both sexes used to bo cut off and hung in tho branches of this tree, which was some times perfectly loaded with this singular, mid repulsive fruit. The renowned canni bal ohiof, Thakumbau is known to have re velled in all tho abominations of cannibalism; undor this sacred t^oe. On ono occasion, for instance, ho cut out the tongue of a cap tivo chief who had used it to beg for a speedy death, and jocosely ate it before his face. .. i - :■ Revenge tho Motive. • My object, however, is not to write a chapter of horrors on cannibalism, which might easily be done, but simply to show that it is a terrible reality ; that it exists in New Guinea; and that its practice does not indicate the lowest type of humanity. Judging from my own experience of can nibal tribes, I am inclined to the opinion that the practice arose from revenge. Both in New Guinea and tho South Seas, ?o far as I know (with but one exception, the Tugarians, of whom. I shall speak presently), it is only the bodies of enemies that are eaten. Still it may have originated in connection with some religious observance. The religion of these natives has some peculiar features, and the use made of them by the'priests must tend to infuse a taste for those revolting practices. We are painfully reminded in history that the greatest refinements of cruelty and the most brutal disregard of human suffering.have Been at one time or another and in various places connected with religion at compara tively advanced periods of national progress. Baking and boiling alive have a_ terrific sound, and are regarded as indications of a very savage condition; but the slow com bustion by fire of the living heretic, the frightful tortures of the Inquisition, are facts equally remarkable for their cruelty and equally depreciatory of our nature, yet were not deformities belonging to our savage state. We are accustomed to hold the microscope over these natives, and exclaim with horror at their practices, when it might be well to turn it upon ourselve», and con sider some of the enormities associated with our civilisation. I can testify to the pos session of many noblo qualities by the can nibals. They are not deficient in courage, manliness, and even humanity, as some people foolishly declare them to be; and they are even distinguished for their hospi tality. Indeed, they are as a rule a good tompered, liberal people—greatly superior in these qualities to their lighter coloured neighbours who look down upon them. On tho S.E. peninsula of New Guinea, for instance, "we have the cannibal tribes occupying each end — those who are 'generally regarded aa their superiors being in tho middle. The latter bpeak with contempt of the former — although they take good care not to do so in their presence—and look upon them as being greatly their-inferiors.- Such is the blind, arrogant pride'of human nature. The fact is that the cannibal tribes make better houses, better canoes, better weapons, and better drums—and keepa better table, they would say—than their neighbours ; indeed, they exhibit great skill and taste In carving; and anyone who has visited both tribes will at once notice the good-natured hospitality of the cannibals, compared with the selfish ness and greed of their neighbours, who are incorrigible beggars. Still their cannibalism is the distinctive features which separates them from other tribes. And even cannibal ism has its degrees. Those in my district, at the east end of New Guinea, consider them selves quite respectable cannibals compared with their neigh bours in thed'EntreCasteaux Group. I remember trying to persuade some of thorn to accompany me on a visit to Nor manby Island, when they described the natives of that place as a set of degraded cannibals who oat every part of the human body, even the hair being boiled with the 'Mood and devoured. And yet, when visit ing one of the villages of these exemplary cannibals,: in company with Mr Chester (the police magistrate of Thursday Island) and Mr Chalmers, we were disturbed at night by a great noise in the village, and went out to see what it was all about. We found our friend the chief—a notorious old cannibal, who wore a necklace of small bones indicat ing the number of persons he had killed— mounted on the village rostrum, which ho paced most excitedly, as he poured forth what appeared to be quite an oration. Upon inquiry we found that the object of his vituperation was a woman in a small village about a mile distant, who had that day been visited by some friends from a, distance, and being anxious to place before them the best she had, served up the body of her husband, who had died the day before ! Cld Bony's proposition was that they should banish their wives, lest they should treat their bodies with like disre spect after death, His proposal, however, met with little favour, a native who stood near us jocosely remarking that he was only angry because they did not send him a piece. ■ A Horrible Crew. Of the cannibals in tho western branch of our mission the Tugarians are the most savage, warlike, and cruel. They are a cannibal tribe of pirate, who come from the west of the Baxter River and make periodi cal raids upon the villages along the eastern coast, -well known and greatly feared by the natives between the Baxter and Fly rivers, although no ono seems to know where the Tugarian village is situated. These can nibal pirates use long, fleet canoes, pro pelled by paddles, In which they steal along the coast and up the rivers and creeks, plundering, murdering, and making pri-' soners as theyfgo. They break the arms *and legs of the prisoners when taken, so as to prevent their fighting or running away, i and then keep them as fresh meat until required, cooking one or two bodies at a time. Their piratical voyages last several months sometimes, as they are in the habit of camping on the coast at different places after successful raids. The island of Poigu, at the mouth of the Baxter River, has been almost depopulated by these cannibals, who, however, are notalways successful. I remem ber being much interested in the Poiguans' account of the only successful encounter they over had with their mortal en«mies. On this occasion the Tugarians were seen approaching the Island tn the daytime in their outriggerless oanoes. The Poiguans, whose canoes have double outriggers and a platform, determined to make a desperate effort to save their families, homes, and plan tations j and so hastily collected stones, which they placed on the platforms of their canoes, seized their weapons and paddles, and hastened to meet the enemy at sea, where they hoped to have tho advantage over Jbelr'smqre, numerous and! powerful enemy. Their wivosand children watched the canoes approach each other, although not "in breathless silence," yet we can imagine with what intense anxiety. The Tugarians, flushed with success, and confi dent in their numbers, yelled and flourished their paddles at their insignificant foes. The Poiguans locked theirsmelds to protect the rowers, and approached the enemy amidst a shower of arrows. When close to them.they suddenly made such use of their stones and spears as to produce the utmost confusion amongst tho enemy, most of whose canoes were soon capsized and smashed. Many were killed, and the rest fled, leaving the Poiguans to return victorious to their rejoicing wives and families. Subsequent night attacks, however, have proved most disastrous to the Poiguans, only a compara tively few of whom now remain, and they are taking refuge at our misson station at Dauan. Two of our senior students hore aro Poiguans — real good, smart fellows. They are now engaged in evangelistic work in the Fly Paver.

Perhaps the worst defeat which the Tuga rians have ever suffered happoned"to them last year, when they attacked the Sai baians. Saibai is one of the oldest stations of our New Guinea mission. It is about three miles from Dauan, and a mile and a half from the mainland of New Guinea. The inhabitants until recently were desperate skull-hunters ; now many of their finest young men are in the Papuan Institute here preparing to go as evangelists to the Papuan Gulf. Tho Saibaians received a terrible warning of the approach of tho Tngarians. The latter, having fallen upon a village on the mainland opposite, and killed twelve of the inhabitants, were camped within sight of Saibai, tho smoke from their cannibal feasts rising before the eyes of those who, the Tugarians thought, were to bo their next victims. The Saibaians, upon hearing the news from some natives who had fled from the attacked village, at once assembled, held a counoil.of war, and decided to meet them at sea. Crossing over they met the canoe fleet off the New Guinea coast, and ac cording to arrangement, tried friendly overtures; but these were replied to by most warlike demonstrations. Tho Tu gariane, confident in their numbers, dis dained any peace overtures, and performed before tho Saibaians some very insulting acts, which aroused the war spirit in some of the Saibai men; but the chief restrained them, and it was not until ■he himself was wounded that tho order was given to return the fire. The Saibaian men, though comparatively few in number, had a rifle and two muskets, which they had obtained from their friends in Torres' Strait,.and these were a host in themselves, causing the Tugarians to beat a quick retreat, leaving fifteen of their canoes behind them.'. How many were killed or wounded (if any) is not known, tho canoes being abandoned. It is to be hoped that

they will not make their appearance new;., this year, although I hearfvCvisS" some inland tribes in that part of New Guinea a short time ago, that thoy had in formed some of their friends of their inten tion tobe revenged upon the Suibaiane if is during thiß calm season of the year'that theao expeditions are made, so theSaibaiaS are just now keeping a sharp look-out There is no doubt that the cannibais are very fond of human llesh. I remerhber whenatLifu, putting tha question plainiil W one of my pundites, who had been a note rious cannibal, but was at that time, and had been for many years, a deacon of the church and a very consistent, devoted and spiritually-minded man. I ae ked him to tell me honestly whether they, as cannibals really liked human flesh. The old man looked ashamed, and expressed a desire not to speak on the subject, saying that "those were dark days." I pressed the questiorT however, telling him that I.had an object in wishing to know the real state of the case He then solemnly assured me that although they had tasted fish, fowl, turtle, turkey beef, pork, etc., there was nothing so good as kuman flesh. No doubt he is ri*t Man is the best-fed animal, and I dare Bay if .we had a piece of well-cooked human flesh served up, without knowing ■■ what it wfa we should pronounce it to be the boßtbit of meat that we had tasted for alongtuni Considering the great liking that cannibali have for human flesh, and that, cannibalism very soon sneaks out at the back door when Christianity has entered at the front,, wa still behold the power of the old GospeloW the human heart—the response of ths ebul I ' however degraded, to the call of its Master! Cannibalism Disappearing. '•' ;il c> Cannibalism has received its death-blow' in Ifew Guinea. It may "die hard "in some E laces, but die it must. Not only is the ixe lid at the root of that terrible tre,e, but tig tree itself has been struck with a fatal bJoV that will quiver through all its branches carrying death to tho remotest twig.'.,'.. In conclusion, I will give two instancesof' how cannibalism begins to disappear beforg the march of tho Gospel of peace and love I Calling at the Engineer Group when visiting the eastern branch of our mission last year I, heard of their last cannibal feast. The chief Aualu, is a tall, powerful, notorious cannibal.' Near his house there stands a sacred enclosure made of carved slabs. Inside gf the enclosure the women are never allowed to enter. It is the receptacle of all tha human bodies taken in war. Here they are prepared for the cannibal feast, arid divided' amongst the villages. Unlike the cannibals . I have lived amongst in the Soutli Seas these people do not cook the bodiea whole;i and then cut them up, as they "do.pigs.' The warriors stand around whilst the \ victims are being singed with a torch and ' skinned, and then cut up iuto suitable par-1 tions for each village. The cooking is dona! in pots, and not, as in the South Seas, amidst hot atones. The victims of the last cannibal feast were from Brooker Island. The Com-' modore from Sydney, with two men-pf-war'' had been to punish the Brooker islanders ' for the massacre of Mr Ingrham's party and other white men. Aualu, who was !, a friend .of Mr Ingrham's, was hot at,' all satisfied with the punishment in- '* dieted by the Commodore. He coh'so-." quently assembled his warriors and .held'a . council of war, when it was decided thattiie Brooker Islanders ought to have a greater '. number of their people killed than they bad killed of Mr Ingrham's party. The war canoes were got ready, and Aualu started to "' avenge the death of his friends. They re- " turned t« their homes with twelve bodiea of the enemy, had a grand cannibal feast, ! and then promised the native missionary at * Teste Island that it should be the lasti.' ii They have lived in peace ever since, arid * seemed very anxious that I should locate a' 1 teacher amongst them. We have now staying with us an interest ing little Papuan girl about nine years of '*i age, who was saved by one of our native j, missionaries from a horrible death, under! circumstances which illustrate how cannf- ! balism recedes before the Gospel. Orie'V of our Lifu teachers, hearing that the/, natives of a neighbouring village, had brought home the bodies of two men'" whom they had caught and killed—also '' a little girl, doubtless the daughter of one of ! the murdered men, he hastened to the spot, and there beheld the two bodies lying , beside a large fire that was being prepared ' to cook them, the heads severed and placed by themselves, and a child still in the:, canoe, which was guarded by some natives . on the beach. He took in. the. situation at '' once, and saw that there was^io time to be lost. He had been living with the peopla ' ] for several years, and they had learned to" respect and valuo him, which he knew very w well, and therefore spoke accordingly. After, *! telling them how grieved he was to see,.'" them persisting in cannibalism alien" ' all he had said, he infoi-med tjiem ti'iat" his Master's commands woro that" 'they should leavo the pooplo who would not i receive their message, and go somewhere ', else; he should, therefore, be obliged to-■! leave them unless they gave up th6sebbdie3 '".'.] ■ to be buried, and spared the life of that child1 | by handing- it over to his wife. Tho'faet' ! that thoy ultimately complied witlitha".' teacher's wish.consideringthecircumstaneepj was to me, who knew something of what'it - meant to give up those bodies, a very pleas-,;';' ing proof of the beginning of a good vvprk',', amongst them ; and I am happy to say that ;' r there lias not been any cannibalism there,'; i since. Thus this horrible custom,',dii-';, appears before Christianity. | ;,' , '

Edited by Thomson \V. Less. Tho publisher has much pleasure In acknow ledging recoipt of the following testimonlafc from well-known agriculturalists and other practical colonists on tho valuo of tho above work :— Tho following letter is from Mr"Jambs Wai lack. Hillside, Papatoitoi. As one of the most practical and successful settlers in the Auckland district, hie opinion is of groat value. "Sir,- I have looked forward with a con siderable degree of interest to the publication o( BaRTT'B Colonists' Guide, and can now say that It has far exceeded my expectations. Hardly a day passes without my finding some thing in its pages both interesting and instruc tive. It is a book that should bo in every settlor's houso in the colony. Tho portion devoted to farming is fall of reliable" informa tion, and I have no hesitation in saying that il is the most comprehensive and useful guida for a New Zealand oulonist ever published." From 8m Geohop. Gbey, K.C.B.—" My dcai Sir,-I have kept in constant uso for upwards ef two months the copy of Brett'b Colonists' Guihb and Cyclopaedia of Useful Know i.kdok. which you were good enough to send nv. I have tcstud It in many ways upon a great variety of useful subjects, and am satisfied that it is by far tho beet work of tho kind I have ever seen. I fool that its merits and usefulness in re lation to all practical subjects, on which a settler's comfort and success depend, render it v necessary appendage to every home in New Zea land. — Faithfully yours, G. Gkey. — Kawau. January 7th, 1884." Mr John Wai.i.aw. of Both well Park, Waiuku (formerly of Flat Bush), who is oue of our earliest settlers, and has been for many years closely connected with o very .effort to pro mote the agricultural interests of the Auckland' district, writes as follows :— " Dear Sir,—l have much pleasure hi addlne my mite in warm commendation of Brett's Colon ists' Guide. It is a book that should be, not only in every farmer's library, but should also be on every colonist's book-shelf, no matter ! in what line of colonial industry he or ahe may be engaged. There is information for all. In looking backovoraporod of llyears' of hard colo nial work how much valuablo time and money inighthuve been saved if at the beginning such a fund of information had been available to guide us as is now within tho reach of all hi the shape of Brett's Guide. Colonists, who desfre to be worthy of the name, should not, from its ele gant appearance or the quality of the material, make it a drawing - room book, to be looked at and admired as one would a {ilcture or a ourio; they should have t on the mantlo-shelf, the BOfa, or the corner of the table; In fact, anywhere so that the eye of Father, Mother, Johnny, and Jenny, and even the helpß, may have a chance of look ing at It during spar£ minutes in the heat of sammer or the inclemency of winter. Mr Brett has shown pluck in bringing oat such a book, has been exceedingly fortunate in the selection of hia contributors, and I sincerely hope it will prove a financial success." From a Pukekohe Settler. Pukekohe, December 1,1883. Sin,—l have recently been presented By a friend of mine with a copy of yonr valuabh work. The Colonists' Guide. It contains we) written articles on nearly every subject ol interest to the Battler, except religion, wit! which it does not meddle. Those articles an evidently written by practical men, and contain the result of much experience in a compact am? readable form. Thus we have descriptions ol thebestbrcedsof Horses, Cattlo, Sheep. Poultry, etc., etc., for this part of the world ; and therou also a well-made digest of suoh laws of New Zealand as aro of special interest to the ordinary settler; indeed, tho book is a real Vade Mecum and should bo in the possession of every settle) in the Colony. — Yours respectfully, W. H. Mad ill. " Dear Sir,— Having subscribed for Breti'p Colonists' Guide, I beg to say that I am vcrj pleased with it The amount of practical infor mation contained in it is invaluable, and I con sider it the best 20s worth yet offered to th< New Zoaland Public. No settler or buslncsi man should bo without it. 1 think public opinion will say that you have conferred a boon on the colony by your spirited effort. Thanking you. personally, and wishing the publication every success, I am. Sir, yours truly, Noah Wood." Consul Griffin writes as follows with re ference to this work. As a gentleman of exten sive literary acquirements, and acquainted with tho valuablo library of practical works for which we aro indebted to the United States, hit opinion is noteworthy :— " Tho book is the most valuablo work of the kind published in tho Colonies. I have read every chapter in it with attention and pleasure. The extent, variety, and accuracy of its infor mation aro extraordinary. It is what it claims to be, a Cyclopaedia of Universal Knowledge. The insight that it gives into the most approved methoda of agriculture, the management of live stock, the dairy—in faot everything pertaining to farming operations—commend it to everyone interested in the prosperity of the cdlon'y. The editor has displayed most oxcallent taste and judgment;. All his ideas are eminently broad and practical. The arrangement of tho subject matter ißßlmply admirable. I am especially pleased with the articles on vinery, flax, fruit, and hop oulture. The abstract of tho local Government and land laws of this colony is the most Buccinct and intelligible that has come nnder my observation, whilst the printing, binding, and illustrations of the work are superb?1 Mr George Hoidship, Managing Director of the Anokland Timber Company, and a practical colonist of long experience, writes :— "Sir,—l have looked over your Sfttlers' Guide, and consider it one of the most useful and valuable books for the New Zealand settler ever published. The information is so varied, and the advice so practical. A single paragraph will often bu fouud worth moru that tho cost of the book. ' Mr T.- W. Hickbon, Estate Agent, Auck land, has contributed the following :— - "I have much pleasure in stating that, having carefully examined into Brett's Colonists? JHJtDB, Ihave no hesitation in saying I consider it good value foi'the price asked for it, in fact, worth ton and twenty tunes the money to umost anyone engaged in rural industries. ■.:.''■ >%■: -?-V: .'•;..''•: is "if- '.
