FIENDISH AMAZONS,
Travelers Witness Horrible
Executions.
VICTIMS WERE SHOCKINGLY MUTILATED.
Little Hope of Ever Stopping What
They Call 'Customs."
A letter from Paris, giving details of
the adventures of Dr. Bayol, tho gov
ernor of Kotonou, who was imprisoned
by the larig of Dahomey, appears in The
Vossischo Zeitung. Dr. Bayol himself
was not ill treated, but was forced to
witness tho most horrible executions,
and was closely watched night and day
by three of the most important chiefs.
He was forced to be present at the exe
cution of his secretary and Ids interpret
er, and was a spectator of the sacrifice
at one time of eighty-four human beings,
and at another of forty-two. The vic
tims were bound, mutilated in a horri
ble manner, and then, still alive, hung
up by the heels. Then their bodies were
opened with large round knives and the
intestines taken out, after which tho
corpses were thrown into a "place of
skulls." where in forty-eight hours they
were reduced b' birds of prey to skele
tons. Dr. Bayol was every time compelled
to view each corpse, while the execu
tioners carefully turned the heads of
their victims toward him. Upon one
occasion he desired to buy off some ne
groes, whom he recognized as proteges
from Porto Novo, but the king angrily
refused to allow it. Every day his dusky
majesty danced before the doctor, exe
cuting steps and jumps which would
have been highly entertaining under other
circumstances. At these times the king
wore sandals and a sort of Grecian cap
on his head, and six Amazons danced
with him.
The Amazons Dr. Bayol describes as
very fiends. One day the doctor wit
nessed a spectacle which he will never
forget. At a sign from the king 500
Amazons rushed upon a living ox and
tore it into pieces in a few seconds; then
each, with a piece of raw flesh in her
mouth, marched off singing, while five
of their number held the skin and head
of their victim aloft in triumph.
In festal garments they witnessed from
the roofs of tho neighboring huts the
human sacrifices of the next day and
laughed heartily. They always appear
perfectly resigned and go quietly to
death when their turn comes. The king
is very suspicious, and would not sign
the letter written to the president of the
French republic. Dr. Bayol's return to
tho coast was extremely dangerous, for
he had no passport and was therefore
obliged, in spite of illness, to march
more than fiftj- miles in ono day through
country with which he was quite unac
quainted. On arriving at Kotonou he
heard of the dedth of the king, whom,
had he been still at Dahomey, he would
have probably been accused of poison

Senior Keeps on Writing.
My mother often went to Bowood, and
used to tell a good story against our old
friend, Mr. Nassau Senior. Once when
she was there with the Seniors and a
large party Tommy Moore, who lived
near and was a frequent visitor, was pre
vailed upon to bing. All prepared to
listen to the harming performance save
Mr. Senior, who sat down at a small
writing table and began to write with a
quill upon Lord Lansdowne's very ribbed
paper. He was compiling a paper on
statistics, or something of that sort.
Moore began, but his singing was ren
dered impossible by the persistent
scratch, scratch, and he turned round to
see who caused the odious noise. Mr.
Senior looked up and said innocently,
"Oh, you don't disturb me, I assure you;
pray goon, I rather like it." This caused
an outburst of laughter absolutely puz
zling to the unconscious statistician.

ISabbuge.
Mr. Babbage took me one day to see
his calculating machine, and was might
ily amused at my emphatic approval.
I never could do my sums, ftnd asked
him to give it to me. He also showed
me a wonderful automaton figure, made,
if I recollect right, of silver. He called
it his wife, and I was rather afraid of
the silent lady as she moved her arms
and head in a graceful but rather weird
fashion. Mr. Babbage generally looked
so sad that I remember when my grand
mother was telling me the story of Pyg
malion I exclaimed, "Why, it is just
like Mr. Babbage and his wife." My
parents and he quite agreed on one sub
ject dislike of music which my father
always described as "a noise which pre
vents conversation." Mrs. Ross in

on all the lakes, ponds, rivers, streams
and brooks in the country. Every Chi

Thero are innumerable hatching estab

of which are said to turn out about fifty

Critical Periods In Life.
There are two periods of life in which
the powers of resistance to adverse influ
ences are excessively weak. In infancy,
from birth to 5 years of age, but espe
cially in the first year of existence, the
power of life is very feeble, and this is
the reason that so many infants die sud
denly in convulsions. Again, after the
ago of 65 is passed the vital tenacity is
lowered, the substance of the heart and
of the muscles in general becomes fatty,
and there is imminent liability to sud
den failure of the heart's action. Chatter.
Our Little Knowledge of Greenland
There are two questions in chief that
lend romance to Greenland, one of which
is akin to the delightful, unsolved problem
of an open polar sea. the other having to

j ment of America before Columbus, whoso

chronicles, but whose sequel no man can
' read. Nordenskjold has made two at
: tempts to break through what he con
siders a belt of thick ice surrounding a
central part of Greenland not glaciated
in the samo way. if at all. Ho argues
that Greenland is comparatively flat, and
does not breed glaciers from a central
! lofty ridge like the Alps; those glaciers
I which produce- icebergs for distribution
over the North Atlantic aro in his view
' phenomena local to the sea coasts; if we

' the real Greenland, by no means a tropical
land, of course, but ono capable of sup
porting the small but rich and quick
1 maturing flora of the Arctic "circle, and, as
a necessary consequeuce, tho living fauna
of such a region.
1 Tho mora romantic question is tho old
1 one, What became of tho Icelandic settle
ments on the east coast? Access to that
coast by sea is almost always hindered by
floes and masses of icAergs; from the
land side the iuland ice blocks tho way.
Esquimaux havo not been slow to afiirm
that descendants of the old Norse settlers
linger on that inaccessible spot, and love
to add that ghosts of early Scandinavians
, haunt the glittering fields of hummock,
crevasse and underground river which
j present such an impenetrable front to
hunters and explorers. Tho general
1 opinion is that the Norseman of the east
I as well as the west coast dwindled and
, merged with the Esquimaux from choico
I or from necessity. Attempts have been
. made to assign this or that trait of the
Esquimaux of Greenland to an infusion
of Norse blood. It is certain that during
the last few centuries Danes have inter
married readily with the Esquimaux, and
that the children are remarkably more
handsome than their parents. New York

When Washington laughed.
It has been observed that Washington
seldomed smiled and never laughed. This,
however, is not correct. Ono instance is
mentioned by a gentleman, well known
lor lus veracity, with a aegreo 01 sang
froid. At the timo tho troops were en
camped at Cambridge, information was
received at headquarters that the iuigusn
wero about leaving Boston to give them
battle. All was bustlo and confusion.
Tho soldiers wero strolling over tho town,
and tho officers wero but ill prepared for
the approaching rencontcr. Some of the
generals wero calling for their horses, and
others for their arms; and among tho rest
was Gen. Greene, at tho bottom of the
stairs, bawling to the barber for his wig.
"Bring my wig, you rascal; bring my
wlgl" Gen. Leo diverted himself and the
rest of tho company at tho expense of
Greene. "Your wig is behind the looking
glass, sir." At which Greene, raising his
eyes, perceived, by tho mirror, that tho
wig was where it should be 011 his head.
Washington, in a fit of laughter, threw
himself on tho sofa, and tho whole group
presented rather a ludicrous spectacle,

Women Slake Good Swimmers.
The records of the humane societies on
both sides of tho Atlantic show that of
late years a fair proportion of their medals
tail to tho lot 01 girls, mere were sev
eral notable instances of rescue from
drowning last summer by girls under
twenty. Many women are accomplished
swimmers. This is but natural. As
their bones are generally lighter than
those of men, and their flesh more buoy
ant, they havo less difficulty to overcome
in acquiring tho art. Somo of them could
float at their first attempt, if they could
acquire the requisite faith in tho power of
tho water to hold them up. Swimming 13
very much an art of faith, for it is gener
ally tho case that when a person believes
sufficiently in tho buoyancy of tho water
to trust to it his precious body, lol he is
a swimmer. There were young girls at
Newport, last summer, who could float
pn tho surface of the ocean with no more
difficulty than they experienced in lying
upon a sofa. They could havo floated for
hours, if necessary. Some of the roost
famous swimming feats havo been accom
plished by very young women. The

Customs of Incllsh Sportsmen.
When a London man is asked down to
join a shooting party, ho would not take
Lis "loader" with him, as his host would
expect to find him a "loader," for no man
loads his own gun in England; it is tho
(luty of a servant. But if ho were resid
ing In tho country ho would expect to
tako his "loader" with him, and ho could
"shoot with two guns;" that is, ho would
bring two guns, as tho delay of waiting
for ono to bo loaded might loso him a fino
shot. It is considered a great offense in
England if a man is "noisy" when out
shooting, loudly talkative or boisterously
merry or given to exclamations when a

ALASKA THE FUTURE EL DORADO.
t Plenty of Gold in the Alleghany Eange,
but Hard to get at.
1
"Probably nine-tenths of all the gold ob
tained by man has leen taken from placer
deposits, and our American experience lias
been no exception to the. general rule," re
marked an experienced mining operator in
speaking of the past and future of this valu
able product tho other evening. "Previous
to 1S47 our total gold production amounted
to -512,000,000, but between 1847 and 18S7
about 81,7.10,000,000 were contributed to
our stock of gold. "Of this, nearly three
fourths came from placers deposits. In 1S."0
50 we obtained more than $."0,000,000 per an
num in gold from the placers of California,
and almost nothing from gold bearing veins.
Now, with an annual production of J.TO,000,
000 about one-half only is from placers. Our
own territory has been so thoroughly ex
plored that 110 considerable superficial de
posits of gold are likely to be discovered, and
nearly the same thing can be said of the en
tire world.
"In the northern extension of our western
mountain ranges in British Columbia and
Alaska there are probably important depos
its of gold. It is likely, however, to come
from this region in a moderate but perennial
stream, aud not in a flood. Great difficulty
will attend the working of those mines 011
account of the cold, long winters and the
difficulty in transporting supplies. Unless
the mines should prove richer than expected,
there may be a dearth of gold iu the near
future. In the Alleghany belt of mountains,
in this country, there are large deposits of
gold, but they are difficult to wort. Still,
industry and perseverence may make theni
pay a profit. Mexico may be expected to
turn out $1,000,000 a year, but no more. The
west coast of South America yields little but
silver.
"Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil have, on
the contrary, always been producers of gold.
It is estimated that from Brazil alone more
than 81,000,000,000 iu gold were obtained
during the first 300 years after the advent of
the Portuguese. Colombia and Venezuela
are now yielding about $4,000,000 each annu
ally, and little more than that can be ex
pected in the future.
"Australia produces about $30,000,000 a
year, and we cannot hope for more than
$o00,000 aunually from Asia. That will
cover it all. I don't fear that you and I will
ever suffer from a famine of gold, but unless
the North American deposits are richer than
is exected someone will suffer." New York
Mail and Express.
I Hack Work and Journalism.
Is the hack work of literature worse for a
man's body or soul than the hack work of
other professions.' Whatis here meant by
hack workf In the literary profession, es
pecially among those who write about it, it
is common to hear work "done for the book
sellers" contemptuously treated as hack work.
The contempt is often just, but not neces
sarily. Johnson wrote his "Lives of the
Poets" for the booksellers, Southey wrote his
"Life of Nelson" for them, yet these are
works no sane man treats contemptuously.
Every man who depends solely on his pen for
a livelihood must, even if he can steer clear
of the newspapers, do much work which he,
if he be wise, and the world certainly, will
willingly let die. If he be an honest man, a
man of proper self-respect, he will do it as
well as circumstances will let him; but needs
must that circumstances will sometimes
prove too strong for him. Yet it has been
that work so dono has, by happy chance be
come a part of the world's patrimony. In
short, as treason, says the epigram, may be
come patriotism, so hack work may become
literature.
Then, again, in every profession practiced
by man there must necessarily be some pre
liminary drudgery, some period of appren
ticeship to be endured before he can lie
proclaimed free of the guild and qualified to
set up for himself. For some men, of course,
this period never passes; for some it passes
to no puqiose, and it is, perhaps, hard to say
that this will always be tho fault of the man.
In journalism, alone of the professions, the
time of emancipation can never come. It is
j the peculiar lot of the journalist that he can
' never set up for himself. He is merged in
j his paper; like the actor of the Athenian
: stage, his face is hid in a mask, and ho
speaks in tones not his own. He must speak
iu tho tones of his party or that iu the
j church, in the state, in trade, or in some
j other one of the many channels into which
I the great current of human affairs is par
I celed. Macmillan's Magazine.
The Good Wives of llulgaria.
Bulgarian peasant women are extremely ro
bust and hardy, though the- are as a rule
short of stature. They are thickly set, their
ehests well developed and their limbs mus
cular from constant exercise and toil in tho
open air. Their Tartar origin shows itself
in their high projecting cheek bones, short
snub noses and little, twinkling ej'es.
Social life among this class of the popula
tion differs from that of the Greeks chiefly in
the position of the women. A Bulgarian
bulka, or good wife, takes an almost equal
sharo with her husband in the bread winning,
and, consequently, her word has consider
able weight in the family council. Like all
women in the east, she is sober and thrifty, I
Keeps at least the msule ot Iter house clean and
tidy, cooks palatable food, spins, weaves,
knits and sews all tho clothes for the family.
Her wardrobe consists of two suits, one the
gala costume, in which she was married and
which will last her a lifetime for Sundays
and prasnik, or feast days, and one of the
same pattern, but more homely material, for
working days. Tho former consists chiefly
of a long linen garment worked round the
borders and seams, a cloth coat richly em
broidered, a largo apron nearly covered with
the same ornamentation, but no petticoats;
and 011 the head a bordered white kerchief
artistically arranged and fastened With silver
pins aud strings of coins. Woman's World.

of which was trailing in the water. Feel

An Independent Telegraph System.
There has grown up among the farmers of
1 a county in Michigan a telegraph system,
! which miir lit trenemllv ha HxipndeH thmno-h.
out the rural districts everywhere. The sys
tem began by two farmers connecting their
houser by a wire for their own convenience,
and operating their line with tho ordinary
Morse instruments. Gradually other farmers
extended the line to their houses, and after a
timo the wire was run into a neighboring
villa ga.
Seven years ago the combined farmers and
a few village merchants organized them
selves into a company, and it has since been
extended, until now it has sixty-five miles of
wire and ninety offices, two-thirds of the
latter being in farmhouses, and nearly all
the rest being in stores, where these farmers
do all their trading. One or two newspaper
offices, as many more railroad friegbt offices,
the county telephone exchange and the
larger postofficesare all connected. Every
farmer is his own operator, battery man and
line repairer. Of course, any quantity of
private communication is kept up between
the stockholders of this independent system.
There aro two or three indepenpent systems
ul " uncs in operation in the county, ar
ranged so that they can be connected with
each other at intersecting points, and the
whole scheme is being worked very cheaply
and successfully. Baltimore Sun.
A Sanitary Tlew of Cremation.
While 1 am not a member of the crematory
association, still I favor cremation as a very
proper manner of disposing of the dead. As
it is something of an innovation in this
country, there aro in consequence only a few
as yet who prefer It to tho old and time hon
ored way, but 1 look for many converts to
the new method. After all cremation is not
such a terrible thing as some have pictured
it. It simply accomplishes in a few hours
natural order would require
years. The body is bound to become ashes,
and the intense heat of the crematory re
duces it in a few hours; whereas in the old
way it takes a longtime before the reduction
is complete. There are many good argu
ments used in support of cremation which in
the course of time will make it more popular
among the general public. Viewed from a
sanitary standpoint there is no doubt that
it is far superior to interment in the usual
way.-Dr. J. R. Whitwood in Globe-Democrat.
Advice to the Overworked.
Nervous people worry most, but they also
work most Well, the question one is in
clined to ask himself when he feels something
wrong with his health is: "Am I over
working myself T' I would answer thus: "If
you really enjoy forking, it cannot injure
you very much; but, on the other hand, if it
is force work, and you find little pleasure in
it, then it -will tell on your constitution."
But many people cannot afford .rest. Well
but wonders can l done by taking exercise'
by breathing only fresh air night and day
indoors and out; and by careful regulation
of the diet In conclusion, let me entreat of
you, as you value your happiness, not to
neglect first departures from health. The
story of tho reservoir has really a moral for
every one of us. Cassell's Family Magazine.

"Hiding the Yellow Pony."
In the Founders' day procession In New
Haven one of the "Lancasterian school boys"
led a yellow pony. Few knew the signifi
cance of the pony until it was explained that
Mr. Lovell, the old schoolmaster, used to dis
cipline his pupils by laying them out, face
downward, on tho yellow school desks and
applying a rawhide where it would do the
most good. This he called "nding the yellow
pony." It is said that the man who led tin
pony in the procession deserved tho honor,
for he once, when a boy, rode the yellow
pony twenty-four times in one day. New

Friction Increased Electrically.
Methods and apparatus have been devised
to increase tho tractive power of locomotives
and other self propelled rail vehicles by in
creasing, electrically, tho frictional adhesion
between the driving wheels and tho rails. It
Is claimed that tho tractive power can thus
be nearly doubled without increasing the
weight of the locomotive, and that sleet and
