PLEURo PNEUMONIA IN ENGLAND Ad-
vices from New Brunswick informs us that
Mr.. Barberie, who had been sent by the ST.
John Agricultural Society for the purpose of
purchasing stock for the uses of the society,
has returned without purchasing any. He
found that the pleuro pneumonia was very
prevalent in those sections that he visited, and
that it involved great risk TO ship cattle from
that country to this on account of the disease
This, we have no doubt w,s very wise
and prudent conclusion of the agent. 1t would
have been disastrous day for New Bruins
wick, if, by an importation of cattle for i'm
proving their breeds, they should at the same
time thereby introduce that fatal scourge
among their herds.
1t is undoubtedly desirable to get good stock
from England from which to breed and I'M
prove their herds, but happily it is not now
the only source from which good stock OF the
several breeds can lie obtained.
We have, in the states and in Canada, near
ly all the breeds and races, and from them
they can be perpetuated even if none were ever
again brought from England.
The best and purest blood of Shorthorns,
Herefords, Devons Ayrshires, Jerseys, Gallo
ways, and even Kerres, can now be found
either in the states or Canada Why not look
among them for good breeders? They can be
found equally as good every way as if i'm
ported from the mother country, and the first
cost and expenses Of transportation will be
much less. Indeed, pure blooded stock of
the Durham, Hereford, Devon, Ayrshire, and
Jersey breeds can be obtained in our own
state, where no taint of pleuro-pneumonia
(thanks to the prompt action of our executiye)
has ever had any existence.

The Corn Crop of 1890

Much anxiety is being felt concerning the
corn crop of 1860. There can be no donbt of
the quantity. In many districts. it is more
than double the crop of 1859 and is probably
the largestc crop ever raised in the United States
In some districts it has been injured by drouth
put generally the yield will be extraordinary.
New York dealers refuse to advance two.

the usual price fer the last few years for Au
gust, at Chicago, Notwithstanding the plethora
III the money market The western dealers
cannot anticipate the results as formerly this
VIII doubtless cause Il reduction of price at the
seaboard, and probably may induce shipment
to Europe, to greater extent than last year.
The question now is, whether the increase in
consumption in England, Ireland Scotland
asd elsewhere, will be sufficient to take so much
OF our surplus, as will maintain the price on
the balance of the crop?
The successful introduction of this crop into
Great Britain, is greatly due to Mr.. Cowdin,
formerly United States consul at Glasgow.
AT his own expense he caused a quantity of
Indian meal to be prepared in the different
known methods practiced in this country, and
furnished it gratuitously in many of the large
cities OF the British empire, to thousands of
individuals who never tasted it before The
increased consumption in the following year,
clearly showed that this action had been Judi
clous. lie tells us that even at this time, not
one Englishman in thousand has ever tasted
Indian corn. The import into Ireland, from
1850 to 1854, was as follows

The Docs OF CoNsTANTINoPLE.-The
dogs of Consantinople are famous for their
ferocity, and it has been supposed that they
were incapable Of attachment to man; but a
Frenchman has lately brought one to Paris
with him under circumstances which prove
the contrary One day, at Pera, he noticed
splendid specimen of these woltedogs lying
with halfclosed eyes in the sun, and he went
to him and carressed him. The dog did not
seem to understand it, and lay as motionless
as stone Next day he repeated it, and the
next, and after several days the dog seemed to
learn the meaning of it, and followed him to
the hotel, and became his constant companion
About two months atterward the Frenchman
having finished his business in Turkey. took
passage on a steamer for France and recon-
mended his protoge to the care of the hotel
keeper, who promised he should never suffer.
He forbade the dog should follow him, and
went on board the steamer, where his compass
sion was excited by seeing the dog, who had
followed ihim at a distance, sitting on the
shore. But when the steamer started, all
were astonished to see the dog plunge into the
water aud follow after On and on he swan
until, the speed of the steamer increasing, he
began to howl in distress. AT last the passer-
gers begged the captain TO take him ON board,
and a boat was lowered to pick him up. SO

The consumption since the above dates is
not so well known. 1t is true that the breadth
OF land appropriated to potatoes throughout
the British empire, has steadily increased ever
since, until it is now estimated that 2,250, 900
acres are annually cultivated for that crop In
1852 the Irish cultivated 876, ,532 acres, and in
1865, 96l ,529, and at this time more than a
million OF acres are appropriated to potatoes,
and as the rot is less than during the years we
have enumerated, we cannot but infer that the
increased use OF Indian corn will scarcely fur.
nish us the necessary outlet for the crop of
1860. The West Indies, however, have in
creased as consumers of American corn; Cuba
grows very large crop herself, and still re-
mains our customer to greater degree than
formerly.

Mr. Editor The are many gardens in Nova

5O to 6O acres each in former years. The
present yield per acre will probably range
from 100 to l50 bushels of shipping potatoes

of our farmers imagine. Farmers here aim to
get good sized and sound potatoes They find

Every Yankee who happens among them, is

he, by means Of joint tickets in the Free States,
should obtain more electoral votes than Bel, and
bis name be consequently sent to the House, with
those of Breckenridge and Lincoln. What thon
would be his chances Of an election by that body ?
Illinois ia the only State in which bic supporters
have q majority of the Representatives. in the
House. In the representation of five or six Of tue
Democratic States, every member is deadly hostile
to him; while in the representation Of the remain
ing Democratic States his few supporters are
borne down by decided majorities. Judge Douglas
therefore, has no more prospect Of obtaining the
vote of The Democratic States in the House Of
Representatives for the Presidency, excepting li-
nois, than of being elected chief magistrate OF the
new State which Garibaldi is founding in Italy.
And nobody knows this better than Douglas him
self 1t is clear, therefore, that, if the proposed
combinations are formed, they can only tend in
some possible contingencies to send the name OF
Breckenridge into the House Of Representatives
and make Lane President by indirecflon, but under
no circumstances can advance Douglas one hair
breadth toward the Executive mansion. Hence,
it ia not strange that the proposition meets with
no .avOr from him or his more reliable and ardent
friends. Indeed, judging from the accredited or
guns of opinion in that quarFer-we don't refer to
our trading, jockeyiDg Softs-it is secuted with
scora and Indignation.
As for Ourselves, so confident are vs. that such
a coalition would only deepen the disgusswhch the
masses of the people feel for the POLITICIANS that
have cured the country for the last eight years,
that we hope if tie high contracting parties are in
clined to enter into some arrange nent By which
the friends Of Lincoln can have a chance to punish
them all at once they will put their riebald ticket
in nomination at an early day. While the victory
would be no more doubtful, it would be far more
gratifying. The country has had enough Of Pierce
and his Kap sasism, of Buchanan and his LecOmp.
tonism enough of rogvery and rascality in all de-
partments of the Government, and it has no inten-
ton of continuing this misrue under the admins
tration either of Douglas or Breckenridge. The
people have resolved upon change. They will
execute that resolve with memorable firmnes. The
balot-boxes in November will impress this truth
upon the mind of the most incOrrigioe and skePti.
cal politician in the ranks Of the opponents OF
Abraham Lincoln.

THE PROPOSED COALITION.

The friends of Breckenridge IN certain Northern
localities seem DESTROYS Of coalition, on joint
electoral tickets, with the supporters of Douglas.
That they are disinterested in this desire is OBJ
yious. If there were doubts Of this, they must be
instantly disspated by rejecting upon the liberal
support which this class of politicians gave to
Douglas in the National Convention, and the gen
erous aid which the Sldells the Dayises the Hun.
tiers, and the YaDceys, are now extending to bis
cause in the Southern States. Strange to say, the
leading and influential friends Of Douglas seem dis
inclined to enter into the proposed coalition, aud
insist that all such combinations will enure to the
benefit of the Breckenridge and Lane ticket, aud
by no possible turn Of the wheel Of fortune aid
the election Of Douglas.
A candid survey Of the field of controversy in
clines us to the option that the Douglas men are
right. His most sanguine friends do not dream
that a coalition upon single electoral tickets In
the Free States could result in his election by the
people; and for the plain reason that Breckenridge
will doubtless get the votes Of oil the Southern
States which do not 60 for Bell or Lincoln.
Even If such coalition should succeed in
two or three Nor bern States (Of which
there is not the remotest probability, and thus
prevent the success of Lincoln, it would only re-
suit in carrying the election into the Heuse OF
Repre,cntatives, where Douglas stands not the
slightest chance Of being chosen. Thus, the pro-
posed coalition, granting it to be here and there
successful, and the resulting electoral votes divided
pyo rata between Brecknridge and Douglas, would
only tend to throw the former into the House,
along with Lincoln aud Bel, to the exclusion Of
Doualas. Once in the House of Representatives,
and that body failing to elect either Breckenridge,
ReIl or Lincoln, then 10. Lane, being returned to
,be Senate BY the same vote which seIt Breckin-
ridge to the House, would be chosen Vice-Presi-
dent of that body, and would, on the fourth OF
March. become President ia contamination which
would, perhaps, be extremely gratifying to Judge
Douglas. We are inclined to the opinion that tho
Slavery propag apdists, so far as they have been
able to form any fixed purposes ia the shattered
CONDITION of the Democratic party, have deter
mined, FIRST, 10 beat Douglas at oil hazards, snd'
secondly and az the minor consequence, elect
Vice. President in the Senate, and ultimately place
him in the Pre.den initial chair, in the manner Just
indicated.
But LET us discard all reasonable probabilities,

The Hon. James Brooks is q reckless writer and
speaker, but why be should deliberately violate the
truth is problem. In his speech at Utica on
Thursday he alleged that " the Republicans trem-
"ble when their Summers and their Phillipses
"speak before the public" By "Philpses M.
Brooks here means Mr. Wendell Phillips, the same
distinguished Garrsonan Alb ,litionist who recently
denounced Mr.. Lincoln as st the save-hound of
Illinois, who never voted Republican ticket,
and indeed never voted at all, and who can scarcely
mention the Republican party or any of its promi
nent men without some termsgaDt expression OF
dislike or hatred. All this is perfectly notorious;
and we infer from the language of Mr.: Brooks, not
new thing with him by the way, that the truth will
not suffice for his warfare against the Republican
cause, and that the use Of falsebood is q matter
of necessity.
As for trembling at the speeches of Mr.. Sumner,
who is member of the Republican party, although
Mr.. Brooks says 80, we are not aware that there
is anything in them to cause alarm. They are
very learned and very able speeches, and the most
Jealous critic win fail to discover in them any
trescbery to the principles of justice, humanity,
dHQ ucWOClueyt ohy mcou puchhuS w PoWci,
any grasping after base and ignoble objects.
Animated always by deep convictions and noble
ideas, urging the attainment Of legitimate ends
by legal and constitutional means, they con.
tain their own justification. But they are
the individual utterances of Mr.. Sumner;
and whether their phraseOlogy is always the
wisest, their practical suggestions are the most
judicious is question with regard to which the
Republican party has no responsibility. The creed
and the policy of that party are all expressed in
the Chicago platform, and in the nomination Of
ABRAHAM LINCOIN-a platform as broad as
the Republic, and a candidate whom all
patriotic men, radical or conservative, may
heartily unite in electing. Honest, firm, and
dispsssionate, remarkable alike for penetrating
clearness and judicial moderation Of mind, all
mag rally to his support with the wellassured con-
idence that his Administration will restore purity
to the Government, and peace and prosperity to
the country.
