PIeurO-P Pneumonia.

In view Of the appearance OF pleu-
ro-pneumOnia among several herds
of Jersey cattle in Illinois, the fol-
lowing order has been issued from
the Commissioner OF Agriculture
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 1881.
To the Cattle Owners of the United States:
Owing to the existence OF DIS
ease, supposed to be contagious
pIeuro-pneufnOnia, in several herds
of Jersey cattle i'm the State of Hi
nOis, l hereby request owners of all
herds Of Jersey cattle in the United
States into which new animals have
been introduced since January lst
to stop shipments of cattle until af-
ter October LIST. The disease seems
to have been introduced by the ami
mails sold at Virginia, Cass county,
ILL.,, in February, 1884,, and these
animals were widely distributed
through the Western States. 1t is
hoped, therefore, that persons own
ing cattle tracing to this sale, and
all others having cattle affected with
disease OF the lungs, will at once
communicate with Dr.. ID. E Sal
mon, chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, care Of the Breeders Ga
zette, Chicago, and clearly state the
conditions of their herds and the
symptoms of disease. The atten-
ton 0f-owners OF cattle and railroad
and other transportation companies
is called to section of the act estab-
fishing the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, which makes it a misde-
meanOr punishable by fine of not
less than 800 nor more than $500,
or by Imprisonment OF not more
than one year or both, for shipping
cattle affected with any contagious,
infectious or communicable disease,
and especially disease known as
pleuro-pneumOnia, from one Stale
or territory into another. The cor
dial cooperation of the State au-
thOrities and all persons interested
i'll the welfare,of our cattleindustries
is earnestly desired i'm order to avert
this danger which now menaces the
herds of the country.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

In the current number of The
Eclectic Magazine, the reader will
find a variety of matter to please
the severe and philosophical to
what is light and descriptive. Two
powerful articles by Herbert Spen-
Ger are respectively entitled RET
rogressive Religion" and the
"Great Political Superstition" The
latter of these papers will specially
commend itself topolitical thinkers
for the depth and clearness- OF its
reasoning. w. III. Mallock's arti-
Gle called "General GOrdOn's Mes
sage" gives an authoritative state
ment OF the strange religious views
of man who is now so prominent
ly in the public eye. The brilliant
article "FreebOoters OF American
Finance" is q pungent indictment
Of some of the magnates of Wall
Street. Papers that will attract
special attention too are "Fhe Let
tiers of Heinrich IIeine," by Wal
ter S. Sichel, and Newspapers, !"
er prose articles that on "Mrs.
Aphra Behn," from Tempelr Bar
and the criticism, an. Remains
Last Volume" will be read, we
think, with great pleasure. Swim.

and "Heine's Mountain Idylls"

ber, which, all in all, is very at
tractive one.

She Swore. ~ 8
New York World.

An elderly lady with delicate
features and refined manners enter
ed the custom house yesterday, with
timid steps. 1t was evident that
she had never been there before,
and she seemed bewildered by the
whirl, hustle and chatter of the ro-
tunda. The doorkeeper directed
her to the desk where she could
transact her business. This was Of
a nature that required-as nearly
everything Aat the custom house
dOeS-an oath.
you'll have to swear TO this
madam" said the deputy collector
to the old lady. Her piOus cOun-
tenance became very thoughtful
and troubled at the announcement.
She said nothing, but anxiOusly
watched deputy collector make
out her paper. This done, he said ::
"DO you swear to this, madam ?"
The old lady had clearly made up
her mind that it was necessary for
her to pass the ordeal. So, with a
sweet but hesitating voice, she re-
Piled:
GOD have mercy on me-damn
it." 81
The deputy collector was dumb
founded by this reply, but a glance
at thelady assured him of her sim
cerity. She had mistaken "sWear-
ing" for profanity, and had actually
believed that it was necessary for
her to Use ''swear word" in order
to get her papers.

Southern Sentiment.

1t is noticeable that the Southern
press has not entered with relish into
the prevalent scandals connected
with the Presidential race. The
Montgomery Advertiser declares
that it is subject for regret that any
Democratic paper shows "a tendency
TO initiate the Republican idea of
carrying on political campaign by
assailimg the private character of
the candidates, while the Calves
ton News fears that if the present
mode of conducting political cam
paigns continues the day may not
be far distant when reputable citi-
zens, i'll self defense, will feel con-
strained TO decline Il nomination,
even for such an eminent position
as the Presidency of the United
States. The Mobile Register begs
that there be no dirt throwing on
the Democratic side.

If there were not numerous other
sins to its charge, theone thing that
will defeat the Blaine ticket is the
disreputable tactics of its campaign
managers. This. has already discus
ted the public. Failing TO find
weak spot anywhere In the public
and official record OF the Democrat
lie nominee, it procured a scurrilous,
prostituted political priestln Buffa-
10 to start a scandalous story about
Gov. Cleveland that no respectable
man would father. This the Blaine
campaign committee circulated by
thousands through the mails with
money assessments lowed upon Re
publisan Office holders. But il did
a meaner thing than this. It not
only invented tho bestial scandal
about Cleveland's habits OF intoxi-
cation and general debaucheries,
but Ii circulated another gross false
hood on the top OF it. 10 the effect

Of Cleveland's moral unfitness,
f'that the propriety OF withdrawing

is a miserable falsehood and should
everlastingly damn its authors. Ii
national politics have descended to
this level, il. is time to consign the
Republican party to merited obscu-
rity. Filth and FalsehOOd, as party
watchwOrds, demonstrate the des-
peration of the corrupt spOilsmen
who are in the death struggle to

An emanciated youth, with a bro
ken arm, a black eye and a BAN
daged head, now a sojOurner at the
County Hospital, says he has had
enough of the campaign. He is a
newspaper reporter from st. Louis,

look up that little Story about Cleve-

pie you ever saw. The first man
called on put me out of his office,
and the next man said was liar.
| then called on Preacher Ball again
and he told me of two or three other

THE Atlanta Constitution thinks
that while he'killing of the Nor
mon elders in Lewis County, of this
State, may be described as a sequel
of one phase of Mormon missionary
work, it Is but the beginning of the
fierce protest that the people OF this
country are prepared to make in
defense of their family affairs, adj
ding: The killing was terrible az
fair-a deplOrable affair; but was it
unexpected ? Was it unlimited? 1t
was neither unexpected nor uninvi-
ted. For year or more the COnsti-
tuition and other public Journals
have been warning these Mormon
emiSsarie5 OF the danger. OF pushing
their lechcrOuS enterprises too far.
They have been put on notice in
season and out OF scasOn-if timely.
warnings may be considered un-
seas0nabIe-that the people would
not submit TO their vile teachings.

Preparing For Wheat,

Those who intend to SOW wheat
this fall should begin blowing their
laud for this purpose as soon as pos
sibIe. IL well plowed and harrow
ed now many weed seeds will ger
inmate which will be destroyed by
another narrowing later in the
season before il is time to sow the
grain. This will help much in
keeping the fields clear of weeds
after the grain comes up. Give. the
grain IA fair chance and it will take
care of itself if the soil Is strong or
well manured, but if the weeds get
the advantage of it this fall they
will so weaken the wheat as TO
make il more liable TO winter-kill.
Three borrowings are not too many
to fit a field well for sowing wheat,
and if they are done at intervals of
one or two weeks, il is all the better.
Thorough pulverization OF the soil
is the next best thing to liberal
manuring.

Anew horseshoe has lately been
experimental with ut Lyons, France
1t is made entirely Of Sleeps horn,
and is found particularly adapted
to horses employed in towns and
known not to have steady foot on
the pavement. The results of the
experiments have proved very sat-
isfactory, as horses thus shod have
been driven ut Il rapid pace on the
pavement without slipping. Be
sides this advantage the new shoe is
very durable, and, though Il little
more expensive than the oid one,
seems destined sooner or later to re-
place the iron shoe, particularly for
horses employed in large cities
where, besides the pavement, the
streets are intersccted by tramway
rails, which, from their slipperiness,
constitute Il source of permanent
danger.

The pilot-boat, Thomas f. Bay
ard arrived in this city, and it was
learned that the boat bore the dis
tinguished gentleman after whom
il is named. A reporter boarded
the vessel to pay his respects. Mr..
Bayard was lying down on q shawl
on the deck of the vessel with a
pillow under his head and reading
"Guizot's History Of Civilization"
He looked the picture of health,
and assured the reporter that he
was too comfortable to go ashore.
He was broken down with his
work at Washington, and was only
too glad to get a little rest on board
the boat. As to the campaign
he had not yet begun to make
speeches, but would do his duty
and give every possible assis-
lance to, Gov. Cleveland. He had
not mapped out any plan for him
self, but would, as usual, do what
he could for the cause.
"What do you think of the Cleve-
land scandal ?' asked the reporter.
Here the Senator drew himself up
with some feeling and with an ex-
preston of disgust on his counte-
nance. He spoke in broken SEN
fences, as though he could not find
words sufficiently strong in which
TO express himself.
"Why," said he, sit is only a
proof of the degradation to which
the Republican party has come to
resort to such a disreputable ele-
nent of assauIt on the character OF
a public man."
"DO you think it will hurt Cleve-
lands chances ?'
"Oh the contrary l think 1T
will have the effect of disgusting all
honorable men, and | am sure Mr..
CIeveland's personal character can
bear the assault" ftf 80 .tEf III
"What OF New York ?"
Why, there seems to me no pos
sibIe ground for doubling that New
York, with its large Independent
vote, viii &c for Cleveland" "A 500
The Senator stated that he and
his party were on a little pleasure
trip and the other members had
gone over to Norfolk, but it was
not long before they all came back,
and they were introduced as fol-
lows: Governor Charles G.. Stock
ley, Attorney General George Gray
DR.. James A. Draper, Wilmington;
Dr. Charles III. Richards, George

"Did you get ajulep?' asked the
Senator OF the Governor.

"And did you bring one for me?',
"NOw, Senator, you don't mean
to pretend that you have had moth
ing since we left ~ a Ma I'll
my dear sir, there is no pretence
about it; il is melancholy fact"
The conversation reminded one
Of the famous remark OF the Gov
ernOr OF South Carolina: owrsr
|, 81 have been struck with that
eloquent remark of yours, Govern
or. There are few men who can
say with so much pathOs, "Lets
take a drink"
That was enough. We went be-
low and tasted the Delaware dew
drop. (Who would have expected
such levity from the big Senator,
but he is as easy as an old shoe and
as fond of a joke as of a tOddy.)
When we got below we found Capt,
Henry Virden, whoul the Senator
calls the patriarch OF Delaware
pilots.

BIN Arp.
/ heard Zeb Vance telling how he
captured the votes of backWoods.
settlement in North Carolina when
he first ran for congress. lie said
he had never been in that settle
ment and didn't know the boys.
He didn't know their politics, nor
sheir habits nor their religion.
But he sent them word that he
would be there to see them on q
certain day, and so he rode over the
mountain and got there and found
about sixty OF the sOvereigps at n
cross-road grocery. and he got down
and hitched his horse and began to
make their acquaintance and crack
his Jokes around, and thought he
was getting along pretty well with
them but he noticed an old man,
with shaggy eyebrows and big brass
spectacles, sitting on a chunk and
marking in the sand with q stick.
The old man didn't seem to pay
any attention to Vance, and after
while Vance concluded that the old
man was the beIl-weether OF the
flock, and that it was necessary TO
capture him, so he sidled up close
to him and the old man got up and
shook himself and leaned forward
on his stick and said solemnly,
s'This is Mr.. Vance, 7 believe"
"Yes, SIR" said Vance. "And you
have come over here 10 see my boys
about their votes, I believe" "Yes,
sir" said Vance, "that Is my bus
mess"
"Well, sir, said the old man,
"afOre you proceed with that bus
iness, / would like TO axe you few
questions"
Certainly, sir, certainly" said
Vance.
"What church mOut you belong
TO ?" said the old man.
That was a neutrality-suspicious.
didn't belong to any church. He
knew that religion and meeting
was a big thing in the Dackwoods,
and controlled their politics, but he
dinnf know what their religion
was, for North Carolina was pow
erIully spotted, and had a nest OF
EpiscOpaliaDs in one place and
Presbyterians in another, and Bap-
lists here and Methodists over yOn-
der, and they never mixed, but
were all one way in a settlement,
and so he was in a dilemma.
But he squared himself for the
responsibility, and, says he:
sFWeIl, now, my friend, 4 VIII
tell YOU about that, for ii is fair
question. OF course it is. Well,
YOU see, my grandfather came from
Scotland, and you know that over
ia Scotland everybody is Presbyte-
rian." Here he paused to note the
effect, but saw no sign OF sympathy
with his grandpa.
"But my grandmother came from
England, and over there everybody
belongs 10 the Episcopal church."
He paused again, and the old man
marked another mark in the sand
and spit his tobacco away oil.
"But my father was born in this
country in Methodist settlement,
and SO he grew up Il Methodist"
Still no sign of approval from the
old man, AS Vance took his last
shot and said: "But my good old
mother was Baptist, and it's my
opinion that a man has got to go
under the water to get to heaven"
The old man walked up, and
taking him by the hand, said,
''WeIl, you are all right, Mr.. Vance"
aud then turning to the crowd said,
boys, he'll do, and you may vote
for him. / thought he looked like
a Baptist" And the old man
slowly drew a flask from his coat
tail and handed ii TO Vance to seal
his faith.
