. e9s Throughout Sicily It IS the
custom TO eat Strawberries along

a small kind, come to table With

white pounded sugar, and the
juice of an orange is squeezed over
them. The result is q most fra.

DrOU Scene at u Negro Cannu
Prayer Meeting.

One of he droll scenes of the war.
and one, on the whole, which was rath-
er Jolly in the monotonies of camp life,
was the meetings-half dance, half pray
er meeting-of the negroes. One of
these little gatherings has been deftly
skctched by Col. .Iigginson, down at
beaufort, / December, 1862:
hs evening, after working themselves
up to the highest pitch, party suddenly
rushed OF, got barrel, and mounted
some man upon it, who said, ssGib anod-
er song, boys, and fsc gib you a speech ~
After some hesitation, and sundrv
shouts OF Rise de sing, somebody"
and Stan up for Jesus, brudder ~ ir-
rcvcrently put in by the juveniles, they
soon got upon the John Brown song, al
ways tavorite, adding jubilan. verse
which l had never heard before: "We'l
beat Beauregard on dc clare battlefield" !"
Ihen came the promised speech and
then seven other speeches, by as many
men, on variety of barrels The most
eloquent, perhaps, was my Corporal
Lambkin, just arrived from Fernandina,
who evidently had a previous reputation
among them. His historical references
were very intesting. lie reminded them
that he had predicted this war ever since
FrcI Onts time, TO which some of the
crowd asscntcd; he then gave Il very in
tcIll%ent account of that Presidential cam
palngn and then described most I'M
preSSIvcly the secret anxiety of the slaves
III Florida 10 know all about President
Llncoln's election, and told how they all
to work from the -ith of March,
expecting their freedom to date from that
day. He finally brought out one of the
very few really impressive appeals for the
American flag that | have ever heard:
''Our mas'rs dey hab lib under de
iiag, dey got dcrc wealth under it, and
eheryting beautiful to- dere chilen.
Under 1t dey hab grind us up, and put
