THE CATTLE DISEASE,

A letter ft om Miltown, in the county of Kerry,
and published in the Tralee Chronicle of ye3t3rday,
says :--
"1 am sorry to have to inform you that the cattle dis-
ease has mule its appearance here for some tuna pr.st,
and is on the increase. S.lrne farmers lfave lost as macy
as 12 or 14 head of c It'Ae. Several others who purchased
dry cattle in the early part of the year sold them all off
at the late fairs, and at a considerable loss."

LOLA MONTES.

Lola Montes has addressed the following epistle
to the editor of the Montreal Witness :—" Sir,—A
gentleman of this city has just put into my hands a
copy of your paper, in which you make an unpro-
voked attack on me, and recommend respectable
people not to hear my lectures. Now, sir, in the
notice which I am about to take of you, do not sup-
pose that I am moved by any idea that what you
say will influence people of real respectability and
intelligence. The public press must have already
informed you that it is precisely fiom that class that
my lectures receive the largest pa'ronage. But a
feeling of justice to :myself impels me to ask you
what motive any fair minded man can have for
assaulting me in the pursuit of an honourable and
blameless calling ? Is it not, sir, from the depravity
of your own bad nature that the attack thus sprung?
Am I not earning my bread as respectably as you
are yours ?—and I rejoice in knowing that in the
midst of all the malice and falsehood which have
been heaped .upon me, I have
.never yet to my
knowledge been thus assailed by any man who was
himself of faultless life. My assailants have been
from the ranks of men like yourself, who have no
visible means of getting a character but by shouting
at the tops of their voices against vice—men who,
having worn themselves out in the service of sin,
set up to be the special enemies of sinners. My
manner of life is squarely and prominently before
the public, and scandal itself. does not dare to say
that it is not morally blameless. Of course, I can-
not here enter into any defence of my past career ;
but there are hundreds of honourable men on this
side of the Atlantic who know that until circum-
stances threw me into the stormy arena of politics,
there was far less of evil report attached to my name
than to that of almost any other lady of my profes-
sion in Europe. The causes which afterwards led
to the vilification of my name throughout the world
are already beginning to be partly understood,
and, with devout reliance on the justice of God, I
am patiently waiting for the rest to come. That
my life has not been without errors I do not deny,
but that I ever deserved the abuse which such as
you would heap upon me I do deny, and history
will one day vindicate my right to say this of my-
self. Sir, if you have a wife, a sister, or a mother,
I trust that they are of a blameless life, but cannot
be more so than the one which I am living; •, and
in
Lthoelica_d lending may the day be far off when some wicked and bad-
