snails as an Article of Food.

Snails abound in Italy, Spain. Francs
and Belgium; they are also found ia
large quantities in Algeria, and most
other points along the shores of the
Mediterranean.
In Italy snails anciently were and arc
still much used for the table. They are
regularly sold in the markets OF Swift
zerland, Spain, France, Belgium and
Algeria, and are exported alive IN par
rels, TO the French Antilles, and oocar
sionally even to the United States, where
they are relished only by the real
cOnnOissettr.
In the vineyards of France, the pea
SAINTS collect, feed and fatten them till
winter, when the snails seal themselves
up in their shells, where they remain
torpid several months. In this state
they are purchased by the confectionery,
who prepare them in the shell, with but
ter and herbs, and forward them TO
Paris. They are then ready for table,
after Icing heated in an oven for few
minutes.
In Belgium the snails are fed on let
tuce under invei ed flower pots, foK
several weeks befo being sent to mar
ket. Their price varies from fifty cents
10 one dollar hundred.
In Pennsylvania the large wood snail
is a favorite dish. The animal is draw
out of its shell, we'll rubbed in clear
cloth, to take off the slime, cut smah,
mixed with savory stuffing, replaced in'
its shell, baked in the stove oven, and

country, instead of eggs and fowl, the
peasants pay their tribute IN snalis ana

A LOVERS MISTAKE.

John Lorrimer believed it q sad day
for himself when Mr.. Strathley came to
Ford to look after the mill, which had
lately fallen into the hands of Strathley
Il Stone, lumber merchants of the me-
tropolis, a hundred miles away. Why
had Mr.. Strathley chosen to immure
himself in that little country village,
whose society was naturally uncongenial
to a man of the world2 Why, if it were
not because he had seen Margaret on
his first visit to look after the purchase
of the mill, and had dined at her grand
fathers as if he were an old friend
John reasoned. Were not women as
fair in his own world whom he could
love and win, that he need go out of his
way to rob another man? Gould he
not have sent an agent to reside at Ford,
and attend to the firms business, in
that old-fashioned corner of the earth,
if money-making were the only attrac-
ton? What maglign fate had caused
him to gravitate to Ford, where no
stranger was ever known to stay mo-
ment longer than circumstances obliged
him With his fine manner and fine
clothes, with his palaver about all things
in heaven and earth; his handsome face
and figure, was 1T not hiding his light
under a bushel? What could he find in
Ford to interest him if it were not
Margaret?
1t was bitter season for Lorrimer,
who, having been sweet upon Margaret
ever since he was boy in jackets, felt
as if he had established claim upon her
affections, and was aggrieved to find her
amused by Strathley-walking with him
in season and out of season; sitting in
the farmhouse porch in confidential
converse, or singing from the same old
psalter on Sunday evenings. 1t was
surely enough to enrage any lover, and
especially one who felt so certain of his
case that he had delayed about riveting
the chains, and had taken everything
for granted before putting the question.
Lorrimer began to study his mirror
for the first time in his life; to become
enamored of fine clothes to suspect
himself of awkwardness and ignorance.
1t suddenly occurred to him that he
must have been blind ever to have be-
lieved that Margaret would care for
him, though he had thought that ac-
tions spoke louder than words though
he had taken her part at school, when
the others twitted her about her shabby
gowns and her wild brother Ben, who
had brought his grandfather's nose to the
grindstone-the country people said
and obliged him to mortgage the farm
and this same mill, which had been his
own years ago, in order to pay gambling
debts.
"And served him right" they grum'

A short time after the ship lilo quilted
Callao, Peru, the captain discovered two
stowaways on board and put them in
irons. During the following night a
Chilian, who had hung his hammock in
the quarter of the ship where the
prisoners were, accused one of them of
having stolen his food. The accused
explained that this was impossible, as
his chain prevented his reaching it,
whereupon the monster of a Chilian
struck him down, and deliberately pro-
ceeded to cut off his head and throw it
into the water. He then wished to des-
patch the trunk after it, but was prevent
cd by its being attached by an iron ring
fixed to the bridge by a chain. Where
upon he hacked away at it and cast it
pieeemeal into the sea The other
stowaway was meanwhile in such an
agony of terror that he did not cry out.
The assassin was placed in the hands Of
the authorities at Iquique.

Unnnmhered GrnYes.

Yonhillside with its shafts Of cleaning white,
Bathed in the glory OF the setting sun,
Holds many grave where, hidden from our
sight,
Some loved one sleeps, life's toll and labor
done.
But there are graves over whose slumbering
mould
No polished marble rears It's stately head,
And where no fragrant flowers above unfold
To waken pity for the quiet dead.
These are the graves deep down within our
hearts,
Where lie the hopes and dreams OF early
years,
Buried from sight, but signhlled by suoh marks
AS only can be made by blood and tears
Some early love that crowned us in our youth,
And made life glorious for a short sweet
hour
Some cherished promise, robbed Of strength
and truth,
Crushed in the morning Of its newborn
power.
Here is the spot where memory has engraved
The form and face of one we called friend
One for whose welfare we would cen have
braved
Censure and helrtache TO the bitter end.
But twas not wisely done and 80 we draw
Before the treachery of the smiling eyes
A heavy veil. The cold world il it saw,
Would profrcr pity in thousand lies.
So life goes on. We lay the forms away
OF things we loved not wisely but too well,
And in the lapse of years we learn TO stay
The fretful chanting OF their funeral knell.
We learn to smile, before the smiling throng,
Although the adder's tangs be deeply set
And join, perhaps, our voices in the song,
To soothe the pain we never can forget
And thus we learn to envy the calm rest
or those who sleep beneath the silent sod
Bound with lte's Calling chains, VIC know 'tib
best
To bend our heads and pass beneath the rod
And when we see some mourners heavy clad
In robes OF black, haggard, with tear.
dimmed eye,
We know their lives would be more bright anc
glad
4 Could they but reason-it Is life to die.
Mourn not the slumbering dead but rather
say,
Blest are the sleepers, Years may come and
go:
Heads that are brown and gold may turn to
gray;
But they are done with earth and tears and
woe.
Somewhere, We know, beyond the world OF
stars
They VIII at last have found sweet Lethe's
stream;
Where .lfe is love, and love one long true
dream.

A Lady's Strange Pets.

Most ladies choose a dog, a cat, q
canary or pony for pet, and often I" set
their lives upon them," but rarely does
one hear of a lady attaching herself to
such strange pets as the writer saw at
Mrs. Lincoln's, 81 Howard street, day
or two ago. Living in the family are O
couple of lions, 81 months old, brought
up by the hand OF Mrs. Lincoln. They
are African lions, species not easily
reared in this country, but Mrs. Lincoln
has succeeded, by the exercise of great
care, in rearing them to their present
age and size. The male weigh about $50
pounds and the female perhaps fifty
pounds less. They have been ut the
house on Howard street since last Sep
TENDER, and until within month have
had the "run of the place" going about
the rooms with considerable freedom.
AS measure of caution the police
thought the creatures should be re-
strained, and their quarters are now
more limited than formerly, although
they have safe outdoor run and a room
adjoining the kitchen, with only strong
wire door separating the apartments.
Mrs. Lincoln is as free with her pets as
ladies are with their poodles. She plays
with them feeds them from her hands,
and has taught them various tricks.
They will kiss her at her bidding, Jump
through hoop, etc. Before the police
restrictions were placed upon them the
animals were accustomed to walk into
the kitchen or parlor among guests, and
go back to their quarters without offer
ing harm to anyone. A year ago the
ioness used to occupy the same couch
with the lady at night, but now she has
grown full large to be taken upon q COM
mon bee stead. The animals are quite q
curiosity, and, in their gentleness, show
plainly how potent is the law of kind
ness, even with the brute creation.

Death of a millionaire Missr.

Cincinnati papers announce the death
of Jerry TulGs, a millionaire and re-
markable character of that city. He was
a son of noted horse teacher, and had
accumulated his immense property, con-
sisting of real estate in Chicago, Cincin-
natl, st. Louis, five farms in Illinois,
Missouri and Iowa, by the strictest par
simOny and close but honest business
dealings. He was very eccentric in his
habits, wearing only clothing bought at
secondhand, and continuing its use until
it was in rags; eating at cheap rest,iu-
rants, living in wretched, dirty little
room on an obscure alley or in a
miserable log hut on one Of his many
valuable farms, and rivaling in costume
and personal degradation the most dis
reputable tramp of the period. He
studied law years ago with Gen. Gary. of
greenback fame, mastering its intricacies
solely for his own use and self-protec-
ton in business, and never attempting
its practice save in his own affairs. SO
great was his parsimony that during q
portion of his sickness, which is sup
posed to have been the result of lack of
food and personal care, he refused to
consult a physician on account of the
expense. He was unmarried, and had
but few relatives or associates. His
property is variously estimated at from
81, 600, 900 to SO, 0O0, 900.

The Rest Came Tumbling After.

At Port Kent, the other day, one of
the children of Horatio Burroughs broke
through the ice. An older brother at
tempted the rescue, and he also broke
in. The cries of the children brought
the mother to the scene, and she also
was precipitated through the ice. An
aunt living in the family went to the as
sistance of the three struggling unfort-
unates, and, in attempting to assist the
mother in her pre6icament was pulled
into the water. The cries of the four
people brought the father to the scene,
and, In his excited state, he neglected
taking the proper precautions, and was
soon houndering in the water with the
rest. About this time further assistance
arrived, and, by means OF ropes and
planks, the entire family were rescued
from their perilous situation. -Burling-

A Sham Dual.

Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, and
Gen. Bradley johnson ought, in justice
to themselves and their progeny, take
the boys they have at the University of
Virginia, and extend them across the
paternsl knee. These youngsters have
been playing at the duello. The plot
was admirably arranged, beginning with
a quarrel while at game Of billiards.
Hot words followed, and Cockrell, &C
cording to programme, called johnson q
liar. The latter sprung furiously at
Cockrell, but, Notwithstanding his terri
BILE efforts to get at him, mutual friends
succeeded in keeping him back. Then
duel was agreed upon, johnson send
ing the challenge. Cockrell's seconds,
who were from Texas, demanded that
the principals should fight with knives,
to which Johnson's seconds assented,
and the meeting was arranged to take
place at a convenient and secluded spot
near Monticello. On tho following
morning, the parties, accompanied by a
medical student who carried instruments
and quantity of lint and bandages,
met, and their deadly knives were seen
by students, who secretly followed, to
fash in the sunlight. The latter at once
ran away, fearful of being made wit
nesses of terrible and bloody duel.
The news soon spread, but, after the
matter assumed serious character and
the youngsters were threatened with ar
rest, they acknowledged the whole thing
was hoax.
