International ExposItion.

The United States consul at La Guayra,
Venezuela, reports to the State department
that the centennial exposition of Bolivar will
be formally opened in the City of Caracas,
Venezuela, in July next. For this affair"
he says, "much elaborate preparation is being
made and in view of the fact that the inter-
csts of France, Germany, and England espos
cally will be fully represented there, it is
greatly to be desired that the merchants and
manufacturers of our own country should
prepare such an exhibit of the resources of the
United States as shall maintain, and even ex-
tend the enviable prestige that we already en-.

Referred to the President.

ain modest minion" our esteemed morn-
ing contemporary asked, somewhat reproach-
fully we thought, if The NATIONAL REPUB-
LIcAN had an opinion as to the number in
ternal revenue collectors necessary in this
country. 10 this The NATIONAL REPUDLG-
CAN responded nay With this reply was
mingled little playful irony to the effect that
not having investigated the facts We could
not well form a conclusion. In bold brc-
vicr" " aud plenty of it, our noigbor comes
back insisting upon our organship, and aCcus-
ing us of evasion. 1t says that it has the
backing of the republican house for its opin-
ion that one third of the revenue collection
districts should be abolished. The house
may have been correct or not. We
investigated the subject. The Posts claim of
inallibility for the last house is Il new thing.
But, says that sapiont journal, the recon-
mcndation was made presumably with the
approval of Secretary Folger and Com
missioner Raum." That would bc violent
presumption. Was the river and harbor bill
framed with the approval of the secretary of
war? And yet the secretary and commits
soner may have approved the reduction of
collectors. We never asked and never heard
whether they or either of them ever did so or
not. Has the Post so asked or heard? 1t
says, "The house did not fail to con-
suit Mr.. Raum before deciding that
forty-sx districts ought to be dispensed with"
But this it says inquiringly, as if prepared to
be Mortified by contradiction Did the Post
ever know the house to cut down the force in
any Department or bureau against the wish of
that department or bureau? Is not such ac-
tion very common thing? We repeat that
we know nothing of the necessities of the in
| tcrnal revenue bureau. We have great faith
in Gen. Raums Judgment, and have therefore
rather depended ON him to run the thing.
| The President is also on the lookout. In
deed our contemporary seems to think
he has already determined ON the re-
duction our approval of which seems
/ so essential to its happiness. All right. TIE
, NATIoNAL REPUBLICAN refers the whole
matter to the President, confident that with
the aid of the commissioner of internal reve-
| nuc, the secretary Of the interior, and last,
| though not least, the editorials of the Post, in
"bold BREWER" he cannot fail to make what
ever reduction the good of the public service
| will permit.

Secretary Folger continues to improve in
health. He rests well, and his appetite is
comparatively good His condition, yesterday
was such as to encourage his friends to hope
that the worst is over, and that he is now on
the road to recovery. His convalesCence will
be slow however, as his illness has impaired

The usual way Of preparing sturgeon
for market, however, is by smoking.
Strips an inch or two thick are put
through plckling process, then hung
on hooks over a slow fire OF oorn-cobs
or sawdust Of hard wood. After thus
smoking for q single night they are
ready TO be shipped TO any part Of the
country.
The preparation Of cayiare Is an inn
portant part Of the business. While
this is not yet In AS general use In this
country as in Russia and other parts of
Europe, where Il Is so highly esteemed
that no rcpast Is served without II, il Is
coming into favor, especially IN the
Western and Southern States. There
are two sorts Of caviare, the soft and the
hard; the latter being worth about
twice as much as the former, The
value OF the best hard cayiare, in ihe
South, early in the spring, is said to bo
from fifteen TO twenty cents apound.
In order 10 make the best article il is
necessary TO strip the roe from the stnr-
geon as soon as possible after the fish

break the eggs apart and to free them
from membranous tissue. Next the roe
is thoroughly salted, after which II
stands certain length Of time. Then
II is emptled into fine sieyes, where II
remains till It is so dry as to roll like
shot. The finished caviare is packed
into casks previously lined with napkin
linen, each layer being salted with fine
table salt. Each keg holds about $50
pounds With proper care the cayiare
may be kept for year or longer. For
the trade il is often canned like fruit, in
which condition it will stand transpor-
iation to warm countries, and will keep
an indefinite length of time. 1t may be
eaten as put up without further prepar-
alton, though it is thought to be inn
proved in flavor by the addition of lit
lie vinegar or lemon juice, Pressed
