TORTURE OF THE WIDOWS.

In the interior of New Caledonia,
which is east Of Vancouver's Island
and north of Columbia, among the
ribe called "Taw-wa-t tins" who are
also Babines, and also among other
tribes in their neighborhood, the
custom prevails of burning bodies.
with circumstances of peculiar
barbarity to the widows of the
deceased. The dead body of the
husband is laid naked upon large
heap of resinous wood, his wife is
then placed upon the Body and
covered with q skin; the pile is
then lighted, and the poor woman
is compelled to remain until she is
nearly suffocated, when she is
allowed to descend as best she can
through the smoke and flames. No
sooner, however, does she reach the
ground, than she is expected to-
prevent the body from b ,coming
distorted by the action of tae fire
on the muscle and sinews; and
whenever such an event takes place,
she must, with bare hands, restore
che burning corpse to it's proper
position; her person being the
whole time exposed to the scorch-
ing effects of the intense heat.
Should she fail in the due perform
ance of this Indispensable rite,
from weakness or the intensity of
her pain, she is held up by some one
until the body is consumed. A
continual singing and beating Of
drums are kept up throughout the
ceremony, which drown her cries.
Afterwards she must collect the
unconsumed pieces of bone and
ashes, and put them in bag made
for the purpose, which she has to
carry on her back for three years /;
remaining for the time slave to
her husbands relations, and being
neither allowed to wash nor comb
herself for the whole time, SO that
she soon becomes a most disgusting
object. At the expiration of the
three years, feast is given by her
tormentors, who invite all the
friends and relations of her and
themselves.

TOTAL ABSTISESCE Swing WINE TILL IT
RIpESS,

There is n curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market DR.. Undcrhill the well-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, end sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It's only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
of the estate and the sale Of the wines on
hand. Among these is wine of the vintage
of 1864, described rs a Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mcllowness are
fancicrs have a special interest in it as the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is In the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-N. Y, Tribune,
NoO. Io. IS77.
