The Cannibalism Story.

For some weeks Mrs Jameson has been in the heart of Africa, engaged in making careful inquiries to test the accuracy of the cannibalism story in which ber husband was implicated, as having bought a child, who was killed and eaten by the Native forces belonging to Tippoo Tib at Stanley Fails. Mrs Jameson visited her husband's grave, and bas held personal interviews not only with the chiefs and warrior?, but also with the carriers with whom ber husband was brought into contact. It is said that sha will shortly return to England, when she will publish a reply to the story which was told by Stanley as having been told to him. It is also said that when Mrs Jameson's book comes ont it will create a sensation. Very recently Tippoo Tib, who baa jast arrived in Zanzibar, was interviewed about the Jameson incident-, and he gave assurance that Jameson himself was quite innocent in the matter, and that he could not have prevented the act of cannibalism had he wished to do so.—Exchange.
