The Gannibal's View,

The Woelffel expedition which recently
traversed region of dense forests back
OF the Ivory coast In West Africa, found
there large number of cannibals, COM
prising several tribes. They are only
about 120 miles from the coast and within
a weeks journey of the French posts.
Cannibals have seldom been found in AZ
rica so near the sea. AS a rule they do
not live within 500 miles of the ocean.
and most of them are still farther in
land. There are no cannibal tribes, Tor
example, on the lower part of the Congo
river, though the middle and upper Congo
basin are the greatest hot-bed of can
nibalsm in the world.
When the white men in the Woelffel
party asked these cannibals why they in
dulged In the practice of eating human
flesh they replied that men are in the
habit OF washing their bodies three times
a day and their flesh, therefore. is clean
er and sweeter than that OF cattle, which
are never washed.
These natives have guns and powder,
which they procure from Liberia or the
Gold Coast. AS they have no bullets they
use large pebbles In their guns.
When Mr.. Stanley sent Captain Co
quilhat TO occupy the station he had es-
tablished among the fierce Bangalla
cannibals of the middle Congo he found
the natives ever ready to defend the prac-
tice OF eating human flesh. This Is hor-
rible," said Coquilhat one day TO chief
whom he saw at his meal. ION the con-
trary, IL is delicious with salt" was the
reply.
Another time the Belgian soldier ex-
pressed his adherence TO a chief who
was about 20 sit down TO a cannibal BAN
quet. The latter replied TO his pro-
tests:
when you kill n goat do not inter-
fere. This dead man here is my property.
| did not steal nor capture him, but L
bought him with good cloth and I will
eat him II I please"
One day Coquilhat pointed out the diff
ferences between man and mere animals
and tried 10 convince the natives that 10

him and 20 degrade their species.
bright fellow in the crowd called out In
answer:
"Al you talk only shows that human
flesh Is the best sort OF food, while the
flesh OF mere animals Is a vile sort OF
nutrment"
The practice still widely prevails over
tropical Africa. In many Islands OF the
Pacific, I'm Northern Australia and among

however. I'm all regions where the whites
are acquiring important influence. IL Is
not found. for example. I'm the neighbor-
hood of any OF the white stations In the
Congo basin where IL Is now crime pun
ishable with death. As fast as the in
fuence OF the state Is extended over the
country the eating OF human flesh is dis
continued. Thus the great Bangalla
tribe, which gave Stanley his hardest
oght when he descended the river. has
entirely abandoned cannibalism; many OF
the native employees OF the state come
from this tribe--Philadelphia Record.

the Civil War only two survive. General

field he always served. we believe, un-
der others-under Sherman In the Allan

and bloody battle of Franklin. General
Howard was for some time in command
OF the army OF Tennessee. and ate
the rank OF brigadier general in the reg

on the Union side. he says: "of them
