The Embargo on American Pork.
 LONDON, Feb. 22.-R egarding the prohib- iting of American pork on the continent Mr. Mundella said that the government had no official information that the continental coun- tries were prohibiting the importation of American pork, but that the foreign office was making inquiries on the subject. He further said that the government has no re- port of any outbreak of trichinosis in Eng land, and that the continental practice of using half-cooked food reasonably contributes the dissemination of the disease. The Eng fish cooked their food at high temperature, and the result was that there had not been 8 case of trichinosis in England.

End of the s4 Hour Walk.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Ihe twenty-four hour go as -you-please contest for the amateur championship of America, which was begun in the American Institute building last night, terminated at 9:1o p. m. tonight. Of sew enty starters only six remained in the contest at the finish, and these presented a sorry ap- pearance and evidently suffered much pain. Buckley, of the Adelphea Athletic club of New Jersey, was the winner, with a score of 117 miles. Sanders was second with 115 miles, and Carr third with 11O miles. Dur ing the progress of the walk man named Thomas Lane was arrested for compelling his son, Thomas Lane, jr., aged 13 years, to go on the track in an exhausted condition. The poor boy presented pitiable appearance, and after being attended by physicians he was placed in a-coach and driven home At the same time his inhuman father was locked in the station house.

 Veteran Gould, of Hartford, was called out and briefly addressed the veterans, after nying himself on the organ. The selection was well rendered and was received with ap- probation by those present George K Jewell entertained the company under the assumed name of 'tDr. Heart burn,'' in which he introduced his great liver pills'' as universal panacea for all the ills that flesh is heir to.
 MT. White followed with music on the harmonica, which was rendered in inimitable style and to the great satisfaction of all pres ent.
 Addresses were next in order, and Vice He made & brief address, expressing his pleasure that he was permitted to meet so many of the veterans on this occasion.
 Deputy Grand Master Jonathan w. Pond was the next speaker. He said that he had no doubt that all present had great venera- tion for the institution of Odd Fellowship. The veterans were organized four years ago and they had continued to increase in mem bership from that time to the present. The association intended to embrace all Odd Eel lows in the State of twenty five years stand ing, and he hoped to see the time when all members in tine State entitled to membership would be connected with it. This is the an- AuoA AiCCeiAS anu dAeLiOukh tICI0 1s uO par ticular appropriateness in holding it on Washington's birthday, yet we believe that had Washington lived in the era of Odd Eel 1owship he would have been worthy mem Der of this order as he was true Free and Accepted Mason. We honor the father of our country and revere his memory for his noble acts and the eself-sacrifcing spirit which he ever exhibited in all his walks of life, both public and private.
 Brother Eld, of Ansonia, said s'While the Odd Fellows cannot claim Washington as member of their order, yet the Free Ma sons can claim him as one of the brightest stars in their Armament. Through him many obtained true Masonic light, and, as has been lately said, if Odd Fellowship had existed in this country during his time, he would no doubt have been shining light in the order" In closing the speaker paid a decided compliment to the order of Odd Eel lows and the noble work it is doing.
 Addresses by Sylvester Grumman, of Nor walk, Robert Sizer of this city and others fol lowed, after which the annual meeting was adjourned.

Military Discipline.

General Clinchant, the present mill
tary governor of Paris, was terribly
strict in the Franco German war. Hav-
ing the command of raw levies, inclined
to be insubordinate, he resolved to show
them promptly that he was their master.
Once he issued stringent order against
robbing fruit and vegetables from the
fields and gardens of the peasants in the
Loire valley. A few days afterwards a
couple of Zouaves stole out of camp by
night and gathered basketful of pota-
toes. These two soldiers happened to
be veterans who had served in the Ital-
ian war, and they were brave fellows,
much liked by their colonel; but this
made the offense worse In the general s
eyes; ''for," said he, "if old soldiers set
the example of disobedience, how can
the young ones be expected to obey
commandsH
So the two Zouaves were shot.
On another occasion, three young sol
diers took it into their heads to go out OF
the camp without leave on Sunday, in
order to dine with some friends who
lived in the neighborhOod. They re-
turned in time for tattoo, thinking, pro-
badly, they had committed only q venal
ofense; they We're shot the next morn
ing.
General Clinchant had issued orders
that on the march no soldier should
climb into the ambulance vans or store
wagons unless certified lame or i'll by
the army surgeons. The reason of this
order was that number of lazy sol
diers used always to swarm on to
the wagons in order to get lift in
stead of marching. One day Il
youngster who was in perfect health
clambeHed inside a van, and was discov-
cred there by q sergeant, who ordered
him to get out. The soldier alighted
but, determined to have his drive, he
slit open his boot and inflicted a slight
cut on his foot, to make believe that he
had gone lame. A corporal saw him, and
by and by the lad was reported for the
double offense of disobedience and
malingering. When he had been court
martialed, the general gave him chance
of his life by calling upon him to con.
fess that the injury to his foot was self
inflicted; but the foolish fellow, thinking
to save himself by a lie, maintained
stoutly that he had gone lame by step.

handed over to the provost-martial and
