MAJOR E. A. RERIS Il.
Iplan1amines Ohsarxar.l

Major Edmund A. Burke, the nominee of
the Democratic Conservative party OF the
State OF Louisiana, is too widely and favor
ably known to the people Of Louisiana for us
to undertake to introduce him to our readers.
The faithful performance of the duties of
Superintendent Of the New Orleans and jack
son Railroad, Superintendent Of Improve
ments, and Tax Collector OF the First District
of New Orleans at different times, has rem
dered his name too popular to be praised
now. He Is admirably fitted for the position
of State Treasurer, apart from his financial
capacities his Judgment is clear, and In that
position the people will be sure to have an
honest, faithful and efficient officer
Although the choice of the parish was for
Major John G. Moncure, of Caddo, we can
safely say that q more competent person than
Major Burke could not have been selected as
the nominee for the position Of Treasurer.
The eminent services rendered by Major
Burke at Washington last winter, in behalf OF
the Nichols government, which were crowned
with success, have served to give him q very
high and deserved position in the esteem OF
all Louisianians, and which have been appro-
ciated by all lovers of good government.

Several subordinate officers Of the govern

Miss Clara Kellogg is still in Paris, and
expects TO sail for New York about the thirty

Among prominent foreigners who arrived
here this week is Prince Mahommed Ben ky,

THE RELIGIOUS RITES OFF THE

mRrkable Reltefs-PFImitive
Marriage Customs.

Tho inhabitants of the mountains back Of
Aux Cages, and, IN fact, nearly all the inte-
rior of Havti and a few in Aux Cages itself,
adhere still to the old African system Of
heathenism called Obiadism. They have their
churches in the mountain Businesses in almost
impenetrabe thickets. where none but their
own kind dare enter. They are the most de-
graded cannibals. Some Of my readers may
be astonisheu to know this, but, nevertheless,
I assure them that such is the fact. AIner-
cans are engaged In missionary work in China
and Japan, but in this country, so much
nearer home, where actual cannlbals exist
even in one Of it's largest cities, this work
has been sadly neglected. These people do
not eat adults, but children, which are con-
stantly stolen for the purpose Last evening, In
the same street where | am stopping, poor
woman went out to neighborfng shop for
moment and left her child asleep. When she
returned it was gone; stolen by an Obiad for
sacrifice, I am told that the manner in which
these people operate is this For instance
at each service in temple the priest allots to

these fiends in procuring victims. one OF the
most common is the use of q certain plant
which grows here, the secret Of which Is
known only to these Obads One Of the
| women will come into the city selling cachOu-
nuts or something of that sort, and as soon as
she sees nice fat child she will manage in
some way to embrace it, at the same time
taking its hand in hers, which has previously
been rubbed with the juice of the plant. In q
few hours the child apparently dies, and the
parents wonder as to The cause of its death. 1t
is buried, and the same night these people will
come and dig it up and carry it off into the
mountains, and there apply the juice of an
other plant, which arOuses it from the stupOr
produced by the other plant, and it becomes
as well as ever, and is sacrificed A story is
told here, and vouched for even by the foreign
merchants here of child which died In this

first minister OF tho Council, and several Of
his colleagues. In the evening he dined with
the Countess and Mrs. Grant at Posts. On
the twentieth he had On audience with his
Imperial Majesty Francis Joseph nt the lovely
palace Of SchOenbrunn, spending the re-
mainder Of the day driving about the impe-
rial grounds and forests, and visiting points
of interest in that romantic and historic

How the Poor are Buried I'm Naples.

A fitting .fnis to the career Of the Neapolf-
tan poor is the method of their burial In the
Campo Santo Vecchio. In death, as in life,
they are herded together. A bare, paved
spaced, inclosed by wall; 365 stones cover
ing as many pits, of which one is opened each
day for the reception of the dead; q movable
crane, with a metal coffin suspended by a
chain. Such is the set-scene, such the proper
ties Of the last act of the tragedy! Every
evening at 6 80 o'clock one Of the awful holes
is opened; the corpses brought for interment
are hauled with indecent roughness from
their pauper shells; the priest sprinkles them
with holy water, and hurriedly gabbles the
prayer fOr the dead Bn taU1 III lis tttfrf1 Is
thrown into the box attached to the crane;
the bottom of the box gives way on the
down to join the heap of corruption below.
Laughing boys and weeping mourners press
to the pits edge to gaze at the CHASTITY sight;
the creaking OF the MACHINE mngles with cries
of despair A crowd of lookers-on eagerly note
the number Of the dead, their sex and age, in
order to choose lucky numbers for the lottery.
