How to Make Chicken Salad.
Fierre Blot says that this salad is
made with a chicken. When cold the
meat is detached from the bones and
cut in small dice ; then cut tablo celery
in the same shape, and nearly as much
of it as of chicken ; cut also in small
pieces a little of lettuce. Mix the three
well together ; add salt, pepper, vine
gar, snd a very little oil ; stir well, and
place on a dish of an oblong shape ;
give to the mixture the shape of a small
mound on the middle of the dish, not
quite as wide as the breadth of the dish,
and not quite as long either, and have
it as smooth as possible. Then take a
mayonnaise sauce, and by means of a
table knife, spread some of the sauce
over it in a thin layer, just enough to
cover the whole ealad. Whon the sauce
is over it, split a hard-boiled egg in two
lengthwise, then again the two halves
in two, and again each piece in two, the
white side of the piece ' being on the
table, and commencing to cut on the
yolk ; you have tnen eight pieces in
each egg ; cut each piece in two across
the middle, put the pieces around the
salad, the white part touching it, and
the middle part or cut end resting on
the dish, eacli piece of egg touching
nnother ; cut thus as many eggs as are
necessary to surround the salad. Then
cut another egg in two across the mid
dle, cut off a little piece from the
smaller end of each piece, and put
those two ends together; scallop the
whole egg all around with a sharp
knife ; take off part of the yolk from
the top half, so as to make a hollow
into it, and then put into that hollow
the centre leaves of a head of lettuce,
after which you put the . egg on the
middle of the salad. Add a fa
here and there on the leaves, also some
all around the salad, and ono on the
top of each piece of egg. Stone half a
dozen olives, and place them on the
salad also ; then cut red beets, boiled
and pickled, in fancy shapes, and put
them on also. Very thin slices of lemon
can be placed all around the borders of
tho dish, together with petals of roses.

The Narrow P. or ape of Prisoners Prom
SantiagoWhat hy Bay of ta
Capture Their Treatment bjr the
Spaniard.
Many of the circumstances of the
capture of the Virginius and the im
prisonment of those taken on board
which the prisoners brought by the
Juniata have related to the New York
Tribune reporters are of considerable
interest. Samuel Gray, a carpenter, of
Ilarrisbnrg, Penn., is one of the most
intelligent of the prisoners. He barely
escaped the fate of his more unfortu
nate friends. lie was sent to the
'chapel" twice, each time being told
that he was to bo shot, but was after
wards remanded to the place of im
prisonment, much tn his own surprise
and to the amazement of all the prison
ers, who had twice bidden him what
they supposed to be a last farewell.
At Santiago he was in the hospital for a
considerable tima before the departure
of the Juniata, when he was taken on
board. The treatment of himself and
tho other prisoners in the hospital
seems to havo been more considerate
than would be expected from people
who had shown themselves so bitter
and cruel.
They received proper medical attend
ance, good nursing, such nutriment as
their condition required, together with
comfortable quarters. It is doubtful if
the Spaniards themselves in the hos
pitals receive better attention. It is
said that Gray's real name is Gratz, but
during his connection with Cuban af
fairs he has uuiformly been known by
the former name, and is called Gray in
the list of prisoners. Mr. Gray him
self attributes his safetv to the pood
will of an Englishman who is an officer
in the Spanish army ; while it is thought
by certain persons familiar with all the
circumstances that his Masonio rela
tions served him at the last moment,
when every expedient had been itried.
Mr. Gray acknowledges that some
thincs were thrown overboard from the
Virginius during the chase by the Tor
nado, out claims to have no personal
knowledge of what kind of property or
what amount of it was disposed of in
that way.
Another instance of good fortune is
tho case of a fireman named King, who
is an Englishman by birth. He could
not speak a word of Spanish, and was
unable to give any account of himself
to the Spanish authorities. When the
37 who were shot together were taken
out for execution, Jung was also taken,
but when the names of the condemned
were called, his was not among them,
and he was returned to the boat over
come with delight at his narrow escape,
He had witnessed the terrible slaughter,
and had himself expected immediate
death, when the joyful word was given
that he should live. One of the cases
that had excited especial interest among
the officers of the Juniata, is that of
Edward Scott, an American boy 10
years of age. His home is in Salem. X.
J., and his father is superintendent of
the gas works in that place. Some
months ago young Scott, like many
country boys, became tired of the dull
life at home, and excited by the won
derful stories of the outside world, came
to Xew York without the knowledgeof
his parents. He was accompanied by
several young friends, and made up his
mind to go to sea.
The Atlas was about to sail from .New
York, and he was given a chance to go
as lamp-trimmer upon the vessel, which
was bound to (Josta Kica. Ihis oppor
tunity he gladly accepted. On board
he fell sick and was left at Jamaica, but
after a week or so recovered, aud went
on the Virginius at Kingston, without
knowing or thinking anything about
the character of the vessel. When
taken prisoner with the rest by the
Tornado, he was among the few who
were 2ilaced upon the small gunboats.
Of the five who wore with him upon one
of these vessels, three were taken to
make up the wretched thirty-seven who
were shot together. His was remaka
blo good fortune in escaping death,
since many of those who made up the.
doomed baud were taken indiscrimi
nately from the whole number. Some
of the officers of the Juniata being
pleased with his appearance and
Interested in his btory, took him
into the cabin on the passage from San
tiago, and he is now in goo l spirits and
rejoiced to return to his friends after
so severe an experience. The foregoing
is his story very much as he has given
it tD several of the officers of the Ju
ni ta.
Philip Metzler, a native of Charles
ton, S. C, and a cigar-maker by trade,
gives a somewhat confused account of
the boarding of tho Virginius by the
Tornado. lie was evidently much
frightened, as were many of the pas
sengers and crew, and the result proved
that they had good cause to be. Capt.
Fry handed the papers of the Yirgiuius
to the Spanish officer, who took them
with expressions of the utmost con
tempt, crushing them in his hand and
declaring that he cared nothing for the
papers since the vessel was in his pow
er which he had been searching after
for weeks. The American flag was im
mediately hauled down and all on board
ordered to tho other vessel. The state
ment of Mr. Metzler as well as others
of the passengers indicates that the
Virginius would have been able to es
cape from the Tornado but for her
wretched condition at the time, as Bhe
had a bad leak and eight feet of water
in her hold in the forward compart
ment. Ordinarily she could make 14
knots per hour, and at that rate could
have left the Tornado out of sight in a
short time. It is also said that when
the Tornado finally overhauled the Vir
ginius, after full eight hours' chase,
flames were rolling up from the smoke
stack of the former, and had nearly
burnt it out. The vessel could hardly
have borne a much longer chase under
such a strain.
The statements of nearly all the pris-
oners agree in disowning any knowledge
of the purposes of the officers of the
Virginius. They profess to have em
barked as passengers, to have seen no
arms on board, and to have seen little
or nothing thrown, overboard. Those
on the Juniata certainly do not present
a very warlike appearance, many of
them being very young and diminutive
in size, and without any very intelligent
estimate oi the undertaking which they
entered upon. The fact that the Vir
ginius was advertised to go into Port
Limones and then sailed around among
the islands of the West Indies, seem
ingly without any exact destination,
appears not to have excited, any curi
osity among them as to her object, but
on the contrary their statements ex
hibit an utter indifference to the course
of the ship, or tho intention of the offi-
oers. One point. howeer, is clear,
namely, that the vessel put in or was
about to put in at Port-au-Prince for
repairs, when Captain ry changed his
mind, and turned her to tha westward
and back to Jamaica,

Catching Salmon with a Hook.
California, during the month of Oc
tober and November, affords the fiaest
salmon fishing in the world. . Our
meihod of fishing, says a correspon
dent, is to take a skiff, with a man to
row, and with rod in hand and a hnn
dred yards of line out, troll with the
feather-spinner. ion don t go far be
fore there is a break, a flush, and your
ted makes a salaam, while your reel
spins and your line hisses ; and when
?ou bear a little, tip goes your fish six
eet into the air, showing his silver
sides; and himself vigprovsly engaged
in shaking his jaws to shake the hook
loose. If that don't do, he takes a good
long run from you, and then, before
yon are fairly aware of his tactios, turns
and runs straight for you. Then comes
lively work, for if ho ever gets a slack
line on you, ten to one you lose him.
If he comes too fast for yon. and you
can't feel in fast enough to keep your
lino taut, your boatman must fiull like
a good fellow to keep avyy from your
fish. Tho next trick is for tho gentle
man to loll over and over to twist off
your wire snc.ll, and he either does it,
or securely binds nimseir, by the turns
in tho line, around his head or body.
If his head, it seals his gills, and ho
soon gives up ; but havo a care how
you attempt to land him in your boat,
for ho plays 'possum, and I have had
them make a dash as 1 lifted them from
tho water, and go off with 300 feet of
lino, and give mo lots of trouble after.
A landing-net a good strong one is
essential, for you have to lift, occa
sionally, a twenty-five pounder. The
general averago of our "catch" is
about fifteen pounds. You have about
three miles of river to fish in, and it is
poor fishing indeed if you don't hook
from two to six in the pull up, and the
same down. There is no other current
in the rivers than the ebb and flow of
the water backed up by the tide which
runs in at tho month, through a narrow
channel about ten yards wide, and at
the flood the salmon come in by
hundreds. In fact, they run in and out
constantly ; some go up tho river to
the deepest holes and remain. We al
ways know about the length of time
they have been in by the color.
When first in from sea, they are a
bright silver color ; in a few days they
begin to turn darker, and finally take
the deep salmon-huo, or red. Some we
caught were a bright crimson, fins and
all, and were very beautiful, lint the
fastidious gentlemen who work on saw
logs there turn up their noses at these.
and won't eat them. I hooked such a
fish, tho most beautiful in color, and a
big one. As 1 brought him alongside,
and told Sam, mv boatmon, to stand by
with the net, that worthy individual sat
unmoved, intensely interested in get
ting his short pipe into action, and was
pulling at it and ramming down the to
bacco with the end of his little finger,
entirely absorbed in that operation.
while my fish was trying my light tackle
severely. Said I, " Sam, do you hear
me ? The net 1 the net ! quick ! By
this time the pipe had concluded to
draw, and Sam looked over the side of
the boat complacently, but as he caught
sight of the hsh he laid down the net,
and taking his pipe from his mouth.
looked at me with an expression where
contempt and compassion battled for
supremacy, and, jerking his head in the
direction of my floundering fish, re
marked, " You ain't a goin' to hist in
that eld lobster, are you ( ' Said I,
Sam, men have died for less. That

and contemptuously raised my fish and
dumped him into the boat as he would
a bushel of clams, and proceeded to set
tle him with a whack on the head with
billet of wood, exclaiming, " Whoa
you there ! whoa, Jannary !" That fish
weighed twenty-three pounds. I brought
him home and gave him to an epicn
rean friend, who had him for dinner.
and told me confidentially ho never ate
such a deliciously-navored salmon m
his life ; and that unappreciative cuss.
Sam, would have had me dump the fish
back into his native eiement as worth
less. Allowances must be made for
Sam ; he had been accustomed to mak
ing his selection out of a pile of a hun
dred, at the extravagant epicurean out
lay of fifteen cents apiece for anything
up to fifteen pounds. Think of that, ye
Sybarites, who are happy when you can
get salmon at si per pound.
A Terrible Struggle.
A few weeks ago a Swede by the
name of lorguerson, who resides in
Swift county, Minn., was proceeding to
a neighbor's, some three miles distant
from his own home, carrying a bhovel
on his shoulder, which he was return
ing to his neighbor, from whom he had
borrowed it. He had accomplished
about half his journey, and was passing
turongii a small grove, whon ho heard
a crashing in the underbrush, and
turning round, saw a stalwart deer, of
tue buck persuasion, making for him
with every demonstration of hostile in
tentions.
There was but one course to pursue.
and that was to hght for his life, and
being a powerful man, he anticipated
on easv conotiest. Mistaken man I Tim
deer charged him with antlers lowered
even as an enraged bull would lower his
head when dashing at his foes. Tor-
gilerson grasped his shovel aud stood
stoutly on the defensive. As the en
raged buck neared him ho aimed a des
perate blow with his shovel full at his
head.
It struck one of his antlers with such
force as to break it, but the concussion
was so strong that it forced the "man
backward several feet, and hurled him
breathless against a tree. Just how the
fight went after that he does not re
member, but he knows. that he fought
with all the strength of desperation
and at last the deer and himself both
fell to the ground, and he lost all con
sciousness for a time.
When he came " round to his soul
again, tho deer was lying stark dead
near by him, and he could barely crawl
away. His clothes were in rags, his left
cheek torn open, a gash on the right
side, where the deer had inserted one
of the prongs of his antlers, and three
lingers of his left hand jammed up. ine
shovel was a total wreck, and the carcass
of the deer was pretty well haeke
around the head and shoulders.
The blow that caused the animal
death was inflicted by a sharp corner of
mo snovei remaining on the handle
after most of tho blade had been broken
off. The wounded man succeeded in
crawling back to his house, which he
reached in a terribly exhausted condi
tion. It is thought that he will survive
his wounds.
No man can justly censure or con
demn another, because indeed no man
truly knows another. This I perceive
in myself ; for I am in the dark to all
the world, and my nearest friends be
hold me but in a cloud ; those that
know me superficially think less of me
than I do myself ; my near acquain
tances think more, and God, who knows
me truly, knows that I am notbing.--Sir
Thnrnas Brown.
Co-operation In Fall River.
An officer of a co-operative associa
tion at Fall River, Mass., has reoently
furnished the following statement con
cerning its history : " Early in Febru
ary, 18C7, a few working men hold a
meeting in a private house in Fall
River, and took the preliminary steps
to form a co-operative association. By '
the 20th of the same month thirty-five
members had enrolled their names, and
tho paid-up shares amounted to (2,124.
A small store was rented in Pleasant
street, and for a few weeks the officors
went to the store after doing their day's
work and amused themselves by carry
ing out ordors on a wheelbarrow, but
afterward bought a horse and wagon.
At the close of that year the association
was reorganized on a better basis, with
a capital of $3,000, and the number of
members had increased to sixty-five.
Earlv in tho spring of 1808 a large store
on Bedford street was purchased for
$5,000, and at the end of that year the
membership had incroased to 129 and
the capital to $7,000. The membership
has steadily increased, until now it
numbers over 200. Each member pays
an admission fee of $1, and each snare
$10. Every member must own at
least ono share before he can vote or
hold office in the association, and no
member is allowed to own over thirty
shares. Last April the storo on Bodford
street, which five years ago was bought
for $r,U0U, was sold for $io,uuu, and tne
$10,000 profit has been constituted a
consolidated fund. The assoeiation
has erected this year, on Bedford street,
a largo block, 70 by 40 feet, containing
three stores and ten tenements. The
association run a grocery store, a
butcher's shop, and a boot and shoe
store. From Dec. 21, 18G7, to Sept. 21,
1873. the sales amounted to $327,089.92,
the investments $39,272.05, and the
withdrawals $24,755.99. Tho members'
dividends wero $27,772.34, and tho non
members' $3,744.59. making the total
profits $31,510.93. For tho quarter
ending Sept. 21. the dividends on pur-
cboaes were twelve cents on a dollar for
members, ond eight cents for non
members, with ten per cent, per annum
on shares.
A Lady's Opinion of a Sleeping Car.
And here, while the dusky hand of
our ever-attentive " amendment pie-
pared our couch for the night-watches,
et me sny one word about sleeping-
cars, i know they are elegant in every
detail that everything is done to in
sure the comfort of travelers, so that
they may sleep as comfortably and rest
as securely as e'en they might in
'home, sweet home;" but how about
the dressing conveniences ? A woman's
toilet, to be satisfactorily performed,
demands some other position than
prono upon the face. Likewise, it is
somewhat more agreeable to perform
portions of the toilet unobserved by
the multitude. Men either are not
burdened with modesty, or they have
minds that soar so far above the femi
nine that they give no thought to the
embarrassment attendant upon the
method and manner of disposing one's
self in those close quarters. A woman
carefully extinguishes herself behind
the curtains, slyly unlooses a lacs, eu
vclops herself decorously in a large
water-proof, not daring to lay aside her
chignou for fear of a surprise, and to
stow herself away uncomfortable and
depressed. The stranger in the bunk
avove leisurely divests himself of his
outer garments, pulls off boots, loosens
suspenders, and bounds into bed with
graceful ease, rather enjoying the situa
tion ! 1 think if there could be a lady's
car for sleeping and toilet, exclusive of
gentlemen, it would bo a great advance
ment in wayfaring civilization. I
thought so this morning, especially
when 1 awoke from uneasy slumbers to
find the foot-beard fallen, and a group
of serene-browed men gazing smilingly
upon my sleeping beauty. Jiet us have
separate cars, good people, and we can
ask nothing more of yon in the way of
luxury and restful ease.
A Suicidal Family,
John Ilarper, of Gilpin county, Col
orado, owned a largo ranch, on which is
a rich gold mine, near Central. He
had been badly embarrassed in his
finances, but the proceeds of the ranch
and mine had brought him through the
trouble, and he was out of debt. This
was about a year ago. He then com
mitted suicide, and left a large family
well off. John Harper never told what
made him do it. Apparently when life
was nist beginning to be easy and
pleasant, ho cut off the last end of it
and threw it away. Ono of his daugh
ters is Mrs. David Boomert, at Long-
mont. Miss Mattie Ilarper, another,
lived with her married sister. She was
young lady. Tliere were several
younger children. Jlatlio locked her
self up in her room one day, and would

Boomert ran to a neighbor's and said :

herself. The sad end ol her father
was uppermost in the woman's mind,
The neighbors came and looked into
Mattie a room through a window, and
saw her standing in one corner with her
face to tho wall. The door was broken
open and Mattie was found hanging by
a white woolen comfort to a clothes
hook in the wall. She was quite dead.

reason for her sudden departure from

The United States steamer Juniata
has arrived with one hundred and two
rescned prisoners the survivors of
those taken on the steamer Virginius. .
Some new light is cast upon the cap
ture and the immediately related events
by the men now brought hither. By
their story the history of tho massacre
is somewhat redeemed from the confu
sion into which it was thrown by the
several contradictory statements of the
numbers of persons killed on the vari
ous days of the executions. It appears
that in all fifty-three persons were shot
four at first, on November 4 ; thirty
seven on November 7 and twelve on
November 8 and that the executions
wore only stopped by the arrival at
Snutiago of the British man-of-war
JNiobo. There is a further report that
the thirty-seven .who were killed on the
7th were at first to have been shot on
the 8th, but that a change was made in
the day in consequence of its becoming
known that the British man-of-war
would-arrive on the 8th.
The great struggle between capital
and labor in England has developed a
most extraordinary organization among
the capitalists nothing less tuan. a
trade union of masters who employ over
,000,000 laborers to resist tha encroach
ments of tho employed.

daily asked, " What is tho cause of the

a perfect Kenovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in ;i

FEW YORK, 1873-1. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY.
THE WEEKLY BUN la too widely known to require any extended recommenda.
Von; but the reasons which have already given it fifty thousand subscribers, and
"Which will, we hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly as follows:
It Is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, con
densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always presented in
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of entertaining and instructive read ing of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is a first-rate story paper. The best tales and romances of current literaturs
are carefully selected and legibly printed in its pages.
It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresh and instructive articles on
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no col
lar. It fights for principle, and for the election of the best men to office. It el-
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten to undermine republican. institutions
altogether. It has no fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their supporters. -
It reports the fashions for the ladies, and the markets for the men, especially the
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention. 1
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will seenre it for
any subscriber. It is not necessary to get upa club in order tohave THE WEEKLY
SUN at this rate. Any one who sends a slnghs dollar will get the paper for a year.
