Fiji Atrocities.
MASSACRE OF ONE THOUSAND PERSONS FOR RELiNQUISHING CHRISTIANITY— THE VICTIMS FEARFULLY OUTRAGED. The Fiji Times of April 80th contaius
the following aceount of a series of fear-
ful outrages perpetrated at Tapitawa, one of the group of islands, on some of the natives who had abandoned Chris- tianity :—
The schooner Elizabeth returned from
a trading cruise on Sunday last, and
brings knews of a most horrible massacre
that had been perpetrated at Tapitawa, one of the line of islands. It seems that some years are a branch of the
London Missionary Society was estab-
lished in the island from Honolulu, under
the charge of a Sandwich{Islander name
Kabu, who succeeded in proselytising the
entire community. Upon their embrac-
ing Christianity he induced them to give up all their weapons into his care, and everything went smoothly for a while.
Latterly, howeyer, people living on the
southern part of the island became dis-
satisfied at the coustant requisition made upon them and apostacized. Kabu then preached a _ crusade against them, and arming his followers, led them on in person, beating two clubs to- gether and shouting ** Kill, kill.” The carnage which followed is almost too horrible for belief, not less than a thou- sand men, women and children having been indiscriminately massacred. The most atrocious enormities were prac- ticed on their victims by the victorious party, and after the general slaughter the wounded were collected together, and piled one on the top of another and the roof of an old house placed on them, which the miscreant Kabu fired with his own hand. When the Zlizabeth was at the island the beach was still strewn with the decomposing bodies of men. women, and children, but the arch- fiend in the transaction had‘beeu taken to
Honolulu in the Hawaiian vessel Storm-
bird to answer for his almost ineredible
crime.
As an instance of the dangers and difficulties which settlers in the North Western States of the American Union encounter which are unknown on the Canadian side of the border, it may be mentioned that the village ef New Ulm, in Minnosota, which was recently deso- lated by a cyclone, was nearly twenty years ago the scene of a terrible massa- cre by the Sioux, in which nearly every inhabitant was butchered, and for which 40 Indians were subsequently executed. The place was again settled by Germaus and Swedes, who gave it its present name. Last winter it was literally buried in snow, and was completely cut off from the outside world for the period of two months, And now it has been completely devastated by a cycloue. Happily, all these accidents are unknown in Canada.
Officials at St. Petersburg state that the Nihilists are now holding a general congress in that city, but that the Gov- ernment has been unable to discover where the congress is being held. It is believed, however, in some quarters, that their knowledge of the meeting and of the persons composing the congress is accurate, and that at the proper time a descent will be made upon the place. A Berlin despatch says; The Nihilists are holding a congress in, St. Petersburg under the very eyes of the Government, which, although fully warred of the fact, are unable to discover the place of meet- ing. ‘ 3m

ANOTHER ENGLISH ESTATE WAITING FOR CANADIAN HEIRS—A LAWYER LOOKING FOR CERTAIN WILLIAMSES AND Back- USES.
In the last few days an advertisement in the ‘‘ Personals” of the New York Herald calling for information in reference to a $2,000,000 legacy in England, for which the heirs are said to be wanting, has at- tracted considerable attention. On Friday the English lawyer who had inserted this ** Personal” wus called upon, and some particulars of the case were ascertained, which surrounded it with no little mystery. The first impetus given to the present in quiry was by the following advertisement, which appeared in the Herald 6f December 26, 1880 :— ;
‘* IMPORTANT — $2,000,000—Mrs. B. P. Backus, formerly 8S. A. Hayward, Balti- more, M¢., will send her addresses to Al- fred William Williams, executor of the estate of William Brown, England. This will, though contested since 1876, is now settled in behalf of the above named party. By order of the Executor. A. W. W.”
Brown, according to the statements of the lawyer, was a rich young country. gen- tleman from Yorkshire, England, whe came - to this country in 1873 in company with’ one Alfred William Williams, and travelled
siderable portion of the time in Boston, where he was well known. At the Parker House his name has been found on the register, and he is reealled as a tall, fine, hearty-looking Englishnian of lavish habits. He is also said to have lived at the Tre- mont House, but ef this no proef has thus far been obtained. Where he died is not known, but the lawyer in question claims to have received corroborative information from some lawyers that Brown’s estate in Yorkshire had been decided favorably to the rights of Mrs. Backus, nee Hayward, ef Baliimore, mentioned in the adver- tisement. Who Mrs. Backus was is a puzzling feature ot the case, and it is equal- ly perplexing to guess what her relation to rown could have been to have entitled her to the $2,000,000 Yorkshire estate. Will- iams was in New York last August, before his return to England. Ue stopped at the Astor Honse, where he is still remembered. It is now supposed that Williams, as weil as Mrs. Backus, has also died, and no trace has thus far been found to the heirs or kins- men of either of the three persons involved in the mystery. It is a remarkable fact in these days, when “‘ bogus” claimants to large inheritances spring up like mushrooms, that not a singie reply has been received by the English lawyers to the advertisements which have appeared in the ‘‘ Herald” for three or four ays. Williams was supposed to have been searched for the nebuleus Mrs. Backus last August, and te have died broken-hearted from the knowledge that the vast estate might be diverted from its rightful ovner, the fair Mrs. Backus, in case of his death. It is now seught to find the heirs of Williams and Mrs. Backus in order that they might accept the estate, but thus far ne success has crowned the efforts of the English lawyers engaged in this noble search of both hemispheres. Thus far there have been many English estates for which American heirs haye been advertised which have shown themselves of a rather shadowy and evanescent nature, but the English lawyer claims that there is no doabt of his cesey little $2,000,000 property ac- tually awaiting in Yorkshire the first true- blooded Williams and Backus who may turn up.
The Newspaper.
The newspaper greets the eye of the youthful intellect at its earliest dawn and goes with the buy and the man and the old inan daily through all the years down to the grave. It is growing faster thau any- thing else on earth. In 1704 there was ene paper in the United States with a cir- culation of 16,000 copies annuaily im a population of 600,000. In 1880 there were 6,000 newspapers with a circulation of 1,600,000,000 in a population of 40,000,- 000, In the earlier period an office printed afew dozen eopies per hour, now a good oftice throws off 100,000 per hour. It is making the air radiant and scintillatin with ideas, multifarious, multudinous an infinite in variety and eharacter and power. The pulpit, the platform, the forum, the school, the college, and every institution for the development of thought and the dis- semination of knowledge are not equal to it in power. There is no preaeher, no lec- turer, no lawyer, no institution which the united energies of a hostile and adversary press cannot crush and utterly destroy. Well might the great Napoleon declare that a newspaper was the regent of sovereigns and a tuter of nations and that four hos- tile newspapers are more to be dreaded than a hundred thousand bayonets. ©

Monteomery’s Sworp.—It appears that the sword which belonged to the gallant but ill-fated General Montgomery, whe fell before Quebec on the last night of the year 1775, has found a resting place with the family of the Livingstones, who have a family residence on the Hudson River, New York, and to whom Montgomery was closely related by marriage ; his wife, we believe was a Livingstone. Thus the old sword, after a detention of over a hundred years on the scene cf the battle and disas- ter to its owner, has now been restored to those who feel more deeply interested in its history than all the whole werld beside. It is stated that it was through the instru- mentality of His Excellency the Governor General that the transfer has been effected.
