ENOUGH OF GRANT.

The president has been quietly smok-
ing his third term cigar, and putting
but little smoke, only just enough for
the world to see that It was lit, with
out making the smoke offensive. Con-
gress meets, and he knocks the ashes
of of 1t, and there Is the fire of his pur-
pose visible in the Arkansas sonier-
sault, the caucus bill, the scheme TO
pay the army for two years, the en-
couragement Of Kellogg and other am
bilious deviltries, which smack strong
ly ola disposition to provoke strife, In
order to have an excused not only for
interference, but downright usurpa-
ton, by a forcible attempt to hold over
as president. All the troubles in The
south have been brought about simply
to.eontrol, ifpossible, the electoral votes
ofas many OF the southern states as
possible. Such au auJacious piece of
ambition would never be tried on,

bar, gives an account Of . forest Of gum
copAl trees standing a little back from
the coast and away from the town. The
name given TO thcee trees by the natives
Is Kts SnndasGss. bat they are probably q
species of Hyyasnna, OF natural order
Seczmen1ae ito which the peas and To-
cust-.rees bciongl. The trees are OF gi-
gantic size, on the average measuring
sixty feet In height after the upper
branches were Topped off; four feet three
inches In circumference al the base and
two feet ten inches at the lowest branch,
twenty-one feet from the ground. The
gum is found in liquid state, deposited
between the bark and the wood. Wher-
ever the tree happens 10 be injured there
the gum collects in considerable Quanti-
ties. 1t was also seen by Capt. Elton, in
several instances, on the upper side of
the branches. In one case deposit was
found at the foot Of q tree where de-
cayed branch had fallen. From this it
seemed probable that where the trees
hsve fallen to pieces from old age large
quantities of the gum may be found
buried.
Hosts of insects feed upon the Mi
Sandarra In one branch a family of
ants had established a large nest behind
q wall Of the gum and were rapidly eat
ing to the heart of the wood, while le-
gions of wood-lice had found their way
within the bark to the resinous deposit.
Capt Elton came to the conclusion that
the rayages of these swarms OF insects
lead TO the slow but sure destruction of
the trees. When a tree has fallen few
years suffice to bury it under the shift
ing sands which cover the sienna-coloreG
subsoil. The slaves accompanying Capt.
Elton stated that one could travel two
days toward the interior before leaving
the copal trees; but, at the rate at which
the clearing progresses, it will not be
long ere the entire forest will be cut
down.
Gum-copal trees are found in Mexico,
Brazil, Madagascar and India. The res
in is said to have been originally brought
from MEXICO
