TIE FLAVOR OF HUMAN FLEsH.-Refer
ring to the statement made by Rev. Mr.
soloder to the effect that the human hesn
eaten by him while in state OF cannipai-
ism on the Fiji Islands tasted like the meat
of the mule, the editor of the New York
Citizen says:
IT am sorry to correct this born cannibal;
bnt he has been converted to Christianity
for thirty-fve years, and has forgotten Tue
favor of his youthful diet. Upon the au,
thority of ship-wrecked captain, VINO mao
been forced to devour several OF MS crew.
am able to state that human flesh tastes
like pork, and I will back my captain
opinion against that of the Fiji cannloal iof
n dipner-a missionary dinner, OF course
Tt was at public dinner in Liverpool;
three wears before the captain had returned
alone from disastrous voyage, his ship and
crew being reported lost. There we're sus.
picions about him in some quarters, bu'.
these had gradually died out. After dinner
the conversation at one end of the table
turned upon the cannibalism, and one after
another gave his opinion Of the flavor OF
roasted man The captain became interest
ed, then forgot himself, and suddenly thun
,,ered out, you're all wrong. You know
nothing about it, The flesh tastes like fresh
pork" There was dead silence; every
body glared at the captain, who pushed
back his chair and hurried ont of the room.
Then the story of his ship wreck was told
from one end of the table to the other.
From that moment the captain was marx
ed man in Liverpool, aud not even the most
intimate Of his former friends would believe
that his exclamation was not confession"

The Republic of France seems to be
showing an unusual amount of determiua-
tion to embroil itself with England. The
suppression of the Bosphore Egypicn does
not appear to be matter of such interna-
tional Importance as to warrant the war
like demands for reparation which NJ.
Waddington is daily transmitting to Mr..
Gladstone. The French Government de-
clares it is not question of seizure, but a
violation of domicile aud under this pre-
tentious idea it keeps the cable hot witt
problems of international comfy.
To the diplomat and the publlcist this
little question of ofsuppressinga French news
paper on Egyptian territory is merely
ruse to detract public attention from Ton
quin, and to cover the withdrawal of the
French army from China. The Khediye's
government has done that which any we'll
Informed American could have done 49,
quoted fifty precedents to justify its con-
duct in selling and suppressing the Bosptore
EgypteA, and If England were not now on
the verge Of great crisis, in which she Is
desrous of securing allies, France might
receive an ultimatum that would cause
each individual hair of its ministry to
stand ON end. Waddngton has evidently
taken advantage both of the volatile ma.
ture of his people and of the rumors of
wars among the greater powers to steer his
seuttled Ship of State out Of Chinese waters.
This seems to be the situation Of affairs in
theFrench Republic. And all civilized ma
tions will call 1t splendid diplomacy.

Senator Morgan of Alabama has received
letter from Postmaster General Villas con 4.
cerning changes in postofiices, in which
Mr.. Villas says he fully recognizes the facs
that many such changes are desirable AMI
that the Department is doing all it can to
promote the end in view with the leas t
possible delay. at is, however, to be re-
membered," d" ho says, "that great many
other considerations besides the narrow
views Of individuals who are simply seek
ing change must be regarded"
In the opinion of the Postmaster General
the Administration should act upon safe,
conservative principle in this matter, 50
that there shall be no sectional prejudice
arouied nor even an appearance Of sec.
tional discrimination created. Mr., Villas is
right. 1t is best to make haste slowly
and his suggestion, which follows, is full
of sound sense:
think It would occur to the South above all
sections or the Union that nothing could be
more desirable TO them than that this Admin
lstration should meet with approval Ia the
North, because II the Administration is going
10 benefit the South by securing them for the
future fair appointments whore they have
been abused, It viii be Of little avail unless 1t
he In such manner as to meet also the aps
proval Of the whole country.
One Of the primo objects Of the Admins
tration should be to bring the original
geographical sections of the country into
such harmonious relations that nobody
would suspect there had ever been a di-
vision between them. Accomplishing this,
the Administration will have accomplished
success grander than that of Appomattox.

A RebeiIious Laureate.


Whittier once suggested that Tonnyson
should write threuody on Gordon and the
soudan, but the Poet-Laureato was more
silent even than those grim sphinxcS Of the
desert on whose sanded heads tho English
soldicry were then munching Chicago
canned beef. People wondered why Locks
ley Hallr did not emerge from his obscurity
and make some pretonse of earning the
salary allowed him by the Crown. But the
people got no satisfaction about 1t.
Yesterday Tennyson shot like meteor
across the sky of the MUSES.. But he sang a
song of the people, not of the Ministry.
Think Of poet laureate, employed by the
Government to extol its praises, writing
such rebellous stanza as this:
''Youl You who had the ordering Of her noet
II you have only compassed her ssrace,
When all men starve, the Wild mobs million
feet
win kick you from your place.
When it is remembered that this language
was addressed directly to the Navy De-
partment of the English Government, some
idea Of the Nervousness of Tennyson's of
fenso will be obtained. The idea of "kick-
ing" the Ministry must be a new sensation
to the English mind, 1t is certainly wild
Western idea. But the new poem clearly
shows why Tennyson did not write his
threnody on Gordon, He would have ar.
Iaigned the Government at time when
such action might have been adding fuel to
t. the flame
The English people were then denounc-
ing their own Ministry, and the Poet-Lau.
reate saw he could not join the hue an
cry without being called upon to give Al
account of himself He waits, therefore
until Russian aggression, French defanc 5
German Indifference aud Afghanistan un-
tertainties have added their dangers to the
Soudanese campaign and driven the popu-
lace into thorough harmony with the
British Government.
Then he inaugurated his little rebelliol
with song that fairly makes the blua
blood of English nobility leap with indig.
nation. His theme was practical in th1
highest degree but it is rather democrati
to threaten the Ministry with being kicked
by million feet. 1t gives one the idel
hat the Ministry would have to dino of
The mantlepiece for many months to come
