The common people in England speak all sorts of dialectic abominations, but with the ex- ception of perhaps one man in 10,000 they do not speak anything that bears any respectable relafion to written English. The English drawl- ing burr is quite as uninteliigible and not half so musical as that brogae of the Irish which the English are so fond of ridiculing. It is, on the whole, nearly as easy for an American to understand a French porter as an English one, and if the Frenchman pretends to speak Eng” lish he ita hundred times better than the Londoner does. When it comes to proper namés, names of streets or anything which can- not be guessed from the context, th Londoner is as utterly unintelligible ear tintrained to the monstrosities of his | niga nunciation as if he spoke Choctaw. It is a thousand pities that the English cannot be taught to speak the American language, which is a hundredfold more clear, more classic, more elegant and more consistent than the tongue spoken in England.

To the Edlitor of The Evening Star: Your report of the proceedings of the House yesterday states that the Washington and Ar- lington bill was called up, debated, amended. and recommitted. As the Congressional Record shows, that bill was not before the House, but another and very different bill was, viz: The Georgetowr and Arlington bill. The latter bill provides for a railroad starting at the terminus of the Washington and Georgetown railroad on M street, thence across the Aqueduct bridge through the Arlington estate. The Washing- ton and Arlington bill provides for a line be- ginning at the Center Market along, B street, Virginia avenue, 26th and M streets to a point on the river opposite the Three Sisters, and thence across on a bridge, to be built by the at its own expense, and thence through the Arlington estate; in brief a continuous ride from the centcr of Washington to Arlington for one fare and asking nothing from Congress but the simple right of way. <= pindassi na Elections of Officers, Cyrus Castle, No. 1, Knights of the Golden Eagle, of the District of Columbia, has elected the following officers to serve during the ensu- Noble chief, John L..

THE WASHINGTON MARKETS. A Star Reporter Strolls Among the Dealers and Buyers. CHRISTMAS ENTHUSIASM—THE GREAT TURKEY TRADE—WHERE THEY COME FROM AND WHAT 18 DONE WITH THE LEFT OVERS—A TURKEY CORNER IX VIRGINIA—GAME, FISH AND FRUIT. The presence of Christmas is distinguishable no more clearly elsewhere than in the market houses. Owen Meredith enumerated a great many things man may live without, but as serted most emphatically that cooks were not one of them—and what are cooks without cook- ery? cookery without cookables? “Here a little and therea little” has been overwhelmed in the magnitude and multiplicity of everything to be found cookable in the Washington markets this week. Every market house and every stall in every market house is aglow with Christmas enthusiasm. The dealers are hustling and the crowds bustling about in orderly confusion— one scattering out and the other gathering in the stock in trade of bouncing Christmas din- ners. The turkey trade is simply immense— some of the turkeys ditto—and the number left over unsold will be appalling; that is,would be but for the beneficent effects of the cold- storage system. Hundreds—doubtless thou- sands—of fine, fat-looking birds will be left on | ‘the hands of dealers when the sun of Christ- mas day will have set upon a thoroughly stuffed and unboundingly happy people, and some- thing must necessarily be done for the vation of the left-overs. That something is to pack them away in cold atmospheric regions, where they can rest ina peaceful and normal condition until brought out for fatare usef nes. Many of the “freshly arrived” birds of next Saturday—aye, even of New Year week— will doubtless be unfortunates of the Christ- mas crop. Then they will appear, perhaps, for the third time, apparently none the worse for wear, seemingly as fat ard plump as ever and hanging up as pleadingly to passers by as be- | fore. AROUND IN THE MARKETS. Without turkey Christmas is not even a good imitation of Christmas, therefore turkey isthe leading commercial commodity just now. It is estimated that 40,000. many say more, will be devoured on Thursday in this city. One dealer in Center Market bad over 2,000 on hand this morning, and said he had a “reserve fund” to draw on in case he sells out, which he expected to do. just what the reserve fund is only he and, perhaps, the cold-storaye peop! Know; others can only surmise. The wholesale trade this morning was very brisk, choice stock bringing 17 cents, but the general run was sell- ing for 15 cents to 16 cents per pound. There ‘were a good many wild turkeys at 20 cents re- tail. Geese and ‘ducks were, of course, not #0 much in demand, but people who wanted some- thing of the kind to replace the higher priced turkey were paying 13 cents to 15 cents for them according to plumpness and the necessity of the dealers working them off as soon as possi- ble, for the Christmas poultry trade began to move last week and some is on hand yet. THE BEST-DRESSED TURKEYS are those that come undrawn with the heads chopped off and the neck skin drawn toa point and tied tightly over the neck bone. The air is then practically entirely excinded and they | keep better and longer. ‘The freshest and therefore the most desirable stock is from Vir- Maryland, a greater number coming ginia than any other place. The coming from Pennsylvania and Ohio is considerable, but Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York naturally attract the choicest of these shipments, while the choicest of the near- by sections come to Washington. ‘The choicest f the Ohio and Pennsylvania stock, as a rule, is entirely stall fed, and the meat is as tender and delicate as the’ most exacting gourmand could wish, but they come high and go mostly to the eastern cities, where the price is a small consideration. It is said that a horse can be taken to water but cannot be made to drink; with a turkey this principle is a dead iseue, for when he is ‘stall ed” he is generally made to eat. Prepared food is stuffed into his throat and he sw:llows it simply because his mouth is held closed and he can do nothing else with it. Then he be- gins to fatten and gets xo lubberly that and meditates and gets fatter—quietls the arrival of the evil hour when he and his spiritual existence must part company. A TURKEY CORNER IN VIRGINIA. The methods of gathering the great number of turkeys necessary for market, preparing and shipping them is an interesting one. Few farmers have more than a dozen or two, and of course as a rule they cannot afford to ship them in small parcels.” Some near-by farm do, however, and many a i up a hundred or so annually from her pout yard management. The great bulk of turkeys are bought up by special dealers. men go through a section of country fifty or more miles square and buy up the turkeys and drive them afoot in droves, as cattle are driven, to acertain point, where they are systematically dressed and prepared for shipment. At Glade Spring, in ‘southwestern Virginia, is one of these great turkey pens.
