the captured Frenchmen. The would
be banqueters fled at their approach,
but were pursued and fifteen of them
killed. The scene upon the beach,
Captain Bieuamie says, where they
landed was sickening in the extreme.
Several large blocks, similar to those
used by butchers, were standing a short
distance back from the shore. These
were reeking with blood, and near them
were massed the trunks of their coun-
trymen, denuded of their heads, and
limbs, and their bowels torn down to
get at the heart, which is esteemed a
delicacy. Piled up near by were the
skulls and bones of the arms and legs,
scraped clean of the flesh. The flesh
from the limbs was cut into steaks or
roasts, and broiling and sizzling over
the Goals OF huge fires kindled for the
purpose, sending forth smell that was
fairly sickening. The flesh of the head,
together with the brains, they had
placed in large kettle taken from the
stove in the train, which was boiling
over the fire. The provisions, wines,
ETC., were scattered about in the great
est confusion. One of the men who ac-
companied the French crew recognized
among the bodies, by portions of the
clothing still left upon them, those of
two of his sons. The father tainted at
the sight, and such was the impression
made upon his mind that he had never
fully recovered from the shock. In the
course of the conversation with Captain
Bienamie yesterday fact concerning
cannibal habits of the South Sea Island
ers was adduced which goes to disprove
the theory generally advanced by arch
eologists that prehistoric man was not
a cannibal. They generally claim that,
had the men of the quarternary period
been cannibals, we should find the
bones generally cracked for the mar
row, like those of the beasts, which is
not the case; also, that had the mound
builders eaten their own species they
would have thrown the human bones
into heaps with those of beasts and
fishes. Captain Bienamie says that
the bones of the victims in the
Marquesas and New Caledonia were
never broken, but always scraped, and
after the feast was over placed in piles
near some large palm trees. The con-
dition of the natives in New Caledonia,
he states, is very deplorable, and he
recognizes it as very promising mis-
sionary field. Outside of the conyicts
there are probably not more than ZOO
white persons on theisland. San Fran

acre with 0ne-Fourih Fertilizer Aimed to
get on 400 pounds per acre, but fell short Of
that amount from 25 to 80 pounds except on
the first acre, where we put on GOO pounds.
My crop averaged about 221 bushels per acre
The acre where the 600 pounds was put on
was best all through the season, aud would
have yielded, If thrashed alone, perhaps 80 or
35 bushels per acre. A-beeTy dressing would
have paid this dry season; but for wet sea-

pounds per acre, but at considerable greater
cost. could see no difference in the wheat
from first TO last.

pounds per acre, and harvested from Is to so
bushels per acre. For the last two years /
have used your 0ne-Third on wheat with as
gratifying results, SO far as can judge, as
with the iialf-and-Half. Ny wheat crop this
year was badly straw-fallen, on account of a
severe storm just before harvest the result
was waste of about to bushels to the
acre. The dry, hot weather forced the ripen-
ing too soon; the result is many small grains
in the top of the head. | have thrashed my
wheat; il averages little over 20 bushel to
the acre. have used other Fertilizers and
the result has not given me tho satisfaction
that | derived from yours, from the fact that
have never lost crop on which have APP
piled your Fertilizers. J.P. DODGE.
