An Incident OF the War.

There's no more earnest Democrat In
New York than Gen. Ayerill, the dashing
t>Oper who raided up the valley with
Sheridan and endeared himself 10 two
generations Of Virginians by the home
steads he saved from the torch. As he
swings down Broadway TO his office on a
frosty morning, he Is soldier every inch
OF him, barring gray hairs. Gen. Ayerill
was introduced 10 young man named
Rudd day or two ago, aud il reminded
him OF a curious incident in his military
career. He was at West Point with
Jack Rudd, who afterward became
major In the Confederate army. On raid
into West Virginia some cavalrymen were
about to pillage farm which proved TO
he no other than Jack Rudd's. IL was
tight little patch Of arabic land right
under the mountains. As soon as Ayerill
heard the name of his old classmate he
set a guard over the place, and not straw
was touched.
That was in August, '63. Just a year
afterward, at a noted mountain pass called
Callahan's, Just twelve miles from the
White Sulphur springs, Confederate
prisoner was brought into Gen. Averill's
headquarters, which We're in the ambu-
lance, where he slept and read dispatches.
Captor and captive looked long and hard
at each other, and knew each other once
more as "Rudd" and "Averill" And,
afterward, when a friendly nip had thawed
out twelve years of absence and Averill
had told Rudd how he saved his farm
from being pillaged, Rudd exclaimed:

of shooting you deadl was in ambush
on the mountain side, and drew a bead on

his kindly intentions though, and am now
doubly thankful for what we both es-
capped. New York Sun.

Stewed Devil Fish for Tea.

'%Little you know of European delights" said a bon vivant, Eff you have never tasted the flesh of shark or reveled in devil fish stew. All fish are edible, but some are, by popular prejudice, adjudged to be unfit for the table. Who would ever dream of eating toad fisha The appearance of the creature, with its hideous head and brown spotted sides, is sufficient to take away any mans appetite; yet the fish is tender and palatable. When fried it tastes very much like founder. Shark are also excellent eating. They are plentiful in these waters, and if people could be made to believe that their flesh is whole some and agreeable to the palate an excel lent fish would be sold in the market at a remarkably low price.
 ''Shark flesh is firm and in taste hardly distinguishable from reddish. A delicious soup can be made from the fins The meat is best when boiled or fried in oil The devil fish, or giant squid, sometimes seen on this coast, is the same creature of which Victor Hugo wrote in his novel, The Toilers of the Sea- It is known to scientists as the octopus. In appearance it is a horrible mon ster, with huge head and body furnished with snake like feelers, which sometimes grow to be thirty feet in length, and are as powerful ill their grasp as the grip of a Sixth ward politician on election 'boodle.'"
 Aou uo to1 Aleeiii Oo UGH Aie, queiieo she reporter, ''that the flesh of such a creature is edible2"
 ''It is simply delicious when properly pre- pared. It should be cut into small pieces and stewed with herbs. It becomes then jelly like substance of delicate flavor that melts in the mouth. I regard the flesh of devil fish as delicacy. There is another species of devil fish which resembles a skate or ray fish. The largest of them weigh from 100 to 15O pounds. It is excellent eating. ."-Galves-
