The Cattle Plague.

In their report the Treasury cattle COM
mission say:
Nothing short Of the absolute extlnc-
ton of the cattle disease in the United
States will reopen the British market to
American live cattle and save millions of
money that are annually diverted from
the United States. The present yearly
losses from lung plague in the United
States are estimated at from $1,000 900 to
eS,000.000 and the prospective losses at
CSC. 100000. The capital represented by
the present yearly losses at per cent. is
from $40. 10000 to S60. 200. 900 and the
sum which would be required to stamp
out the lung plague is estimated at 3d.
100000. The report recommends that
the Secretary of the Treasury be empow-
cred to order the instant destruction of all
animals which in quarantine give evidence

The hitch in the negotiations between Mexico
and England in regard to the settlement OF inc
Republics debt to British bondholders PROB
ably will not cause much delay in the final ad-
justment of the matter. A small part OF
$135 900, 900 with interest from 1866 would
be good deal of money; and in the END tne
British will probably take what they can geV
and be thankful. They will be only the more
willing to agree to something now that certain
French bankers are trying to get chance Oh
floating new loan for Mexico. Moreover they
fully realize how important pleasant COM
mercial and diplomatic relations with our
neighbor are getting to be. The matter Is NOS
without interest to American capitalists VINO
have placed their money IN Mexico relying
upon a fair measure of Government support
The progress of tie negotiations should Dc
watched closely lest the sources from whlch tue
railroad subsidies are supplied may be placed
under English control. IL the English settle
ment is not reached before the next Mexican
Congress meets, proper representations might
be made to that body.

CLERICAL SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

CLERICAL SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Two anomalous facts confront the Church at
the present time. The first is that the demand
for clergymen is greater than the supply. The
second is that notwithstanding this threatened
clerical famine, as it has been called. there are
at the same time many cergymen in the va
rious Christian bodies who. for reasons not
affecting their moral character or ability, are
unable to obtain work. Clergymen who have
the advantage Of youth, and who are gifted
with el0quence, ability, and above all with
tact, are pretty sure to succeed. Ii thoy can add
to these qualities a large sympathy with what
is known as the spirit of the aye, and dec
orous conformity to the ways of the world,
they are reasonably certain to obtain the high
est prizes in the clerical profession.
But after all, the rank and file Of the min
istry, as of every other profession, is made up
of men who have few or none of these gifts.
They are faithful plodders, doing their duty as
they SEQ it, with cOnscientOusness that il
deserving of !all praise. But they are not ge-
muses.. Their sermons may seem prosy to the
unre generate pew-holder. The cultivated
Philstinism of the day may only see in their the
ology the archaic forms of dead belief. They
may not always rebuke with gentleness, or
praise with discretion. If to these character
istics he added harsh voice and uncouth
manners, fairly good indication will be given
of the men who are not wanted by the average
congregation and who are therefore standing i'll
the market idle.
All this is no more than the special working
of the great general law governing human life,
that the weaker goes to the wall ; and If the
ministry were merely secular profession, no
complaint could justly be made. The unsuc-
cessful clergyman could do what other unsuc-
cessful men do-g0 into come othor calling
where his defects would not stand in the way
of success. But it is the teaching of the Church
generally that the ministry is not mere pro-
fession, but a sacred vocation, and that he who
enters it is called thereto 10y the Holy Spirit.
And nearly every Christian denomination is
careful to impress upon the candidates to its
ministry the lasting and iudissolublc character
of the VOWS they are abodt to take upon them.
Yet to-day respectable percentage OF the mel
who in good faith took these solemn vows find
themselves in few years not merely failing to
make "A mark, but in many cases actually on the
brink of penury. They have given up all to
serve the Church. which first binds them for
life 20 that service, and then, through its
parishes or congregations, calmly casts them
a1rift
