An Escape from Cannibals. Mr. H. H. Johnstone, English consul at Old Calabar, Africa, teok a trip up the Cross liver to try and make treaties and settle quarrels among the natives that were injuring trade by their war fare. He had a most interesting time, J more interesting than he would care to experience again. At a place caiiea Ededema, he was pulled from his canoe by a mob of cannibals, slung on the shoulders of one of them and borne on ja rapid trot to the town. There he was placed in a hut with the - door open, while hundreds of savages' continuous ly stared at him. Looking upward he saw arranged around the upper part of the clay walls a horrible array of at least m hundred skulls, while a smoked hu man ham hung from the begrimed raf ters as an appropriate centre piece. His interpreters opportunely arriving, a j friendly palaver resulted ia his retu'i to tne canoe in tne same manner id Which he had been taken from it. -r-New York Witness. Boy Bullfighters.

Society The Highbinders, whose : atrocious murders and continual blackmailing operations have puzzled the police of San Francisco, St. Louis and Pittsburg, and whose operations in New York have so far been carried on with great skill and secrecy are an organization of Chinamen dating back to the Tai Ping or long-haired rebellion, which was entiroly subdued, it was thought, some thirty years ago in the Flowery Kingdom. The Highbinders belong to the Triad Society, : ' which' has been compared in China to the Nihilists in Bussia. - , On Centering it if-th-'Chinamin renounces all obliga tions his "famiryhls godsahd his fellow-men. Thenceforth he is the creature of his superiors in the Order. Political conspiracy and the raising of funds to bring about a restoration ofthe Chinese dynasty in .place of the Manchoo emperor now on the throne are or were the prime objects of the Highbinders through their parent " order, the Triad Sciety. Hence its close relationship ,to the Nihilists; v J ' But blackmail, pure and simple, en forced with the scourge and the long knife, has long been the main object of the Highbinders in the Uuited States. The trial of six Chinamen in St. Louis for blackmail and murder a year or two since brought out this fact clearly. In St.- Louis every Chinaman hot affiliated with the Tmdsjs ,assassedl7S cents blackmail arweelevTherVasasslnation'' for which the six -Highbinders. were tried in St. Loui3 . was peculiarly atrcK cious. - The term Highbinder, as originally, used in San'X Francisco, where it was first heard in. this" country, meant thugs..

V'dower The case of tho six Hihbiad1" the for tha murder of Law Johnson infgj Lcuia, called the attention, of the ena'e country to the spread of thl3 hidtr (Qrder. -t-The musdj of Johnson his assisting the police in grew out of break in" ,ur the camblinsr -business of 1 the ",Cbvo Goom, or Joe Gong, the ' leader ofhe Chyo faction in St Louis. Goom and hi3 friends agreed to pay $G0O for the; removal of Johnson." A distinguished member of the Hatchet Society :in 'Frisco, Ah Lung by name, and a High binder." who had servodaterm in the l San Qaenta Penitentiary, was "sent for. to do tho;removing, but, thero beings a hitch in tha-nattcr, ha didn't start ia time, so hat ; Chyo Chiagk, Qaong Seng and others not so eminent in the profession undertook the task.. They, found Johnson asleep in bei, . chopped him almost to pieces and then stood the body on its head in a bucket of rice and locked it up in a closet. They sent Quong Seng away with $15, promising to send hinvmore, but he was captured. He gave tEe police thee.0 tire story-in the case, and through . fear at? shaving violated the oath of the Hatchet Socie ty and dread of their vengeance, he went crazy in jail. Joe Gong and Chy Chiagk: were sentenced to death. The Chinese element ia New York and San Fran sis co has never since been quieted. Tho feeling in Mott street was such that the Highbinders were liable to be called at any time, the presence of Ah Lung, the past Grand Highbinder,, being an indication that the Hatchet Society is ready for busiaess. Another case of Highbinding was that of Sm L2?, at Troy. A Chinaman at Montreal borrowed $500 from another and Sing L?e was a witness. When a Chinaman borrows money it is with the understanding that ha will pay it when he can, provided the one making the loan does not want to go heme to China. Then he asks' for the money, and the borrower must pay it back, or if ho doe3 not be held responsible for what ever trouble may befall 1 the J-lender through delaying or preventing his de parture for horn;. , The borrower in tnis instance reiusea ip .TJay-roaeirtne money, and the leader entered suit for it in Montreal. The case was called; affd-' Sing Lee 7 was ; the most im portant witness.

Back soon. . -. ; . . Sura Lex." - Ap Sing Lee couldn't write a word of English suspicion was aroused and the murder discovered. It was proven, in deed,' that Sing Leo's removal had been considered formally at a meeting of the Montreal branch of the Hatchet So ciety. ' ; " When a Chinaman is found murdered the inference that he came to his' end by Highbinders is quite as readily drawn as that - of Mafia" responsibility for the' assassination of Italians. Both the Mafia and the Highbinders are atro cious organizations, as as 4 foreign in their aims and methods to American polity and nineteenth century society as it is possible for any bodies to be. New York World. Apple Love. . Scotland and in England the apple is a very popular divining medium in love matters. Part of- this popularity is probably due to the common notion that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was an apple tree. Horace men tions f he use of apple pips in love affairs. A lover would take a pip between the finger and thumb and shoot it up to the ceiling, and if it struck it, his or her wish would be accomplished. Nowa days a maiden test3 the fidelity of her beloved by putting a pip in the fire, at the sama time pronouncing .his name. If the pip bursts with a report, it is a sign that he loves her; but should it burn silently, she i3 convinced of his want of true affection for her. This is often performed with", nuts . instead of pips. Gay's Hobnelia experiments with the pips by placing one on each cheek, one for "Lubberkin: and 'tl ' "iother f or Bobbyclodj j ; "But Booby clod soon drops upon the ground, A certain token that his love's unsound; While Lubberkui sticks firmly to thelast.7 : 'Gay also .mentions the very common amusement of . paring'an apple without rbre.aking,.the "' peel nd then throwing the strip over tho left shoulder, in order to see the i initial" letter of the " lover's name formed by the jhape tho paring tal(es upon the ground. This is often one -of the many; divinations duly prac-t-tided on - Halloween or All-Saints Eve.

Every per son present fastens an apple "on a string hung and twirled round before a hot lire. The owner of the apple that, first falls off is declared to bo upon the point of marriage; and as they fall sac cessivaly, the order iri which the rest of the party will attain to matrimonial honors is clearly indicated, single blessedness 'being the lot of the one whose apple is the last to drop." ' Chamber's Journal. - - Traveling oh His Trunk. - -; Gold watches that" never -keep time have long been a favorite means of se curing transportation ; but tho American trunk is now coming into fashion as a medium of railroad " communication. The padlock critic of the Indianapolis (Ind.J Journal says: "Do you know that if a man has a heavy trunk he can sometimes travel a long distance on a railroad without a ticket or any money?'' said a young man yesterday, who had recently made his way back to Texas with but a few dollars. "When I reached St. Louis I had but five cents in my pockot, and . I did not know a man there I couW ask for a loan. I went to the ticket agent and making known , my condition, asked him how I could get to Indian apolis. IIavo you a trunk! he asked.

For the average blade two parts of glycarine to one of spirits will suffice.
