The Plague.
It Last Appearance in. England Re-
called by its Presence in Russia.
The la.st.aPpearance of the plague in
England was in the great epidemic of
1665-6, of which Defoe has left an ac-
count second only interest to Robinson
Crugoe. Its appearance in Europe was
in 1844, and since then our knowledge
of its history is almost entirely derived
from the papers which Mr. Nettert
Radcliffe has from time to time con-
tributed to the annual reports of tho
medical officer to the Local Govern-
ment Board, or to the " Transactions
of the Society of Medical Officers of
Health." From these sources we learn
that plague was not recognized as ex-
isting between 1844 and 1858, but that
ever since the year last mentioned it
has been occurring at intervals, in the
form of scattered local epidemics in
various parts of Arabia and . of Persia.
These epi'demics were so threatening
that Mr. Radcliffe, in a paper read be-
fore the Society of Medical- Officers Of
Health three years ago, of which we
published an abstract at the time of
its delivery, called special attention to
them, and to the high probability that
the disease, if it should assume an ac-
tive character of diffusiveness, would
penetrate not only into Europe, but
also to this country. He pointea out
that Arabia and Persia were now in
close and constant communication with
Russia by land, and with the Mediter-
ranean ports by sea and that an epi-
demic of plague originating in the east
could scarcely by any possibility re-
main confined within the country of
its origin. The intelligmee that the
disease, on the present occasion, first
appeared amongreturned Cossacks may
be true '- but still, if it is intended to
imply "that ;these Cossacks -brought
it -with them from -camp into civil life,
it is probably none the less misleading.
In 1877 plague visited. Resht, a Persian
town at the Southwest angle of the
Caspian, as Astrachan is at the north-
west angle; and it is more likely that
the contaaion has been conveyed a
comparatively short distance from a
place where it is known to have been
active than a long dista,ncefrom a place
whereit is not known to have existed
at all. It ru ay be presumed that -
Resht offers to the poison every possi-
ble facility for preservation and for in-
crease; for when the town wasformerly
attacked in 1832, half of the original
population of 40,000 persons fell victims
to die pestilence in the course of a, few
weeks. In the words of Mr: Consul
Churchill, " Resht for a while became a
camel house, a city of the deal; no
hying creature was to be seen in it, and
those -who had been - abandoued by
their frieeds when stricken by the dis-
ease died of sheer want. When the
people returned to their homes the dis-
ease had spent itself, and the popnla- -
tion was reduced to 8,000 inhabitants."
No trustworthy statistics of the last
attack can be procured, and it is only
known that the malady was not -con-
fined to the town itself, but extended
also to the neighboring villages, one of
which is said to have been almost de-
populated. Prior to the Resht epi7
clemic, the last places known to have
suffered were two Persial villages near
the southeast angle of ,...the Caspian.
,Taking the whole facts of the case so
far as they have been made known in
this country, it seems probable that the
outbreak in Astrachan is a link in a
chain of continued. progress from east
to west, and. there may be reason to
fear that the malady, in the course of
its progress, has gradually assumed aii
increasing degree of 'virulence a-nd in-
fectivity.
' • .
In the not improbable eventof the
GODtagion overstepping the b•arriers
which the Russian authorities are
striving to erect against its ootirse;.we
in this country may regard the danger
without undue alarm. It is of littte
importance that the plaaue has
1 -not prevailed in England for more
than 200 years., because the evi-
dence seems to show that in tb.e
intervening time the disease has not in
any warbeen renderectless forraidalle;
but the provisions of our sanitary laws
and the powers of local authorities to
deal with epidemics ! would prob-
ably be: sufficient to confine and
localize any- eases . which might
occur in England, and to render them
merely "pathological curiosities." The
'Great Plague of .1665-6 found London
in a state which we should now regard
as almost inconceivably filthy, and the
present organizations for the isolation
of the sufferers . from infectious mala-
dies and for the prompt suppression of
-epidemics had in' those days no exis-
tence. Even now these arrangement
are less complete than ;they. might
easily be made; but still they would
in all probability give us sufficient se-
curity. Quarantine, or even 'an at-
-tempted stoppage Of trade between theaf -
fected countries aucl ourselves, would be
filtileifirstibecaiuse infection would prob-
abiybe communicated before either meas-
nre could be enforced; secondly, on ac-
count of ,the activity of the contraband
communication which would be certain
to arise. There can be no doubt that
plaabne might be arrested by quarantine
if only the quarantinecoulci be rendered
.absolute and complete, but this condi-
tion is one which has never -beeu. ful-
- filled in .past times and which the in-
creasing complexity of human .inter
course rendersmore than ever helpless
in the future. Our only inducement to
adopt a measure of quarantin-eaplague.
should visit Western- Europe, would be
for the sake of obtaining for ourselves
exemption from useless and vexatious
restrictions in other countries. It is the
more reassuring to be told that even if
we WOI e unable to exclude the invader,
-we need not fear to encounter him, daid
that, in the- actual sanitary state of the,
kingdom and with theprovisions of the
existing law, nothing. -,,butithe reason-
able enforcement of those provisions
.would be required in -ordet to render
plague a comparatively harmless visitor.
It is none the less -.necessary that all
port and other . sanitary authorities
should be aware of the responsibilities
which the possible spread of the disease
may cast among them, and should be
prepared to inea any 'emergency which

"In the northern portion of the San

while on several of the islands in the

...." Mining prospects are " looking Up,
and tliere are indications that the season
will be an active pne. . Various new
discoVeries in gold and cinnabar have
been made and the old. mines are being
prepared for the rains. As yet there is
not !sufficient water, but after a fesa
t,aood showers and when the snow shoa-
begin to melt, the miners will -go to
work in earnest. The foot -bills this
season have been visited with more
snow . and colder weather than they
have experienced for . many years. As
far down its Auburn and Placerville
there was quite a fall. The people do
not seem to think that much damage
will be done thereby, and hope that in
the foot -hills that even such trees as
orange and lime may escape, while
holding that the suow has been quite a
protectionto early sown grain and
-grass. So far, notwithstanding the
cold, we have not heard of any loss of
live stock having been cauied therely, .
but the journals in. the northern section
of the state fear that unless the weath-
er soon moderates; more loss of stook
wili be caused than during any
winter several years past. \Many
of the cattle and sheep are in the
regions where the feed is tovered with
snow, and the careless Owners had not
the forethou,s,dat to proiaide a sufficiency
of hay." . •i
The Sacramento Bee also mu .its re -
aline of the copclition of affairs in the
State remarks ;-
"•This is an exceptional season.
There has this winter been more north
wind, more frest and cold. than in any
of its predecessors for thirty years.
And. while tho,. rain has been heavier
than usual in the coast counties in the
southern portion of the State, it has
been lighter in the. great valleys than
in any other season up to this date,
save only 1849-50 and 1851. The out-
look for a crop is discouraging in many
portions of the State, and many farmers
have determined to surnmerfalloW
lands which they two weeks aao had
hoped to lay dOWn to crops th" ear.
Tla e young orange, lemon and lima trees
have been severelyscoached by the frost.
Their leaves- have been burned
and most of their upper weocl
apparrently destroyed, but the trunk
and most Of the lower wood seems to
be uninjured. srncl is likely to put forth
in the spring new shoots and leaves.
‹Those trees that are more than six
years old do not seem to have been af-
febted in this valley by the frost, but
trees not over four years of age have
suffered a great deal. There has been
from seven to twelve sin.ches of rain
from Santa Cruz downthe "coast as far
as San Diego, so much, in fact, that
the farmers in tlisit region are satisfied
that their crops will be large. Usually
the rainfall is light in these southern
counties, but se far this year they have
been -favoured: with inbre than twice
the amount that has fallen in the great
valleys or in the northern portion of the
State."
Eleven. .1 -lints oil Coughing.
• (1) In a lecture ' the celebrated Dr.
Brown Sequard gave the following di-
rections, which may. prove serviceable •
to persons troubled with a nervous
cough: " Coughing can be stopped by
pressing on the nerves of the lip in the
neighborhood•of the nose. A pressure
there may prevent a cough when it is
beginning. Pressing, also. in the
neighborhood of the ear may prevent
coughing. Pressing very hard on the
top of -the mouth inside, is also a means
of stopping doughing. And I may say
that the will has immense power too.
There was a French surgeon who used
to sa,y,whenever he eu ered the wards
of his hospital, 'The -patient who
.coughs will be deprived of food to -day,'
It was exceedingly rar that a patient
coughed. then."' (2) One lemon,' two
