All Europe iu excited over the plague
which has broken out in Russia. 1t is
said to have been introduced by some
plumber stolen by a Cossack and brought
home by him when he returned from
campaigning.
The region now affected Is on the lower
Volga and Don rivers and extends up and
down the valley of the former $50 miles or
more. Astrakhan at the mouth Of the
river has as yet escaped and there is a
military Gordon around the infected dis
trict by which communication is shut of
so far as possible with the hope of keeping
the dread disease within its present limits.
The disease was at first supposed to be
some unusually malignant fever but devel-
ops itself into what has been in former
years know by the dread name of the
plague, which is itself, we suppose, dis
ease of the fever type but which is f.tal
beyond anything that ordinarily goes by
the latter name.
In former times nearly all the countries
of the eastern continent have been devas-
tated by this deadly epidemic and London
was little over POO years ago terribly
afflicted by it. Its later appearances in
western Europe have been farther to the
south; and it is hoped that with modern
precautions the present outbreak may be
confined to southeastern Russia where it
now has foot hold.

IMPORTANT TO PENsIoNERs.-The com.
missioner of pensions has issued circular
to all pensioners who will have claims
under the recent arrearages law, in which
they are distinctly informed that all cor
respondence in relation thereto will be with
the pensioners themselves, and that no
claim agent will be recognized in such
claim. A letter addressed to the commits
sioner Of pensions, Washington, signed by
the person who was in receipt of the pen
sion at the date of the passage of the bill,
and two witnesses, in the presence of Il
magistrate, will be the only application re-
quired, and is all that is necessary TO adjust
every claim. The pension certificate
should be sent TO Washington, but must in
every case be exhibited to the magistrate
who attests TO the letter. The commits
sioner suggests the following form for the
letter -
TO the Commissioner of Pensions:
|, pcnsioner under pension

AGE.-Old, Well it does take one S
breath away Must we all grow old? 1t
seems so. inc will not stand still. and
wrinkles and grey hairs mark his way.
Yes. physically we must grow old; but
mentally and emotionally need we become
so? doubt it. 4 great deal of splendid
work is done by people who have arrived
at the age when the faculties are supposed
to ftil,and think we all feel that we nav
hope 10 work all our lives. If we take
good care OF ourselves we may be worth
rs much until the end as we ever have
been; and with this comforting thought
comes another; the sweetness, the tender
ness Of youth need not depart with its
beauty. We are not compelled TO grow
bard and cold. to take stern views Of life
and refuse to believe in anything beautiful
because this is the rule set down for mid.
die aged and elderly people. Those who
keep their sweetness, who hold fast the
tenderness of their souls and are ardent in
friendship. are young still, whatever the
years that have passed over their heads

/ 1t is curious thing that the British
railroads so perseveringly refuse to adopt
the American method of connecting cars
and locomotive by check-cord. On this
side of the water no passenger train is run
without one. In England no train has
any such simple and effective device for
communicating with the engineer. while
the train is in motion, though occurrences
like the following. are constantly showing
the need oft:
A burglar was locked into ;hird-class
compartment of railway train with two
warders. But when about twelve miles

was no sooner done than he took dive

warders succeeded in catching him by
foot. For two miles he hung head down.
ward suspended by one foot and making
terrific struggles to free himself. In vain
he wriggled, for. although his captors
were unable to catch his other foot, both
held him as in vice till the boot came
off, when he fell heavily on the foot board
of the carriage and rolled off on the rail-
way. Three miles further on the train
stopped and the warders went back TO the
scene of the escape. They found the pris-
oner unconscious in the snow bleeding
from wound on the head. During the
lime he was struggling with the warders
the warder who had one hand free and the
passengers of the other compartments
who were Witnessing the scene from
the windows of the train were in
defatigable in their efforts to attract
the attention of the guard, but with no
result. For two miles the unfortunate
man hung head downward. and for three
miles further the train ran until it stopped
at an ordinary resting place. SANDERS
Irish Daily NtICS well says: "For twenty
years the public have cried aloud against
the absence of means of communication
between passengers, drivers and guards
of trains, and yet 10 this hour the evil is
staring us full in the face. Some compa-
MES have elaborate, costly, and scientific
apparatus, electric or otherwise, which the
ordinary passenger does not understand
and fears 10 touch; and yet there are
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of passen-
gers in this country who have travelled in
America and seen in operation there the
inexpensive, simple and efficacious plan
which our railway directors will not
adopt"

The report of the Senate committee on
epidemic diseases strongly inclines to the
opinion that neither the yellow fever nor
cholera is indigenous TO any part of the
United States and that great majority of
all diseases from which the country has
suffered resulted from importation. The
committee recommend as the best means
of prevention absolute non-intercourse
with countries where epidcmics exist dur
ing the time they SO exist. The next best
means are strict national quarantine and
observance of proper sanitary measures

and Oh entering the ports Of destination.
