ing on the Goals the flesh Of her husband,

ing on the Goals the flesh of her husband,
and elsewhere company were making q
repast upon the roasted limb of a dead
companion. All filial and parental sffec.
tion seemed dead, the one instinct of
sef-preservation reigning supreme.
Rapidly some of those most wretched
creatures were being transformed into
ghouls and demons, having already lost
many of tho divine traits of humanity
Haggard and attenuated, they spoke but
little, while their looks and demeanor
were wild and unearthly. Too incredi-
ble for belief are the stories told of the
ravenous greed exhibited by some Of
these starving wretchcs, ono of whom is
said to have eaten the entire body of q
child during the course of n single night;
while another insisted on appropriating
to his own use the hearts and other visce-
ra of his dead companions. On the
other hand, many refused to touch tho
flesh of those who had perished until the
very last, and then partook of it sparing-
ly, and with evident feelings of horror. "
Thirty-six Of the company had perish
ed, and many of the remainder were on
the point Of doing so. Amid devasta-
ton aud WOO, there were CLEANS of hero
ism that almost seemed needful to show
that these afflicted souls shared COM
mon humanity. Donner, the leader,
WAS too fnr reduced to be taken forward
by the rescuing party. His vito had hor
choice to be saved with her children or
to stay behind and die with her husband.
With wonderful fortitude and devotion,
and in spite of his earnest entrcu.ies,
sho chose the latter. Another man, one
Keisburgh, was also too weak to he re-
moved. The rest we're taken in safety to
California. LII tho following April, an
other small party repaired to Donncr's S
Lake, TO see if by chance either of those
left behind yet survived. They found
Kcisburgh living, lie having subsistcd
for several weeks upon the body of Mrs.
Donncr, who had died soon after her
husband. The story is almost too shock
ing to bo repeated; but rs remarkable
and trust worthy instance of the behu-
vior of mankind, under the most trying
circumstances Of which it is possible to
conceive, the narrative has an interest
and Importance that Justify it's recital
and preservation.

be maintained. Opportunely, as though
designed by Providence, the completion
of the Pacific Railroad ut almost the
same time, has placed the country within
reach of an inexhaustible supply of the
cheapest labor on the face of the earth
thus precipitating the issue with the real
and imminent danger of labor revolu-
ton. Upon the question of Chinese
immigration, therefore, the first great
campaign of long and bitter contest is
to begin.
This is to be the dawn of the great in
evitable strife Lord MIacaulay prophe-
sled quarter of o century ago, as likely
to test not only the stability of our in
stitutions, but our political faith and
existence. Free labor is only the key to
free trade, and long ere the fate of the
pig-tail is decided, both principles will
be written in the samo party gospel.
This, then, is to be the bone of conten-
ton in future elections. On tho one
hand will be arrayed all the manufactur-
