THE RINDERPEsT.-An inspector of
the Health Department of the District of
Columbia reports that he has found cows
suffering from the rinderpest on a farm
near Washington. He suggests an imme-
date and careful inspection Of the COW
yards in the vicinity of that city. Ifthey
really have rinderpest in the vicinity of
Washington, they should take pains to con-
fine it there The cattle should be closely
cOrralled, aud the disease stamped out at
once By every means, including the i'm
mediate killing of the cattle. This may
require heavy first cost, but cattle own
ers in the neighborhood and elsewhere will
find it infinitely the cheapest in the long
run.

GRAZING VS.. GRAIN FARMING-Thc
ST. JIichaels Conlet deems it of sufficient
Importance for special mention, that far
mer of that county has determined to
abandon grain culture for grazing, thinking
it more profitable. If he were to pass
through this region he would find num-
Der of grazing farms, but we believe they
all produce sufficient grain and hay for
their own use. 1t appears to be the
opinion, among grazers, that grazing farms
require less labor, make more money, and
return to the soil 10 the form of manure
what is taken from it. 1t is easier, there
fore, to keep grazing farm in good con-
dition.

At the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the
heads of the several Departments present
ed their estimates for the next fiscal year.
These estimates, it is said, are reduced to
the lowest practicable figures, owing to
the decline in the revenue, and the aggre-
gates, except deficiency in the POst-Ofice
Department and increased expenditures in
the Indian Bureau, viii not vary mate
rally from the appropriations for the pres
ent fiscal year. So there viii be no re-
trenchment, after all that has been said
upon the subject, unless the House of
Representatives should again cut down the
appropriations below the Department esti-
mates. Indeed, there is demand for an
increased sum of money for the Post-office
Department, and for the Indian Bureau.
This is the retreRchment promised from
Washington only short time since.

Waiting music sweeter far,

Or song gives her brightest star.

And I stand and gaze once more.

Round the porch and open door.
Hills and vallies sweeter mingle,
Brooklets trip along more light,
And the robin sings more joyous.
And the lilies bloom more white.

Rosy hopes and budding blossoms
That Times sorrows cannot blast.
