The BosToN JUBILEE.-Whilc there
iss conflict Of opinion among the critics
in regard TO the details of the gigantic
musical combination Rt Boston, the fact
is conceded that many ofthe effects pro,
duced are thrilling and sublime. The
Jubilee is called, in turn, a musical earth
quake, hurricane, and the surging Of
an ocean tide, while one enthusiastic cor
respondent declares that its majesty Of
sound transports the audience to the
presence of the assembled ages.%g2. Such
ladguage seems extrayagant buttthe
unprecedented; combination Of varied
musical talent apparently exercises q
marvellous influence upon the susceptible
portions Of the audience, and we read Of
tempests Of applause, wild excitements,
desfeniHg bursts Of cheers and shouts,
Olmen and women in tears, and Of various
other indications OF intense feeling and
enthusiasm.

off the new proaaic Pacific slope of our own

vealed in gems and precious metals Schulz
lates through the brains of eager lortune-
hunters, and only the stability OF our young

ease does not exist. Russia, Germany anu
Great Britain are the regions to which these
conditions apply. Instructions have been sent
to the customhouse officers at all the entry
ports of the United States to see that no cattle
or hides are.landed without the required con-
sular certificate. The cattle disease In Eng
land Is every day giving new cause OF anxiety
in that country. Such have been Its ravaRes
that a prohibitory order has been issued by
the Lord Justices and Prlvy Council OF Ire
land, which country Ii free from the disease,
torbidding, until the 14th OF November next,
The landing in Ireland of all cattle, sheep
goats and swine from England and Germany,
also of all skins, hides, horns, hoofs and ofal
from the same countries, under the penalty ol
a fine not exceeding a hundred dollars for
each offence. In France q decree OF the MID
lister Of Commerce prohibits the Importation
and transport OF horned cattle and fresh hides
and offal from the steppes, and also from Rus
ala. North Germany, Austria, Hungary, and the
Dsnublan Principalitles. Spain and Alglers
are the only countries exempt from these
measures. 1t will be Interesting to observe
how far, in countries now entirely free from
the disease, these preventives are successful.
One case is reported in England which does
not fit the conLagion theory-thst LIS Of a coW
inhsbiling a field by herself, and thought to be
perfectly isolated, but stricken with the dis
ease. It would seem. however, that If quar-
sntine regulations are efficient In protecting
men against the cholera and yellow fever, the
rinderpest can be also kept out by proper
vigilance. With reasonable care by CUSTOM
house officers apd local authorities there need
be no apprehension that the foot and mouth
disease will cross the ocean and effect an en-
trance in this country, which Is, moreover,
too large and sparsely settled 10 favor the
spread IF the cattle dislemper through 1t. The
st. Louis papers have mentioned a cattle dis
ease as occasionally appearing among the
Texas herds driven to that city, but this seems
10 be totally different from the foot and mouth
malady, though perhaps quite as fatal.

Laws derive their force from public
opinion. Without such sanction they are
null. A general consensus demands their
execution at the peril Of those who are
charged with that duty; otherwise they lie
dead In the statute book. Laws which nav
become obsolete may be superseded by
enactments more In accordance with pub
lic sentiment. But it often happens that
the public, satisfied with the defnnct statute,
or Indifferent TO the Preparations OF what
was once considered a crime, LIZ slow to de-
mand the passage OF a new law. In such
case, there being In effect NO law, it is the
part of the wise legislator to frame a law
which shall, OF nearly as possible, express
the public opinion as to what penalty, II
auy, should be inflicted upon the special
offenders. The task ID sometimes q dif1cult
one.
Take for instance the crime OF murder
and the recent decision OF the Laura Fair
iury In San Francisco. Clearly an eye for
an eye is mo longer exacted, and the wilfal'
deliberate killing Of man by q woman is
not punishable. What then is the precise
sentiment Of the American public on this
pointa Not that murder cannot, under any
circumstances, be committed by q woman.
A woman may murder another woman. She
may murder q man, though this Is almost
impossible. For the killing of an American
male BY an American female to rise to the
height OF murder, it is necessary that the
female should be wholly u~nac9uainted with
her victim. II abe has known him before,
however slightly, she may plead love 10
her exclamation Of her guilt, and that Is
tantamount to an acquittaL. by whom
"was this man slain ?" "By a woman"
"Under what p%rovocation I" ':None, earth
'ly." "Why, that is murder in the first de.
sgree." '.Not at all She loved him 80"
This Is American. opinion. Can a law be
