THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
scenes of pestilence have done so, but of the fugi¬ 
tives many have borne away with them the 
germs of disease and perished as far away as 
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Brooklyn and 
New York. Society Is utterly demoralized; the 
poor are starving for want of work and want of 
food; the predatory classes are robbing the houses 
whose defenders are sick or dead; parents flee 
from their plague-stricken children and children 
shun their dying parents; while through the 
scenes of agony and death noble men ftDd wo¬ 
men, clergymen, doctors and merchants, are busy 
on errands of mercy and relief. From all the tor¬ 
mented cities come supplications for more nurses, 
more doctors, and, ror Heaven’s sake! more 
money with which to provide the necessaries of 
life ror the suffering people. 
FOREIGN. 
Another famine Is threatened In Ireland by the 
failure of the potato crop, l n 1847 a similar fail¬ 
ure caused hair a million deaths by starvation 
In that unhappy country, despite the 111-man- 
aged aid of the British Government and the 
tardy charity of the world. So vast a calamity 
would now be Impossible, yet there Is every pros¬ 
pect thereof a great deal of suffering. Last year 
the crop Is said to have been a dead loss, the 
yield In some places not paying a tenth of the 
cost; and now come reports that the vines are 
blighted and the tubers tainted. It has been 
argued with a great deal of force that one of the 
heaviest curses on the Emerald Isle is the nearly 
universal culture there or potatoes. Besides the 
misery their failure has brought In late years on 
the inhabitants, the ease with which a wretched 
livelihood was formerly got from them, rendered 
the hulk of the natives lazy, Improvident and un¬ 
ambitious— raults which years or suffering and 
often exile have not yet eradicated from the 
character of many of them. 
Garrlbaldt has issued another letter bitterly 
Inveighing against Austria and heartily approv¬ 
ing German socialism. Recent elections In 
France Indicate that the Senate will, after next 
elections, have a republican majority, the same 
as the Assembly. Hitherto the majority In that 
body was composed of monarchists and Imperial- 
lats, and should the republicans gain control of 
It, It win tend to assure the permanence of the 
Republic after isso, wuen McMahon’s presidency 
terminates and the future form or government is 
to be definitely decided. Meanwhile, the ex-ern- 
press, Eugenio, Is being brilliantly reted in Vien¬ 
na by the Emperor and all the great Court digni¬ 
taries, while her sou, the Prince Imperial, Is 
being treated with equal distinction during a 
tour through Norway and Sweden. The Emperor 
or Morocco, In whose territory a terrible famine 
has latey been raging, has of late been killed seve¬ 
ral times by cablegrams, and now, once more, 
they place him at death’s door from the effects of 
poison. Ills reported that the negorlatlons be¬ 
tween Bismarck uud the Vatican have fallen to 
the ground, and that the Uliramonutnes in the 
Reichstag will therefore oppose, as heretofore, 
the Chancellor’s policy. The prizes at the Paris 
Exposition will be distributed October 21 , when, 
Contrary to a late announcement, the great show 
will close with a magoillcent fete. 
AS an Illustration of t.he all-pervading official 
corruption In Russia, It 1s now slated that the 
reason why Gen, Todelben replaced the Grand 
Duke Nicholas In commaud of the Russian army 
before Constantinople was that the latter had ac¬ 
cepted a present of T.ouo.ouo francs Irom con¬ 
tractors for furnishing moldy bread and rotten 
hay to troops operating In Bulgaria, and that 
for t his corrupt act ho has been banished to his 
estate at Perm. Gen. Grelgli, who established 
the fact, has been made minister of tlnunce, ami 
ninety field Officers who shared In the plunder are 
to be disgraced. Numerous Instances of the 
grossest kina of peculation and dishonesty In all 
ranks ul Muscovite official life, have lately been 
made public, and It is highly douhttul whether 
the ataudard of ofllcial Honesty la any higher In 
the huge monarchy across the water than it Is in 
the groat republic on this side or the Atlantic. a 
new Russian 0 per cent loan of $ 214 , 000,000 is 
about to be placed on the market. The funded debt 
of the empire la uow $1,500, 000,000 audits Uoatlug 
debt $1,000,00(1 more. Since the Muscovite war 
with Khiva,tlielr forces have beeu kept prelly busy 
operating in Central Africa In the dircctlnuot Brit¬ 
ish India. It wag lately uunouuccd that they 
had received the submission or a Khau who had 
hitherto been dependent on Afgnaulatan and 
wliosu territory was only 2&0 mites distant from 
the English possessions. News now comes that 
all movements In that quarter have been termin¬ 
ated and that the troops nave been recalled home. 
The war bctwueu the Austrians and Bosnians 
still continues, though the former have gained 
several Important successes, and the.latter begin 
to show signs of demoralization. Austria will 
soon have m the held iss.noo men, enough to 
crush ail uppoalitou, and perhaps to call Scrvla 
and Moiiteiji gro to account for uldlug the In- 
SUI'genis. Greece has appealed to the Powers 
to force Turkey to concede to her the territory 
she was partly promised by the Berlin Congress, 
ana uer petition, It Is said, meets with favorable 
consldcruiu n. no Russian troops near Con¬ 
stantinople are embarking for home, but tresh 
ni'-'ii are un their way from Russia to take their 
places.
