What the True Delta Says.
STEWART STovE.-This truly celebra-
ted Cooking Stove is destined to work
a complete revolution in the cooking
department Of all good house-keepers.
Enough of them have been put in use
to substantiate their superiority
The fact that upwards of twenty
thousand Of them have been sold by
the manufacturer within the past four
years, under full guarantee to per-
form as recommended, and none re-
turned, is sufficient guarantee; but
when you take into consideration the
fact that the responsible Agent for
Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Ar.
kansas, SAMUEL LOCKE, of Nos. 8,
9 and 10 Front Levee, continues to
sell under full guarantee, heads of
families should not be backward in
giving them trial. If Mr.. Locke's
sales meet his expectations, this steve
will prove a real saving to the fami.
lies of Louisiana alone Of more than a
million of dollars per annum. That
the STEWART STOVE is great fuel
and labor saving apparatus there is
not doubt, Judging from the favora-
BILE accounts given by hundreds that
have them in use, although we consid-
er the peculiar quality Of keering the
heat so confined in the stove that the
kitchen can be kept at uniform low
temperature-one of its best qualities.

HISTORY OF THE CATTLE
 PLAGUE.

The history of the Cattle Plague in the Old World may well excite alarm on it's ap- pearauce in this country. Its ravages have swept off the cattle of whole empires, de- stroying in the aggregate many millions of animals.
 As everything on this subject will be in- teresting to the owners of cattle, we copy the following history of the disease from the Ohio Agricultural Report of 1859:
 Pleuro-pneumonia is contagious disease of cattle, which originates spontaneously among the cattle in the vast Russian step pes, more especially in the southern and east ern provinces of Russia. It disseminates it. self very rapidly, by means of a virus, which infects all races, sexes, ages and conditions of cattle, but which infects neither man nor any other animal. For period of upwards of fifteen hundred years, this disease has at times, spread desolation beyond the steppes; more especially has it followed in the wake of war and destroyed entire herds, in the several European countries. The first ac- count which we have of it, dates back to the fourth century. In this instance, it was un- doubtedly carried westward by emigrants from the East, of Russian provinces. From Panonia, it swept westward through Molda- via, Gallicia, Bohemia, into Belgium, on the northern route; and through Pennsylvania, Wallachia, Hungary, gclavonia, styria, H. lyrca, into Austria and Tyrol. On account of the great destruction of cattle, it was at that time called the Pest" During the wars of Charles the Great, in the ninth cen tury, this plague broke out and destroyed all the cattle that grazed in the imperial states. About the middle of the same century, it literally swept away all the cattle in France; after lapse of twenty years, it again visit cd France with unabated fury, and after wards visited the countries on the Rhine, and ragged throughout Germany. Towards tine middle of the tenth century, it was very dis astrous in Austria and Italy. From this last period until the thirteenth century, there are no accessible records of it's operations. Dur ing the first half of the thirteenth century it broke out ill Hungary. and spread over near ly all the western states of Europe, but was especially destructive in Austria, Moravla and Elsaz. Towards the close of the SIX tteenth century, it was very wide spread, and unusually destructive in Italy and Hermany. It's most remarkable advent, however, vas during the eighteenth century; during this period it visited every portion of Europe, not executing isolated England and some por- 7tiou> twice or thrice; destroying in the ag-
