AiFlinS and Dressing Poultry.

Almost every locality has its own system,
but ! may advert to a few facts on this sub
jcct Poultry when hlcd to death is much
winter in the flesh. | should advise the
loling Plan, as the very best, causing in.
slant death without pain or disagreement
Open the hcak of the fowl, then with
pointed and narrow knife make an incision
at the back Of the bcak which will divide
the vertcbrT and cause immediate death
after which hang the fowl up by the legs till
the bleeding ceases, then rinse the beak out
with vinegar and water. Fowls killed in
this manner keep longer and do not pre sent
the unsightly external marks as those killed
by the ordinary system of wringing tho
neck. When the entrals are drawn imme-
diately after death, and the fowl stuffed; as
they do in France with paper shavings or
short cocua-nut librcs to preserve their shape,
they will keep much longer fresh: Some
breeders cram their poultry before killing
20 make them appcr heavy. This is most
injudicous plan, as the undigested food soon
enters into fermentation and putretacton
takes place, as is evidenced by the quantity Of
grccnish, putrid looking fowls that are seen
in the markets.

put, in this respect, on the same level with
the white citizen if he is liable to no other
or greater penalties for the same crimes if
the courts are equally open to him for the
redress of wrongs if hc can buy and sell,
hire and be hired with the same freedom {;
if he is taxed at the same rate in short,
if no law is enacted which does not bear
precisely alike on the two races, the inability
of the negro to vote cannot very seriously
cndangcr his rights Of person or property
any more than the same disability cndan-
gers the person or property Of the non vo-
ting immigrant, or the majority of English
men in their own country. Awhile leglsla-
turc is not likely tooppress black citizens when
it can pass no laws which do not operate on
the people of both races alike. Passengers
at sea are generally as safe as if they had
command of the vessel. The fact that she
cannot be foundercd, or burned or dashed
upon rocks, or wrecked, without equal de-
struction to all on board, is guarantee
which keeps the minds of ordinary voyagers
tolorably composed, except 50 far as they
may be disturbed by the unavoidable acci-
dents of the deep.
There will be no difficulty in obtaining for
the southern negroes a guarantee Of perfect
equality before the law. If Congress, when
they meet, should be disposed tomake such

The Human Frog.

There Is a man on exhibition in London
who calls himself "Natator," Or the human
frog, and who performs feats under water.
Mr.. L. Buckland has examined him and
makes a report thcrcupon. "Natator"
practices in an aquarium, and the following
are some of Ills icats
'lIc desccnds and eats under water, 4
sponge cake or bun. lie opens his mouth
to show that he has really swallowed it. 1t
is most difficult to swallow cake under water
without also swallowing water. it required
three yeats practice to do this performance
with safety; for if, when under water he
should happen to cough, The water would
enter, he would instantly be chokcd, and
serious accident would ensuc.
Ascending TO the surface, soda water
bottle is handed to him; he dives with it to
his perch at the bottom, and drinks down
the contents, viz: a half pecnyworth of
milk he chooses milk because of the color
and in order that the audience may see that
he actually drinks it from the bottle this
is most difficult trick, as it is hard to swa-
low the milk without the water getting in
to his mouth.
\ lighted pipe is handed to him he
takes few whifts above water, and then de-
scends with it; when under water, he man.
ages somehow to keep it alight, and to emit
bubbles, which, coming to the surface. burst
in little puff, Of tobacco smoke. Coming
to the surface, he shows that his pipe is still
alight.
lie Is young man, twenty years old, five
feet seven and half inches in stature, and
nlno stone six pounds in weight; he is
lightly built but exceedingly well made an /
muscular. His pulse on coming out of the
water gave one hundred and forty-eiglt
beats to the minute twenty minutes after
they were nlncty-two to the minute.
When he first began to practice long stays
under water, some four years since, he use
sullcr from severe headaches, but now these
have quite disappeared; he never hasr
matisn, Or other ache or pain in any form,
though he goes through with his perform
ancc at h'll-past ten every right, and somc-
times twice Il day. The water in his aqua
rum he manages to keep at temperature
of about sixty two degrees, but the warmer
the water is the longer he can stay in and
the easier his performances become. The
longest time he has ever remained under
Water alta stretch has been sixty nine seconds,
and Il few weeks ago he remained sixty-four;
his ordinary tricks require from ten to thirty
seconds under water
