TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
Measures Taken to Prevent the Dlsease
 from Spreading.

ERIE, Pa, August 2s, 1sS5.-The appear ance and rapid spread of Texas fever among cattle along the line of railroad has created much excitement among the farmers. In 6 dozen instances herds have been seized with the infection, and after three or four days terrible suffering have died without exception. Dr. Germer, president cf the State Board of Health, and Dr. Bryce. State veterinarian, in spected the infected districts to-day and pro nounced the trouble to be Texas fever. Mayor Adams has Issued a proclamation ordering all cows and cattle to be kept within their respec- tive enclosures, and other measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
 Autopsies Leld demonstrate beyond doubt hat the disease is Texas fever, and the inves- tigation shows that the disease was contracted from diseased cattle in transit for N r. from the Wet over tl 0 railroads. There is great furor among the farmers.

How to FaRten Geese.

To fatten geese after the Strasburg fashion, the bird must neither be too young nor too old, it's growth must be completed, those remarkable for their cackling should not be selected, and none chosen under ten pounds weight. Some geese can be fattened in eight, while others require twenty-four days; but fifteen to eighteen days is the aV- craze period. Winter is the most pro- pitious time for the process, and the months are December and January. When in the crib every cause of ex- citement should be removed, the birds must be kept in complete darkness-in state of absolute repose-and free alike from cold and heat. In the region around Toulouse, where forage is scarce, and consequently milk butter rare, the geese are fattened for their fat alone, the flesh, feathers and liver being, only secondary ends. Cracked maize, or it's meal, Is the chief food employed; thirty-fVe quarts is the quantity used during the whole pro cess. Barley meal is good; some pre- fer 8 mixture of pea, bean and buck wheat flour. The stomach of a goose has strong digestive power. When the bird is killed the fat is melted and placed in earthen pots, where it re- tains its color and good taste for two years; the flesh is then salted like pork or beef and sold in the locality. The Polish plan is to place the goose in an earthen pot, having the bottom knocked out, for fifteen days, giving it as much meal paste as it can consume
 In Strasburg the geese receive maize or barley meal mixed with milk, and a saucer of water is within reach of their box. At the last stage of fatten- ing the geese lose appetite, so they have to be fed with tundish; a little powdered charcoal is added to the ra- tion, the better to develop the liver. The circulation of the blood becomes very sluggish at the close of the pro cess, and it's color pale rose or white; the globules considerably diminish. The liver is white, friable, not bitter, and rich in albumen. But when the final stage is reached and the bird killed, the blood returns to it's normal condition, and the fat diminishes in all parts of the body, save the liver.

Settling with q Mourning Widow.

one night and drowned its occupant
When he had been identified, an agent
called upon his wife to see if a settle
ment could not be effected. She was
mot in tears, nor Frustrated with grief
On the contrary she was at the wash
tub, and in good humor. When the
matter was preached, she said:
"Well, now my husband took home
the washiDgs, brought in the coal, and
was of use in several other ways, and
his death is quite a loss to me-"
''About what sum do you think
weuld make you goodp" he asked.
''Now, then, be honest with me-" she
replied, after taking a moment to
think. How much will a bang-up
bridal tower from here to Niagara Falls
and back cost"
''Well, three hundred dollars ought
to put You through tirst-class. and give
you three days at the Falls"
''Well, say three hundred and fifty
dollars. That gives me money for
new shoes and bonnet, and l may
want to dye my hair and buy some
stockings"
The money was handed over and q
receipt taken, and the tower took
place the next week.-Wau Stree

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

United States Senator Leland
Stanford, President of the Central
Pacific Railroad; Charles Croker,
Vice-President of the Southern Pa
ci6c Railroad, and General Manager
A. N. Towne, recently visited New
Orleans on business connected with
their vast system of roads. The
Southern Pacific has been consolidat-
ed with the Galveston, Houston and
San Antonio and the Morgan roads;
so, that now the above named roads
are practically one, and are operated
under one general management
Mr.. A. N. Towne is General Manager
of the Western Division from San
Francisco to FL Paso; and Mr.. A. G.
Hutchinson is General Manager of
the Division from Ell Paso to New
Orleans; with headquarters at San
Francisco and New Orleans, respec-
lively. The recent conference OF
these railroad officials was for the
purpose of placing the system Of
roads under q more direct manage.
ment and to secure q more perfect
operating system. The Southern
Pacific road has opened up large
and valuable trade for the South, and
has brought many settlers to our
vacant lands. 1t has added much to
the commerce of this State, and fur.
ther unites the interests of the South
and of the West. By the iberality
and enterprise of the managers OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad Cali.
fornia is enabled to make one of the
grandest displays imaginable at the
Worlds Exposition. Car loads OF
fruit, tons of mineral, and car loads
of other articles peculiar to the
Golden State, were transported by
their iberality to show the world
what great State California is.

AMERICAN LEGION OF HoNoR.-The
order in this jurisdiction is composed
of 43 subordinate councils, only eight
of which are in New Orleans. These
43 councils embrace a membership of
about 1400.
At the last regular session in 1883
this grand jurisdiction contained %
councils, embracing membership Of
720. Thus it will be seen that the
progress of the order in that time has
been excellent, and the new corps OF
officers begin their administration
with bright future.-Nea0 Orleans

The Public Roads.

The question of good roads is
among the most important that can
engage public attention, and yet
in most sections but little atten-
ton is paid to it. The general con-
dition of the highways on which so
much of the travel and traffic of the
country is done, is in every respect
bad. Their original construction was
managed on bad principles of road
making, and the methods of repairing
them are mere temporary make-shifts
which are often as likely to injure as
to improve their condition.
It is remarkable that a matter of
80 much Importance should receive
80 little attention. This evidently is
30 not because it is insuficienuy ap-
preciated, for the value of good roads
is generally understood and acknowl-
edged, and the disadvantage of an
opposite condition is the frequent
subject of comment and condemna-
ton. The loss of time occasioned by
travel over badly constructed roads,
in some seasons almost impossible,
and the wear and tear of vehicles and
horse-fesh inseparable from rough
or muddy highways, are not an incon-
siderable item Of expense to the pub
lie. If the loss occasioned in that
way could be computed and taken
directly from the pockets of those
whose business compels them to
travel bad roads, it would be more
practically and tangibly comprehend
ed.
The great defect of public roads
generally is the entire want of sys-
tenn in making and repairing them.
There being no general or method
cal system, the result must be con.
tinual repairing without rendering
satisfaction to those who have te
stand it.
There is great room for improve
ment in this matter, and it cannot b.
denied that the management of thu
roads might receive more attention
from our citizens, with advantage Il
the public, if the duties were mor'
faithfully performed.

The New Cabinet.

The following distinguished gen.
tlemen have been designated by Pres
ident Cleveland for the several posi-
tons in his Cabinet: Secretary of
State, Thomas Francis Bayard, of
Delaware; Secretary of the Treasury,
Daniel Manning, of New York; Sec
rotary of the Interior, Lucius @. G.
Lamar, of Mississippi; Attorney-Gen-
eral, Augustus II. Garland, of Arkan-
sas; Secretary of War, William c.
Endicott, of Massachusetts; Secre-
tary of the Navy, VIM. G. Whitney,
of New York; Postmaster General,
William G. Villas, of Wisconsin.
This is excellent material, and will
afford combination of experience
and ability that will greatly assist in
making the administration successful.
1t surpasses in quality any Cabinet
that has been connected with the
Government since Buchanan's ad-
ministration.
Bayard, Garland and Lamar have
national regulations gained by emf,
nent public service. Mr.. Manning,
who takes charge of the Treasurer's
portfolio, is scholoraly gentleman
and experienced business man repre-
senting the Democracy of New York
Messrs. Endicott and Whitney, al
though not as yet very prominet il
public life, have an abundance Of
weI-cultivated brain. Mr.. Villas is 6
brilliant representative of the young
Democracy of the West.
In comparison with these brainJ
and accomplished Democrats, the
Boutwells, Belknaps, Ackermans anc
Cresswells of the Grant administra
ton appear thoroughly insignificant
while the Cabinet of Hayes fraudu
lent administration will aot campart
with it. Ina comparison of Arthur's
Cabinet with Cleveland's, what a diff
ference appears between a Bayart
and Frelinghuysen; whats contras
between a Chandler and q Whitney

hard struggle or some grave political

for its brevity and sound sense. The
whole tone of the message is lofty
and patriotic. It is pervaded with a
sober sense of responsibility and
profound conviction that the Office
is trust and not a reward or simple
honor.
