HORRORS OF CANNlBALIsM.

The following horrible account of cannibal-
ism, as practiced by the Battas, an extensive and
populous nation of Summarize is extracted from,
the ."Menioirs of Sir Stamford Raf1les." The
account is represented to come from so high an
authority that there can be no quection as to its
correctness.
"a man had been found guilty Of a very com
mon crime, and was sentenced to be eaten, &C
cordng to the law of the land this took place
close to Tappanooly; the Resident was invited
to attend-hc declined but his assistant and a
native officer were present. AS soon as they
reached the spot, they found large assemblage
of people, and the criminal tied to q tree with
his hands extended. The minister of JUS
tice, who was himself chief of some rank, then
came forward with large knife in his hand,
which he brandished as he approached the victim.
He was followed by man bearing dish in
which was u preparation of condiment, compos-
ed of lines, chillis, and SALT called by the Ma
lays,' san,bm. lie then called aloud for the in
iured person and demanded what part he chose ;
he replied the right ear which was Immediately
cut off, and delivered to the party, who, turning
round to the man behind, deliberately dipped it
party then fell upon the body, each taking and
eating the part most to his liking. After they
had cut off considerable part of the flesh, one
man stabbed him to the heart but this was
rather out Of compliment to the foreign visiters,
as it is by no means the custom to give the coup
de grace.

"Troy, Sept. /, 1887.
"Dear SIR - Yours of yesterday received by
this mornings mail. and as to your enquiry reia-
tive to the package submitted to Miss b. while
under the magnetic influence, have to say tho
package came to hand yesterday. The sentence
had been written by friend, and sealed by him

device, without breaking the seal. We think
the seals have not been broken until returned.

"SrEPHEN CovfLL."
p. S. We have just received note from Prov"
idence, with permission to publish our own mar
utive. But as it is very long, and equally com
pick and wonderful, shall first take it to Prov
idence, for the examination of those who were
present OH the occasions our aim is scrupulouS ex-
ucness. We also left note for the blind lady
to read, sealed with seven seals. We have re-
ceived it this morning, the seals unbroken, with
answer written on the outside. This answer is
correct as far as it goes. We were in great haste
at the time of preparing the note, and having the
odd title of queer old book in our pocket, print
ed in a small itoIic letter, we wrote part of the
note with pencil, and stuck two and half lines
of the small italic printing with a wafer. The
note, written and printed, as we left it was in
these words:
"'rhc following is the title, equally quaint and
amusing, of u book which published i'll
England, in the time of Oliver Cromwell -
Eggs Of Charity, ha1d by the Chickens efMe Coz
enant, and boiled By the acaters Of Di0ine LoUe.-
Take e and eat"
The following is the answer sent by Miss B.
"The following is the title, equally amazing
Tor amusng) and quaint, of book published in
England III the time of Oliver Cromwell: Eggs
Of Clarity
"NIss b. does not know whether the word is
amazing or amusing. Something is written af-
ter the eggs Of charity which she cannot make
out''
Thus much for the present. We make no COM
ments. What we know TO be true, we fear not
to declare. Facts sustained by the evidence of
our own senses, we trust we shall ever have the
boldncss to publish. In regard to our narration,
it is alike wonderful and inexplicabe. AS Pauld
ing's black witch in Konngsmarke, says" I're

YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS.

The last accounts show that the fever was rag
ing with great violence at New Orleans. The
deaths for the present week ending the Sd
September are set down at 2lS and for the 3
following days were estimated to be upwards
1877! 1t is stated that the council of the LIST rmu-
nicipalty have passed resolution authorizing
the mayor to appoint two physicians and two
druggists in each ward, TO attend upon the indi-~
gent sick, and provide them with medicines. The
ed municipality have not been less LIBERAL They
have appropriated $4,000 to the charitable list
and have authorized the furnishing of medicines
to the poor gratis. An association of young
gentlemen about to be formed with the
praseworthy object of administering to those
who might be attacked by the epidemic.
The New Orleans Bulletin ofthe 9Th inst says
that the deaths were not much less than Iffty per
dowi The Louisiana Advertiser estimates thea
deaths at fifty to sixty daily.

DlsrREss.-The prospect for our city next;
winter, says the New York Times is really fright
full. Persons we'll acquainted with the subject
estimate that $4,000 persons (male and femule)
are out of employmen:, comprising mechanics of
every description, laborers, Hat trimners, book
binders, folders, taoresses and seamstresses, &C.
&c. Added TO this, our provision and coal DEAL
crs show no disposition to lay up store in i'd
vance of the close of river navigation--n fact.
but few have the means of doing so, and the ne
cessaries of life will be scarce and high. Many
persons during the summer months obtained
sufficient to support life among the farmers, but
the harvest is over, and, no longer wanted, they
try their fortunes again in the cities. What is to-
become of them God only knows. There is no.
ideal picture about this.
