Russia's Dep,crable Condition.

TIE Minister of the United States at
st. Petersburg, in q dispatch to the De-
partment of State, draws o gloomy pict-
ure of the present economic and social
condition of Russia. The grain crop of
the past season, he says, has proved a
failure, and American wheat is import
ed now even at St. Petersburg. 1t is
also entering at Odessa and other Rus
sian ports. But large market for this
American cereal cannot be predicted,
as very little bread made from wheat
is used in Russia; the mass of the peo-
pie must have cheaper and coarser
article, such as rye or Indian corn. The
scarcity of grain in the Empire is so
great that it was currently reported
and generally believed that the I'M
perial Government was considering the
prepriety of prohibiting the expectation
of rye. There will be much suffering
among the poor classes. Minister Fos-
ter quotes from the Golos, of St. Peters
burg, as follows: ''From all sides
comes news of the harvest being below
the average, of want and hunger, from
which will spring disease and very
likely death. Beetles, worms and To-
Gusts are eating up the corn; the dimi-
mutton of cattle surpasses all belief !;
diphtheria is taking off the coming
generations; breadstuffs have already
reached five kopeks per pound. Every
one feels that Russia does not subsist
by the produce of its own land, but is
wasting its capital in cutting wood,
selling surplus cattle. pulling straw
from its thatched roofs, and depriving
itself of its very clothes and shoes
