Premature Burial.
terrible story, reported from Agen, and attested
both by a doctor and by the Directeur des POmpes
Funebres, shows that fears of premature burial in
France are not unfounded, in consequence OF the
law commanding interment within twenty-folr
hours after death. young lady of Agen died about
year ago, and was buried in the cemetery Of Sante
Fol. A few days since her mother also expired,
having before her death expressed wish to repose
in the same coflin with her daughter A large comm
was accordingly constructed TO contain the two
corpses, and the body Of the young lady was eX-
humed. 1t was then discovered that her winding
sheet had been torn open, and the right hand which
was disengaged from its folds, was deeply marked
with bites. On the lid Of the coffin were some marks
made by the cruchX which lay on her breast, and
that the unfortunate young lady had been victim
to the horrors Of premature burial. Intense excite
ment prevails in the neighoorhood, and an onlcial
inquiry is to be made on the subject.
Soldiers Eaten by Cannibals.
The London Daily Necs says:-
'If any Of US look forward to being eaten by can
nibals, he may wish to be informed how he slkely
to be cooked. 1t is a comfort to know that the
sayages who may devour him are by no means de-
void OF refinement in their culinary disposition.
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 victim; matter of no small
difficulty considering the bluntness of their
hatchets. Ten to fifteen blows are necessary.
The body is then hung up to tree by the feet, and
/! the blood allowed to run out for an hour Mean
while hole yard and half deep and yard
wide is dug in the ground The hole is lined with
stones, and then in the midst of them great fire is
lit. When the wood is burned down little ana
gows with heat, it is covered over with stones.
The man is then cleaned out and divided into pieces
about foot long, the hands and feet being thrown
away as worthless. The pieces of the man are
placed on the leaves of large rose tree peculiar to
the tropics. The meat is surrounded with cocoa
nuts, bananas and some other plants noted for their
delicate flavor. The whole Is then tied together
firmly; the fire is removed from the pit; the meat is
placed in among the not stones and thus, carefully
covered, is LETT to COOK for an hour Women do not
partake Of this warriors feast. Men alone are per-
mitted to enjoy so great an honor and so rare de-
lcacy."
