How THEY Cook AND EAT THEIR ESEMIEs.-The
Honolulu Advertiser Of a late date says:
Hansve We Valley, which lies opposite the bay,
does not resemble our Hawaiian valleys. It is not a
gentle slope between two hills, bat a ravine with
steep sides, apparently split ont from the mountains
tits, however, one OF the largest most beautiful and
productive Of the many glens OF Fatuhiva. This
valley has recently been the scene of protracted
war between the neighboring tribes. One Of these
contests lasted nine days, at the close of which the
bodies OF the captured dead eaten. This eanni
bal custom prevails throughout this group.
They do not have great feast over these human
bodies, as generally supposed to be the case, but
the body Is cut in pieces on the battle field and each
warrior takes his pece-an arm, joint rib accord
ing to bis mertraises it on his gun over his shout
der aud marches home. There he calls his relations
together, and they devour the lesh-some cooking it
in slices like pork but most eat it The motive
which induces them to eat the bodies Of their enc
mies Is revenge they feel that their revenge is
satisfied until they have tasted OF their blood and
aesh. When their hatred, anger and revenge are at
tue highest point aud their enemy lies dead before
them, then It eliminates in the endish act OF eating
human nesh, aud we may easily imagine that the
qniverng heart that cringes and CRATES between their
bloody teeth, Is the sweetest morsel that heather
warrior can taste. This cannibalism is confined
mostly to the older natives. The younger people ap.
pear TO be ashamed Of the practice and il is proba
BILE that before many years Il will be extinct among
the Marquesas.
This famous battle Of Hanaveve, Keketa tells us,
lasted nine days. II consisted rather Of skirmishing
though shots enough were fired to have killed a reTh
ment IL Is quite likely that these simple warriors
did their firing with eyes shut, during the entire
contest, but one or two persons were killed The
heather party in this terrible entered into
compact with their coDqneroTs, In which hostages
were exchanged, but those of the vanquished ran
away, (from fear OF being devonred, perhaps) aud
returned to their tribe who Immediately IN the most
secret manner, took bag and baggage from the soil
Of their ancestors and made hasty retreat 10 the
Island II rahaaka. The victors having gained NOR,
than they anticipated. but just what they desired
took possession and divided the spoil. This eontes
was no ancient fend. There were but two points o
approach 20 the valley. one by the maintain pass AM
one by the sea. Never before had the enemy beeI
able to force this narrow paSsage-a fastness OF ma
| iure. They had been forced n steal through a.
aperture worn BY the waves through the northern
p,ant OF the island, from whence they discharged
their firearms upon their enemies and retreated. |
s now said that the exles are home sick that thel
desire 20 reFn and that there are those Of the con
quefors VINO woald welcome them back.

Yrs AND Downs or LIFE.-The Newark On -
Journal of the 4th inst. says:
Nine years ago to-day, youth, eighteen years old,
impressed in the service Of monarch of Europe
Three years later he arrived at Philadelphia, having
deserted and secured passage TO this country in
Philadelphia packet ship Six years ago to-day, he
wandered about the streets of that city homeless
wanderer, without friends, money wardrobe, and
unable to speak word Of English. After vainly
searching for employment be attempted to commit
suicide, but was restrained. The next day he snc-
ceeded IN obtaining employment and received thirty
cents day for his services In short time his
health became impaired, and he was again reduced
TO the lowest depths OF poverty and wretchedness.
He recovered and experienced variety of fortunes.
until we find him three years ago upon the stage.
Since that time he has been in varied circumstances
and different kinds Of business, and about a year
since came to this city with a considerable sum of
money, which he had saved. he is now worth some
thousands nf dollars. and will tonight commemorate,
