Cannibaiism.

Until M Hutchinson wrote i was
not generally credited that the Western
ttEicans were addicted TO cannibalisIn.
Bat his evideree Is not 10 be doubted.
- In 1853. ne .ays. " human flesh was
exposed a. butcner's meat in the mar
set at DdketOwn. old Calabar" II al
most seems that some religious grounds
may aciuafe ihC.l. - the same writer
SAYS: - In Brass (Or the Mimbe cOun-
try) cannibalism often occurs. Even
within the last year chief of that dis
tTict, named lmamy, killed two
Acreeka people who were sacrificed 10
the names Of his father. In Brass. as
IN BOnny. they eat all enemies taken IA
war. aud they put forth. aS q justiiica-
hon for this. that devOuring the flesh
Of their enemies makes them brave.

Governor Cleveland az n student.

He has been constant student MI his
life. His are faculties which hunger for
and delight in study always. He has ca
pacious and clear understanding. His Is
the intuitiyc instinct of the quick and alert
observer. rs well rs the careful habit OF the
conscientious investigator. He has great
application, which is another name for
Wlll-power. He has also a discrlmi-
Mating taste. He distinguishes between
things. H selects the best. His lmagi-
nation Is a marked aid. Ii enables
him TO viviiy facts by pictorializing them.
Never except TO abet genial humor is his
Imagination let run into extravaganza. He
has a memory that is marvellous. fact, a
person, principle. or sentiment, in
prose or verse, never passes before hlm
without being stereOtyped on bis recollec-
ton. He can repeat pages OF poetry or
prose after single reading. lie cannot
account for this power. He recognizes 1t
and utilities il: but he is careful to make 1t
ms servant. not his master. 1t is note
worthy that he remembers prose substan-
tially and poetry literally. The rhythm
and music OF the latter chain and
charm his mind. Long after he has for
gotten who the alithor Of some noble or
diyerting verses IL, and when he cannot re-
call when he learned them, he can repeat
them with correctness and admirable feel
inc II only some event or some incident in
conversation makes them opposite. Those
nearest 10 him find that his mind is stored
with these gems OF the muses.. An omniy-
orous reader, he retains the substance OF
facts. but the very words and forms OF ideas
OF beauty are treasured by him. His wit
is penetrating and quiet in It's play. II is
never made by him the servant OF malice.
II i employed to aid fancy; It is used to
light up some dark place with is
disclosing beam; it is resorted to
a. swift means OF exposing So
phistry, or pretence, or humbug; it
i ayaied OF to bring ont truth by surprise
or contrast; but it is never enlisted in
work Of causing OF rejecting hatred, or OF
holding up to ridicule the misiortunes or
infrmltieS OF Others. He has benevolent
heart. and l. Incapable Of using his facul-
tie, for maleyolent purposes. The work he
has done in large trusts has made the coun-
tfy familiar with his qualities a reformer
and statesman. The personal man. as re-
ycalcd to his friends, and d impcrfectly
suggested in what we have written, has
simplicity OF nature and a sterling quality
Of scli.reliancc, modesty. and courage
which prevent either station from initiating
or responsibility from appalling him.
