ALLEGED CANNIBALIsM.

Late issues of the New York Times have
contained startling and greatly oyerdrawn
disclosures pertaining to the alleged can
nibalism of the Greely survivors. While,
at first blush, the acts as charged would
arouse thrill of horror and condemnat1on,
cooler reasonings must plead that there
are circumstances and occasions when such
deeds are not only allowable but excusable.
While it is beyond dispute that the body OF
Lieut.. KissIinbury was stripped of all sur
plus flesh, there still remains the doubt
whether it was used by his unfortunate COM
panions to sustain their own feeble exist
ence, Or simply as bait by which fish
and shrimp were caught. We, who are
clothed with comfortable allowance Of
adipose tissue, and hedged in BY plentitude
of blessings, are not fit judges of men ex-
posed to such trials and temptations as
were the Greedy survivors. Alone in the
ghostly silence of the frozen north, iemmed
in by pitiless ice peaks, waiting for and
fearing the swift coming of the dread Angel
OF DSaIn, WHICH even tIleu Iiau CttSt LIS u1A IL
shadow oyer the haggard faces of those
starving men, what wonder that the images
these weakened brains conjured of warmth
and cheer, of waiting loved ones and glow
ing hearthstones, gave them strength and
fortitude to try by arg means to prolong
their lives. The reports of the Times should
be forgotten in the thought that this little
band of men is the remnant of q large
force which left wives and sweethearts and
prattling little ones, happy homes and
cheerful fresides, oil that makes life worth
living, purely to benefit the researches of
science and discovery, and now returns
decimated, yet bringing the proud distinc-
ton of having penetrated further North
than explorers of any other nation and
wrested from England at peril of health
and strength, life and limb, the supremacy
in this respect which she has SO long en-
joyed.

BASE BALL.-The Nolans, with a party of
friends reached Plaquemine last Sunday
evening. They there played the Viguets,
the game resulting in score of &c to 8 in
favor of our boys. Quite large crowd, in
Guiding many ladies, witnessed the game
from the seats which hare been erected by
the Viguets in their new South End Park.
Monday evening the Nolans took the train
for Shreveport where they arrived in time
to fix game for Wednesday, which how
ever. they were compelled to postpone on
account of the weather. The intervening
time seems to have been spent by the play
ers on the respective sides in compliment
ing each other, for from the Democrat,
whose editor is base ball man we believe,
we clip the following: "The Nolans look,
every inch of them, base ball men, and no
doubt the result of these games will be
doubtful. Our citizens will remember
their visit here last year, and how it put our
boys on their mettle to defeat them. They
have been strengthened greatly since, and
have come again for the purpose of regain
ing the laurels lost last year and have come
prepared. Their department while here
was very exemplary indeed, which gives
them an additional claim for good attend
ances.a On Thursday evening the first
game of the series was played, the score
by innings being;

,Hollingsworth threw out seven to Burke's
nine men and gave six men first base on
called balls-Burke, five. The game of yester
day evening resulted in still greater disas-
ter to Donaldsonville, its nine scoring only
eleven runs, while Shreveport made fifteen.
The Noians play the 0. Ks. this evening
and it is not only hoped here but expected
.hat they will be victorious. We have only
the result of the second of the series
games aud can not comment on the play
ing, but in the first tussle Burke distin-
gnished himself. Being pitted against a
professional pitcher, the young man has
tossed better game than his opponent.
