MODEOF COOKING MEN.

In giving an account of the eating of
French soldier by cannibals, the London
NelCS says:
eff any one of us looks forward TO be-
ing eaten by cannibals, he may wish to
be informed how he is likely to be cooked.
1t is comfort to know that the savages
who may devour him are by no means de-
void of refinement in culinary disposition.
Some French soldiers were recently taken
prisoners by the Kanaks, and one of them
was killed and eaten. His comrades de-
scribed the process. The Kanaks first de-
capitatc their victim; a matter of no
small difficulty considering the bluntness
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 a hole a yard and a
half deep and 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 CLOVIS with heat it is covered
with more stones. The man is then clean
ed out and divided into pieces about a
foot long, and hands and feet being
thrown away as worthless The pieces
of the man are placed on the leaves of a
large rose tree peculiar to the tropics.
The meat is surrounded with cocoanut,
banana, and some other plants noted for
their delicious flavor. The whole is tied
together firmly; the fire is then removed
from the pit; the meat is placed emong
the hot stones, and thus, carefully Sover-
ed, is left to cook for an hour. Women
don't partake of the warriors feast. Men
alone are permitted TO enjoy so great an
honor and so rare a delicacy.n

SUMMER SNOW,
BIZ MISS MoLLIz Z. MOORE.


Aline, Aline, the prairie wears
Its yearly fall Of Summer Snow,
For white upon their slender stalks
The milk-weed blossoms blow,
They hide the grassy plots again
Where quails lie low and whistle sweet,
And again stray forth TO watch
The coming Of your feet.
The faithful clouds above stoOp low
With far-od blue-like mist between =
Your hair WAS like a shower of gold
That summer day, Aline;
The sweet lOve-lOok was in your eyes,
A love smile on your lips below,
As down the winding path you came
Knee-deep in Summer Snowl
I, with a mah's impotence chafed
To mark your woman step, that stayed
at every turn to hear the cries
The nesting partridge madei
feel the old impotence rise,
hear the birds whirr to and fro,
see the brown path winding still
Through drifts Of Summer Snow.
When will this trick Of watching cease?
Full thirty years since then have been,
But still, wheneer the milk-weed blooms,
watch for you, Aline;
half forgot the distant grave
That Northern violets cover so,
Where thirty seasons you have lain
Breast-deep in Winter Snowl

in the prisoners box, and a negress on the

ed of being accessory to a rape on n col
ored oman, and was sent to State prison
for life. At a political meeting here a
few nights since, one of the candidates,
a white, in the excess of his Radicalism,
invited the whole party out TO drink, say
ing: by Cd, you must all go and
ali drink before me. ] will gladly drink
out of the same tumbler-after you He
was most Tighteously rebuked by an aged
darkey, who, in reply, said that the day

influence the colored men, and that if

he had best go home. "

Gentlemen-This is to certify that have been for
years a sufferer, and tried all the tonics l ever
from any of them. heard your Hurley Bitters
highly spoken of, and tried a bottle, with little
faith in it before 1 commenced, and to my sur
prise and JOY, before finished one bottle, felt a
great deal better and firmly believe that one or
two occasions it was the means Of saving and pro-
longing my life. l conscientiously recommend
them to all sufferers the best bitters known, and
advise them to always ask for DR.. I. A Hurleys,
and have no other. You can use this as you think
proper, if it will benefit others.
Yours, truly, etc, JOHN W. DIXON.
