A story has reached Boston that two
vessels from that port and British
vessel have been captured in the South
Seas by the savages, and their crews
devoured by the cannibals. A year
ago last February the bark Jewess, OF
Boston, 500 tons burthen, and Captain
Mayo, of Chelsea, in command, sailed
from New South Wales, in the direct
ion OF the Auckland Islands. A few
days later the Boston bark Della M.
Long, aud q British bark, name un-
known, followed in the same course.
This was the last ever heard of either
of the vessels, until recently, when the
captain of the American brig Mara
thon found a sailor nj port in the
South Sea who said he was the sole
survivor of the crews OF the three ves-
sells named. They had been becalmed
near the Auckland Islands, and laid
there together several days. They
were boarded at night by cannibals,
who camo in large numbers, overpow-
cred the crews. plundered tho ships,
and scuttled them.
The men were carried prisoners to
the shore and furnished food for the
horrible feast OF their captors. No
particulars OF the fight or Of the survi-
vor's escape we're obtained, but tho
facts are pretty well authenticated, aud
the long absence Of the ships furnish
good grounds for believing that the
story may be true.
The sailor said the surprise was COM
plete, the vessels being some distance
from land, and no signs OF enemies
having been seen. The usual precau-
tions taken when a ship is becalmed in
the vicinity OF land inhabited by saw
ages is TO drive sharp nails, placed
closely together, through boards,
which are placed over the decks, and
fastened firmly down, leaving the
sharp iron points sticking mp. IL ID

ages TO step upon the deck, and they
are shot off at leisure. This prccau.
tion was not taken on board the Jew.

ger was suspected IL is understood

Is now stationed in the South Seas
or within reasonable distance OF the
vicinity where the terrible tragedy IL
credited as having been enacted.

A REMININIscENcE OF SECRETARY
SrASroN.-In the third year of the war
when flags were being placed over the
and in many cities west and south,
whose members were supposed to be
disloyal, house erected by Southern
Methodists in Washington was dedica-
ted. A minister Of another denomina-
ton alone could be found to accept the
service. As he approached the porch
the flag was seen drapsd over the door.
He deemed il his duty to maintain the
principle OF church and state. Turning
to the company assembled, that duty
forbade his officiating on the occasion;
and his reasons would be given to the
secretary Of war. Amid great excite
ment both Of the suspected church and
OF army officials present, he returned
home, and addressed note to the Sec
retary, stating three reasons for his
postponing the services; first that
neither the church members nor the
excited crowd were in frame of mind
to dedicate sanctuary to God; that
there was place to test loyalty, but
that the sanctuary was not the place.
since he who mistook patriotism for
pioty, might mistake self-interest for
patriotism; and, third tl,at the suspic-
ion expressed by the flag was stain on
the Christian character, tested for
years, which must be removed before
they could be recognized by a minister
OF another denomination. With his
characteristic vehemence the secretary
exclaimed, as the note was read 10 him

A series Of revival meetings were be-
gun last evening at the Clermont Ayen-
ne Universalist church in Brooklyn.
The pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Nye, stated
that the object Of the meeting was to
deepen the religious life Of their peo-
pie. "Our souls" he said, confess
our need Of Him, and Of His help and
goodness in our last hours. We would
draw near TO God that He may draw
10 us. We confess that we want moro
OF the fervor Of the spirit OF Christ In
our hearts. BY our own methods, and

and convert men. not TO any doctrine
or creed, but TO the principles Of reli.
gious faith. In these meetings we pro-
pose 10 take up certain topics for the
consideration Of our people. and foi
those others who may care TO listen.
Other addresses were made by the Rev
