The New Hebrides Murders.

Press.

Wellington, Oolober 4 Mrs Malcolm Roas, who acted as the special ootrespondent of this journal on the cruise of the Waikare, and who had an in j terview with the missionary on Tanna and | his wife, supplies the following interesting I particulars of the island and iho state of the natives on it:—" Tanna is cue of the most southerly of the New Hebrides, and is remarkable for the magirfbence of its acthe volcauo <utd the n'trceness of its native tribes. ludeed, until recently, though wotkers in the mission field of Tmnu have been many, there has beeu no resale in the way of conversion, tho savages - for th.tt term literally describes them—preseivng their old fierce customs and beliefs; buD lateiy the young missionary who received the Waikare pusiengeis, and who it is to be feared l;as been killed, declared that things had been looking more hopsfu?, and that the native! had been wiOibg to learn i many things and to accept ihe rudiments of civilisation and of Christianity. This clergyman had been three ycara in the island, and had with him his young wife, the I daughter of an Aberdeen professor, and his little child of about a year old. As far as : the passengers of the Waikare could gather, there was no c ther white woman on the island. Port Resolution is the harbor nearest to the volcano, and there Captain Cook an chored his ship nearly acentury andahalf ago. He speaks of tho warlike natives, and to-day they are aa fierce and wild as they were in his time, wearing hardly any clothing, and carrying always loaded rifles, even the small boys being armed. These arms they g<t from the traders, and look upontheim aa the r dearest possessions. They are utiU cannibals. Only a week before the arrival of the Wai kare a feast of human flash was held on some recks near the landing place, and a little while previously a human joint had been &ent to the missionary. The natives were then at war with each other, though the missionary disclaimed any fear of their attacking white people, and declared he him* self was quite safe; but it was noticeable how grim and morose the Tenaese were com pared with the cheery and polite Samoems. Tanna it the most exquisite and fertile of islands, and woundroui shrubs and giant trees grow in'the rich volcanic soil, while myriads of cocoanut palms are to be seen. The roar of the great volcano it ever heird, and it it regarded with awe by the natives."

SAZNDEIJK .So Sons Euc alypti JExtrfiet. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at I Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Euoalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we bate :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Cli nic of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dri : Mossier, Director ?f the Medical Ciinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen a.id freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or bo called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpendnee, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— I By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through tae presence *»f acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting j tendency of resins and tennates. I if these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal j nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
