PRICE ONE CENT
The Fill IsIand-Their Progress in CIvi-
Iivuffou

hNHlIOus
These islands are 2ll in number, and oc-
cupy 10000 square miles in the South Pacific
Ocean, about 1000 miles distant from New
Zealand. They are various in character but
generally very productive. They are mostly
inhabited by Oannibals, Who to this day
sometimes roast and eat the bodies of their
enemies, and even of their friends. The FL
jian is large and finely formed; he has re-
markably amiable qualities; nowhere in the
world is more ceremony or etiquette practiced
than in these islands; the houses are large
aHd neatly built; the canoes are of a beauti-
ful model; and the people are luxurious in
their habits, but warlike and perfdious. The
language is remarkably rich, and full of con-
versational power.
A small trade with Europe began, in 1906,
in sandal-wood. They now export cocoa-nut
oil and tortoise SHE'LL with the beche-ds-mer,
sort of sea-slug, much valued by the
Chinese for food. The cocoa-nut is their
staff of life, affording them food, light, cloth
ing, utensils, cups, cordage, fshing-tackle,
wood, oil and carpeting. OF the latter, al
though they use great deal, 700 yards were
sent to America in 1859. The female turtle
is most priced for its shell. They are FIRST
entang!ed in O net, and then captured in
their own element, frequently after labor
ious struggle. The thirteen plates, on the
back and sides, are the tortoise-shell of COM
merce, are called "a head, !" and weigh from
one to seven pounds.
The FUian exports amount to nearly
$l,00e,000 per snnum. Missionaries have
been laboring here for many years, and with
signal, though unboastful success. The GUS
tom of cannibalism has been much abated,
and not a few of the natives have been con-
verted and saved. The principal king,
Thakonebran, has offered the sovereignty Of
his islands to Queen Victoria, a remarkable
fact showing the progress of civilization
among his people.

Extraordinary Abduction Of an Heiress-
Romantic Incident in Rio JaneirO.


Romantic Incident in Rio JaneirO.
The Rio Janeiro correspondent of the New
York Times says:
Some month or two since, as Senior Luis
Antonio Carvalho, one of the wealthiest men
in Rio, was returning with his family from
the opera, his carriage was forcibly stopped
and young man presenting revolver, de-
manded that his daughter should follow him.
which was complied with. The young man
then took her by means of small row-boat
across the bay to Praia Grande, stating his
intention to compel her to marry him when
they should arrive at certain place in that
city, where he had made his arrangements
therefor. The young lady, apparently very
docile, suffered herself to be led along, and
after proceeding few hundred yards
slammed fainting-ft and declared her in
ability to proceed further. Under the cir
cumstances the abductor was obliged to carry
at the same time with instant death il she
were to disclose his intentions to the occu-
pants. By some means, however, she con-
trived to inform the master of the house, who
turned out to be friend Of her parents, and
who caused the arrest of the young man and
returned the young lady to her father. Yes
terday the abductor was tried and sentenced
to ten years imprisonment with hard labor
for the offense. The restOrer of the daughter
was rewarded handsomely by the wealthy
parent, and the girl herself obliged to marry
one of her fathers clerks in order TO save
herself from a future similar ANNOYANCE,
Thus ends small tragedy which might have
formed good basis for James's novel, and
which has been the town-talk of all Rio ever
since its occurrence. at

THE RAISING OF SToOK.-From an article
upon this topic in the Field and Fireside, we
make the following brief extract:
It is choice cows, sheep, horses and mules,
that yield the greatest returns to skillful
husbandmen. The production of scrubs, or
mean stock Of any kind, is rather mean
business, in a pecuniary point of view.
Raise superior animals, on rich perennial
grasses if you seek good income from
your farm-stock husbandry. Such animals
may obtain part of their living from uRim-
proved old fields, particularly sheep; but
they want good clover and pea-hAy in the
winter, or hay made from the English
grasses. The most prominent error in stock
growing, is the attempt to rear fine hogs,
cattle and sheep, on scanty and defective
food Some want great deal of meat, milk
or wool from little or nothing. They ask
nature to make them rich, while they lie in
the shade in summer, and sit by the fire in
winter, and leave their poor animals to
nearly or quite perish from neglect.

Unique Financial Transaction-A French
Dramntist's Mode of Paying n Bill.


Dramntisrs Mode of Paying n Bill.
a Paris correspondent writes in recent
letter:
Martainville was an intimate friend of a
manager who, at one moment found himself
on the point of being ruined The journal
ist, in the incredibly brief space of three
days, wrote the Pied de Mouton, which had
an immense vogue and made the manager s
fortune. But, as usual, the author remained
poor, in all save riches of intelligence. He
was sometimes reduced to straits, when
mother-wit served him instead of hard cash;
and one anecdote OF this readiness is worth
repeating Martainville frequented the Cafe
Coste, a sort of journalistic headquarters,
where all shades of political opinion met, on
neutral ground. With the carelessness char
acteristic of literary Bohemians, the Bourbon
journalist ran up a bill of nearly 1000 francs,
at this establishment, and the account was
one morning presented to him, by the pro-
prietor Of the Cafe, with the intimation that
there was mo hurry" but it was as well for
Monsieur to know the amount of his indebt-
edness. "You can pay" said the landlord,
'by small sums at time, to be credited to
your account, until the whole is cancelled p
Martainville turned the bill over and over
in his hand, with a puzzled air, which lasted
but moment. Turning toward his creditor,
he said-"My dear Dufls, you know very
well that, if left to myself 1 should never
succeed in squaring affairs with you. Still,
you shall be paid, and am about to tell you
how. You are aware that am invited, al
least twenty times day, to drink. In 'fu-
ture, whenever lam the object of such cour-
tesy, shall ask for gin. You will keep a
decanter Of water, for my use, and each time
take my pretended glass Of gin, you will
give me credit for the cost Of the genuine
article"
The proposition was accepted, and in three
months, MartainYille's debt was paid.

Experience Of n FOREIGNER in American
HOtels-ImpressiOn Made by the Lady
Guests.
Gurowski, in his "Nlinor Experiences" con-
tributes the following to the New York Sat-
urday Press:
A hack took me from the depot to the Re-
we're House. Here | had my first insight
into the hearrangements of these great caravan
seraglios, called hotels, and my first expe-
rience ofgenuine American hotel-life. Such
sumptuous public parlors were altogether
new to me. | could not, at first, see the ne
cessity of such luxury, nor Indeed the utility
of having the rooms at all. Not less aston
ishing to me was the noise peculiar to these
hotels; but most astonishing Of all Though
in quite a different way) were the single
sleeping-rooms in the upper part of the
house, with the utter absence of proper fur
niture, such as comfortable chairs, writing
tables, window curtains, &c. Other con-
yeniences, such as hot and cold water, gas
&c, | highly esteemed, but | was then
ignorant that American travellers do their
reading, writing, &C., any where but in their
own rooms. | now saw that the parlor of
the hotel was the common bureau. L did not
know, before, how little privacy of any kind
prevailed in American hotels.
Next came the horrid, ear-splitting, head
breaking gong; then the ladies, all in ball
dresses, streaming from the parlors into the
immense dining-room; then momentary sic
lence of expectation; then the sign of com
mand by the head-waiter, the drill of the
under walters, with their continual maneu-
vers, marches, counter-mArches, and their
free fight at the side-board for ordered
dishes; then the wonderful bill of fare,
mostly in had French; all this kept me in
such state of bewilderment for the moment
that quite forgot to eat. From beginning
to end it was all new to me, there being
nothing in all Europe to resemble it in any
way whatever. l could not help thinking
how delighted would be the great drill-mas-
ter of st. Petersburg-the Grand Duke
Michael, brother Of Nicholas, and one of my
most unrelenting enemies-to know that the
laws of military discipline were rigidly car
ried out and enforced among the walters OF
our American dinner-tablesl
Dinner over, most of the ladies returned
to the public parlor, or promenaded up and
down the halls, forming themselves now
and then into groups and tete-a-tetes, and
presenting very animated scene, which af-
torded me one of the pleasaHtest evenings
had spent in America The novelty of the
thing made it more entertaining to me than
any theater, for it was in strong contrast Ia
any thing l had ever seen.

TIE RAREY PRINoIPLR APPLIED TO UN-
RULY HoRsEs.-Among the new inventions
on exhibition at the Fair in Toronto, Canada,
was an application of the Rarey principle to
unruly horses when driven before a vehicle.
A line is attached to strap at the fetlock of
the forefoot it passes up the leg, being con-
fined by an elastic band above the knee; then
passes through a fastening, at the back-band
lever, either for the hand or foot, which
completes the apparatus. If the horse, when
in harness, attempts to run or kick, the ap-
plication Of the lever lifts the foreleg and
confines it Ia Rdrey.

Interesting Interview of n French Liter
atteur with COleridRe,s DauRhter


n. Pichot, the French literateur has pub
lished q volume of miscellanies and remin-
iscences, which, from the city of Aries, his
birthplace, he calls ArleSienneS, chronicles,
legends, tales, and biographical and literary
recollections.' NJ. Pichot has done much to
familiarize English literature in France, and
dates from 1922, his first introduction to the
English soil. In that year he was for some
time the guest of Southey at Keswick, while
there were under his roof two charming
visitors-the daughters respectively of the
poets Coleridge and Wordsworth. His first
glimpse of the former lady is very Frenchily
described in pleasant little glimpse of the
poets household. 81 shall never forget"
says Mons. p, "when, in the evening, as we
were all sitting round the tea-table my host,
alittle surprised at the acquaintance with
English literature displayed by young
Frenchman of that day, asked me whether /
was acquainted with Coleridge's writings.
For answer was rather proud to be able
to repeat the first stanza of his Love- and
had scarcely got beyond all thoughts, all
passions, all delights &C., when Southey in
terrupted me with, Here is Miss Coleridge.'
Good heavens, fancied knew the poets
masterpiece | exclaimed, as gazed on that
delicate yet blooming countenanee, an ideal
impersonation of the weird witchery of her
fathers muse, with prolonged look of adj
miration, and to continue the quotation,
She forgave me that | gazed'
TOO fondly in her face"
This lady was, of course, Sara Coleridge,
who SO nobly devoted herselfwith her cousin
and husband, Henry Nelson Coleridge, to
the care of her fathers fame by collecting
and editing his works. Miss Wordsworth,
afterward Mrs. Quilliman, is described by
the enthusiastic young foreigner as beauty
, of h more dignifed and stately caste.

Correspondence of the Iadianapolis Journal.
indiana Politics Turpie for Douglas.
PAoIl, Ind, June 26.
Mr.. EDIroR-The candidates for Lieut..
Governor, in accordanec with their ap
pnintment. spoke ia tnis place yesterday.
Although the work OF harvesting has lust
set in, large audience vas in attendance
The principles of he Republican party
were ably vindicated by Judge Morton
The most marked and telling chsracteris-
tics of the Judges manner Of speaking are
honesty and caudor. He speaks like a
statesman-not like apolitician. Turpie's
reply was very unsatisfactory 10 the De-
mocracy. His particular friends say he
was sick--not able to speak. He possess
ses q good deal of adroitness, and should
Judge him TO be pretty good county pol
itician How be was ever pot forward for
Lieut. Governor is unaccountable. Judge
Morton certainly rises infinitely above him
in all the qualifications for public station.
10 his speech yesterday Mr.. Turpie came
out fully and unequivocally for Douglas I;
denounced Yancey and the slave code De.
mocracy with great spirit and in the
strongest terms. This offended many Of
the Breckenridge men. heard a strong
and influential Democrat say that unless
Turpie took back his remarks 10 reference
to the anti Douglas wing Of the party he
would never vote for him. believe Orange
county will give more votes for Breckin-
ridge than Douglas. Douglas has some
friends, but many enemies whose opposi-
tion and hatred is intense and uncompro
missing. hn
Republication is steadily gaining ground
in this part Of the State, and We work on
with the daily increasing prospect OF a
brilliant victory 10 October next. The
Fillmore vote with the rarest exceptions,
will be cast for Lincoln. ,... 49, -
