There is widespread dissatisfaction
among the working people OF Germany,
according to the Ameritm Cuitjcaioy,
over the laws excluding importation Of
foreign meats. These laws arc ostcnsibly
for the preservation OF the public health
by excluding meat from diseased ami
mails, but this thin disguise doe, not
deceive the people "a, to the real purpose
O! the exclusion. In many places under
these law, meat hns been made 50 dear
That it is inaccessible TO wcrkingmcr.
The large landed propriptors profit 10y
these laws, but they result in 50 much
popular dissatisfaction, which finds cN-
preston by emigration to this country,
that the Government cannot much longer
resist the inevitable necessity of changing
them.

Where Toys Come From.

Wooden carved toys are chiefly made
in Germany and Switzerland, the cheaper
kinds in the neighborhood Of Nurem-
berg, and the better qualities at Some
burg, in Thuringia, from which latter
place about twenty-four million articles,
valued at $500, 900, are annually en-
ported. Large quantities of wooden
toys are also made in Saxouy, where an
ingenious process Is in use for diminish
ing the labor involved i'll the production
of animals. A circular block of soft
wood is turned into ring of such
pattern that by slicing it vertically II
representation of an animal (say AN ele-
phanO is secured. Each rudimcntary
figure is then trimmed by hand, the cars,
trunk, tusks and tail, all of which are
separately turned and sliced by the same
method, arc inserted, and when the
animal has been painted and vanished it
is ready for use.
Clay marbles also cone exclusively
from saXony, being made from clay
not found elsewhere. The better qualities
come from Holland, where they are
made from fragments of aabaster and
other stones. Taw and alley, the COM
mon names for the two qualities prn-
cipally used in this country, are abbrc-
yiations of tawny and alabaster
A great ten days toy fair is annually
held at Leipsic, when more than six thou
sand merchants exhibit their goods in
every available inch of space, even in
the garrets of the six-storied houses.
Marburg, in Hessen, is chiefly occupied
with the manufacture of musical toys,
while Biberach, in Wurtemberg, is noted
for substantial metal articles, such as
carriages, locomotives, furniture, etc.
The speciality of Switzerland is wooden
cottages, models, etc. Some of the
large dealers do very well out of the in
dustry, but the actual toymakers in both
countries are miscrably paid, and find it
very hard, even by the most unremitting
toll, to gain subsistence from their en-
ployment, many of them being obliged
to supplement their earnings by engag-
ing in outdoor labor during the summer.
The productions of Holland are very
similar to those of Germany. Cham.

The grypt town of Shoshone, north O.
Cape Colony, South Africa, has been
abandoned by the entire population. All
tha. arc lett Of the people, about 20, 900
in number, who lived in Sho-hong, are
few white traders, who stay there to
traffic with the natives of the surround
inc country. \ while ago Hahama, the
famous King OF Bechuanaland, and his
oounsclors, decided that, Shoshong had
suffered so severely from scarcity of water
for several years past that they would
seek new site for the town. A desirable
situation was found about 100 miles north
west of Shoshong, and not great ways
from the Limpopo River. 1t was a large
undertaking, as the people are quite well
to do and have good deal of personal
property and about 1000 cattle. The
fields of corn and millet which they
abandoned extended for many miles
around Shoshong. The transfer occupied
about a month, and the people in their
new huts have at least the certainty of an
ample water supply. Shoshong was the
largest native town in South Africa.

ONE or THEM

The parade Of the hambeaux club and
Republican torch bearers last evening was
a very creditable one and furnished a vent
for Republican effervescence which was
probably appreciated by those who in
dulged in the luxury oftramping through
toe streets. There was. however, a
noticeable and significant absence of
workiugueu IN the ranks. Me and f.
f." may be Republican gospel straight,
as was asserted later at the opera house
by Mr.. G. d. CLARK, but somehow the
preaching of it does not touch the heart
OF the rank and file as closely as the Ma
chine Republicans could wish.
Speaking OF Mr.. Clark-there we have
a nice, neat, trim built Young man who
never tears a passion to tatters in his pub
lie addresses plausible gentleman who
makes a point Of never creating any an
tagonisms and who has given his time to
studying corporation law and cultivatinS
popularity. Mr.. Clark, however, makes
one, mistake, but he has the ..satisfaction
Of knowing hat the same mistake has
been made by every Republican newspa,
per in Wyoming, that is that the people
Of this glorious commonwealth are more
concerned in the political elevation of j..
NJ. Carey and F. E. Warren than they
are in the future OF the state. We have
no doubt that in the mind of Mr.. Clark
and all the Machine Republicans Me
and +. E.' are Wyoming. They are the
state p~ersonifed. They probably didn't
discover America, as a speaker at Lara
ME claimed the other night, but they Just
naturally took poor little sore-eyed Wy
oming when she was a founding and they
nursed and coddled her until she has be
come a sprightly member Of the sisterhood
of states.
Mr.. Clark doesn't live in Cheyenne,
but is a worshipper at the shrine of the
oligarchy. He has been useful to "Me
and F, f." and they try 70 make the
most of him. They made him judge in
the Third judicial district and then pre-
vented HIM FROM qualifying so that he
might run for congress for them. Mr..
Clark, therefore. stands squarely upon
the Me and F.. T." platform. With
that ship he is willing to sink or swim,
live or die, survive or perish.
His alliance may benefit him politically.
but we will all know more about It when
the election returns come in.
