THEC,TTLE PLAGUE

The breaking out OF the foot and
mouth disease among the the cattle of
karsas has created a great excite
ment and aroused the fears of cattle
men all over the county. We learn
that in Pettis township in this county
the disease has appeared. and fupon
investigation it should prove to be true
immediate steps should be tanen TO
prevent the spread of the disease. 1t
Is reported that on the farms OF Mr..
VIM. Bragg, Geo. Nicholas. Phil.
Nicholas, Z. Sampson, and VIM.
Meeks. in Illinois Bend, number of
cattle have been attacked by
what is supposed TO be this disease,
and so far five or six head have died.
From Kansas as it is reported the
disease is on the increase, and that
the local power is insufficient to COM
bat it. DR.. Holbrook, the. United
States Veterinary Surgeon at Fort
| Leavehworth, is investigating the mala-
dy very thoroughly, and pronounces 1t a
virulent type OF the foot and mouth dis
ease; that 1t is the same as is now
prevalent in some counties IN Eng
land, and that II is the same disease
that appeared In this country IN 1867
and again in 1870. DR.. W. NJ. Griff,
a prominent veterinary surgeon of
Kansas City, is also in vestigating the
subject at Yates Center, in Woodson
county, where several ranches ofcattle
are seriously affected. Many have
died Those who are observing the
matter in Woodson county, under di-
rection Of Governer Click, recommend,
IN addition to The quarantine, the fol-
lowing precauiion: As soon as the
disease is discovered every affected an,
imal should be separated at once from
the herd, and that the case should be
reported Immediately. On even the
suspicion of another case appearing,
the premises ought to be
cieansed and dislnfected at once.
Scattering fresh lime or oopperas
about over the ground, on straw and
manure piles, and in wet places, is
good Burning sulphur in barns or
other Enclosures and the evaporation Of
sulphurous or carbolic acid Ii such
places IS excellent. Vinegar, even, is
useful IN such cases. Almost ANYTHING
that qici.ly permeates The lower atmos-
phere and evaporateS IS a good dlsin-
tectant. The separated ANIMALS ought
to be kept carefully, so that no others
will be endangered, and persons atten-
ding the diseased ANIMALS should be
dislnfected uIon leaving the inciosure.
All litter and scrapings ought to be
destroyed by fire and fences white
washed. As to remedies, little can be
done beyond good care, soft food,
plenty of fcold water, even temperature.
good shelter, with an occasional dress
ing OF the diseased foot. and pairing of
loose bis Of the hoof, is about all that
can be done. Feed plenty Of soft food
as slops, oil cake, wheat bran, etc.
Keep the bowels moderately loose, and
the appetite good. Rye, oats, corn
barley, sorghum seed ground into meal
alone or mixed, are good feed for cat
tie. Keep the stock in dry places,
well sheltered and dry, and give plenty
! of clean water and salt.

Mrs. Washington. Two of those little
Shields which are hardly foot square, con
tain the names of Peters and Williams, two
young men. The shields being side by side,
like pair OF hearts, attract attention be-
cause of the fact that the two men died on
the same day of the same year had found
this tomb with some difficulty, and | said to
retired member of congress who ac-
companiei me: "Do you notice that
those two men died tho same dayP
Yes said he, "that is little
queer" and he added "they died, | suppose,
of choleras' "No, said l, "they were both
hanged. They were hanged by Gen. Rose
Grams, who is now in congress, and prose
cuted by Gen. Garfield. who was shot twenty
years later in this city. They came as
spies into the Federal lines, hav-
ing been headstrong rebels, and
they brought forged papers and were
tracked up and arrested, and their
guilt admitted OF no shadow. Their bodies
were brought here among their kin AMI

the fact that after each mans name was

arc the punishments of war. The
poor New York policeman who at
the suggestion of his police captain
became the Federal spy at Richmond,
were hanged there ignominiously without d
friend, and despicable means were used to
convict him. His associate, who was dying,
was visited by dog in the dress of priest
to receive his confession and he admitted
that this poor policeman was his fellow spy,
~hereupon they hanged the policeman

Wisconsin, Natural wonder.

BAYFIELD,, Wis, March 21.-A great deal
of attention has been given during the last
few days to the exploration of a new cave
which has been discovered along the coast
about half mile north of here. The action
of the waves and frost has loosened the rocks
which had barred the entrance until they had
fallen, disclosing a passage about ten feet
wide and four feet high, extending for some
distance through the solid brown stone rock
which here forms the coast This passage,
which gradually grows larger, leads into
gallery which covers nearly half an acre. In
this gallery there are several pillars and
arches, which appear to support the top,
the largest being about seven feet
through From this main gallery
there are several leads extending
in various directions, gradually dwindling
into nothing or ending i'll other galleries. In
one of these there gushes from the rocks n
stream of water, which flows along for sew
eral rods and then suddenly disappears il a
crevice In this small stream were seen sev-
eral fish The main gallery with its pillars,
arches, and recesses resembles more the work
of skillful architects and mechanics than the
work of nature.

A large number of crows were fore
aging for food quite close to the house of
farmer residing in another town, near
the Hartford, Conn, bounary. They were
unusually bold, as though hunger had
driven them to forget their usual shyness
and Gistrust of their natural enemy-man
Two of them lit close to the back door,
and picked up the crumbs with seeming
assurance Of their safety not easily ac
counted for. The farmer was telling a
neighbor apout the tameness of the birds,
and the latter remarked: "You won't see
them so foolhardy tomorrow" why
not tomorrow as well as to day2" was
the answer Because to day is Sunday,
and those crows know it. They know
that one day in seven they are not popped
at by boys and men. They can count
crows can, and they know that on the
seventh day they are exempt from per
secution" Do you believe such stuff as
that? 'Of course, do. used to live
| near swamp where thousands of crows
made their roosting place, and early in
the morning they used TO start for tho
mountains for their food, and | was often
ont with my gun trying to get shot al
them. Week days they beat shy of me,
and could seldom get shot at them
but on Sunday morning it was different
Then they would fly low down and closC
to my house their wings almost Tapping
the ridge boards of house and barns.
Do crows know when it is Sunday?
| OF course, they do"

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE.
A Remark Provoked by the Conduct
Of a FcunsyIyania Woman.

ERIE, Pa, March 21.-A sensation has
been created here by the attempted elope-
ment of Mrs. Georgiana Griffin with col

Griffin is aged % and highly connected,
being relative of Judge Gross, for
merly on the bench Of Erie county.
Five years ago she married Mr. George
Griffin, an artist, who after the
birth of their child treated her so that Sepa-
ration was insisted upon The last three
years Mrs Griffin has been living with her
mother, q woman of considerable means.
Three months ago Charles Holmes, an in
tensoly black negro, was employed as a hed-
carrier repairing the house opposite
An acquaintance began which ended in
both being seized aboard the train about
starting for Buffalo. Officers had
great difficulty in removing the woman.
She shrieked and called upon her colored
swain in endearing terms to aid her, but
Holmes declined. Suddenly the woman
wrenched herself free and darted up Eight
eenth street The officer pursued, followed
by fully 500 people, Mrs. Griffin
distanced all and vaulted over the school
fence and escaped. The black lover wanted
to leave the train, but was forced to proceed.

Extension Of the Russian Empire

EXTENSION OF tne 6uSS1an Empire
The star Of Russian empire is taking
its way east in manner very unpleas,
ant to Englishmen. According to a
paper lately read before the Royal
Asiatic Society the Russians are display
ing remarkable activity on the. Caspian
and Black Seas, and have SO managed
matters that q corps darmee might
be we'll on the road to India before
the movement attracted much at
tention, England having no consular
agent in either place. Baku is rising
Caspian port, which is. attaining nos
toriety for it's remarkable petroleum
wells. This has led to the collection of
large feet to convey the kerosene to
various parts, and, to the tastonishmept
of the Russian Government, they have
thus an unlimited number. Of steamers
which could in twenty-four hours tran
sport the corps d'armee to Michaelovsk,
on the eastern shore of the Caspian.
From this port there is already a. rail.
road to Kizildavat, distance Of lat
miles; and from the latter place to
Askabad, 1876 miles, there is road, and
a railway is proposed. Thence to
Saraskh is 1876 miles, and from the last
named place TO Herat is 2O2 miles, and
q Russian surveyor has already surveyed
the entire distance and proved that a
line can be easily made. E. NJ. n. IS. =.
