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.

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. Cata
logues of Organs and Pianos free to any address.
WARRANT.- Each Piano will be accompanied
by the fullest warrant. Itetermined to achieve
the very highest reputation for their piano
fortes should defect develop itself in any one the
company will be more eager to correct it than
the purchaser can be to have them.
