tW-d some ibinz hat proved'they bad . found the wreck. They then proceeded to strip us, and feel of our limbs and bodies, after nbe ttncer of so rnmy butchers exainir.ins; the animals they imeni to felay. We remembered .jve Avere kmoDj cannibals,-trembled with terror, and regretted we had not perished with the vessel. Both of my companions were larger and eiouter than myself, and one was quite fleshy. - With him the savages teemed .much, pleased. They pinched and ratted him. and nodded to each m. m ciher with smiles hile he, poor fellow, with ashea trembling lips, and eyes half starting rora their sockets, looked the horror we felt, but which no language could speak. Next -in their approval was my other companion, but for myself they cared little ; and for once in my life I thanked Heaven for being small, thin, bony, and inuscular. After this exami nation they went out, carrying all our clo'.hcs with them. In the course of an hour they brought us a large dbh of boiled rice, and about a gallon of water, and then left us for the night. We had little appetite for eating, as may readiiy be believed ; end our feverish sleep, on the raoiit, bare ground, was filled with the most horrid dreams. , The storm abated about midnight, and the morning broke fair. At daylight six savages came into our prison wiihrope, and proceeded to bind our arm3 behmd our backs. They theu led us out to a sort of common in the center of the village. where mot of the inhabitants were col lectednearly every Indian, male and female, being attended by a Chinese slave of the sex. In the middle of the area as a circular wall of masonry, about five feet high and sixiy in circumfer ence; and around the inner tide of this wall, wis a tow of faggots. The largest cf ray craapanions was now separated from us, and bound back to tact wun a Chinaman of near his own size; and then, amid cries of terror from tLe two victims, and shouts of delight from the savage spectators, they were lifted over into ihe arena, and the faggots set or fire. - The spectacle which followed was horrid beyond descripiionj and the shrieks moans, nd groans of the poor fellows, as the flames encompassed and blistered their fiei b, and then literally roasted them alive, are ringing in my ears yet. Being lashed back to back, each ona, as he retreated from the circular fire, pushed ibe other nearer to it; and their struggles ia this way, made a fiendish sport for their tormentors, who almost, drowned their "fcoreams of agony with yells of laughter. .When at last they fell the down exhausted, they were left upon, the ground to bake till the fire burned out; then their dead and roasted bodies were removed and eaten, each one cutting off a lice to his or her liking, and devouring it. greedily. When all was over, my companion and myself were taken back to our prison, more dead than aiire in fact, wishing ourselves dead. We were kept shut up their for a week, andMhen he was taken out and roasted in the same manner, and I was left alone, the last surviver of that ill-fated crew. I starved myself as much as possible, for fear I should get into a good condi lion for their horrid purpose ; and after keeping roe a week longer, my captors signified that I might take one of the squaws to wife and have my liberty. The female selected for my partner was old and ugly ; but the hope of escape made me seem pleased with the revolting alternative, and thus I became a member of the infernal tribe. For a month I was closely, watched and 'guarded; but I affected to be so well contented with my new life, that .by the 'end of that time their vigilance; began to relax; and then I felt almost certain of being able to effect my escape to. the other side of the island, and their finding a refuge among another race; Meantime I had to be a witness of several other human roastings. Of the cannibals of Formosa, I have little knowledge beyond those of the vil lage in which I was for three months a prisoner ; but from what T saw I am compelled to believe the whole race are complete savages, without industry or art, and not a wit removed from the barbarism of their ancestors. It is true their houses and lands have a look of civilization ; but these they owe to the skill and labor of their captives, whom they employ or destroy, as suits their pleasure or caprice. Like the North American Indians, they are fond of athletic sports, and spend much of their time m bunting, nshing, ngntmg and marauding. They have war-songs and war-dances, and believe in some sort of religion, which principally consists in propitiating the evil spirit by means o the most diabolical human sacrifices ' Some cf the woman are .rather comely m appearance, but their natures are fierce and intractable, and their mora qualities of the lowest order. The three V ft months .1 was compelled to remain with these savages wa3 an age of horror and did more to break down my con stitulion than previous years of hardships exposures, and privations. At last I managed to escape in the night; and after concealing myself two days in a hollowtree, I pursued my way, with perilous adventure, and reached a large Chinese settlement in an exhaust ed condition. Mere, at least, i was kindly treated and cared for; and at last succeded in getting passage to Canton, and thence to my native land. But since my return I find I am not the same man I was before, and the recollection of the horrid scenes I witnessed often makes me shudder in my waking moments, and shriek out with terror in my sleep. A correspondent of the Ledger, in San Francisco, who has been up among the big trees of Calaveras county, Cal., sends us an account of one of them, which was lately f tiled. He tays: "The higbt cf this tree was 302 feet. Across the stump, five feet from the ground, it measured 25 feet in diameter without the bark, and 23 feet with it. I was 06 feet in circumference, at the ctump It"t?ck five men seventeen days and a half to bore it off the stump with pump augurs, and two days and a half more io drive end wedge it up with the buts of ctber trees to make it Jose its centre of Craviiy and fall to the earth. Its trunk was so straight and its branches so sym metrical that it stool, without a ehake, erea ia a t?h vizi after it had been coat- plte!y severd by ihe n-urs. Tbirty-uvo counle danced a sett on the stumD. and I there was room enough for the musicians and sppctatcrs besides. "It wis perfectly sound clear through." . Capt. Reynolds cf the U.S. steamer Lackawa nca has taken formal possession of Brooks' Island, in the Pacific,; for the United States- Dr. Kenu dy, the surgeon of the Lackawanna, made an examination of the new territory. He rppors it to consist of two distinct coral islands surrounded by a barren reef. The soil is thin, producing only -'low shrubs, herbs and coarse grasses, but wiih cultivation it can be made to yield pota; toes.J pea, beans, and perhaps other vegetables. Wells were dug by the ex ploring party, and water found at a depth of front four to seven feet. After filtration this water proved to b3 hard. and free from organic impurities in souliion. Dr. Ket neJy tj sitified that by diggtng-to proper depth a good supply of potable water can ba obtained. The island is a great'rescrt of sea birds, but very 'liule guano was leund. The lagoon- swarms with fi?h. " Wellesa Harbor", is a little larger than that at Honolulu safer, bu has less debth of water ; at low wate the depth varies from ill to 16 feet, I can be readily entered by vessels drawing less then 18 feet.

Address, II. Peterson fit Co., Philadel phia, Pa,, ... , .... r. In the good old times in Kentucky, when "substantial justice" was adminis tered in a log cabin, after a very free and easy manner, a $uit was brought to recover certain moneys of which it bad been alledged that the - plaintiff had been defrauded by the ingenious opera tions known as "thimble ngging.""' In the course of the trial, plaintiffs coun sel, who happened to be An 'expert,' un dertook to enlighten the court a to the modus operandi of the performance Putting himself into position, he produc ed the three cups and the "little joker," and proceeded, suiting the action to thi word : Then may it please the court, the de fendant placing the cups on his knee, thus, bgan shifting thern so, offering to bet that my client could not tell under which was the 'little joker,' meaning thereby, may it please the court, this ball with the intention of defrauding my cli ent cf the sura thus wagered. For in stance, when I raise the cup-so, your honor supposes you see the ball." "Suppose I see!" interrupted the judge who had closely watched the perform ance, and was sure that he had detect ed the ball as one of the caps was acci dentally raised Why, any fool can see where it is, and bet on it, and be sure to win. There ain't no defraudin thar." "Perhaps your honor would like to go a V on it V insinuated the counsel. "Go a V, yes, and double it too. and here's the rhino. It's under the middle cup." "I'll go a V on that," said the' fore man of the jury. " 'And I, and I," joined in the jurors. one after tbe other, until each one hid invested his pile. "Up P' said his honor. "Up it was, but the "little joker" had mysteriously disappeared. Judze and jury were enlightened, and found no dif ficulty in bringing in a' verdict in favor of the plaintiff, on the ground that it was the 4lderndesi"kind o' defraudin.' Jews are first rate citizens, all busi ness men. but keeners on a trade. Shar per than chain lightrjiug, there is nothing allowed to stand between thera and a trade. They seem to take es naturally to the clothing business as a duck does water. Not long ago a gentleman, 'who wished to-purchase a fins blue cloth in digo-dyed coat, called upon a Hebrew, in whom there is no guile," 8nJ look ing over his stock, found that which ap peared to suit him. . The purchaser was very particular to impress upon the seller that he wanted an indigo, not a logwood dyed cloth, the smell of the latter bcin? offensive to him. The coat was selected and tried on, when our Hebrew friend commenced his en comiums : . "Nowyust look at dat ! It vas feet you like de. paper on de vail. Dat is yust vat you want!" Yes," said the customer, "but ibis is net what I want. This is a logwood dyed coat. I do' like the smell-" 'My friem,'" say our dealer," dat coat is yim vat you vant. . It is not dat coat vat smells dat way ; no sir, dat ish me It is needless to say that the gentle man did not purchase. The Tennessee and Ylrpinia railroad hired fifty Legroes at Lynchburg ten dys before the election tr go 179t miles to work, with the stipulation that thy feuouid have fre transportation back la vote. After reaching their destioaion' return transportation was denied them ercu the payment of fare. The whole party, however, started back oo foot, and all reached Lynchburg ia time to rote.
