T Bismarck 1 ad better let up on the American hog. rr he may find something worse tban TltlCIIEU!. Fatal caes of trichinosis bare jnst oc curred in Michigan and Indiana. In both Instances German families were (be sufferers, and the victims bad been eat' ing nncooked swine's flesh.- The per n'clous habit of eating smoked or sailed pork, without cooking it. retains its bold noon the Germans, notwithstanding the warnings of physicians and the frequent report! of disease And death resulting iron the practice. It lathis habit to which the great prevalence of tricbno&is in Germany la to be attributed. Mr. Nimmo, Chief of the Bureau of Stali'tles, has made a report to Secretary Folgcr on the hog question. After giv ing statistics of the industry and the German and French edicts in regard to American pork, ho says: "The most ir ritatiog feature of the restrictive meas ures adopted by Germany is the fact that tbat conntry forbids the transportation of snob products across her territory in transit and bond to other countries, not withstanding the fact that abundant pro- Visions exist tbronghont Europe for the security of merchandise so transported OTtr railroads," A history of triohirro is given, and evidence tbat the danger Arising from the consumption of pork is iifinlteslmal. Secretary Swank, of the American Iron and Steel Association, has collected from the manufacturers the statistics of the pig-iron business of the conntry for 1883. The total product of the United Stateswas 5,HGj972 tons of,2Q00 pounds each, as against G. 178.122 tons in 1882 The total production of Pennsylvania in 1883 wan 2 038,801 tons: in 1882 it was 2,110,250 tons. Statistics fall of signifi cance in relerence to the number of furn ftoes'.in blast were also obtained. On January 1, 1884, there were C83 furnaces in the United States, of which 271 were in Pennsylvania. Of these C83 furnaces ;H were in blast at that date, of which 113 were in Pennsylvania. On J.innorv 1, 1883, there were 417 furnaces lu blast In the country, of which 185 were in Pennsylvania. On July 1, 1883. there were 331 fvnaces in the entire country to bust, or which 151 were in Pennsvl vanla. Mr. Swank said Saturday tbat the prospects for the current year were not so bright as might be desired, .and a good many furnaces have already gone of out blast since the first of tbe year. Tux question of tbe Bible in the pub llo schools has arisen in a new shape in Iowa. The complainant said tbat the teachers of his two little girls turned the school from its lawful design Into a place of worship and relicioas instruction, and xit.de of themselves "ministers of relig ion therein, in the presenco and hearing of alt their pupils." The Bible was dal lyread, tbe teachers and pupils repeated tbe, Lord's Prayer, and religious hymns were sang, lie gave notloe to the principal of bis objections to these re ligions exercises, and requested that they be discontinued, but all in yain. He then appealed to tbe law. Judge Barton refused an injunction. To say thai a school where the Bible is read as s part of the morning exercises, or where tbe Lord's Prayer U repeated, or a hymn sung. Is a place of worship, or tbat such teaohers are ministers of religion, seemed to hi honor more specious tban sound. He beJJ, moreover, tbat Iowa's constltn tlonal provisioa granting religions tol eration, mi& prohibiting the Legislature from providing any religious establish meet, is not contravened by laws which recognize the Scriptures, or the Supreme Bving. or Sunday as a religious day ot aoat, bat that such laws are legal and wild. A POINT WELL TAKEN. At f meeting of th Housa 0mralttee o Invalid Pensions, hut week, Itenre- tsotatW Mwrlll an ex-Union soldier and inemberof the Grand Army offered tb following resolution, vthloh was un animously adopted: Jlaolvcd, That it is tbe cense of this com mittee tbtt wheoever the Government baa enlisted a soldier and accepted his services that the soldier thould not he required, in ordr to obtain a pension, to prove that he was sound aad in good health when enlist tdj and that tbe Government should be stopped from setting up that tbo disability eiittcd prioc to enlistment The fuel of tbe matter U, says lha Na xiiNir,.

FROM WASHINGTON Special to the Carbon Advocate. Wamunoton, Feb 21, 1884. Tbo question of the adjournment of the present session Is the subject of con slderable talk among members jnst now, though tbero are but few wbo expect an early adjournment. Iudeed, the general opinion is tbat if the House makes no greater progress tban it has so far made, the sossion will last until August It Is known that Mr. Randall favors an ad' journment At as early a day as possible, and tbat he hopes to bring about an ad journment before tbe National Demo- oratlo Oonvention Is held. It is thought the Convention will be held In tbe latter part of June. The political gossips around tbe Oapllol assert with great con fidence that a movement Is on foot to fix up a presidential slate for tbo Democratic party which sbhll be beaded by Senator Bayard, of Delaware, and ex-Senator McDonald, of Indiana, Messrs. Bayard and McDonald bave been t,cen together frequently within tbe past two or three days, ana it is unnernooa imu tney (lis cussed the presidential situation. From a report prepared for tbe Slate Department it appears mat tbe total number of steamships of tbe world on the first day of September 1883 was 7. 731, of 9,232,090 gross tonnage. In tbls the British flag eaters for 4,019; repre senting 5,319,819 tons. France holds aecond position among European States wttb 4oB Bteatusmps, representing (j07, 471 cross tonnage. The German mer chant steam fleet has a total tonnage of 476.839, Alter Uermany. m tbe order ol importance, come Italy. Spain, Holland. Russia and Austria, Hungary. In the last five years tbe angnmeutation in the number of the world' ships has been 1, 809, having 3,052,161 gross tonnage. Tbe merchant sail and steam marine of tbe world numbers 43,833 ships, with a capacity or 22 879,973 tons. Tbe business of Congress is now as Burning something like tangible shape. Nearly 0,00U bills, many of them of a private nature, bave been introduced in the liynse during tbe session, so far, nori ol' this number less than 200 baye been considered by the committees and re ported back for action. But matters nave reached tbat point where it is pox sible to tell what is coming next. Thi bill to prevent the spread of contagions diseases among cattle will occupy some attention this week, and the Wars and Means Committee will continue to bear arguments of business men concerning prospective tariff legislation. It is not thought that Mr. Morrison's bill will be reported for two or three weeks at least, Tbe subject of torfeited land grants will continue to occupy tbe Attention of the l'nblio Lands Committee for some time. And the busineca of tbe other important committees is in such shape that there is no reason to expect anything like a legis latlve earthquake lor a week or two. Washington has not been bo full ol stranger? since Inauguration day aa it was all last weak. The hotels were crowded to overflowing, and many were turned away for lack of rooms in which to put them. The Illinois Press Associ ation and the Mississippi River Conven tion furnished A good share of the cro'snl. but there are swarms of lobbyists nni men interested in legislation lurking around. Tbo President's ene reception of tbe season ws given arter my letter or last week bad been mailed, end it was a brilliant occasion, Tbe entire lower floor of then bite House was thrown open to tbe public. A temporary en trance was constructed in tbe roar of tbe Dlplumatlo Corps, and an exit was made by bridging the area in front of the bouse. Tbe rooms were decorated with a profusion of exotics from the creen house, and brilliantly lighted, while mcsio was furnished by tbe Marine Band, which was xlatloned in full uniform In tbe outer corridor. This affalr.however. did not come up in brilliancy to tbe more select and elegant fancy dress ball given by tbe daughter of Senator Miller, of Calitornla. Tbe dresses worn by some of tbe ladies on that occasion were really works of art, and some ladies sent abroad for jewelry to match their cos- inmes. lo even chronicle tbe lunch parties, high leas, dinners, recentions and germans, would require columns of an ordinary newspaper, and they are, as one of tbe Cbineee secretaries astutely remarked a few evenings since, "allee samee." There is tbe same extravagance in floral decoration and in gaslight, tbe same extra servants, tbe same musicians, and the same dishes on the supper table. The most magnificent affair thus far has been the ball of British Minister, Mr. West. Twenty years ogo, when a yanng attache, Mr West, wbo was the third son of tbe Earl of Delaware,' married a Spanish actress. His mother, tbe Coun tess of Delaware, was one of the unre lenting old dowagers that we read of in English novels, and she refused to re cognize an actress as ber daughter-in-law. Mrs. West died in Paris about ten years since, leaving three daughters, to wuom tne Minister has always been an indulgent father. Tbe oldest one re sides with him here, and is a great fav orite in society. The other two are young girls yet. A leap year assembly is to be given during tbe present month, by 100 yeung ladies, and it is proposed tbat they wear dress coats, mado nf silk satin, yelvet or broadcloth, while the gentlemen wear waists of some fashionable material, with low neck and short sleeres. Many of tbe young nieu object to this nondescript costanie, while others wbo have handsome arms advocate It strongly. Regular lo tbe Camion Advocate,. WAsnixovroN, D. 0., Feb. 20. '83. Although anuounced to sit with open doors the Senate Committee to Investi gate tbe Danville Anti-election riot was qnite a difficult body for a stranger to find when it commenced its sessions. The room occupied is without a sign on the door, which was kept closed durlug tbe first day, bnt opened thereafter by Mr. Sherman because of several very loud complaints. Tbe evideoce thus far produced is only a repetition of tbat presented before tbe Citizens Committee which investigated tbe matter in Dan ville a week after the riot. The report of the committee will be in accordance with Mr. Sherman's wishes, as the Re publicans bave tbe msiorilv. A minor ity report is predicted by many, and iuu Asviuuvrnuu uuuieuiiou lor us adop tion will give Sherman, Mahone aud other "bloody shirt" Senators an onnnr. tnnitv to create McAin at tbe public expense. The report ot me eomuiiiiee will nardly reaob the Senate before the 1st ot Mirch as the investigations here and in f lo.Uul.,.,, will not be concluded for another Week or more. f OUTIOAI. ASSESSMENT! The bill introduced in tbe Senate by - - uu.cau.ucub employees whi submit lo political as. otxiuieuiH uims a oiow fti mo worst evil In our politics. It is true, as Mr. Voir bees says, tbat so long us officials are permitted by law to bund their mouey over to cumpalgt committees, meaus will be fouud to compel tbem to do so 'voluntarily,' of course. The civil Berries law nrnhlhltit miM,manr, !... tbe law is ingeniously evaded by the xwiiuuueans. a win give you an tn stance: The lite State electiou in Ohio coat the Ir.-4ntlldlnnna a lavnA enm nt money and ut the clo.e of the campaign ion tvaie uommiuee lounil themselves lo debt neirly $15,000.

' iawrence called ft meeting of tbe Ohio Association and requested subscriptions to liquidate the Aforesaid deficiency, and over- five hhndred clerks "paid up." Bart Franclsoo, son of Andy Francisco, editor of tbo Toledo Tkixorah, And a member of the Ohio Association and A clerk in the Government FrintinK office. said to mo that when a demand came from tbls source every member invar! ably contributed money, knowing tbat a failure to do so wonld result In his being "spotted," All tbe Important States have these Associations and they are of ficered end managed by, Government of- nciais ntgn in position. Tbe debate in the Senate on Mr. Voor bees' resolution was not a fortunate in cident lor all wbo took part in It. In fact, it was notably unfortunate for Mr. Harrison, of Indiana, and a would-be- President wbo, giving way to impulse, uttered sentiments that would be ap plauded only by that element of his party which was supposed to bave been crushed in 1882, when the people rose in their miabt to put down llnbbelism Whether the bill will become a. law can not be surmised. Too noitEvr in tbe nousE Tbo various railroad companies inter estca in land Brants, for tbe forfeiture of which bills are pending, seem lo have abandoned Any idea of stemmiug tbe tide or sentiment sgtlnst tbem in tbe House, but tbey hope to Accomplish sometbing over in the Senate. Tbe rep resentatives of the railroads say tbat the Senate is a more temperate body than tbe House, and proceeds more judicial ly and less regardleM of publio senti ment in disposing of important matters They will make their light before the Senate, and tbey claim tbat tbey will win; but should tbey fail there, it is in timated tbat tbe validity of forfeiture legislation will be tested in tbe courts, It is a well known fact that many of the leading Senators Are financially interest ed in these railroad companies, and will do nothing Inimtoalta tbeirown purses. EXTENSION OF THE LETTER CARRIER ST8 TEM. It is now probable that all towns or 2,000 inhabitants and over will enjoy the convenience of letter carriers, Tbe House Committee on post offices bave agreed to report such a bill, as also one lor tne is sue of a special 10 cent stamp, wblcb. when Attached to a letter, will secure its immediate delivery at an any letter car rier office Irom 7 a. m. to 12 midulgbt These two measures would be favorably received by tbe public. BREWbTER's IMBECILE TREACHERY, Some time ago I promised to say more about the retirement of Corkbill. Tbe investigation of Brewster by Spring er v committee will bring out tne lacts, and I may as well cive them in advance. The President bad determined to re-ap point Mr. Corkbill, when firewater made a personal appeal Against It. "if Uork bill is re-appointed 1 am ruined, was the substance of this imploration. "I can only justify the employment ot special counsel In tbe otar Jlonie cases, and the enormous expenditures Attend ing it on the plea that Crrkbill was in competent to try tbem. To re-appoint him is te refute such nn argument I shall be disgraced And ruined by the in vestieatiou in such an event." Notwitb standiug this talk to tbo President up to the very last day Brewster pretended to Corkbill that he was friendly to bim and had recommended his retention. ItAZEN HAZED. Tlio result of the Proteus Inquiry vin dicates Lieut. Garlinaton and severely ensures General Hazen, wbo attempted to make a scapegoat of young Uarllngton for bis own blunders. The expedition was a series of mistakes and miscalcula tions Irom tbe outset, and the only blame attachable to the Court or Inquiry la, tbat tbey did not recommend Ueaeral Hazen's court martial. Otherwise, tbeir decision was not questioned. POLITICAL CATCn-AS-TOO CAN. Senator Logan is throwing out his bo ks lor A good round vote Among tbe soldiers, in case be is nominated tor tbe Presidency. Ho has introduced In tbe benate n bill to provide tbat persons honorably discharged from military or naval service of tbe United States shall be preferred for appointment to civil of fices, provided tbey are round to possess tbe necessary business capacity. If the soldier will cast his weather ear on the Senate, aud keep it there till next Fall, be will fail even to bear a faint echo from tbe bill, for it bas answered its purpose and is already dead. KFENDINO $30,000 000 TO PROTECT $10,- 000 uco. Mr, Morrison's Committee is besieged by various interests antagonistic to bis tartll mil. A number or Louisiana poll ticians are now in the city to conviuce Morrison tbat tbe duty on sugar ought to be retained. One or these protection ists said to me yesterday, in relation to tbe duty on sugar: "It tbe most burdensome tax whlob tbe American people bave to pay. It i6 a tax of $10 a year on every family in ibis country, we use jioo.ooo.ooo north of sucar every year. Of this amount our own sugar plantations pro duce a little over $10,000,000 worth. The other $90,000,000 worth is imported, and we have to pay a tariff equal to about S3 per cent, of its value. It amounts to a tax of $50,000,000 to protect a $10,000,- 000 industry, And we conld better aQord to board every sugar planter and an their laborers at tbe Fifth Ayeune Ho tel. But, you see, we are bound to pro tect tbem, for tbey spent their money in improving their plantations and erecting refineries under an Implied agreement that tbe country would protect tbem. and if this Democratic House don't do It, tbe Republican Senate will." Our New York Letter. Reiratar correiponaence or Advocate. New York. Feb. 19tb, 1884 The thick heavy weather bas materi ally delayed tbe Frisia, which is now on ber way across tbe Atlaotlo with tbe remains or De Long, Collins and other heroes of tbe North Pole.

While on tbe editorial staff of tbe Herald be was always dabbling in some scrt of meteorological experiment, and whatever prestige the Herald bas gained by its weather prognostications, it Is due solely lo Collins' work. Iu 187C, when ilea uaie was uiown up, iollins sug gested tbat tbe explosion would afford a splendid opportunity for testing tbe lapidily with which soond traveled, as also the distance to which tbe shock con sequent npon tbe explosion would be ieii. as a result, tbe uerald started ont a staff of over a hundred men, plao ing tbem at various points from tbe East lliver, opposite tbe scene of explosion, as far as West Point Eicb observer armed with a sheet of white paper, a pendulum with a soft lead pencil in its centre, a glass of water, a spirit level and apiece of putty. The putty was used to fix tbe spirit level. Tbe pendu lum was hung against the white drawing paper, and thi glasa ot water placed near the spirit level. When tbe'sbook came after tbe explosion, tbe pencil in tbe pendulum described one or two faint curves, the bubble in tbe level moved. and rings formed on tbe suiface of tbe water lu the glass. Tbe number of these vibrations were duly recorded, aud lbs memoranda given to Collins, wbo used mom lor a series or elaborate calculi Hons which proved of much value to tbe interests of science. Tbe Stock Exchange, I am informed, is on the point of beginning an elaborate crusade against tbe buoket shops where thousands of young men weekly squan der their, salaries, mprtgage their fn lutu and eventually rob Ihttr employer. in the vain hope that they will be able io oeai ine hiock Market iiower Broadway Is filled with these dens, and np town tbey Are springing up At snob n rate as to show tbat tbe matiin for gatnb lino is spreading.

Houses where they gamble on. tbe green cloth ere closed, bnt these places take tbo money of tbe deluded dupes with all the" more readiness and rapidity. Tbe way in whioh this, nefari ous gambling can be stopped Is by the removal of the Stock Exchange Indicat ors or tickers from places of this kind, The Gold and Stock Telegraph Compan has leased from tbe Exchange the priv ilege of furnishing tbe quotations of tub market It grants instruments to such houses only as sre approved of by tbe governing committee of tho Exobange, Of conrse many of tbe bucket shops get Instrnments surreptitiouslv.bnt it is (ins pected that many improper awards atb connived At oyemplojees.

If the tele graph company fail, then tbe Governing board cau take Away tbe privilege of supplying tbe quotations And furnish its own news. The effeot of these buoket shops is damnable, And press and publio opinion should unite in 'suppressing them, for their influence is worse than that of gambling houses in as much as the gambling in the former places bave the appearance of legitimate business,' if speculating In securities Is legitimate bnslness and thus can be maintained longer and without a sense of shame. The fuuerali of Hon. Theodore Boose velt's mother and wife on the same day. last Saturday, was one of the saddest events that stirred np society in the city for a long time.

For a long time there has been a deep niurmer of discontent among the people of tbe Borough of Leliighton And tbe question bas been many times asked since the local election last Tuesday whether the people of this Borough bad the right to name and elect their Ircal officers or whether a small, puny brained fellow , who is boss at Psckerton, should .'ontinue to exercise this power. A little fellow who evidently never had his nose cleaned thoroughly sioce bis mother last wiped it. A small man who lives from the sweat of other men's brows. A little man who has his cellars slncked with tbe choicest liquors, and who receives many presents. An unprincipled lellow who represents, for the time being, a big soulless corporation, which would reduce still further the present starvation wages of its workingmen if it could. And which would impose upon tbem still greater and more burdensome tasks. This would be called business. Let me say here aword totho workingmen at Tackerton. I do not wish to find any fault with the. Company for whom you work. But you Laye no doubt experienced tbat it Is not a charitable institution. I think eyerybody will agree with me that you tully earn all the money you get. It is not a Company that is in the habit of giving much away to its laborers lor noth ing. It will make you work like the serfs of Russia lor your little pay. Therefore, I can not understand why It Is, if you earn your wages and do your work well, that you should be dogged around and bull doled on eyery el ection day to yote to please this impudent "ruts naus" who happens to be the "boss." He lives so high that he Is getting big in his awn conceit Some day it may become important lo know who actually pays for it. The Company you work for is conducted UDon a plan to make money and not to bull-dnte voters to please little petty boss at Psckerton. II tho mansgers Knew an inai mis nine boss bas done, they would not tolerate it. I have the correspondence and confessions of this same little boas in my possession, when 1 held bim lo account .wo years ago for bull-dozing and intimidating the poor workmen at Psckerton. It was a burning shaioe, it was so mean, contemptible and unprincipled Ibat it would not Lave been allowed in any country In tbe world. When he saw my arraignment oi him he confessed and begged off and got his tool, W, II. Monts, whom he had elected on that occasion, to resign and have it published in the Mper. Out of pity (nobody could bave any reaped) I then let tbe matter drop. Ilut as be persists to continue his wicked career we must all put our shoulders to the wheel and lift together and get our rights. In conclusion let me once for all aay to all workingmen wherever they be, stand firm for your rights, vote for whom you please: try and get tbe best wages you can; do a fair day's work, and allow no corporation nor "boss ' lo rase you unuer ioov. This is sound doctrine and you have tbe power to enforce It lours truly W.M, IlAl'SIIEIt. reb.Sl. 1BS1 lt, VMw Lytton's Bridge. Where It Tenches the Shores and the Oreat Columns tn Mid-stream.
