a HORRIBLE CANNIBAL SToRY.-A
horrible tragedy is reported from the
island ofF'Ui, South Seas. The Rev.
Thomas Baker, with an assistant mis-
sionary and six native teachers, went
to visit some inland tribes, and he and
his party were brutally murdered by
one of the tribes, who are described as
the must confirmed cannibals. The
writer says: ''In this town Uongtown)
there lives a notorious cannibal, with
whom I had little conversation. He
pointed me to a 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 representative, and that he
had kept these bones as memento of
his cannibalisn. Many other things
did this inhuman wretch make known
to ME, and his countenance, and more
than ordinarily worn teeth, only helped
to convince me that he had literally
been 4 bone crusher! To have listened
TO this mans statements sand told,
too, in the presence of those who could
have contradicted them if false-would
have removed forever from the minds
of some the idea that Fijians are not
lovers of human flesh. This vile can
nibal confirmed that, as for eating,
nothing was comparable to human flesh,
not even fowls or pork"

There is a custom in Spain which al
ways seemed to me tosbe the perfection
of hospitality. A Spaniard, for instance,
on entering a cafe where he is accus
toned to take his refreshments, will
notice a stranger present-possibly a
foreign traveller. Calling one of the
walters to him, he quietly pays the
strangers bill, takes his own ice or
chocolate, and goes away, without ever
having spoken to the man whom he has,
so surreptitiously entertained. When
the unconscious stranger calls for his
bill he is astonished to find that he owes
nothing. In travelling by diligence
from Mexico to-Vera Cruz, l found 1T
impossible to pay for meals at the hotels
on the road; some one OF my fellow
passengers had always done 1t IN ad-
vance. One of them, a Portuguese
gentleman, afterwards visited me in
New Y o5rk, bringing with him a guam
titv of the choicest Havana cigars as a
present. If ever / visit the banks of
the Tagus, l hope to find him still
! living. .. -...- .'. e.. - .l ,.s..
| In the remote parts of Sweden.and
Norway, where, there are no accommo
dations for travellers, the clergymen are
always expected to entertain them.
This is sometimes a heavy tax upon
some members of that ill paid class,
but it is cheerfully endured from sense
of duty. Few houses, indeed, are closed
against the stranger, and the poorest
host ottentimes declines to take pay
ment. l often made a journey through
France, under circumstances which
compelled me to lodge in the humblest
'cabarets; and although a few sous
were required for food and lodging,
yet honesty, the simple kindness Of the
peasants, the little attentions they are
so careful to pay and SO delicate in
paying, were grateful examples of the
hospitable spirit. .9is-,sr/

Taxation Of Bonds

As to taxing the Governments debts,
the only parties who have tried this pol
icy and tested it were the rebels, under
Secretaries A4emminger and Trenholm.
When the C0nfederacy had issued 1913 +
28A 1853 in treasury notes circulating as
surreflev tl1eir# 'CepEeGlalfOn was such
that $40 in notes were required to buy
81 in gold. All notes over 500 were
taxed 10 per cent per month after May
2, 1864, and all notes outstanding at the
end, Of the year were taxed 100 per cent
l. e., were repudiated. By this means
B640, 947, ,345 were forced into worthless
per cent bond, which was offered as a
substitute for the repudiated currency.
But, Of course, everybody saw that the
Government which could tax the cur
rency out of existence could in the next
breath tax the bond out Of existence /;
and so this Rebel Government, which
undertook to live by taxing its own
debts, died because nobody would lend
to such pack of swind lers. The North
ern sYmDathizers of these Rebel repudi-
atOrs believe in running the finances Of
the Govern n1ent in the same dishonest
manner. Within a few months after
the Rebels passe the allowed act they
could not borrow at all, and were COM
PEELED to make a "fOreed loan, - !. e., to
rob the bank vaults, like a common
gold. If our Recommendations State
or National-shOuld begin by taxing a
bond one per cent, they would soon,
like the Rebel fnanciers, strike home
by making il ten, twenty. fifty, hum
dred. per. cent. Only moral turpitude
or financial ignorance could say to a
public creditor, 81 have agreed to pay
you this bond with six cent interest,
'fand on the faith of that agreement I
borrowed the highest sum the bond
"Would fetch in the market. / now
sttax you one per cent on my debt to
n @
would tax the bond 100 per cent, and
when the borrower wanted another
loan be would have to get it as the Reb-
els did, by robbery.
There are three reasons why the Uni
ted States cannot allow its bonds to be
taxed
1. It dishonest, as we have shown.
2 1t is unconstitutional, as the Su-
preme Court has decided in BIcCullOch
agt. the state of Maryland, 4 Wheat
on, BIG; Weston agt. the City of
Charleston, 2 Peters, 449 ; and Osborne
agt. the Bank of the United States, 8
Wheaton, 738.
8. Finally, it is practically impossible
to make the creditOrpay the tax, unless it
be so large as to amount to reputation.
The attempt tc levy tax of per cent,
or any similar amount, on the bond
holders would fail Our national debt
is in such position that three-fhhs of
it must be renewed within "A few years,
and ought to be funded at the lowest
rate of interest now. Whatever tax is
levied on the public creditor he adds to
the amount of interest for which he viii
buy the bond. In the former case the
taxpayer pays the additional / per
cent interest directly; in the latter he
pays it in the fact that q larger issue Of
bonds is necessary to renew the henatiOn-
al debt, and, the principal of the debt
being thus increased, the burden there
of falls on the Taxpayer, the bOndhold-
er drawing as large net interest on his
bond as if no effort had been made to
tax it.-N Y. Tribune.

Alabama.

The SandusIzy Register, itself an ad-
vocate Of the immediate restoration of
Alabama in accordance with the terms
of Senator sherman's bill, says;
The Chicago Tribune takes the same
view of the admission of Alabama which
has already been presented in these coll
umns. 1t says:
eve trust Senator Sherman's bill for
the admission of Alabama will be pass
ed without hesitation or delay. The
power to admit a State is in the discre-
tiOn of Congress. The power to admit
Alabama rests upon the same principle
as the power to admit Colorado, and the
right Of Congress to give seats to their
Senators and Representatives is the
same in both cases. The new cOnstitu-
ton OF Alabama has been framed in ac-
cOrdance with the Reconstruction law
IL is republican ia form. 1t cOnfers no
monopoly of political rights and priviI-
ge7 on any class, but admits all citizens
to sn equal participation in the govern
nlent. Why then should il not be ad-
nlitted into the Union"
OF the power of Congress to admit AL
ALBANIA, Notwithstanding the fact that
the Constitution did not receive the re-
quisite number of votes, the Tribune
says:
1.-THE power to admit is certainly as
great as the power to exclude. If we
assume that Congress had power to pass
the first Reconstruction acs, then the
power to admit Alabama is conceded.
Then there is nobody to oppose it whose
resistance is worth considering. The
admission once effected will be an
accomplished fact of the utmost soIidi-
ty, and the gates of hell cannot prevail
against it. If Congress desires to Sc
cure what it has already done, and in
sure what remains to be done, let it ad-
NIT Alabama at once, and bid defiance
to all rebels and all enemies Of equal
suffrage North and South"

Mount VesuVius-Further Partiou-
lars ofthe ERUPTION.

The Naples correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes, under date Of Janu-
airy 18th:
Up to this time the Streams have been
flowing over the ground broken up by
former eruptions, thus finding frequent
interruptions to their course; some
times being compelled to deviate and
make circuit, at others pausinG and
rising until they surmounted the black
rugged mass before them. The direc-
ton taken by the great proportion Of
the lava, at that time, was Ottaiano
on the bed, in fact, which was formed
in 1880. Woe, however, it was said to
Resina and Terre del Greco, if the lava
flowed in the direction of those cities.
Accordingly to certain predictions,
therefore, those cities were in great dan
ger, but sufficient sccOut had not been
taken of the periodicity Of the course of
the lava. Had It been continuous the
danger would have been great, but
there are always short intervals Of re-
pose and cessation; the mountain stops
now and then Rs if to recover breath,
and during these intervals the lava
haEdens on the surface and new stream
has to begin its labOrs.
For two days the stream which flowed
toward Hesina, and in the close neigh
borhood Of the Observatory. advanced
with a velocity of 500 meters q day, and
had it continued at this rate it would
long since been in The streets Of the
town; but owing to the causes already
described, no such disaster occurred
That which was for some time In great
danger was the road by which one as
cends to the Hermitage, on which the
lava was advancing rapidly. The tenn
OrarY pause Of the two streams, and a
slight change in the direction Of one of
them, however, allayed all apprehen-
sions for the fate of the tOwns lying
beneath. 1t is calculated at this time
the depth of this bed of burning matter
was from to meters, 80 inches and
37-I0Oths being equal to g meter. Ere
quent shocks Of earthquake were felt in
Naples during this interval, and on the
llth, at midday one was perceived very
sensibly. For the last three or four
days, through the instruments in the
Observatory have been as active as ever,
the lava has advanced with less rapid
itY, not more than 800 or 100 meters a
day in the direction of Terre del Greco. I
which may now be considered safe, as
it would take month at the same rate
to advance as far as the town. The
measurement of the depth on the Plano
delle GleuStre, which was taken on the
night OF the 18th, was s meters. Ac-
cOrding to last nights report, the guam
uty Of lava elected was much diminish
ed, and the SeismOmeter was less active
but these facts are not to be regarded
as indications of the approaching cessa-
ton Of the eruption. On the contrary,
such intervals Of repose we have had
continually, and the probabilities are
that a more violent oUtburst will fol-
low.
