MARRYING A New York ACTRESs.-There
is an actress in New York, not now upon
the stage. but living in comparative retire
ment, whose marriage with the scion of II
young arstocrat has turned the latter's
family against him. Five years ago she
was the pet of numerous audiences, and
none who tripped upon the stage received
more sincere applause than this actress.
She attracted the attention of a young man
who lived on Fifth avenue, and whose heir
ship to q million was undsputed.
He sought her acquaintance, and in
various ways convinced her that his inten-
tions were honorable. Being connected
with high-toned family of an interior city
herself, she was fattered by his attentions,
and gave herself up to him exclusively.
Upon q promise to marry, she left the stage
quietly, and babe the boards goOd-by.
They were married in the presence Of a
half dozen friends, and Immediately went
| to Europe. Not until then did she discover
that he had by this act alienated his friends
and relatives from both, and it was only by
using her own savings that they were
enabled to return TO this country in
comfort. All efforts of joint friends tc
effect reconciliation failed but the young
husbands mother kindly gave him $1,000
with which he made "a start in business, anC
has since done moderately well.
The couple are living on Thirty .thirC
street, and attend the same church MS tn,
husbands family. They are independent
enough, live comfortably, and while regret
ting the alienation, are not disturbed by ii
An exemplary life has won for this woman
hosts of friends, and she is a real helpmas'
to a worthy man.

After the address the remains w,re con

followed toy an immense throng of friends
and several hundred carriages. Thcfuneral
cortege arrived at Vanderbilt Landing,
Staten Island, at two o'clock, and after
short service at the old Moravan Church
at New Dorp Cemetery, the remains were
deposited in the family vault.
An autopsy was held on the body Of
Commodore Vanderbilt on Saturday, when
IT was found that the immediate cause of
death was liberation and perforation of the
colon and the secondary cause was chronic
Inflammation of the bladder. DR.. Linsly
says that perforation of the colon is
necessarily fatal, and that it was the faith
ful nursing which he received during his
illness which had enabled the Commodore
to hold on to life as long as he had. The
examination was made by Drs. Thomas +.
Satterthwaite, l. A. Stinson and Francis d.
Buck, in the presence of Drs. Iinsly, Flint

Preparing Poultry.

Quick & Read, of New York, have pub
lished the following excellent directions
for fattening and preparing poultry for
market:
Never let poultry forage and shift for
themselves for at least ten days before
killing, for they are apt to range in the
barn-yards and pick up filthy food, which
permeates all through the bird, its flesh
frequently becoming 50 tainted that it is
unfit to be eaten.
The best method for steady and regular
profit, or for domestic use, is to keep them
constantly in high feed from the beginning,
with plenty of clean, cold water; then they
are always ready tor the table, with but
very little extra attention, their flesh will
he juicier and richer in flavor than those
tattened from II low and emaciated state,
always commanding Il quick sale, at the
highest price in the market, Il hpalthiul
nourishing and restorative food.
Some "cran" their poultry before killing
to make it appear heavy. This is most
lnjudiciOus plan, as it shows al a glance the
dishonest intention of the shipper to benefit
himself and swlndlc others in his effort to
obtain the price of poultry for corn. The
undigested feed soon enters into ternenta-
ton, and putreaction takes place, iniurng
their sale a great deal more than is gained
IN weight. Fowls should always be allowed
to remain in their coops at least twenty
four hours previous to being killed without
food: then they will keep longer and pre-.
sent better appearance.
The best food for iattening fowls, old OF
young, is barley meal, or mixed with equal
quantities Of corn meal, cooked and led
warm-a small quantity of brick dust in
! their drinking water is recommended
which will make their flesh iatter and more
solid. giving it a fine, golden color after
being dressed. Good food is poaitiy,
! economy.
The best mode for killing poultry, as il
causes instant death without pain ol
disagreement, is to suspend the birds by
tying their legs firmly to pole or heavy
wire across the killing room, at convcnien
distant from tic !luur. and opening tht
fowls icj,k, and with " sharp pointed
narrow.hladed knife. max" an uci>ion a
