THE BRITISH FLEET AROUND CUBA-THE APM-
CAN SLAVE TRADE, &C We understand that the
British West India feet which is now concentrating
a. feet Of observation around the island Of Cuba
has two objects in view First, it is intended -
sort Of blockade gainst the African slave trade with
the island; and secondly . safeguard against any
possible renewal Of the Lopez experiment by the I'll.
hb,.stoos Of the United States
Az far as the African slave trade is concerned,
Spain is bound, in common with England, France,
Portugal, and the United States and Brazil,
to put it down In this view, therefore, the British
feet off Cuba is designed to enforce upon Spain her
treaty obligations If the commanding officers Of
the squadron do their duty, it will materially affect
the perquistes of the Captain and his local
agents, and Of the Queen mother in Spain, derived
from this contraband traffic. 1t was the refusal of
General Conchs to accept the usual hush money,
per capita, upon African slaves smuggled into the
is and, and hsundsguised hostility to the business
that effected his recall Cahedo is different sort
Of man, with something of the money making pro
clivties Of Tacon but the British cruisers shall cut
of his supplies they justly required to do,
peot to hear Of his shortly returning to Spain, whe
Their recalled or not. This movement Of the British
government may also exercise small influence over
the future destiny Of Cuba for such is the and
tear Of the slave population, from the present ex-
hausting system Of cruelty under which they are
worked on the sugar plantations, that it has been
estimated that the actual working force in the
sugar cultivation has to be renewed once in about
every seven years Under such state Of things,
the suspension Of the supplies from Africa, if rgidly
enforced cannot fail to lead to the most important
results
In respect to the fHibusteros, We apprehend that
the British squadron Of protection and observation
will have but little to do. But let them enforce
their embargo upon the pratical slave traffic from
Africa and the affairs Of the island will put
practical shape for renewal Of our negotiations
with Spain. We are more and more inclined to the
conviction that England j, beginning to understand
her true policy, in reference to the island Of Cuba,
and that, in any event, there will be no war be-
tween John Bull and Brother Jonathan concerning
the " Queen of the Antilles " See the article from
the London Morning Post, which we publish to-
day. There need be no alarm in Vail street.

Moving Grass Early.

The question whether early or late cut
ting of grass produces the best hay, is still
an open one some maintaining that grass
should be gathered when tender and full of
juice, and others, when in full bloom, and
some when the seed is so fully matured as
to shed freely when dried for the barn.

experience, that early, very early hayi1g is
the best. Hay that is made early is eaten
mast freely. Jess reieaied and wasted. and
stock kept on it look best | will hint at
only one particular observation, and my
reasoning from it that has caused me to
adopt early moving, saying nothing about

it has attained its full growth, AS hay is
nothing but dried grass, nothing added, and
nothing subtracted but water, should we not

The Rappers.

The Journal Of Commerce has exhumed
a vertable rapper of the eighteenth centu-
ry, in the shape of a young girl, who played
mysterious pranks with chairs, tables, and
wash stands, at Hackensack, in the Jerseys,
about the year 1889, 1t is quite likely,
from the account, that the Esprit" of this
"rapper" has entered into the FISHES, if
not the FOXES of the present day. The re-
port, taken from the Ne0' York Packet, a
newspaper of the time, dates from Fshkill !;
most probably, the ancestral seat OF the
family
Our neighbor is Of the opinion that dupes
date as far back as Satan in Eden. He is
quite right. But there are numerous inter-
mediate and quite prominent Professors"
of the rapplng art. 1t has occurred to US
that the modern history of the institution"
dates with the Earl of ROCHESTER, one
of the most lcentlous nobleman of the most
licentious age and court of England If
the FISHES and Foxes, and their hybrid
apostles Of the Nineteenth Century, are not
willing, as we presume they will not be, to
own up to this origin, it is not less clear
that they derive all the grossness of their
imposture, without lis wit, from their great
prototype Of the Seventeenth.
The history of Rochester's incantations,
is a strange and eyentfuI one" The rec
ord is rather rich for our columns. We
commend it TO the Spiritual TeLgraph.-
That book will be found at Appleton's.-
The facts, indnbitable ones, are briefly, that
when this noble and "gifted" Pander was
temporarily banished the Court of his dis.
soute and royal mas,cj, Charles The Second,
in Difference to decency which even
that Merry Monarch could not st at def

Astrology, Physiognomy, Alchemy and the
sister gifts, and such was his success, that
multitudes focked to his rooms in the Old
City of London, as well to avoid dangers
that threaten, as to lay hold of advantages
in prospective; to be cured of the worst of
disorders by stealthy and unseen and un-
felt agency, and for the restoration and re-
juvenating of personal beauty. His leyees
were crowded by all ages, conditions and
sexes. he was a RIPPER of the first water ;

The Moral Character of Pigs.

Some folks accuse pigs of being very fill
thy in their habits, and negligent in their
appearance. But, whether food is best eat
en- of the ground or in clina-plate, is, it
seems to US, merely matter of taste and
convenience, on which pigs and men may
honestly differ. They ought, then, to be
judged charitaby At any rate, pigs are
not filthy enough to chew tobacco, nor poi
son their breath by drinking whiskey. As
to personal appearance, you don't catch a
pig playing the dandy, nor picking his way
up muddy streets in kid slippers. Pigs have
some excellent traits of character. If enc
chances to wallow little deeper in some
mire-hole than his brethren, he never as
sulnos all extra importance on that account
neither are his brethren stupid enough to
worship him for it. Their only question
seems to be-Is he still hog If he is,
they treat him as such. And when hog
has no merits oil his own, he never puts on
any arlstocratic airs, nor claims any partic-
ular respect on account Of his family con-
nections. They understand full we'll the
common sense maxim" Every tub must
stand upon its own bottom" -BOSton Lit

Making Preserves.

AS the strawberries are already ripe, and
as we shall have succession of the differ
ent kinds OF berries and fruits, the good
housewives will be gathering and teazing
their husbands for sugar to pack them down
in for the purpose Of having preserves next
winter. The editor of the Granite Farmer
has chapter on this subject, and he rec
ommends to quit this boiling and skimming
and sugaring, and adopt the following pro-
cess, which he says he knows from actual
experience:
Prepare number Of cans, made of the
best tin, TO hold the quantity you wish to
prepare. 1t will be best to have these cans
small, to hold only as much as will be eat.
en- soon after they are opened 1t being
observable that any thing that has been pre-
served by an arrest of natural laws for a
long time, when restored to the influence
of those laws undergoes chemical changes
with great rapidly. Let these cans be
seven or eight inches long, and four or five
inches in dIameier--a hole being left in the
cap of one end an inch perhaps in diane.
ter The fruit selected should be perfectly
ripe and sound, having no spots of decay
aP3n it. Nht, aolter fruits, such as straw
berries, raSpberrles, &c, had better. be
crushed as the can may be more perfectly
filled, and the air more entirely expelled. =
Currants, plums, peaches, &c, may be put
in whole. (When the jars are intended for
large fruit, one end may be left unsoldered
until flle,l) When The cans are filed, a
piece Of lin is soldered over the hole in the
end, having in it a hole the size of pin,
to let out the air. The cansters are then
to be placed in boiling water, and so kept
until the air has ceased bubbllng out of the
pin hole. This can be easily known by
dropping drop of water upon the pin hole
if 1t bubbles then, the air is still ISSUING
from the canlster-if it does not bubble
then, the process is complete, and drop
of water will Theoretically seal it, "a drop
of solder would seal it stronger y If these
canisters be kept in cool place, the fruit
will have all the freshness at the end Of a
years time that it had when put in.
The editor says he ate tomatoes last
winter preserved in this way, that were as
good and apparently as fresh, as if lust
pucked from the vines.
The canisters, if taken care of. will last
tor many years. We need not say that they
should be well made and perfectly tight.
lest the air creep in through some hole or
chInk and spoil the whoIe.--Me. Farmer.

A long consultation then took place, and it
