the Polish race which flow in from every
part of the Russian Empire. General Kauf-

TO become Russians from the sole of their
feet to the tip of their tongues, or, if they
want 10 be Poles, to be of at once and emf
CRATE to some Russian country. The
towns-people, most Of whom are Poles, are
ineXOrably fined for any words In their ma

IL is most shameful for them to be heard
speaking any thing but the language sancti-
fled by the Imperial decree abolishing serf-
dom, having been composed In It.
1t is in keeping with this injunction that
all instruction In these provinces must be
Impaired In Russian, and that the teachers

The fact that the cattle plague is increas-
ing with fearful rapidity IL England, gives
additional Importance to the bin passed by
Congress prohibiting the importation of
foreign cattle. During the past month the
number of cattle attacked by this plague
in England has advanced from I4,O00 to
upward of 1900, and the deaths 90 up
ward of 2l,O00. Between the 4th and lIth
Of November the number OF cases increased
by fifty per cent. In the ensuing week
things were not quite so bad, but there was
a further increase STILL The London Times
assumes that the deaths, instead of 700 a
week, are at least four times that number,
and If winter does not bring change for
the better, the losses may be- 1000 on 5000
week before Christmas. At this rate meat
must soon rise to famine prices In Eng
land, and should the murrain reach our
shores, the result will be most unfortunate.
The exclusion Of foreign cattle Is a wise
measure, and may prevent the introduc-
tlon of the dreaded plague IN this country.
A similar measure was adopted in Ireland,
and up TO this date that country has es-
capped from the infiiction. PAilddelphid
