The Last of the CannibaIs,


Taraia, who has just died at Upper
Thames, was one of the last of the old
cannibals, and was the last who perpe-
trated cannibalism in New Zealand after
colonization of the country, and after the
founding of the city of Auckland. He
completely routed the Tauranga people
and killed great numbers, bringing away
a large quantity Of human flesh which
he first took to Kauwacranga, a large
place situated on the present site of
Shorthand. Here tba war party landed
and, after relieving their feeling by in
dulging in was dance. they resplenished
their stomachs las soon as the hangis
were ready with portion of their once
live cargo. After sticking several heads
on the highest poles Of the fence, thev
once more embarked in their canoes and
started for TIE Puru which was then
large settlement of Taraia's tribe. A
basket Of the flesh was sent as a present
to TIE Horeta commonly known to En-
ropeans as Hook. nose,) but this chief
declined to accept it, saying that he had
given up such dark practices Taraia
was from his youngest days famed as
warrior. and was fortunate enough TO
MAINTAIN his standing as such to the
last.-,Sa Francisco Call, Aprtl2e.

ORIGIN OF THE SMALL POX.-The
curious theory is pronounced by a ply
sician in Germany that small pox origi-
mates from an excess of albuminous mat
ter in the blood, and that this is to be
pre- vented by the administration of COM
mon salt. The habit Of children indul-
ging over freely in sweetmeats, he con-
siders one great csuse of this undue
development of albumen, and coffee and
tea, if highly sugared, tend also to excite
it in adults. An organic acid, such as
lemon juice, he considers the best means
of freeing the blood when clogged UP
with too much albuman and he alleges
that by taking these simple remedies,
in the way of precaution, he has, fol
upwards twelve years past, frequented o.
taken up his abode in the most pestilen
tial small pox hospitals in Europe and
South America with entire impunity

day In . very forclble manner. The

evening. and was remarkable for the
cool and deliberate name In which
the robbers did their work. As related
to US by an eyewitness, 1t appears that
at about 7o'clock r. N. the Palisade
stage had reached a point about two
miles this side Of StonehiM Station,
near Mineral Hill; the driver discov-
cred some susplciouslooking objects
ahead. and. fearing stage robbsrA en-
deayored to turn his team, bat was
unable to do 50 Oh account Of the deep
ruts In the road. Four mAsked men
appeared, and In complianee with tho
customary request, the driver handed
down the treasure box 70 one OF the
party, while the remainder ordered
out the passengers and leisurely pro-
ceeded to "go through" them. The
unfortunate male portion Of the pas
sengers, six In number, wero ordered
to lie upon their faces on the ground,
which order they wore induced, from
the close proximity Of several small
cannon, to obey. The expedition and
