The New York Herald has the fol-
lowing to say on the same subject:
providence in its benefcence hav-
ing seen fit to compensate us for our
losses of last year by an abundant
harvest we recklessly and un-
gratefully throw the gift in His face
by refusing to market it. This, not
to put too fine a point upon it, is what
the Western farmers, who are holding
back their grain to-day for higher
prices, doing. And stupidity, too.
AS stupidity as the cheap economic
philosophers who at one time were so
urgent with their advice to the South
to plant cotton short, so as to advance
the price. We know what happened
when the crop was necessarily short.
Our farmers now invite similar con-
sequences is respect to grain. They
virtually abandon the Liverpool mar
ket to Russia, France, Hungary, and
the other grain-producing Districts OF
Europe, where the harvest has been
abundant as our own, and with the
provincial purpose, narrow alike in
conception and in the means of carry
ing it out, of endeavoring to regulate
the price in Chicago, abandon to ri.
val traders the higher market
which rules Chicago as readily as it
rules London or Manchester
1t is Of course annoying to the toiling
farmer that he should be cheated Of
a full price for his wheat by the idle
speculator, but he cannot remedy that
state of things by holding back his
produce; he simply loses his market
altogether. Grain should be going
forward freely at the present time
while the canals are open, and ocean
freights exceptionally low. Even if
the farmer does not get the price he
expected the cheap transportation tells
in his favor; but, to sacrifice the op-
portunity thus afforded to occupy the
Liverpool market, while it is still
open, for the trivial satisfaction of
cornering the Chicago speculator, is
suicidal. It is to be borne in mind,
however, that 1t is only in respect to
wheat that we have this great abund-
ance. Corn, oats and barley are de-
ficient-the former, in fact, being so
much SO as to seriously affect pork,
farmers being unable to afford feeding
it to their hogs"

THE Minneapolis Mail explains the
candidacy of Capt. E. M. Wilson, for
Congress, as follows: ''The game is
understood to be that he will run and
be badly defeated and then set up,
on the capital Of political martyr
dom in the short-horn arena, as a can
didate for the United States Senate"

GEN. SHERMAN has in course OF
preparation review of the late war
from a military standpoint, which will
be published after his death. It will
certainly be valuable contribution
to special class of literature, and as
"a book of reference for the future his
torian of the Great War will not fail
Of an honorable place.

The New York World is also of the
opinion that wheat is going to be very
low this year. Its reasonings may
naturally be Influenced to some ex-
tent by the interests Of the grain op-
orators of New York, but they de-
serve attention so far as they rest up
on facts. The World estimates that
the average yearly demand of England
for wheat in excess Of its production
is about 100000 bushels, while our
exports last year exceeded 90,000,-
900 bushels; that the crop of France
will fall short of consumption but
little; that Russia, Germany, Hun
gary, the Turkish provinces and Aus
tria are all reported as having full
crops and a surplus for export fully
large enough to supply Deficiencies in
England and France without any de-
mand upon this country. If this
view Of the case is correct, prices will
necessarily be forced downward to the
bare cost Of production and transport
tation. Interviews with many lead
ing grain dealers show that in New
York it is generally believed that the
Western farmers are holding back
their crops in hope Of higher prices,
which the dealers believe will not be
realized.
The reasoning of the dealers, is that
if there is enough grain obtainable
abroad to satisfy the European de-
mand, the delay in shipment from
this country will only give time for
Russian and Austrian grain to be
marketed, and will thus shut out
American grain altogether. Our own
surplus thrown back upon our own
market, will cause still greater de-
preston Of prices here, it is claimed,
than if the general surplus of produc-
ton had been from the first more
equally divided. 1t is noteworthy
that the New York operators repre-
sent that there is no lack of money
with which to move the crops" but
on the contrary, that the market is
peculiarly favorable.

paid el0 for every hundred acres in
1889. Rice sold his grant to Judge Over
ton for $500 in 1871, and 0verton sold a
half interest to Gen. Jackson a few
days afterwards. Gen. Jackson sold
three-eighths of his half interest at vari-

following named gentlemen = Judge
Overton, one-half; VIM. Winchester,
one-eight; Gen. jackson, one-eighth;

ADJUSTMENTS.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-Quite large
audience attended the theater last even
ing, on which occasion the Owens Com
bination appeared in Heir-at-Law and
Young America. AS "Dr. Pangloss,
LID. and ASS" Owens was unrival-
ed, it being, in the minds of many critics,
his very best representation. In the
afterpieee, Young America, wherein
Owens played the role of "Pooley," he
was comical and humorous in the ex-
IRENE. Indeed the audience kept up a
continual series of ordinations from
the rising until the falling of the curtain.
Tonight the attraction will be Caleb
Plummer," dramatization of Dickens
most charming story, The Cricket on the
Hearth. As the old "Toy-maker" Ow-
ems is excellent. Tomorrow evening
the Poor Gentleman and Scion Single
will be placed on the boards.
FOOT LIGHTS.
During the week Miss Ellen Morant
has been playing quite attractive parts
in support of Owens at the theater.
Last evening her real name appeared
on the programme, Mrs. ]. A. Bowen.
This accomplished actress will be re-
membered by our citizens as a superior
vocalist, who few years since was the
leading singer in the St, Lazarus Church
choir of this city. Tonight she will ap-
pear as lilly Slowboy," with songs,
etc.
The theatrical door.keepers and ushers
have won golden opinions on account OF
their politeness to the public this season.
During the present week the manage
ment has set and dressed each piece
presented in an appropriate manner.
There will be most attractive matt
nee at the theater on Saturday.
MAcEvoY's New HIBERNIcoX.-If you
cannot afford to spare the money for a
trip to Ireland, visit the New Hibernicon
at the Assembly Hall, and you will get
fair idea of the prominent places of IN
terest in that beautiful island. The
tourist starts from New York at sunset,
spends night on the Atlantic; eneoun-
tiers a storm; fair weather returns, and,
after hasty but pleasant trip, reaches
Dublin Bay. The city Of Dublin is faith
fully pictured with its interesting public
buildings, monuments, eathedrals, and
churches of historical renown. The illu-
minated transparent scenes in the life of
ST. Patrick are very fine. Barney, the
fun loving aud misehievous guide, is
introduced after these views, and is a
pleasant companion for the remainder
of the trip. Barney sweetheart, Nora,
is fair representation of the beautiful
Irish peasant girls who are faithful TO
their lovers, and follow them wherever
they lead. Miss McCrea personates the
indignant mother and attractive widow
very satisfactorily. The explanations Of
different pictures by Frank MacEyoy are

Probable suicide.

A deck passenger on the steamer g..
w. Cheek attempted to commit suicide
at eight o'clock last evening when the
boat was near Austin, Mississippi He
got on beard the Cheek at Miller
Landing, nine miles below Friar's
Point. He seemed to be intoxicated
and had great flask in his possession,
from which he occasionally took drink.
The clerk Of the boat had occasion to
go below at eight o'clock last evening
for the purpose Of ordering off some
freight at or near Austin, Miss. While
so doing he observed two deck passen-
gers near him. One of them drew a
pistol suddenly and the clerk heard a
report, the smoke flying in bis face. In
a second he saw the passenger lying on
his back and pistol lying between his
legs. The ball entered the right temple
and lodged in the brain. The boat
reached here this morning and the man
was still alive. When our reporter
reached the boat at ten o'clock this
morning he found the wounded man
lying on pallet and covered with
white sheet. Removing the sheet from
his face he observed the bullet hole
in the right temple, from which a
mass of blood and brains was eozing.
From his nostrils and mouth quantity
Of blood and brains flowed copiously.
The man had discolored marks around
the eyes and was gasping for breath. He
evidently was dying. Officer Eishman,
of the station.house, had him carried to
the hospital for medical attention. A deck
hand says the man had been talking to
him few seconds before he committed
the rash act and stated that be had been
wood chopping and could not collect
what was due him. He was in
toxicated, and seemed to be suf-
fering from depression Of mind.
No one on board the Cheek knew him
or anything about him. Our reporter
saw his carpet.sack opened and exam
ined at the police Office. 1t was full of
working clothes, such as levee laborer
or wood-chopper is accustomed to wear,
A pass-book contained number Of en-
tries, such as the following: u. Wood,
got of Mrs. Carter 10 lbs. meat -four,
potatoes, etc., and Got Of Mrs. Brown
meat, -four, etc." His name is supposed
to be J. Wood, and his residence up
North. Nothing else was known or
could be found to identify him. He was
dressed in check shirt, gray pants, coarse
wooden socks and brogan shoes. He
seems to be about 80 years of age, has
black hair, black mustache and full
whiskers. The pistol, a 5.inch Colt, has
one barrel discharged, and the bottle Of
whisky was half empty. There is no
hope of his recovery, and he will no
doubt be dead before we go to press.

Z A number of gentlemen, mounted on
fiery steeds, visited the Fair Grounds at
daylight this morning, and aided by a
pack of sixteen dogs, had deer chase
over bitches and fences. The deer ran
five miles, and at last ran into house
and was recaptured. Many of the horse
men we're dismounted in trying to get
over bitches. At one time the deer
headed for Memphis, and came very
near running down Vance street. The
