THE San Francisco SICK HrrGid gives
n rather amusing account Of how Z. +.
Kennedy, member Of the California
Board, broke the stock market last
Friday Owing to several tusSels with
John Barleycorn during the morning,
the highly elated member, upon the
opening Of the session, commenced sell
ing California, ophir and Mexican by
the hundred shares. Almost every
member of the Board, became purchas-
CTS at their own figures, which resulted.
Of curse, in knocking thr bottom out of
the entire market. When the Board
odjourncd his transactions had amount
ed to over quarter Of million dollars,
End not n share Of the stock sold, his
OWE. In some instances hc sold TN en-
tire mine two or three times over.
When he arrived at his Office on the fol-
lowing morning and oplers came pouring
in for the stock he had sold, he KIN.
that be had hopelcssly ruined himself.
The market outside Of his sales had not
been affected. md opened strong and
active. kennedy's conduct became the
subject N an action by the Board,
through which the facctious member was
expelled, and his seat sold for the bcuc-
fit Of his creditors. After nearly uu
hours debate motion was adopted. by
which a resolution was accepted, to the
effect that the rules of the Board should
not apply to transactions between men,
bers since the 2Sih Of last August. The
Chairman then proceeded to sell the
stocks which Kennedy had sold and
failed to deliver. In every instance the
stock was SOLD at the ruling market
price By the broker who bought it from
Kennedy, and the Chairman became the
nominal purchaser. The difference be-
tween the price paid by the broker and
the figures realized by the Chairman is
the amount which Mr.. Kennedy owes,
and which the entire possessions of n
millionaire would be inadequate to
liquidnte.

IT seems hnrd and unjust that
through the fault OF careless or criIni-

ness OF Governor, a bill should fail 10

which the Supreme Court prevented by

power to remedy tho evil by vetoiug the
measure, and then its friends, after re-
considering it twice, finally passed it,
with all its faults over his head. No
ono Is to blame for that fatal mistake,
save the engineers OF the bill, who were
10 blinded with rngo at tho idea of it's
being vetoed, TINT they cnrelcssly let it

THE PRESENT CROP.

Reports from the various agricultural
districts in the county are much more
favorable than was anticipated. Not
withstanding the extremely dry season
just past, the grain crop will be full up
to the average yield. with the exception
of few places i'll Independence Valley
where the young grain was almst totally
destroyed by crickets, and other locali-
ties which were slightly damaged by
rabbits. The ranchcrs IRE about nil
through cutting, and many have already
finished threshing. Fears were gener-
ally entertained that owing to the small
supply OF wnter grain would not mature
and fill, but since the harvest these
forebodings have been dispellcd and IL
feeling Of buoyuncy is pervadiug the
rnnching community i'll consequence.
The principal reason for the improved
yield is found III tho fact that the water
furnished has been more jutliciOusly
used, aud experience is teaching that
when applied properly and ut the right
time great deal less will serve the pur-
pose Of irrigation thnn has been gener-
ally supposed. 1t is becoming more
evident cnch year, through practical ca
perience and intelligent experiment, that
with careful management, good crops
can be grown i'll this country, even with
the supply of water unusually short,
and when this fact shall havc been fully
established, ~ it will be, the induce
ment to engage in agricultural pursuits
will DO enhanced, mud the value OF
farming lands proportionately increased.

The fast mail train, on the northern
rontc via. New York Central and SIichi-
gan Central, started this morning for
Chicago. The train consists of four
postal cars-the Governor Dix, Govern
or Norson, Governor Tildcn and Gov
ernor Lend-having on board thirty
tons of mail matter, the palace car
Duchess, carrying the invited guests,
and engine No. 80, made famous by the
New Hamburg Creek disaster. The
trIin left New York with but few distin-
Guished passengers on board, it being
too carly i'll the morning for distin-
guishcd people to get up, SO We were
forced to be content with people no more
iilnstrious than lot Of newspaper men
and railroad and postoffice officinls.
Hon. Geo. S. Bangs was the most con-
spicuous person on board. Before
starting everyone was discussing the
probability Of getting through to Albany
alive Us the road from New York to Al
bany is considered the most dangerous
part OF the route. But the Railroad
Company tonk every precaution, the
track men being out all night scrutiniz-
ing the rails. 1t wouid not do to havc
the first fast mail train plunge into the
Hudson river. We were making fifty
miles an hour and mt day break We
reached Sing Sing. Al D O'Clock, whel,
the sun arose over tho hills, the first 81
miles had been made in 10 minutes
West Point, 81 miles, was passed in GO
minutes. We reached Pokecpsic, stop,
ped three minutes, and changed engines.
We also stopped five minutes ut Hud-
son. Our average speed so far WAS A.
miles IN hour, aud we did not miss
mail. Arrived at Albany at 7 80, five
minutes ahead of time. Stopped ten
minutes and then were Off again. Vice
President Wilson got aboard at this
place. Cheering crowds met lis at every
station. We ran to Utica in two hours
and ten minutes, arriving there at 10
| O'Clock. Vice President Wilson here
left the train and came near being killed
by being knocked OF when lenying it.
The mails nre working beautifully. We
arc now among the Bourbons. The

postal clerks and engine. We were de
