A PIagne in Mexicn.

NEW YORK, Dee. 14.-Letters from
Chiapas, Mexico, dated October 20, state
that the cholera has ragged with such
violence in that department that in some
places the owners of and laborers on the
plantations have ali died, and that, as it
has not been possible to bury them, their
bodies have been burned. Sixty deaths a
day have occurred in Tonala, and terri
bic panic has ensued. The disease is
probably not cholera, though that is the
name given it.

a Great Country

Gen. Bradley I. johnson, of Baltimore,
recently delivered an address before the
MARYLAND Agricultural Society. From it
we extract the following, which is not
new, but well calculated to raise n doubt
as to whether even our spread-eagle
American imagination can really grasp
the superlatiye greatness of the country
we inhabit:
..The imagination hardly takes in the
agricultural future of this Ameican en-

than all New England, New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania and Ohio. The un-
settled Northwest beyond Minnesota will
make twelve States as large as New York.
All this territory is virgin. There is more
land belonging TO the United States in
Mississippi than in Kansas, Nebraska or
Minnesota. The Southern country is less
known than the new Territories. In old

LoEu DERBY on the Land Problem and
Irish Nationality.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-Lord Derby, in his
speech at Manchester yesterday, said his
personal opinion was that some millions
spent in promoting emigration from Ire
land would be profitable expenditure.
He believed that in a few years, despite
the land act, the small tenants in Ireland
would be just as dependent as ever on the
forbearance of the landlords. Thus the
old difficulties would recur. But he
thought the government should alb
stain from encouraging the fresh,
large proposals for legislation
in regard to Irish land. The government
should refuse to listen for an hour to the
claim for Irish nationality, in whatever
disguise it is presented. An Irish Parlia-
ment would lead to separation as certainly
as two and two make four. ''If we do not
want this to become practical question, :"
he said, 1--WE must be careful to avoid
giving vague pledges, which will be con-
Strued to mean more than theV dOV
