How to Cook snuil<-
New York Mail ami Expres.

Snails are very nice when cooked
properly. The French people are very
fond of them. The best way | know OF
to prepare them is to let them soak in
salt water for about a couple of days,
so that all of the glue and slime about
them is removed. Then take them out
of their shells and clean them and re-
move the head. You then place them
in a red wine, claret, or Burgundy,
with some aromatic herbs to favor
them, and boil the whole. When they
have become cold take some shallots,
garlic, shedwell, cloves chopped fine
and mix the snails in with butter and
red wine. Then place the snail back in
its shell and put a little butter on it
and bake. After they are cooked serve
up with bread crumbs and melted but.
ter. They are very fine. You know
English people are fond of saltwater
snails, which they call periwinkles.
They simply boil these and eat with vim
& a and pepper. II

The London Atheneum states that
the story of Goldsmith's arrest by his
landlady and Johnson's sale of the
Vicar of Wakefield" are in danger. 1t
is impossible that this account received
from johnson himself should not be
substantially true; yet in his introduce
ton Mr.. Stocks new fac smile of the
first edition, Mr.. Austin Dobson shows
that it will have to be reconciled with
certain ~inconyenient facts. He holds
that the book as early as the 2sth OF
October, 1852, became the property Of
three persons, one Of whom whom was
Benjamin Collins, the Salisbury printer.
This ~exonerates Mrs. Fleming, Gold
smiths lslington landlady, from her
traditional reputation for asperity, as
Goldsmith, at that date, had not gone
to Islington; and it fixes some time an
terror to October, 1852, for the compost

They seem like friends, and all the

Every now and then the pillow or a
wash out discloses the remains of a
dead soldier-a leg or arm bone, or a
skull, or possibly a complete skeleton,
and they are gathered up and reinforced.
Savage had recently dug out two bodies.
A ditch had been cut by a wash-out and
left the skeleton feet protruding. That
they were Union soldiers was shown by
the buttons, belt plates, ETC., exhumed.
From a piece Of q thigh bone dug up,
some fellow had made a pair Of sleeve
buttons, which Savage was wearing.
They appeared to me to be rather

The works in front of Warren on the ex-

instances almost perfect. Those which
were captured can be distinguished by
the dirt being thrown up on both sides.

Economy OF Government Clerks.
Washington letter.

A well-known avenue book seller ex-
plains the situation in this wise:
"The feeling of uncertainty among
the clerks causes them to husband their
resources to the utmost extent. There
is scarcely a married man in govern
mental service who is not praoticing the
most rigid economy. With many of the
clerks it is a new experience. What
they commenced as a necessity is now a
pleasure. Many OF them have a few
hundred dollars ahead at the present
time who had never saved a penny be-
fore. The result Is that the shop keep
ers of Washington are passing through
a period of greater commercial depres-
sion than at any time within my re-
membrance. Icarrying to day a stock
of holiday goods smaller by $40, 0O0than
| did two years ago. The experience of
my neighbors, ! have reason to believe,
is Identical with my own"

General Jackson Describes tho III air-
breadth Escape OF General Averili.
New York SUM-
General William II. Jackson, Of Ten.
nessee, recently visited his Old-time
comrade and friend, General W. W.
Averill, of cavalry fame, and the two
were recounting "reminiscences Of ad-
ventures on the frontier. Thirty years
ago they were young lieutenants in a
regiment of mounted rifemen then
serving in Mexico.
Ayerill's regiment was resisting q
predatory band Of Kiowss. Lieuten-
ant Jackson was in the combat as Ave-
rill's guest. Averill was a good shot,
but was using q small Colts revolver,
and a Kiows chief with whom he be-
came engaged did not pay much atten-
ton to it, although twice wounded by
it, once in the side, and again in the
thigh. In cooking the pistol for the
third time the spring Of the lock broke,
and, as they were at close quarters,
Averill rushed upon the Indian and
tried to brain him with the weapon.
The chief seized the lieutenant, and q
wrestling match ensued without any
hippodroming. They became locked
together. The Indian, with his left
arm around Averill, held the Lieu
tenat's right wrist with vise.like grip
Of hig left hand, preventing the use OF
the pistol, while in turn the right hand
of the savage, with knife in its grasp,
was held off by Averill's left clutchng
his wrist. Round and round they
plunged and twisted and strained in the
life. land death struggle, the knife rapidly
approaching nearer and nearer to Ave-
rill's throat, W hen Jackson, who had been
looking for his friend, found him i'll this
deadly embrace. When he rode up,
Ayerill was wondering if that Indian
would ever tire out or pause for breath,
but be was as strong and active as
"youpg buffalo," which was his name.
Then be heard Jackson's voice sing out,
"Steady, Averill, I'm going to shoot y
But the Indian heard the voice also,
and took good care to keep Averills
body between him and the proposed
shooter. Finally, Jackson rode close
up to the pair, and placed the muzzle
Of his pistol directly against the In
dams right arm, fired, breaking thu
bent arm both above and below the ell
bow. The Indian coolly dropped to I
sitting position and exclaimed in Next
csn.Spsnish, "Shoot, curse you !"
| A cowardly Mexican, who had beer
hiding near by, brought a heavy revol
yer to Avsrill and begged him to xii
the Indian, but Averill replied, "No
he is . brave man, and would sooner
kill YOU"
