Against the Embargo on French
Cattle
THE RETALIATORY ACTION
Due to the Exclusion of American Meats
and Cattle
The Order Has Been Rigidiy Enforced, but
French Shippers Were Slow to
Awaken to the Fact
Associated Press Special Wire.

! ASSccldtcu FTeSS oDccial wire.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The French
government has made formal protest
against the retaliatory action of this
government in putting an absolute en-
barge on French cattle. A recent Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Havre an
nounced that the United States consul
had refused to permit shipment OF
! five French cattle to the UnitedS tates.
This rigid enforcement of the prohibi-
tion of Importation of meat cattle and
their hides from countries infected with
cattle diseases, including Europe, Ger
many and Switzerland, which is provided
for in the old tariff act of 1884, but not
invoked until seven months ago, when a
proclamation on the subject was issued,
is directly due to the aggressive policy
of countries like Frence and Germany
in endeavoring on one pretext or an
other to exclude American cattle ana
meats.
The effect of the proclamation whose
issuance has just attracted general at
tention has been the complete stoppaSe
of shipping cattle from France and Ger
many ever since last November, but it
was not until our consul. Mr.. Chancel-
lor. stopped shipment from Havre, a
few weeks ago, that French shippers
awakened to the fact. The French for
eiEn office thereupon communicated
with Ambassador Patenotre on the sub
here promptly called at the agricultural
department and made inquiries as to
the condition of affairs, and the actual
rights Of shippers.
Then the ambassador filed a communi-
cation with the secretary Of state in
which eh asked number of questions
and inquired why France should be dis
criminated against. The letter was for
warded to Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ton and the latter has just transmitted
his reply through Secretary Olney. In
this letter Secretary Morton cites the
law governing the subject and says the
only means of permitting the importa-
tion from the country from which the
ambassador is accredited Is by special
action of the president authorizing sus-
pension of the prohibition on satisfac-
tory evidence of immunity of the coun-
try from cattle disease. He also encloses
a copy of the presidents suspension pro-
clamation which authorized the entry
of cattle only from Norway. Sweden.
Holland, Great Britain. Ireland, the
Channel islands and the countries of
North, Central. and South America. Sec
retary Morton concluded with some Wig
conferred on foreign shippers by our
regulations. France alone has been re-
garded by agricultural officials here as
among the countries worst afflicted with
contagious cattle diseases, the percent
age Of stock affected being regarded as
unusually high. Despite this. however
the United States undoubtedly would
permit the entry of French cattle under
rigid inspection system if France
would make a similar concession to the
United States

a lack of judgment on the part of Clay

give the victory to the son of Midlothian
and Lasilla, amid roar of applause
rarely heard nowadays upon a race

could not be doubted. for from the time
he poked his nose into the lead to the
last fraction ofa second of the race there

HERB MOLLY.

In corner of one of the great mark
cts of Philadelphia little stall was for
many years occupied by an old Scotch
woman. She sold only heads of lettuce
and herbs, but few as crisp and freeh
were to be found in the city. Sometimes
the other hucksters urged her to spread
out" into the larger vegetables.
INA, nal" she would say. II ken my
salats an my herbs. / dinna ken tn
ithers. / suld cheat or be cheated wi
them"
Herb Molly never wronged any one Of
penny. Her sense of justice was SO
long proved, that disputes in the market
were brought to her to decide. Custo-
mers whe once stopped to buy the fresh,
crisp leaves from the tidy old body al
ways came again. Something in the
withered face looked out from under the
white cap went with them and drew
them to her again. More than one busy
housekeeper would go a mile out of her
way to buy from old Molly.
at is not only that her herbs are so
fresh and delicious" one said, "but it
rests me to speak to her. She is only an
ignorant woman, but SO true. so friendly.
1t is the kindest soul in the world that
looks out Of her eyes,"
In the twenty years during which she
sat in the same quiet corner, she gradu-
ally became power in the market.
Noisy people lowered their voices in
their bargaining when they spoke to
to her. Even Big Pete, the butcher and
rough, made her his confident.
1t was to Molly that the women car
ried their troubles about sick babies
and drunken husbands. 1t was Molly
who coaxed Big Pete's boy to give up
liquor, and who saved more than one
girl in the market from going astray.
She lived alone. These rough folks were
the only children she had. She had love
enough in her own heart to mother them
all.
But the thing that gave her such ex.
traordinary power over them was that
God was SO real to her. Big Pete used
to say, 81 believe in Molly's God.
Molly died the other day. There was
no notice in any paper to show that a
power for good had gone silently out of
the world. But her empty corner was
swept and closed that day, and over
every stall in the market hung scrap
of black. One man whom she had
brought back to decency and happiness
said:-
"a woman may sit as huckster in
this market, and yet be one of the angels
of God"
That was her only funeral Sermon
Exchange.

FEARLESS AND HONEST.

A Scotch lad landed at Castle Garden,
the brightest, yet the loneliest passen-
ger of an emigrant ship. He was barely
fourteen, and had not friend in Amer
lea, and only a SC vereign in his pocket.
"Well, Sandy said fellow passenger
who had befriended him during the voy-
age from Glasgow, don't you wish that
you were safe now with your mother in
the old country?"
NO." said the boy; II promised her
when left that would be fearless and
honest. I have her fortune to make as
we'll as my own, and 1 must have good
courage"
"Well. laddie, what can you do?"
asked kind voice behind him.
Il can be loyal and true to anybody
who will give me something to do" was
the quick response.
A well-known lawyer, whose expert
ence with applicants for clerkships in
his office had been unfavorable, had tax
en- a stroll down Broadway to ascertain
whether he could find boy to his lik-
ing. A canny Scotchman himself. he
had noticed the arrival Of the Glasgow
steamer, and had fancied that he might
be able get trustworthy clerk from
his own country. Sandy's fearless face
caught his eye. The honest, manly ring
in Sandy's voice touched his faithful
Scotch heart. Tell your story" he
said kindly.
1t was soon told. Sandy's mother had
been left widow with little money and
a child to bring up. She had worked
for him as lorg as she could, but when
her health failed she had bought his
passage to America, and given to him
what little money she could spare.
go and make your fortune" she had
said. BE fearless and honest, and don't
forget your mother, who cannot work
for you any longer"
Sandy's patron engaged him as an Of
fee boy.
"I'll give you a chance" he said, ito
show what there is in you. Write to
your mother to-day that you have found
friend who will stand by you as long
as you are fearless and honest"
Sandy became favorite at once in
the office. Clients seldom left the Office
without pausing to have word with him.
He attended night school and became
an expert penman and accountant. He
was rapidly promoted until he was his
patrons confidential clerk. After shar.
ing his earnings with his mother, he
went to Scotland and brought her back
with him.
you have made my fortune" he said;
land l cannot have luck without you"
He was right. When he had studied
law and began to practice at the bar,
his fearlessness commanded respect and
his honesty inspired confidence. Juries
liked to hear him speak. They instinct
lively trusted him. His mother had i'm
pressed her courage and sincerity upon
him. His success was mainly her work.

THE GREAT FREELY.

most of the warmer parts of America
and the West India Islands. 1t is said
to attain a length Of an inch and half.
In the gloom of night these flies are ex-
tremely luminous. and the effect is bril-
liant. The light chiefly proceeds from
four parts, viz, from two glandular spots

insects surrounded it. The same Span
lard lighted his palace with frehies in
silver cages. The display must have
been enchanting, for at one time the
light is ruddy, at another the tinge is
greenish then there is change to gol-
den yellow. 1t is stated that when the
Spaniards were about to land one of
their expeditions against Mexieo,a panic
was caused by these luminaries. The
host of fitting lights on land was sup
posed to be an indication of the enemy
arousing their camp to resist the attack.
