A recently received consular report
gives an interesting account of the
French method of preparing sardines
for the market: The freshest fish are
chosen, their backs are cut off, and they
are well washed and sprinkled with fine
salt. After few hours, they are, ar
ranged in rows, almostperpendicularly,
on frames, which are immersed in pans
of boiling oil, which is changed from
time to time, when too black to contin-
ue the cooking process, when the fish
are sufficiently removed and the .oil
drained off on tables covered with zinc,
sloping towards central groove to
carry off the oil. The fish are packed
in their well known boxes by women
who sit around the draining tables.
When packed the boxes are filed up
with fresh olive-oil and soldered down
by men. The boxes are then placed in
an iron basket and immersed in n COW
cred boiler, where they are boiled in
water, the smaller boxes for half an
hour and the larger ones for Il longer
time, according to the size. They are
then dried, labeled and packed in wood
en- cases for shipment. ...

The Goddess of Liberty Calls on
the President.

The Washington Star of the 10th
inst. says: &c wiry little woman, about
40 years old, and with snaky curls down
her back, stepped up to the Presidents
doorkeeper this morning and solemnly
announced that she was the Goddess of
Liberty, and that she had descended
from the dome of the Capitol this morn
ing to see the President The door
keeper, somewhat surprised, showed her
to the ante-room, and asked her to re-
main there awhile. He shortly after
ward let a party of ladies in to see the
President, who merely wished to pay
their respects to him. Unseen by him
the Goddess of Liberty slipped in with
the party. Inside she created some
what of scene by rushing up to the
President, repeating her assertion that
she was the Goddess of Liberty just
stepped down from the dome, and de-
manded the pardon of her son, who,
she said, was now in the New Jersey
Penitentiary. The President, equal to
the occasion, Unanswered her out into
the hall again. She planted herself by
the doorkeeper and refused to move I'M
til she secured the pardon of her SON.
The doorkeeper, after considerable
trouble, got rid of her by saying that
the Attorney-General had all the papers
in her sons case now Mt the Capitol,
and she had better go up there immedi-
ately, as he would soon lock up his
office for the day. Hearing this she
decamped, walking brisklyin the direc-
ton of the Capitol.''

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

1t was reported ON the goth that the
two-years' term of the occupation of Bull
garia by Russia may be shortened, and
European commission, instead of Russian,
occupancy, might take place. Uneasiness
was felt in Berlin about the prospect of an
understanding between England and Rus
STA looking toward peace. Count Shouval-
off, on his way to London, stopped at
Berlin, seemingly having failed to
accomplish his first mission. On
the other hand, advices from CONSTANT
nople indicate strong hope that peace will
be speedily restored. Russian official pa
pers reiterate the statement that movements
OF the army before Constantinople are not
hostile or menacing.
The London Post of the 23d published
the following in semi-official form: Count
Schouvaoif brings assurance that the dis
position in st. Petersburg for peace quite
equals that in London. He is also the bear
or Of Il certain expression of Willingness to

Along Journey on the Wing.

An event which will be very interest
ing to students of natural history is to
take place on the 22d of June next, be-
ing race of carrier-pigeons on a very
long course-no less than about $50
miles, from Rome to Belgium, the hon.
ing point, l suppose, being Brussels.
There will be GOO or 700 birds entered,
all old fellows of four years of age and
upward, and if they take a direct
course they will have to cross Mount St.
Gothard, which will be decidedly a
frigid zone. The connoisseurs seem TO
think that the winner will take about
three days on the journey, resting on
the way. The last long race of the
kind was in 1868, from the same start
ing point, but out of about 800 birds
tossed only three or four got home. 1t
will be an exciting race for owners, and
quite as good an event as the other
way of making pigeons amusing.-1he

Excavations in Rome!

On the oath. of April the work OF ex- 4,
cavation in the Valley OF the Forum Ro-
manum was resumed. The area to be
explored now is the space between the -.
.Palatine Hill, the triumphal arch OF tt
.tus, the basilicas of Constantine, and the 70
Temple of Antonius. Doubtless there
will be another rich harvest of a variety
of objects of art and antiquity, With =:
deep interest we see archeologic, miners

stadium of the Paladine, bringing to .
light one by one leng-buried treasures II
Ia the short space of two weeks not on-''.
" numerous shafts Of columns cipolli-
no and red and black oranit capitals,
pieces of holdings and friezea, butt also
statues of much value were found. 4 the j
most highly-prized among them is Q
semi-colossal female figure without
head, measuring 2. 16 of a meter up to the
base of the neck. 1t is of such superior
workmanship as to be counted among
the best which have been brought
to light in Rome during the last
few years. The beautiful form OF d
this figure is brought out even more ex-
quisitely by the marvelously fine folds
of the drapery which clothes it, leaving
only the upper part of the bosom I'M
covered. In posture, the statue reminds
| one of the Ceres, No. SO, in the Braccio
| Nuovo of the Vatican Together with %
this statue, the lower half of a male fig.
ure was found, and pedestal and feet OF
another, apparently of the workman -
ship of the same master, and, finally, q
square altar with four figures in alto re-
hero. The excavations at Ostia are also
worthy of mention. In the ancient villa
of Hadrian they have, during the last
three months, uncovered an area of 200
Italian acres, exposing three large atria
with peristyles, of various construction
The first with the corinthian columns Of
cipollino; the second with right-angled
pillars in the dorian order; the last with
brick columns covered over with stucco.
The rooms adjoining these atrfa are re-
markable for the variety of their do
nestle ornaments. The mosaic and
marble floors are well preserved In
order to get an idea of the extent OF the
work that is now being done there, it
suffices to know that already 6 800 cubic
meters of soil have been cut out and re-

A RECENT Washington dispatch says
that in the event of declaration of hos
til,iss between Englaqb and Russia,
our Government will issue a proclama-
ton of neutrality, and use every effort
to enforcsits provisions. In the Turco
Russian war such a proclamation was
unnecessary, the interests involved in
that conflict being so far removed from
this country; in Russo-British war
events have demonstrated clearly that
interhai6nal Qualifications Pf a serious
character WIN arise if the United States
does not proclaim its neutrality and en-
force, as far as possible, strict observ-
ance of the treaty of Washington, and
fulfill other International obligations.

A TORNADO, moving from southwest

Oh the night of the Esd, carrying death
and destruction in its wake. At Nine

with great severity, large number of
buildings were demolished and their
occupants buried in the debris. Nine
persons are reported killed in this To-
cality and proportionate number in

but still very destructive, passed over
Madison and so on through the State,
sweeping every thing in its pathway.
The storm appears to have originated
far to the Southwest, crossing the Mis-

and its course through the State of Hi
