were but two courses open to the colored men.
One was for them to defend their homes when

Cannibals in New Caledonia.

A Noumea correspondent gives the
following particulars of the murder of
eleven men in New Caledonia The
place thrills with the news that in the
beginning of<this week November 21)
eleven men were added to the list OF
victims. Again has over-confdence in
the black demons been the snare. Three
small coasters were engaged to carry
provisions and ammunition to the mill.
tary force under the command of Col.
Vending, operating against. the rebels
in the north OF Poya, Adie, etc. Among
the eleven men composing the three
crews was man named Marianne,
whose son was killed in the massacre at
M. Houdaille's. This man, 80 far as
perfect acquaintance with their Ian.
guage, manners and customs, was ma
tive himself. He had served for years
as interpreter on any required occasion
through an extensive district and among
many tribes. He seemed, in spite of
the loss of his son, to have scorned the
idea that the blacks would do anything
against him. 1t is stated that he was
warned not to go on shore, and that he
should keep q strict watch.s Both eau
tons seem to have been neglected. The
lamentable fact remains to be told that
the expected provisions not arriving,
search was made, and at the mouth of
the Poya River one pillaged boat was
found, as also were traces of sanguin-
airy fight, evinced by broken oars, with
natives hair adhering. On the borders
of the river, hidden away in the scrub.
we're found provisions, munitions and
six native baskets filled with freshly
cooked human flesh, from which the
bones were extracted also the heads on
poles. Two thousand pounds of Chase
pot rifle cartridges fell into the hands
of the rebels, and these they employed
against the boats of the war steamer
Lamothe Piquet, as they were searching
the river on the 10th. A great many
shots were fired by the Kanaks hiding
in the mangroves which fringe the riv-
ers in New Caledonia. The boats were
struck by five balls, but no one was in
iured. The sailors could only reply by
blind shots, as it were /; for it is impos-
sible for any but the bare-footed, agile
savage to move through these mangrove
swamps, o misstep among the snakelike
roots of which involves sinking to the
neck or deeper in mud-Sidney Morn

Acquiring a Handicraft.

So it appears to me that what you
want is pretty much what I want; and
the practical question is {: How are
you to get what you need, under the
actual limitations and conditions of
life of handicraftsmen in this country !?
I think / shall have the assent both
of the employers of labor and of the
employed as to one of the limitations |;
which is, that no scheme of technical
education is likely to be seriously en-
tertained which will delay tho entrance
of boys into working life, or prevent
them from contributing toward their
own support, as early as they do at
present. Not only do I believe that
any such scheme could not be carried
out, but doubt its desirableness, even
if it were practicable.
The period between childhood and
manhood is full of d faculties and dam
gers, under the most favorable circum-
stances; and even among the well-to-
do, who can afford to surround their
children with the most favorable con-
ditions, examples of a career ruined,
before it has well begun, are but too
frequent. Moreover, those who have
to live by labor must be shaped to Ia
Dor early. The colt that is left at grass
too long makes but sorry draught-
horse, though his way of life does not
bring him within the reach of artificial
temptations. Perhaps the most valu-
able result of all education is the
ability to make yourself do the thing
you have to do, when it ought to be
1nnn w hathnr lil-a - ~ - &c
the first lesson that ought to be learned !;
and. however early mans training
may begin, it is probably the last les
SON that he learns thoroughly.
There is another reason to which /
have already ted, and which I
would reiterate, why any extension of
the time devoted to ordinary school
work is undesirable. In the newly
awakened zeal for education, we run
some risk of forgetting the truth that,
while under-instruction is a bad thing,
over'instruction may possibly be a
worse.
Success in any kind of practical life
is not dependent solely, or indeed
chiefly, upon knowledge. Even in the
learned professions knowledge, alone,
is of less consequence than people are
apt to suppose. And, if much expen-
diture of bodily energy is involved in
the days work, mere knowledge is Of
still less importance WHEN weighed
against the probable cost of its acquire
ment. To do fair days work with
his hands, a man needs, above al
things, health, strength, and the pa
thence and cheerfulness which, if they
do not always accompany these bless
Jugs, can hardly in the nature of things
exist without them: to which we must
add honesty of purpose and pride in
doing what is done well.-POpulW
Science Monthly.
