Waiting to llo Eaten.
Of the natives of New Georgia or
Rubiana, Capt. Cheyno avers that human
flesh forms their chief articleof diet. The
doctor observes: -It is ditHcult to specu
late on the reflections of the victim, as he
livc9 from day to day in constant expec
tation of his fate." There- is reason to
believe that this expectation does not
produce the agonizing terror which most
EuroiH?an8 under the circumstances
would exierienco. In tho time not very
far distant, when cannibalism prevailed
in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at
all events, tho custom of a chief when
starting on a war cxpeilition to take
with him, fastened together, a number
of men whom he already held as cap
tives; these men served as a living
larder. Each of them knew that his
turn to bo killed and eaten would come;
nevertheless with the certainty of this
doom lieforo him he pnnook of each of
his fellows whose death preceded his
own; and dipt. Wilkes, in his account
of his exploring expedition, stated that
King Thekaiubeau appropriated one of
the small islands of the Fiji group as a
human preserve. Every man imprisoned
there knew that he would ultimately
serve as a food for his majesty, and such
alike were the loyalty and indifference as
to death of these victims that, when
questioned by Capt. Wilkes as to their
feelings on tho matter, they expressed a

used words to tho effect that it was quite
proper that the king should be thus pro

Evolution ot the Colored Race.
The negro is changing m appearance
end losing some of the birthmarks pecul
iar to the African race. The now gen
eration is showing the effects of a higher
culture. Es)e:ially is this noticeable in
the towns where Contact with ihe whites
shows Its effect. The flat nosed, kinky
headed negro is passing away and be
coming an unknown race. All the col
ored children, no matter how dusky in
hue, show the change. Among the
females, long hair or that peculiar woolly
appearance, hangs in long braids or curls
down their hacks. Aquiline noses and
smaller mouths with thinner lips are the
rule. For years, and in - fact ever since
their freedom, tho negresses have en
deavored to do away with theshori kinky
hair bestowed upon them by their ances
tors. Much of their spare change is in
vested in various tonics and invigorators,
and the long attention and care bestowed
npou it is shown in their descendants.
The South Georgia negro is an evidence
of evolution, the survival of the fittest.
