O
American Fish.
WAYS 0F COOKING THEM.
New York Tribune.
“ ’Taint no use talkin’, dar ain't no place
in de world like ’Merica for fish,” said an old
colored cook recently.
The truth of her asservation may be con-
firmed any day by a visit to one of the great
Fulton market fish houses and an inspection
of the limitless variety offered to purchasers.
But while nature had done so much, the
wrong-headedness of man often brings fish
upon the table in an unsatisfactory conidtion.
It is the aim of this article to give a few
plain and simple directions for the prepara—
tion of fish- for family use, without entering
into a recital of elaborate recipes and.sauces.
For much of the information acknowledge-
ment should be make to Fish Commissioner
Eugene C. Blackford, who is an undoubted
authority on all piscicultural matters.
Fishermenthemselves harm their own in-
terests and the palates of their customers by
allowing fish to struggle their lives away by
gasping agony after they are caught. All
fish should be killed as soon as taken from
the water by making an incision in the back
of the neck with the small blade of a knife
and cutting the backbone. Many dealers
prefer to have live fish on their stands
because the_flapping attract attention. A
fish slowly dying, however, becomes feverish
and the flesh tends to ready disintegration,
becoming soft and flabby, and crumbling
readily when boiled. An excellent way of
killing lobsters ,which ' should not be' put
into the kettle alive, is to bleed them. This
is done by making an incision under the last
joint of the tail and hanging the lobster'up
by the head. About half a teaspoonful of
thick semi-transparent fiuid, slightly whit-
ish, drains off. Death by this method ren-
ders the flesh of the lobster harder and
sweeter. 3;; "T
Freshly caught fish are somewhat rigid,
while stale fish ‘are soft and flexible, with
colorless gills and fiimy, opaque eyes. Prop-
erly refrigerated fish may be kept from sum-
mer until spring in good condition, though
when the temperature is too low the freezing
and thawing destroy the character of the fish.
Fish should nevei‘ be placed in actual contact
with ice. -
The manner in which fish should be cook-
ed depends, generally speaking, upon the
' size. A large fish should be boiled or baked
a small one broiled or fried. In preparing
fish for cooking as little water as possible
should be used, and the fish carefully dried
with a cloth. '
According to Miss Corson, in boiling fish
those of large size should be placed in water
cold and well salted, while small fish may be
put directly into boiling water. Others
recommend that the water cold at first.
Half a teacupful of vinegar—in Europe claret
is used—corrects the muddy taste of some
fresh watcrfish without imparting any acid—
ity. Sliced lemon and a few cloves and
pepper-corns or a “bouquet" of herbs will
add to the flavor of boiled fish. This “bouv
quet” of herbs is composed of a little bay
leaf,a stalk of celery, a dozen cloves, and
dozen pepper corns tied in a bunch of pars-
ley. _ ‘
If the flesh of a fish to be baked is some»
what dry, an improvement will be effected
by cutting diagonal slashes along the side
and placing in cachlafislice of fat pork. There
should be no water in the baking pan, but
olive oil, fresh ibutter, or salt pork can be
used. The ordinary brown meat gravy
warmed will be foupd excellent with baked
fish. Brown sauce, often used with fish, is
made by putting in a thick saucepan for one
pint of sauce a tablespoonffiof buttér and
one of flour stirred over the re until brown,
then adding slowly one pint of water, stir—
ring all the time;that it may be smooth, and
seasoning with salt and pepper.
In broiling fish, the gridiron should be
battered and the flesh side placed next the
fire first and broiled to a light brown while
the skin side should be more thoroughly
cooked to a dark color. Mayra d’hotel
butter is an excellent addition to broiled
fish. This consist of one tablespoonful of
butter, one of parseley chopped fine, one
teaspoonful of lemon juice, one saltspoon of
salt, and one quarter of a saltspoon of pepper.
This is mixed cold and spread over the fish
on coming from the fire.
Fish can be fried to the best advantage in
good olive or sweet oil. When this becomes
so hot that a light blue vapor aifies drop the
fish in and fry to a light brown. If much
frying is done this oil can be used again and
again. Either fresh butter of beef drippings
rank next, though common sweet lard is
bv being dipped in the beaten yolk of an egg
and rolled in cracker crumbs before frying.
All fried fish should, as soon as cooked, be
laid upon brown paper, which will absorb
the grease.
'Inaddition to these usual methods, a fish
may be stewed. Miss Juliette Carson’s re-
cipe for fish ep maetlotte is as follows: Cut
up the fish into two inche pieces and put
them over the fire in cold water containing a
tablespoonful ,of salt, an onion stuck with
cloves, and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar.
Boil for fifteen minutes, then take Q the
fish, dry in a clean cloth, roll in flour, and
fry in a saucepan with two ounces of butter.
When brown add a bouquet of herbs and a
pint of boiling water. Season the malelotle
tablespoonful of pepper. Peel a pint of but—
ton onions, toss over the fire until brown,
with a teaspoonful of butter and of sugar, and
add to the malelotte to simmer one hour. If
the sauce evaporates, add enough boiling
water to make up the original quantity.
When the matelotle is done, add a glass of
wine and serve with croutons of fried bread.

Warden Hyatt read tliefollowing message:
Gentlemen of the Court of Burgcsscs .-
The Charter or By. Laws of the Borough
does not require that I should make any
report, or suggestions to «your honorable
body. Still it has been the custom for the
past few years for the presiding;_‘ollicer to
submit such suggestions as in his judgment
would be for the best'iiltercsts of the tax
payers of the Borough. As a majority of
you are not familiar with the debt of‘the
Borough, of what'it consists, from whence
it derives its revenue, and the expenses of the
different departments, I would 'call your
attention to the same, as it was on January
'1, 1881.
‘ BOROUGH DEBT.

Borough Orders, 8,100
Total debt $258,000
Showing a decrease in debt since
Jan.uary, 1880. $1,804.40
_ REVENUE.
The revenue the last year was derived
from the following: A tax of 9, mills on a
grand list of $2,295,083 raised $20,655.74
The Borough of the town portion
highwaymoney amounted to 1,550,00
$22,205.74
' ExPENsEs.
"I‘he expenses of the different departments
have during the year past, been as follows :
Highway Department, $1,645.28
Lamps and Gas “ 2,225.52
Fire “ - 1,375.18
Police “ 1,586.11
Sewer “ 160
Administrative " 1,748.50
Interest 11,350.05
You will observe from this statement, es-
pecially the amount of revenue, that it will
be necessary for the different departments
to practice the utmost economy, to enable
them to keep within the amount.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
This department will have to be carefully
watched, and tile committee that has been
selected I have no doubt will give it their
undivided attention.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
This department which expended last year
$1,645, will require considerable time and
attention. I would suggest that the com—
mittee engage a sufilcient force and have the
streets put in thorough repair in the shortest
‘possible time, each Spring and Fall. I com-
mit this important department to the very
able committee. .
LAMP AND GAS DEPARTMENT.
This department_which cost the BOrough
last year $2,225, should not be overlooked,
, and will also require the committees atten—
tion. I will suggest that the committee
consult with the officers of the Gas Company,
looking to arrangement that would be a sav—
ing in the department. A frequent inspection
of each, and all lamps will suggest the duty
of the committee. ,
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The expense of this department the past
year, has been $1,475, and is one, that re-
quires the attention of the committee. I am
informed by the Chief Engineer, that there
has been 8 alarms during the ear past, and
that the department is in good orking or—
der. The amount expended during the year
is quite large, and while I amf the opinion
a volunteer department such as we have,
should have the support of the Borough;
it should at the same time practice economy.
The committee having the department in
charge, should make frequent inspections and
make such changes and suggestions as will
be a saving to the tax payers of the Borough,
and a benefit to the members of the depart—
ment. ~ ' .
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
It will be for the interest of the committee
on the department to make themselves fa—
miliar with the duties connected therewith.
The police force at present consists of three
men. Two only of which are on duty
during the night, and one on duty Sunday’s
only. The population of the Borough‘ is
5,309, and the wealth of the same amounts
to some millions of dollars. It has been a
question in my mind, if the presentv'force is
sufficient. I have no suggestions to 'make,
but will leave the matter for your considera—
tion. .
sswsn DEPARTMENT.
This department is one that for years
past, has required but little attention, but the
time is not far distant, when it will be the
most important. The natural lay of the
Borough is such, that it far exceeds any in
the State, in the matter of drainage. It is
evident that. soon the Borough will be called
upon to‘act in this matter. In my judgment
it is a matter to be fully considered under
the present condition of the borough finances.
There is a very important matter to which
I will ask your attention, viz: the condition
of our river above the bridge, at seasons of
the year, when the river is very low, it will
be observed that the garbage and refuse from
the dwellings are deposited on the rocks,
that are prominent, and there left to decay,
greatly to the detriment of the health of the
Borough. I am of the opinion that a dam
of sufficient height placed across the river
near .the Bridge so. as to cause a suitable
depth of water to remain, would in a manner
prevent the many causes for the present
diseases of the day. I would suggest that
a committee if consistent be appointed as a
board of health with power to act in the
matter.
coxotnsroN. '
During the year there will be many
important questions that you will be called
to act upon, let each of you remember the
responsibility you have taken, and so deal
with all matters as will be for the best
interest of the taxpayers, whose agents we
are, have a careful watch on the money that
you are called upon to administer, and so
legislate that you may be able to render a
good account of your stewardship,
