An Attempt to Have the Import
restrictions Modified.
BERLIN, Nov. 1s.-In the debate in the
Reichstag to-day on the budget, Herr
Barth, a progressist, moved to rescind the
restrictions on the importation of foreign
cattle.
Prof Virchow supported the motion.
He declared that the restrictions were en-
forced solely in the interests of the farmers
and land owners.
Herr Won Boetticher protested that the
law aimed to preserve the health of German
cattle. Disease continued rife abroad. The
increase in the price Of meat was not con-
fined to Germany, but was equally notice
able in neighboring countries. The in
terdict against the Importation of cattle
was not the sole cause of the advance in
nricaS.

Present Vacancy.

IIcbouJ NhCdACys
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Five names are
now being considered by the President in
connection with the vacancy on the su
preme court bench. Attorney General
Miller has been postponed until the next
vacancy occurs, when he expects to be ap-
pointed. Judges Russell and Brown of
Michigan neutralize each other. The other
three favorably considered by the President
are President Hitcock of st. Louis,
of the American Bar Association,
and backed by Secretary Noble;
Judge Brewer of Kansas, who is backed
by his relatives the Field family, and
Judge McCrary of Iowa, who is backed by
Justice Miller, whose protege he has always
been, and who will, If Judge McCrary is
appointed. retire to make room for Attor-
ney General Miller. This would probably
secure Judge McCrary's appointment were
it not that he is also the protege of the At
torney General. Neither Judge Gresham
nor Judge Woods is now being considered.

The National Museum has recently OBJ
tanned live specimen Of the SoIenodon

this family are found only in Cuba and

been seen in this country or IN Europe.
Our natural will now, therefore, have
their first opportunity for studying the
habits Of this curious creature. 1t was oh.
tanned through United States Consul
Reimer at Santiago, and was shipped to
the National Museum, together with two
others, which, however, died during the
VOYAGE, and their bodies were pre-.
served in alcohol Mr.. True, the cur
ator OF the mammal section Of the mu-
scum. states that very little is known Of
the habits Of these animals except that
they sleep during the day and go out al
night to search for the insects upon which
they chiefly feed. Their long faxibls
noses are supposed to DO useful In smelling
out their prey. This Is perhaps the most
curious feature about these animals
Their bodies are covered with coarse black
hair, with the exception Of the ramp,
which is bare The solenodon belongs to
the same order as the mole, but they con-
stitute family by themselves. Since the
arrival at the museum this solenodon has
lived on bits OF fresh meats, but it is the
intention to make an experiment with in
sect diet and ascertain whether the in
sects of this latitude agree with it There

The compiler or the pamphlet, however,
neglected to mention the London address
Of the concern OF to note that there is
London end.
On the title-page it purports to contain
the names of persons deceased whose next
of kin, heirs at law, and personal repre-
sentasives ara wanted; also persons who
have,bsen advertised for to claim vast
sums of money and property in Great
Britain and all parts of the world. These
names are said TO have been collated from
advertisements since away back in 1861.
Scattered throughout the pamphlet are
pages covered with alleged extracts from
newspapers, anecdotes Of great fortunes
suddenly acquired, curious will cases and
the like, all to excite tho reader with the
hope that similar luck may be In store foI
him. Here is one of the briefest from
many: "A Liverpool tram conductor has
received an intimation that he is next in
kin to a West Indian planter named Cort
who has left 100000" The catalogue
gives surnames only, and the Christian
names will be supplied to the applicant
at the rate Of two dollars per fam
lily. That is, to suppose case,
some person by the name of Campbell
gets the fortune hunting craze, and, buy
ing the pamphlet finds that the Campbell
has 1s7 marked after it. This means that
in cases of intestates 1877 persons by name
of Campbell have been advertised for since
1850 The fortune-hu ter, for 50, gets the
given names of the 1877, in which list he
may search for his own OF that OF some
ancestor. The majority Of the names have
no numbers after them, sIgnifylng thai
only one of the family has ever been miss
ing when there was money to be distrlo-
uted. But it costs the fortune-hunter 81 just
the same to get the given name OF the SOL
itary heir. Having obtained so much hs

see the advertisement il which the name
was mentioned If he is still hopeful ne
may have the DEGREES, orders" etc, al

money stands to his credit for $l3.25. The
indications are that thousands of fools are

Change of Military Tactics.

Contemporary Review
1t was one of the maxims Of Napoleon
that an army ought to change its system OF
tactics every ten years. His meaning was,
that success does not rest upon forms
which can be copied by other armies or
Generals, but upon living energy and intel
ligence, which are always capable of de-
vising new combinations; and that formal
ism of any kind is seatb to armies, as &c
other institutions
