his wife. nee Harney, whose first hns-
band was the yiscount de None. are at
the Southern. The Baron d'E Este is 4
Frenchman by birth. an Italian by
descent, an Englishman through his
mother. and 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 a representa-
tive of the Republic he said that he had
spent much of his life in the British
colonies. The Baron is handsome
man, with a sunburned face, speaks
English like an EngIishnan, 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
q very high price. he. in company with
number of friends. went into tile
business of raising the costly product
on the Fiji Islands, The islands at
that time were inhabited largely by
eannibals, and white men. though as
sisted By the friendly natives, carried
their lives in their hands, and went
constantly armed.
The sister of nv first wife, said
the Baron, Twas shot down by the ma
tiyes, along with her husband and
their two children The cannibals then
attempted to carry of 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 Nv
business partner died, aud some of the
wretches pilfered his grave of two
thigh bones. which they carried of 10
their mountain -etreat as trophies. but
/ found out who had been guilty of tile
deSecration and succeeded in recover
ing the bones

elbow and whispered one suggestive
and sufficient word-.Man.' | needed

much pleased to think that white
man had eaten human flesh Our life
was certainly a dangerous one. but
cotton WAS selling iiigh and we made
money. In 1875 the English took pos

their forces. and the cannibals were
all either killed or made prisoners
In 1873 the Baron left the FIJI Islands
