The Texas Cattle Fever.

A Blue Book, recently issued in England
contains, with other useful information. nm
excellent report on the Texas cattle fayer. by
Professor Brown. This report is of far NOR,
importance to the stockmen of this country
than TO those of Europe, because there il for
less danger OF tho disease being carried across
the Atlantic than of its being communicated
TO cattle In our northern states. The infor.
nation given IN Professor Browns renort
may be consider d as entirely Trustworthy. as
II has been obtained from the report of the
pennsylvania board of agriculture, the
writings OF Professor Law, Professor Gam.
gee and other equally eminent authorities.
as frof: Brown has given in his report the
most concise and complete epitome of the
pathological characteristics of the Texan
cattle fever we have seen, we COPY II entire
for the benefit Of our readers, all of whom,
we hope, will preserve it for future refer.

movement of diseased cattle from the in,

The disease never survives the frosts nj

winter months do not transmit it.
Texan cattle suffer very little from the dis

cattle, which are said to be incapable O.

de6ued sympto of illness lasting several
days before the animal dies.
Enlargement of spleen, and often also Of

Hemorrhage, erosians, and liberation in diff

digestive organs.
Absence Of the bacillus snthrscis in the
blood.
Tho pathological characteristics of this
Texas fever are quite different from all other
diseases of similar contagious nature. In
one sense, it is not Il purely contagious dis
case, like splenic fever, cattle plague, or the
foot and mouth disease of Europe: it is
readily communicated to cattle that come in
contact with the virus, but it stops there, and
herd Of northern cattle taking the disease
are Incapable of communicating it to other
herds even in the immediate neighborhood
! The life of the virus seems TO be exhausted
or to perish with its first victims in the north,
while it may pass from one animal to another
in the south without causing death 10 any of
the native stock. In this respect the Texas
70 er may be considered unique, and may be
placed in class by itself.
This is so, for at home here We seldom
hear the subject mentioned. For years past,
the legislatures of northern states have been
worrying over finding some loophole in the
constitution guaranteeing free trade between
the states to dovetail n law preventing the
entrance of Texas cattle into their borders.
Missouri tried it but was overrued by the
first federal judge who got chance at the
enactment Professor James law recon.
| mends that congress should pass q law in
order that prevention should be enforced by
United States law, and that no gulf coast
cattle should be moved north excepting after
the first frosts of autumn, or before the
last frost of spring, Then would the traffic
be safe for oil the north, The time would
vary for the different states, but the earlier
or lister traffic for the extrene north should
be by direct route without intermediate un-
loading. A general restriction of this sort
with the expense levied on all the states
would be more economical and satisfactory
than supervision by each state of its own
frontier" All of which is in the
teeth of the federal constitution, and there.
| fore nonsense. That instrument will have
to have special amendment before a single
citizen can be prevented from driving cow
to any portion of the union he may want to-
There is unnecessary noise made about the
fever, for, as Professor Brown says, it is only
contagious in summer weather, and we do
not export cattle at that time.

A Virtue Of the Flea. .

Sooner or later every creature finds an
advocate. Now appears from Armenia a
much-traveled Briton, by the name of
Capt. Creagh, and loudly sings the sooth-
ing, sopori6c virtue of the wicked flea.
This astounding wanderer assures us, as
Of his personal experience, that in Ar
menia at least 'the crawling of insects,
from the crown of the head to the soles
Of the feet, is SO lethargic, and, like the
action of shampooing, SO soothing to the
limbs of the weary traveller, that the in
slant the Aeas have covered his body in
as great multitude as the ants of an
ant-heap, he, with smile of peace and
satisfaction on his face, drops gently into
profound and refreshing s1umbers. An
English consul, after long residence in
Armenia, having retired to his native
country on pension, had become SO ac-
custo1ned to the Aeas that he was unable
to sleep without them, and his house
maid always carried . snuff box full up
stairs and put them into his bed with
the warming pan."

Odd Implements Of Arson
From the N. Y. Times.]


A large wire ring strung with pieces of
dried Goldfish is one of the curious relics
Of fires that Chief Engineer Thomas F.
Nevins, Of the Brooklyn fire department
possesses. "The story of that relic"
he said recently, evil tell one of the
most ingenious attempts at arson I have
ever heard of. We had an alarm of fire
one night from the clothing store of
man who had locked up and gone with
friend to the theatre. The fire was un-
der considerable Roadway, but we ex-
tinguished it while it was yet confined to
the store. In making our search for the
the cause we found the bodies of three
dead cats, a broken kerosene lamp upon
the floor near the counter, and this ring
of wire and dried fish.
"There had been no fire in the store,
and there was but one explanation of the
mystery of the fires origin. The cats
were much emaciated, and the pieces
of fish were partly eaten. Now, whatdo
you think we concluded? Why, that
man, trying to get his insurance, had in
vented an ingenious plan of having the
cats set fire to the store while he, accom-
panied by a witness, was at the theater.
By starving the cats for two or three
days he got them into condition to at
tack any food with ardor. Then he
placed the kerosene lamp close to the
edge of his counter, and put this wire
hoop strung with fish around the lamp.
As he went away he released the cats,
and when they found the fish, the only
food in the place, they began to pull at
it, and naturally pulled the lamp off the
counter. When it struck the floor it
broke, the fame met oil, and there was
a fire. I never had proof enough to
cause the mans arrest, although myself
convinced of his guilt, but preserved
his curious device, thinking, perhaps, to
hear from him again in this line at some
future time. -
81 have also in mind another clothing
dealer, whose method of creating fire
was to heat stove red hot, leave open
the hampers and then turn on all his gas
jets. In the course of the night there
was an explosion, and we had one more
accidental fire where the facts all pointed
to arson. ezst..s. s-.-y

THE LITIZ INFANT.

The Coroncr's Inquest and other Particulars.
We noticed yesterday that a child had
been found in privy at Litiz. The coroner
yesterday investigated the case and held an
inquest. The child, which was female,
belonged to Maria Felter, single woman,
who for over year has lived in the family
Of DR.. Huebner at Litiz. On Tuesday the
girl complained of feeling ill and she went
into the water closet after supper. While
there the child was born and it fell down The
cess-pool. The girl Immediately ran to the
house and alarmed the folks. Search was
made, and the child, which was alive when
born, according to the girls statement, was
found dead. The coroner summoned a
jury composed OF Edward S. Sturgs, J. S.
Welter, II. II. Tshudy, l.. S. Hacker, II.
ii. Ielman and A. B. Reidenbach. and
held an inquest. The verdict was as fol-
lows: "The child came to its death by
having dropped into cess-pool at its
birth. The jury find that the child lived
and that the mother made known the fact
of the birth of the said child. but not in
time to save it's life.
