TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
* Si^Allow me, through the medium of your columns, to call the attention of the Town Board to the state of Willis street, which in this wet weather is not much better than an Irish bog. For a street which is a continuation of the principal of the thoroughfares in the city, I consider it simply disgraceful. I am, &c, A Ratepayer.
In the course of a recent discussion at the Ethnological Society, Mr. Craufurd affirmed that no people ever resorted to cannibalism which had plenty of animal food. The introduction of the liOjf had done almost as much to root ouc cannibalism in New Zealand as Christianity Professor Huxley alleged, on the contrary, that cannibalism exists even where there is abundant animal food, and argued " that the first thing which naturaliy occurred to a man was, not to love his neighbor, but to eat him."
