Odd Industries,

One of the myriad singular industries
pursued by the ingenious Parisians is
that OF fattening snalls for the market.
That the demand for this article OF diet
is large, is proved by the fact that q
great number of persons find employ
ment in furnishing an adequate supply.
Most snail breeders, who carry on their
business outside Of the "barriers" Of
Paris, fatten the molusks in tanks, but
some prefer to keep the creatures in the
open air. The preserve in which snails
are fed is divided into eight or ten sepa-
rate enclosures, each of which is sur
rounded by line of sawdust four inches
broad, and freshly laid each morning.
This simple hedge is an effectual barrier
to the passage OF any Helix tempted to
indulge vagabond propensities and
stray beyond the boundaries Of its al
lotted precincts.
Each daily consignment of snails is
deposited in one of the parks, or enclos-
ures, and lett to fast for forty-eight
hours. After this they are removed to
another park, where they are provided
with an abundance of food, consisting OF
cabbage, lettuce, endives, thyme and
vine leaves. Purified by their long fast,
the snails eat with voracity, and in eight
or ten days are tat enough to satisfy the
l l.
| tax upon fatted snails is small, but 1t is
estimated that were the levy to be raised
to one-quarter of that set upon oysters,
and fifty snails to be counted as one
dozen blvalves, the revenue annually
arising from their consumption in Paris
| would amount to 100000 francs.
| 1t is stated that a. diet OF snails re-
duces a mans flesh until he becomes
mere skeleton. The edible snails OF the
| Gold Coast has a shell three inches Ions
by two inches deep. From this he pro
trudes q pair OF tentacles which are thu
choice part of the animal, and are served
whole in that "savory compound callet
snail soup.

LONDON, May 1.-THE verdict of the
coroner and jury over the victims Of the
Schiller disaster was found drowned
not accidentally Drowned" as reported.
The Times in a leading editorial says:
We believe the Gear is resolved to hold
most decided language in favor of the
maintenance of peace and to use every
effort to put a stop to the present alarm.
A few days will probably bring forth an
official disclaimer of recent reports. II
is possible it will be said that there is
Dothirg to justify French spprehensions.
But there should be no mistake on this
point. As long as the present condi'
tions remain there must be uneasiness,
ever danger. An unforeseen incident,
an outburst OF Jealousy, may precipitate
a rupture. The Gear is unable to guar
antee that France will not attack Ger.
many in a few years. Gigantic arma-
ments are a mutual menace, and while
they exist tits beyondthe power of even
the Imperial peace makers to allay ap-
prehensions.

MONDAY, the 10th of May, was the
centennial of the Ethan Allen affair at
Ticonderoga, where he demanded the
surrender Of the fort "In the nam OF
the great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress" and it was surrendered. The
people of Tconderoga celebrated the
event in a becoming and patriotic spirit.
This is an era of centennials, and the
pc ople all over the country are moved,
as it were, by a common impulse to COM
m emorate the stirring incidents and do
honor to the memory of the heroes of
the Revolution. Ethan Allen was an un-
lettered man, but bold, fearless and a
safe leader Of the Green Mountain
Boys" of Vermont, who played a con
spicuous part in the drama of the Revo-
luton. Allen crossed Lake Champlain
on the morning of May 10, l775, with
eightyihree men, scaled the nights and
captured the fort, with its valuable stores
Of ammunition, without the loss of a
man. Only n red-coat was killed.

In the collection Of poll-taxes from

The strikera.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, May ll.-About
thirty men went to work in Hutchinson
mine this morning. They marched from
their houses in a body and were armed
with rifles and r~evolvers. A crowd Of
men, women and boys followed them
with threats and imprecations and we're
only deferred from violence by the wea-
pons Of the workmen. The women we're
particularly bitter with i%nvectives and,
at one point in the march, nearly pre-.
cipitated a conflict. Threats were made
by the crowd to mob the men when they
came out Of the mine. Through fear Of
this the authorities we're called upon this
morning by Hutchinson for protection,
and a posse is now being raised to go to
Kingston this afternoon.
