Man rs an. .ss.ticIe or food.

twas formerly supposed that the relish
with which certain savage tribes ate their
enemies arose from the qualification of the
passion of revenge. Within the last few
years, however, it has been clearly shown
that some of the barbarian man-eaters are
really fond of human flesh for its own sake
that they enjoy it as a civilized epicure
enjoys turtle soup or venison. Your Fejee
Islander, now, thinks the greatest praise
he can bestow upon anything edible is to
say that it is as slender as q dead man p
The Fejeeans have plenty ofprovisions; but
they consider Song pig,''A-their pleasant
name for human flesh much finer than
pork, beef or mutton. A modern traveller
tells us that one of these chiefs-the head
man of Raki Raki-is said, in the course
of his luxurious life, to have eaten nine
hundred persons. 1t is also stated that
your Fejeean, as rule, relishes. his ''long
pig" most when it has been roasted alive.
The New Zealanders, ON the either hand do
not consider mans flesh as delicacy, but
eat dead horses and "wise men" whether
they have been friends or enemies makes
no differance,) with the idea that they Inn
bibe the yalor and intellectual qualities Of
theIdeeeased during the process. The no.
BILE savage" of Terra del Fuego never eats
any of his own people, except when other
meat is remarkably scarce, although always
ready to take in the shipwreclSed stranger
In severe winters, if we are to believe
Admiral Fitzroy, the Terra del Fuegans,
when they can obtain no other food, take
the oldest woman of their party, hold her
head over thick smoke made by burning
green wood, and pinching her throat, choke
her" after which she is served up to her
friends. boeh )ti
The barbarians, on being asked why they
did not eat their dogs instead of their old
ladies, naively answered that their dogs
caught otters, but that their venerable
grandmothes and aunts did not. Proba-
bly, majority of even the lowest order Of
savages prefer fish and yams to human flesh,
but it is nevertheless true that there are
several tribes in Australasia, Africa and the
South Sea Islands, that actually banker af-
ter it, There is some consolation, however,
in the assurance given us by travellers that
most of these anthropophagi prefer colored
persons to Caucasians as table luxuries.-
This fact is certainly encouraging to the
missionary interest; but then there are in
discriminate feeders among savages as well
as among the civilized races, SO that now
and then a missionary suffers. t.-.,

O0aCiaE InsfDeTttnessce.

= One thing which strikes an American
most unpleasantly on his return from So
journ in any European country is the rude
ness, often amounting to absolute insolence,
of so many Of our employees. A grunt and
surly nod are nearly all the satisfaction
that the stranger gets who asks for infor-
nation at some of our depots and off
ces, and he may consider himself fortunate
if he is not directly affronted. The i'm
preston with the lower class of officials
seems to be not that they have the public
to serve, but that they are the superiors and
the masters of the public. +, -
The preposterous haateNr Of some of our
hotel clerks has become standard butt, for
the shafts of universal ridicule and yet that
class of WORTHLESS are, by no means, more alb
surd in their way than host of railroad
conductors, store messengers, &C.. whom We
all encounter daily. r.InaI 67E 500 1
en- What there is in those branches of bust
ness to inspire conceit, We cannot, for the
life of us, divine. We see learned sayants,
renowned soldiers, celebrated statesmen,
famous orators, poets, writer's and artists,
profound scholars and men distinguished
equally for wealth and philanthropy bearing
their honors meekly, while affable, polite
and obliging to all their fellows How is
it, then, that such q mass of whippersnap-
pers possessing neither money, talents, po-
sition fine appearance sgd " sss,sns r moro
and be more opinionated and dogmatical
than if all the power along with the riches
ofthe earth belonged to- them q Is there
not something radically wrong in the style
of training that produces such fruit G-and
are not employers in great degree, respon-
sible for the bearing ofthe people in their
pay, ,-,.,.,,
The evil on which we animadvert has
become so very glaring that it is time to re-
act against it. Public opinion is resistless
when brought to bear, and we, feel assured
that fleo1tteous manners and 1obliging
ways were requisites of equal Importance
with ability and fidelity, we would soon
hear the last Of the petty insolence now 50
bitterly complained ofby the ladies and
gentlemen who have business to transact.

II Picture or Japan.

The following details respecting this
country are given in a recent letter: "a
All the regular troops are composed OF
robust men. Their arms, which are made
in the best style, are the musket. the bow,
the sword, and the poignard. No other
troops in Asia have arms equal to theirs. =
The sharpness Of their swords and the light
ness and polish of their cuirasses excel those
of the Rnropcuus. MaIversation by func-
tionary, embezzlement of public funds, ex-
tortion, bribery of officials, coming, of false
money, murder and robbery are punished
with death, and not only of tho guilty per
son, but of his father, children, and even
all his male relatives, who are executed at
the same moment, however distant they
may be one from another. This system,
which is repugnant to European notions
and TO- sound principles of justice, appears
to be adopted by the Japanese from the
belief that crime Is owing to d bad educa-
ton. The modes of punishment adopted
in Japan are of different sorts, but all are
horrible. The principal is crucifxion, and
is reserved for traitors, murderers, and in
cendiaries. The culprit is fastened on the
cross head doMnwards, and is left to die,
unless he obtains the favor Of being des-
patched by stabs from a poignard. ,Parri-
eide, incest, calumny, fraud, even at play,
and false testimony before q magistrate, are
punished with hanging or beheading. beIi
the offenders begentlemen or soldiers, their
bowels are opened have even the
privilege of performing that operation
themselves Feeuniary fines are almost I'M
known. The corporal punishment of the
whip and bastinado are reserved for slaves
and servants and are inflicted by their mas
tiers, not by public exesutioners o. div
The Japanese consider corporal punish
ment so degrading that q Japanese mother
never strikes her offspring. Children are
made to bear hunger, thirst, cold, pain, and
excessive labor, and the rigor of the season;
and are told necessarily that they must en-
dure with patience the evils and n,isscr.n nes
of life. Horror of falsehood and fraud, and
love of virtue, modesty, and justice are
diligently inculcated. One of the results
Of this system Of education is to inspire the
Japanese with a passion for books, which
causes surprise TO European visitors. The
book selling trade in Japan is subject tone
restriction, and there are everywhere, ever
in towns of small population, numerous
book-shops. Agreat part of the literaturs
of the Japanese is. Chinese and .Aei.
kne,--,-S,so vi art and agriculture is derived
from the same people. The language COM
monty employed is becoming every year
more Chinese in character. abm 81.
And yet the Japanese despise the Chinese
they do so because they have, been taught
from their early age that the Chinese are
not soldiers; that in ancient times a Japan
csc army defeated an immense Chinese army
IN the Corea; and that Coxinga himself
who was the scourge of the sea and the ter
ror of the Chinese Empire, was Japanese
as were also . greater part Of his compan-
ions. 1ss ~. .s il-sr Sd - far ear

n CATCHING SHARKS m THE, SoUTH PA
oIFIC.+4A remarkable mode of catching
sharks is practiced by the natives ofAitu-
TAXI, At one end of the island is large
lagoon, formed by the reef that runs round
it, stretching far out from the land, and
there the sharks breed and are regularly
fed, AS they are very prolific II have
seen as many as twenty-five and thirty little
on 90 taken otif ,>r sraris---efr-y iIiureasc
very rapidly, When any feasting is going
on amongst the natives, sharks being held
necessary to complete the variety Of food,
parties are sentou to catch them in the la
COON. Provided with a long rope, and a
supply of bait two or three young men
start off in canoe, and take up q position
over the haunts of the sharks, throw over
bait until the monsters have eaten to re-
pletion,, Waiting quietly in their canoes,
the fishermen soon see the sharks stretching
themselves lazily on the sand, with their
heads just out of the caves formed by the
overhanging rocks that rise from the bot
tom of the lagoon. With moose in the
end of the rope which he holds in his hand,
a man quietly slips from the canoe into the
sea, dives down to a shark, slips the moose
over his tai, and as, with a jerk of the rope,
he tells the men above the prey is fast, he
himself, with q strong spring from the
ground, quickly rises to the surface. All
pulling at the rope together, the shark is
soon brought to the waters edge, and as
the tail isfaised out of the sea, he becomes
helpless; then with strong pull together,
after a moments spell, the shark is sudden
ly bounced into the canoe. Frequently
shark lies at the mouth of the cave, with
only his head out, the ailcannot be reach-
cd. The diver has then to tap the monster
gently on the head, who, lazy and drowsy
after the good feed just supplied from the
canoe, quietly turns his tail to the intruder
and, on slips the moose before he knows
it is there. - iH.. T.sis fs5i1 ass

The actor. ana tie Fer,.v,ea,,,

Kean, who had run the gauntlet of the
country round, who had eaten fire at a
country fair for few pence, and had, urged
on by necessity, enacted all the feats of q
clown in the circus, to the admiration of a
boor in barn, for mug of ale and litter
ing down of straw for the night, had so fire.
quently pressed the hand of perjury that he
became quite familiar to the touch; and
social with it squalidness. 4iq asa
About two years before his first ap-
pearance at Drury Lane, be was success
full enough, as he then thought, to OBJ
tain an engagement at the Hay market, I'M
der then management of Morris; fortune
smiled upon him forty shillings a week
was the temptation ofafiiuence. 1t 80 hap
pened that at the time when he had to en-
ter upon this engagement, he was starring
in little village in Essex, and had to make
his way to London in the best way he could,
by picking up on his way what he could
tempt from the ,clodhopper by nightly ex-
hibitions. Kean, unsuccessful as ever. came
to the Lea River, which divides the counties
of Essex and Middlesex, and found himself
destitute of even one penny to pay the ferry
over; the appearance of the Charon Of the
ferry was stern and forbidding, and the
tragedian was dismayed from soliciting a
free passage So he stripped, and, making
q bundle of his clothes, tied them on his
head, and dashed into the water. Charon,
on seeing this, called out TO his dog, lying
quietly at the bottom of the boat
Here, Growler, seize him u W r..
At the word, the dog dashed into the
river and without ceremony, conducted
poor Kean to the shore which he had Just
left, and depositing him there, returned to
his master. Kean, watching his opportu-
nifty, again essayed into the stream but, as
before, the dog returned at his owners bid
ding, and he was once more reconducted
back. Upon this our tragedian angrily re-
monstrated with the ferryman, who coolly
replied i.s'% e
u rents this hear ferry, and am not going
to he cheated by the likes ofyou; SO keeps
my dog there old Growler, to be on the
lookout"
Kean was in the highest state of exasper-
alton, but all the argument was in vain.-
At length, confessing his poverty, the ferry
man exclaimed. - a
"What aren't got penny why didn't
you say SO SO you've been giving me all
this here trouble for nothing Here, jump
in; dress yourself, and be blamed to you!"
Kean did so, was ferried over, and the
churlish ferryman, addressed him, said
You're pretty sort of a chap, to be
travelling about without penny in your
pocket amt youG" and putting a shilling
in his hand, he bid him good by.
From this exploit Kean caught o fever and
ague, which negatived his efforts at the
Hay-market. 'a

I A
THE ORIGIN OF THE NEEDLE GUN.-A
mere accident, less strange, to be-sure than
that which made Berthold Schwartz invent
eunpowder. hut which nevertheless he re-
garded as q hint from Providence, directed
him to another, and we can now say, the
only right way. 1t was this 1t sometimes
happened that quantities of percussion caps
were sent back to him, having been spoiled
by moisture. In order to prevent this,
Dreysse conceived the idea of protecting
them against dampness by covering them
with thin film ofpaper. az "t@'
The result proved to be very opposite,
for the paper attracted moisture, and q
very large order, which had been construct
ed In this way, was sent back to him, as
they were entirely spoiled and unfit for
use. This was great loss to the firm, as
copper was very dear at that time. In or
der to obtain the copper of the caps for
further manufacturing purpeses Dreysse
decided to remove the Illuminating compo-
sition. In order to effect this with as little
time as possible he wanted to do it by ex-
plosion, After various unsatisfactory at
tempts the idea occurred to him of accom-
plishing it by means ola pin or needle con-
structed for that purpose. This expert
ment proved to be entirely successful, and
like lightning the idea struck him of using
the needle altogether for exploding the
cartridge Not less quickly a second idea
dawned upon his mind, that of removing
the entire explosive process from, without
to within the gun, and by inserting the ex-
plosive material into the cartridge to save
the expensive, copper used heretofore for
caps. This was the most important step in
the construction of the Prussian needle gun.
Dreysse at once set to work and in the be-
ginning of 1855 the first needle gun was
made.-H Hours at Home. i ,.,.I Iii
