Some curious ■tatement - eancemiag the
bomlr.nlmcnt of one of the Uorqnesas Is
land, by a French corvette, oM of the
habits of the natives of the klonria. are
given by tho S.m Francisco Alta, on the
allcgol authority of Capt. Hodgkin. of
the schooner Maggie Johnson, which ar
rived at that port on the 20th ultimo from
Tahiti. The Alta says:
Tho schooner visited the Marquesas
Islands, and on the 2Sth. tflfth and ItOth
of Juno was in Atuane. Ray in the Island
of Domini'I'le. one <»f tho group. Th-
French corvette Brunt was also in the
port of Atuana, lielching forth shot and
shell on tho island, but more especially
into a valley where the natives had re-
U-od as a refuge. They could eat each
oflier, hnt they dreaded, and retreated
beforo tho thundering of the corvette's
guns. Shortly le fore the arrival of Capt.
Hodgkins, an incident or. ured on up-
Island peculiar U> the native*, and not on-
common, although seldom occuring open
ly. Mr. Danc y, resident agent . n the
island of A. Crawford &. Co., and Capt.
Rickie, who trades among the Marquesas
frcmf, MS in Ont Hodgkins the de
tails of the cannilaJ incident. Capt. Hart,
nn American, has a large plantat ion <m
the Island of Dominii|iie, on which he
employs Chinamon and natives to raise
cotton. There are two or thru- tribes of
EaUvea on tho i - land, who, at*this time,
aro on unfriendly relations with each oth
er. When a tribe proposes to go
on tub was rani,
and have their fellow countrymen for
food, tho memlsws of that tribe let tho
hair on one side of the head grow long,
and keep the other side closely clipfwd.
When the hair lias grown to fighting
length, war and man-eating begins.
Shortly Indore the visit of the French cor
vette. one of tho tribes wore the hair in
fighting, revengeful, man-eating fashion.
Tho natiwos employcd l.y Capt. liart were
not of this tril«-, lmt it was against them
that this spirit of revenge had been
nursed, and war was to lie made. One of
tho lnlligcrcnt trilio, by an indiscreet
baste to Batiste his appetite with a
stook cut off a victim, precipitated the
unequal contest between nis trilio and the
French. Ho visited Capt. Hart's planta
tion. and took with him a heavy liatchet,
which he asked one of the plantation
hands, a native, to sharpen. lie took the
tho liatchet, reduced it to a keen edge,
and handcil it hock to tho war-liko canni
bal. Tho latter said: " Is this well done f"
The former answered, “ It is.” Scarcely
had the last word liecn spoken when the
cannibal raised the hatchet, whirled it in
the air, and aiming a Mow at him who
sluu-pcned it, struck him on the neck and
almost severed his head from Ills body.
Another stroko of the liatchet and the
prostrate cannilsil was
IN CONDITION' TO US COOKKD.
Ilis wife was then assaulted and mur
dered, and the canniliu] buried hi* vic
tims to keep for further use. Afte r the
lapse of two or three days tlio wily savage
returned, took up his victims and carried
them to a convenient valley, roasted
thorn, and, assisted by others of his tribe,
dovonred them with revengeful relish.
Captain Hart reported the matter to the
French officials on the island, who imme
diately informed tho officers of the gov
ernment at Tahiti. Tho corvette Brunt
was dispatched to punish the natives for
this fresh outburst of connilulism. It
arrived before the Mnggio Johnson, and
for soven days an incessant fire was kept
up on tho ialand. The tribe fled first to
tho hills, supposing they could not l>o
iwM ffcaraw Ml tWy were soon disa
bused of this idea. They abandoned their
favorite position and took to the volleys;
hut here they were no safer. Shot and
shell followed them ovorywlicre. and they
were finally compollod to surrender. It is
not known—was not when the Maggii
Johnson loft—bow many of the man-
eaters, if any. wen- killed or wounded
but as
WOUNDED MEINS KILLED—
because, if unable to protect themselves,
they will be killed and devoured—this
general term will answer for lioth. The
natires wore released, after being soundly
admonished that they must give up their
man-eating proclivities, but seven chiefs
wore taken to Tahiti to lie hanged by the
necks, or dispatched in some other way.
The commander of the corvette said they
would lie executed upon his arrival at
Tahiti, and it is possible that by this time
their bodies will not bo considered desir-
nhlo food liy their countrymen. Capt.
Hodgkins lias no doubt they were exe
cuted. Tho spirit of revenge, and all im
mediate dosiro for war, are over just now;
and the cannibal warriors hnveeiitolt the
long hair, which indicates peace. The
effect of the visit of the limat is now and
will bo felt for a long time. It gives ad
ditional, if not absolute security to for
eigners, and has unnerved the rannalial
natives. The Marquesas Islands belong
to the French, and this disposition to
punish treachery will protect those who
settle on them.
CUSTOMS or TUB NATIVES.
There are six prominent islands of the
gioup which nro visited by merchant ves
sels. They eon tain n total population of
about 10.000. The smaller ones are sel
dom visited, and hut little is known of
them. Tho natives are cannibals, and
although there are Catholic and Protest-
.11 ■ 1 :i- ost.lbli-hod . .11 t! ,- I O- :
islands, there are hut very few converts
to Christianity. Churches of t-ith de
nominations an- erected on the islands,
which are well attended on Sundays and
all times of worship. Tbs chief mission
ary of the Catholic Church, the Domini,
as he is called, is a fat. portly, healthy
man of about fifty summers, lie is very
much liked by tha natives. They flock
to his church in large numbers, and after
the services they talk to tlu> good old
man, feel his arms and body, and pro
nounce Mas good to eat. They join in a
general "Hula-hula”—a most immoral
dineo—after service. It is said this
priest would have afforded sweet and
nourishing food for the iTinnibnls, only
tliat they nro afraid of tho terrible pun
ishment which would ho certain to follow
such an act- But when they talk of the
EXCELLENT CONDITION IMR KILI.INO
of the priest, their thirst for human flesh
liocomos so desperate that it must lie sa
tiated by one of their own people. When
a cannibal kills and devours a cannilvil,
he preserves his hair, of which he makes
a necklace. They also wear the hair of
their victims around their waists and an
kles. The more ponderous these orna
ments "the bigger the injun.” Thi$-
wear a very small covering over the
waist, called' tapa—a sort of cloth made
from tho bark of tho date true. In tho
settlements near tho ports, tho natives
conduct themselves quietly; but no white
man is safe any distance front there or a
settlement. They decoy strangers to the
woods and murder and devour them.
Their feasting ground is generally under
the spreading leaves of the banana. They
got drunk on orange rum, or the fer
mented juice of the orange; dance around
the roosting victims and sniff the smoke
from tho crisped and burning bones with
a decided relish. They are tatooed in the
most grotesque style, and a hand not ta
tooed cannot touch the roasting human
flesh. Only a short time lieforo visit of
the French corvette,
THIRTY NATIVES WEEK PEVOVr.ED
at a grand barbecue, and the opinion of
foreigners who have lived on tho islands
is that the natives aro as much cannibals
to-day as they ever were. When they
cennt-t get human flesh they substitute
hogs; but they call this meat a very peior
substitute indeed. They are cooked
thus: A hole is dug in the earth, and
lined around with red-liot stones. Tho
hog is rolled up in banana leaves, laid on
the stones, covered with more hot rocks,
and, finally, with earth. Here it remains
until cooked. Captain Hodgkins says
they cook well—man or hog.
How She Takes the Train.
Sho conics down to tho dopot in an ex
press wagon throe hours before train
time. She insists on sitting on her trun k,
ont on tho platform, to keep it from be
ing stolen. She picks up her reticule,
fan, para--*-1. lunch-basket, small pot with
a house plant in it, shawl, paper bag of
candy, bouquet (she never travels without
one), small tumbler and extra vail, and
chases hysterically after every switch en
gine that goes by, under the impression
that it is her train. Her voice trembles
as she presents herself at the restaurant
and tries to buy a ticket, and she knocks
with the handle of her parasol at the door
of the old disused tool-house in lain
hopes that the baggage man will come
out and chock her trunk. She asks every
body ia tho depot and on the platform
when her train will start, and where it
will stand, and, looking straight at the
great clock, asks: “AVhe. time is it
now t" She sees, with terror, the liag-
gage man shy her trunk into a car where
two men aro smoking, instead of locking
it up by itself in a large, strong, brown
vui with “ Bod order, shops,” chalk©! on
th.* . hie, which hr. ha long ag" d, t- r-
mined to 1k» flu baggage car, a- the only
safe i'i;o in light. Although -he !u
at the depot, she is the Last together
ticket, and once in the car?, .die sits, to
the end of her journey, in an agony of
apprehension that she has got on the
rrong train and will he landed at some
‘.range station, put in a dose carriage,
drugged and murdered, and to every last
male passenger,who walks down the- aisle
she stands up and presents her ticket,
which she invariably carries in her hand.
She finally recognizes her waiting friends
on tho platform, leaves the car in a burst
of gratitude, and the train is ten miles
away lieforo she remembers that her ret
icule, fan, parasol, lunch bosket, verbena,
shawl, candy, tumbler, vail and bouquet
are on the car seat where she left them,
or in the depot at Peoria, for the life of

EARNING HIS PARDOS’.
Hold Attempt to K.rapr from IhrFrn.
Hfllair-
Early on Monday morning. Frank Smith
addressed a note to the officers of the
Penitentiary at Nashville, Tenn., in
which he stated that there eras a con
cocted scheme on the part of the convicts
whereby fifty were to effect their escape,
and that he would under no circumstances
reveal the secret unless he could lie as
sured of pardon. They might punish
him as much and as severely as they
chose, lmt this was the only condition of
its divnlgenco by him. He further prom
ised that if what he would tell was not
found to lie strictly true, he would yield
up the pardon and undergo any punish
ment tiny might see fit to inflict for hav
ing misled them.
After some consultation, and after
vainly endeavoring to locate the leaders
of tho plot in the minds of tho officers, the
matter was presented to Governor Brown.
As Frank Smith hail already served throe
years out of four, the term to which he
had Mien sentenced, it was agreed that ho
should be pardoned. The pardon was
taken to Smith and n-.ul to him. Not be
ing entirely satisfied, ho asked that he
might read it far himself, and after having
perils*-d it he said that Bill Smith and
Sam White had concocted the plot, and
hail intended to carry it into execution
within twenty-four hours; that a lame
convict had almost sawed in two the bars
connected with ono of tho windows on the
western side of the prison, and Hint they
intended to make their egress through it.
Should they fail in this they were to kill
the guard in thu hospital and escape
through it. The ward in which Bill
Smith and White were located contained
fifty convicts, all of whom were to folio*
them at a given signal.
The officers found, upon investigation,
everything as Frank Smith hail told them,
and thus the plans of the convicts were
thwarted. The lame prisoner had mode
applicat ion to tie placed in the ward in
which he had done the mischief, on ac
count of his foot, whirh had liecn very
'seriously burned, and Bill Smith did not
scruple to toko advantage of the idea of
a possible escape through him. Theisms
convict was to saw the hors in two, anil
while at work, sentries were so placed as
todefy detection bythe officers. Warden
Brown came in upon them from an un
expected quarter, ten days previous,
when, aoeing a squad huddled together,
ho demanded to know what they were
about. The lame convict responded that
ho hail only been washing his hands, anil
was then wiping them with tho towel. It
has now liecn ascertained that be accom
plished u trick of lcgonlomain which oven
the experienced eye of the Warden hud
failed to detect.
On tlio approach of the Warden, lie
placed his saws, which hod liecn mode
nut of carving knives and bo held them,
under tile towel, so as to lead to no sus
picion that he had been doing anything
wrong. Tho circumstance had hardly
lieon mentioned before the whole scene
was brought up viviiUy to Uio mind of
the Warden, who luid been fully satisfied
that all hod been right. Several of the
liars of the window already indicated wen-
found to have lieon sevens!. Bill Smith
hail even gone so far as to suggest to the
other convicts the propriety of snrrepti-
tioudy obtaining pistols, and of using
them should it become necessary to insure
their escape.
On receiving his pinion yesterday
morning from the hands of the officers of
t ho prison, Frank Smith thanked them all
for it, and, moreover, congratulated him
self at having liecn able to do them some
service, and at the samo timo to have thus
accomplished his own release.—Bathrifle

Money is more mixed with hyperliolo
than almost anything eke. A nun’s for
tune is almost never stated correctly. It
is doubled, trebled, quadruplet]. Occa
sionally a man dies who was supposed to
have boon modestly independent, and
proves to lie nearly rich. But generally
it is quite the Other way. The late Hor
ace r. Clark wac considered worth $10,-
000,000, nt leant, and he was not worth
over $3,500,000. Samuel N. Tike, who
built the Grand Opera-house, was thought
to have cleared $10,000,000 to $12,000,000
in whisky and real estate operations; and
yet, on settling his affairs, they showed
only $1,500,000. Elios Howe, the sewing
machinee man, did not leave one-fifth of
wliat ho was credited with. The fortunes
of Cornelius Vanderbilt,- Alexander T.
Stewart and Win. B. Astor are now repre
sented at $100,000,000 each, albeit it is
doubtful if any one of them 1ms half ns
much. Astor may turn out, wit hall his land
and leases, to bo worth $40,000,000; but
Stewart will not bo likelv to foot up over
$25,000,000. George Law enjoys the
reputation of having $10,000,000, though
lialf tho sum would, probably, l»c nearer
the fact. Peter Cooper ought to lx? put
down for $2,500,000, instead of $5,000,000;
Horace B. Claflin nt $5,000,000, instead
Of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000; E. S. Jaff-

August Belmont at $2,000,000, instead of
