SOME SOOTH SEA ISLANDS. ilfo Amonc th© Natives of New Meck lenburg- and New Pomerania. Entm the Sail fVancisco Chronicle. A sent!onian who has spent a number of fears in the South seas as agent for a Ger nan mercantile house, recently narrated lie following account of his residenre in the Sew Britain group to a Chronicle reporter. Plus group composed of New Britain anil few Ireland was discovered by Dutch navi tutors in 1610. Although several of the British exploring ships visited the islands, t was not until 1872 that the English war hip Blanche discovered a very fine harbor lid named it Blanche bay. “In 1880,"’ said tiie Chronicle's informant, •there were two communities —one on tho Bland of Matupi, in Blanche bay. the head juarters of our trading firm, and the mis konaries, who live at a station on Duke of [ r ork Island, situated on the channel be tween New Britain and New Ireland. Our frm have a few traders at villages around ho islands. The German government took lossession of these islands hi 1881!, and they tre now called New Mecklenburg and New Pomerania. Upon New Britain there are (wo extinct volcanoes and one partially letive. Within a mile of this burning fountain is a river of boiling water, with a Itrong sulphurous taste.” “Is it very hot upon the islands?” “Well, on the coast, where the sea breeze fe felt, there is not much to complain of. Trade winds blow all day for seven or eight Months of the year, but the night land breeze is very noxious, ns sweeping over thp Inland swamps it becomes laden with mala ria. Matupi, our head station, is very healthy and fever is unknown. Tropical vegetation is very luxuriant and voided. Sigantic trees are coverts! with ferns, or chids, huge mosses and parasitic growths of ill descriptions. The mass of vegetation is dank and matted that it requires ax work to cut a roadway through the jungle. Birds of gorgeous hue flit about amid the lowers and leaves, scarcely distinguishable an unpractioed eye, while insects and Butterflies vie in size and coloring with tho lumming bird. “Our trade consists in purchasing copra, Iried coeoanut, hawksbill turtle shell, bech ie msr and a few shark fins. We give in (xchange tobacco principally, but prints and cotton goods, powder and knives are also M ticles of barter. Tho natives are good agriculturists. In every little fissure of the rocks and on hillsides are patches of sugar jane and beds of yams and sweet potatoes. Taro is also growing, anil the plant requires jonsiderable irrigation, supplied by means of artificial channels and dams, whereby the mountain streams are conducted to the Bolds.” “How many inhabitants are there?” “Well, roughly speaking, I should state about 80,000 souls. Since the German war Ships visited us a number of villages on the nest side of New Britain have been dLseov rred. Coeoanut trees are very abundant, and wherever dense groves were seen from the vessel’s decks smoke was visible rising from them, indicating the presence of natives. About the island of New Britain or New Mecklenburg we know a great deal; of New Ireland or New Pomerania a little, but New Hanover, which lies a little to the liorth of the group, is almost a terra incog nita. The natives there are very hostile, and have killed and eaten several white tnen. So far as I have seen from a schooner’s fieck, the land on New Hanover is rich toil—wide-spreading plains covered with sugar cane and coeoanut trees. The moun tains seem to be in the interior, as the slopes gradually come toward the coast, and dense masses of vapor cluster over the tons, espe cially in the rainy season. These islands are lovely spots, and, being out of tho beaten track, the natives still retain their ancient customs and practice various rites and cer monies of olden times. “The native, as a rule, does not like to lie questioned. He credits a white man with possessing univei-sal knowledge, and when asked about an observance or ceremony usually returns evasive replies. In New Britain there ore customs that to talk about is tabooed, and some words are not per mitted to be spoken. My acquaintance with these people and observations are, therefore, the only guides to go by. The parents be troth their children at early ages. The boy has to work and pay for his wife in copra, cqeoanuts or trading goods. When the stipulated amount is liquidated the husband builds a small house in the brush at some distance from his village. He then per suades his fiance to dope with him, but with the knowledge of her parents. The discov ery of the abduction is then made, the girl’s father is indignant and the bridegroom’s father comes to offer sympathy ana vows vengeance against his son for disgracing him. Then all the relatives on either side are called in and a feast takes place. The Ineal being ended, the men arm themselves and put on their war paint, starting out as if in search of a foe. They know exactly W'here the house is, and of course find it empty. As the expedition would lie shorn of its impressiveness if some display were not made, the house is burned anrl the party returns to the village, where another feast is held. Next morning the young couple are Ui be found in the and the balance of tho purchase being paid, married life is entered into without further inconvenience. The custom prevails that a man pays off a deceased brother’s obligation in the matter of making good any contract for payments entered into for a girl. She becomes, after liquidation of tho contract, a part of tiis household. When the father dies the chil dren are taken to the mother’s village for support, but the widow is never allowed to marry again. In these islands a curious custom prevails which might be copied by civilized nations to advantage. A man must not speak to his mother-in-law. Not only is Speech forbidden to this relative, but she must be avoided. If by chance the laxly Is met, the son-in-law must hide himself or cover his face. Suicide of Ijoth parties is the outcome if the rule is broken. One of the English missionaries tried to got at the natives’ idea of an oath, and he found that the most solemn asseveration among them "as, ‘lf l am not telling the truth I hone I may touch the hand of my mother-in-law.’ Numerous idols carved out of a white, chalk-like stone are found in the group, but the natives say they are very old. and seem Jo be in dread if a white man touches or looks at one. They are very rude coneep- J'ons. and are generally found in the vicin ity of graves. “Although cannibalism is reported by missionaries to have died out among the islands in the South Seas, it is far more common than generally imagined. In New Ireland I saw a big fight between two vil lages, and after tho battle the bodies of those who had fallen wero eaten. The bodies lifter being scalded in hot water are scraped "ith a bamboo knife bv old women. Ail aid man cuts up the bodies, taking care to keep the thigh and shm bones, which are Jscd for spoor heads. After lieiug wrapped iu stout leaves tho dismembered cadavers Sro placed in ovens dug in tlm ground, and In four days are ready for eating. Tho natives made no concealment of their dis- Kusting meal, and during the feast they held wild dancing and orgies. Tho prepara tion of sago, coeoanut and human brains is Jalle<l fiakaak, and is in great demand among tho women. Th® females seemed to lie more hnita! and savage than the men during this oannuet;. “With regard to the ndnptibility of these blan(is to wliite colonization, there is no feusoii why such n scheme should not suc j’jol. There is rich soil, fine climate and plenty of water. Although the natives are fci'nge and suspicious, they can In* easily fniuiagoit by firmness and consideration, bone of the men are over .11-2 feet, in stat h,'' e t while the women are much shorter. * hey make good servants, but must be held lu check and never allowed any familiarity.” HOKSEOItD’S ACID PHOSPHATE In Nervous Debility. t>r.

MASON & HAILiI IMPROVED UPRIGHT PIANOS With Their improved Method of Stringing, PATENTED JULY 21, 1883. CHABAOTERtZED BV BPJGHTEST, PUREST TONES, GREATEST DURABILITY, IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING. The Strings being directly secured to the iron frame by metal fastenings, will not require tun ing one-quarter as often as Piauos on the old system. This new mode of piano construction was In vented and introduced bx Mason A Il.imlin in 1882, and has been fully tested and proved,many excellent experts haring pronounced it the “greatest improvement made in pianos of the century." For fifty years manufacturers have realized the disadvantages of wrest-plns set in wood to fasten tho strings of pianos, and have lieen seek ing to find some better way of securing them. Especially has this been the case in Europe, where a number of patents have been taken out for devices securing the strings by matul fasten ings directly to the plates. Until the invention of the Mason A Hamlin Cos. not one of those lias proved practically successful: but the constant striving of piano forte makers for this improve ment shows its importance. The lack of re liability of iron set in wood to fasten the strings securely, exactly and permanently, has been the most serious difficulty or' piano making from the beginning. Not forgetting or Underestimating the great improvements effected from time to time ia pianos, or the great excellence recently attained by best makers, it yet remains that the improvement of greatest importance of all, without which very highest excellence could not be attained, has not been successfully accom plished until now. Every piano of their manufacture will illus trate that very highest excellence which has al ways characterized their Organs, and won for them highest awards at every great world's in dustrial exhibition for nineteen years.

Another very desirable site for a dwelling, ba in g several feet higher than the land on the east Ride of the park, is on the south side of Hail street, near the residence recently purchased by Mr. Randolph Axson.
