It is considered an accomplishment for n lady to know how to carve well at her own table. It is not proper to stand in carving. The carving knife should be sharp and thin.

 To carve fowls (which should always be laid with the breast uppermost,) place the fork in the breast, and take of the wings and legs without turning the fowl, then cut out the merry thought, cut slices from the breast, take out the collar bone, cut of the side pieces, and then cut the carcass in two. Divide the joints in the leg of turkey.

 Tn carving sirloin, cut thin slices from the side next to you, Git must be put on the dish with the tenderloin underneath, then turn it and cut from the tenderloin. Help the guests to both kinds.

 In carving a leg of mutton or ham, begin by cutting across the middle to the bone Cut tongue across, and not iengthwise, and help from the middle part.

 Carve forequarter of lamb by separating the shoulder from the ribs, and then divide the ribs.

 To carve a sirloin of veal, begin at the small CT end and separate the ribs. Help each on' to piece of kidney and its fat. Carve porl and mutton in the same way.

 1 To carve a fiiet of veal, begin at the top ank help to the stuffing with each slice. IT breast of veal, separate the breast and bris ket, and then cut themup, asking which piec' is preferred. | In carving a pig it is customary to divid' | it and cut off the head before it comes to th' table, as to many persons the head is revolt ing. Cut off the limbs and divide the ribs.

 In carving venison, make a deep incisiol down to the bone to let out the juices, an' turn the broad end toward you, cutting deel | in thin slices.

 | For saddle of venison, cut from the tai toward the other end, on each side, in thi slices. Warm plates arc very necessary wit venson and mutton, and in winter are desir able for all meats.-NatiOndl Agricalturdlis

JEALous,--The people of this Territory more especially those of Northern Arizona have the best of reasons for looking to San FraDeisco for words of encouragement and cheer, but they do not always get them. One influential journal, Of that city, tells its read CTS to remember the Apache" before rush ing to our mines, which advice would be very good but for the sneering manner in which it IS given, and tbe vein of jealousy that crops out, because the Yulture mine, in this Terri tory, yields, per week, nearly as much gold as the Eureka, at Grass Valley, CaliforniA's crack mine. Now. when 1t is generally known that almost every dollar Of gold and silver taken out in this section finds its way to San Francisco; that most of what we eat, and all Of what we wear, comes from San Francisco. the oourse of the journal to question is hard to understand, entirely wrong and uncslled for.

Channel Race.


From present appearances there 10 every
promise that we shall have a race between the
Cambria and the Sappho in British waters, and
early In the season. At least this may be
taken as the practical consequence Of what ir
Douglas, given elsewhere; but races are In
these days so apt to be much discusses before
the start that it is not safe to accept anything
relating to them too positively. The race pro-
posed by Mr.. Asbbury and accepted by Mr..
Douglas Is one OF 'series," and num-
bers as high as ''four," though 1t was
still not the highest. This plan OF
proposing races ''in series" gives some
range Of choice to the challenged party.
But we see that Mr.. Douglas has still, with oil
this range Of choice, taken a race that he does
not believe will be altogether fair one for his
boat Are we to suppose from this that In all
the races Of six series the one most fair toward
him is not altogether fair? The race decided
upon is for sixty miles to windward from a
point In the English Channel and back. Mr..
Douglas objection is that this will give long
race with the wind on the best point for the
Cambria and not the best point for the
Sappho for the whole course out, how
ever It may be for the return, and
on the return the chance is as good for
one as for the other. For half the race, there
fore, he believes his opponent will to dead
certainty have . clear advantage. We doubt
this In the first place 1t is not clear that any
body can make race for sixty miles to wind
ward. The wind may hold for twenty miles,
but before yacht makes sixty miles it will
change. If, therefore, to sail on the wind Is
the Cambrias best point she win probably
have that point for only one-third the course
out Aside from the point Of races definitely
discussed, the owners of the Cambria and
Sappho 20 into several polemic nicoties into
which It Is scarcely profitable, in a yacht
ing sense, to follow them. One o.
these Is clearly a case of metaphysics.
II touches the relations Of fear and courage 10
the human soul. Mr.. Ashbury has said thai
an American once hesitated to race him
intention to impute want Of courage. Hero
upon In comes Mr.. Douglas with the sound
old-fashioned notion that man cannot bs
brave and afraid both at once and presents the
postulate that 'the presence Of fear impliea
the absence Of courage" though this he means
not physically, butmoraly only. This is good
metaphysic but has 80 little to do with yacht
ing that we think the gentlemen will have to
turn it over to Herbert Spencer.

Senator Spencer. OF Alabama, is ambitious
of handing his name down to posterlty as the
stern guardian of the public Treasury and the
advocate Of economy. He believes that the
expenditures Of the government are too large,
and with view to reducing them he has intro.
duced bill in the United States Senate which
provides for the dismissal Of some three hun.
dred and fifty officers Of the navy, and the
consequent saving Of half million Of dollars
was to be expected. The moment our poll.
ticians are aroused to sense Of their extrava-
canoe they propose to curtail expenses by
reducing the salaries Of our army aud navy
officers or by attacking the commissions OF
such officers. If there were any too many
epauletted gentlemen employed in tho navy we
should not object to Senator Spercer's bill,
but it Is q notorious fact that there Is no mari
time power Of consequence in the world with
smaller navy and smaller staff Of naval
officers than the United States. The PROPOSE
tion to discharge more than one-fourth the
total number on the active list including Ave
rear admirals, thirteen commodores and ten
captains, Is so manifestly absurd that we can
not believe the Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs will ever report tho bill. We advise
Congress to let the navy alone. There are
none too many officers in It, and those that we
employ are men of experience in naval war.
fare not less than the science of navigation.
The republic cannot do without their services.
If Mr.. Spencer is really DESTROYS Of saving the
public money let him introduce bill reducing
the salaries Of Congressman to three thousand
dollars per annum. Such reduction will
save the national Treasury six hundred and
thirty thousand dollars every year, and will
enable us to leave undisturbed efficient and
gallant men who have risked their lives In
defence Of the Union and who deserve better
reward than that which is proposed for them.

The New York Mechanic says" 1t is salts
faction to know that at least something is being
done in regard to apprentices that has pract.-
Assembly had usder consideration last week
bill, the leading provisions OF which may be
summed up as follows: No apprentices shaI pc
taken without full indentures, nor Tor less tasn
three nor more than five years, the employers 70
be bound to provide suitable board ana medicai
attendance. While this bill will, perhaps, bear
some modification, it can scarcely be seriously
OF the boys of the present generation at heart.
We have no apprentices, in the true sense OF
the term Boys are only half taught, and in
many cases not even that. EMPLOYERS have
little or no control over them in the shop or out
of ii. As a result, American skilled workmen
are rapidly being supplsnted by ignorant scrubs,
and unless a change for the better takes place
soon, the field Of mechanics will be almost
entirely occupied bv those who have acquired
knowledge of their business In other countries.
There are. to day, in all our cities, establish
ments in which not single American workman
is employed This deplorable state OF affairs is
due to the simple fact, that native journeymen
cannot be found who possess the requisite
knowledge of the work done. We shall await
fate of this bill when it reaches the legislators OF
New York. In the meantime, would II not be

proper discussion of it win not elicit such facts

That something must be done Is painfully
evident, if we would not have our boys grow up
half instructed in the branches of trade they
adopt at a calling. Almost daily We are con-
fronted with the INJURY, what shall we do with
our boys? If parents and guardians will be
advised by us, they will have them thoroughly
indentured as apprentices, and made thorough
workmen, and not allowed to run Iiot, and do
license, to become as worthless as men as they
