bas seldom looked upon tbe lace of a white man. San Francisco is tbe first gHtnpae of civilization be has bad since be left bis native borne in Danbnry, Connecticut, twenty seven years ago. twenty-five years and six months, jwecisely, be baa lived on a group of IttteBds inhabited by ferocious cannibals, mod, fortunately for himself, has come out bale and hearty, without ever halving as much as a slice of human steak taken from bis anatomy. A Chronicle reporter, alter a considerable display of fascinating eloquence, mixing with offered potations of spiritual delight, finally Bucoeeded in securing an interview with Mr. Cbase, who, when first approached, presented a deciuedly hostile and war like front. But under the soothing pro oe-« adopted by the interviewer, the latent bod of intellect rapidly blossomed and bore fruit, which is now placed before tbe mental. palate of tbe reader. It is a savory dish and cannot fail to •and a thrill of exquisite sensation through every nerve of tbe body and brain.

CANNIBALISM AS A FINE ART. The £roup of Islands on which Mr. Cbase has passed hjs quarter of a century is the Marquesas, where before his own eyes he has seeu cannibalism prac ttosd, both IM a fine art and a* a fierce display of human ferocity. This horrible praotice is indulged in principally to gratify a deadly spirit of revenue which one tribe of natives holds against another. In tbe many brutal and bloody civil wars which they have waged against one another the slain and captured victims are eaten with a vengeance. In their religious rites, a'so, they offer up human sacrifices captured in battle. When a victim is selected for aoannlbal feast, his body is washed clean, and tbe hair of bis head is burned ofl. If tbe feast is not of a religious ebaracter tbe victim is simply beateq to death with war clubs, and when dead bis body is again washed and placed in a large oven dug into tbe earth. The bole forming the oven has afire beneath, and over this is a pile of ronnd Btones. On the top of' this stoneb mate made of strong material are placed* ifa which tbe body is wrapped up. These mats are then covered over with a great pile of leaves, and all is agaih covered with another layer of mats. The fire' beneath absorbs enough of air to keep' it burning steadily, and soon a volume of steam is generated This escapes slowly through the mats and leaves, and gradually the body becomes cooked mrough this simple but certain steamig process. The cooks are of superior skill in their profession, arid can tell tp, the instant when tbe body issufficietttly '.ions' to euit the tastes of the guests When ready to take it out of the even, all tbe material covering it is carefully removed, and when it oomes to the last layers surrounding the victim the mats are taken off with a sensitive touch, lest any of the skin on tbe body should' be torn away. When all is bare, and the body looks brown and beautifully cook ed, a shout of demoniac laughter rends the air. and the oooks are complimented in the highest terms by tbe hosts of cannibals thirsting to enjoy tbe dreadful uxury.

CANNIBAL DELICACIES.

The brain and tbe eyes are considered the greatest delicacies, aud are always given to tbe ohiefe. Tbe breasts, thighs and the outer portion of the calves of the legs are the next greatest luxuriqs.^nd in this category also may be placed slices cut off from other portions of the body. All the parts mentioned betting to the ohiefe and cbiefesses of hlgbarid low rank, according to tbeir relative social status, while tne rest,of the body and t.he entrails are savagely devoured by the common natives. The flesh is eaten from the hand, and, to eive it still greater relish, is dipped in native sauces. Oocoanuts, yams and various edibles, besides certain varieties of fish but the piece de resistance is tbe human portion of the spread. While tbe feast lints, tbe greatest hilarity prevails, and after it is over a fearful drunken orgie follows, whenever the liquors, native or imported, can be procured. Scenes or tbe wildest lioentiousness acoompafty the revel, and for days after, the cannibals are in a state of semi unconsciousness. They quietly retire to their huts and allow sleep and nature to restore their shattered constitutions. Sleep is their great restorative, and after a fearful debauch they will lie as If dead for a spaae of from ten to fifteeo hours.

BATING BRAtrrmXI. YOUNG Q1RU Mr. Chase was witness to a fekrfal and revolting act of cannibalism practised at the little harbor of Atawanatwo years ago. A young and beautlfol girl bad been captured and brought Irl a canoe to Atawana. She belonged to a tribe which was fiercely hated by ber captors, and they determined to avenge themselves upon her. She was taken out into the oentor of the tillage, stripped naked, and bound. Then, with war elube, she was beaten, and fall as if dead to the ground. But white Ufa yet lingered, a woman of Atawana rushed up to the prostrate body, and, with a ferocious yell, dug her fingers into the eyes of ber victim, plucked them out of their sockets, and ate them in tbe presence of tbe infuriated and applauding multitude. Afterwards, while the body of the victim was yet warm, she was disemboweled, the cannibals fighting with each other for their share. Her whole body WAS then cut to pieces and divided np amongst the cannibals present. While Indulging in this almost Incredible bru tatlty. shouts of joyous vengeance were beard on every side. The cannibals fairly reveled In devouring nearly every atom of the body. Taey washed down the fleah eat$n, with native intoxicating drinks, and after the carnage vas concluded a triuraohant war dance of vongeance followed.

SACRIFICING RKLIOtOUl VICTUT*. Great pomp and solemnity surround •iotlaas intended for religious sacrifices, aud none but high priests can officiate in the solemn ceremonies. Tbe priests bave numerous attendants, mostly young boys, who are being educated for prteauy honors. The victim selected is us a Alt a man of note amongst his tribe, aod while he is ia the bands of his religious torturers, previous to the act of •afritta*, receives some consideration. Wdfit the hour

ails,

seems as if they were shrieking. Charms, spells and incantations are then brought into play, the priests occasionally placing their hands upon the Intended sacrifice, who never utters a word from the time be is selected as a sacrifice to tbe moment of bisde»th. Tbe iustaut selected for performing tbe operation being reached, the chief high priest advances towards tbe victim, and, feeling for tbe beating of tbe heart announces to his sttendants that be is ready to commence. He then takes knife and deliberately cuts *ut the heart, tbe vtotiao writhing in agony during tbe process. To sjreik or utter a word dnring this frightful torture would be cowardice, an evidence that the sacrifice had acknowledged tbe power of bis enemies. Tbe heart cut out, it is hsnded to a young priest, the prieat considering this tbe greatest honor of his life. The victim quickly expires, and then the whole body is cut up and divided atnongst those waiting to reoelve their portions ot it. The fiesii of the religious victim ia more highly praised than thatoi any other, all the portions considered most choice being reserved for the high priests and high chiefs.

THE VICTIMS MOST HIGHLY PBAISBD. The cannibals have epicurean taste* and a fine sense of the various shades of dellfcacy of different classes of victim* The fiesh most highly praised i(| that of the Afi-i'jan, and a colored man who in life neither drank nor smoked, if he falls into the bands of tbe Marquesas cannibals, id certain to bave tbe highest gespect shown him. tie will be fed lux uriously and tended carefully up to tbe time that he is to be sacrificed. The bod les of missionaries take second rank, because'ln lire they are supposed to have used neither liquors nor tobacco. Sail ors are not esteemed a luxury, becanse their flesh is thoroughly saturated with staoke, whisky and salt water. Tbe cannibals bave tbe most dainty sense of sipell in this respect, and will tell in stantly whether their victim ba9 ever been in the habit of using liquors or stimulants of any kind. Young children aud women, especially unmarried women, are great luxuries. Persons ad vanced in years are seldom eaten, as their bodies are too full of well developed tough sinews. Mr. Chase has never seen a white person offered up as a sacrifice to the cannibal appetite, but there are well authenticated cases of such beirig tbe fact. A missionary and two colored men are said to have been eaten on. Dominique Island, one of the most savage of the group. In recent times the cannibals rarely sacrifice a white victim, but the are entirely willing to do so if the opportunity offers. It is not safe to trust them with a tender AngloSaxon lamb, or anything else in the shape of humanity that would be certain to take a first prize at a baby show. These not being procurable, no objection would be offered to making a good, square meal of a nice, fat, healthy mis sionary. Sailors are the only class of white men for whom the cannibals can not get iip an appetite at a moment's warning. e, ii ,n

THE CHAMPION MURDERER.

A Man Who Could Have Started Several Graveyards.—A Long Career of Crime —Hanging of the Man Who Had Killed

Thirty People.

W. P. Longley, the king of desperadoes, was hung at Gidings, Texas, on tbe lltb inst., for the murder of Wilson Anderson. Longley had certainly killed eight men—six whites and two negroes —besides shooting several who survived but it is confidently believed that at least thirty men died by his hand. He was a little over twenty-seven years of age, tali and graceful, with a mild, blue eye, ruddy complexion, Roman nose, a'dark mustache and goatee, and a set of teeth like pearls. While talking he occasionally rubbed tbem with a faded silk handkerchief, and his voice was low and gentle as a women's. He wore tbe Texan sombrero, the band ot which is made in imitation of a coiled rattlesnake, and with his coat buttoned around his shapely waist), his hat tipped a little to one aide of bis well shaped bead, he waa the model of tbe roving desperado of Texas.

Longley began his extraordinary career at tbe age of fifteen, when he and a companion amused themselves by mounting on horseback aod firing at every negro whom they encountered. The immunity which Longley enjoyed emboldened him to more daring orimes, until before reaching his majority he waB one of the most dreaded men north of the Rio Grande. While vet quite young he started through the Indian nation with a companion, but was attacked by outlaws, his partner killed, apd himself put to flight. When his horse gave out ne shot tin Indian and took his from him. This he repeated several times, until the Creeks and Choctaws gathered and pursued him. Lonaley's horse was killed, himself wounded, and he took to tbe bush. Here be was found by a squaw, who brought him food and tnen helped conceal him until the hue and cry was over, when ho got away.

Longley subsequently joined a party which started for the Black Hills, but was turned back by the Government troops, and he enlisted in the service. He made an arrangement with the quartermaster to swindle the Government, but the two attempted to choat each other, quarrelled, aud Longley shot the quartermaster dead, and then took to tbe mountains. lie was followed, captured. and sentenced to a lotig confinement in tbe prison, but escaped, as he declared, through bribing the guard.

While tramping through the woods In Arkansas one day, he stopped at a cabin, where be was welcomed by its only occupant, a powerful limbed, heavily bearded man. While the two were in conversation, tbe cabin was surrounded by a vigilance committee, that had come for the express purpose of lynch ing the hoet, who waa a noted horse thief named West. Finding a handsome,

{onged

he la placed upon

I arc* stone, to which his hodv is bound IS*.iily The prints then chant low

[raceiul guest, they concluded be be* to the gang. Longley protected, and appealed to the horse thief, who grimly shook his head- As there was no help for him*elf, he thought bis vis itor might as well bear him company in the road to the sudden gallows.

Both men were carried out and hung to the limb of a tree, and then the seven vigilant* galloped away. A brother or West was hiding in tbe woods, watching the prooeedingi). As tbe horsemen disappeared, be ran up and cut down tbe horse thief. He was already dead, but when Longley waa lowered, be waa found to lie alive. The knot of tbe rope bad caught in bis ear, and in the course of an hour be waa as well as ever.

Longley straightway devoted bimself to 'getting even' with tbe Vigilance Committee. He caught and hanged the man who put tbe rope around his neck, and claimed to bave shot ail tbe others, though it is scarcely credible that auob was the case.

Some of Longley's murders were particularly atrocious. He deliberately killed tbe Rev. Mr. Ray, of Arkansas, because that gentleman attempted to persuade a young girl not to marry the desperado. One night a soldier expressed an unfavorable io»"l Texans,

and

was that of walking into afield where a man waa ploughing, and Ariog one barrel of his gun at him. The poor fellow fell, badly wounded, aud aaked Longley why he bad shot him. 'For fnn,' was the answer, as the young scoundrel emptied the other barrel into bia vie tim's body, instantly killing him. It should be stated that Longley 8UBpected this person of being conoerned in the slaying of a distant relative ol bis.

Finally this desperado seemed to weary of his massacres, and went iuto Nacogdoches oouuty, where he engaged himself to a farmer. He worked quietly for several months, and formed astroug friendship for a young man in the neighborhood, to whom, finally, under a sol emn pledge of secrt vy, be gave his oor rect name His confidant communicated with tbe authorities, who, kuowing tbe desperate character or tbeir man, sue ceeded in surrounding bim while he was unarmed and working in a field. Hi«,trial aid oonviction followed, and, after several appeals, he suffered the penalty of his numerous crimes.

HOW HARHY FLOTEE GOT THE SCHOOL. San Francisco Chronicle. 'Mister, no doubt you bave all the learnln' that's

out if you try. We've had three who tried it on. One lays there in tbe grave vard another lost his eye and left the "last one opened school and left before noon time for the benefit of his health. He hasn't been back since. Now you're a slender build, and all ur lesrnin' will only make it worse, for all oor young folks are roughs aod don't stand no nonsense.'

This was what one of tbe trustees Of the district said to my friend Harry Flotee, when he made application for tbe vacant lsltlon of teacfier. 'I/?t me try. I know I am slender, but I am tough and I bave a strong will,' said Harry. •Just as you like. There's the schoolhouse, and I'll have notice given ir you want it done,' said the trustee. 'I do,' said Harrv 'and I'll open next Monday at 9 a. m.'

The notice was given and there was a good deal of excitement in the gulch and along the Yuba flats. More than fifty young people of both ?exe8 made an excuse to drop_into tae tavern to get a sight at tbe fellow who thought he could keep school in that district.

Eight o'clock Monday morning came, and Harry Flotee went down to tbe school bouse with a key in one hand and a valise in the other. •Ready to slope if he finds we're too much for him.' said a cross eyed, broad shouldered fellow of eighteen.

Tbe school use was unlocked and tbe new teacher went to the desk. Some of the young folks went in to see what he was going to do, though school was not called.

Harrv opened his vaiipe and took out a large" bolt. Then, after buckling it around his waist, ne put three Gdlt's nayy revolvers there, each of six barrels and a bowie knife eighteen inches in the a •Thunder! He means business! mut tered the cross eyed chap.

Tbe new teacher now took out a square

card

about four inches each way,

walked to the other end of the school house and tacked it up against the wall. Returning to bis desk, he drew a revolver from his belt, and ^uick as thought sent ball after ball into the card, till there were six balls in a spot not much larger than asilver dollar.

Then the teacher walked half way down the room with the bowie knife in his hand, and threw it with so true a hand that it stuck quivering in the very centre of the card.

He left it there and put two more knives of the same kind in bis belt and quietly reloaded bis yet smoking pistol. 'Ring tbe bell I am about to open school.'

He spoke to the oroas eyed boy, the bully of the crowd, and the boy rang the bell without a word. •The scholars will take their seats I open school with prayer,' he said, sternly, five minutes later.

The scholars sat down silent, almost breathless. Alter the prayer the teacher cocked a revolver and walked down on the floor. •We will arrange the classes,' be said. 'All who can read, write arid spell will rise. Of them' we will form the first C1B88»9

Only six got up. He escorted them to upper seats, and then began to examine the rest. A Whlsber was heard behind him. In a second he wheeled, revolver in ha 'No whispering allowed, here!' he thundered, and for an instant his revolver lay otya level with the cross eyed boy's head. •I'll not do so any mere,' gasped the bully. •See you do not. 1 never give a second amine,' said tbe teacher, and the revolver felL

It took two hours to organli9 tbe classes, but when done they were well organised. Tben came recess. The teacher went out too, for the room was crowded and hot, A hawk was circling overhead high in the air. Tbe teacher drew a revolver, and the next second tbe hawk came tumbling down among the wondering scholars.

From that day on Harry kept school for two years iu Cranberry Gulch, nis salary doubled after tbe first quarter, and bis pupils learned to love as well as to respect him, and tbe revolvers went out of sight within a month.

They bad found a man at last who could keep school. 'Thl»is a fact^

WHAT HAD NO INTEREST FOR HIM. Boston Courier.

A straneer sat in the corner of the car hence to New York in easy attitude, his feet upon a large black trunk, the gen tlemanly conductor, goir bis rounds, at tbe first station politely informed tbe stranger that the trunk mow be put in tbe hagpage car, to which the stranger nothing reolied. At tbe second statioo the displeased conductor more decidedly told the stranger that be must put tbe trunk in the baggage car or it would be put off the train, to which the stranger nothing replied. At tbe third ststion the Vexed conductor more imperatively told the stranger that he must put the trunk in the baggage car or it would be put off the train, to which tbe stranger nothing replied. At the fourth atation tbe irate oonductor had the trunk put off and left. At tbe fifth atation the mollified con'duetor, addressing tbe stranger, begged him to remember that be bad but done it after repeated warnings, and that it was solely the stranger's fault. To which the stranger laconically replied "Don't care taint my trunk."

The National Scourge.

It is estimated that the annual damages caused by tbe ravages of insects and worms exoeed f150,000,000 In the United States alone. Truly an- enormous low*l Yet it sinks into insignificance when compared with the ravages of that more terrible scourge, Consumption, which annually sweeps hundreds of thousands of human souls into eternity. The causes of consumption are various, de pending in every instance for the development of the disease upon the scrofulous diathesis, or temperament, of tbe victim. Thus tbe same cause which will produce in one person an attack of acute disease or a slight nervous prostration, will engender consumption in a person ^f scrofulous habit. That consumption canoe cured by proper treat ment will be readily perceived when the exact nature of tbe disease is understood, viz: tbe accumulation and deposition of scrofulous matter (tubercles) in the lungs. O'viouslv, tbe principal remedies required are (1) a powerful alterative, or blood purifier, to arrest be accumulations and also cleanse tbe blood of the suotulous matter, and (2) a mild cathartic, to expel the diseat»ed matter Irom tbe system. This course of treatment, in conjunction with a strict hygienic regime, has proved the moat successful method of curing tbia disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasaut Purgative Pellets are tbe best alterative and cathartio remedies before the public, and bave been alone used in thousands of cases of consumption with the most mttrked efficacy. Dr Pierce'8 Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y., affords special and unequaled advantages to consumptives, not only possessing tbe best medical and hygienic means of treatment, but having the essential advantage of being situated in a climate where the inhabitants are notably free from this disease. -r'

to Dr. Swayne & Son, Philadelphia: Some months ago the daughter of one of our prominent citizens was pronounced a hopeless consumptive and to bave seen ber at time one would have supposed there was ground for tbe decision, as she was very much reduced in fiesb, had avertible cougb, expectorated blood, streamed tuberculous matter, very nervous. that she could scarcely sleep. She bad been doctored' along while with cough and various specifics, and several physicians had tried tbeir skill on her, but without avail, her life gradually wasting away. I recommended her to use Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which she did, and in a few weeks she was free from all cough, and other symptoms of disease, ana it was considered a miracle in this section, as she is now rosy and healthy. Let all who are predisposed to weak lungs, Coughs and Colds, Throat, Breast and Lung Disorders, trv Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, they will soon discover that it is vastly superior to anythins they have ever used. It ia equally valuable in asthmatic and bronchial affections. Prepared only by Dr. Swayne A Son, 330 North 8ixih street, Philadelphia. Trial bottles, 25 cents, large size (holding five of the small), $1, or half d(.z»n ?5 Sold by Buntin A Armstrong, Terre Haute.

ITC'HlNtii P8H5*.—'The symptoms are moisture, like perspiration, intense itching, increased by scratching, very distressing, particularly, at night, as if pin worms were crawling in and about the rectum, the private parts are sometimes aflected If allowed to continue, very serious results may follow.
