TRICHINOSIS IN GERMANY.—The Secretary of State has received a communication from S. consul general at Berlin, in which he the states that within the last few weeks not less than thirty to fo inosis have been discovered in town In Silesia, vicinity. Similar cases, the consul general says, are reported from time to time from other places In Germany, showing that the theory which led to the prohibition of Ameri- can hog products has received a set back by facts which cannot be denied. Mention is de of the great sensation created in com- ial ciretes at Berlin, caused by the Dill introduced in the U. 8. Senate, the fate ‘hich the manufacturers and exporters of Berlin look upon with no little degree ot anxiety. Extaa Hours 1x THE Post Orrice DEPaRT- MENT.—The clerks in the appointment division of the First Assistant Postmaster General's office have been working until 5 o'clock every day since the 4th of March a year ago und for the first three months of that time they gene- rally remained at their desks and worked until nine and ten o'clock. The great pressure of work arising from the numerous changes in the fifty thousand post offices made these extra hours hecessary aud, recognizing the necessity, there have been no complaints made. ‘The work, however, is now so wellin hand that a return to the old hours isnow under considera- Ucn. Both Col. Stevenson, the First Assistant, and Mr. Fowier, the head’ of the appointment division, are anxious to relieve the clerks from theirextra hours, which is imposed without ex- tra pay, und it 18 probable that by the first of the month the 5-o'clock order’ will be re- seinded.

Howard to be major general to succeed Major General Pope, who was retired March 16, was determined upon before Secretary Endicott left Washington yesterday afternoon, and the Pres- ident sent General Howard's nomination to the Senate to-day. The nominations of the two brigadier generals vice Generals Terry and Howard were not made, as the President has not yet decided whom he will select from among the colonels. There are about forty officers of that rank who are available for the two generalships, and many of them have been working very hard to be promoted. They have brought their strongest influence to bear upon the Presidentyand some have been here in Washington supplementing their backing by personal endeavor. Colonels Merritt, Willcox and Ruger still seem to be the favorites, with long odds In favor of the first mentioned. THE CONFIRMATION OF MAJOR GENERAL TERRY on the 12th instant was announced to-day. It was supposed that immediately after his con- firmation he would be assigned to the com- man¢ of the division of the Atlantic, to succeed Major General Hancock, but it is now learned that there is a probability of Gen, Schofield’s showing a ee for that command. In that event Gen, Terry will be assigned to the command of the division of the Missouri, where he will control the largest and most active part ofthe army, and Gen. Howard will be sent to the division of the Pacific.
