News From Richmond.


The following dramatic story Of how
the news Of the surrender of Richmond
reached Washington Is told in volume
Of Geographic tales by w. ]. Johnson:
On the morning of April 3. 1865. one
Of the most important messages that
ever flashed along wire came to the
Office at Washington. 1t was the news
that Richmond had fallen. and that the
war was at an end.
1t seems that shortly after halt-past
nine in the morning the Washington
and Cherrystone operators along the
line of the Fortress Monroe and City
Point wire were startled by what
seemed foolish demand from Fortress
Monroe: Turn down for Richmond,
quick"
The signal was answered promptly
never more promptly. Then came the
question, do you get me well?"
Il do; go ahead"
"All right. Here's the first message
for four years.
The message was as follows:
Richmond, Va, April 3. 1895.
Hon. T.. NJ. stanton, secretary or war.
I'VE entered Richmond at O'Clock
this morning.
&c. Weitzel, Brigadier-General Com
handing"
The operator who took this.message
was William e. Kettles, then fifteen
years old. He remembers starting ur
from his chair. upsetting inkstand and
instrument, and kicking over tin thai
sat at the fireplace In order to make
noise. Then he rushed to General
Eckert's room, where sat President
Lincoln and Mr.. Tinker, the cipher
clerk. talking in a low tone.
As Kettles was about to hand the
message to Tinker, the President
caught sight Of the body Of the words
and with one motion and two strides
message and President disappeared or
the way to Secretary Stanton's room
Fifteen minutes later rumors of the fal
of Richmond had been sent far and
wide over the country.

Frozen Poultry.


Poultry frozen during the winter as q
means of preserving 1t for later use
should always be dry picked, says q
writer In New York Produce Review.
Only the very choicest goods should be
selected for this purpose. and extraordi-
nary care must be taken that the stock,
be thoroughly cold and dry when
packed. The treatment varies according
to circumstances of weather, etc. Prob
ably the best results are obtained when
the stock can be frozen by natural out
door temperature. But in seasons and
localities where this is impossible the
freezer may be used successfully. Cases
only should be used, made of planed,
well seasoned lumber. For old tom tur-
keys the size Is 36x22x18 inches, and for
young toms 36x22x15 inches: these
should be of inch lumber. For
chickens, ducks and geese the
size Is 30x20x about ten inches Tor
deep enough to allow for two lay
ers) made Of five-eighths inch lumber.
Two layers Of poultry should be packed
in each case. Stow the poultry snugly
and closely, striving to have an regular
and handsome appearance as possible.
Turkeys should be packed backs up and
legs out straight. Chickens, ducks and
geese should have the breasts down on
the bottom layer and up on the top lay
er. Pack old toms separately and
never mix them with young toms and
hens. and never pack old fowls and
young chickens together. Each should
be packed separately and the kind neat
" stenciled on the outside Of the case.
