He enjoyed a small pension in his later years, and lived until February 2. 1856. when he was thrown out of a cart and killed in his seventy-sixth year. The site of the present town of Geelong, about forty miles from Melbourne. was the headquarters of the tribe to which Buckley was attached during his three decades of savage life.

 James Morrill, a native of Maldon. Essex, was the sole survivor of the shipwreck of the bark Peruvian, that struck on a reef off the northeastern coast of Queensland on March s. 1S46 He lived with the Queensland blacks until his rescue in February, 1863 An other shipwreek sailor John Benton by name. was with Inc Queensland blacks for an even longer period, twenty years The story of a little cabin-boy named Narcisse Pierre Pellatier ought to have attracted the attention of the boys novelists long before now He en- gagged as cabin boy on the St. Paul bound from China to Australia with $50 Chinese ernigrants. She also struck on a reef off the northeastern coast of Queensland. Officers and crew got away in the boats. not troubling them selves about the Chinese passengers. and in their hurry forgetting the little cabin boy, who was subsequently, found by the blacks in a dying condition in a cranny among the rocks They nursed him back to life, fed him. treat ed him we'll. and. in fact, made him the pet of the tribe Nearly all the Chinese passengers were captured by the blacks and eaten up two at time. The flesh of Chinaman is esteemed great deli. cacy by the cannibal blacks Of Queens land. From the point of view of can- nibal. vegetarian is vastly superior to a meat-eater. Little Pellatier lived with the blacks for seventeen years. and was rescued by British ship. the John Bell. on April II, 1875.

A vessel flying the Norwegian flag

WAR POSTOFFICES
Will Be Conducted By the Soldiers
Without Expense to Uncle Sam.

Washington, D. c., May 24.-The
Postoffice Department is deluged with
letters from persons who wish to obtain
appointments in connection with the
military postoffice service at the differ
ent camps and headquarters. BY an
understanding entered into between
Postmaster General Emory Smith and
First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry Heath, however, this service will
be supervised entirely by the existing
force Of the Postoffice Department, and
the active work of collecting and dis
trbuting mail matter to the forces IN
the field will be managed by the Off
GERS and enlisted men Of the army,
without added expense to the govern
ment The routing work CT establish
ing the different camp postoffices Will
be directed by the special agents of the
rural free delivery service and the reg
ular corps Of postoffice inspectors; the
regimental chaplains as rule will
be commissioned postmasters, the
transportation of the mail to and from
the different camps will be performed
by the army ambulances; and the cor
porals and privates will act as mail
superintendent and carriers respect
lively. 1t is Mr.. Heath's opinion that a
very efficient service in this way can
be established without taking on addi-
tional employees. The public are asked
to assist by carefully naming company
and regiment in the addresses OF their
letters to the different camps.

board the Atlas line steamer Altai.
from Kingston, Jamaica, which reached
port to-day, says that he was at Bar
BADGES three weeks ago. when the Span
ish troopship Alfonso XIII. put in there
for coal. The port harbormaster found
that she had 1,1C0 men over the num-
Der of her crew. The Spaniard desired
to purchase a large quantity of provis-
ions and coal, but was only permitted
TO buy sufficient to last to the next
port. This passenger said that at
Kingston the supply of breadstuffs was
very short, and he knew of three YES
sells which had succeeded in running in
full cargoes of food supplies to the ports
on the south side of Cuba, in spite of
the efforts of the Jamaican government
to prevent it.

irish Societies, at Chicago Oppose
Closer Relations With Great Britain.
Chicago, May 24.-The united Irish
societies of Chicago at big mass meet
ing in Central Music hall, presided over
by John M. Smyth, a prominent mer-
chant, have adopted resolutions en-
phatically condemning the suggested
alliance between the United States and
Great Britain. The resolutions de-
nounce the alliance as uncalled for and
nationally degrading-at variance with
American people who are not of British
birth or ancestry. 1t is declared that
such an alliance would result in Eu-
ropean combination against us and
would make us partners in the crimes
of the British empire against weak
States and defenseless peoples. The
resolutions ''call upon the American
government, executive and legislative,
to repudiate policy so suicidal that
could not fail to fill with disgust mill
ions Of loyal American citizens"
The principal speaker, John F. Fin
erty, said: I'VE will fight this alliance
on the platform and at the polls. We
are willing and eager to fight for Amer
lea, but we will never fire a shot or
lose single drop Of blood for Eng
land"
