ENGLISH CoTRTESIES TO AMERICAN OFFICER

From The Boston Advertiser

London to Admiral Erben and Captain Mahan and
the officers OF the Chicago are not taken very Sc

Inc ned to be very cynical about the affair. They
insist that England and English naval men par
tcu.ar,y have no love for the Unhed States for
the American Navy. Eng.lshmen recognize. how
ever that the American Navy Is now growing and
Is now powerful, and becoming moro powerful every
day and the sentment Is expressed here that It
would perhaps be for the interest Of John Bu.l TO
stimulate n friendly feeling for us. even II he does
not feel II.
Naval officers say that when they cruising
around the world and encounter the ships and OIL
OF the other navles they do not fraternlze with
the English TO any great extent The officers Of the
Russian and the United States fleets always frater-
nize abroad. In fact. It is pretty vel understood
here In the higher clrc.es OF the Navy and also
IN the State Department that II the United
States should get into trouble with Great
Britain or any other nation. the fleet OF Russia Ia
at the service OF this Government, and has been at
the service OF this Government for than thirty

UP WITH.

We have warned our readers that
two years ago vile, scurrilous and lying
circulars, &c, were sent out from Rel
eigh list on the eve of the election,
and that they might expect something
of the kind this year. We asked the
reformers to be on the watchout. We
knew that themills were at work; that
the tools Of interruptions men were
paid for to arrange these things. The
force is at work; they have begun to
mail, and we have had one sent to US
by the gentleman to whom it was
directed. The document before us is a
jjmdandy of it's kind. 1t is an 8 page
document headed Fusion" 1t is got
ten up evidently by a f~usioni5t; half of
it is Democratic and the other bali from
Republican archives. AS an attempt
at lying and SANDER it is a success; as
avote maker is too transparent. There
isnos an argument in it, nor an attempt
tOanswer an argument. 1t is personal
abuse and SANDER, so vile and filthy
that nothing can possibly be blacker
except the character of its authors and
those who circulate it, all of whom are
such sneaking, villainous towards that
they donot give their names, yet every
body in Raleigh knows its origin, au-
thors and object.
Look out! There is more to follow.
They are on their last legs. This is
their last resort, and this circular will
appear as one of the epistles of John by
the side of what you may look for.

DIRECTIONS

~SF@"S
Poultry for the Boston Market.
Killing and Dressing.-Food in crop
injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour, and purchasers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. ALI poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet. picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and. trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the incision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc, in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold o a
limited extent when therc Is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entralis, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.

cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No 2 stock in separate pack
ages. IfyOu have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate package or 18th
No. 2 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight, and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle and more
liable to get injured.

to only ship those in irst-c class order
smoothe, wellfattened, stall fed cattle
and weighing 700 to 900 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight. There is
nothing that pays better than the extra
condition in which you can place your
cattle on the market. The market price
is low now, only q to 3 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. I wish%-also to say that our
brethren lose by sending very small
sized chickens to market. They
are hard to dispose of at a very
low price, while good, well grown
chickens are ready sale on a dull mar
ket at fair prices. Be ready for the

load lots weekly. None but first class
