Cnnnihnls All tIc Astor Honse.

p. T. Barnum the veteran Snowman Of
the U. S. has created sensation in New
York by importing few cannibals. A few
& days ago a private exhibition was given
at the Astor House to party of editors and
reporters. A New York paper gives the
following account of the affair."
p. T. Barnum gave, yesterday, at the
AstOr House, to about 100 editors, ministers,
missionaries and correspondents, &C., a
private exhibition of the cannibals lie OBJ
tained from the Fiji Islands. There were
three MAIDSTONE a dwarf-and n woman
called princess. The princess was in ap-
pearance the same as an ordinary colored
woman, with hair In Circassienne. She
accompanied the dancers OH three sticks
called Il drum. She kept excellent time
Various dances were INDUCED in for the
benefit of the critics assembled-a fan
dance, challenge dance, festive dance, war
dance and one in honor of the king. They
were half naked, with thongs of hairaround
their limbs, pieces of native cloth, made
from kind of pulp from the Papuan null
berry, which hung from belt on their
waists. The dark olve-colored skins were
savagely decorated with war paint, of the
most approved cannibal order, and they
wore around their necks curious neck
lace of human bones and whale teeth, Civ
ing them truly savage aspect. The prin-
cess read from the Fiji Bible, and appeared
to be quite intelligent. We believe these
are the first cannibals which were ever
brought to the United States, especially un-
der these peculiar circumstances, and they
cannot fail to be a very attractive and in
tcresting feature of the great Snowman S
travelling exhibition.
Otavah, the princess, is fair specimen
of FIJI woman redeemed from cannibal-
ism by the missionaries. Kena Bosa Yaca,
Kola Tumasamora and General Ra Biau,
the three captives, are wild uncultivated
savages. They were securedby Mr.. Barn
INNS agents in Fiji, who paid large sum
Tor three years use of them, and also gave
bonds in $4,000 through the United States
Consul at Leyauka, the Hon. j. w. Brauer,
for their safe return to King Thockambau,
at NaViti Levu, at the expiration of that
time. As they would be speedily remand
ad to their carnivorous prosecutors immedi-
ately on their return, to be eaten alive by
piecc-meal, according to the custom of the
Cannibal Islands, it need hardly be heces-
sary to add that the philanthropic show
man, now turned missionary in earnest,
will never allow these poor fellows to return,
prefering TO forfeit his bonds instead. All
the spectators were deeply interested in
their strange performances.
