LIVING ON HUMAN FLESH.
Horrible Details of the Grimes Oa
Beckwith, of Afford, Mass.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 30.
It is now believed that the murder of Simon
A. Yandercook, near the town of Afford, this
State, few weeks ago was the result of the
cannibalistic longings of apowerfully built man
Of fine personal appearance named Beckwith,
between IS aud 60 years of age, and weighing
something over two hundred pounds. On the
day when the constable and posse broke into
BeckwIth's hut some gicKening sights were
presented In the stove we're discovered
the head, feet and one hand of a human body,
charred and blackened by fire. In an adjoin-
ing room was found the rest Of the body, tho
trunk split through, several ribs split off, and
the entrails taken ont and lying In a basket
near by. Great slices of flesh had been cut
from the arms and legs, and there we're evil
dences of a ghasily and fendish purpose hay
ing been completed.
The theoryis, and it is said to be well founded,
that Beckwith is a cannibsl. 1t is thought he
intended to eat portion Of Yandercooks body,
the liver of the victim having been found in his
frying-pan and portion Of it gone. The mrr-
derer had also. it is said, washed his victims
remains and otherwise prepared them for
salting down in a barrel, TO serve for a supply
OF food during the winter. That Beckyith's
stomach was not too fastidious for this sort Of
diet would seem to be implied By the remark Of
a stage-driver that =" Beelkwith ate one OF
bis horses that died from disease early this
winter
Some Of the people Of Afford say they have
heard the murderer boast that he had eaten
human flesh IN Australia, and that he could do
it again, if necessary. 1t is called TO mind that
an old lady, named Mrs. WHISKY Peck, vent
Deriving on the mountains in the vicinity OF
Beckwitb's cabin several years ego, and has
never since been seen. At tbs time of her dis
appearance 100 men made search for her. Now
Beckwith's recent crime gives coior to gus
picion that he also murder q this woman, and
perhaps, ate portions Of her 1esh.
When BeckBith was last in Great Darlington,
few weeks ago, he inquired Of one Of
the butchers whether the latter wished to pur-
chase some pork. When the cabin was reached,
soon after the murder, no pork or other pro-
visions of any account could be found and tho
startling query now raised among those pos
sessed Of vivid imaginations is whether he IL
tended to sell human flesh as pork. BeckWith's
cabin has been burned, and it is reported that
there has been found beneath the rubbish i
subterranean passage, in which it is thought
that the remains of 100 persons have beeD
burned.

The Post of Minister of Fine Arts, created by
Gambetta, is suffered to fall in allegiance
The'programme of the new Ministry, as read
to the Chamber of Deputies, met with great
favor, and the new administration is in a fair
way to get along smoothly with the element
which put an extinguisher upon Gambettas
flaming ambition. Commencing with the as
surance of peace at home and abroad,
he announced that the laws relative to the
press and to the right of public meeting will
be applied in liberal sense. 1t is thought
best to postpone a revision of the constitution
until the next Legislature meets, but the Judi
cial, military and educational reforms already
undertaken will be perseyered with. An i'm
petus will be given to labor, but there will be
no compulsory conversion of the debt or pur-
chase of railways.

The Coal Crop.
WASHINGTON, Jan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.
The census office has just published report
on the production of bituminous coal, from
which it appears the total amount mined in the
United States during the census year 1880 was
~, 420, $50 tons, of which total 29,S42, $40 tons
were produced in the Appalachian coal field.
Allegheny county, Pa, furnished over one
tenth, and the States of Pennsylvania. Illinois
and Ohio nearly three-fourths of the entire
product. The average price per ton at the
mine in 1880 was 81. %, while in 1870 it was
S1.92, at cost of SO cents. An average of
431 $500 tons was raised per man and l6 S per
cent.of the years working time, or about twenty
days per man, was lost in strikes. Sufficient
information was gathered to justify the as
sumption that the exhausted fields form but
a very small fraction of the total available
coal land. Attention is called to the fact
that, although the value of the product has
fallen, wsges have not correspondingly de-
creased, and the totals prove again nearly a
third of a million dollars annually in favor of
labor. Anthracite product was $50, GAS. 1856
tons, nearly all furnished by the State of Penn
sylvania, making the total product of the
country for the census year Isl, 066, SIC tons
England produced TAG, S1s, 122 tons in the same
year.

" agreed to increase the number of Represent

of Representatives 800 instead of 49,
as proposed by the McCord bill. The
apportionment to each State under the bill

Washington correspondent says the APP
poftionment bill agreed upon by the House COM
mittee sis cunningly contrived to obtain the
united support of the big States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, having total
vote of ninety-nine in the House. To this
number must be added Iowa with nine votes,
Massachusetts with eleven, Michigan with nine,
Kentucky with ten, Missouri with thirteen, In
diana with thirteen, Virginia with nine and
Georgia with nine, all of which gain one mem
Der each, between 307 (Mr. Cox's number)
and $40, which is the number agreed
upon by the House committee. But
it is not conceivable that the 800 bill will get
through the Senate without amendment 1t
depliyes Rhode Island, Florida and California
of member each. The whole Democratic vote
will be cast against it in the Senate, and the
Republican Senators from Rhode Island and
California will not agree to it. not improba-
BILE solution of the question is the passage of
the present bill with an amendment giving an
extra member each to Rhode Island, Florida
and California -
