ReIaliye tn German Rrahihitiau.

WASHINGTON, December 12.-The fol-
lowing is the text of the resolution intro
duced by Representative Townshend, re-
garding the action of Germany concerning
American hog products:
WHEREAS, The government of the German em-
pire has seen fit to prohibit the Importation OF
American hog products upon the unproven as
sumption that they deleterious to public
health; and whereas, said government of the
German empire declined the invitation to
send its own experts to this country for the
purpose of examining the quality and manner OF
marketing hog products: and whereas, il appears
from the proceedings of the said government that
the same has or claims to have, full authority tc
prohibit the importation of any foreign goods By
il, believed tO be Injurious to health without the
assent of the Reichstag; therefore be it
RcsoIpe3 By the Senate and House Of Representa-.
tires, That the President be and is hereby author
Zed during the recess of Congress to prohibit the
importation of any goods which, upon the advice
of experts he shall hold to be injurious to health

ground, prohibit the importation of American

to the lHtter This, however, was

to the latter. This, however, was a
step too far. Frou-Freu is one Of the
most powerful of dramatic productions,
and it is the highest praise to this young
and, it might be said, child actress, to admit
that her Interpretation is charming
enough to make one forget the heroine OF
Fogg's Ferry, and see the frivolous French
woman of fashion, the jealous, false, and
at last heartbroken wife. The scene be-
tween "Gilberte" and Louise, one of the
gems of the piece was so we'll done as to call
forth repeated applause, and the audience
expressed their satisfaction with several
other good points made. Whatever fault
may be found with Miss Maddern in this
role, it cannot be said that she apes any OF
the great "Gilbertes" who have gone be-
fore. Her Interpretation is original or
nothing. The support is fairly good. To-
night jtallitd will be given

it into fuel, building them with bitumin-
Gus substances, such as pitch or tar, but
owing TO the nature of The combustion
of these substances they were 8oCn con-
sumed, when the coal dust resumed its
former state. The difficulty has been
solved by DR.. W. H. Corey, OF England,
who mixes the coal dust with small
quantity of fire clay, and adding small
quantity Of silicato of soda, or silicate Of
potash and solution. The three mater
ials are thoroughly mixed and submitted
to a pressure of one ton to the square
inch of the block surface. The blocks so
made are loaded into railroad cars, which

London's Clean Streets,

BIO Barnes London Letter.
I viii add, as a disjointed item, be-
cause Il just now pops into my head,
that the streets Of London are the clean
est I have ever seen. It is wonderful
the provision that is made for this, when
one reflects on the many thousands of
horses that go tramping through the
streets with the Rubbing attachments
Of light and heavy draft, the wonder
grows how everything is kept sweet and
pure. On the principal business streets
II the heart of the city, numberless
boys with cast-iron pans, shaped like
the common dust-pan, and stiff brushes,
gather up the droppings of the horses
al day long, running between vehicles,
under horses legs, eyading wheels, dart
ing upon their prey like vultures, whisk-
ing into their pans with a skillful turn
q the brush, and off to the cast-iron
shoots provided for the purpose and
connected with some subferranean
vault. whence it is taken away. At any
rate it disappears from the surface Of
the street like magic The boys get six
sbillin9s q week for their perilous work.
How they escape being run over is a
mystery, but such an accident Is of very
rare occurrence.

from the New York Herald.
81 think that Lincoln was to re-
markable degree both statesman and a
politician; that he based his views of ex-
pedlency on great principles, but that
IN executing expedient objects he was as
shrewd and keen politician as ever was
in Washington. He had broad SYM
pathy for human nature and he under
stood it very well. He was as devoid of
personal ambition and selfshness as any
man of whom we have q record in our
history. He was q man who wanted to
do that which was right and best for this
whole nation, south and north, and was
willing to go as near to the edge Of
doubtful expediency as man could go
and not so over the precipice; but he
saved himself"

In an inchoate form the very policy
that Johnson undertook to carry out un-
der change of circumstances. I know
it, because the Cleveland letter that I
wrote was the result of conferences with
Governor Andrew and President Lincoln,
just preceding Lincoln's death, as to
what were to be the next coming steps
after the breaking down OF the rebellion,
and at that time, under the circumstances,
it seemed to me that they had on the
whole very wise views. 1t may be said
almost in a sentence what their policy
was. 1t was to say to the leading pub
lie men of the south: Gentlemen, you
took your section out Of the union; you
must bring it back. We hold you re-
sponsible. We will give you ali the
power necessary to do it. Slavery is
gone, and as you went out with these
men who have been defeated, now you

A Druggists Mistake---Not Fatal.

A beautiful young lady tripped into
the drug store a few days ago, and told
young Speight, who presides there, that
she wished some castor oil, and asked
him If he could mix it up SO as to dis
guise the taste of it.
"Oh, yes" says Speight. Presently
Speight said: "Will you have glass of
soda-water, Miss ?"
"Oh, yes" says she. After drinking
the saltwater the young lady waited
while, and then asked Speight if the
Castor-oil was ready.
"Oh says Speight, "you have al
ready taken the castor-on in the soda
water"
"Great heavens F." said the young
hdy, Il wanted the oil for my mother. .
