AFRICAN BARBARISM. *B(irr.d Practi o of the Natives of Africa —People Juried Alive with Limbs Broken in Case of the King’s Death. I rom the Jfeto York Sun. In records of African travel that are several centuries old may be found accounts of a horrid custom which exists almost un changed to day. It is the custom of making human sacrifices at the death of a chief or other important member of the tribe. The practice still prevails in most parts of sav age A'frica. The victims are usually slaves or the wives of the deceased persons. The manner of putting thorn to death differs widely in various parts of the Continent, but one of the most frequent practices is to break the arms and legs of the poor victims and bury them alive in the grave of the person in whose honor these unfortunate men and women are sacrificed. Dahomey has been most notorious for these atrocities, but through the influence of the whites, •which everywhere in Africa is producing such great changes for better or for worse in the condition of the natives, human sacrifices, it is said, in Dahomey are no longer made. How little the world has done for the Dark Continent in past ages is shown by the fact that though the countries near the sea t hrough which the Lower Congo flows have been known for four centuries, nothing has ever been done to save from this cruel fate thousands of weak and helpless ones. The soil of Portuguese West Africa is still stamped down every year upon the writhing forms of scores of the victims. It should be enough to enlist the sympathy and support of the whole world in the great work of the Congo independent state to know that it has determined that this form of savagery shall cease throughout its vast territory just a-s soon as the reform can be brought about. The rumor reached the stations on the 'flower Congo a while ago that King Chint badje of Banda SeeUa, one of the largest native towns on the river, about forty miles from the sea, had sacrificed the lives of ten women at the death of his father. Governor General Janssen at once sent two officers with a military escort to Banda Secha. He told them they might find that the report was false, but that at any rato it was time to convince all the chiefs that the State would not tolerate such atrocities, and also to show to certain merchants who had concealed facts relating to human sacrifices in which chiefs upon whom they were dependent for trade were implicated, that the State regard ed the security of human life as of greater importance than commerce. Mr Janssen told the officers that even if they found the report baseless, it would be well to let the chiefs know the role the State proposed to play. In the report which Mr. Daenen has made of the interesting visit of himself and colleague to Banda Secha he gives a graphic and picturesque account of the peaceful means the young State is adopting to im prove the condition of the Congo natives. “Banda Sacha,” he says, “is the largest town I have yet visited in Africa. Sur rounded by lands of great fertility, the natives raise abundant harvests, and enjoy a certain affluence. Their huts, ranged iu order, are mostly built of bamboos, and the residence of the king rivals in comfort and neatness the houses of the whites. When we entered the village I requested that King Cbimbadje assemble his chief men for a palaver. The king’s head man, bearing the* keys of the royal hut, came to meet us. We were received with respect and cordiality, taken to the king’s house and seated at a table covered with white cloth. After native wine had been served the king entered. He is no ordinary negin. He is tall, finely proportioned, wears his beard neatly trimmed and is decently clad. He speaks Portuguese and a little English. He sat opposite us. Behind him as many of his men as could conveniently get in ranged themselves. Others stood outside the door aud a large crowd collected. “The king, through an interpreter, asked the object ot our visit, I told him I had been sent by the great chief, Bouia Matari, upon a peaceful mission, and that he might reply without fear and in all sincerity to the questions I wished to ask him. He replied that he bad confidence in Bouia Matari. and tliat he was ready to answer truly. Then 1 told him that I had heard that on the 'occasion of the funeral of the late king, Ins father, he had lulled ten women and buried 5. them with his father, and I demanded that he tell me the circumstances that had led to these sacrifices. Cbimbadje smiled and re plied that the white men had been deceived, and that he could not explain tho circum stances that led to the sacrifices, for tho reason that no person had been Lille 1 at his father's death. We made the most diligent, inquiry, but were unable to find any proof contradicting the king’s statements. I endeavored to make the natives comprehend that the State would not tolerate such horrid practices and that all who were responsible for such crimes in the future would he prosecuted without pity. “I also did all I could to destroy the influ ence of the fetich men and I tried to show the chiefs by argument and example that the power of these comedians was simply imaginary. I dare not affirm that we have completely succeeded, but I am convinced that our exhortations will find an echo in Banda Secha. I also sought to demonstrate) to Chimbadje that it was to his interest to submit to our laws and customs and I as sured him of the protection of the State so far as his actions wore not blamable or inhuman. He said he had been faithful to the State and mentioned the fact, which is true, that lie had refused to furnish men to the natives ofMateva in their wa# against the State. He asked for some flags of the Congo State to raise over his villages and I promised to bring him several when I next visited him. The palaver was then over, and the king introduced to me his son, a fine looking boy about 13 years old, and several of- his forty wives.” If the Congo State becomes in the course of its development a really great power in Africa, and if it adheres to its present desire to sternly repress all the manifestations of savagery that destroy human life or bring suffering upon the natives, the civilized world cannot hut wish it God speed in its beneficent mission. THE COLONEL FACED DEATH. Reminiscences of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee. Robert W. Ryress, a Philadelphia mil lionaire, sailed on Saturday for Europe. Ac companying him was James L. Truebart, of San Antonio. Tex., who hud accompanied Mr. Ryress and a party through Mexico as guide and interpreter. Mr. Truehart stop ped for three or four days in Philadelphia, und whilo there had a casual meeting with Prank A. Leahy, who was in California at the time of the tragic death of Yankee Sul livan. Truehart contributed some interest ing chat about law and order in Texas and Mexico to-day, and Leahy dug up an inter esting reminiscence about the California vigilance committees of long ago. It was in the year 1853, he said, that the vigilance committee found itself with an im- Jtnense amount of business on hand which called for immediate attention and action. Having discarded the cumbrous machinery and the slow methods of the courts, it began work expeditiously. Among the men they had under ban was a criminal against whom there was information to bo obtained before t he committee would tie justified by its self imposed regulations iu proceeding to ex treme measures. Tho members, all of whom were men of influence and position, know ing that they were acting outside the pale, if not aiisolute defiance of the law, ere always slow to convict without the most jsisitive and overwhelming evi dence of guilt. To secure the testimony in the case in question it was necessary to sub mit to their process of inquiry a United States army officer named Ash, whoso rank, I think, was that of Colonel. His office was on the comer of Kearney and Washington streets, np stairs, opposite the Plaza. A messenger from the committee wiis sent to him with the usual credentials. You must understand that oil persona connected with the committee were looked upon as “offi cers,” this dignity attaching even to the errand boy. You can easily imagine it was very risky to question the’ authority of one of them, especially when he came from the committeo in nil official capacity. The mau who was deputed to call upon Col. Ash was a determined fellow, and so was the soldier upon whom he culled. When the messenger had presented his credentials and conveyed the demand of the vigilantes for the Colonel's presence, the latter brought his piercing eves to bear upon his visitor, and raising himself to his full six feet of noight, said sternly: “I recognize no offi cial from a vigilance committee. Neither do I recognize the committee. Leave mv office!” The messenger retorted with a spice which was equal to the army officer’s haughtiness: “While you. Col. Ash, repre sent the laws of the United States, I repre sent the gallows, and one, too, which ope rates with needless ceremony.” _ This reply was too much for the choleric Colonel. Ho sprang upon the Vigilante, and with one blow of his double-edged dagger he split the messenger’s neck from the left ear almost down to the point of the shoulder The Vigilante dropped to the floor appar ently dead. In a very few minutes the committee were apprised of the fate of their emissary, and in a few minutes more CoL Ash was their prisoner and quietly escorted to the “Fort.” The defenses outside the bead cuarters of the Vigdantes were modeled alter Gen. Jackson’s famous barricades at New Oi lcans, sandbags, however, being sub stituted m this case for cotton bales to the height of tho second story of the building. Cannon commanded the approaches from the north, east and south. The “Fort” was on the west side of the street, in the middle of the block, with a large open space in front, anil was patrohsi by pickets, outside and inrside, who paced up and down under arms day and night. The members of the committee fully appreciated the gravity of an incident that had made a United States army officer their prisoner. To have seen such an official in the hands of the vigilance committee, charged with the murder of one of their own members, marked a serious crisis in the affairs of tho organization. "Word was brought to headquarters that the wounded messenger was living, but that there was no hope of his recovery. Most of the vigilantes came to the conclusion that no matter how the injuries of the committee’s member might terminate the life of the Colonel was doomed. He had sympathizers in the com mittee and out of it who sincerely wished that he had not defied the only strong ad minijitration of justice in the city, but all felt that, in order to preserve the authority of tho committee and to continue it the ter ror of evil-doers, Col. Ash must hang. The friends of tho Colonel w re wild with despair. The courts could render no assist ance. The time was short. There hail, for some time, been lying down toward the Golden Gate, a United States man-of-war, a frigate well manned and equipped. Asa last resort Col. Ash’s friends appealed to the commander to demand tho prisoner in the name of the United States government, or at loast to delay his execution. The com mander complied with the request and opened up a diplomatic correspondence which determined in the threat of the com mander. “If you hang Col. Ash I will raze the city, or as much of it as I can, to the ground.” The committee replied: “Much as we re gret to come in conflict with the laws of the United States, if our Officer dies Col. Ash will hang.” Fortunately for all concerned, the officer of the committee recovered, and may be living yet, for all I know, and Col. Ash, too, for he was discharged from custody. AN EMPRESS BRIDE’S OUTFIT. Some Impressive Facts About the Coming Chinese Affair. From the Pall Mall Gazette. The choice of the bride for the young Em peror of China has been made, ‘ and in due time the daughter of the Duke of Chao, the brother of the present Empress, will be Em press of the Celestial Empire. Although the wedding will probably not take place before 1889, thousands of hands are already busy with the lady’s trousseau and wedding presents, which have probably never been equaled in wealth at any other court. The following, for instance, are the presents which the young Emperor is presenting his fiance before their marriage, after the act ual engagement present, which consists of a gold seal, richly inlaid with jewels, the handle being formed by two gold dragons. Up to a month previous to the wedding the lady is presented with ten piebald horses, with complete trappings; ten gilt helmets and cuirasses, 100 pieces of satin of the first quality, and 300 pieces of cotton ma terial. As wedding presents the bride re ceives 200 ounces of gold, 10,000 ounces (taels) of silver, one gold tea service, consist ing of teapot and one cup with a lid. one silver tea service, two silver wash basins, 1,000 pieces of satin of the best quality, twenty horses, with complete trappings; twenty horses, without trappings; twenty saddles for packhorses and mules. The par ents of the lady receive, also, 100 ounces of gold, one gold tea set. one silver wash basin, 000 pioces of silk, 1,000 pieces of cot ton ma terial, six horses, completely harnessed; a helmet and cuirass, a bow and a quiver, with arrows; each parent one court dress for summer and one for winter, one every day dress, and a sable coat, The brothers am! servants of the bride also receive rich and costly presents. The bride’s bats are tho’most remarkable articles among tho rich trousseau. The winter Court hat has a rim of sable; the crown is made of red velvet, from the centre of which rises a button composed of three parts, each of wliich Is ornamented with three small oblong jieurls of particular beauty and seventeen ordinary petfrls. while in the centre of each part an other splendid pearl is set in gold and sur mounted by a gold phosnix. The button is surrounded by seven gold phoenixas, of which each is inlaid with seven large and twenty-one small pearls and a cat’s eye. At the back of the hat, below the button, a gold pheasant is placed with one cat’s eye aud sixteen pearls. The tail of the pheasant is divided into five parts by 303 small and five large pearls, forming a pendant, the centre of which is made of a lapis lazuli surrounded by pearls. At the end of the pendant a big coral is suspended. A collar is fastened at tho buck to the hat, the out side of which is of sable, the inside of bright yellow material, with velvet ribbons em broidered at the end with diamonds. The three gala Court dresses are of a dark blue color, with borders of gold embroidered all over the dresses, while down the front are sewn in gold thread the words “Wan-Fu” (eternal happiness) and “Wan-Shon” (eternal life.) The necklace and chains are of an enormous value, and comjsjsod for the most part of pearls, turquoises, corals, and diamonds. A handkerchief which, is worn in the belt, is green, richly embroidered, trimmed with tassels of jewels and yellow ribbons. A gala apron of red and blue satin, trimmed with otter skin and embroid ered in gold, dragon fans, and skirts of many different kinds, are also part of this gorgeous outfit, and tho furniture for the future Empress is keeping every trade brisk throughout China.

YANKE2 GIRLS ABROAD. How the American Girl Shines in Europe and Why. Ed. Cotevn in the Chicago Few*. The American gift in Europe is unlike what the society critic pictures her. She is not always seeking titled husbands, as the conscienceless satirist would have us believe; nor is she an unconscious caricature, as I have frequently seen her drawn by ungal lant pens. She is remarked in Europe for an aggressive assertiveness which we at home glorify as independence. Since Froude has set the fashion our native persistence is frowned upon as impudence, while our inquisitiveness, the nucleus of our inventive genius, is labelled abroad as impertinence. The American girl was peculiarly strong iu these two weaknesses. Hence the unjust reflections passed upon her. You can pick her out of a thousand in Europe. Her indifference to chaperonage; her solf-possossion under all circumstances, from grave to gay: her grace of movement; her neat, close-fitting dress (rarely gaudy); her superior complexion, and her claim of prerogative, impressed by manner alone, make her alike conspicuous on the dressy boulevards of Paris, and the sombre by-ways of the Scotch highlands. Ijetter writers of the press have done her great injustice in the past, and should has ten to make amends. Lucy Harper was begging for an interesting thought when she charged tho American girl with being a gaslight sight seeker in Paris. It isn’t so. There are a few superannuated old widows in the colony who essay to keep their Mood in livelier motion by nocturnal excitements, hut you never find tho American girl on these Bohemian expeditious. Moreover, it is only once in a great while that she is seen at any of the popular comedy dens, where vul garity so often plays the part of wit, and rarely does she go" to that saturnalia of grossness—the opera bouffe. In short, among all the traveling women of the world she patronizes the French arts of im morality tile least. At the Folios Bergere aud the Eden you nightly see English and German women in droves; an American not once in a month. So it runs at London, Berlin, Vienna and wherever I have been. I can discover no morbid regard in the American girl for the every-night realisms of European vice. Among the unfortunates of this continent she is not found, and they represent every other nationality under the sun. A WRONG IDEA OF HER. There is a canting unanimity on the part of pretentious writers and observers to de fame the American girl iu Europe as an off spring not purely representative. Her father has become suddenly rich; her par ents are vulgar farmers; she is putting on airs abroad on a starving allowance; this is her first year out of school; her mother is hunting a husband for her. the whole family is crazy to meet royalty so that they can gq home and forever more brag about it—these and a hundred others are the slanders that distort the American girl out of ail natural and decent shape. The Prince of Wales has been meeting her all his life, yet Uhauncey AI. Depew assured him that he had not yet seen the ideal American girl. Everyone the prince had smiled on to date—this was in Homburg—was a mere adventuress, ac cording* to Mr. Depew. The real article never came across the ocean became she didn’t care to cultivate royalty; she had an abundant® of high moral and humane em ployments that kept her at home. Mr. De pew didn’t say so much in so many words, out that was tho very plain inference of his remarks. Now, I protest this Is not fair. Mr. Depew, in aiming to say "a clever thing or two for the American girl at home, over shot the mark and hit the American girl abroad. Hereafter, in the eyes of the prince —since he placed a high estimation on Mr. Depew’s say so—the American girl who seeks his distinguished presence can never hope to command his full respect nor to escape a certain royal suspicion that she is beneath the lovely standard of her coun trywomen. If Mr. Depew were, on the other hand, slyly singeing his Falstaffian friend, we can forgive him, for it is perhaps true that the American girl might be better employed than seeking royal acquaintances. Yet the reign of natural law prescribes, among other things, that nationality shall not exempt a woman from curiosity, and it would lie queer beyond understanding if the most prudish and exalted of American girls could run through a European season without attempting to look upon the coun tenance of royalty. What I wanted to demonstrate is, that the American girl in Europe is quite as typical as the American girl at home; that it makes no difference with her whether she is mak ing pumpkin pies m New England, leading the german in New York, dipping in the surf at Alameda, shining in solitude on a gulf plantation, or romping through the effete monarchies —she is an American, and noticeably better than any other kind of a girl that grows. SHE SNUBS THE PRINCE OF WALES. The only snub the Prince of Wales ever received at Homburg was administered by an American girl, and in such a manner as to take the breath away from her mother. It was the season the Prince fell on the salon floor with Miss Winslow while waltzing. He had overcharged himself with >vino at dinner. Presently he caught sight ot this Southern girl, distinguished-looking, hand some and passionately fond of dancing, who bad, some days previous, been introduced to him. He dispatched an equerry to summon her for a waltz. On the instant, and while her mother was dumfounded for want of a suitable reply, she said: “Convey my regrets to his royal highness arid inform him that I shall dance no more this season.” “But you forget, miss,” continued the emissary, “that this is a royal command.” “But you forget, sir,” said she, indig nantly, “that I am an American and am not accustomed to obeying royal com mands.” At this the equerry vanished and the voung lady’s mother recovered her breath, file plucky Southerner kept her word by abstaining from dancing the remainder of the season. If Mr. Depew can dig up any more Americanism than this for Prince Al bert’s edification lie will be entitled to praise for a marvelous discovery. A Connecticut Volcano. From the Boston Globe. The recent discovery of the remains of a volcano near Mount Lamentation, the high est peak in the chain of Meriden hills, has excited the keenest interest in scientific circles. It has furnished anew key to tho geological history of the('onnecticut valley. The discovery was made by Prof. W. N. Davis of Harvard University. He, has been engaged in making an exhaustive study of the trap rock of this State, and he made his happy discovery of volcanic ruins while searching for au entirely different class of geological phenomena, Mount Lamentation has lieen visited by large numbers of people during the past few weeks. The various scientific associations of the State and several geologists of national repute have carefully examined the interest ing curiosity. No volcanic cone or crater is still visible, but the phenomena of the place clearly indicates that in the triassic age violent explosive eruptions of a regular vol canic type wore frequent. Geologists have long known that tho trap rock of the Connecticut valley came up in a molten condition and afterward solidified. This liquid mass sometimes solidified iu fissures iu the earth, and sometimes overflowed the surface like lava streams, and was subse quently covered up by strata of sandstone. Prof. Davis has discovered what is technic ally known as an ash bed. It Is a deposit formed when molten lava is thrown high into tho air by violent explosions and comes down in a confused mass, coarse and fine. In the triassic period when these eruptions occurred there must have been regular cones ami craters of the usual type, but these have all lieen effaced. It is very probable that other ash beds may exist in the range of Mei iden hills. The geological history of this region has always afforded a rich field for scientific research, aud the recent volcanic discovery lias given a greater scientific boom to it. CHEAP ADVERTISING.
