Savage Life in Africa.
An Englishman, Mr. J. A. Sketchly, has
jist returned from Dahomey, on the west
coast of Africa, and is now furnishing some
interesting illustrations from his sketch book
to the Illustrated London News. For six
months Mr. Sketohly was the guest of the
King* by whom he was very hospitably
treated. He is the only white man that has
been admitted into the private apartments of
the King. There is no town of Dahomey.
The capital is merely one of the royal palaces
with official residences for the high officers
and the servants; while the Amazons reside
within the palace in long, barn-like buildings
immediately outside and surrounding tue
King’s private apartments. At each of his
nine palaces there are 4,000 of these Amazons.
Before tyr. Sketchly was admitted to the
palace he went through ceremonials lasting
three days, during which be was created a
prince of the royal blrod*. a duke, and a gen
eral arm3, but not of the amazons. He
was then permitted to see the various customs.
He was an eye-witness to the grand annual
ceremonial when the principal human sacrifi
ces take place.
For the sacrifice called the Men-hoo-who,
the king reclines on a wicker-work lounge in
his palace. He wears only a blue cotton robe,
as be considers his dignity so great that h e
can afford to dress in ordinary clothing.
Neither the king nor the members of the
royal family ever dress in gaudy attire.
Above the king’s head an umbrella is ex
tended, and this is gorgeous with scarlet,
blue and yellow figures, cut out with a knife
from velvet, silk and damask. The Amazons
sew the pieces together, so as to form em
blematic devices. The bird is indicative of
royalty. None but the princes of Dahomey
are allowed to adopt it The top of the um
brella is surmounted by a wooden ornament
representing a man with a bird in his hand.
The Amazons are seated around the king.
Between them and the people a number of
bamboo rods are placed in a line upon the
ground. Any man who crosses one of these
rods suffers immediate death. Soldiers bring
in the victims—slaves taken in war, and gen
erally old men. They are gagged by means
of a stick with grass rope wrapped round it,
which fills up the whole mouth, and is tied
at the back of the head. Their hands are
fastened together, and they are firmly bound
to baskets which are carried on the soldiers’
heads. Their bodies are entirely naked,
save a single cloth around the loins. Conical
hats are kept on their heads until just before
decapitation. The prime minister lies pros
trate and receives in that position a
message from the king to tbs victims. This
message is to be carried to the father of the
present king, who died about nine years ago.
For their subsistence on the way he
gives them each a bottle of rum and a bead
of cowries. * The men are then taken to a plat
form twenty feet high in an adjacent court
yard ; there they are cast headlong, still
bound to the baskets. The executioners then
cut off their heads and exhibit them to the
people ; after which they are placed on wood
en altars to ornament the palace gate. Three
days afterward the heads are taken within the
palace, where they are cleaned by the Ama
zons, and then used for State drinking cups,
ornaments for drums, fiagstaffs, and other
pu 'poses. The bodies of the victims are drag
ged by the crowd through the market place,
and are finally thrown into a ditch outside Ab-
omey, where the hyenas soon make short work
of them. Thousands of skeletons are in this
ditch,but not a skull. The men appear to have
no fear of death. Mr. Sketchly states that
he has frequently looked into a man’s face
just at the moment when he was about to
Lave his head cut off, and not a muscle
seemed to indicate either motion or fear.
The present king is more merciful than his
predecessors were. He is endeavoring to re
duce the fearful sacrifices of human life en
tailed upon him on his accession to 4he
throne by the customs of the country.
He generously spares the lives of half the
number of victims intended for sacrifice. No
women are ever killed for sacrifice, although
they like the men are brought out on the
heads of the Amazons, to be carried around
the court yard.

AW NOTICE.
A. C.
Van Buren (Ark) Press, August 19.
John S. Childers, a Cherokee half-breed,
was charged with the murder of Reyburn
Wedding on the 24th of October, 1870, in the
Cherokee Nation. He was found guilty at the
fall term of the United States Court, 1872, and
sentenced the 17th of May, 1873. We copy
from the Fort Smith Herald the closing scenes
of his life:
At 1 o’clock precisely, under a guard of six
deputy marshals, headeM by United States
Marshal J. B. Sarber and Captain C. E. Ber
ry, he was led from his cell to the scaffold, a
distance of about two hundred yards, and
paced the ground with gnm,easy tread, man
ifesting that cool indifference and courage, i i
you piease, that his gray, rambling eye de
notes.
He ascended the scaffold as easy aud steady
as any of those on guard over him. On the
way to the scaffold he was supported by Mar
shal Main and Jailor Berry, followed by Par
son Harrell.
Childers kept np the same cold indifference
and smoked his cigar with as much nonchal
ance as if the affair was none of his. In his
remarks he referred to witnesses Vannoy and
Eakhart; says the tyne alleged was not cor
rect. He quibbled some, and finally admit
ted that he was the murderer of Wedding;
that he had a failing out with Vannoy, and
to get even with him had murdered a man
from Vannoy’s State—Kansas. He did not
tell what he fell oat with Vannoy about
He gave the usual caution to young and old
to beware of bad company and bad practices,
He stated that it was the only murder he ever
committed by himself. He regretted it, and
now forgve all, and hoped to be forgiven.
He had no regrets, only leaving his sister
and his friends, and asked that his body go
not to the doctors, but that his sister be per
mitted to have it for burial io the Cherokee
Nation. _
He spoke sixteen minutes, and was followed
by Itev. Mr. Harrell in a few eloquent re
marks, followed by a prayer which brought
tears to tbo eyes of many.
Miss Emma Foreman, a Cherokee friend,
visited him on the scaffold.
The sentence was read by Jailer Berry, da
ring which time C. moved not a muscle.
The rope was adjusted by Marshels Barry
and Mesler, and the prisoner offered a prayer,
the black cap was placed, and at 2 o’clock p.
m. precisely the drop fell, and the soul of the
murderer, the poor, unhappy man, was
launched into eternity. Alter the fall ho
lived and breathed 14} minutes, when he was
pronounced dead and the rope was removed,
and by the marshals present he was placed in
his coffin and taken to the grave.
Just as the drop fell the heavens darkened,
and terrible thunder and lightning set in as
the soul of the murderer took its flight into
eternity.
Alter he fell he made no struggle, only a few
slight throes and quietly passed into eternity.
His neck was not broken, yet the arrange
ments were all so perfect and complete that
the whole affair passed off as well and as or
derly as could have been expected. Tharo
were somo two thousand persons present, of
all shades, colors and sexes, from the prat
tling infant in arms, to the old and gray
headed, and everything passed off without
any disturbance; the police regulations were
so perfect it could not have been otherwise.
Thus has passed from time to eternity a
man who admits his guilt, and may it be a
warning to all to avoid his fate.

A Powziirtx Fish.—It will be remembered
that some months sgo fire fishermen were
drowned off the Irish coast by the straggles
o/> sun-fish to escape. An interesting dis-
* casslou afterward arose as to the size of this
kind of fish. Mr. Walpole, one of the in
spectors of salmon fisheries in England, inti
mated that Mr. Brady, inspector of Irish
fisheries, had grossly exaggerated their size.
Mr, Brady has, however, coma off victorious
in the controversy. This fish takes its name
from its habit of remaining almost motionless
at the surface of the water as if enjoying the
influence of the sun's rays. Cuvier says it is
the largest of the trite fishes, measuring
sometimes thirty-six feet Its liver is of large
size, generally two tons in weight, and yields
from six to eight barrels of oiL The sun-
fish are very powerful in water, and if har
pooned in the shoulder, are very hard to kill,
often carrying off the whole harpoon line.
They sometimes run off with 900 fathoms of
line and two harpoons in them, and will em
ploy the fishermen twenty-four hours before
they are subdued. Great caution must be
need in striking them, as with a blow of the
tail they will stave in the boat if it is
within reach. From sixty to one hundred of
them may sometimes be seen together off the
~ Ireland basking in the morning sun
coast of
in the latter part of June.
