Lung Plague OF Cattle.

PROF. JAMES LAW, in a very valu-
able paper of observations on ''Pleuro-
pneumonia Contagiosa Bovina," shows
that it has occasioned n loss in the
British isles, for forty years, of no less
than 80, 900, 900 per annum In this
country, the direct losses from the dis
ease, the depreciation of our beef in
the English market, and many other
i~ncidentals, are estimated at $1,000
00J per annum, ''althOugh the plague
has invaded as yet" says Prof. Law,
but the merest fragment Of our inn
mense territory" Should it extend to
Texas. the Mississippi Valley, and the
plains. regions much warmer than En-
gland and favOring its more rapid
spread, an annual loss of fifty or sixty
millions might well be feared. Prof.
l.. treats with just severity the feeble
measures adopted in some of the States
for the suppression of the disease. He
says ''sOme of the officials claim
special credit FIR outstanding the coun-
try's money, and it is claimed that
Pennsylvania has expended less than
$4,000 in indemnities for slaughtered
cattle. In place of a vigorous plan of
extinction, founded on an intimate
knowledge of the plague, and which
bars all channels for its further diff
fusion, while the infection that is al
ready in existence has been
lessIy stamped Out, they adopt measures
that are defective at every step, and,
while they restrict the pestilence at
one point, they actually favor its
spread to other parts of their territory,
and to that of their neighbors. They
cut down a few shoots that have al
ready grown up into plants, but paw no
attention to the %incessant sowing of the
same noxious seed going on all around
them. They save a few thousand dol
lars to their respective States. but per-
petuate the lung plague or the m
tinent, and are endangering its spread
to the Southern and Western cattle
ranges, at a prospective loss of S5O.-
900. 600 per anuum." During the past
year the disease has been virtually
rooted out of the seven lower counties
of the State Qeaving Brooklyn by the
slaughter of 1,4OO diseased or infected
cattle, and Prof. Law urges the execu-
ton of the work in a sharp and de-
cisive manner-which, however. is
likely to prove a failure without the C
operation of Brooklyn Con- TRY Gen.

The CrOzet Islands.

THE Chaplain of the British naval
vessel Comus. thus describes his visit to
the Crozet Islands, a group in the In
dian Ocean: The sensation on landing
was like that probably experienced by
Robinson Crusoe. The birds and other
animals did not dread man. and did
not move out of our way. We found
three kinds of penguins-the jackass
penguin, the king penguin, and the
crested penguin. They stalk about in
troops like a school or q regiment of
soldiers; they pecked at our legs IS we
walked along, and their tactics quite
puzzled our large Spanish dog. who
barked at them, but gave them q wide
berth. 1t was the moulting season. and
most of the old birds looked very dis
reputable, with their tsttered feathers
aud semi-naked bodies. Wild ducks
and teal popped up their heads through
the long grass, but scarcely took the
trouble to fly away. Sea hens and 9TH
err birds were easily knocked down with
a stick; while pretty white birds like
rock pigeons, called snow-drops, few
to welcome US with q little chirping
note. and could be caught by the
