Shah Of Persia has placed every possible him
drance in the way Of the movements Of pilgrims,
who have hitherto been carrying the pesti1ence
with them and spreading it at their own Will.
II. Papillon thinks that the most danger is to be
feared from the Russian side. Turkey and Rus
sia between them ara powerless to effect any sort
of quarantine. The railways defy control White
about 30 peraons dzembark daily at Odessa
and are placed in quarantine, about 400 arrive by
rail and enter the town uncontrolled, ana the
same is true of Turkey. Thera is vigorous
quarantine for all who come by water, and tbs
result is that travellers go from Russia to that
country by rail, although it is longer distance
As the Russo-Turkish system Of railroads Is be-
ing rapidly Developed it is easy to see that it Is
only furnishing greater facilities for the speed OF
the peatilence. Unless some form Of railroad
quarantine is established, the world is being
daily brough. into nearer contact with the birth

Absence.

The new President of Mexico gives some hope
that that country is about to lay aside it's revo-
lutionary practices. For the first time in its
history, the President WAS elected without oppo-
sition. Ordinarily, there are half dozen, and
often more, aspirants, each of whom always
claims to have been elected, and forthwith re-
sorts to ar1ns to enforce his so-called rights.
The late President Juarez had five competitors
at the election in June, 1871, and up to the day
Of his death these five men we're at the head Of
as many revolutionary bands, seeking to depose
him, and at the same time pil1aging and plum
dering the country. Upon the death Of Juarez,
the Chief Justice became temporary President,
and has since been elected without oppo-
sition, all Of the rivals Of the late President
burying their pretensions in his grave. Tie
new President has evidently heard Of the scheme
to establish an American protectorate over Mex
leo, and it is just possible that the unanimity
that prevails in Mexico at this time may be due
in some measure to tile alarm felt at the threat
ened absorption OF that Republic by the United
States. Certain it is that the revolutionary
spirit that has prevailed there for 30 many years
has become quiet, and Mexico has become united
as against some exterior and common danger.

Brigham Young has taken a new departure.
While the people Of the United States hare been
busy with their political campaign, grand for
ward movement has been made among the Nor
mons. in the establishment Of mission at Jeru-
salem, to which the intractable Saints are to be
sent. The first colony has already left New
York for the Holy Land, headed by ''George A.
as he is known in Utah, and Miss Eliza Roxy
Snow, who vas the spiritual wife Of "Joseph,"
and since, by proxy, the "wife" Of Brigham
Young. With them are associated Ferryittle,
Young's nephew, and several others. The OBJ
iect Of Young is to resuscitate Mormoni sm in
Utah by getting rid Of those who do not agree
with him, and, at the same time, he may have
