Lived Among Cannibals.

Beresford Alfred, Baron d'Este, and
his wife, nee Harvey, whose first hus-
band was the Viscount de None, are at
the Southern. The Baron d'Este is a
Frenchman by birth, an Italian by
descent, an Englishman through his
mother, and a man of many countries
by virtue of travel and inclination. He
wears his title lightly as one who has
seen much Of the world and lived
among those nations where rank is
levelled by necessity; and such is in
deed the case.
In conversation with representa-
tive of the Republic he said that he had
spent much of his life in the British
colonies The Baron is a handsome
man, with a sunburned face, speaks
English like an Englishman, and does
not look over 40 years of age, though
he may be older. AS young man he
spent several years in Australia, but
in 1870, when cotton was commanding
very high price, he, in company with
a number of friends. went into the
business of raising the costly product
on the FIJI Islands. The islands at
that time were inhabited largely by
cannibals, and white men, though as
sisted by the friendly natives, carried
their lives in their hands, and went
constantly armed.
''The sister of my first wife," said
the Baron, '.was shot down by the ma
tives, along with her husband and
their two children. The cannibals then
attempted to carry off the dead bodies,
intending to eat them at their leisure
in the mountains, but fortunately re-
endorsements came to our aid and
the savages were driven back. My
business partner died, and some of the
wretches pilfered his grave of two
thigh bones, which they carried off to
their mountain retreat as trophies; but
I found out who had been guilty of the
dissertation, and succeeded in recover
ing the bones.
Il was once on the point of tasting
tives had been assisting us to build
house, and the completion of the work
was celebrated with feast. In the
course of the dinner l helped myself
from dish whose contents resembled
pork, and was about to taste of it when
friendly native nudged me with his
elbow and whispered one suggestive
and sufficient word Man needed
no further explanation; but it must
have been great disappointment to
the cannibals, who would have been
much pleased to think that a white
man had eaten human flesh. Our life
was certainly dangerous one, but
cotton was selling high and we made
money. In 1875 the English took pos
session of the island. | gladly joined
their forces, and the cannibals were
all either killed or made prisoners
In 1873 the Baron left the FIJI Islands
for India, where he went into the bust
ness OF raising sugar. He also spent
some time ia Madagascar, but for the
past few years has been living in Paris.

CARD TO OUR FRIENDS.

The fire at our Malt House on last Sun
day morning gives us an opportunity to
express to the Kenosha Fire Department
our full appreciation and hearty thanks
for their interchangeable labors to preserve
our property on that occasion
When the location of the fire is consid-
cred, the difficulty of reaching it and the
Roadway it had gained their work was
little short of marvellous and worthy of an
old, disciplined and well paid department.
We are not only grateful for their in
valuable aid, but also proud of the record
they made. Respectfully,
