WAsurNGroN, April 0.-The agents OF the
United States cattle commission sent 10
West Virginia to investigate the reports Of
plenro. pneumonia from that State, made a
careful examination Of the herd Of Gen.
Harris, at Ritchie, c, H, among which the
disease originated. A large number ofdeaths
occurred in this@hcrd, and Mr.. Harris,
pending the examination, isolated his
cattle and refused TO dispose Of any OF
them. The agents report, rs stated in this
correspondence, that the illness Of the cat.
lie was due to tuberculous and other non-
contagious diseases, and they assert that
West Virginia is entirelyfree from any
thing in the way Of the lung plague amoug
cattle. The cattle commission has pre-
pared d system of rules and regulations for
the cattle quarantine stations in process Of
establishment at Baltimore, Boston, Port
land and New York; and assoon as they
receive the approval OF the Secretary they
will be promulgated. The contracts for
the necessary buildings at all OF tic ports
named have been given out, and it is the
intention to have a thorough and effective
system OF cattle quarantine IN operation at
as early day as possible.

WASHINGTON, April "a Sunday paper
contains an article about the mystery sur.
rounding the tomb Of Abraham Lincoln.
The grave is not guarded, so far as any
human eye can see, yet it is protected.
Secretary Lincoln said the other day that
he was absolutely certain tAOt the remains
Of his father could never be stolen. After
the first attempt secure meansof protection
were employed. The secret Of this security
Is only known 10 three people. The article
concludes:
."When the friends OF General Garfield
think the guard over his tomb has been
maintained long enough Colonel Rockwell
will be entrusted with the secret OF the pro-
lection OF tue tomb Of Abraham Lincoln,
and, by the way, what exaggerated and sem
sational statements have been printed
about this guard. 1t has been slid the
coffin is opened every time the guard is
relieved, and that the soldiers are going
mad from the horror OF their work. This il
all untrue. By order OF the Secretary OF
War the coffin has never been opened
since June, 1882. The guard Is constantly
being changed, as there is no cause for
complaint. All it amounts 10 is service
outside the vault two hours q day for
single sentry. 1t costs the Government
nothing. II will be maintained as long as
Colonel Rockwell deeuls it necessary"
