COOK IN THE TONGA ISLANDS COOK PR EPA It EI) FOR COOKING A VERY GOOD YARN. We recently published from the Albany Evening Times the an nouncement of the death of the cel ebrated eurgeon, Dr. Cooke. W. H. Dolmage of this city, who has been an intimate friend of the Doc tor's for many yean, informs us that Dr. George Cooke was 92 years old on the 8th of March last; that he first came to this country in 1812, as surgeon of a British war ship ; that he went bock to Eng land at the close of the war with this country, and returned to New York in 1820. He then went to South America for s short time, returned to New York, and, in 1830, located himself in Albany, and established a dispensary and attained FAME AND WRALTH. For many years past he made fre quent and long visits to this city, where he had purchased a delight fully located residence on the Os wego river. This property he after ward sold to Mr. Dolmage, but continued his periodical visits to the Dolmages and enjoyed their hospitality. Mr. Dolmage relates many thrilling incidents in the early and ventursome life of Dr. Cooke, one of which we give in the verita ble words of the relator,: "In 1807 Dr. Cooke, then but geon of the British man-of-war Belcher, which was cruising off the Tongs Islands, went ashore with twelve of the crew to gather herbs for medical purposes. They were all captured by the natives, who proved to be cannibals. They were immediately bound with strips of bark and thrown into a sort ot hole or cave in the side of a bill and kept there until tiie next morning. During the night the unfortunate victims beard TBS YKtXS OF THE SAVAGES, Who were preparing tor the horri ble feast of the morrow. In the morning they were brought out into the light, unbound, stripped entirely naked, again firmly ban daged, trussed, and laid upon their faces on the ground in two rows and about four feet apart. The male savages who had assembled from the surrounding islands in large numbers, formed a circle, the inner diameter of which was about sixty feet, and the woman and chil dren were placed inside the circle. The latter beat tomtoms and yelled in fiendish chorus, while the males, performed a devil's dance tor fully an Lour. This done, twenty-six brawny and naked savages the whole gathering of demons, old and young, male and female, were per fectly nude twenty-six powerful savages advanced; two of them seized each of the victims by the hair and dragged them about 4,000 feet to a sandy beach, upon which THE COPPER-COLORED SUN .Sent down its fierce, autverinir. broiling and unobstructed rays. Here was gathered wood in thir teen piles one for each victim and the savages were seating them selves in groups around each pile. Another ring was formed around Dr. Cooke and his companions, and a short dance was performed, when, at some signal from the chief a magnificent brute, nearly eight feet tall and made in proportion advanc ed there was a dead silence. The hungry-looking savages sank on theirhaunches upon the sand, licking their chops like famished wolves. "The chief then approached the helpless victims and began a criti cal examination of the physical con dition of each. He lifted their upper and lower lips, examined their teeth ; drove his powerful thumb into their arm-pits ; pressed his hand upon their ribs, felt ot their legs and arms, all the while wearing the expression ot A BLOATED EPICURE. "During the progress of this ex amination the thirteen fires were lighted, and added their heat to that of the relentless sun. The chief finally approached Dr. Cooke, turned him upon his back, wreath ed his hand into his hair, and lifted him upon his feet. The savage marked with his finger upon the loins of the trembling Doctor the portion of the carcass be had se lected for himself. As he did this the eyes ot the ssvsge and his din ner met. The Doctor inadvertently, and more by a spasmodic aetion of the muscles than otherwise, gave s semi-Masonic sign. The chief stare 1 and gazed fixedly upon the Doctor's face. The Doctor repeated tin sign. 7'he chief answered it, and immediately uttered aery of amaze ment, followed by some gibberish, which ws received with a yell of disappointment from the whole gathering of demons, who sprang to their feet and rushed upon the Christians. The chief swung his ponderous war crab and plastered the bound bodies of the Ed glishmen with the brains of s score of the heathen devils before you could ar ticulate Jack ltobinson. He then gave a command to s subordinate, who came np and with a sharp flint cut the bonds of the white men and they were free. " 7'he bodies ot the savages just killed were stewed down in six potash kettles which had been east ashore from s wrecked vessel in 1804, snd the horrible wretches glutted themselves upon the bodies of their late comrades. Dr. Cooke and his men stayed upon the island four days, during which time they were guarded with great care by the chief, whom the Doctor chris tened Chul Chug which is canni bal for life-preserver. They were treated with great hospitality, and escorted by a long procession of savages to the beach, where their boat lay, when they took their de- Grture. It seems some five years fore the date of this narrative, su English Captain was cast ashore from a wreck, he being the only one saved. He managed to get into the good graces of Chul Chug and gave him the first two degreee of Masonry. During the four days that Dr. Cooke remained on the island he gave 'Chul' five more degrees in consideration of which 'the heathen savage' was overcome with gratitude. The Doctor re turned to the island in 1809. He found there a large and flourishing Masonic lodge, and two mission aries from England, one ot whom was roasted and eaten in honor of his return." Mr. Dolmage has beard Dr. Cooke say that whenever his mind recurred to that fearful scene on the sandy beach, he (the Doctor) could feel the stubby finger of the giant savage tracing the choice parts ou his body.

The greatest river in the World is the Mississippi river, tour thousand one hundred miles long. The largest valley in the world is the valley ot the Mississippi. It con tains five hundred thousand square miles, and is oue of the most fertile regions of the globe. The largest lake in the world is Superior, which is truly an inland sea, being four hundred and thirty miles long, and Very deep. The longest railroad in the work! is the Pacific railroad, over three thous and miles in length. The greatest natural bridge In the world is the Natural bridge over Cedar Creek in Virginia. It extends across a chasm elghtv feet in width and two hundred and ttlty feet In depth, at the bottom of which the creek flows. The greatest mass of solid iron in the world Is tin great Red Mountain, near Birmingham, Alabama. It is three hundred and fifty feet high, and fifty miles In length, of almost solid iron ore, the largest and richest deposit known In the world.
