The English Wheat Supply.

Advices from England by the late
steamers represent that the chief alarm
respecting the effects of the American
panic in that country arose from the
possible interruption of breadstuffs ex-
ports, in consequences Of the unsnlabili-
ty of foreign exchange in New York.
This alarm was quite natural, in view of
the pressing necessity that exists both
in England and on the continent of Eu-
rope to obtain every available bushel
of wheat from all parts of the world,
and obtain it speedily. The margin be-
tween supply and consumption is very
close in England, and any serious in
terruption of American exports would
exercise a very important influence on
prices. Fortunately, both for Ameri-
can producers and European consumers,
our export trade has beeu affected by
our panic very much less than seemed
probable, or even possible, at one time,
and it looks as if the volume of the sea-
sons trade would not be sensibly di-
minished.
The Importance to European consul
mers of maintaining the American sup
ply may be understood when it is sta
ted that there is considerable falling
off in foreign arrivals of wheat ships in
England, although the supply so far
was equal to the demand. At last mail
dates there were on passage from the
south of Europe and America to ports
of call, 257 cargoes of grain and seed,
against 1888 at the corresponding period
| of last year OF these 12l were wheat,
against IA; II maize, against 92 30
barley, against 80; nil beans, against 6;
l rye, against II; % seed, against ~;
and sundries, against |. There were
also on passage direct to ports in the
United Kingdom SO cargoes of grain,
against ll5 at the corresponding period
| last year, of which 60 were wheat !;
chiefly from California, against so; 81
maize, against 80 and barley against
3, at the corresponding period i'll
1872. The English board of trade re-
turns show falling off in the imports
of wheat during the month of Septem-
Der as compared with last year; but the
aggregate receipts of the current year
to date were about 1900, 900 cwt. in ex-
cess of 1872. The movements have been
of a remarkable character, rs will be
seen from the following statement OF
the imports for these three months dur

--Adyices from tho province OF Bengal show
the crops are failing and the impending famine
cannot be averted.
Private advices from Havana state that
in the recent storm three Spanish gun-boats
were lost at Guantanamo, two at Batabano,

Prince Bismarck has been re-apponted

slams.
1t is reported that in consequence OF tho
po ition maintained by Count De Chambord
in his letter to De Chenlong, all hopes Of the
restoration of monarchy have been abandoned.
1t is probable that the conservative deputies
will vote in favor of prolonging the term OF
Office of president Mcmahon.
"A letter from Berlin shows that the city
has not only been affected by tho American
panic, but is preparing for ono Of it's own un-
interrupted scandals on tho bourse. Irregular
ity and insecurity in every branch OF busi-
ness, prodgaity and waste among the mid
die classes, great suffering among the poor, a
swelling tide of emigration and all forms of
pecuniary distress hang over the city, and all
is said to be owing to nothing less than specie
initiation.

How Memphis Looks.

Some parts of the city are nearly ab-
solutely abandoned, You can walk
souarc after square, day and night,
without finding soul to talk to,
without finding an open door, or seeing
q light or any other signs OF life.
Death and fright have carried or driven
the PEOPLE all away, An owner OF
propertyin what is called the "infected
district" directed his agent, as matter
of charity. not to call on his tenants for
nav on the usual day, and sometime al
ter when going through the neighbor'
hood. it was found that all his houses
were empty. Those who had not been
taken by the plague had been driven OIL
bv terror. Business is at a perfect
standstill, when, had it not been for
thocpilemic, Memphis would now be IN
the flush of trade and commercial ac-
tivity. A large proportion OF the prl-
vate residences are closed, giving those
q fupereal appearance whichleyen have
had no such sad occaion of mourning
within their walls. Most OF them,
however, are associated i'll the minds OF
the citizens with scenes of disease and
death. Very few ladies are met on the
streets. save those wearing the badge OF
some charitable society, or the weeds
Of mourning, The street cars ore never
crowded, generally having but one or
two passengers, aud are scarcely more
numerous than hearses. Theaters, OF
course, are all closed, and so, too, are
more than two-thirds of the. bar-rooms.

remains uncertain. / am told there has
been an intense greed among the people
in this section to obtain coin. They
made any and every sacrifice to get hold
of it, and then hide it and hoard it
with the jealousy of misers. No atten-
tion whatever is paid to the character
of the coin, and it is now believed that
immense quantities of the spurious
specie is hid in all sorts Of secret places
by the people throughout the entire
section of Western North Carolina,
Among the arrested parties brought
in was William r. Black, of Madison,
Rockingham county, and the leader of
the gang known as Blacks. He is
about eighty-fve years of age, and
owns most of the town in which he
lives, his estimated wealth being about
$780, 600. Black is reported to have had
dealings in the "queer" his entire life
time, and it is supposed it was by this
means he accumulated his present
wealth. 1t is related of him that he
never failed to take back and redeem in
genuine currency any counterfeits which
might be brought back to him. One
person who found himself in possession
of $50 counterfeit bill-he did not
know by what means-went to Black
and said, "Mr. Black, this 800 bill you
gave me few weeks since, find is
counterfeit Black, putting on his
spectacles, replied, excuse me; my
eyesight is bad but here is the money
for it" at the same time planking down
five genuine tens. These the individual
pocketed conscientiously, though he
had not received counterfeit from
Black, knowing that that person would
easily dispose of it in his "queer" "
transactions. When arrested he cx-
pressed himself as entirely ignorant of
the charges against him-knew nothing
about counterfeits-and accompanied
the deputy marshal without murmur

John 9. Heenan.

John Carmel Heenan, the pugilist,
who died the other day Of consumption,
in Wyoming territory, where he went
several weeks ago for his health, was
born in West Troy, New York, in 1884,
and in lS49 when the gold fever was
raging, emigrated with the " Argonauts"
of that period to California. He set
tied at the town of Benicia, and his
pugilistic exploits among the rough
population there soon gave him the
name, by which his admirers long
knew him, OF the "Benicia Boy"
In 1858 his muscles and pugilistic
propensities were 80 fully developed
that, in company with Mr.. James Gu
sick, his trainer, he returned to New
York in search of fight. He spent
the next two years, however, rather
peacefully in the employ of the New
York custom-bouse. In 1858 he entered
his first prize battle with John Norris
sey, Mt Long Point Island, Canada, and
was defeated. The great event Of his
life was tho fight with Tom Sayers, in
England, in 1860, for the championship
of the world. The American hero was
lion among the classes who like
prize fights, during his stay England,
though he was continually kept moving
on by the police authorities, and was
finally arrested few days previous to
the day fixed for the fight. The battle
was postponed in consequence, but Hee-
nan was finally released, and the fight
took place. Itresulted very unsatisfac-
torly to those interested in it, the
crowd interfering and breaking down
the ropes and the referee taking to
flight In 1861 Heenau challenged any
man in the world to fight for l0,000,
which Jem Mace, OF England, proposed
TO accept, but the arrangement was
never perfected. He found Tom King
in 1863, in England, King defeating
him so severely that it was believed he
never recovered his health. He trav'
elod with shows in England and this
corptrv for several years after that,
but did not appear in the ring again,
supporting himself 10y his exhibitions
and by gambling house in New York.

Here we see heavy decline in the
gross wheat receipts from Russia dur
ing the first nine months of the present
as compared with the corresponding
perio Is in the two preceding years. At
the same time there is a corresponding
increase in the supplies from the United
States. There is this year decrease
in round numbers of 100000 cwts. Of
wheat from Russia, and an increase of
no less than S,OOO,O 600 cwts. in the i'm.
ports from the United States. The
falling off in Russian supplies is of
course result of the failure of the
wheat harvest in southern Russia, upon
which western Europe is so largely de-
Dendent.

AUTUMN

'Tis the golden gleam of an autumn day,
With the soft rain raining as II in play
And tender touch upon everything,
Az If autumn remembered the days Of spring.
In the listening woods there il not breath
70 shake their gold to the sward beneath;
And glow as IL sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun IL hid in the shadowed skies.
The cocks clear crow from the farmyard comes,
The mufiied bell from the befry booms,
And faint and dim, from far away,
Come the voices Of children In happy play.
Der the mountains the white rain draws it's veil
And the black rocks, cawing, across them sail,
While nearer the swoopng swallows skim
Ger the stool-gray river's iretted brim,
No sorrow upon the landscape weighs,
No grief for the vanquished summer days,
But sense Of peaceful and calm repose,
Like that which age in ita autumn knows.
The spring-time longings are past and gone,
The passions of summer no longer are known,
The harvest s gathered, and autumn stands
Serenely thoughtful, with folded hands.
Over all IL thrown memorial hue,
A glory Ideal the real ne'er knew,
For memory shifts from the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone to remain.
With half smile and with half a sigh
II pOnders the past that has hurried by;
Secs it, and feels it, and loves II all,
Content it has vanished beyond recall
o glorious autumn, thus serene,
Thus living and loving oil that has been
Thus calm and cOntented let me be
When the autumn Of age shall come to me-

HONESTY An ACQUIRED QUALITY
What makes a man honest? Honesty
is not natural virtue /; man must be
drilled to it. 1t is after man has
looked at temptation when he has been
put to the proof, that he is to be judged.
There is not farmer on Long island
that is as honest as the men in Wall
street. Why? Because these men are
old veterans. The old farmer is as
good as men go, but he would probably
break down at the first offer. / asked a
friend, not long ago, who was giving me
n sad story of the purchasable values oil
different members of society in the leg
;slatrre how it was with farmers.
:. Bless your soul" said he, they are
,be cbeapest stuff we buy in the legisia-
,urs" I am not up for election, Just
now. and therefore l am not Obliged TO
call farmers the 1'bone and sinew OF the
country. Henry Ward Beecher
