BOSTON, Mass., July 11.—News
has been received here of the
death of J. H. Rumril, w.ho for
more than fifty years was Yankee
king of cannibals in the far-off
Marquesas islands in the South
ern Pacific.
Although he died a year ago,
his family here has just been noti
fied. Rumril I was 70 years of
age and had a native wife ami
children.
His last thoughts took him back
to the home of his boyhood and
his kindred, and giving a mission
ary friend the name and address
of a sister, who yet lives in the
old New England home, he ex
pressed a desire that she be im
formed of his feeble condition
and that he had died a Christian.
Tt was from this missionary
that a letter was received by Rum
rill’s. sister Mrs. J. R. Nason, of
Roxbury, giving some details of
Rumrills last days.
Rumri)l whs born in Boston in
the early thirties of the last cen
tury. Rove of the sea induced
him in 1847 to ship on board a
New Bedford whaler, which dis
appeared after rounding Cape
Horn.
Upward of forty years had
passed since he sailed away when
one day a naval officer called upon
Mrs. Nason with news of her bro
ther,^
The officer said that his ship had
the year before stopped for water
off" the town of Talohae, on Nuku-
Vtlrd' one of the Marquesas group,
and he had there met the king of
the islands, who, to his surprise
addressed him in rather awkward
English. The king was to all ap
pearances one of the natives.
One side of his face from the cen
ter of his forehead down was tat
tooed in native designs and char
acters. and he had the swarthy

copper color of the islanders. He
told the officer he was not a na
tive, but a New Englander born,
and that his name was J. H. Hum
rill.
His story, as the naval officer re
peated it, was as follows:
The whaling ship on which he
sailed was wrecked off' one of the
Marquesas. All on hoard were
drowned except Humrill and four
or five of his comrades.
The survivors were seized by
the natives, who determined to
serve them up as a grand feast.
The news was sent by courier to
different parts of the islands and
the rest of the inhabitahts were
invited to the banquet.
Before being dished up each one
of tbe captives were bound secure
ly and subjected to the slow, tor
turing process of being tattooed
from head to foot on one side of
the body, the dividing line being
drawn straight down the center of
the forehead. The rule was that
should he survive he should not be
killed.
Rumrill’s comrades succumbed,
and were eaten, but he survived
and became a favorite with the
king and the natives. In course
of time he learned the native lan
guage and customs, and taught
the natives many useful things.
Above all, he sought to abolish
their cannibalistic practices, and
in this he was largely successful.
The old king died, leaving Rum
rill his successor.
At the time of the American
war ship’s visit Rumrill was near
ly sixty. He told the visitor that
lie had lived so long in the islands
and had been so thoroughly im
bued with the spirit of the life of
the islanders that he had no de
sire to return to his old home.
Indeed, in his tattooed state it
would have been impossible for
him to return to civilization and
live in any comfort.
One wish he did have, and that
was that his visitor on returning
to the United States should call
at his old home in Roxbury, seek
his sister, and if alive, givo her
greetings from her long lost bro
ther. He also desired that she
should write to him.
Mrs. Nason at once wrote her
brother a long long letter, and af
ter many months it reached its
destination. Rumrill wrote back,
giving more details of his long
life on the islands, and for a time
the correspondence was kept up,
though the letters from Rumrill
were few.

“Goodbye Dear Old Stepstone, Goodbye!”
Among the varied experiences
jof a life of over fifty years the
recent fiery ordeal through which
11 have passed stands out distinct
and apart from all others. Life
can never be the same to me, for
the dear old “homestead,” with
'all its sacred and sweet associations
exists only in memory now. The
home where father, mother,
brothers, sisters, husband and
children made the life of t.he long
ago so bright and beautiful; the
home where sunshine, shadow,
prosperity and adversity, joy and
sorrow were alike, enjoyed and
suffered together, has succumbed
to the inevitable change, decay,
and only a pile of melancholy
ruins marks the spot so dear to
our hearts.
How well do I remember the
happy day when we moved into
the then new home, planned and
built by a loving, indulgent father,
who lived only for the welfare and
happiness of his wife and children.
A few short months only, was he
permitted to share tlie home with
us, then his brave heroic spirit
went up to the God who gave it.
In less than two years our gen
tle, sweet-spirited mother joined
him in the heavenly home above.
With the elasticity of young and
bouvant life and the knowledge
that these two who were lovely
and pleasant in their lives and in
death not long divided, the cloud
gradually lifted, bringing again
the sunshine. How vain would
be the attempt to express my love
and appreciation for these two.
Language fails to give expression
to the deepest feeling of the heart,
but I am animated by the hope
that some sweet day in a fairer
clime than this, and where there
will be no lamentations, I will sit
at their dear feet and give them
the homage of my heart.
Inside the old walls and under
its hospitable roof little children
WR re born and reared, the floors
resounding to the tread of patter
ing feet, and the whole housp was
filled with the music of childish
laughter. Two of the dear little
ones lingered for only a brief time
and then their little feet strayed
away into the paradise of God,
taking with them much of the
sunshine of life. The others have
grown and developed into noble
manhood and sweet womanhood,
left the old home roof, bid good
bye to the dear old step-stone, and
are scattered north, south and
west endeavoring, I believe, to
so'lve the true meaning of life;
earnest, true and loya 1 to the les
sons learned at mother sknee, and
imitating the example of a father
A grain of sand in the eye can
cause excruciating agony. A grain
of pepper in place of the grain of
sand intensifies the torment. The
pain is not confined to the organs
affected. The whole body feels the
shock of that little irritating part
derangement or disorder of the
delicate womanly organs. The
disorder may seem trival but the
whole body feels it. The nervous
system is disordered. There are
fretfulness, irritability, sullenness
and depression of spirits. The gen
eral health of woman depends on
the local health of the organs jh>-
euliarlv feminine. Remove the
drains, ulcerations, bearing down
pain.s and other afflictions of wo
man. and the whole body feels the
benefit. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite

BASKBALU
Forsytli Will Moot the Locals
Here Friday.
The manager of the Barnesville
baseball team has arranged a
game for Friday afternoon with
the Forsyth team, the game to he
played on the diamond here.
The Forsyth team is a fine set
of ball players and as the locals
are in tine trim no doubt the game
will be a good one. A large
crowd i9 expected out to see the
game.
who was the embodiment of all
that is noble and good.
The twenty years of happy mar
ried life lived within these walks
is too sacred to recall. It would
be cruel indeed to open afresh the
wound that has never healed ; the
deep, vital, wound, made so sud
denly, leaving me alone and
adrift upon life’s tempestuous sea I
—no, I cannot say alone, for I
would be disloyal to that one who
has promised to be a husband to
the widow', a father to the father
less, and who has been my pilot
through all the years.
“Asa mother stills her child
Thou canst hush the ocean wild.
Boisterous waves obey thy will
When thou sayest peace be still!” ]
Six times lias the old house lis-1
tened to the joyous peal of wed
ding bells, and throughout the
years that have come and gone,
bringing with them the changes
that are incidental to this life,
our hearts have ever clung fondly
to the old “home, sweet home.”
As the years go by I realize
more and more that, “there is
nothing true but heaven” and
how vain it is to set one’s affection
on things of earth. The world is
very beautiful to me still, and
while I know the happiest part of
my life is behind me, and that
the roses of happiness w r ill not
bloom along my path as of yore,
yet “the lilliea of peace kiss my
tired feet.”
With God’s help I am stepping
upward, and hope that at the end
of the days I will be given a title
to one of the many mansions that
will be proof againt fire and des
truction ; a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
I wish to give expression to the
gratitude I feel for the help ren
dered by kind neighbors and
friends amid the terror and con
fusion of that awful night.
To the colored people, who gave
valuable service, I am indebted,
especially to the one whose warn
ing voice rang out upon the mid
night air, arousing us from slum
ber and saving us perhaps from a
horrible death. Every sweet word
of sympathy emphasized by many
acts of kindness is fully apprecia
ted, and while the dear old house
with many other things that
money cannot replace has perish
ed in the flames, I feel that God
is good, and while counting the
many blessings yet left to me, I
feel that life is still w'ortli the
living.
With God to strengthen and up
lift, I will try to Bury my sorrow,
let others be blest, give them the
sunshine, tell Jesus the rest.
Mrs. 8. E. Cook.
An fdntenainment.
On last Wednesday afternoon
quite a number of young people
were entertained very delightfully
at the home of Col. and Mrs. J.
M. Smith, on Forsyth street, in
honor of their niece, Miss Susie
Dean Howard, of Holton.
The program of the entertain
ment consisted of several amusing
games, some of which were played
on the lawn in front of the dwell
ing. After indulging in these for
a considerable time, delightful re*
freshments were served. The
party, after paying flattering res
pects to all that constituted the
repast, then dispersed.
The lack of space renders us un
able to mention the names of all
present, but to say they enjoyed
the occasion highly goes without
contradiction.
