Down in Mississippi, where snow
storms are as rare as disinterested Radi-
cal patriots, a stage coach was ship
wrecked the other day, and the passen-
gers took refuge in solitary cabin by
the wayside until broken axle could
be repaired. The repair. could not be
completed before morning, and the pas
sengers we're forced to stay there all
night. THE hostess of the cabin was a
jolly old woman, weighing somewhere
in the neighborhood of two hundred
pounds, whose bedroom accommodations
were too limited for so many unexpected
guests, and the only alternative for them
was to pile up the logs on the fire and
"make a night of it'' on the floor. News
of the accident having spread through
the. woods, the neighboring rustics flock
ed in to hear the town news and look at
the store clothes of the passengers, for
such a thing as a stage-coach hadn't
stopped over in that "neck of the
woods; for century. Thisacquisition
to her company did not disconceEt the
old hostess, and by way of entertaining
them she proposed dance. No fiddle
or other musical instrument could
be procured. SO she hummed vocal mel
ody, and kept time. by '.patting Juba"
with her hands. Among the dancers
was Bureau officer, with blue coat and
army brass buttons, who was designated
by the venerable old prompterin the fol-
lowing original style: 1-'a ~
Dance to the man with the goose on the button.
"Tum-a lum, tum-a-lum, tum- -luni-a diddle
Now dance up to the EN-tire stranger,
Tum alum. tum-a-lum, tum- . In m-a-diddle.' y
The "goose-on-the-button" elicited
roars of laughter, but the 'EN-tire
stranger" was too much for the dancers,
and the set broke up in a perfect storm
Of hilarity. 7t-f aaoa

Joking by Exprs IS.

Many are the practical jokes played
by, expressmen on each other. It is
quite the fashion for one office to send
another some useless and cumbersome
article, which is passed on to the next
Office to get rid of it, and thus makes the
circuit of the lines and in the end re-
turns to "plague its inventors" Thus
an old iron pot has been travelling around
between the different offices for long
time. A hen, which was: started from
Syracuse on the 4th of July last. on the
Merchants Union line, is still on her
travels. The agents of the company
there boxed her up and started it off,
and since then she has travelled $4,000
miles. and brought up alive and well
last week at Bridgeport, from whence
she passed through this city, and made
her next stop at Springfield. She is
abundantly supplied with corr, and has
the liberty of the offices wht re she stops.
She is fat and happy. Her box is COM
pletely covered with labels, bearing
all sorts of inscriptions, zone more un-
fortunate" "duly henclosed," &c, She
has now gone East, and may make he,
tour of the New England States before
visiting this city again.
Some time since. a note was sent from
one of the offices of the Merchants
Union, asking informotion of bag con
tanning wearing apparel, which was
missing. The note said that the loser
"was young man twenty years of age
and needed the clothing badly" When
the paper returned to the office whence
it started, it was some ten feet in length
endorsements and notes of all kinds
having been pasted on to its foot. One
of the notes read: I" If the young mar
should be more than twenty years old
will. he still need the clothing l''-Hart

IT, women have, one weakness more
marked than men,, it is towards venera-
tion. They are born. worshippers-
makers of silver shrines for some diyin-
ity or other. which, of course, they al
ways think feilstraightdown from heavs
en-. The first step towards falling in
love with an ordinary mortal, is gener-
ally to dress him out, with all manner of
real or fancied superiority, and having
made him, upi they worship him. Now,
q truly great, mana man really grand
and noble'ih art and intellect this
advantage with women, that he is an
idol read y made to hand, and so thatvery
painstaking and ingenious sex have less
labor in getting him up, and can be
ready to worship him on shorter notice.
In particular is this the case where a
sacred profession and moral supremacy
are added to the intellectual: Just think
Of the career of celebrated preachers and
divines in all agas. Have they not
stood like the images" Nebuchadnezzar,
the king, set up" and all womankind,
coquettes and firts not excepted. been
ready to fall down, and worship. even be-
fore the sound of cornet, flute, harp, sac

with her beautiful face PROSTATE in rev.
erence before poor old, lean, haggard,
dying St. Jerome, in. the most splendid
painting of the world, an emblem and a
sign of woman's external power of self
sacrifice to what she deems noblest in
man? Does not old Richard Baxter tell
u.s. with delightful single hearted
ness. how his wife fell in love
with him first, in spite Of his long face !;
and how she confessed, dear soul, after
many years of married life, that she had
found him less bitter and sour than she
expected Z? The fact is, women are
burdened with fealty, faith, reverence,
more than they know what to do with.
They stand like hedge Of sweet peas,
throwing out futtering tendrils every
where for something high and strong to
climb up by, and when they find it, be
it ever so rough in the bark, they catch
upon it. And instances are not want
ing of those who turned away from the
Aattery of admirers to PROSTATE them
selves at the feet of genuine hero,
who never wooed them, except by heroic
deeds and the rhetoric of noble life.-

! Horrible CannibaI story.


"A horrible tragedy is reported from
The. Island of Fejee,I South Seas. The
Reverend Thomas Baker, with an assist
ant missionary and six native teachers,
went to visit some island tribes, and he
and his party were brutally murdered by
one Of the tribes, who are described as
the, most, confirmed cannibals. The
writer says: sla sss7ost' a ~ .iss1 ''7a'',
"In this town (Longtown) there lives
a notorious cannibal, with whom I had
little conversation He pointed me to
pile of human bones in the fork of an
orange tree under which we were sitting,
and assured me that he had eaten the
men of which each bone there was a
representative, and that he had kept
these bones as memento of his canni-
balism. Many other things did this in
human wretch make known to me, and
his countenance, and more than ordinar-
lily worn teeth, only helped to convince
me that he had literally been bone
crusher. To have listened to this mans
statements, and told, too, in the presence
Of those who could have contradicted
them if false, would have removed from
ths minds ofIsome thAsidea that Fsjeeans
are not lovers, of human flesh. This vile
capnibal declared that, as for eating,
nothing was comparable to human flesh,
not even fowls or pork" ~ 7s isa : j
There is a district in the interior of
the largest island in the group, of which
little is yet known. White men have
crossed over or through it, but it was
not considered safe. e7 a .i jasl
About two months ago, one of the
Wesleyan missionaries, with somewhat
of bravado spirit, determined to pen
citrate into the stronghold of heathen-
ism, by their leave or no. He took
with him ten of the Christian natives of
the coast tribes, and marched boldly on
from town totown, through heathendom,
though he was warned by the people
h time and again, that he would be killed
| if, he went further on. { Still he went on;
and when in the midst of the district
they set upon him and his followers, ,and
killed all but one of the natives, who
escaped more by a chapter of accidents
in his favor than otherwise to tell the
horrible tale. The dead bodies were all
piled up, pow-wow was held over
them by the heathens, and then they
were distributed for cooking. the ruling
chief ke-ping Mr.. Baker, and one native
for. his own private palate. =.
The coast is in Juror. The old
King is making preparations to kill,
hang and quarter the interior tribes, and
sell out the district to white settlers for
cotton growing. Hundreds, or thou
sands, perhaps, will be sacrificed to
avenge the missionary's death.

have stopped at home, or returned when
