CANEIBALLsM.-According to NJ.
!du Chailu, cOnnubial love is veIy
peculiarly manifested in a certain
pseti0n of Africa. He told the New
York Travellers club on Wednesday
evening that, during one of his ex-
cursiOns into equatorial Africa, he
fell in with a tribe of Pans, or can
nibals among whom polygamy is
practiced. The husbands not only
love their wives and treat them with
studied kindness, but they verify
the old saying, Il love you so much
that cOuld eat you;' by cooking
and eating them after the wives die
a natural death. The distinguished
traveller had several offers of MARI
age, which it may not be necessary
to observe, he declined, and one
generous chief desired him TO marry
all the manageable women-num-
bering over eight hundred-of the
tribe. One of the principal orna-
ments of dress among the Pans is
the human skull, which they form
into various kinds of trinkets for
the adOrnment of their wardrobe,
which is nothing to 'brag of These
gentle wife eaters do not confne
their cuisine to dishes composed of
the late lamented partners of their
bOsoms, however. They delight III
the savory and oleagenous flesh of
the elephant. M. du Chaillu says
that on one occasion he boiled {
piece Of an elephant twelve hours
Not being able then to get his teetl
through the tough meat, he subject
ed the fragment to another twelve
hours boiling, after which he sue
ceeded in making a meal of it. al
though invited to Cannibalize on a
roast consisting of the deceased
wife of one of the mourning Pans,
he most respectfully begged leave
to fOrego the enjoyment of the lux
ury.
