A TOUCHING INCIDENT.-We make
the following extract from the report Of
the proceedings Of the Irish Americans
of Chicago, on decoration day:
When the grave of soldier was ap
preached, the column halted. the name
OF the occupant was read by Colonel
Stewart, and the companies presented
arms. Occasionally, where one was
needed, bouquet was deposited. A
little mound, which was pointod out as
the resting place. of Conicderlte cap

Douglas, was decorated with nothing
but fresh, green grass. The spectators
thought it would be past in silence, but

MORE NEWS OF FOREGGNHARvEsT
FAILURES.
Prom the New York Bullet

From the New York Bulletin.
The news of crop failures in the Old
World grows worse and worse. In add
ton 10 the failure Of the wheat harvest In
South Germany snd Hungary, published In
the Bulletin q few days ago, we now have
information from Turkey. The govern
ment of that country, owing to short crops,
has found it necessary to issue decree
prohibiting the expectation of corn until
further orders. This closes the porss OF
Amasia (Natolia) to the Italian people,
whose grain crops are also deficient, snd
who expected TO receive supplies from the
Turkish provinces. - -. la.ssu
And now the hondon Times publishes q
letter from another eminent grain statisti-
clan, j. B. Lawes, proving by facts and fig
ures that the grain yield in England is less
than was supposed and that the country
viii require no less than 100000 quar-
ters (104, 000, 900 bushels) of foreign bread
stuffs during the present year. Thi, is
about sixteen million bushels more than the
highest estimated deficiency. This new es-
tiuate is important as allowing that the
unfavogable accounts of the English harvest
have been in no respect exaggerated, and
that the prospects are, If anything, worse
ttan were represented.
Taken altogether, the outlook in Europe
Is very gloomy, so far as relates to food
supplies for the year. The wheat harvest
has been deficient in almost every country,
and although there may not be downright
famine in any, yet scarcity and high prices
are likely to be the rule. Some of The rich
est wheat producing districts have not
raised sufficient to meet home demands,
and will be compelled to compete with the
usual grain importing countries for any
surplus that may be in the markets of the
world. The effects of this condition Of
affairs on general business are likely to be
unfavorable as cheap bread has 80 far in the
worlds history, been the invarisble accom-
panim,nt of prosperity.

TEXAS AND LOUISIANA.

Il is remarkable that the State which has
lost the most in wealth since the war, and
the one which has gained the most in CAPT.
tal and population, are found side by side
and with large surplus of rich wild land
in each. The population of Texas in 1860
was S18,579; now it is estimated at I,500,-
600, and is gaining rapidly by immigration.
Some millions Of collars have been expend-
ed by capitalists il New Orleans and plant
ers, 10 intro luce colored peorls from
Virginia aud other States, coolies from Cal
fornia and China, Europeans and others,
into Louisiana; yet land has deprecated to
one third or less Of its lcrmer value, and the
area uoder tillsge greatly reduced with
8 steady loss Of white population.
Will the State at the mouth Of the hlissis-
sippi be finally abandoned to the blacks
and become q second st. Domingo? The
New York company that made large pur-
chase in St. Domingo is not succeeding;
and the boundless natural resources Of
Louisiana, under negro domination, may
becone as barren as the jungles of Africa
under the domination of the same race.
Can this class of people develop enough Of
selcinterest and vision to p!aee their pub
lie affairs in the care of the best minds in the
South, regardless Of color? We fear not,
and if not, there will be an inevitable sepa-
ration ofracas, as both increase in numbers,
with the ultimate extinction Of the weaker
party.

AMONG the victims of the fever at Shreve-
port is Alfred Saville, who volunteered his
services at that dangerous post after every
resident operator had been stricken down.
His death is characteristic of his career, for
he was no other than the famous operator
attached TO the command of John FL. Nor
gan during the late war, the story of whose
practical and profitable jokes on the Fed
erals enliveaed the gloomy annals of those
times. His feaLs on the enemy's wires,
throwing large forces of Federal cavalry off
the scent, directing them to the right and
left, opening their lines for the dashing
Morgan to sweep through in quest of men
and horses, are among the most romantic
incidents of the war. Few have forgotten
how, early in the game, be took possession

For months past the question for silver
here In the city Of Nashville has been los
for half dollars and quarters. In New York
va believe the prem um for siIyer coinage
ranges q two to i've per cent below gold,
and the latter is to-day very weak at avery
lsR rae and likely % Esmain 80 Tor aouse
time to come. Last Friday geld touched
los In New York, The lowest figure since
1862. In view ofthesa facts The st. Louis
Rs,ublicm, thinks there ought TO be sIDo
question about our ability to get back to
silver change, a. least. Itwculd be "a small
step in the direction Of the main purpose,
and would be uniVers by acceptable to the
people. Silver is becoming cheap aud
abundant. II the government should call
in the s44, OO0, 900 fractional currency silver
change would easily come into circulation
to take Its place, and there beirg no currency
bills smsller than 81, the imperitlve necessi-
ty for small money IN everyday transac-
tons would be sufficient to keep II 10 circula
ton. The change would, be an agreeable
one; il would cost next to nothing and
would again familiarizs the people with a
coin that will have to be recognized sooner
or later, as the small money Of the country.
In this connection We may cits fact
noted IN tie editorial columns Of GRANTS
New York organ, the Times, of the 10th
inst:
Yesterday q gentleman offered q HUNDRED
silver dollars IN place of public resort for
$98 ia greeDbacks. He was glad to make
the exchange. of course this is an anon
alous state of things--it only shows that
coin is more plentiful than paper at this
moment, A good deal of silver has come
in from San Domingo and other ports,
while the quantity of greenbacks remains
at dead level. Clearly there is great OPP
portunity before the Secretary and Con-
gress.
The New York World Of the 18th states:
Before the panic silver was rated at a pre-
MUM of 81 per cent, but during the days
of the crisis individuals offered il 70 dealers
in large and small quantities for par, aud In
some instances az s fraction discount, for
currency. Yesterday Wall street frp
doing large business in the purchase and
sale of gold and silver coin, absolutely re-
fused to buy q lot Of $4,000 worth offered
them at par. The currency was more pref
cradle for them to hold and the time wasted
in counting the sill yer coin could more ad-
vantsgeously be used. A dealer said yes
tercay that there was only about 100000
worth Of silver coin in New York. About
this perid Of the year certa D portion Of
the quantity of silver 10 the home market is
bought by silvsrsmiths and jewellers for
manufacturing purpc ses. But as the trade
is dull, Gwing TO financial troubles, their
portion of the silver remains in the market,
thus aiding in bsxring down the rate.

.ATER-PUoPosED LEGISLATION,
To the Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.--As to legisla-
ton, the President said yesterday he had
thought much upon the subject, and, If he
were now engaged in writing his annual
message to Congress, he should recommend
positive authority to reissue the forty-fo
millions reserve; q free-banking law, with
the same protection to billholders as now;
a repeal OF the clause requiring reserve
for the protection OF depositors; percent.
age of the other reserve to be in gold, and
that increased in regular ratio until the
whole reserve would be in gold. This
could be SHELLY effected by requiring such
institutions to save the whole or large
percentage CT the gold interest paid to
banks on their bonds held by the Treasurer
of the Uuited States for the protection of
billholders. He also favored an absolute
prohibition of payment of interest on de-
posits. The President did not contend
that he would be right in these recon-
mendations, but they embodied views
which unqided reflection had brought
him to. There was no question but that
much demoralizing and injurious specula-
ton and gambling was caused By the &C.
emulation of capital in la-ge centers by
the payment of interest on deposits, during
a portion of toe year, when money is net
required for moving products. This leads
country bankers, merchants and others to
make their deposits in city banks, princi-
pally in New York, to make this money
earn something during the period when
they do not wish it. Banks paying interest
on deposit can't afford to hold money idle;
hence gambling in fancy stocks, millions OF
