A Horrible Story Of Cannibalism.

Last week the REGISTER published
an account of the sutferings of the
survivors of the wrecked steamship
Earnmoor, and how for twenty days
they were in an open boat on the
ocean without food or water. 1t was
stated then that the men had caught
a bird or two which sustained their
lives. But Carl Crane and Ludwig
Loder, two OF the survivors, arrived
in Baltimore last Friday and told a
different story. Loder said: THE
only food we had for the first fifteen
days in the boat was flying fish and
a few raw small sea birds divided
among eleven men. On the 10th day
out VIM. Davis, a seaman, caught NE

"On the seventeenth day William
Robinson lay down to sleep. Wnen
they tried to call him they found him
dead. 1t was determined TO eat his
flesh and William Wright, the cook,
was ordered to carve the body. The
first thing done was to smash in Rob-
inson's skull and from the fracture
each one sucked the blood as long as
it would last, which was but little
while. Then the cook stripped the
flesh from the ribs. The next day the
flesh in strips was placed on the top
of the water-tight compartments and
dried in the sun.
After taking out Robinson's liver,
heart and other parts, which would
furnish blood to be sucked, they
threw his mutilated body into the sea-

Both Crane and Loder say they
have no recollection of the taste OF
human flesh, so great was their mental
anguish at the time. Their only rec
objection of taking the food is feeling
their own blood quicken as it coursed
through their veins.

A Mare and an OK Fight to the Death.

G.. w. Hammond, of Cowan Station,
KY, turned a fine blooded mare, val
ued at $500, and u large OK into the
same Enclosure ON Monday. The two
animals had been together several
times before, but as soon as they en-
tered the lot Monday they rushed at
each other. Two or three farm hands
were present and attempted to sepa-
rate them, but narrowly escaped ser
ious injury and failedin the endeavor.
The mare kicked the OK in the side
with both feet, nearly stunning him,
but the latter recovered and gored
the mare two or three times. Both
fought with the greatest fury. The
mare both kicked and bit, tearing
chunks of flesh from the OK with her
sharp teeth, while she in turn was
raked again and again by the ox's
sharp horns. Both were covered with
blood, but continued the battle as
desperately as ever, despite all the eff
forts of the men to separate them.
At last the OK plunged his horn almost
entirely through the thick part of the
mares neck. The blow was fatal, but
as the mare staggered her weight
broke the ox's horn off short, and she
fell and died with it in her body. The
OK was so badly kicked and bitten
that he died in the afternoon.

She Acts Like a Chicken.

A remarkable case Of madness comes
from Brazoria, Texas. A negro
woman OF that vicinity, while setting
q hen to hatch a nest of eggs, wished
to place more under her, and raised
the fowl from the nest in order to do
so. The hen turned on her and gave
her q peck on the hand SO severe as
to break the skin. drawing at the
same time few drops of blood.
AS the wound healed up without
delay nothing more was thought OF
the matter, the woman only mention
ing the occurrence casually to some
of the other negroes on the place.
Last week, some ten days after the
hen had pecked her, the woman be-
gan to exhibit strange freaks of de-
meanor, and, from q good-natured,
obliging creature, has become so frac-
tious and surly that all are afraid to
approach her. She refuses all com
partnership and wanders about the
country all day from early morning,
only coming to the house for her
meals. If any attempt is made to
confne her, or to lay hands on her,
she becomes violently angry and
makes vicious darts and springs
towards any one present.
For days now she has not spoken a
word, but keeps up continually low
clucking noise, most horribly like
that OF hen, and sits by the hour
scratching in the earth with her hands
and feet. In eating her resemblance
to fowl is displayed in a most re-
markable and shocking manner, for
her food is taken up by her pecking
at it with all the motions of u chick
ems head while feeding.
All who knew her before her mad
ness say that her entire expression
has undergone a change. This is
probably true. for her features now
wear sharpened, eager aspect, and
her eyes have most unnaturally
hard and bright look. AT night she
refuses to sleep under roof, and is
generally found hiding about sunset
under some tree or bush, and will Wig
orously resent with an angry cackle
all attempts to disturb her. She is
visibly growing weaker, and physi-
clans who have seen her say that her
death is only a question of few
weeks at most.
The negroes about regard her as
one bewitched or "hoodoed," and
cannot be prevailed upon to approach
her, even her husband and children
having deserted her. People come
from all over the country to see her,
while she remains to all appearances
perfectly oblivious to her visitors and
quietly pursues her clucking. and
scratching as long as she is not inter
fered with.

THEY ARE GOOD HATERs.

Every now and then there are re-
unions of Federal Blue and Confeder-
ate Grey on this or that battlefield,
when the veterans of either side shake
hands across the bloody chasm and
conduct themselves as brethren once
at variance but now happily reunited.
But oftener than these occasions,
NAV be noticed exhibitions of bitter
hatred manifested by northern SOL
diers against those of the South. A
short time ago the survivors OF the
Second Maryland Regiment (Confed-
erate) purchased piece of ground on
the Gettysburg battlefield and on
their private property thus acquired
they placed modest monument to
mark the position their regiment oc-
cupied in the great battle.
This was worse than shaking a red
flag at a mad bull, and ABE Patter-
son Post. Ct. A. r." of Pittsburg, I'M
mediately flew to arms. Those worthy
veterans entered their solemn pro-
test against this sacrilege, and most
emphatically denounce such intrusion
nv traitors upon sacred soil, and ask
that the Gettysburg Battlefield Asso-
citation, of which Governor Beaver is
chairman. cause the rebel monument
to be removed and express orders
given that no more Of that nature be
erected" Abe Patterson. Post never
stopped to consider that this monu-
ment was erected on private prop
erty: there was no Objectionable In
scription which could arouse their
anger They simply took advantage
OF an opportunity to display their
hatred of the soldiers who fought so
bravely against them twenty-five
years ago.
The opinion of Abe Patterson Post,
fortunately, doesn't have a great deal
of weight. and certainly cannot affect
those at whom it is aimed. Abe Pat
terson Post is probably composed
chiefly of bummers. Manliness is at
discount among its members. But,
remarkable to say, Governor Beaver
of Pennsylvania, who was a gallant
soldier himself, endorses these Eel
lows. He says these resolutions
show the right spirit" Governor
Beaver. who less than month ago
accepted and enjoyed the hospitality
of ex-Confederates at Winchester, Vir-
ginia. agrees with these expressions
of hate against rebel traitors" We
don't know what induced so estilna-
BILE a gentleman as the Governor OF
PENNSYLVANIA to subscribe to such
sentiments. Whether it is because
he. too. hates the Southerners; wheth-
err he does it to gain political advan-
tage among the members OF the u. "A.
R.: or whether he is lacking in that
spirit OF manliness that might be rea-
sonably be looked for in victor
quarter of a century after the van
quished has quietly accepted his fate,
We cannot tell
Governor beaver has placed himself
in an unenviable attitude.
