man government by a dispatch concern
ing the exclusion of American pork from
that country. The dispatch was pub

ment some time ago, and the newspa-
per organ of Prince Bismarck is in great
wrath about it, and intimates that our
government may expect an official init
naesion that he is no longer agreeable to

call would oblige the emperor. Mr..
Sargent intimates to his W govern
ment that retaliatory measures might
be the only effective means of bringing
the German government to reason, and
that, while Americans would notforce
upon any people products injurious to
health, we ought not to submit to an ex-
clusion of our products under false pre-

Work has been lately resumed
IN the Washington monument, and be-
fore the season closes 1t is expected that
100 feet will be added to the shaft, which
now towers about 800 feet in the air.
Careful investigation shows that the
massive foundation of the monument has
borne out the prediction of the engineer
in charge that it would not settle per
ceptibly, and no fears are entertained
for the ultimate success of this projected
highest work of art in the civilized
world.

at is believed that the number of i'm
migrants this year will be 100, 900 less
than during 1882, owing to better times
abroad and increased remuneration for
labor. The immigration of the last few
years must have relieved the over
crowded labor fields Of the old world. to
a much greater extent than is generally
supposed. This relief, however is only
temporary. The natural increase of
population will soon place things as they
were, and then immigration will come
in again as the only security against star

The butter market, according to Il
Vermont paper, has never been so de-
moralized us it is this spring. Tons up
on tons of old butter which cost an av-
erage of SO cents per pound have been
thrown on the market, recently, after
being held all winter for high prices,
and it is estimated that Boston dealers
and shippers will lose from $4,000 to
S75O,OO0 on their purchases. Several
thousand tubs of old butter are held by
the farmers of Northern Vermont, and
they are now glad to get ten cents a
pound for what they refused t~hirty-ti7e
for last winter. Tho decrease in the de-

from the west, have been the principal
reasons why the price did not advance
