and granite monuments that adorn the lust earthly resting places of
private cltlsena, the grave of Capt. Samuel Chester Reld Is
situated In the little plot a t the Intersection of Cypress avenue
and Zephyr path. Capt. Reid's achievements during the war of lSli
are among the most noteworthy In that
memorable strife. It was a s commander of the good old
American privateer brig Gen. Anas* ong that Capt Reld fought one
of the g n a t -eat naval battles that history recalls. The
engagement took place In Fayal Roads, Aaores Islands. The Armstrong
had anchored in a neutral port when, on Sent. 38, ISH. she w a s
attached by a British squadron consisting of three vessels—the
flagship Plantagenet. of seventy-four guns ; the frigate i iota, of
tarty-four guns , and the brig Carnation, of eighteen guns. T h e
British numbered over two thousand men, and this, with the total of
136 guns, seemed an over-whelming force against the seven guns and
ninety men of the Armstrong.
NothwIthsi&Edlng the protest of the Governor at the Port,
who demanded of the British commander. Capt. LJoyd. that he respect
neutral territory, the British opened hostilities by tiring a
broadside from the Carnation on the morning of the 26th. The olucky
Amer-ican stood h is ground firmly with his handful of men, and
after a series of encounters, lasting over two days, he completely
defeated t h e enemy. Capt. Lloyd, of the squadron, however, was
determined to capture the American pri-vateer.
It was because he realised that he gould not forever hold out
against the superior forces of the British that Capt.

PALMY DAYS OP CORLEARS HOOK. • i ' fa
A Section of the Eas t Side, Famous in War and Crime, About
to Be Turned Into a Public Park.
A BREATHING-SPOT IN A NEST OF HOVELS
The purchase by the city government of that portion of New York
known as Corlears Hook f >r the purpose of con-verting It into a
public park will be a veritable boon to the cooped-up Inhab-itants
of the east side, but it will also do a w a y with some well-known
land-marks. Corlears Hook la a landmark In Itself, and possesses
some traditions which are part of New York's history. It Is located
on the east side along the river front, south of Grand street
ferry.
Going back to the time when New York was a primitive Island, we
find that Corlears Hook was the site of the Indian village and was
known as Naig-la-nae. which means literally sand land*. Later, when
the Dutch took possession. Jacobus Van Curler established a
plan-tation there and the point of land was named after htm. Up to
that time It had been the termination of an Im-

HOW TBE.Y ABE SERVED IN MARYLAND.
The ancients used to examine chicken livers In order to divine
the course of events, but they did not eat them as a rule. Moderns
however, often think them a divine thing to eat, as one of the
courses of a dinner. But the liver must be prepared In the Ant
place with great care. It consists of two parts, the right, or main
liver, being larger than the left. Between them, closer to the
left, is a small globe of green fluid which the French call viel,
and in cutting the livers It is necessary to slice off quite a
portion of the left so that none of this fluid may strike through,
for it Is, In the langunge of a oelebir.ted cpok, "a perdition of
bitterness to everything It touches." If ever In eating your
chicken liver repels rather than attracts you, you may be sure that
It has not been properly cut, no matter how weU it may have been
cooked.
