THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. = The cattle
plague committee of the British House
of Commons have agreed in their re-
port to recommend that all importa-
tions from Germany, Russia and Bel
GUM be absolutely prohibited; that
cattle imported from all other countries
be killed at the place Of landing; that
stock in metropolitan markets should
only be removed for slaughter; that all
movements of cattle in the infected dis
tricts be prohibited; that fairs and
markets be stopped; that infected
farms be subjected to quarantine
that compensation for pleuro- pneu-
monia be the same as for the cattle
plague, and that all cattle-sheds in
towns be subjected to registration and
inspection. Notwithstanding these
stringent measures the disease is on the
increase in London and environs. So
Infectious is the disease it is dangerous
for cattle to pass infected districts or to
breathe the air Of hay or straw from
those districts, or to drink from pools or
fords where diseased cattle have strayed.
Sheep may convey by their wool the
disease, and wool from foreign coun-
tries should be carefully kept from con-
tact with anything likely to carry dis
ease when imported from countries
where the disease exists. Hoofs, horns,
etc., and clothing of men employed to
slaughter diseased cattle will also con-
vey infection.

CAFES CLAIMANTS AT BUCHAREST.

The charms of slang, obscenity and
song are potent in the gay Roumanian
capital. Every night the cafes cltantants
are thronged with the best people in
the city. Even Cabinet ministers are
there not unfrequentiy, and Prince
4 corr spea dent ef the Manchester
Examiner sketches him with free
hand. On the benefit night Of Mile.
Fanelly, who is a great favorite in Bu-
charest, the Prince sat at a little table
with three young ladies Of the troupe,
with his arm passed Familiarity around
the waist OF the prettiest one. He Was
dressed in a black coat, aud his eyes
were brilliant with malice. He even
went so far as to escort two OF his COM
panions from the garden after the per-
formance, and to bow to the wife Of a
Roumanian minister. A very lively old
gentleman is the Russian Chancellor.

THE COLORADO BEETLE IN ENGLAND

There is rage in England for collect
ing specimens of the Colorado beetle.
An enthusiast in Manchester has placed
nearly hundred Of them in an open
garden, and is feeding them with va
rious kinds Of fruit and vegetables, with
view to ascertaining the kind OF diet
which they prefer. Now, there is no act
Of Parliament by which man can be
restrained from maintaining any insect
for which he may have a fancy, and
hence this Manchester gentleman can
go on feeding his beetles with strawber-
ries and vegetable marrows as long as
he likes and they remain. There is q
high fence around the garden, and the
entomologist is confident that his insect
friends will not try their wings, but
there is panic in the agricultural dis
tricts. 1t is said that these enterprising
immigrants are travelling by post in in
nocent looking pill boxes to all quarters
Of the United Kingdom.

THE SCHIPKA PASS.

TIE Pal Mall Gazette of July 25, says
'"The Schipka Pass. taken by the Rus
slams on the 10Th inst, connects the
town of Tirnova with Kasanlik. The
general direction of the road after leav-
ing Tirnova is somewhat to the west
ward of south until it reaches Grabova,
some thirty-Iive miles distant from the
former place. At Grabova the road
crosses the Jantra by stone bridge,
and thence, running almost due south,
ascends toward the pass Of Schipka
This latter is described by Won Moltke
as being formed by two deep valleys in
which the Jantra and the Schipka take
their rise, with high and very narrow
ridge between them. A very steep des-
cent then leads to the village Of Schipka,
The latter village was entered by Gen.
Gourko, with the troops which had
crossed the Balkans by the Hainkoi
track, two days before the assault was
made upon the Schipka Pass. Conse-
quently, when the attack was made on
the 10Th, the defenders Of the pass were
taken both in front and in rear, in front
by the O.loff regiment and artillery ad-
vancing from Grabova, in rear by Gen.
Gourko's force operating from Schip-
ka. Formidable works had been con-
structed to resist the attack from the
north, and these, apparently, enabled
the Turks to withstand the first on
slaught made on the 18th, when the Or
va, lost eleven officers and more than
200 men, but the rear of the defenders
being unprotected, they were obliged to
evacuate their position as soon as the
advance from the village Of Schipka was
DEVELOPED"

JUDGE WEST INTERPRETs HIS LABOR
REFORM SPEECH.
[Cincinnati Commercial Interview. ]


Personally, have supposed it prac-
ticable in the operation of our great
railroad thoroughfares and mines to ad-
just, by voluntary agreement between
employer and employe, kind OF slid
ing scale OF compensation, whereby the
latter might receive q certain agreed
minimum Of compensation for a stated
period, and in addition thereto certain
agreed percentage Of the net earnings
and profits realized during the same
period. [ do not know that such sys-
understand it to have been successfully
applied in some Of the great Industrial
establishments Of England and also Of
this country, and have, therefore,
believed that IL our railroad cor
porations could apply some similar plan
to the solution ofsthe existing labor
problem, by which they are now so much
EN- barrassed, all the differences between
themselves and their employees might
be amicably and satisfactorily adjusted.
Some Of them have already adjusted on
the promise that il their future receipts
justify it the compensation shall be in
creased; but this leaves matters open
to future controversy. An agreement
to pay stipulated percentage OF the
profits In addition to the fixed minimum
compensation would give greater assur-
ance to the employe that he would GER
tainly receive such additional remune-
ration in the event of the company's
ability to pay, while rendering him en-
tirely content with the failure to receive
it in the event OF disability. These are
only personal opinions Of my own, for
the utterance Of which no one is respon-
sible but myself. III /, as the operator
of railway, had the power to apply
these suggestions in practice, should
certainly try the experiment, for The
laborer is undoubtedly worthy OF his
hire. All this, however, should be vol
the scope of legislative jurisdiction.

THE MISSOURI BOTTOMS.

The bottoms of the Missouri river at
Omaha are being rapidly washed away.
The Omaha Bee says: "The river at
the cutoff runs almost east and west,
striking the Nebraska bank, along
which the current travels with great
rapidity in somewhat southeasterly
direction, undermining the loose sand
and mud, causing it to constantly drop
in large blocks into the stream. The
liveliest cutting is being done just above
where the old cottonwood trees stood.
Yesterday stake was set up, and the
distance from it to the water was meas
ured, and this morning it was found
that over forty feet had been swept
away in twenty-four hours. A reporter
of the Bee visited this spot this morn
ing, and, by actual count, saw ten large
blocks of earth tumble into the river
within one minute, though the average
may be less than that. About twenty
feet Of the bank in this particular vi
cinity was washed out this morning. A
big hole is being made in this locality" !"

correspondent at Vienna sends the following
of Of ths en In tae

Eighth Corps, appointed to support them, is
echeloned between Selvi Brenova and Tir-
nova. A division of the Eleventh Corps oc-

TURKISH VIEWS OF THE EASTERN
WAR.

A correspondent of the London Times
at Alexandria, Egypt, writing on July
Is, says: ''Some three or four days ago
I had occasion to visit on matter of
business one of the better class OF Turk
ish officials, who has held at different
times the positions of Governor OF Alex
andria, Minister of Foreign Affairs ad
interim and Minister of Justice. AS you
probably are aware, all our high admin
istrative posts are held not by Egyp-
tians, but by Turks. In transacting
business with an Oriental it is matter
Of etiquette for both parties to avoid
as long as possible any mention OF
the object of the visit, and as the
weather here is not sufficiently change
able to afford even Briton excuse for
remark, [ soon found myself discussing
the question of the day-the war. A.
big map laid open before the pasha, who
pointed me out Kars with considerable
pride, taking care to inform me that it
was not SO small as it looks on the map.
A reference on my part to the presence
of Sir Fenwick Williams at the former
siege did not meet with the success /
had expected. every likely, very likely,
there are Englishmen everywhere-all
over the place." and another Turk
present borrowed from Scripture an un-
complimentary comparison 1Or my coun-
trymen, and told me that the
English went to and fro like 'shei-
TAM arabic for Satan) hims elf.
An unfortunate reference to Besika
Bay brought upon me fire of good
natured chaff (if it is not profane to ap.
ply such term to the pleasantly OF
sober Osmanlis). why was the fleet
going back there repeated the pasha.
Because there was good shooting said
one. Was it to protect the Christians
again?' asked another. Because they
find we are getting on too we'll without
them, said third. Because you want US
more than we want you, said fourth,
and their final triumph was to
show me o caricature In
the Stamboul Punch, where
John Bull as ninepin was in danger of
being toppled over by Turkey, a second
ninepin, who was being bowled at by
Russia. AS / came away met an Arab
OF the better fellah class, who was down
from the interior to sell his wheat, and
curious to compare notes, | tried to get
him on the same subject. His summary
Of the Eastern question was amusingly
brief and comprehensive. Allah ia
great, the Murki (Russians) are damned.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS.
NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1877

terday a largely attended meeting was
quietly conducted on each side of the
city for the purpose Of taking the pre-
liminary steps for the perfect organiza-
ton Of the Workingmen' party
throughout the city. The work of or
ganization will be in each of the cleo
toral districts. A State convention is
proposed, but the time for holding the
same has not yet been designated. The
organization will be on the same plan as
ether political parties. A national con-
vention is to be held and the executive
committee is now determining whether
it shall be held in Boston, New York or
Chicago, all three Of which places have
been proposed.
