SCIENCE OF NAVIGATING HUMAN
IF, ESH.

"A recent book on New Zealand affords
the pleasant information that human flesh
10 tough, and, to be palatable, requires
more cooking than any other meet-but,
once "done to a turn" it is Of singular
tenderness and sweetness. A voyager by
the name of Jenkins endeayored to save
the life of a young female slave, who was
about to be killed and eaten in New Ica-
land. lie offered any quantity Of pigs Ior
her, but the chief said, "a piece Of Maoori's
flesh is much better than pork" and he
killed her and ate her. The same account
mentions a highly civilized New Zealan-
der who had become partner in an Eng
lish commercial house. He had in his
younger days been addicted to human
flesh, and, being a verycandid and really
high-minded man, he admits, that, thougi,
he has now acquired totally ditferenttasles,
the relish with which he partook Of can
nibal feasts--especially when the feshy
part of q young female was served Up
is still a matter OF by no mean Disagree
able recollection to him.
A celebrated New Zealand Chief, eGu.
Gated in E~ngland-and educated we'll
after he returned home, became involved
in war with d n%eighboring tribe, and his
education seemed but 10 have deepened
his cannibal ferocity. After his first war
feast, it was remarked that he was more
addicted to the human banquet than any
Of his followers.
The taste for any kind of food seems to
be acquired. Food esteemed u luxury by
one race, is loathed by another; but it has
been remarked that all cannibal races have
a peculiarly fierce and repugnant look in
comparison with the non-man-e eating races.
There are some who lament over the de-
crease Of the inhabitants Of the Pacific
Isles, and attribute their decrease to the
eviI influence of civilization. This is u
great Observation-Disclosures left the root

Why! 1t is well known that in any coun-
try where the females are greatly dispro-
portioned to the males-in fewer number
that . decrease in the number Of inhabit-
ants is the certain result. This is the case
with the native races Of the Pacific Isles,--
the males are about 100 to 80 females.
More females were destroyed than males
during their native wars, and they have a
hard and bitter lot. Civilization has anne
liorated the condition of the females. and
q turning point may not be far distant, at
which the Pacific native races may stop
decreasing. This opinion is adverse TO
all those who have written upon the sub
ject, but they all state, too, that the mixed
races always dwindle away "a mixture be-
tween the whites and the Pacific native
races.) The Pitcairn Islanders, however,
afford an irresistible argument against
such conclusions. They have increased

A NOBLE EXAMPLE,

Whenever we see u small crowd in the
streets, we always suspect that there is
something worth seeing or hearing at the
spot, and we are seldom disappointed in
this expectation. Yesterday, tor an eX-
ample, we saw u little miscellaneous con-
gregation Of citizens Oh second street; and
on approaching the point OF attraction we
saw a very gentlemanly young man, dress
ed up to the mark, and sporting II magnif-
cent goatee and pair Of whisters, who was
handling a payer ramrner among several
other persons engaged in the same kind OF
laOor-some repairs being il progress IN
that part Of the street. The young gentle
man, as intimated above, was dressed in
the most fashionable mode, and this excl
ted the curiosity Of the spectators. who
seemed to consider it something uncom-
mon for such a dandyish person to be
occupied with such a work OF utility. We
suppose that our readers generally are
aware that driving down paving stone with
a"rammer'i is no baby's play; il Tact, the
toilsome employment made our dandy per-
spire freely. And impaired d most enyia-
BILE ruddiness to his complexion Observ-
ing thatthe b~ystanders took a lively interest
in his pursuit, he came TO d pause, wiped
his brow with a rich silk handkerchief, and
thus addressed the assembly:
"Ladies and gentlemen. perceive that
you are anxious to know why | am thus
engaged; and not to keep you on the ten
der-hook Of suspense, will let you have
an abridgement Of my history. My father
died several years ago, and left me in easy
circumstances with respect TO money, but

easy circumstances With respect TO diges.

this examination; and we resolved 10 max
