Marquesas Maa-eatrs
'IV the people of Marquesas, really
practice man-eatUg at the present day"
was asked of some late visitors to that lo
cality. "Oh, yes," the reply, 4-it is
still very common amongst them. We
even saw remains of one of their "horrible
banquets in the valley of Ilanalapa. I
think the custom was falling into disuse a
half century aeo, but during the past
twenty-five or thirty years the frequent
visits of whalers cad traders upon the islands
have bad a demoralizing effect upon the
natives. The women have been debauched
and the men let into the secret of distilling
a kind of rum from the cocoa trees. When
intoxicated they cemmit the most revolting
barbarities, and become embroiled in con
flicts between themselves. While in this
condition they become worse than beasts;
the hereditary man-eating instinct seems to
be revived, and breaks out stronger than
ever. Any of their numler who are killed
in these drunken bioils are sure to be
eaten. They also eat the Ixxlies of their
enemies killed in battle, and, if a man has
a deadly spite against another, he docs not
leel that his revenge has leen satislied un
til he has eaten a piece of his heart, stewed
in its own blood. Infractions of any of the
social laws are punishable with death, and
the body of the culprit, after having been
cut into sections, is distributed in the mar
ket place, that all may eat and be warned
of the terrible punishment that awaits the
law-breaker. In fact," continued Captain
Blcnaime, "the worst punishment that can
befall a man at Marquesas is to lie killed
and eaten by his fellow islanders." Santa
Dominica is situated in latitude 9 (leg. 30
min. south, and longitude 138 dvg. and 40
ruin, cast, and together with the other is
lands of the Marquesas group has nominal
ly been under r rench dominion since 1541.
The natives are brave, and when thev have
reason to believe their rights are being
tampered with are very vindictive. A
number of sailors and otlioers of whaling
and merchant ships have been killed bv
them at different times since the islands
were discovered. A year ago a convoy of
provisions, white en route between two set
tlements of the r rench colony, on the is
land of Caledonia, was captured, and the
men who were accompanying it, twelve in
number, were taken prisoners. Fearing
for their fate, the Lamothe Piquet, being
in the neighborhood, was dispatched along
the coast to obtain tidings of them. 1 hey
effected a landing at the point where the
train had been captured, and surprised the
savages while about to feast ujxmi the
bodies of the Frenchmen. The would-be
banqueters fled at their approach, but were
pursued and fifteen of them killed. The
scene upon the beach, Captain ISlenaime
says, where they landed was sickening in
the extreme. Several large blocks, simi
lar to those used by butchers, were stand
ing a short distance back from the shore.
These were recking with blood, and near
them were massed the trunksof their coun
trymen, denuded of their heads and limbs,
and their bowels torn open to gei at the
heart, which is esteemed a delicacy.
Piled up near by were the skulls, and bones
of the arms and leys, scraped clean of the
Utah. The flesh from the lims was cut in
to streaks or roasts, and broiling and siz
rJing over the coals of huge fires kindled
for the purpose, sending forth a smell that
was fairly sickening. The flesh of the
head, together with the brains, they had
placed in a large kettle taken from the
stove in the train, which was boiling over
the tire. The provisions, wines, etc., were
scattered about in the greatest confusion.
One of the men who accompanied the
French crew recognized among the bodies
by portions of the clothing still left upon
them, two of his own sons, and sucn was
the impression made upon his mind that
he never f uliy recovered from the shock.
A Hurled Race in Khum.
It is well-known that the wrought stone
implements found in the ancieut river
gravels of California prove conclusively
that during or before the glacial period
the PaciSc coast was inhabited by man.
In a rciiort on recent archieolozical explo
rations in Kansas, Judge E. 1. West, of
that State, presents a large amount of evi
dence to show that at an equally remote
period th it region was peopled by a race
compared with which the mound-builders
must be accounted modern. The geology
of the region is simple. Prior to the drift
epoch the river channels were deeper than
now, ami the river valleys were lower.
Sulisequently the valleys were filled by a
lacustrian deposit of considerable depth.
In or beneath this last deposit the remains
of an extinct race occur. Such remains
have been found at various depths in seven
different counties along or near the Kansas
Pacific Itailroad, namely: Douglass, Pot
tawatomie, Riley, Dickiuson, Marion, Ells
worth and Lincoln counties. With one ex
ception the remains have all been fu:id on
the second bottom or terrace of streams,
and consist of stone implements, pottery,
human bones and bone implements. In
most cases they were struck in diggine
wells at a depth of from twenty to thirty
feet below the surface. In view of the
fact that there is not more than one well
to the square mile in the counties named,
and the area of a well forms but a small
fraction to a square mile, Judge West thinks
the evidence already obtained not only suf
ficient to prove the former existence of the
buried race, but to prove that they were
very numerous. We can hardly assume
that chance has directed the digging of
wells only where human remains are buried.
Whether'thc race existed Ix-fore the glacial
period or immediately after it is too early to
determine. Judge West isinclined tofix their
time of occupancy as after the glaei;d epoch
and prior to the deposition of the Loess.
In calling upon the local newspapers of
Kansas to lay the facts before the people
and urging the propriety of saving such re
mains when found, and uoting carefully
the conditions under which they occur, the
Judge says : "Here we have a buried rice
enwrapped in a profound and startling mys
tery i race whose appearance and exit in
the world's drama precede stupendous geo
logical changes marking our continent, and
whieh perhaps required hundreds of thou
sands of years in their accomplishment.
The prize is no less than determining when
this mysterious people lived, how they
lived, when they passed out of existence,
and why they became extinct."
1 href) of a Kind.
More than fifty years ago there lived in
the north of England a worthy old Metho
dist circuit preacher. His circuit at that
time was in a mining district, and, as may
be supposed, contained some of the rough
est characters to be found anywhere. For
a time after commencing his labors there
the veteran preacher had a hard struggle
with this unruly element, but at length his
rare tact, energy and decision conquered it,
and be became both feared and respected
bv all. Among friends he was most heartily
cordial, but towards trillcrs or scoffere he
wielded such a terrible power of sarcastic
repartee that they generally let him alone.
One morning while walking along a public
toad to fill an engagement he encountered
three young students who, it seemed, were
out for a day of it. On seeing his approach
in the distance they, with ail the conceit
common to such bipeds, proposed and
planned to have some fun at his expense;
so on coming up to him and pretending to
think him as old Jew, the first said in suit
able accent: "Good morning. Father Abra
ham." The second, "Good morning, Father
Isaac" Third, "Good morning. Father
Jacob..' "Gentlemen," said he, very
blandly, and mimicing their acceut, "this
must surely be a case of mistaken identity.
I assure you that 1 am neither Father Ab
raham, Isaac nor Jacob, but am Saul, the
son of Kish, come out to seek my father's
asses, and lo ! I have found them. Good
morning, gentlemen.

Wolves Capturing Horses.
Whenever wolves associate together
for misehiet there is always a numer
ous train ot aoialier ones to follow in
the rear, and act as auxiliaries iu the
work of destruction. Two large wolves
ire sufficient to destroy the most power
ful horse, aul seldom more than two
ever begin the assault, although there
may be a score in the gang. It is not
less curious than amusing to witness
their ingenious mode of attack. If
there is no snow, or but little on the
ground, two wolves approach In the
most playful and caressing manner.
lying, rolling and frisking about, until
the too cradulous aud unsuspecting
victim is completely put off his guard
by curiosity and familiarity. During
the time the gan x, squatting, are look
ing on at a distance. After some time
speut in this way the two assailants sepa
rate, when one approaches the horse's
head, the other his tail, with a shyness
and cunning jieculiar to themselves.
At this sta.i of the attack their frolic
some iipproaehes become very inter
esting; the former is a mere decoy, the
'atter is the real assailant, and keeps
his eyes s tea lily fixed on the ham
strings or flanks of the horse. The
critical moment is then watched and
the attack is made simultaneously ; both
wolves spring at their victim at the
same instant one at the throat, the
other at the flank and if successful,
which they generally are, the hind one
never lets go his hold till the horse is
completely disabled. Instead of spring
ing forward, or kicking to disengage
himself, the horse turns round aud
round, without attempiug a defense.
The wolf before, then springs behind
to assist the other. The sicews are
then cut, and iu half of the time I have
been describing it the horse is on its
side; his struggles are fruitless the
victory is won. At this signal, the
lookers on close in at a gallop; but the
smalt fry of followers keep at a respect
ful distance, until their superio-s are
gorged, and then they take their turn
unmolested.
A ltattle Field.
The grouping ot falling men and
horses, the many heaped up masses of
dead moved strangely by the living
maimed among them, showing the
points where the deadly strife had been
most severe; the commingling of urn
forms of friends and foes, as both lie
scattered on the ground on w hich they
fell; the groups surrounding this and
that individual sufferer, heariag his
last words, giving to him the last drops
of water which will ever moisten his
lips on earth; the stretchers borne from
various points, each carrying some of
ficer or private soldier, who lias now
the startling feeling forced upon- him,
"It hn come to this, and yet there may
be hope of life ;" his excited but over
worn spirit, hali-faintiug as it is, ye
dreaming a mixed, feverish dream of
the charge in which he met his wound,
and the thoughts of home that flashed
upon the heart, as it seemed to commit
that heart to a moment's oblivion of all
else. Then comes the first dawn of a
hope that life may be spared ; the view
of horrid objects passed, seen with a
dimmed eye; hope of life growing
stronger, but with it now a dread ol
some operation to bj undergone; the
sound of guns still heard, begetting a
feverish, impatient desire to know the
result of the battle. Again, a partial
waVing up at the voice of tha surgeon ;
he and his attendants seen as through
a mist; the deafeued feelings of utter
weakness causing all to seem as though
they spoke in whispers; the still furth
er rousing of the mind as the cordial
administered begins to take effect; the
voice of a comrade or friend lying close
by, himself wounded, yet speaking to
cheer; the operation borne bravely,
and felt the less as it gives promise of
a life just now seemingly lost to hope;
through it all fresh news, ever arriv.
ing from aifiiJst the din of the strife
yet raging fall this has a life, and mo

AGRICULTURE.
Egg-F.atixg dt Pri.i.ETs. As a gen
eral thing, this habit is Introduced by
the accidental breaking of an egg. It
may be induced by throwing egg-shells
from the kitchen into the poultry yard;
they should betroken into small pieces
before giving them to fowls. Some
times eggs crack by freezing in cold
weather, and thus expose a portloii of
their contents. Eggs are very delicious
morsels to liens. If one fowl acquires
this habit, all the others in the same
flock will soon learn it too, if confined
where they see what Is going on; aud
they always make a rush al w hatever
one of their fellow is eating. The habit
is one Vi ry hard to kreak; killing the
whole flock seems to be a desperate
resort ; but if the brood is not especially
valuable, and the flock a small one, is
is really the best possible method saving
time and money In the end. The fol
lowing method may be tried first, how,
ever : Let the fowls have free range in
summer, or draw them off' to a locality
at some 11 tie distance from the nests
in winter, and let ihe lieois be so cov
ered as to be quite dark, and prevent
the laying hens from seeing the eggs,
liens will not Slay in a dark nook to
scratch and peck, although they prefer
a rather dark place to lay iu. Scatter
wheat screenings nnd pounded chand
ler's scraps, or other attractive iood
among straw, or some such light stuff,
to i ml uce them to spend their time
scratching for it. Their visits to the
nests will then be only on the legiti
mate business of laying. If tow Is have
an unrestricted range, the insects and
other attractions of the fields will
aaswer the purpose ot an artificial
scratehing-place in summer; but In
rough, wet weather, or in winter, the
fowls must be employed in-doors to
prevent forming bad habits, or to cure
them if already formed. All the grain
remaining at the seratching-place at
night very likely will be devoured by
rats and mice. However, by ex
ercising a modearte degree of calcu
lation, one will coutrive to throw down
just enough iu the morning to last till
the middle of the afternoon, and the
remainder of the day's allowance can
be given betore dark.
The harvesting of the carrot crops
can be facilitated by running a plow
on one side of tbe rows, when the
roots are easily removed by hand.
The tops are then cut off, and surface
moisture lrom the roots dried by ex
posure to the sun a day or two, when
they may be stored iu a cellar, out of
doors, or in pits like turnips aim po
tatoes. Carrots having a greater ten
dency to decay than many roots,
should never ba stored in great bulk,
but placed in small heaps only, and
kept at as low a temperature as possi
ble above the freezing point. On the
approach of warm weather they incline
to sprout, if left iu bulk ; hence, when
it is desired to preserve them longer,
the crown ought to be cut off and the
roots spread in a cool dry place.
Horses thrive on carrots given ju
diciously with other feed; they are
also excellent for working cattle.

Surface Drains. If not already
made, ample drains should be provided
to free the fields from surface water.
Drains that have been plowed out, may
need clearing in places with space or
hoe, that the water may pass oil read
ily. Iu laying out open drains, the
the slopes should be so made, that the
water will not flow off too rapidly,
with a gentle inclination only ; in this
ease much of the water will soak into
the soil : and will not wash away
either the soil, or any manure that is
on tbe slopes.
Harrowing Wheat. Harrowing
wheat in the rpring will increase the
yield at least five bushels to an acre;
it wont hurt the timothy, and the
clover seed can be sown afier the har
rowing is done. It is an easy matter
for auy farmer to prove the truth or
falsity of snob a statement. Try it
on one acre in the spring if yon do net

the result. It is only bv experiment

DOMESTIC.
To Prepare Firm. Fish is a delicious
dish for the dinner-table, and ot itself
often suffices for a good ditin r. But It
must De nicely cooked aud servea.
What can be more unappetiziug than a
fish brought to the table all broken to
pieces, or not half done salmon red
with bloot, cod nearly raw, or mack
erel not properly cleaned Let great
care be taked to clean the fish well be
fore it Is cooked. Slit it low enough
so as not to leave any blood on the
backbone. Iu al nost all kinds or fish
the portions to be removed are the
gills, thj alimentary organs ana tne
settlement of slime and other impuri
ties inside and outside the fish. Cleanse
the Inside thoroughly, without making
too large au incision, which'disfigjres
the llsh when it is brought to the table,
and may make it, if it is for boiling,
watery. The sound, which adheres to
the bone, must be left undisturbed, but
cleansed; the hard aud soft roe must
also be left In their places; and care
must lie taken not to injure the liver.
F.spoeial care must b taken not to
break t'.:e gall, a that renders the fish
very bitter.
Black Pcdmxo. For black pudding
the method in Ghent, Belgium, is to
take one pound of fat of pork to one
ouart of blood, (which must be rapidly
stirred while pouring out of the ani
mal to prevent congealing,) anu a num
ber of onions, to be chopped to a pulp,
as well as the fat; put in pepper, salt,
summer savory, and sweet marjoram,
mixed all together, with as much flour
as will make a thiu batter; then put it
in well cleansed skins, tied every few
inches apart with string; put them in
a well-filled boiler of cold water, and
let it come near to boiling; then take
them out and put in tresh cold water,
and they may be suffered to boll an
hour, unless the skins show signs ot
bursting; then cool off the water a lit
tle before they are done. They are a
feast lor an epicure. The English
method tor black pudding is simply
the fat pork chopped Into small lumps,
with a very small quantity of onion,
and groats for consistency. I suppose
they should be boiled previous to mix
ing with the blood, add a little salt,
and boil as directed.

prietor of an ovster house, in Provi
dence K. I. was astounded during the
last rain bv the entrance into his estan-
1 shment of. plucky resolute little fel
tow, who was lugging and tugging at
a three-bushel basket, filled heaping
full of long clams. He sat the basket
at the feet of the proprietor with a
slam, shook his hits luiiousiy anu
shouted: "-This must never happen
again ; never sir !" "What?" demand
ed the bewildered proprietor. "Why,
these claims have stood out lor more
than a half hour in the drenching raiu.
I held an umbrella over their heads
until I could stand it no longer. Look
at them, heads out, and ladies among
them at that, wearing low-neck cress
es! Have you the first instincts of a
gentleman about you f Put your ear
down to the basket aud listen to tbe
wild wail of matchless sorrow that
nroceeds therefrom, their inconsolable
clamor for relief, if J may be pardoned
the apparent jocoseness of the expres
sion."
"But it don't hurt clams to be out iu
the wet," crgned the dealer.
"Ldeclare it does." said the fiery
mau. "I know the nature of a clam,
sir. I am conscious that there are
chords in their make-up that vibrate
exquisitely to violent emotions. I know
the secret sorrow or a clam's existence.
What eaith the poet : 'Clamari prof undo.'
That means clams calling for help from
the mighty deep. Clams weep, weep,
ireen. ' Their affairs get at a low ebb,
and then, clam-bank after clam-bank
goes up, and there is nothing left for
the clams to do, but to fritter away
theirexlstence. Ah! weep, poor things.
I mingle my tears with yours. Both of
us have grit, but fate is too hard upon
us. I shall low resume my station
across tbe street and watch, that your
needless infliction of cruelty upon in
nocent clams bo not repeated."
Ax old farmer out in Indiana says
that for his part he don't know where
the present rage tor trimming bonnets
with birds is going to end. Only lour
or live years ago he bought his daugh
ter a humming bird: next year she
wanted a robin, the next a pheasant,
and this season he declares he had to
chain up his Thanksgiving turkey or
she'd have had that perched on top of
her head.
Ol X. lectures his nephew, a con
firmed gambler. "Then you never
played, did you, uncle?" "Yes, once,
in 1S47, at Baden. A gentleman whom
I didn't know proposed agameolecarte
at ten francs. I was weak enough to
agree; he lost ten games." "Then you
must have won a hundred francs?"
"Yes, 1 won them, that is so; but 1
might have lost them, aud 1 have never
touched a card since; it was a lesson."
Ax old lady wearing a pair of green
goggles stepped on the Sacramento
train tt South Vallejo and knocked at
the car door, and actually waited till 11
was opened on the inside by a passeng
er. For consummate politeness tnis
has no parallel.

And now with an heiress he's wed.
"Yoc are my tieisure, after all,"
said au old reprobate striving to pla
cate his wife after abusing her for an
hour or two. "Oh, yes." shesarcastic
ally answered, "that's the reason, I
suppose, you wish me dead so often;
you are seeking to lay your treasure
cup in heaven."
Brothers and Sisters on the ice:
Grown-up Sister "Oh, Charley, it you
must go away, can't you introduce ine
to one of your school-fellows, to look
after me till you come back?" Charley
"Oh.no! It wouldn't do! It would
be so rough on a fellow to fag him out
like that!"
Tiik man with a headache has a faint
recollection that she asked him to call
again next Xew Years Day. He
should have commenced sending his
card in as soou as he became untlt to
compliment the ladies with his actual
presence.
"I have a theory about the dead lan
guages, "said a new student. "What
is it ?" said the professor. "That thev

is the glorious record of "Anakeais," and none
but those afflicted with piles, that moat painful
and pemistent of ait diseases, will fully un
derstand or appreciate the aigoiheance of such
an annouueement. Only those who have
wasted time, money and health on ointments,
lotions, electuaries and the innumerable worse
than useless nostrums and catch-pennies put
forth to deceive tbe ignorant, or what is even
more unsatisfactory, suffered from the em
pirical and routine practice of carders or ig
norant doctors, can realize how great a boon
an infallible remedy for piles must be or
how great a benefactor to the human race the
discoverer. Dr. &lsbce is. Anakeais is not
the chance blunder of inexp nence. but the
result of 43 years' practice aud study of Piles
by an accomplished and scieotuie physician.
It is now endorsed by the most intelligent
physicians or all school and a knitted to be
the nearest to an infallible remedy known. It
is simple, safe and easy of application, relieves
pain at once, helps up the sensitive tumors,
sooihes, compresses and medicates tbe dis
eased parts and ultimately curt s the worst
cases, and any one who will follow the advise
of Dr. cUlsbee in tba printel circular neea
never nave rues again. At m ui omy pro

greatly to be deplored, teems to be al
most inevitable, me uisposiiion oi
the coal in large, so! id bed and highly
inclined positions involves strong sup
ports to keep the superincumbent mas
from crushing and closing the avenues
of the mine, and these supports must
consist of heavy pillars wrought out in
the solid coal ltseir. uonie oi tnis pu
lar coal is ultimately, removed, but
much of it is inevitably lost, especially
in the larger beds, which are frequent
ly found from twenty to sixty feet in
tihekaess, aud often incPned at a an
gle ot from forty to seventy degrees
It is estimated that no more tnan six
per cent of coal is ever taken out of
the mines. That which is broaght to
the surface is run through very prop
erly called a "breaker," i"s-iualy
devised for the destraction of coal.
This process Involves a loss ot gold coil
eqnal to twenty or twenty-five per cent
of the qaauity mined. For the amount
of coal wasted in mining (say forty per
cent) and preparing (say twent-live per
cent) no oue is paid ; it is a dead loss to
the landowner, miner ana snipper.
Plans for utilizing the waste coal dust
or culm of atnhracite collerics have
been frequently suggested, but none
have come into general use. The An
thracite Fuel Company at 1'ort Ewen,
ou the Hudson, iu 1877, used ninety per
cent of coal dust and ten per cent, of
pitch, aud made 300 tens or fuel per
day, consuming 00, WH) tons ot culm
annually, ine ueiaware aau iiauson
Cnuipanv also use, at their mines, CO,-
000 tons per annum. They now ship
all their coal down to pea sizes, ami
consume the culm for generating steam.
If all companies would follow this ex
cellent example it weuld enable them
to sell over half a million torn more
coal and burn tbe same amount of re
fuse, thus earning or saving one half
million dollars per annum, The Phil
adelphia and Beading Railroad em
pa ny has recently introduced a method
of burning coal Uast iu the furnaees
of its engints, and the plan appears to
meet with entire success.

Concenrtattd Food for Uor$s. It Is
known that the Russian and Prussian
Govarments have adopted a kind of
biscuit for horses containing mueh na
tritlve matter in small volume. Ac
cording to La Xalure, the biscuits are
formed of the meal of oats, peas, and
linseed. The various combinations
have been studied with care, and a
mixture has been obtained such that
one kilogramme of it is equivalent to
five kilogrammes of oats. It has been
found that horses bear fatigue better
and are more vigorous when fed with
these biscuit than when fed with oats.
The biscuits can be threaded together by
means ot an Iron, wire; thus a horse
may carry his own food for four or ive
day. Duriag the late war with Tur
key, Russia, used 10,000,000 of these
biscuits, and the results were so good
that the authorities have continued
their use in time of peace.
A foreign apparatus, shape1 like a
gun aud about as long, has recently
been uovised for nailing down flooring
boards. The contrivance cau do, it is
said, the work of six men, and the in
ventor expects ultimately to render it
selr-feeding. Jt is kept ia position by
the foot and knee, and the nail is placed.
point down, in an ajicrture at the top
of the device. It slides down to the
bottom, and then the operator draws up
a rod, and, by one downward stroke of
this, the nail is cleauly driven into the
boiird beneath.
Vecetixe. The great success of the
VtGETtxK as a cleanser and purider of
the blood is shown beyond a doubt by
the great numbers who have taken it,
and received immediate relief, with
such remarkable cures.
Guilty of Wrong. Some people
have a fashion of confusing excellent
remedies with the large mass of "pat
ent medicines," and in this they are
guilty of a wrong. There are eome ad
vertised remedies lully worth all that
is asked for them, and one at least we
know of Hep Bitters. The writer has
had occasion to use the Bitters in just
such a climate as we have mo. t of the
year in Bay City, and hat always found
them to be first-class and reliable doiug
ail that is claimed for them.
llnusrn ot Stockholm, has patented a
proccM by which biscuit war- can be
coated with so thick and adherent a
layer of metal copper, gold or silver
that the articles have every appearance
or massive metalic ones, and can, like
them, be engraved and chased. Prof.
Schmidt suggests that the process is
nearly related to the galvauo-plastic.
WhtH starch is added to milk by
fraudulent dealers the fact can be de
