MEXICAN WAR Pensions. The sur
viving soldiers of the Mexican war and
their friends will make one more effort
to get their pension bill passed before
the expiration of the present Congress.
The Senate bill now stands on the cal.
cndar of the Senate as a special order,
and the House bill stands at the head
of the calendar IN committee Of the
whole. All through the last session
the republicans in both houses threw
obstacles in the way of the passage OF
the bill whenever it was taken up for
action. The principal objection made
to it was that Jefferson Davis would
be included in its provisions. Now
that the election is over they may not
care so much about this, but as Mr..
Davis has said that he did not care to
be beneficiary of the bill, the demo
Gratis may suffer him TO be excluded, il
the point shonld be again made by the
republicans.

rd~ The harvests in Russia have fail
ed SO badly that American wheat is now
imported at st. Petersburg and that
country is thus forbidden from compe-
ting with our own in furnishing the
grain supply for England. This fact
indicates the likelihood of steady Eu-
ropean demand for orr grain. The
American Minister at ST. Petersburg
draws sorry picture of the Russian
empire, and in a recent dispatch quotes
this Paragraph from the "Globe" of St.
Petersburg, leading Russian journal,
in confirmation
From all sides comes news of the har
vest being below the average, of want
and hunger, from which will spring d.
sease and very likely death. Beetles,
worms and locust are eating up the
corn; the diminution of cattle surpasses
all belief; diptheria is taking off the
coming generation; breadstutfs have al
ready reached five kopecks 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 cattle, pulling straw from
its matched roofs and depriving itself
of its very clothes and shoes.
