1t is pretty generally known that a sick
ness of q serious nature exists among the
cattle at East End, and, as will be seen
from All official publication elsewhere, the
matter has been taken hold Of by HE
Government and steps have been taken to
prevent the spread Of the disease. The
circumstances have been investigated by
a Commission appointed by the Govern.
ment, and consisting of the P~OlicemaSter,
a couple Of gentlemen experienced III the
management Of stock aud The Veterinary
Surgeon. So far as we can learn, the last
named gentleman, after examining several
carcarsses of sick animals killed for the pur-
pose, has reported that the animals are
suffering from Pneumonia, u disease
which is we'll known in Europe, and pre-,
sumably has been imported into this isfand
a long time back, as there do not appear
to have been any recent opportunities for
its importation. The disease is one which
in climates favourable to it, like those OF
the north of Europe, makes f~eartully rapid
progress but, judging from the fact that
no sweeping epidemic among cattle has
ever occurred here, it does not appear that
our climate favours the spread Of the
disease, and there is therefore no ground
for alarm in the present state of affairs.
At present the disease is confined to two
estates, and perhaps, with the precautions
taken. may be limited to them, and pos.
sibIy stamped out. 1t appears that want
of proper want of food AMI water are fla
vo Unable TO the spread of the disease, aud
report has it that a certain pond on one of
the estates in question is not in q very
wholesome condition, and that the cattle
from both estates resort to it. Pneumonia,
being a specific disease, could not be caused
in this way, but it might be aided by max
ing the cattle more receptive Of disease;
and it would be well if proprietors of stock
estates would give more attention to the
important matter of providing their stock
with pure drinking water, a matter that
requires special care on the approach of the
dry season, into which We are now Gu
tering.
With regard to the meat supply, we
learn that the Veterinary Surgeon states
that the meat, even of cattle already hav-
ing the sickness, can be eaten with safety,
and only in cases where the disease had
made great progress would it be undesira-
BILE to use the flesh as food. It will be
seen that the Strengthening of cattle is put,
for the present, under control, and OF
c0brSe only cattle apparently. healthy will

Conquest of tho smoker.

The following little incident is worth
noting as arising out Of a great change
in national custom.
Scene-A railway carriage, occupied
by an enormous man smoking q cigar,
with which he makes the atmosphere re-
semble the Strand in a November fog,
and thin, nervous person, with bag
of sandwiches. Says the latter II beg
your pardon, sir, but will it incommode
you if l venture to eat?" The former,
with a gracious wave of the cloud giving
weed: mot at ALL"
Twenty or thirty years ago this would
have looked like burlesque. Then the
smoker had only bare liberation afford
ed him He was not allowed to indulge
his favorite propensity even on the plat
form of a railway station, but was
warned off by placards, which may still
be seen at some stations. The accom-.
mediation provided for him was pooI
and scanty, and woe betide him if he
ventured to take any liberties in prohib
tied places. Now he has things all hi;
own way. To his supreme will and
pleasure the misguided persons who dc
not smoke must conform, and wherever
friends meet arrangements are made fol
his convenience, while even those strong
minded ladies who assert their, rights
to attend public dinners and Other
functions heroically endure rather thar
| protest against the once detested fumes

The young professor of magic stood
before his audience outwardly calm, but
his heart was beating wildly. He was
about to perform his greatest, most be-
wildering, most mystifying feat of le-
gerdemain.
In dull red brick building that stood
in the middle of row of other dull red
brick buildings in an old dull red brick
town on the Mississippi river, a short dis
tance below Alton, was the hall in which
the performance was taking place. On
the outside the sluggish football of an oc-
casional pedestrian making his way
drearily homeward through the grass
grown street could be heard And in
the stiffness that now reigned in the
room, superadded to the almost sepul-
chral silence that brooded like pail
over the decaying village, the ear could
catch the faint swish of the grand old
highway of rafts and mud cats whose
waters, on their way to the distant gulf
smeared the piers of the East st. Louis
and Cahokia bridge.
The excitement of the prestidigitator
had communicated itself to his auditors.
In GREATNESS expectation they awaited
his next movement. He stood with one
hand resting lightly on the cover of a
mysterious cylinder, and the other ex-
tended toward the audience.
"Will some person in the room please
| lend me handkerchief for a few mo-
ments?" he asked at last, with & winning
smile.
No response.
There wasn't a handkerchief in the
crowd He had forgotten he was in st.
Louis.
Half an hour later a crestfallen pro-
fessor of magic was making his way out
of town, followed by gang of infuriated
natives who called him snide and an
impostor and threw stones at him. His
great trick had been failure. Chicago

A WISH.

From din and strife Of town afar,
In summer would find a home
Set in the green fields like a star,
That burns In heavens sapphire dome;
And like the placid sweep Of sky
Around that jewel of the night,
I'd have the clover meadows lie,
Wherin the bees should find delight;
A winding silver brook to play
The pebbly music of its mirth,
To mirror heavens milky way,
And be its echo on the earth.
For clouds be mine the frlnged trees,
In whose leaf arches birds might bide
And hang their cradles in the breeze
And rock their young upon its tide.
My paths. paved by the sun and shade
Swept by the wind and washed by dew,
Should be mosaics deftly laid
Forever fresh. forever new
Such be my summer home, where time
So softly uurecorded, goes,
That life seems like melodious rhyme
Set in the worlds majestic prose
And as the pight overpast--
Dies in the dawu's dew scented breath
Lord. be II mine 10 find at last
