GEN. MINIS TESTIMoNIAL.--ln a recent
issue we briefly referred to the testimonial
presented by the officers of the Fifth L. 5.
Infantry to General Nelson A. Miles. com
manding the Department OF the Columbia,
for many years Colonel OF that regiment.
! This beautiful work OF art was made by
{ Tiffany & Co., aud is blessing OF his old
comrades in arms, which the touch OF al
lection has turned iuto gold There has
always existed the closest union between
the general and his soldiers, and upon hav
ing their gallant commander bid them adieu,
the bronzed faces OF his old veterans showed
signs of honest affection and deep regret,
! for their attachment was bred of the many
hardships, privations and dangers shared to-
+ gether on the plains during the successive
campaigns against hostile Indians. Tho
record OF Gen. Miles in the army has been
one OF honorable efficiency and untring in
dustry; his energy and force are tremen-
dous, but always tempered by judgment
and guided by quickness OF vision to catch
and use every advantage, as the long series
of his important successes, unbroken by a
| single failure, has established. His we'll
merited advancement has been of almost
meteor.like swiftness. Entering the army
a company officer the first year OF the rebel
| lion, he quickly rose to the command of a
division of the army of the Potomac, being
one of the two younger Major Generals in
the service. Several times was he brevetted
for 'highly meritorious and distinguished
conduct" aud for "gallantry and valor dis

scars fortify these brief quotations from the

by his superors, Generals Meade aud Han.
/ cock, the latter officially stating in 1863,
''hs is one OF the bravest men in the army;
q soldier by nature; and II Colonel Miles
lives he will be one OF the most distinguished
officers of the service" The prophecy has
proved itself true, aud his old regiment
plories IN his success, for 1t is theirs also.
On the other side OF the mountains, in Mon.
tana, the hearts Of the people go out in gen
erous and grateful acknow iedgement to this
officer aud his command for having opened
for settlement GA that frontier vast districts
OF country which had been held with savage

graceful and fitting tribute To the msrits OF

THE WAR ON OUR HOG.

A Western German Paper ON the Action
ment.
| Dr. Lachmund, of st. Louis microscopist
of some prominence, in a communication To
the St. Louis WeStliehe Post of last Sunday
gives the results Of microscopic examinations
made by him at two different pork packing
establishments of that city during the months
of January and February, 1883. His report
is of considerable interest in view of the
present stage of the war waged against Ame-
rican pork upon the European continent. DIR.
Lachmund finds about per cent of all hogs
examined to have been infected with
trichinae, and arrives at the important con-
clusiOn that fat hogs were found uniformly
free from the infection, while all the parts
examined and found infested were from lean
animals.
In establishing A, as he designates il, he
found the largest percentage of diseased ,.. 4
from examination of the peritoneum, a part
known to be invariably infested with trich
ine when diseased, while the tongues of
other hogs yielded but small per-
centage, The animals were of course selected
at random. At establishment II, the exact
reverse was the case, small percentage being
found diseased from examination of the peri.
toneum, while the tongues yielded the largest
cent. rs at!A. IL seemed evident from this
that the successful fattening of hogs is per sc
evidence Of their freedom from the disease.
while hogs remaining lean and attacked by
cholera symptoms must bear the Odious sus.
picion Of harboring those dangerous little en-
emies
Referring to the labors of Dr. Lathmund.
the IHesttiche Post says, under the caption "The
Hog War"
Germany has had all possible kinds of
wars; history knows of cherry war, u pota
toe war, IA goat war, and the reader therefore.
need not be surprised at the superscription of
this article. The history of the worlds COM
merce will have to chronicle hog war also.
1t has already commenced, though being but
one-sided thus far. Germany has declared
war against our hog from sanitary considera
tions That is, 10 makes the German feudal
lords and land owners sick TO see the German
people eat cheap American pork, and for this
ailnent there is but one physician, the gov
ernment, and it has already found the right
prescription for 1t.
but there are other people behind the
mountains and beyond the water; and Ger
many, which struck this blow so carelessly
from pure love for its barons, must EXPECT n
blow In return, aud il looks very much as If
the blow were TO be given back with interest
In the last consular report two of our con.
suls take up this matter. Consul Tanner. of
Luettich, draws shocking picture of the
National Republican., 1883-04-12

horrible aduterations said TO be committed
in Germany and Austria, and our good Uncle
Sam will have no choice left him IL he would
protect his dear children against disease and
death, but TO prohibit mercilessly some thou
sand and three odd articles, Just rs the
American hog has been mercilessly prohibited
in Germany; and the American consul at
Nantes seconds him. He shows how French
wines and liquors are made, or rather adul-
terated. True, we have endured these frauds
from years without complaint--but now
France too makes war upon our swine, and
that challenges retribution; hence, prohibit
tion of French goods. Uncle Sam will prob
ably erect huge crematories at the customs
ports similar to the "queen's pipe" at Lon
don, and then all adulterated wares will be
burned. 1t will be merry war. Victory
will bo with those who can stand it the long
est; but upon the conclusion of peace America
will probably insist that the German national
council be condemned to eat nothing for y
whole month but the American national dish
of pork and beans.
