The XeStern Cattle Blindness.

The Kansas City Times, gives the fol
lowing particulars Of this disease rs 1t
has appeared in Jackson County
"In Independence there are thirty or
forty-some of them the finest kind of
animals-that have completely lost their
sight, and are now wandering about IN
pitiful helplessness. In Westport the dis
ease is spreading rapidly. Along down
the line of the Memphis and Kansas
City railroad the epidemic is raging, and
in Blue, Sin-a-bar and Lone Jack town
ships the reports come up very gloomlly
of the ravages of the strange affiiction.
In Kansas City there are not less than
two hundred blind cows. Some OF the
dairies have had, in the last week, fifteen
blind mixers at one time. The eyes
begin to swell little, lasting generally
from five days to two weeks. As soon
as the swelling commences the eyes also
begin to run clear water, Just as though
some hard and foreign substance was
beneath the lids. After the running
ceases, hard white film covers the eye
balls, completely destroying the sight.
The disease does not seem to affect the
general health of the COW. Her appetite
is as good as ever. There appears to
be no change either in the quality or
quantity of the milk, no pain, no uneasi-
ness of any kind, no peculiar thirst in
dicating fever, and, indeed, no symptom
that would indicate disease. The eyes
alone suffer and are destroyed.

The Famine in Persia.

A letter from n Persian convert to
Christianity, written on the 10th of June,
and just received by Rev. Reuben Je'
hangirshaw, Of San Francisco, says:
"Peace be unto you, my brother Our
country is now suffering the direst calam-
ity compared to which the situation of
France during the time, or before the
time of her surrender is trifie. Our
mothers and fathers are eating their own
children. Our husbands are doing the
same with their wives. Grown-up chill
dren are killing their younger brothers
and sisters, and, in some instances, their
fathers and mothers for food. Food,
food, is all the cry
The famine in the time of Pharoah Is
eclipsed Because we have no Joseph.
True, the neighboring countries have
contributed to- us what they can. But it
is not enough to feed our millions. We
did the same again and again when it
was our turn to do. God bless those
who will now pity us, and God grant the
great American nation will contribute
their mite to relieve us in our slltferings. y

The cost per mile for three foot
gauge with rails weighing thirty-tive
mounds nnr yard will be

The difference in favor of the narrow
gauge is 81, ,SSS per mile, or nearly one
half.
The third element of economy in favor
of the narrow gauge is the cost of roll
ing stock compared with carrying capa-
city.
For the standard gauge, box cars
weigh empty, 10 tons box car capacity
10 tons--Ur, for every pound OF paying
freight one additional pound of dead
weight must be carried. If to this we
add the cost of returning empty cars,
which enters more or less into the ex-
penses of transportation, it is safe to
estimate a loss of two-thirds of actual
transportation for dead weight.
For the narrow gauge, box cars weigh
q to tons, carrying capacity to 6
tons, or for two pounds of paying freight
there is to be calculated one of dead
weight.
The cost of returning empty cars Will
be much less than for same of standard
gauge, thus giving difference still
larger-in favor of the narrow roads.
Two other elements of economy-yet
in dispute among gengineers-ther relative
useful power developed in the small
engines of ten to fifteen tons, compared
with standard engines weighing twenty
five to forty tons-and the probable
duration of the superstructure from
diminished percussion will be discussed
hereafter.
The total cost, estimated from the best
data, of operating standard gauge rail
roads is seventy per cent of the gross
receipts, while on narrow gauge roads
this cost will not exceed fifty per cent.
Many of our present roads are unprotit-
able Investments, and very many of the
newly projected lines must be equally
improbable if constructed upon the
standard gauge, while those same lines,
it constructed on the narrow gauge,
would yield very satisfactory returns.
The statements here made are deemed
reliable, being made chiefly from actual
experience, and are certainly worthy the
careful attention of parties desiring to
construct new roads or remodel old ones.

Grains OF Gold.

A day of idleness tires more than q
week of work.
Love looks not with the eyes, out
with the mind
Right is dull weapon, unless skill
and good sense WELD it.
The man who never made mistake
never made a discovery
Those who praise you in the begin
ming, will ask favors in the end.
Physic, for the most part, is but q sub
stitute for exercise or temperance.
Vanity is Of much greater considefa-
ton with people generally than utility.
Opinions founded upon mere preju-
dice are always sustained with the great
est violence.
Pride is increased by ignorance those
who assume the most are those who usr-
ally know the least.
Genius has limits virtue has none,
every one pure and good can become
purer and better still.
The cultivation of the moral nature
in man is the grand means for the i'm
provement of society.
That conduct sometimes seems ridicu-
lous the secret reasons OF which may
perhaps be wise and solid.
A mind too active and vigorous wears
away the body, as the finest jewels do
soonest wear their settings.
Moral Nature. The cultivation of the
moral nature in man is the grand means
for the improvement of society.
We often omit the good we might do
in consequence of thinking about that
which it is out of our power to do.
There is no one so innocent as not to
be evil spoken of there is no one so
wicked as to merit all condemnation.
Duty and Safety.-It is one Of the
worst of errors to suppose that there is
any other path of safety except that OF
duty.
Every heart has its secret sorrow,
which the world knows not, and often
times we call man cold when he was
only sad.
A promise should be given with eau
ton and kept with care. 1t should be
made with the heart and remembered
by the head.
Day and night yield us contrary bles
sings, and at the same time assist each
other, by giving fresh lustre to the de,
lights of both.
There are men who, by long consult
ing only their own inclinations, have
forgotten that others have claim to the
same Difference.
Truthfulness is corner stone in char
acter and if it be not firmly laid il
youth, there will always be a weak spo
in the foundation.
Memory is patient camel, bearing
huge burdens over lifes sandy desert
Intuition is bird of paradise, drinking
in the aroma of celestial flowers.
Temper. Every human creature is
sensible to some intirmities of temper
which it should be his care to correct
and subdue, particularly in the early pc
riod of life.
Measure of Happiness. Sit is a great
blunder in the pursuit of happiness moi
to know that we have got it; that is, no
to be content with a reasonable and pos
sible measure OF 1t.
Improvement of Mind. The improve
ment of the understanding is for two
cnds-first, our own increase of knowl
edge secondly, to enable us to deliver
and make out that knowledge to others
Prudence. Be more prudent for YOU
children than, perhaps, you have beer
for yourself When they, too, are pa
rents, they will initiate you, and each Of
you will have prepared happy genera
tions, who will transmit, together with
your memory, the worship of your wis
| dom.

HrNDoo WEDpINas.-It seems that Ba-
boo Keshub Chunder Sen has undertaken
to introduce reforms in connection with
marriage among his countrymen, which
if continued by his sect and spread by it
may lessen the amount of female infan-
ticide, which has hitherto been common
among poor Hindoo families. At we'd
ding at Lucknow, the Baboo, acting as
high priest, asked the young pair separ-
ately if they married of their own accord,
then he prayed, and the sacred knot was
tied with the words, I" Your heart is mine
and mine is yours" This ceremony was
n great innovation, not less for the nov
elty of its form than for the simplicity
with which it was conducted. Formerly
the expense of weddings, which fell
chiefly on the brides father, was so great
that in order to conduct their household
affairs economically poor fathers killed
their daughters as soon as they were
born.

THEIR SHARE-Baron James de Roths-
child, during the Communist period in
Paris. was one morning seated in his
cabinet, when two fellows from the fau-
bourgs, armed to the teeth, entered and
asked to be shown in to citizen Roths-
child. "Gentlemen" he said, "What
can 1 do for you p well, this is what
we have to say. You have millions of
money, and the people want bread ; so
you must share, or if not "Share !?
France ?" "Perhaps thirty millions. +"
"And how much money do you suppose
I have? ?" "Say a hundred and fifty
millions" "Well, then, among thirty
millions that makes five francs head.
You are two here are ten francs for you,
and now we are quits. Ihe men were
so confounded by the argument and by
the rapidity with which the whole in
cident occurred that they took the
money and disappeared.

A Tragic End.

A United States Indian agent tells a
pathetic and tragical story of Standing
Buffalo, noted Indian chief. Buffalo
was friend of the whites, and refused
to take up arms against them. A party
of Yanctons came up to the encampment
of Standing Buffalo, and urged him to
ioin them in raid on the Gros Ventres.
They talked over the matter two days,
and offered Standing Buffalo four horses
and other presents if he would join them
and lead the party; but he refused,
stating that he had pledged his word to
me that he and none of his people
would 60 to war. The Yanctons abused
and derided him, and finally told him he
was a coward and no Chief if he listened
to the whites and refused to lead them
to war. At last Standing Buffalo be-
came wild with rage and excitement,
and declared he would go to war, but he
would go to die. He then made dis
position of all his horses, property and
other effects, giving everything away to
relatives and friends; counseled his
brother and son and the head men of

Runs OFF WITH CITIZEN. The pranks
of the devil fish are becoming frequent
of late. One of those horrible looking
creatures of the deep, whose appearance
in the waters of the Southern coast are
somewhat unfrequent, has been distin-
gushing himself lately by endeavorine
to spirit away an old resident of Savan'
nah On day Major Bonaud, was fishing
in Warsaw Sound, near Cabbage Island
his boat being anchored. BY some
means or other the devil fish became
entangled in the anchor rope and started
off at rapid rate of speed, towing the
boat after him, with the occupants in nc
very pleasant frame of mind. The situa.
ton became so decidedly unpleasant,
that it was thought best to cut the rope
and let the fish go fancy free. This was
accordingly done, much to the relief OF
the fishermen, and the creature took it,
way in peace.
