HOW to Carve.

Carving is a very desirable nccom.

not learn,it by tuition, but by prac-
tice, Joined by small slice Of theory.
Ii is true that tho French style Of
serving meat sliced is fast banishing
the necessity Of carving at the table
of rich, but in middle life, where
such elegancies are not practiced, a
knowledge of carving should bc part
off boys or girls education. How
often DO we hear a person.say !. "Oh,
excuse me, l cant carve; never
tried" Or, ifit be attempted, one
soon finds himself sadly embarrassed
He grasps the knife and fork desper-
atoly. He has learned that slice OF

But il is not an easy task to seperate
them and ho thinks he would rather
chop wood than cut turkey. He does
notjknow that on the back of the tur.
key lies delicious morsel called the
oyster, and that the side bones below
the second joint are considered tidbits
This must be taught him. Ladies
ought especially to make carving q

often devolves upon them, and they
should be able to perform it with ease,
and not be forced to accept the assis.

dread the operation. The platter
should be placed so near the carver
that he has full control over It; if far
off nothing can prevent an ungrace.
ful appearance. A sharp knife is re,

blade. In carving turkey, cut OFF the
wing nearest to you first, the leg and
second joint then slice the breast
until a rounded piece appears insert
the knife between them and separate
thcm-this part is the incest bit of the
breast; next comes the "merry
thought" After this, turn over the
bird a little, and just below the breast
you will find the oyster, which you
separate as you did tho inner breast.
The side bone line beside the rump,
and the desired morsel can be taken
without separating the whole bone.
Proceed the same with the other side.
The fork need not be removed during
the whole process. An experienced
carver will dissect a fowl as easy as
you can break an egg or cut a potato

are carved in the same way.-Hearfh

former OF these is universally conceded
to be the more important, but neither
has distinct flag or regularly organ,
lied army. The Commissioners find
that Cabral does not claim TO be the
legal head Of the republic; that he
does not claim to represent the principal
constitutional or legal authority is shown
by the fact that in his proclamation
and in communication to the Com
missioners he styles himself Chief OF
the Revolution. The force at Cabral' 8
command does not exceed five hundred
men. The Commissioners believe that
had the revolutionists welded only
their own forces and resources they
would long ago have been put down.
Importance is derived from the help Of
foreign intriguers and from the fact
that behind them stands the Haytien
nation, which has nearly three times
the population Of Dominica, which has
never relented in its aggressive policy
and at whose head is a President ele-
waited by bloody insurrection.
All these difficulties, the Commits
sioners believe, would disappear should
the Dominican Republic be effectually
protected by connection with a strong
nation. In almost all sections OF the
country even the remotest Of the people
were found to be familiar with the
question Of annexation to the United
States, and have discussed it among
themselves with intelligence. They
generally declared their belief that the
strong arm of this Republic, taking
them under their protection as part Of
the nation, would end the efforts and
hopes Of every revolutionary leader and
establish law, order and prosperity.
The public sentiment strongly favora-
BILE to the annexation Of the United
States in preference to any other power,
is partially due to the presence in vari-
Gus parts of the country Of small colo
nies Of colored people formerly from
the United States.
The resources Of the country are vast
and various, and its production May be
increased with scarcely any other limit
than the labor expended upon them.
There is evidence of mineral wealth in
several parts of the island.
There is hardly any portion Of the
island not capable Of cultivation, and
taken as whole it is one of the most
fertile regions on the face OF the earth.
Agricultural products include all tropi-
cal fruits and vegetables, as well as
commercial staples. The average gen
eral health and longevity is quite equal
to, and probably greater, than that of
the United States. AS a whole, the
Commissioners state that the advantage
Of the acquisition.of Samana Bay would
be a powerful military and naval sta
tion. The sum total of the debt and
claims Of the government is $l56,5S3,-

LONDON, April 5.-The steamer Scan

the Great Eastern, leaves England early
in May to repair the Anglo-American
cables. With favorable weather it may
be expected that after reaching the To-
cality of the breaks, there will probably
be no difficulty in effecting the repair,
as the faults are only in depth Of l2O
fathoms. London is now in communi-

point to Hong Kong the cable will be
laid next month, and from Hong Kong
to Shanghai in June. The Singapore

SENATE.

Mr.. Patterson, from the committee or
Foreign Relations, reported and asked
the present consideration of bill to pay
Mr.. Schenck, Minister to Great Britain
his salary from the date of his appoint

proceeded with, and the resolution was
debated by Messrs. Casserly, Pool and
Frelinghuysen until $50, which was
the time appointed for the vote.
After number OF amendments were
rejected the resolution was amended so as
to direct the Judiciary committee to re-

adopted by q party vote-ayes, IS
nays, II.
Mr.. Anthony moved to take up the
concurrent resolution for q joint COM
mittee Of investigation upon the South.
At 4:30 a message was received from
the President of the United States
transmitting the report OF the San Do
mingo Commissioners.
The message was read by the Clerk,
and then Mr.. Harlan moved to lay it on
the table and print it.
After discussion, the Vice President
stated that, after taking the sense Of the
Senate on the motion to lay on the Ia
bic, he would submit the question,
Will the Senate consider the President 6
message this session? If this was de-
termined negatively, then the motion
to print it would not be entertained
without unanimous consent.
Mr.. Harlan's motion to lay the mes
sage on the table was then agreed to.
The question indicated by the chair
was then submitted and, on motion O
Mr.. Chandler, was tabled-27 to Is.
Mr.. Harlan asked that, by unani

letter from the Secretary OF State, II
which he states that the law provides
that no diplomatic representative shall
receive compensation for time ex
ceeding twenty days while waiting t
receive instructions. After that time
no compensation shall be paid till hi
leaves for his post Another section
provides that no sach officer shall re
ceive compensation for the discharge
of the duties of another Office. Mr.
Schenck, hile waiting for instructions
was requested by the President to re

of General Schenck were quite as oner
