THD ISLES OF THE BLEST.
Lands which white Mans Foot Has
Never TrOd.
From the London Times


From the London Times.
The cruisers engaged in watching the
expectation of laborers from islands oI
the South Pacific ocean fell in with
strange places and strange people At
New Hanover, Capt. Simpson, of her
majesty's ship Blanche, found men and
women very much in state OF nature !;
he thinks that they had neger before
been visited by white men. They were
ignorant of the use of tobacco, and any
old pieces of paper were taken by them
in preference to the usual trade articles
Both men and women came along in
great numbers, and showed no fear.
They had little or nothing for barter,
except spears. They Appeared good
humored, but are arrant thieves. A
party of officers landed, and except that
their pockets were picked, we're in no
way molested. Capt. Simpson, VIXEN
off the dDast of New Britain, took an
opportunity of perpetuating his name
and that of his ship. He found two
spacious bays or harbors with good an
chorage, land locked, and sheltered
from all winds. One, which he has
called Blanche bay, has been formed by
the upheaving of three volcanic noun
tains called the Mother and Daughters;
the lava poured down in past ages has
formed two points which he mentions
at Point Sulphur and Point Bridges
Simpson Harbor, about five miles long
and three wide, lies between Point
Pleasant and the main land; he believes
there is space, with from twenty to
twenty-five fathoms Of water, for the
navies of the world to anchor in.
About mile south from Point
Bridges, with deep water round them,
are two remarkable sandstone rocks,
both standing on the same base, which
is about quarter of mile in circum.
ference, and edged with coral, the gap
between them being covered by few
feet of water. The largest of these
rocks is sixty or seventy yards in cir
cumfererce, and rises perpendicularly
to hight of nearly two hundred feet,
and though there is not vestige of soil
upon it, stunted trees cling here and
there to its perpendicular sides, and on
the small platform at its base there are
a few cocoanut trees. But the most re-
mdIhdOlC JhluR tldJ ID SiuStSICu On buC
narrow ledge which surrounds these
rocks and which is partly under
water, is a village containing about two
hundred inhabitants, who evidently
support themselves by fishing Many
of these houses are built in the water on
piles. They had numerous canoes
moored around them. Capt Simpson
has named those rocks the Beehiyes.
They form an additional protection to
Simpson Harbor. He found in the Nj
garik group of islands only one inhabit-
cd, and the people have short history.
There are about hundred of them, and
no less than sixty are children. The
people say that about forty years ago
captain from Sydney took the island and
destroyed the inhabitants, or nearly
every soul some years after that man
named Paddy came with some natives of
Ponope island and settled there, claim
ing the island as his own, aud the pop
ulation has since rapidly increased.
What became of Paddy is not stated.

Marshal de sIacMahon.

The Paris Sport gives the following
particulars concerning Marshal de Mac
Mahon
Grand Seigneur by right of birth
Marshal of France by right of conquest !
President of the sRepublic by devoted
ness! His name is popular and his
person will be legendary About half a
century ago an old Count de MacMa-
hon inhabited toe Chateau of Saint Max
which is still seen at about quarter of
league from Nancy on the road to
Marsal The house, surmounted by a
lofty roof, is half concealed by trees, and
situated half way up hill, it overlooks
the ancient capital Of Lorraine. The
Count died in this sort of castle. Having
three nephews, he bequeathed to the eld
est his domains, to the second his nova
BILE property, and TO the third, as sole leg
acy, an old family sword, half eaten up
with rust. The disinherited nephew
was Patrick de MacMahon, now Marshal
of France and President of the Republic.
Such Frenehmen as have had the afflic-
tion to revisit the conquered portion of
the country, and of pausing, full Of emo
ton, on the battle field of Reichsholfen,
may have observed the great homage
paid to the Marshal by his enc
mics. To solitary tree, which was on
the day Of combat a mark for the Ger
man artillery, is attached placard on
which are read these words:
Here Marshal de MacMahon main
tanned himself during the battle. All
persons are forbidden to touch this tree,
its branches or its leaves
This inscription, pious in thought
and simple in form, is perhaps the most
glorious trophy of the President. The
valor of the soldier dominates his de-
feat, and the victors bowed themselves
to the vanquished.
Then adverting to the private habits
Of the Marshal, our cotemporary says:
The Duke de Magenta shoots and
rides as ii he were only twenty i've years
Of age and probably the active life
which he leads has prolonged his vigor
beyond the ordinary limits. One of the
salient features of his character is an
excessive modes;y; the hero, so intrepid
under fire, appears somewhat timid in a
drawing-rOom, but that quality is not
without its charm for gentleness, COM
bined with force, renders his prestige all
the greater. Marshal de MacMahon has
borne arms and command under five diff
ferent governments without betrayihg
one of them, for the simple reason that
be has never served anything but his
country"

A new method of killing horned eat
tie has been introduced in Europe,
which, i ia said. largely reduces the
possibility Of inficting unnecessary tor
ture upon the animals. An iron mask,
like continuous blinker, is placed on
the bullock's head, so arranged as to
close the animals vision, and to make a
hole or socket ia the middle of the
mask corresponding to the spot in the
seEi2T Gf the forehead whereon blow
Immediately causes iusensibility. A
hollow nail of peculiar form, made to
fit the socket, aud having a large head,
is then readily slipped in its place, and

First-Groat decrease In the dcstructiyonoss

tsecond-Rcstorod confidence at tie East In

The plan requires but moderate ontlay Of
mouey anl III iulorscd by many OF tho best
men ia tho city. Our o1-1fayor Medill, wlioao
solid common Sense everybody recognizes, says,
in lettor to tho Hon. ". i. Coolbaugh, The
viz, to compel tho ownor Of each wooden building
to ictose with brick and cement tilo cover its
roof under penalty Of no further insurance on
tho structure or its contontB." Mr. Mcdills plan
could bo modified by building such wall at, say,
overy fourth building in u range, which would
not bo unnecessarily severe, and would anbwer
tho purposes Of safety. Dir. Medill il in error,
however, In aupposing tho insurance companies
eau control this matter. Ihoy con In theory, but
they cnnnot in practice. II companies should
combine for the purpose The cry Of monopoly,
"rlugs," aud oppression would DO raised, and
certain Of your contemporaries would bo likely to
devote to tho companies column or two about
;" insurance insolonco." And, beside that, there
arc always enough of tho wildcat aud under
ground companion who always decline to COM
Dino in any movement, however bcne1cent it's
object, aud who wouM thus fruatrato any schono
Of that kind. Tho city should do the work, and,
II necessary, raiso tho funds needed by loan or
special tax, No practical man who will coii-
Bidor tho scheme can doubt its feasibility. And
il our Common Council will vote tile prosecution
Of the plan they will deserve the gratitude Of tho
ontira city. T. u. G.
