Cannibals in South America.

The Panama Star and Herald prints
the following: A curious story comes 10
us, upon the authority OF the pre-. ect of
the district of Csqueta, in the state OF
Cauca, and on the borders OF the Brazil
ian empire, of hOstilities between savage
Indian tribes, which are marked by the
atrocities common to central Africa, OF
the islands of the south sea. On the
desolate lands of the lower part of the
river Caqueta live two tribes of Indians
the Huitotes and Guaques - between
whom appears to be an endless teud.
They seem to exist but to destroy and
annihilate each other. The tribes of the
Guaques are yeritable cannibals, so tar
as the Huitotes are concerned. They
hunt them as they would wild beasts,
with the object Of making prisoners,
and then sell as slaves in the Brazilian
territory, or reserve for their horrible
feasts.
The frightful orgies practiced at these
barbaric rites are described by gentle
man named Guzman, Colombian, who,
for commercial purposes, visited the
country inhabited by these tribes. The
buildings or temples in which the vic
tins are sacrificed are thirteen meters
square, with several doors on either side,
and which will accommodate about forty
individuals. The victim selected is led
by the hand by a chief several times
up and down before the assembled say.
ages Amid shouts and laughter, the
trembling captive is obliged to pass out
and IN through the various doors, and al
last is allowed to remain standing for 6
few moments in the center of the build
ing, in the midst of his savage destroy
ers. Then, without word of warning
the savage chief attacks the helples

How a Clever Attempt At SmRggling
was Detected.
New ork Star,


A new and somewhat novel mode oil
smuggling has been discovered. On the
arrival of the steamer Silesia from Ham-
burg, at her dock. she was boarded by
her usual number of custem-hOuse in
spectors under deputy surveyor hibbe,
who at once proceeded to take the bag
gage'declarations of the cabin passengers
While thus engaged richly-attired lady
presented her card to Mr.. Kibbe, one OF
the inspectors, and asked permission to
60 on board. She stated that her broth.
er, Alfred A. Sohn, was among the pas
sengers. Suspecting nothing wrong, the
Official granted the lady's request, and
she quickly disappeared into the cabin
After a stay OF about half an hour the
lady reappeared. Sac wore long, far
lined silk circular, which she did not
bring on board with her. The inspect>
ors aecosted her and invited her to be
searched. She was indignant. A thor
ough search of her clothing was made.
Upon her were found twenty>three yards
OF black silk, three and a halt dozen
pairs of kid gloves, one roll of light silk,
thirty napkins, four pieces of elk hose,
forty-fve pairs of merino hose, and five
valuable highly ornamented meerschaum
pipes, and one cigar-holder. The lady
reluctantly gave her name as Mrs. NJ.
Lautertach, of No. 167 East Sixty-ffth
street. Duputy-Surveyor Kibbe then
gave his attention to her brother, and
wss well rewarded. In trunks which
Mr.. Sohn claimed as his property the
following articles were found: Five
table cloths, one dozen handkerchiefs,
FIVE table covers, 500 cigars, and qnan-
tity of miscellaneous articles of first
class manufacture.

Tanning RcSsia Leather.

A correspondent of the London Times,
st St. Petersburg, states that in prepsr.
ing the famous Russian leather for book
binding, the hides to be tanned are first
laid to soak for three days and nights in
a solution of potash to which some quick
lime has been sdded. The potash used
is made OF the tree called in Russia linn,
the elm it is not purified, SO that it is
of brown color and earthly appearance
about twelve pools OF this, each pood
being equal to thirty-six English pounds,
and two pods of lime for one hundred
skins. By means Of their tongues, when
the elasticity Of the slkali is found weak,
a longer solution is allowed. When the
skins are taken out, they are taken to
the river and left under water for q day
and night. Next a vedro of dogs dung
is boiled in as much water as will soak
6fty skins, the latter being pat into this
solution when it is at the heat which the

The RIessinR Of StronR Nerves

Is recoverable, not by the use of mineral
sedatives but bya recourse to effectual tonic
treatment. Opiates and the like should only
be used as auxiliaries, and then as sparingly
as possible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones,
and the most direct way to render them so
is to reinforce the vital energies. That ster-
ling invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
will be found all>sufficient for this purpOse,
since it entirely removes impediments to
thorough digestion and assimilation of the
food, so that the BODY is insured its due
amount of nourishment, and consequently
of stamina. Rheumatic tendencies and sf>
feetions of the kidneys and bladder are also
counteracted by the bitters, which is besides a
pleasant medicinal stimulsnt, infinitely purer
than the law excitants of commerce, which
react injuriously upon the nervous system.

An Ingenious Night Lamp.

A recent number OF the Paris La Ma
ture describes a simple and convenient
night lamp, the invention of NJ. Behu,
indicating the hour by the extent OF COM
bustion OF the oil. From the oil reser-
voir rise two vertical glass tubes; one
contains oil and is graduated for the
hours; the other contains the wick satu-
rated with oil, and giving the light. The
construction is such that one hour is re-
quired to consume the quantity of oil
between the two graduatiens of the first
mentioned tube. A reflector placed
under the fame at the side throws q
luminous beam Scross the graduated
tube. During the night one can thus
see at what height the oil stands in the
tube and read the corresponding hour.

To be of permanent benefit a medicine
must reach the source of the disease. The rea-
son why Scovill's Blood and Liver Syrup is so
successful in overcoming scrOfulOus, syphil.
lite and eruptive complaints is that it entirely
roots out those impurities which give rise to
them. The cause of the evil being thus re.
moved and the normal purity of the circula-
ton restored, the skin resumes its original
