BERLIN, Sept. 80.-The German Cow

against the importation of American
pork into this country. On the con-
trary, it is currently reported that the
condition of the great slaughter houses
Of Chicago and other places in the
United States, and at the instance of
the German Government, have shown,
according to the allegation of German
officials, that almost all the meat
which is killed in them is unhealthy;
and therefore Germany is considering
whether she ought not also prohibit
imports of American beef as we'll as
pork, as being almost equally un-
wholsome.
OF course it stands to reason that all
this is politics rather than facts; in
other words, that the Government here

Her captain, according to the New York

went to sea, so the others said. He was
chevalier whose gathered legs had
trod the primrose paths of dalliance"
quite as handsomely as they had trod

and that he was heart whole and fancy

the wharf. A moment passed, and
another. Then the glass dropped into
the Commodore's open palm. He turned,
and there was a smothered look on his
face, wierd glitter in his eye. "What
