The deepest impressions of his life had been made during his years in the army. , The chaos of political parties at present prevailing in Germany, is unprecedented In history. More than twenty political parties are striving for supremacy at present. The large land owners, the small peasant proprietors, the merchants, the tradesmen, the mechanics, the laborers, the petty officials, the teachers, all and every one are dissatisfied and they all look for salvation from some political party of their own. There are the conservatives, mostly noblemen and their retainers, who see their only salvation in absolute monarchy and in protection of the German grain products. They are wroth with the Emperor and Caprivi on account of the commercial treaties with Austria and Italy, which admitted the products of those countries at a reduced rate of duty.

WASHINGTON. Baron Fava was formally presented to the President under his new title of Ambassador from Italy. The Department of State has heard nothing of any retaliatory measures taken or to be taken by China. The President is steadily gaining flesh in spite of the hard work and responsibility of his position. He has adopted the most rigid dietary rules and allows himself but two meals a day. His condition is a source of great regret and inconvenience, as walking has become burdensome and he is forced to dispense with needed exercise. Major Halford, paymaster, is to be relieved from duty as "disbursing officer of the Bering Sea Commission in Paris, and ordered to report for duty in Texas. The Mgjor has not had much army experience, for he was not appointed to his present office until the close of the last administration. Before he had time to get used to wearing his new uniform he was detailed for special duty with the Bering Sea Commission, and started at onco for Europe. Some of the older members of the pay corps grumbled at a “raw recruit” obtaining such a desirable assignment upon his first entry into the service, but the Major was not there to listen to their unfavorable comments. It is said that in detailing him for duty in Texas there is no Intention of reflecting upon him in any way or upon the action of President Harrison in thus rewarding his public servant. It is quite probable that when the Major went away the length of his stay had been arranged between him and the new administration officials. EXHIBITS SHUT OUT. The situation at Chicago resulting from Director-General Davis’s order to exclude all exhibits received after June 10 is becoming serious. There are at present over sixty car-loads of exhibits standing in the yards at Jackson Park, which cannot be unloaded while this order is in operation, and more are arriving every day. The yards are becoming crowded and the owners of the exhibits are becoming desperate. Besides this the custom officers have notice of fifty-one consignments on board vessels from foreign countries. Under the order of General Davis all these exhibits must be refused. An effort is being made to have the order rescinded.

Half a Dozen for Kach. Albany Evening Journal. Dick Gordon met a lady friend from the country, and after the theatre they went to an up-town restaurant. Each glanced at a bill of fare, and Dick said to the waiter: “Gimme a half dozen fried oysters.’-' “You may give me half a dozen broiled lobsters,” said the young lady. Mr. Gordon fainted and the waiter fell in a trance. Safety Assured. New York Weekly. Old Lady—Oh, I always get so nervous on a railroad. Don’t you think we're goin’ at an awful rate?
