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 ‘ ■ ' rhich.—MMM T H E her die can't tell wh Rrrier. 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 Banner, fld.

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.
