4 Hanchback's Industry.
New York World.

A queer hunchback has just died at
Rue Culver, Paris, at a comparatively
advanced age, who, being rich, healthy,
and unmarried, spent his life in travel
ing and collecting statistics on the sub
ject Of people deformed like himself.
He left a vOluminous manuscript con-
tanning The fruit of his researches. He
found hunchbacks most abundant in
Spain, instancing small hamlet in the
Sierra Morena, where every thirteenth
inhabitant was humpbacked; next to
this he found the deformity most fire.
quent in the basin Of the Loire. One
person in a thousand was, he estimated,
hunchbacked, hence, he arrived at the
conclusion that there were 100000
hunchbacks in the world whose humps
averaging twenty centimeters, or about
eight inches each-would, if placed one
above the other, make pile 100000
metres nigh, or, as he placed it, as high
as "ten Cordilleras, plus twenty-five
Mont Blancs, plus all the pyramids,
plus all the spires Of all the cathedrals
in Europe" He formulates the theory
that the form of tie hump is in keeping
with the general character of the sur
rounding country. He left directions
for placing over his grave marble
facsimile of his hump, with this cpl

CannibaIs in New Caledonia.
Sidney Morning Herald

Our Noumea correspondent gives the
following particulars of the murder
of eleven men in New Caledonia: t'The
place thrills with the news that in the
beginning of this week Nov 81, eleven
men were added to the list of victims
Again has Over-conhdence in the black
demons been the snare. Three small
coasters were engaged to carry pro-
visions and ammunition to the military
force under the command of Col Wend-
ling, operating against the rebels in the
north at 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, so far as q per-
feet acquaintance with their language,
manners and customs, was as native
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 a strict watch.
Both cautions seem to have been neg
lected. The lamentable fact remains
to be told that the expected provisions
not arriving, search was made, at the
mouth of tie Poya river one pillaged
boat was found, as also were traces of a
sanguinary fight, evinced by broken oars,
with natives hair adhearing. On the
borders Of the river, hidden away in the
scrub, were fonnd provisions, munitions
and six native baskets filled with fresh
ly cooked human flesh, from which the
bones were extracted; also the heads
on poles. Two thousand rounds Of
Chassepot rifle cartridges fell into the
rebels hands, and these they employed
against the boats Of the war steamer
Lanaotbe Piquit, as they were searching
the river on the 10th. A great many
shots were fired at the Kanaks hiding
in the mangroves which fringe the
rivers in New Caledonia. The boats
were struck with FIVE balls, but no one
was injured. The sailors could only
reply by blind shots as it were; for it is
impossible for any but the barefooted,
agile savage to move through these
mangrove swamps, misstep among
