The massacres of the French
prisoners at Dahomey, by order of
the king, calls to mind a story of
the “little” king which had been
nearly forgotten. The new king
of Dahomey, Kondor, has been a
pupil of one of our great lycenms.
During two years he attended, or
pretended to attend, the course of
lectures at Marseilles. The King
of Dahomey, or rather the future
king, who did qot like to quit his
bed early and follow the common
promenades of the pupils, was not
much disciplined, and tormented
the professors very much.
One day M. Armand, President
of the Geographical Society, and
actually yet professor at the lyee-
nm, lost patience, and as the little
king uttered guttural cries from
his corner, in the midst of a lec
ture, he took him by the shoul
ders ana pitched him out of doors
with a kick.
But what a cruel look he sent at
him! For he had just time enough
to turn round before the door was
closed on him.
Now, since that day, wheedling,
mawkish, the negro endeavored to
captivate the friendship of our pro
fessor, the best of men, and when
he left, he invited him to come to
see him in his country.
“It is a pity that it is so hot at
our long vacations; there is no
chance to go down there,” said
Armand formally.
But since then he has changed
his opinion; when he found out
that the attendance of the young
man at the Lyceum of Marseilles
had not modified much his natural
instincts, and that,as his predeces
sors, he loved very much for
amusement to make some heads
fall.
He made fall a great many re
cently, at the death of his father,
the late King Geilgle, and at the
moment that he took possession of
the throne.
On that occasion they celebrated
what they call the “grand custom;”
that is that they massacre a great
number of individuals. Captain
Serval has given in this respect
the following horrible details:
The feast of the “grand custom”
celebrated at grave circum
stances, but takes its fall and hor
rible development only at the
death of a king. As soon as the
king is dead, they erect a cenotaph
in the midst of which is a coffin,
formed of the blood of a hundred
captives, sacrificed for the purpose
of serving as guards of the sover
eign in the other world. They
make enter into the cenotaph eight
voluntary female dancers and fifty
soldiers. These victims of both
sexes offer themselves voluntarily
to the manes of the dead king.
For eighteen months the hered
itary prince reigns in the quality
of regent. After the expiration of
this term he proceeds publicly to
the funeral vault, uncovers the
coffin, takes the skull of the king
in one hand and with the other
raises a little hatchet, and an
nounces to the people that the king
is dead. Then he draws his sword
and pronounces himself king.
From this moment an inde
scribable thirst for blood seizes
the Dahomeyan population. Thou
sands of human victims, destined
to carry to the dead king the news
of the coronation of his successor,
are sacrificed, during which time
they form with clay and the blood
of the victims a great vase, in
which the remains of the dead
king are inclosed. After the ter
mination of this ceremony, the
massacres begin iD the whole king
dom.
At Whydah a sailor is precipi
tated into the sea at the same time
with two guards of the gates of the
port. • These victims are destined
to open to the dead king the gates,
when it pleases him to take a sea
bath. Other persons are likewise
put to death. But this is only a pro
logue. The king soon causes the
gong to sound, to announce that
the “grand custom” is about to
commence. The next morning at
daybreak a hundred men and
hundred women are put to death
in the interior of the palace. The
king comes from his residence, and
they salute him. Then he pro
ceeds to the royal tomb, in which
they bury sixty living men, fifty
sheep, fifty goats, etc. He then
proceeds to his palace, where they
pnt to death in his presence, and
to his honor, fifty slaves.
After this hecatoinb, the mon
arch places himself on a high
platform constructed in front of
dresses to his people a war speech,
promising them many slaves, and
he causes rum and clothing to be
distributed. Opposite the plat
form, and at the whole length of
the place, are ranged human heads,
fresh and bleeding. The king or
ders three chiefs to approach, es
pecially • charged by him to.
go and inform his predecessors
that the “customs” from now on
will be better observed. Eaeh one
of these unfortunates receives
from the hands of the king a bot
tle of rum, and is then immediate
ly beheaded.
They then bring forth twenty
four boxes or baskets, each one
containing a living man, whose
head only sticks out. They place
the boxes in a row before the king.
Then they are precipitated upon
the ground before the palace,
where the drunken multitude, ea
ger for blood, dispute with each
other for the victims. The king
retires only when the last victim
is beheaded, and when two bleed
ing heaps, one of heads and one of
mutilated trunks, are elevated at
the two ends of the palace.
During ten days there is a sup
pression of this slaughter, but in
daytime only, because at night
they continne, and begin again on
the last day of the “grand cus
tom.”
The last day has a -’certain so
lemnity. Two high platforms are
erected on each side of the gate of
honor of the royal palace, and a
third in the middle of the princi
pal court. On each construction
are sixteen captives, four horses
and an alligator. The captives
are placed around three tables, one
for each group, having before each
a glass of rum. The king ascends
to the highest platform, prays sol
emnly to the national fetishes, and
inclinas himself before the cap
tives. These, whose right arms
have been unbound, drink to the
health of the king, who dedicates
them to death. Then they are
carried in procession with the
clothing of the dead king, and the
review of the Dahomeyan troops
begins. As soon as the review is
ended, the captives of the three
groups have their heads cut off, or
rather sawed off, with notched
knives. The horses and the alli
gators are killed at the same time,
and - the sacrificers take particular
care to mix their blood with that
of the human victims. The “grand
customs” are then ended.

The Southern Farm thinks that
too little attention is given the
Irish potato in the south, though
it occupies a prominent position
in the food crop of the world. Be-
yofld a small square in the kitchen
garden, it finds no place ifi the
years crop on the average south
ern farm, and few have given
thought to the magnificent possi
bilities ivhich lie in the careful
preparation of land for and intelli
gent cultivation of.this much neg
lected food crop. J. B. M. of
Franklin, Tenn., in writing in the
Country Gentleman gives his mode
of preparation and cultivation as
follows:
‘I break my land well in the fall,
and let it rest until the first open
spell in January- or Febuary.
Then I harrow it well, have my
seed cut, and plant with potato
planter in rows thirty two inches
wide, dropping the seed from ten
to twelve inches apart. No fertil
izer is used. I let {he field alone
until the shoots begin to show
themselves above the ground j
then take a single horse plow and
cover them back, throwing on two
farrows and let them rest until
they begin to show themselves
again. I then treat them as at
first, covering them back the - sec
ond time, and leaving them un
touched by the cultivator, weeds
or no weeds—the more the better;
the weeds shade and protect the
tubers from the hot sun.
1 have practiced this mode for
two years, and the result last year
was rather better than tne present.
dug over 100 barrels of smooth,
nice marketable potatoes to the
acre. I have just, dug and sold
620 barrels from ten acres of land
or 62 barrels to the acre, cutting
planting and digging did the job.
By this mode the potatoes made
above the level of the ground, and
consequently were smother and
went to market nicer than if raised
below the level of the ground. We
used no barnyard manure or other
fertilizer on potatoes, as the grub
less liable to trouble them.”
In answer to inquiry in the Oc
tober Crop Report, as to the best
method of keeping Irish potatoes
through the winter, Commission
er Henderson says: In gathering
the potatoes do not expose to tne
sun. Dry in the shade. House in
dry place protected from
cold.
In the same report, T.R„ a cor
respondent from Gwinnett county,
says:
Last year I pnt up somie of my
Irish potatoes with my sweet po
tatoes. Found them this spring
all right. Planted from them and
had earlier^ larger, and nicer po
tatoes than -any of my neigh
bors who used northern .seed.

My stomach and digestive or-

Sick headaches and violent cramps

under treatment of several physi

the least apparent benefit, bnt in
stead my health became worse,
reluctantly consented to try Bull’s
Sarsaparilla. The first dose con
vinced me it was stronger than any
other, and I felt a warmth through
my whole system. Before I fin-

Columbus Enquirer-Sun-
In a recent issue of the Ameri
can Econmist we find a vigorous
and well expressed plea for an in
crease of the number of industries
pursued by farmers. The Econo
mist states the very clear proposi
tion that the mere increase of the
grain and meat trade will not place
the American farmer on as pros
perous a footing as he ought to be.
The increase in the products of the
American farmer, however, are in
themselves more than satisfactory.
• B1861 the exports of American
bread-stuffs, as quoted by the
Economist from the report of the
foreign commerce of the United
States, were to the value of 872,-
152,866. In J 889 they were worth
8123,876,292; a total increase of
851,725,292, or about 72 per cent.
The exports of provisions, includ
ing meat and dairy products for
1861 were worth 822,483,213; for
1889 they were 8104,122,444,
an increase of881,639,231, or about
363 per cent. The exports of cat
tie, hogs and sheep for 1S61 were
worth 8254,930; for 1889 they were
worth 817,399 862, being an in
crease of 817,084,932, or about 670
per cent. * The increase of exports
of farm products have been very
great.
It must be borne in mind that
these figures indicate the exercise
of great shrewdness in the conduct
of farm business. For while grain
exports have^increased by but 72
per cent., the exports of dairy and
meat products have increased by
363 per cent., and of live stock by
670 per cent. •
The American farmer, it must be
remembered, however, cannot com
pete with the grain raised by the
pauper labor of Europe. The
present tariff would exclude it
from the United States, and a
higher tariff would be imposed if
needful. Butthe true farm policy
is to raise the least possible quan
tity of grain in excess of that de
manded by the home market.
The increase in the number of
persons employed in other indus
tries. than those of agriculture,
will, of course, increase the home
market for farm products. But
increase of production has' kept
ahead of the manufacturing and
trading population; by the census
of 1880 .we had ten farmers to one
miner, merchant and mechanic,
inclusive. We ought to have two
consumers to one producer.
But pending the really rapid,
though comparatively slow, change
in the character of population, in
crease can be made in the number
of farm industries. The Erench
farmer is comparatively prosper
ous, because he does not depend
solely, hardly mainly, upon grain
and meat for his income. He
makes wine; we have a better cli
mate and soil for wine than he has;
he makes beet-root sugar; we could
make it better than he can. It
cost SI per pound to make beet
root. sugar in France for a while,
but the French Government stood
by the Erench farmer, and the
money sunk in bounties on beet
root sugar now pays a large nation
al dividend. France is now one
of the great sugar exporting coun
tries. With twice the .advantages
of France, -the United States re
mains one or the great importing
countries. California, Florida, and
two or three other Southern States
ought all to be great exporters of
limes, olive oil, fresh and pre
served fruits. We have developed
onr farming industries very .rapid
ly, but we have hardly begun to
diversify them, and diversification
of agricultural industries is one of

We do not propose to vote for men

having a record behind them prov
ing that they .are not only now,
bnt have been, on the side of the
people in all matters. There are
very few men in Georgia who as

in the legislature. If any man
has been connected with any coun
ty rings or cliques, while never
doing anything for the people ex

But this is not all. We now have

before congress upon which every
man in this country must take a
stand; He that is not for us is

these men to tejl the people through
the public press where they stand

these measures.
We do not propose to put our
selves in uncertain hands. We
must measure every man by the
Alliance standard, and if he does
not meet this full measure of true
manhood, we must leave him at
home. Men whom the people have
honored in the past must walk up
to the standard and say, I am with
yon to the end. These questions
will be asked, from the men who
aspire to the United States Senate
down to the county officers. No
man has a right to expect our sup

at which it took a first prizr. It
took twelve girls twelve months
to make this perfect specimen of
the old ban d embroidery and lace
trade of Ireland. The cost was
about 82000. No work of to-day

It is hard to believe that a man
can unite in one person two such
widely different characters us min
ister and butcher, and succeed in
each, says the New York Star.
Yet such a a one is the Rev. Halsey
W. Knapp, who from 4 to 11
o’clock a. m., manages one of the
largest wholesale and retail meat
places, and the rest of the twenty-
four hours is a busy and benevo
lent clergyman. He is about fifty
years of age, with a square, solid
and muscular build, so common to
marketmen, black hair and beard
and rosy complexion. Her is a
brother of Prof. Knapp, the dis
tinguished scholar of Yale College,
and was intended for a similar ca
reer, bnt while in his teens he man
ifested such a love for the butcher
business, and such a distaste for
study, that he was allowed to have
his own way.
The New York legislature has
before it a bill to make the legal
rate of interest in that state 5 per
cent, per annum. The legal rate
is now 6 per cent This bill is
said to have excellent chances of
being passed.

An ache or pain is not of itself
a disease, it is but a symptom and
