BORIC CANNIBALISM IN ALOICRIA.
A fearful case of Cannibalisni hadjust
come to light in Algeria. • 01:;Ben • Nriebr
recently had a cow Btolon frolic his flidd,,and .
suspicion having fallen on an 47:rab name
Ben Aissa,search was made on his preraises
Nothing of the missing animal was f
er, found; but on looking into a buslhalittle
distance from the hem, a basket full of
pieces of, meta was 'discovered. The Wife
of Ben Aissa immediately litammered out
that they wore the ionmins of a donkey
which her lutsbanj bad killed - the preceding
night. But sho ItEntn long persist in this,
story, for on the pasha! being turned tapsy-'
tervy; a number of feet and hands tumbled
out! Three heads, which had been singed,
wore next discovered in the same spot! Tho
remains having been collected togother,they
were immediately recognit.ed by Ben Naeer
and-his companions as those of a woman
named Ben Youssef and her two children.—
The clothes of the victims were next found
hidden in the same bush Anal° further off.
Fatima Ben - Aissa,. being pressed to give
some explanation of the affairmade the fol-,
lowingvterrible confesSion "My children
and I had net eaten anything for several
days; when the twin brothers Mohammed
Ben Ali and Kadeur Ben Ali Came - to us to
propose that wo should kill and eat tivehil
dren of Fatima lion'Youssef, aged six and
eight Years.We agreed, and forthwith put
our project into execution in a ravine situat
ed a Short distance from where I lived. Tho
mother coming near the spot at the, moment,
when wo were strangling the ohjldron,wo de
cided to kill her also from fear of being de
nounced. The three MOrders consummated,
wo cut the bodies up. The twin brothers I
ilmve already named, took a part and left
us the remainder—the heads, feet' and
liana being comprised in our portion. Ati
sisted by my children, I forthwhith took the
part - allotted me home. I baited a part,
which, we ate, and put the rest aside in or.
der not to exhaust ail our provisions in ono
day. I also flayed the three heads and put
them where they have just been found."
All parties concerned in this horrible 'affair
have been arrested. As usual in such eases,
they each deny being the actual murflerer,
and endeavor to throw the blame on any
body's shoulders but their own.
TUE ANTIQUITY Or lAUNPOWDR.
There is a passage in Junius Cortina which
appears to indicate that Alexander the Great
did meet with firearms hi India that were
discharged by means of a composition com
posed of nitre and sulphur. In the Gontoo
Code we find a prohibition of the use of fire•
arms, or "arms shooting fire."
Gunpowder was certainly known in •China
as well as Bindoostan, far beyond ail periods
of investigation. The word firearms is liter
ally in the sanskrit, a weapon of fire. They
describe the first species.of it to have been
a kind of dart or arrow, tipped with fire, and
discharged upon the enemy from a bamboo.
Cannon, in the same language, i is palled
"the weapon that kills an hundred men." It
is certainly well ascertained that the inhabi
tants of India at a very early period knew
how to apply the saltpetre, and sulphur vi
vum„'with which their plains abound, to the
purpose of war, and formed out of them a
composition, which,if not actual gunpowder,
was of such a nature as to give bodies a pro
jectilemotion. In "The Sketches of the
Wedeln," Themistius is cited to prove that
many centuries before the European disco,.
ery of gunpowder, "the Indian Brahmins 6n.
countered one another with thunder and
lightning, launched from an eminence, and
AIM when attacked by their Onemies they did
not leave their walls to fight i hetn,but darted
upon them missile weapons, in noise and of
feet resembling lightning find thunder."—

NEW STEAM ENOINE.-A , steam engine
has been invented by Ileajamin ,Fraultlin j
of Westmoreland county, which floes away
with the cylinder principal altogether, and
also. with Piston, crank, steam-chest, oil
cans, &c. The principle of action on which
it depends is that of centrifugal ,foree l
whence its name the centrifugal hteum
gine. It is declared by competent practical
engineers superior in every way to nll other
engines, and therefore portends a complete
revolution in the ndaptation of steam to. 'all
the purposes of life, the . Mechanism being
much more - simple and economical, while
its economy of work is a marked considera-
tion.—Ex.
