Our readers will recall the
Stanley -Jameson controversy
regarding an act or. cannibal
ism, at which the latter is said
to have connived. Following is
the account of the tragedy as
given in Jameson's book just
published.
"Tippu no, wno came in oe-
fore it was ever, told me that
they usually kill several people
and have a grand feast, for the
Wacusu are terrible cannibals.
Then he told me, among other
stories, that long ago, when
nirhtinjrnevrMatela.they killed
a great many of the enemy", end
the natives who were witn mm
being cannibals,5 there was not
a body to be found the next
' 1 T . ill. i a -
morning, iie ien me niui two
men will easily eat one man in
a night. Tippu Tib sent for
water in the night to wish his
hands and drink, the water be
ing in a well near Dy. nppu
Tiocoad not make out why,
when it was brought j it stuck
to his hands and was so oily
and bad to drink. Next day
Tippj Tib and several Arabs
went to the well to see wnat was
the matter. There he saw a
most horrible sight. ; The water
was covered with a thick layer
of yellow fat, which was run
ning over the side of the well.
He found that the natives had
taken all the human meat to the
well to wash it before eating.
"At th next place they halt
ed, he made the natives . camp
below him ion the stream. , I
told him that the people at home
generally consider such stories
to be only 'travelers- tales as
they are called in our country,
or in other words, lies. He then
said something to an Arab call
ed Ali, who was seated next to
him. Ah turned to me and said,
Give nie bit cloth and you see.'
I sent a boy for six handker
chiefs, thinking it was all a
joke, and they not in earnest
V resently a man appeared, lead
ing a young girl about ten years
of age by the hand. Then I wit
nessed the most horribly sick
ening sight I am never likely to
see in my life. A native plung
ed a knife quickly into her
breast twice. She then fell on
her face, turning over on her
side. Thre men then ran for
ward and began to cut up the
body, ending with the head, till
not a particlo remained. Each
man taking his piece away down
the river to wash it.
'The most extraordinary
thing was that the girl never
uttered a Round nor strugged un
til she fell. Until the last mo
ment I could not believe that
they were in earnest. I have
heard many stories of this kind
since I have been in ttiis coun
try, but never could believe
them. I should never have been
such a beast as to witness this,
but I could not bring myself to
believe it anything save a ruse
to get money out of me, until
the last moment. The girl was
a slave captured from a village
close to this town. The canni
bals were Wacusu slaves, na
tives of this place, called Macu
la." Ma. HarrjsoX, by the aid of
boodle, President of the Repub
lican party, is now being urged
to appoint the nine judges for
the Appellate Court. This court
was created by the last Con
gress. While not liking much
what the President of his party
does, we give him all due praise
for the excellent appointments
of a judicial kind lie lias made.
If he had done as well in all
other things his administration
would have lieen most com
mendable. We are gratified to
learn that he refuses to appoint
the now judges. 1 his is proper,
and he is to be commended for
it. We do not know as to his
riirhtto appoint, but we give
him credit for not attempting
an unwise or an usurping act.
It is even said that lie lavwrs
giving the Democrats some of
the judgeships.

MlsKlNMippl's Confederate. Dead.
To-day one week ago, at Jack
son, Miss., at half-past 10 o'clock
the procession began to move,
while cheers issued from thous
ands of strong livogs Behind
the last company and drawn by
ten white horses came a float
carrying fifteen young 1 ladies
representing the Sthern Con
federacy and the different States
which composed itS. Each bore
aloft a beautiful banner with
the names of the different States
handsomely embroidered upon
the centre. Every one was the
daughter of a Confederate vet
eran and every one was more
than fair to look upon, being re
garded as a belle tn her parti
cular State. i " ,
It was a magnifiiient tableua,
and cheers that greeted the float
as it passed from block to block
were deafening. These were
the fair representatives? Miss
Annie Stone, representing "the
Confederacy;' Miss Kate Por
ter, Maryland; Miss Courtney
Walthall, Virginia; Miss Corin

Miss Annie Howinsway, South

The bands played the Star-
Spangled Banner, Yankee
Doodle and Dixie. Twenty -one
Mississippi military companies,
and ten companies from other
States figured in the procession.
When the grand stand was
reached the exercises were open
ed with a fervent invocation by
Father F. A. Picheret,of Vicks
bur, a Confederate veteran who
had served through the war as
claplain.
The monument was then un
veiled by Mrs. Margaret Davis
Daynes, a daughterof Jefferson
Davis, amidst prolonged ap
plause, while the combined
bands rendered "Star-Spangled
Banner" and "Dixie." The
monument was formally pres
ented by Miss Sallie C. Morgan,'
the presentation speech being
made by Hon. C. E. Hooker. It
was accepted by Colonel J. R.
Mcintosh. Senator E. E Walt
hall, upon being introduced,
was received with loud and pro
longed applause.
His oration unon "The Con-
federacy"was a complete his
tory of the war from inception
to closo. He received close at
tention and repeated applause.
V hen he concluded Mrs. Luther
Manship recited with stirring
effect the poem by Rev. Father
S. J. Ryan, entitled "Sentinel
Songs.'5 Then Gov. Lowery
followed with a brief oration on
the life and charactar of Jeff
erson Davis, in the course of
which he said that when parti
sanship had given place
10 sober reason and judgment,
historians would accord the late
President of the Confederate
States the front rank among the
great statesmen of his day, as
well as those who had preceded
him. At the coucl asion of Gov-
ernor Lowery s oration the
bands rendered "America" and
"Maryland. My Maryland."
and with the pronouncimr of
the benediction by Rev. II. V,
Sproles, pastor of the First
Baptist church of tha city, the
exercises were brought to a con
clusion.
Itach disappointment was felt
at the absence of Mrs. Davis and
Miss Winnie, who were in New

"The farmers ask also for a
lower tariff, v A H new tariff bill
will be passed by the next

also pass the Senate and go to

that the Alliance platform in

' In an interview with Hon.
George D. Wise, of Virginia,
this well-known gentleman ex
pressed his unabated confidence
m Mr. Cleveland, and doubtless
represents the majority senti
ment of his State in this respect.
in Mr, a Wise's judgment the
Cleveland administration was
one of the, best the country ever
had, and he calls special atten
tion to the fact, as a great pomt
m me late President's favor,
that he made every effort to
break down sectional lines and
treated the people of the South
as citizens of a common coun
try rather; than a distinctive
part of it to bo discriminated
against. That was certainly
very commendable on Mr. Clev.
land's, part. It is high time
that sectionalism were done
away with. .
let Mr. Wise, in talking a-
bout the speakership, seems to
think that it were better for the
South to lay no claim to the hon
or. He would be satisfied to see
it go North or West. ,Why? Of
coursa on sectional grounds j
the very grounds that Presi-'
dent Cleveland in such a, broad
and liberal way sought to avoid.
Is there not a little inconsis
tency in the two positions?
If the time has come for the
obliteration of all sectional lines,
wny make an exception m the
case of the speakership? Whv
raise the question anew?- What
is the sense in brin2in2 out the
old iolitical map of the country

tioo south of a certain imazi-
nary but no longer existing line
one man is less suitable or less
available to preside over the de
liberations of the House than
some other m m who happens to
live north ot that line.'
If our Democratic friends are
thoroughly honest in their a
vowed ontagonism to sectional
ism, if sectionalinm is really the
dead thing that we are told it is,
and as Mr. Cleveland undertook
to demonstrate, the sooner they
down the ghost the better. Its

The Alliance Circular.
" The following is a copy of a
circular which is being sent to
all the sub-Alliances by r the
secretary of the State Alliance:
"We fought a glorious fight
and achieved a great victory
last year, but the war is not
over; the enemy to our order is
strenghthening his strongholds
an I entrenching himself in our
territory. It behooves us to be
more and more vigilant, to drill,
equip and prepare ourselves for
any attack upon our line. We
ought not to sleep nor slumber
until every Allianceman at
least, and as many outsiders as
possible, are induced to read
and post themselves on all our
demands, State and national,
and are thoroughly furnished
for the coming impending con
flict. On the 20th day of May,
in the city of Cincinnati, in the
State of Ohio, a new political
party was born. It is now a
reality, a fixed fact, and what
the effect of it is to be on this
State and nation remains to be
seen. It is more and more im
portant that our order should
remain intact, should decide and
decide intelligently, what things
are essential, and having de
cided stand together for our
homes and our firesides."

We hear of a certain pajier
outside of the State that has
9,000 weekly subscribers in the
State, and this is to the neglect
of faithful home papers. That
paper is a good one, but it real
ly cares nothing for North Car
olina or its interests. It never
defends the State or seeks to
advance its interests. It really
takes no more interest in the
affairs of North Carolina than
it does in those of Massachusetts,

to take your pajier for him to

to take your paper. But when
