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. Choking a Cherokee.

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.

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.
