Horrible CannibaIism,

A Cree Indian, whose name being
translated signifies the Swift Runner, has
been arrested in Canada on the horrible
charge of having killed and eaten his
whole family, consisting of his mother,
brother, wife ard five children, during
the r. st winter. The police took the
prisoner to the scene of the alleged atroc-
ity. and there found the bones of all the
family but one. They showed that they
had been cooked, some by boiling and
others by roasting, thus establishing the
charge of canpibalism; but as to the
charge of murder, there is no other than
strong presumptive evidence of guilt.
The police were unable to find the re-
mains of one of the victims, and the pris.
oner refused to say anything about it--a
circumstance which is naturally con
strued to his disadvantage.
The prisoner does not deny the accusa-
ton of having eaten the bodies, but saws
that his mother, brother and the children
died of starvation, and that his wife,
weary of the suffering she was enduring,
shot herself. The charge brought against
him, on the other hand, is that he killed
his whole family, dried their flesh and
ate it at his leisure. When the police
found the remains, he put his fingers into
the eyeless sockets of a skull, and hold
ing it up, coolly remarked. "This was
my wife"
The scene of the tragedy is only about
seventy-five miles from a settlement.
The Swift Runner had a preliminary ex.
animation, when he confessed to having
killed and eaten his wife and family, but
denied having so disposed of his mother
apd brother. He says they left his camp
and he does not know where they are at

Too Many GraYeyards.

Somebody tells a story of traveller
who put up at a Boston hotel. He was
given a room in the rear of the building,
and the first sight which met his eye in
the morning was u gloomy expanse of
graveyard right under his window. He
was man of sensitive nature, and the
landscape spoiled his appetite for that
day. AS soon as his days work or
pleasure was over he quietly removed
his baggage to another house. Here he
asked for frontroom and went to sleep
in peace; but in the morning, as before,
Aurora's gentle beams gilded dazzling
array of tombstones across the street in
the Kings Chapel graveyard. The gen
tleman had another days bad digestion,
but. being of courageous disposition, he
made third trial and expressly stipu-
lated that he should not be given back
room nor front one. The gentlemanly
clerk assigned him cheerful parlor on
the west side and the guest went to bed
happy. He arose feeling decidedly more
cheerful, and drew his curtains to feast
his gaze on the Old Granary cemetery,
with tombstones three hundred years
old moldering before him. 1t was too
much for the stranger. He paid his bill
and departed to hunt up town "where
it wasn't so unhealthy that they had to
have graveyard attached to every
hotel. - Worcester (MaSS.) Spy.

Those Useful COnduits,


The kidneys and b adder, sometimes become
torpid and weak from unascertainable causes.
When this occurs, their discharging function
is Of necessity very imperlectly performed,
and certain DEBRIS, which is the result OF
natural bodily waste and decay, does not es-
cape rs it should, but remains to corrupt the
blood and develop poisonous humors and
dangerous as well as painful diseases. 1t is
one OF the benetlcent effects OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the uri.
nary organs, and prevent them from lasping
into a state of inactivity, always provocative
TO their inflammatory degeneration and de
cay. How much better, then, is it to adop
this mild diuretic es a means OF melting then
to action, than to incur the danger OF this de
struction. To expel from the system waste
matter through the bowels and kidneys, ant
to regulate and arouse the stomach and liver
are among the chief uses of this valuabl,
| remedy.

ayoung wife of that city who is anx-
ious to keep her husband home even
ings flatters him about the exquisitely
dainty proportions of his feet, and in
duces him to wear boots about two sizes
too small for him. He is on his feet all
day long in town, and when he comes
home at night, she has soft chair and
a pair of loose, cool slippers for him, and
by the time he, with great drops of

that there is no place like home after
all, and has no desire to go down town
