snibblinR Reaus.

Snibbling beans is at this season OF
the year an evening occupation for Ger
man housewives. They are the common
string beans, which can be bought by
the bag, about two bushels. They are
washed and strung. and then, with a
very sharp knife or special implement.
they are cut into very thin slices and
packed in layers in an earthen crock.
On each layer Of beans is spread layer
of salt, and when the crock is almost
full large plate covers the whole, and
is held down by weight, generally
brick. If brine does not collect suf-
fciently to cover the layers, little
water is added. and the beans are ready
for use in the winter. The salt that is
absorbed must be removed by soaking
the beans overnight, when they are
ready to be cooked. 1t Is not unusual
for housewives to have snibbling par
ties. at which their friends and relatives
assist in the slicing, refreshments being

In one of bis later campaigns, long after
his brother had been murdered and

the other by Doyle. watson started in
March, 1881, with 500 regulars and Tories
and marched from Fort Watson, on the
Santee, in the direction of Shows Island.
Marion had exact knowledge of Watson's
progress and by a swift march met him in
the swamps between the Santee and Black
rivers. A spirited fight took place, and
Watson's advance body of Tory cavalry
was driven back upon the infantry sup
ports. Marion then retired before Watson,
frequently laying an ambuscade for the
British, and at Black river made ready for
a decisive combat.
A bridge on Watson's route was thrown
down and body of rihemen was placed in
the low swampy border on the east bank.
Watson boldly opened with field pieces
from the high ground on the west bank.
But Marion's sharpshooters cut down the
British artillerists on sight and forlorn
hope party that tried to storm the passage
was driven back with the loss of its leader
and of all the men who rallied around him.
Watson declared that he "had never seen
such shooting in his life" Finally he gave
it up in despair and sent letter to Marion
imploring him to 90 back to regular meth
ods of warfare and fight in open field.
Marion took no notice of this, but pushed
his daring swamp fighters across the stream
up to the very outposts of the British camp,
drove them from place to place, and at last
got them into a corner where Watson was
glad to accept from his opponent permission
for the wounded to pass on to the main
British lines. Before the British escaped
they were compelled to fight for the road
way Watson's horse was killed under him
and he saved his head by narrow chance.
This was at Ssmpit bridge, on the road to
Georgetown, on the lower Pedee. The fail
ure of an ambuscading party to do the
work cut out by Marion alone saved Wat
son from destruction at that time.
