Soldiers Eaten by CannibaIs.

The London Daily News says: eff
any of us look forward to being eaten
by cannibals, he may wish to be inform
ed how he is likely to be cooked. 1t is
a comfort to know that the savages who
may devour him are by no means de-
void of refinement in their culinary dis
position. Some French soldiers were
lately taken prisoners by the Kanaks,
and one of them was killed and eaten
His comrades describe the process. The
Kanaks first decapitate their victims; q
matter of no small difficulty, consider
ing the bluntless of their hatchets. Ten
to fifteen blows are necessary. The
body is then hung up to a tree by the
feet, and the blood allowed to run out
for an hour. Meanwhile hole a yard
and a half deep and a yard wide is dug
in the ground. The hole is lined with
stones, and then in the midst of them
a great fire is lit. When the wood is
burned.down a little and glows with
heat, it is covered over with more stones
The man is then cleaned out and divided
into pieces about foot long, and the
hands and feet being thrown away as
worthless. The pieces of the man arc
placed on the leaves of large rose tree
peculiar to the tropics. The meat is
surrounded with cocoa nuts, banana, ,and
some other plants noted ffor their deli
cate flavor. The whole is then tied to-
gether firmly the fire is removed from
the pit; the meat is placed in among the
hot stones and carefully covered, = is left
to cook an hour. Women do not par
take of this warriors feast. Men alone
are permitted to enjoy go great an hon
Or and so rare de!icacy.'

How the Great Surgeon Saved the
Life Of the riince Imperial.

Some years since the Imperial Prince
was seriously ILL., Medical men differed
upon the nature of the disease. The
majority of them were of opinion there
was an inflammation of the thigh bone
at the hip-joint. DR.. Nelaton was sum-
moned in consultation. He made di-
agnosis and deduced from it there was
an abcess in the thigh near the hip,joint.
He was alone in his opinion. His argu-
ments failed to convince the other medi-
cal NEIL The decision of the proper
course to adopt involved great respon-
sibllity Were there no abcess and merely
Inflammation of the hip, joint, the knife
would aggravate the Inflammation and
superinduce erysipelas or carries or gan
grene. On the other hand, were no op-
Grafton made, the same results would be
superinduced by the absorption of the
virus from the abscess. DR.. Nelaton
was positively Of his opinion; the En-
peror said to him: "Do you assume all
the responsibilities of the operation ?"
Unquestionably, sire" "Then perform
the operation Chloroform was given
the Imperial Prince. AS soon as insen-
sibility was complete DR.. Nelaton began
his incisions He was not the man to
require the apostrophe Napoleon ad-
dressed I'd DR.. Dubois when the delivery
of Marie Louise drew near: doctor, be
as cool as if your patient was the wife
of a tradesman in the Rue St. Denis"
DR. Nelaton handled the knife as calmly,
quietly, deliberately as If he stood in the
amphitheater of the Hotel de Ia Charlie.
The Emperor, pale and anxious, turned
with knitted brows to the window and
drummed on the panes with his nervous,
restless fingers. AS DR.. Nelaton's knife
drew near to the thigh joint, one of the
surgeons exclaimed: "Ah! you see
there is no abscessr' The Emperor
turned suddenly around, and involunta-
rily laid his hand on DR.. Nelaton's arm,
as if to entreat him to mange wantonly
his son no more. DR.. Nelaton gently
put aside the Emperor's hand, and, with
out losing in the least degree his calm
ness, said: II beg pardon, sire, there is
an abscess." As he spoke he thrust,
with a sure, steady hand, his knife deep
into the thigh, and as he withdrew it the
pus flowed out, and the Imperial Prince
was saved.

WE publish the following theological
curiosity from sermon on the "Beau-
ties of Moral Qualities" preached by
Mr.. Beecher, and published in a late
number of the Plymouth Pulpit:
81 have no overweening attachment
to the church as physical organization
l am rather under the line than over on
that subject. believe that the church
is useful; but I do not believe. that any
particular ichurch on the face of the
globe is ordained by God. ] do not be-
leve that one church is better than an
other, so far as ordinance is concerned
l do not believe there is any pattern
whatsoever laid down in the New Tesla
ment according to which churches should
be organized. | believe that churches
stand on the same ground that common
schools and literary institutions do
They are found to be useful, and to pro-
mote mans growth, and so they are
right. l believe that ordinance, eXtei
nal forms, arc matters of utter indiffer
ence. Baptism is baptism, whether it
be elfusion, sprinlding, or immersion
The Lords Supper, if it be admin stored
by Pope, is good enough if 1t be ad-
mlnistered by priest or minister, it is
good enough; if it be administered by
the head of the faniily,it is good enough
and if there is no one else. to administer
it, and you think 1t your duty 10 admin
ister it yourself, it is just as good. The
Lords Supper belongs 20 every man
that belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ; t.;
and he has just as much right to admin
lister it to himself as to have it admin
istered to him by priest. In regard
to the church, ordinance, and govern
ment, l take the broadest ground and
say, that they are useful, but that rot
one of them is obligatory, as having
warrant in Scripture, and no man can
come to us saying, Thus saith the Lord,
in respect to them. Do you suppose
that is the wedding, when the young man
with his bfushing bride, stands up and
exchange vows? The wedding took
place when they clasped each other, and
said, Thine for life mine for life!"'

TWenty.Seven Gents Worth Of
Married Life.

MafFESu Live.
In Virginia, where the laws fixes the
marriage fee at one d5llar, there is q
Renaissance of couple who many
years ago called on parsen and re-
quested him to marry them
"Where is my fee?' said the function
ary.
The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did SO at once and found the
joint amount to be twenty seven cents.
II can't marry you for that sum-" said
the irate old gentleman.
"A little bit of service will go a long
way" suggested the male applicant
"Ah no." said the parson, "you don't
pay for the size of the pill, but for the
COOL you hope it will do you"
The lass, intent on marriage, began to
weep, but the parson was inexorable, and
the couple turned sadly to depart. Just
then happy thought seemed to strike
the forlorn maiden, and she turned and
cried through her tears.
"Please, sir, ifyou can't marry us full
up, won't you marry US twenty-seven
cents worth; we can come for the rest
some other time"
This was to much for the parson. He
married them "full up," and they went
on their way rejoicing.

Grants Resignation Demanded
by q Loyal Supporter. seer

We clip the following from an article
in a late issue of the Anti-Slavery
Standard, complaining of Grants total
neglect of his official duties:
''Grant recreates excessively. Ra,
tlonal recreation in itself is good, and
sometimes very important. If he abso,
lutely needs, and is likely to continue to
need so much, he ought, in the present
condition of affairs, to resign, that the
country may have, what it very much
needs, President III fact, as well as in
name. No thoughtful observer of the
tendency of affairs during the past six
months, but feels that the pilotless drift
ing of this summer has been toward
dangers with which alittle later it will
be most difficult to grapple. Not only
are cruel and needless burdens imposed
upon the loyal people of the South, but,
while an incompetent President gives
months to the watering places, races and
jaunting. the shrewd diplomatists OF the
old school of rebel politicians, perceiv,
ing their opportunity, are marskaling
their forces, and by fraud and intimida-
ton regaining control of their former
political estates" =,
For once We agree with Wendell
Phillips. Let Grant resign without de
lay, and take Ills itinerant Cabinet with
him Oh as long tramp as possible.

a Garbled Tarin Account.

To the i Iitors of the Evening Post:
That Me-. Greeley should deal in erro
ncohs theories about the tariff, is not
only expected, but easily forgiven; bat
he certainly has no right to garbte sta
tistics and make deliberate misstatc-
ments.
Mr.. Greeley states, for instance. that
the duty on pig iron in 1912 was $40
per ton. The tariff for that year, be-
fore me, gives the duty as only 80, or
not less than 20 per cent. at rolorcns.
Mr.. Greeley, in his table I give below.
puts the duty on castings 30 per cent
This is a deliberate garble. In Ogden's
