The report Of Professor Gsmgee, Of Eng
Esk nxttla plague celebrity, npon the ravages
among the herds throughout the West, has
5ust been completed, and cont aims the follow
.ipg points The origin of the disease is found
Ir,the uss Of, the Young succulent shoots of
pecnlar trees, highly charged with astringent
yprmciples. Native cattle, he states, do not
/ seommunicate the disease to other native cat
.Ra. All evidence shows that it is only to be
sslen through direct contact with the enewly
:luported Texan herds, or continuity to their
seamets. And not springing Fl ON any specific

ground for believing that we are not threaten

Wau-ne-pe-wink-a pretty Bird), at La Crosse,
Wis, is narrated as follows: She was stand

lass children, waiting the arriv al Of the train,
uhen one Of the little ones got upon the track.
Seeing its danger, the moth er, regardless of
ker.own Life, sprang forward and snatched the
-eAild from the very jaws Of dea tn. She threw
Che little one upon the platform, but it was too
Hsts to save herself. The rushing locomotive
caught her blanket and threw her upon the
track. The wheels caught her foot, run over
ii, crushing the bones to atoms, tearing off the
aesh and making Irightful wound. The bone
w to the knee was splintered. Such an injury
could not but be excruciating ly painful, yet the
Indian mother, with wonderful nerve, drew her
knife from her b.lt, and cutting off the loosely.
langing flesh, washed the Imb aad bound ii
up With her own hands, refusing all assistance.
"A physician was called, who recommended
smputstion as the only possible way in which
to save her life. She refused to have the ope-
ration performed, modification took place, and
death soon after ensued.
