wcare glad to SEQ you, John Marshall, my

SO fresh from tho ohscl of Rogers
So take your stand OIL the monument there.
Along with the other old codgcrs.
With Washington, Jefferson, Mason, 'and

Who sinncd with great transgresson,
In the old fashion notions Of freedom and

And their hatred of wrong and opprcs-

But you've como rather late to your pcdcs.
lal, John;
Things are much changed since you've
been here,
For the volume you hold is no longer the

= And this is no longer Virginia.
The old Marshall law, you expounlcd Of
yore,
Is no longer at all TO the purpose;
Aud the ''martial law of the new brigadicr
Is stronger than hobeas co,l,..s.
SO shut up the volume you hold with such
care
For the days Of tic law are over
And ii needs all your brass to be holding il
there,
With Justice inscribed on tho cover.
Could life awaken 'tha limb of bronze,
And blaze in the FURNISHED eye,
What would yc do with n moment Of life,
Yo men of the days gone by?
Would yo chide us or pity us, blush or
weep,
lc men Of The days gone by ?
Would Jefferson tear up the ocroll he holds,
That time has proven ~ iic
Would Marshall shut up the volume OF law,
Aud lay it down with II sigh
Would Mason roll UP the Bill Of Rights,
From n race unworthy 10 scan Il.
And Henry dash down nc patriots sword,
And clang it against the granite?
Aud Washington, seated in massy strength,
On his charger that paws The air, ~
Could he see his sons in their dcep die.

The CATTLE PLAGUE IN THE EST NJ
Chicago Times contains very long and elaoof-
ate account of the origin, rise and progress OF
the recent cattle plague in the West, together
with n,onv more or. less ingenious theories pro-
fess;no' - account for it. Among other things
thaTmes savs tie disease has been known in
Texas and Mexico for thirty years as Spanish
fever" that it is impaired only by actual con-
tact or massage over the trail Of the diseased
TEXAS cattle, and that native cattle are ineapa-
bic of affecting each other. 1t announces the
virtual determination of all the cattle around
Tolono, and says that the range of country
afflicted with the disease during the present
season has been in reality quite small, extend
ing nowhere off the line of the Illinois Central
railroad
The theories are as follows: aef
First. That it is a common complaint:
Second. That it is contagious fever.
Third. That it is Infectious but not eonta-
gious : ;.
Fourth. That it's the result Of non, accl-
nation.
Fifth. That it is caused by ticks Or parasites;
and, lastly, that it is the effect of some poison

deposited there by the mouths or by the boots
