1t appears to be practically settled
now that there wilibe but two tickets
in the field in Marion county in the
ensuing political campaign. The
Democracy will have no choice but
between the Grange ticket and the
Republican ticket, unless they fail to
get the lions share on the former.
In such an event they might split
and -aslAses ssass~esf thcnr-ouitsthe
Republican portion of the Grange
ticket and nominate a fractional
Democratic ticket. 1t is very diff
cult to predict any definite results OF
the conventions or of the cam
paign in general as to the
county. 1t is safe to conclude
however that the contest will
be more between men than be-
tween parties, as there are no great
fundamental principles at issue, or
at least none upon which parties ma
terially differ. More than ever be-
fore, each man upon each ticket must
stand upon his own merits.
1t seems probable that the Repub-
lican convention will be called to
meet at about the usual time, late in
August or early in September. AS
to the candidates whom it will pre-
sent hardly guess can now be Ven
tured.

newspaper collections, amounting to twenty
five dollars, few months before his death
in 1854. He sat silent. in a miserable
room near St. Johns square--an elderly
gentleman in an extremely shabby suit Of
black, with pallid, expressionless face.
l explained to him the object of my visit
and handed him the money. He gazed
vacantly at it, but did not hold out his
hand to take it, and evidently had not

money so that it would be expended fol

TREES AND RAINFALL.--At scien-
tiic discussion in England, gentleman
from Santa Cruz, West Indies, said that
twenty years ago that island was rich
and ever-blooming garden. Forests adorn-
ed the hills, trees were clustered freely
over the plains, and rains were never want
ing for the abundant production The
island is twenty-five miles long, and the
soil is all fertile. Now the hills are bare
and the trees of the plain have been
mostly cut down. Continuous drouths
have desolated one-third Of the island, and
year by year desolation advances. Soon
the whole island is doomed to become
desert. Official papers agree in attributing
this scourge to the reckless waste Of tim
Der and the neglect to replant the forests.

SUPERSEDED.
Kenyon, Cox * Co., bankers and broE-
ers ia Wall street, suspended to-day.
Daniel Drew was special partner in the
house. it 10 said, and rumor has it that the
difficulties of the firm were caused by OPP
erations in the interest of Drew.
The stock business of Kenyon, Cox &
Co., was not the cause of the suspension,
as they were carrying very few stocks
compared to their usual compliment.
Only $500 share ere sold out under rule
to-day, and of this Lake Shore sold at
9l@9ltc. The real trouble has been
largo advances to the Canada Southern
railroad, some oil which advances are now
beginning TO fall due. Messrs. Kenyon,
Cox, Daniel Drew and others, it is under
stood, loaned their paper to assis.
In completing tho road, trusting to
further negotiations of bonds at London.
Last Monday advicss wero received from
London stating that it was impossible, at
present, tito negoste more bonds,and con-
sultation WAS held by parties in tho inter
est OF tho Canada Southern, and Kenyon,
Cox & Co. resolved to suspend. The de-.
cline in Wabash this afternoon was based
on the supposition that that firm and its
friends were large holders of the stock,
but it appears that they have been reliev-

and hence there was, comparatively
speaking, but very little stock sold
