The POlynesian Outrages.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch |

The horrible cruelties that have been
practiced upon the Polynesians for the past
two or three years by slave dealers have
resulted at last in a massacre of the resi-
dents OF Tanna a settlement in one of the
group of islands. A traveller, who has re-
Gently returned from the westward declares
that the slave kidnappers of the Pacific are,
If possible, more brutal than were their fel-
lows OF the African coast. According to the
statement of this gentleman, from fifteen to
twenty vessels have been constantly en-
plcyed for more than two years in carrying
Oft PUlynesians to cultivate cotton in Fiji.
Queensland and Tabit. The kidnappers
start from their ships at midnight and land
in squads Of twenty and thirty each. They
are armed to the teeth, and make their ex-
cursions with great caution until they ap-
proach near enough to the huts Of their vic
tins. Brands are then applied to the light
infamma ble roofs, and in the confusion that
follows the poor scared creatures are borne
down upon and handcutfeth When they
offer much resistance the brutes knock ont
their brains with gunstocks, and drive their
women screaming to the boats. Up to
within few years from the period of the
discovery of the Polynesian islands, Euro
peans have been treated with great kind

and again. exhausted their store of Gu

different points south of the Equator. Lat
terly they have not only discontinued these
friendly advances, but have become aggres

hunted like wild beasts. We know how
often our own settlers have had to suffer
for outrages committed upon the Indians by
white border murderers. But the outrages
upon the poor Polynesians are Of totally

Hon. n. P. Langford. of Montana, the
leader Of the famous Yellowston expedi-
ton of last year. is now in Washington,
and, in connection with Professor HAYDEN,
who had charge of the government expedi-
ton Of this year, is engaged in promoting
the project of declaring all that district. in
cluding the canon of the Yellowstone, the
hot springs and the geysers government
reservation, for the purpose Of holding it
forever as Il national park. Copies of the
May and June numbers of .Scribucr's Month";
ly. containing Langfords graphic story Of
The Wonders of the Yellowstone have
been furnished to every member of Con
gress. Professor Hayden has prepared an
article for the February number Of Serb
ner's, in which he confirms Langford's ac-
count. describes additional marvels discov
cred by himself, and takes strong ground
in favor Of the park project. Such park
will, in time, attract to it crowds of the
pleasure seekers and scientists of Europe.
1t is not only remarkable for its scenery,
but in a scientific point of view is said to
be ''the most marvellous region on the face
of the earth" The illustrations, which are
to appear in the February number of Scrib-
,aer, are from photographs taken by the re.
