The Cattle PIaguc's Cost.

Until recently little has been positively
known OF the origin Or true diagnosis of
the cattle plague. which Is necessary to
its successful treatment and eradication.
1t appears from the records Of The Agricul-
tural Department that attention was first
called to the existence of tins disease in n
dangerous or epidemic form during 1860,
and that during that year the danger to be
apprchcndcd from its spread from conta-
gion was recognized and measures adopted
to meet the contingency. by references
to the reports Of the Com missioner of
Agriculture il is found that al approprla-
tion was recommended by the Con.mls-
sloncr, and adopted by Congress. for the
expenditure Of o sum that seemed adequate
for the occasion, and commission, whose
duty it was to report upon It's nature and
extent, was appointed to investigate the
cause and recommend measures for It's
treatment. During that and the succeed
ing years of 1870 and 1871 tho gum OF
Sl2 G96 go was expended III careful
manner in these Investigations with re-
suits that arc of great importance when
viewed III connection with the vast inter-
eBt involved III its consideration. A recent
estimate places the losses occurring an
nually from the cattle plague at from TWO
to three millions Of dollars at the present
time, which, If estimated at five per cent.
makes Total OF from $40 900, 900 to
$50, 000, 900, which Is impcrlIcd by the
consequences, with prospective increase
OF many milh0ns.

a Cairene ISrido.

On allghting from our carriage,
| says correspondent who is writing
OF visit to Cairo, we were hastily con-
Quoted across large covered court, in
which tables were spread aud hired mu-
slclans were performing, anu were shown
up TO the Women's apartments, passing
through number OF narrow, winding pas
sagos-it was, / was told, IL reui old. fusii-
loncd Turkish interlOr-and traverslng q
number of rooms furnished with a curious
mixture OF the splendid and the tawdry.
until we came TO the room where tho bride
| sat TO receive the final compliments of her
her friends. She was small-framed, deli
cate-looklng person, with fairly regular
features and beautiful eyes and teeth, but
tho former. notwithstanding that her face
was thickly painted white, showed traces
| of tears, and she looked and evidently was
tired to death. "Shc has been crying all
day." whispered the French govcrness to
us coAfdcntlally; ''shc has never seen
him, OF course, and has got an idea that
| she shan't like HIM; the fact ls, she nd
not want to be married at ali, but of course
her family would net refuse --- Pasha's
alliance. The new brides apartments
have been rcturnishcd IN her honor. and
were bcstrewn with yellow satin chairs
and fauteulls, which most of the women
carefully avoided, prefcring to sit COM
fortably on the carpet or on the lowest
toot-stool they could find. The BRIDE sat
like little image on chair raised on two
steps in one corner Of the room; her hands,
lncased in tight white kid gloves, were
crossed on'hcr lap, and she never moved
at all, except that she acknowledged our
courtcsies, as strangers, with slight,
grave inclination Of the head. The other
women kept up a pretense that It was all
very delightful, and occasionally stroked
her dress smilsng in passing, or rearrangcd
the heavy gold frlngcs of the veil. She
had put of magnificent bridal dress of
white satin Oh entering the house of this
husband whom she ''had never scen," and
was now arrayed in pink satin heavily EN-.
brodered with gold, having on her head q
veil of tulle and gold ornamcnted with
flowers and diamonds, while large diamond
brooches and bracelets gllttcrcd on her
dress and wrists. The long train of her
drcass, made in European fashion, was
spread ostentatlously halt across the floor.
Those of her relations who had come with
her were also very smart and very modern,
Her sister, in addition to pair of high
hcclcd shoes, had advanced to tho civilized
length OF wearing tight stays.

EInanCIpateu Turkish We men,

One result Of tho British occupation
of Cyprus, according to an American
observer. has been to revoiltionizc the
status of Turkish women in tho island.
The emancipatcd Turkish woman, he
says, is not only to be found in Cyprus,
but she has been emancipated 50 rapidly
that, in his opinion, the harem system
will not long survive in Egypt or any
other country where n British garrison
Is stationed. In Cyprus, according to
his account, the Moslem woman "has
openly thrown off the yoke and claimed
her Independence, and with q vengeance
too. Turkish husbands, fathers,
brothers and friends are frantic with
despair at tho turn affairs have taken,
and should Turk come hero from any
other part OF Island Inc would not be-
lleve his own eyes" Tho women go
about unveiled, walk arm-in-arm with
the infidel, give coffee parties to Eng
lIshmen, attend cafes chantants, and in
some case have even taken to drinking.
The Woman's Suffrage Society should
lose no time in starting q branch in Cy-
prus, for If drunkenness auG tho can
can are tho first fruits of female eman-
cipation in the island, there is certain
to be severe reaction before long, in
which the Turkish husband Is likely to
come to his own again unless duo pre-
cautions are taken by the lberators of
tho other sex.

A bowed, crushed figure leaned agains
! half-opened window.
A dropping golden head, covered
face.
That was the woman he had promised
to love and cherish until death.
He could not speak.
Softly, and as though he touched tho
dead, he stopped, and kissed her bright
hair and go he left her.
EARLY in the morning the married
widow and her husband went away.
He breathed more freely, feeling thai
she was no longer under the samo roof
During the forenoon he received &
message from Mrs. DevolI.
Mario desired to SEQ him.
Like culpnt he went to the meeting,
He had no hope Of a reconciliation.
Marie was too much of q woman tc
ever overlook the utter humiliation into
Which he had fallen.
She rceiyed him with wan smile.
He hardly knew her, crimson-nosed
watery-eyed, and swollon-faccd. as she
appeared.

careless girl, fell fast asleep beside it.

''Do you think that your love could
survive many euch nttacks?"
Marie had been asleep. actually asleep.
a great flood of gratitude rolled over
his soul, as, with rapturous cry OF
"My darling!' he caught hor III his
arms.
He covered her swollen lace with pas-
sionate kisses Of tllankfulness and af-
fection.
"What devotion" sighed Mrs. Devoll,
whose own married lie had been some
thing OF n mistake.
"Was ever girl so blessed?" thought
Marie, little dreaming what that sleep
had saved her, little knowing that tho
cold which she doplored was blessing in
disguise, for Harry, grateful and repent :
ant, yet where ignorance is
bliss, it is folly to be WISE"

~ Desp 'rRts Gambler.

An occurrence has lsteiy transpired
at Nico, France, which is near Monuca.
the great gambling centre Of Europe.
A notorious habitue of tho Casino who
had made his money principally there,
had set up an English vehicle, Il pair OF
horses "tlger" and all, and cut quite a
swell driving through the neighborhuod.
| One day he was riding in the cnylrons
of town upon the fine roads, his scry-
ant sitting upt II the raised box behind,
who has been feeling somewhat uneasy
| ut not receiving his wages for some
time, seeing his master quite alone
| ventured to ask him through the back
| window If ho would not mako it oonye-
nient to pay him. Tho master was in
| good humOr, aud asked, -,
''How much is it, La Fleur?"
Gone hundred and twenty five liyros,
| may 1t please you, monsieur.
VERY well, horo it IL, said the mas
tor, sprcuding tue sum i'll paper curren-
| cy upon the sent Of tho vohicic. "Now,
La Fleur, have you pack Of cards with
you?"
"Certainly," answered. the obsequi-
Gus lackey, "I always carry them, mon
siour," producing the cards at once.
"That il well. Now l will be bankor
and you shall play against me. L will
take the front scat, the back ono shall
servo for our table, you can look
through this back window.
The lackey assented to this, amused
at his masters condesccnslon. Luck
was rather Oh the masters side, but
both men became quite eager in tho
game thinking of that and that only,
Little by little tho footman's money
was going until all that was left of his
wages was five llvres. lie began to
feel anxious when luck turned and he
won the whole sum back with every
sou his master Lad about him.
PiQued at his loss the master wagercd
horse, which the lackey won, then its
mate next the harness, and lastly the
carriage itself. Luck ran ail one way,
and the servant, La Flour, won every
thing. The master took out his watch
and put it down against II given sum.
The cards were shufled, the lackey
won.
81 have nothing more, La FIcur; you
have cleaned me out said tho half
desperate gambler.
The servant was il, high spirits at his
strange run OF luck.
"Here arc n hundred livres, monsieur,
stake them against your position, ii
you win they are yours. II you lose
we change seats"
agreed"
Then the cards wore shuDlcd and La
Flcur won. The vehicle returned to
Nice with his former master sitting IN
the servants box bohind, La Fleur in
sido.

Tno lsrOrZe Are,

During the excavations in the Piazza
Vittorio Emanuel. in Rome, tho work :,
men have found Depulchre of tho
bronze age. 1t is hole dug in tho tufa
and lined with rough stones, the whole
beng six feet long and three feet wide.
No ashes wore found, and the othor
remains proved it to belong to the
transition period between the stone ago
and tho bronze age. The whole space
between tho Via Merulana and the
railway station is covered with similar
graves lying deep under the ancient
Esquille. Considering the number Of
romans discovered during the last
twelve years, and those recorded by
old writer's, it is probable that town
was founded on tho site in tho bronze
age.
