The WHEAT CRoP.-The San Joa-

quin Republican, May nth, says:
Six weeks ago it was believed by
many that the yield of wheat this sea
son would equal, at least, half of an
ordinary crop. Since that time how
ever everything mas been against the
agricultural interests. The drought
has been even greater than was an
ticipated, and now to estimate the
total wheat yield at One-fourth of a
crop would probably be placing the
figures something too high. Careful
and observant wheat dealers estimate
the total yield of the State last year at
1900, 900 bushels. This was called a
halt crop. This season, il is believed,
the entire crop will not foot up over
10. 200 bushels, and it may fall be-
low 5000. 900, or but little more than
half a yield of last year. If these cal
culations are approximately correctthe
wheat yield of this season will scarcely

the yield will equal that of an average

great wheat growing region of the
country, will not produce m bushel

foothills IN the eastern side of the
valley have the farmers a promise of
grain. Out i'm the valley moi a green

mEmPHEs STREET TALTIERs.

Twoof the greatest ~colloquists of this or
sny other country collided at the Pea
body, when hon. Emmerson Etheridge
and DR.. Rivers, of Panels, met. There
was not a word spoken by any other
guest during the two dsys that these
ouiet gentlemen were hobnohbing and
occasionally nodding sab sile'riO y at one
another. Memphis has been the abiding
place of the greatest c0nytrsstionslists
the world has known, since DR.. Johnson,
Burke, Sheridan, Steele, Addison and
Reynolds frequented the club-houses OF
London. Jere. Clemens was q wonderful
tslker. Tom Marshall exhausted his ge-
MUS for street talk through months In
this city, when Henry s.. Foote, Jere.
Clemens and Governor Jones SCARED,
Mcmahon philosophical, and w. 7. Has,
kell surpassed all men, living or dead, in
the matohless sublimity Of cesseless
bursts Of social e~loquence. These mar
vellous~ coIloquists drew Groves after them
and most tasteful, elegant gentlemen were
potdeemedi dlers, when business pursuits
were abandoned and they followed after
these fascinating conversstiouslists. Ed.
Yerger, when the freshness of youth lent
DIRE TO his genius, was a charming street
tslksr, and Fred P. Stanton, twenty
wears ago, was not so grave az now in
washington; and these two with Poney
Saunders, who, in his way, was socially
most attractive because Of curious wit
and fancy, made c%onvivisl parties of
twenty years ago in this city most de-
Iightful. OF those old masters of COLO
ouial eloquencs we were reminded by
Messrs. Etheridge and Rivers. In after
years some story teller will recur to the
social and intellectual worth Of these men
and msyhap invest their names with that
splendor which poets should weave in
fsdeless gsrlsnds TO twine about b ms
mories Of Haskell, Marshall, Jones, Yer
ger, Jere: Clemens, Mcmahon, and their
boon companions of the olden time.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ENGLISH.

-
r. T, English, who died yesterday
morning. was a Pennsylvania by BIRTH
was educated in that Stste, became after-
ward a citizen'ofIows, and in 1857 removed
TO Nstchez, Mississippi, where he resided
wben the war began. He raised an srtli-
lery in 1861 which he commsno-
al with great skill, and especially Wss II
distinguished for its g~sllsntry and that OF
its f~ssrlsss leader at Port Hudson When
that place was bssieged, Captain Enghsh
having been promoted to a Lieutenant
coIonelcv. commanded the most exposed
nasitiops and his inhexible courage cool
ness and skill was often the theme of CONF
mendstion, He afterwards spent many
months a prisoner on Johnson's Island,
sud there, when the fortituoe
of many failed, and men who mad
been admired most in active service, lost
courage snd caste, Colonel English was
most esteemed and beloved. The STEADY
7ntolersble friction to which patience and
fxedness of purpose snd stesdiness OF
nerves were subjected by the tedium Of
prison life only developed in his character
most admirable traits. There was not, OF
AL that brotherhood in misfortune ssingle
soldier who went away from the lake.
Rirt prison more beloved than the genial,
generous, patient, courageous Dick Eng
fish. We have seen letters from his COM
rsdes as full OF love and tenderness, in
terms applied TO him, as if they defined the
choicest womanly virtues. After this his
health was impaired and he Was employed
bv the Confederate authorities in the en-
forcement Of the conscript act. BE never
fsstered in the face of danger, orshunned
responsibility even when life was at stake.
He made the law his guide, and whether
it operated harshly upon friend or foe he
pursued rigidly the line of official duty.
His adventures in theprosecution of tasks
imposed by this Confederate law, were
often even marvellous, and his hair
breadth escapes from dangers that he
confronted, q very hero, were the theme
OF throughout the department
in which he served. He was incspacitated
by falling health for his duties 81 the
commercial editor Of the APPEAL, a place
he filed most successfully through four
wears, for weeks and months before he
abandoned it. His face and form, long
familiar on Front street, were less and
less frequently greeted by merchants,
each of when deemed Captain English a
personal friend, His step lost its elastic
isy, his face grew pale and disease came
slowly but surely. He was seen no more
on Front street, and everyday, for weeks,
those who loved the man were sccustom-
ed TO call at the APPEAL office and in
quire az 70 his condition. he visited wa
tsring places in vain, and a few weeks ago
returned 70 his home to breathe his last.
No parent has lost a nobler son than the
widowed, heart-broken mother Of Dick
English, and no woman has loved q son
more tenderly, and no son ever returned
this affection more generously. His fu-
neral services VIII be celebrated to-mor-
row morning IS announced in another
place.

THE EPISCOPAL RITUAL.

The report and recommendations on
church ritual, made by the committee OF
the house Of Bishops in the general con
vention of the Episcopal church, on Sat
urdsy last, is attracting very general in
terest. It does not, as was imagined, set
tie the great questions Of difference
between the high and low church parties,
It only recommends the remission OF
these to ajoint committee of both houses
with whom it is more than likely to be
buried; for those who seem to b best in
formed as to the temper of the present
house say that the agitation of this ritual
istic question win result as all similar ag-
itations in previous conventions have
r~esulted-in doing nothing, and that the
great majority Of the convention are in
favor OF allowing the largest latitude for
the exercise Of liberty in rituslistic mat
tsrs in the church consistent with a strict
adherence 20 the prayer-book, which en-
bodies the faith and worship of the
church.
