OF DAHOMY
la James.)
By Smilax.
It was at the close of a lovely day in
ti 10 leafy month of June, 1674, as the
l U st rays of the setting sun were gilding
the green plains and purple mountains of
Dnhomy—that upon the shore of a clear
lakelet which reflected the vine-clad trees
about it. there stood in deep meditation,
with floom on his brow, a chief of that
classic land. Scorning the restraints and
conventionalities of civilized life, he stood
naked and unadorned in native beauty,
fat sleek and greasy, like a s_ymetrical
statue of Jet. At length his broad bo
som heaved, as under the impulse of
mightv passion, and gnashing his sharp
tiled teeth, he exclaimed, “Revenge
Revenge!!' The sportive moneys in the
neighboring wood held their breath in
terror and the majestic Bull frog in the
lakelet in solemn voice exclaimed, “jug o
rum—Amen! , a
Just then emerging from the llower
decked, pathway through the forest, ap
peared the sylpli like form of a lovely wo
man. Nineteen suns of Africa had tan
ned her smooth skin and left on its fair
surface no pimple, no blot, no freckle
and no wrinkle. The black swan s neck
was not more graceful than hers. Her
ivory teeth were as sharp and glittering
as those of the polished saw ; under her
airv and elastic tread the wild flowers
arose uncrushed. Her tiny feet m®de
small tracts in the soft sand, while about
her beautiful head and low forehead clus
tered the crisp and shining kinklets. She
glided like an angel of Ebony up to the
side of the careworn and passion-tossed
chief and half in sympathy, half in sport
and the rest in love, she threw her soft
arms around the neck of that melancholy
chief and clung to his massive bosom.
"O, Woman! in our hour of ease
Fickle, coy an'l hard to p lease—
Variable as the shade
By the quivering A-pen made—
But when Pair, and Anguish wring tlic mortal brow
A ministering Angel thou ’
Lifting her soft dark eyes to the irate
chief, while the soft light of the crescent
moon added to her transcendent lov<? ■
ness, she enquired with tender solicitude,
• Gumbo, what de debil you cussm and
swearm so for now? Who make yon mad
my iub? Come lay you sorrow in de bo-
" 0 f dy faiffnl Queen and let me sole
your troubled spent wid de consolation
^bTowiv^ml tenderly the chief unwound
her soft anus from around his haughty
neck, and rolling his big white eyes upon
her lovely countenance, he exclaimed,
“Dat dam Cubby Jungo hab called me a
nigger, and say I is no gemmon ; wheres
upon the chief re-gnashed his sharp filed
teeth furiously. ... . , v -„
It is proper to state here that at this
date the King of Dahomy was Gumbo-
Gin-Jo-Makarta and that the King of a
neighboring province was Cubby Jungo,
who was king of Congo. He was a proud
and haughty Prince, ambitious and tyran
nical, looking with scorn and contempt
upon other princes of that <lay. Aboi
the year before mentioned this King was
scarce of provisions and so he sent a rt
quest to King Gumbo to lend him a few
slaves for food. King- Gumbo was proud
to accommodate the King of Congo so
he sent him one thousand of his young
est and fattest slaves, ready for the oven.
Iu a short time they were devoured and
Cubby Jungo sent to him for more, but
King Gumbo declined sending any more,
remarking imprudently that hereafter
King Cubbv Jungo “must eat Ins own
slaves and not live by spungmg on his
neiglfliors." This excited the anger of
King Cubbv Jungo and he replied that
King Gumbo was “a nigger and no gem
mon.’ This explains the great wrath ot
King Gumbo and which his beautiful and
lovely queen had attempted to appease.
much for History (see Mrs. Barnett
Stows Lives of African Queens, page
1776, 4th of July Edition.) To have
his best and fattest slaves eaten and n*
thanks was bad enough, but to be called
a nigger and no gemmon, was past all hu
man endurance. War—war to the knife,
was the voice of his indignant subject*.
On! On!! to Congo was the cry—Re
venge and Blood, tho watch word and
reply.
“Then wa* seen mounting in hot bastythe steed,
The mustering squadron and clattering car
Went pouring forward with impetuous speejl
And swiftly forming in the ranks of war.
The Historian has in vain esaayed to
describe the pomp and circumstances of
the “Grand Army of Dahomy.” Alas for
the pride of Kings and tho weakness of
Humanity, that so much precious life and
treasure, should be cast away because one
King said another was “a nigger and no
gemman.”
The night before the Grand Army
marched King Gumbo gave a great sym
posium to his high officers. Th* table

was soon to fall before the avenging Con
go; but such is the fate of Kings, the
penalty of Pnde and the fortunes of War
At the close of the feast the King who
was slightly uiebriated. filled a half gal
lon skull with Bourbon whiskey and
the success of the Grand* Anny
of Dahomy, uttering these memorable
and eloquent words, “Sink or swim, live
or die, survive or perish : I give my hand
and heart to this cause, and kin whip any
pusson as says I’s a nigger and no gem-
mon.” And to you my lnbby Queen Cof
fee Anna who I lubs more dan all de rest
of my wives, I gwine for pull out Cnbby-

make neckless for hang you round neck—as
I tink de suplemiey of vonr deflection
will make a beautiful contract wid de ob
ligation of de white teef, werry inwisa-
bly. To which the amiable and beauti
ful queen replied with much modesty and
to the admiration of all the assembled
nobility, “No my lub, keep dose teef for
you self; all I want you for do, bring
your lubby Queen piece of Cubby Jungo’s
libber for eat.”
The next day the mighty host moved
to battle. First marched 200 tom-tom-
beaters, 250 Banjo players, 300 bone rat
tlers and 400 cow-homists-—all playing
the national song “John Brown’s body is
mouldering in the ground, but his soul is
inarching on.” Then came the great
King mounted on his gaily caparisoned,
high metaled, prancing rhinoceros, fol
lowed by his spangled-starred banner, in
scribed “ God and Liberty—Fraternity
and Equality—Hell and Damnation.”—
Then followed the Field and Staff and all
the great Fetisli Doctors and Conjurers
of Dahomy. Then came the rank and
file of the Grand Army which like a long,
big, black shining snake wound its way
for miles through the green valleys, across
the rushing torrents, through the dark
forests and over the hills, up and down
the mountains and were lost from sight
in the hazy distance. Proud then was
Gumbo the King—proud of himself and
very proud of his “boys in black.” So
he halted his rhinoceros and took some
more Borbon and felt very happy for he
was now sure that he would get the teef
and liber of Cubby-Jungo, King of Con-
e°-
Meanwhile that astute sovereign was
not idle. He drew out his valient men
of war and summoned all of his great
conjurors, his wizzards and witches, his
snake charm ere, his banjo pickers, his tom
toms, his blow-horners, his Bummer-
Doodles and Yankee-Doodles, his Orang
a-tang-ow-tangs and boomer angs, and all
the other paraphernalia and deviltry of
African War.
Now among his great conjurers was
one who had made the foot a specialty.
He was a man 250 years old and was
called young Ham Beefy, to distinguish
him from old Ham who was an officer in
the Deluvian Navy under Captain Noah
of the ship Ark de Ararat—afterwards
called the Father of Africa, as wo speak
of Mr. G. W. Washington now, as the
father-in-law of our beloved country-
Now tliis great conjurer Ham Beefy went
at night into the camp of Dahomy, while
they slumbered and slept, and he put a
charm on all the infantry soldiers, where
by the hollow of their feet swelled out
as big, round and hard as a romanite ap
ple, at the same tune their heels were fill
ed with diminutive snakes, lizzards and
speckled spiders ; so that next morning
the soldiers could scarcely walk. While
it was true that the bail under the foot
facilitated the “right and left facings,’
it materially interfered with the perpen
dicularity of the soldier, while the elon
gation of the heel rendered the manoeu
vre of “right about face" difficult if not
impossible of execution.
That great Conjurer at the same time
put a spell on all the officers, even down
to the Lieutenants, Sergeants and Cor
porals, whereby their palates all dropped
down and their palate locks snapped off
at the first pull, dislocating their jaws
and leaving their mouths wide open; con
sequently they could nut speak or give
the necessary words of command. The
whole army of Dahomy was consequently
demoralized; and all by the act of one
great Conjurer, whose exploit on that oc
casion gave rise to the present aphorism
that “Knowledge is power.”
Finding his whole Grand Army conjur
ed and spell bound, the proud Kmg
Gumbo was compelled to sue for peace—
which was reluctantly granted by the
King of Congo—but not until he had
treacherously killed and eaten tlic unfoi
tunate King of Dahomy.
But why pursue further, this sad re
cord of crime—cruelty, blood and defeat.
Suffice it to say that in a short time the
triumphant King of Congo, took posses
sion of Dahomy, devouring all of the
slaves of King Gumbo and most of his
wives, including tho fair but unfortunate
Cuffy Anna. Most of the subjects of
thin enlightened and happy county)’ were
soon after sold to some pious Missions
ries from Boston, who brought them to
the rice and cotton fields South, and sold
thorn to get money to spend in the cause
of Religion and Liberty. King Cuffy it
is proper to say (see same History) re
constructed the Kingdom of Dahomy—
made many amendments to its Constitu
tion and created a new order of scoun
drelism called Scalawags and Bagget
Ca Among these enlightened citizens who

Missionaries, was one Cudjo-Rinn-Jun
Makarta, a son of the distinguished but
unfortunate King Gumbo Gim-Jo Ma
karta, and from him have descended some
of the most respectable persons of the
colored pnrsuasion in this State.

suits and by the power of his strong-

wheels of the Press, disceminating light
and knowledge over this land.

Government the world ever saw.
Mrs. Potter had made great prepara
tions, the starting had twice been post
poned, and now the day drew nigh for a
third and last call. The loving injunc
tiona piled upon Mr. Potter to be a good
boy while she was gone, and the oft-re
peated asseverations that she wouldn’t
be missed, that he’d be glad to get rid of
her, etc., had accumulated to such a
frightful extent on the head of that de
voted gentleman, that there was little left
for a bloated and reckless thermometor
to accomplish in reconciling him to the
change. Mr. Potter undoubtedly believes
that it “is not good for man to bo alone”
—in winter. But in Summer, with the
mercury at 120 in the ice-cellar, when
the streets are melting down into the
gutters and nothing is too much cover,
it is different. Besides it was a great
deal more healthy for a lady of Mrs. Pot
ter’s delicate constitution, to spend a few
months wit ', her friends in the country—
especially when a gentleman of Mr. Pot-
ter s fragile appearance wanted to go on
a fishing excursion in the mountains in an
opposite direction. Mrs. Potter s duty
to society required it, and Mr. Potter’s
manly devotion to the “lodge, made the
piscatorial path of virtue a necessity. So
the day arrived for a third attempt, and
Mrs. Potter was tearful, and Mr. Pctter
was much more cheerful than could ever
be expected under the circumstances. The
train was expected to leave at 9 o'clock
in the evening, and Mr. Potter was to
come home early and pack things in the
cool of the day. It was about three o'clock
on the hottest afternoon of this year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy four, when Mr. Potter saun
tered slowly down Pennsylvania avenue,
defending himself from the sun with an
ancient umbrella, looking at fishing-tackle
in the shops, and debating within himself
whether trout really have scales. It was
too hot to reason about anything except
cremation, so he stepped into Aman’s for
a cobbler and to get the very latest about
Tom Collins. There he met a friend who
was to bo one of the fishing excursionists,
and the conversation hiking the direction
of trout and claret punch, Potter inciden
tally mentioned that his wife w as to leave
that evening. Mr. Potter was quite cool
and agreeable now.
“But there is no train at that hour, ’
says the friend, on hearing the time men
tioned.
“ What*. ' replied Potter, incredulously
Then his friend drew forth a paper and
pointing to the time-table, said—“5,20,
my dear sir,” as coolly as if it had been
Potter's treat and the words, “Thank you
I don’t care if 1 do." If Mr. Potter left
so hastily a6 to forget to pay hi3 bill we
are morally certain a jury would acquit
him on the the ground of emotional in
sanity. In his flight he saw there was
time yet. At the Sixth street office the
ticket agent corroborated his friends
newspaper.
He purchased his ticket and asked for a
Pullman section.
“Have nothing but a single upper berth,
said the agent, looking out of the window
languidly.
“The duce!” piously ejaculated Potter
whose wife couldn't climb a tree.
“You might get one at the other office,
remarked the man, yawning,
The “other office' was a mile away to
wards the Treasury. But Potter was hot
now and he rushed into the street and
hailed a passing car so fiercely and went
aboard so defiantly that the conductor
was afraid to collect his fare. Having
got his section and imbibed the informa
tion that the baggage would be called for
in half an hour he steamed for home.
When he entered he frightened Mrs. Pot
ter into a comfortable fit by his appear
ance and frightened her out again im
mediately by stumbling through convene
ient piles of spring clothing in the middle
of the floor.
“That train leaves at 5:20,’ he burst,
out “and the man will be here in ten min
utes for the baggage.” .
“Well, then, I just cau’t go, that s all,
said Mrs. Pottir, sitting down to cry.
“Why not?” asked Potter, “what have
you to do?”
“A million things, smartly replied Mrs.
Potter. She always puts her figures high.
‘I couldn’t get ready to go iu that time,
if I was to be hanged ’—as if to be hangr
ed would be an additional inducement—
“and I won’t go at all if I can t this time
—that’s flat!” It was flat indeed, thought
Potter, and he coaxed.
“But, my dear, don’t you see I ve
bought the tickets and secured your berth
and telegraphed your friends to meet
you. Til pack in five minutes and while
you put on your traveling suit. Then he
tore away his wilted collar and seized the
nearest article and chucked it in the vann
ing Saratoga.
“Oh, dear! exclaims Mrs. Potter ex
citedly, diving for it; “wliat a fool you
are; I want to wear that!’
Then Potter went for a whole bundle
at a clip.
“Good gracious! James, cues Mrs. rot
ter, dropping the soap in the ice-water,
and again flying to the rescue, “you 11
ruin my bonnets—just look there.
“Now, Mary, look here,” says Potter,
drawing himself up threateningly, I
know how to pack a trunk and I m go
ing to pack this. You put your clothes
on.” . ,
And Potter, can pack a trunk: he can.
He plunged at the articles, and folded
and rolled and twisted everything into
the smallest possible compass and tucked
them away in comers and most unlikely
places, separating what should be pre-
;-r> nolrt arid iviirinL r others m the
thundering, and she hoped it would rain
pitchforks and omnibusses. She was si
juusually cheerful at this idea that Pottei
was in some doubt as to what use could
be made of mere than one omnibus—

THEIR NESTING PLACES.
besides they lived within three squares oi
the depot, he said, and if it rained the)
could take a street car. He could tell tht
neighbors afterwards, he went on sarcas
tically, that she had gone away. Bui
Mr s. Pottei- only sobbed, and Potter cami
down, as he always did, and assured hei
that she was the dearest little w ife he evei
had—which was quite true—and he was
sorrow—which left things still more indefi
nite. And then it did commence to rain for
certain. O, how it cam6 down! not mere
ly cats and dogs, but regular mules and
army wagons. The gutters overflowed
and the streets were rivers. They had
no time to wait Ann in arm they pad
died through, Mrs., Potter reminding
Mr. Potter thfit she told him so, and he
might have procured a carriage. Potter
led out lively with the umbrella and said
nothing, but his lips moved—perhaps in
silent prayer. The Ninth street car car
ried. them to the market-house and stop
pecL Right ahead the water spurted up
from the choked sewer and formed an
impassable lake.
The driver sw ore. Potter, we grieve
to say it,—swore also. But he jumped
out before the water reached them, and
started back for the avenue cars. By
running, and dragging Mrs. Potter, and
swinging a carpet bag, and yelling mur
der, the car w T ai6 finally overtaken. There
were but two squares to go but there
were only four minutes to go in. It was
an even chance. Just as they got off the
platform Potter heard the first bell ring
for starting. They fairly ran. There
was a great crowd near by, and loud cries
rent the air from some unusual excite-
inent.
You can t go through there, sir, said
a policeman, seizing Potter’s arm. 'There
was a perfect lake runnirg from the avenue
beyond the depot extending over the side
walks to a considerable depth. It really
seemed to shut off all hope. It was the
sewer.
“Ellenthunder!” observed Mr. Potter,
&avagely.
“Hack, sir—take you and lady right to
the door—no other way, sir—here, sir,
jump in—make the train, sir— said a
dozen drivers in the same breath, lashing
their teams through the shallow water.
“Make that train or I’ll kill you! —
cried Potter, rising to the emergency,— i
and iu they went, were landed in the very;
sitting-room door, and barely reached the
inside of the Pullman palace car as it
moved out of the depot.
Mr. Potter didn t go right home after
the hasty good-bye. He was too weak.
He didn’t forgive Mrs. Potter for that
untimely look of tr iumph, when they were
driven in to a carriage, for some time.
And then wouldn’t if he hadn’t thought
of her when she’d come to unpacking that
trunk.
Potter looked badly next morning. He
said if anybody couldn’t go to the coun
try with less fuss, the country would
have to come to town next time.
The sagacity of birds iu choosing as
,ites for their nests localities where they
viil be secure against the attacks of their
-nc-mies is well Ulustrated by several ex-
imples given by Mr. Belt. “On the sa
.’annahs,” says he, “between Acoyapoand
Sancital. there is a shrub, with sharp
curved pickles, called Virna jwaca
come here) by the Spaniards, because
it is difficult to extricate oneself from its
hold when the dreps is caught; as one
part is cleared another will be entan
gled. A yellow and brown fly catcher
builds its nest in these bushes, nnd gener
ally places it alongside that of a bunded
wasp, so that with the prickles and the
wasps it is well guarded. The author,
however, w itnessed the death of one of
the birds from the very means it had
chosen for the protection of its young
Darting hurriedly out of its domed nest, it
was caught just under its bill by one of the
curved, hood-like thorns, and trying to
extricate itself got further entangled Its
fluttering disturbed the wasps, who flew
down upon it, and in less than a minute
stung it to death.
The different species of orioles of tro
pical America choose high, smooth bark
ed, trees, standing apart from others,
from which to hang their pendulous
neats. Monkeys cannot got at them from
the tops of other trees, and any predatory
mammal attempting to ascend the smooth
trunks would be greatly exposed to the
attacks of the birds, armed as they are
with strong, sharp-pointed beaks. A
small parrot builds constantly on the
plains, in a hole made in the nests of the
termites, and several other birds hang
their nests from the extremities of the
branches of the bull’s-horn thorn.

The principal witness in toe present
case was no old weather-beaten sailor
named Jack Miller,—and a more perfect
specimen of the unsophisticated son of
the ocean I never saw. He was bom on
shipboard, and during a life of three-and
fifty years he had hardly spem a twelve
month on shore. It was a study those
two men;—the Judge upon the bench,
smooth as glass, and as polished, his
white hair brushed down as though every
particular silvery thread had been laid in
its appropriate place : while stem, unyeud-
ing dignity sat like frost-work upon
him,—the old sailor upon the stand,
gaunt and square shouldered; his swart
face scarred and corrugated like the shell
of an alligator ; his coarse, grizzled hair
not unlike the hirsute coat of a bear;
while his whole mien and bearing was
that of the man who had made up his
mind to take his chance, do his duty, and
trust the result to Providence—as he had
been wont to do all his life.
Now Jack was called to testify against
his shipmate, as he had witnessed the
assault, and interfered to terminate it, but
he was anxious to tell as little against Ins
chum as possible; and, furthermore, to
soften down and excuse what he did tell;
and this led him to be a little rambling in
his testimony. The Judge had been making
notes with a pencil, and as Jack was wan
dering off into an unnecessary explana
tion, he lifted his head, and evidently for
getting for the moment the exact stand-
in" of the witness—with his mind partial
ly upon his notes;—he testily exclaimed—
“Come witness, a<l rem, ad projrosi-
tum!—Don’t wander so.”
The witness stopped, and looked up
at the Judge wonderingfy. He repeated
the abstruse words to himself as nearly
as he could pronounce them, and then,
with earnest simplicity, asked,—
“Yer Honor, what does them words
m6ftn f
“Never mind, never mind,” returned the
Judge, with sn impatient wave of the
hand. “They are technical terms, used in
law, not for'men in your position to un
derstand. Go on—go on.
There was titter in toe court room as
poor Jack turned, rather crestfallen, back
to the examining counsel. Pretty soon
the witness sought to explain that Ins
shipmate, when he made the assault, was
not himself. Said he, half to toe counsel,
and half to the jury,—
“Tom were pooty hard on for it. ±ie a

The little smooth head of Judge S—
bobbed up at this point
“Stop, witness! I don t comprehend.
What do you mean by ‘doubling the tub,
dapping the admiral,’ and the other equal
ly ambiguous expression ?”
Jack's eyes snapped just a single spark,
and then his face was as calm and serene
as the bark of an old gnarled oak.
“WTiy, yer Honor,’ he replied with
patronizing respect and deference, ■‘thems
tecknicle terms, used on ship-board,
which it aren’t expected at men m yer
Honor’s position would understand.
While his honor was subsiding, a titter
broke loose in the court room which
would have swelled to a roar if the sherifl
had not sternly bitten his bps, and loudly
commanded, “Order!”— Waoerley.
