Interesting from China.

Estimate of the Americans By the Chinese.
DF "A correspondent Of the New York Herald,
writing from Canton, China, under date Of Aug.
22d, communicates some interesting inforina-
Ition concerning American influence among the
Celestials. We quote: > is "''&
The Celestials have sound respect for the
English but Notwithstanding the Iatter have
been sadly represented during theperlod SINCE
the war, the former have not forgotten the ex.
perience of 1910; but they have yet to learn
fthaT America owns man of war that Chinese
Junk is not match for, and are fully convinced
that American diplomatists are merely sent
here TO serve the purpose of policemen for their
own countrymen.
I am of the opinion that these people prefer
us to the Others as merchants sor traders, but !
know they have no respect for us as nation
and it would be strange indeed if their views
were different. They saw the English enforce
a commercial treaty, and witnessed the Amer.
cans petition for the same rights, and granted
them. They have since found the English
carry out the letter otthair treaty--mainrain-
ing consular jurisdiction, with the necessary
staff Of officials Interpreters, &C., together with
a stationed man-of-war at each of those port'
to assist the said jurisdiction, and they have
seen Canton left for years without tribuna
of any description. to enforce justice where
Americans were the defendants, and Chinese
the plaintiffs and at various times this port
has been left without any judicial authority
whateVer;a they have seen no system on th'
part of the Americans to prevent the creates
outrages 90 the part of seamep; and while thel
see the American ministers and consuls treate'
with the most perfect contempt by their owl
mandarias, they hear through reliable channel
that those same American ministers plenipoten
tiary o write volumes of dispatches to. thei
own government at Washington that are open

PREPARING PouLTRY foR MARKET.--In the

LON give Us an opportunity to wake on your

well, and feed till fat, don't stuff them to make
them weigh. We have heard of a new dodge
TO cheat In poultry, that has been practiced that
Is stsrVe the birds too days and then feed them
with meal mixed with sand. If this trick ia
trled again we shall know it. and shall publish

roGitry can do sent here in cold weather
from Iowa or Wisconsin at fine profit. Hang
turkeys up by the heels and then open the neck
with penknife and bleed them 10 death.--
And thus is the best way to kill all sorts ofbi.ds.
though they are frequently strangled and the
blood left IN, which is bad practice. Upon
tins point Mr.. COnover, our Reporter of whole-
sale produce prices, says he had much expe-
rlence both IN preparing and selling poultry:
turkeys, Geese and fowls should be Killed

or close TO the head with sharp small bladad

the le9s and other parts that are thinly feath-
cred too much and picked perfectly clean with
out tearing the skin then see that there is no
elotted blood left in the neck, as that will soon
epoli aud taint the rest of the fowl and if the
head is cut off tie the skin over the neck. aaa
! ~ IS common practice to send here all sorts
of birds with heads on, 1t is a bad practice--a
foolish one-it wont pay-there is no market
here for heads. and although they sell aIppar-
emily for the same price as the bodies; in fact
they don't sell at all. The price is reduced so
that the heads bring just what they are really
worth-nothing. Birds all better when taken
out OF the boxes without heads. But never,
tremember pack one without tying the skin over
the stump of the neck, if the head is Ia ken off.
1t is a practice of some of the best poultry
men, after the birds are plucked, to plunge sud.
Idenly into boiling water, and then Immediately
into cold water This gives them a clean,
plump appearance, a nd makes them look fat, if
they are in deceptly good condition when kill.
