THE PLAGUE.

Notwithstanding all the efforts OF the Rus
sian government the plague is rapidly spread
Ing over the domains Of the Car. week
ago 1t was reported at Mini Novgorod: to-
day the cable tells US it has reached Moscow.
In the very heart OF Russia. This disease has
appeared often before in Europe, but it has
never marched with such rapidity as this. Its
progress has always been slow but sure. To-
day 1t is different. To the building of rail.
roads in Russia and the consequent lessening
OF time between the various cities of that en-
pire, this is doubtless due. The plague no
longer travels, as Eugene Sue so POLITICALLY
represented it, with the slow steps OF broken
down old man; it travels to-day by express.
There seems to be determined effort on
tne part OF the various European countries to
prevent the further spread of this disease.

INVASION. A Joint commission has already

The Chinese question has broken out In Aus.
tralia, and an anti-Chnese movement, similar
to that engineered by Kearney in California, is
going on there. The workingmen of Austria
liza seem to have taken the matter In hand
early, and to have gone about 1t even more
energetically than Kearney's followers. In
one province Of Australia, Queensland, there
Is no hope Of getting rid OF the Chinese: they
have literally overrun the country, and
hold 1t as their own. In some portions Of
OF Queensland the Celestials number twenty
to one white man, and are yearly pouring
in fresh hordes. The workingmen Of the
ether provinces are determined to protect
themselves in time from this fate, and have
therefore organized anti Chinese associations
throughout the country, and are now moving
heaven and earth to drive away every Mon
golian. They have secured a tax on each i'm
ported Celestial, that will do much to prevent
any further Chinese immigration, and are
seeking to drive those already with them out
Of the country by pledging themselves to
work for no man or corporation who employs
any Chinese laborers.

Russian border; the Russian railroad lines
have also been quarantined by Austria
Prussia. 1t lie stated, will establish military
quarantine along It's border, and place a force
OF $4,000 men there to prevent the ingress of
any person affected with this terrible disease.
These are stringent measures, and II there Is
any way OF stopping the disease they ought
to do It.
Inc plague now prevailing In Russia is iden-
tical with that which ravaged Italy In the days
o. BoccaclO and London in those OF Defoe. 1t
is q lOathesome and hideous diease. The face
and body breaks out in carbuncles and scabs.
The eyes grow red and muddy the tongue
thickly coated, the skin hot and dry. The
worse cases terminate In twenty-four hours.
Some, however, linger on for two weeks. SO
far, but very small proportion of those who
have been taken sick In Russia have recovered.
1t Is singular coincidence that this disease,
and In fact all epidemics, whether In Europe
or America, always occur soon after an out
break of the yellow fever in this city. This
has been frequently noticed, and would seem
to show that when the air here is SO poisoned
as to produce the fever, 1t is equally poisoned
elsewhere, so as to develop other epidemic
diseases.
The present plague In Russia is attributed
to the late Turco-Russian war, and the i'm.
mense numbers of bodies left to rot on the
plains OF Bulgaria. A disease that was sup
posed to be typhus broke out among some oil
the Russian regiments serving In Bulgaria
They were taken back to Russia, and
spread the disease there. TWAS some time
before 1t was known to be the plague, and II
was then too late to prevent Its further
spread. 1t was but two months ago that the
prevalence of the disease at Astrakhan was
first announced. In this short period 1t has
iourneyed through half the Russian Empire
At this rate 1t will not be many weeks before
it reaches the borders OF Austria and Ger
many. We can then see whether the precau
tons taken by these powers will avert this
terrible evil from Western Europe and Amer
