candidate. Some ot his more sanguine friends are even counting on his election.
 Gov. Seymour is urged to take the Softnomi- nation, With promises of ample pecuniary and other backing from the liquor interest We tklnk he will not consent-the prospect is too hopeless-though he could, with the help of those obliged by his veto, poll more votes than any other Soft.

Great Britian and the Slave Trade

There has been further discussion in the Brit isn parliament on the subject of the Slave trade with Cuoa. It was stated that Espartero would give ont little assistance to Great Britain in this regard. Lorld John Russell stated that strong efforts had heretofore been made by Spain to suppress the trade, and he believed that those efforts would be increased under the now gov- ernment of the country. He said that vessels chartered by the British government for Bri- ush American ports should carry arms.

CONSUMPTION BAFFLED.-Since the days of Escuapius, medical men have striven in vain to conquer that arch enemy of mankind, consump- tion Dr. Aver of Lowell, Mass, has we have every reason to believe, succeeded in attaining this object, nearer than any predecessor or con- temporary. He calls his remedy Ayers Cher ry Pectoral, by which name it has been favora- ply known for many years in all parts of the world. It is recommended by numerous em- nent persons as the best remedy for diseases of the throat and lungs extant Aver recently received letter from Hon. Daniel Webster, in which that statesman speaks of the Pectoral in the highest terms and mentions that he is per sonally knowing to the usefulness of this article in both America and Europe.-Nea0 Fork Sum- day Times

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUEsTIoN.-Grund writers from Washington to the Baltimore Sun, as follows:
 England, it is understood, is quite willing to crawl out of the Central American question, and the present San Juan de Nicaragua affair will probably hasten her spead. The settlement of the territory by Americans will yet be the mez- 20. te,mine on which all parties may agree. One ofthe most successful maneuvres in diplo- macy consists in doing the thing you are treat ing for. and then change the stand point of your argument by treating the question as tait ac- compH. This is the way England acted after the bombardment of Copenhagen. That is the way she acted after the bonn mbardment of Saint Jean d'Acre etc, etc. How rejoiced she must be to find that are tahing qtter her.

irg this dry season many inquiries have been
made in regard TO the quantity OF rain fallen
as compared with former Yeas. On refer
ence to the records OF the rain guage kept at
w altman, find that during the last 81 years
the whole quantity of tain that has fallen
during the summer months-Junc, July, and
the % first days Of AugustAamoun,s to 2S1
42-IOo inches, which gives 9 % 100 as the
average for these two months and twenty
two days.
The quantity fallen this year during the
same period is but 5I-loO inches, which is
less than one-half the average quantity
The largest amount was in 1913, when
there were ii IL 100 inches. The smallest
quantity previous TO this year was in 1881
which was B rs 100, which is 24-lOO inch
es more than for this present season.

FIRE IN AsuEs.-A correspondent of the
Chicago Democratic Press says that in bin
where he stored ashes, every layer being wet
ted as depsoited, he found the bottom of the
heap one suriace of fire, after period of two
years had elapsed since they were deposited.
The bin contained some two hundred BUSH
els and the top of the heap, deposited eigh-
teen months, was wet. There is evidently
some unknown application of the laws relat-
ing to caioric here to be discovered.
