A Frenchman's rescription of the imazons of Dahomej in Uniform. IXTOTION OF PHOTO MGRAYHG ITS '"w mt J rWKITTEN- TOE THI DISrATCH.3 Earlr next month Duke Ernst, of Sare-Cobnrg-Gotba, "will celebrate his golden wedding, and he de serves the congratu lations which his loving subjects and his countless royal relations will be sure to give him, far more than most . princes. In the present organization of the German em. pire his opportuni ties for showing any Duht Ernst particular ability as a ruler are limited, but he has not confined his efforts to maintaining his ducal revenues. Duke Ernst is one of the few princes who have cultivated the arts of literature and music to the world's advantage. In his memoirs, which he has already published under the title of "My Life and Time,v he reveals considerable ability as a writer, as well as a disposition of singular amiabil ity. As a musician he has not endangered the laurels of Wagner, but an opera of his called "Christina of Sweden" has been per formed successlully in his own court theater, and while another opera written by him did not set Loudon, where it was pro duced, crazy with delight, was admitted by the critics to be a creditable work, es pecially lrom a royal composer. At home in his little duchy he is well liked, for he has much ot the kindly nature and refined taste which endearedhis brother, Prince Albert, to the English subjects of Queen ictoria. His wife, who will cele brate the golden wedding with him, was Princess Alexandrine, daughter of the late Duke Leopold of Baden. During the Franco-Prussian war the newspapers had a good deal of tun with Duke Ernst because he would persist in talking about the great things "ile and the King" had done for Germany. In addition to other claims to distinction he has that which princes have the proper pursa to attain, a remarkable record as a traveler, for he has made a tonr of the world, including an exploring trip into Africa. Altogether Duke Ernst has done pretty well for a Prince who started out with the handicap ot the soubriquet of "Handsome Ernst." the African black. He will fight till he falls, and so will his sisters, for the amazbn or women-warriors qf Dahomey are world famed. Besides being natuijxl warriors, they are the best disciplined of the African native tribes, and as the King insists on success in battle or death for the survivors, the Dahomey warriors never confess defeat, but fight while they have a breath left in them. On one occasion within the past two years several French civilians were cap tured by the Dahomeyans, and, curiously enough, liberated again with a letter to "King" Carnot of Prance, written by the Dahomey sovereign, who was in a good humor for a wonder. Prom the Den of one of these Frenchmen we have the best de scription of the remarkable Dahomeyan army as it appears to-day. This is so inter esting that I quote lrom it the following: "There could be no questioning the fact that they were fine fellows, robust and full of muscle, their white, flowing robe3 bring ing their ebony figures into strong relief. Silent ourselves and a prey to deep emotion, we traversed their serried ranks, and after a quarter of an hour's march reached the second line, consisting of 4,000 amazons, the 4,000 black virgins of Dahomey, who form the bodyguard ot the King, armed with rifle and knife, and ready to attack at the slight est signal of their master. Old or young, plain or handsome, thev are all alike mar velous to see. As full of muscle as the male warriors, their attitude is as well dis ciplined and correct, and the leaders at the head of each column are easily recognized by their rich attire and their resolute air. Such are the amazons under arms, differing very much from the savage horde which fancy has painted them." As the population of Dahomey is es timated at more than 200,000, any or all of which can be turned into soldiery by the King, it can readily be understood that the French will not have such a small afiair on their hands as most persons imagine. EASTKB HKDITATION. jJMk The Inventor of Plioto-Encravlne. Other inventions have made more noise in the world, but when John Calvin Moss, who died a few days ago, hit upon a prac tical method of pho-to-enzravmg he-rev-olutiomzed illustrat ing. His discovery made the illustrating of daily newspapers possible, and added immensely to the pictorial powers of the illustrated peri odicals. Photo-en graving brought an x a Most. artistic form of illustration within the reach of advertisers generally, and, aside from the improvement in the pictures in the news columns, the advertising paces are often ornamented with photo-engravings of real beauty. It has been found that Mr. Ioss was right when ne predicted years ago mat the new process would not super sede the costlier methods of wood and steel engravins, but would supplement them. Photo-encraving has simply made illustra tion popular and more truly artistic in all its forms. He lived long enough to see his prediction fulfilled and to reap some of the Iruits of his discovery. The accompanying portrait is made by the process he invented. May Produce the American Play. Clyde Fitch, tbe young American dram atist, has an interesting personality, and although he is very young he has done a good deal beside writing- several successful plays and getting into a superb controversy with that eccentric genius Bichard Hans field. His bachelor quarters in New York have enough bric-a-brac old pictures, tap estries, and curious antique silver in them to equip a far more ambitious establishment. He does not live there all the time, though Erobably his heart is usually true to Alan at tan. In the spring his fancy turns to London, where he verr sensibly abjures lodgings and rents a small house, as one may do for a moderate sum in that great wilderness of brick and stone. Before he wends bis way back to work and the West he usually takes a flying trip on the Con tinent to see what is new in the dramatic world of Europe, and also to refresh his acquaintance with Old World art in all its forms. This may be interesting, because t shows that the young man, he is only 25, has a definite method, and if it has resulted already in giving us several plays of origin ality and finish, it may later on develop the long-looked-for great American play. It seems rather singular that's young man, who has startled New York with a fin-de-&iecle drama, should have made his first mark in books for children only three or four years ago. In fact, Mr. Fitch seems to have grown pretty fast, for it was but six years ago that he was graduated from Am herst, and memories of his participation in dramatic affairs there, of the original poem, said to be unusually excruciating, which he recited at the commencement, still hang about the college. W. G. Kaufslaitn; Legacies for Pet Animals. Miss Susan Gorga of Eoxborough, Pa., is not the first woman who has aggravated her human heirs by leaving a thumping legacy to a favorite cat. Miss Gorgas' be quest of 1,000 for the support of her feline friend will occasion a lawsuit The cat has Eince died, and the guardians of five kittens that survived her mean to try to secure the 51,000 for their maintenance. Women, and old maids especially, seem to be most given to eccentric provision for pet animals by will. A. famous instance is the will of Madame Dupuis, the French harpist, who charmed Parisians in the seventeenth cen tury with her exquisite playing. She had a tender spot in her heart for cats, and di rected in her will that 30 sous a eek should be spent upon two that had made their home with her. She also directed that they should be served daily with two meals of meat soup, in separate plates, and two rations of finely minced meat mildly seasoned. A pet parrot belonging to Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter, of London, was well provided for after that Iadv's death in 1813, with an an nuity of 51,000 a year for life. As parrots often live to 100 years or more that splen didly endowed Polly may be still talking. Some years ago Jonathan Jackson, of Co lumbus, O., left a laree sum of money to be spent upon the erection of a home for cats. It waB to be an asylum and hospital for in digent and decayed cats. Mr. Jackson left plansfor the building, which was to include sleeping chambers, a dining room, a roomy back yard, with a fence lor exercise and conversation, and roots of easy ascent for climbinsr. For the amusement of the in mates rat-holes were to be provided, and an auditorium where all the cats were to assemble each day and listen to music on the accordion, which Mr. Jackson thought would harmonize most pleasantly with the cats' voices. But it is to be feare'd that the cats of Columbus have never profited by Mr. Jackson's generous intentions. There are other instances in plenty of bequests to animals; to gold fish, to canaries, to monkeys, to dogs frequently, and to horses. ATrencnman of Toulouse, in a will dated 1781, appointed his russet cob his heir, and though relatives of the testator contested the will, the courts upheld the rights ot the horse. A Mix Abont Kings.

BEST SUIT IK THE BOUSE FOB SIS. The Amazons or Dahomey. The people of Dahomey, who are again threatening war with the French, are cer tainly unique enough in their manners and customs to warrant the profound interest of the anthropologist, but the chief interest the civilized world takes in them now is confined to the "hope that they will not be allowed much longer to nractice the awful enormities for which they have been famous. The Dahomeyans simply revel in cruelty. To kill or to torture is to them the keenest of pleasures. The office of executioner is a post of honor to which only the richest and most powerful in the lad dare aspire, and, as a matter of course, the wealthier the exe cutioner the better the opportunity for sat isfying his brutal instincts. There is no doubt whatever that France will crush the kingdom of Dahomey. whether it be now or in tbe early future, but there is also no doubt that France will have no easy task in doing it. With all their brutish instincts the Dahomey negro is abore the ordinary intelligence of Onr Great Offer Baa Canght the Town by Storm and Monday Is the Xast Day to Benefit by It P. C.

Where earth with earth resolving blends, A city's burled dead my way surrounds; Tbe soldier, heedless of his glory won, Tbe statesmaa. dreamless of ambition's crown, Tbe toiler, knowing not his rest from toll. The sage, regardless of his wide renown; Is this oar being's object, scope and trust A little mound, a little coffined dnstf Is there no lulure, where the soul, new born, Emerging from the grave's mysterious womb. Renews Its functions in some wider sphere, To which the mystic portal Is the tomb? II. If life is but from cradle to the grsjre, or ripens harvest for another sphere. What wisdom Jn man's lifetime struggle here. What culmination grand its purpose haver Nor matters what from age to age life's bloom. If death, the only fruitage from It made, Man only is a finer cultured brute; A burlesque life by saint and sinner played. What use tbe mind tbat wins a world's applause. The sacrifice of self for others' good. The pure ambition to perfect the State, The virtue that temptations sore withstood; What good attained from all life's hopes and fears. Be death and dust the crowning of our years? III. A weary nightmare were our span of time. Did man no purpose in his being hold Than day by day to eat, and toll, and sleep, To dig tbe mine, or turn tbe fruitful mould. War with his fellows, strut his little day And be resolved In to his native clay. As well tbe day fly that Its little sum Of being fills from rise to set orsun, Tbe maggot riotous in foul decay, Tbe wild beast gorging on bis slaughtered prey; What matter thus how soon existence cease. What day tbe last surviving man expires. With murderous hand around his comrade's throat, And earth resolve Into its primal fires? IV. What use man'slove for man. theconsclenee quick, Tbe keen prospective sense of wrong and right If thus the sun of human lire goes down. Thus wanes, and fades, to cease in endless night? Tbe skill to use existence's natural laws. For labor's ease, or health; or God-Uke causa All earthly things to still obey man's will. If death ends man; tbe grave his final goal? It were far better not, than thus to be. Or being, burrow like the blinded mole. Like to the ox plod stupidly our way. Within the mpd and sun sleeps like the swine If so dwells not In men immortal souls. That from the grave uprises to a life divine. V. There Is not one of nature's varied lives. But Is, tbat from It other lives may bloom; The fragile flower even yields its life. To live again within some sweet perfume. Shall man, tbe chief of all created things. Less purpose in existence have than they; In dying be but food for worms, ' And rot to fertilize a mound of slay? Is this the crowning end of intellect. That time and space triumphantly defies. That questions nature is her secret cells. And solves tbe stellar wonders of the ikies; To cease, when ceases poise and breath. To ever be annihilate in death? VI, Lot down the aisles a slow procession moves. With shrouded form, with gentle steps conveyed. While round on cither hand, on tomb or stone, In hoc slgno with the cross displayed The promise gives, the black robed priest proclaims With solemn voice, and heavenward turning eye, "I am tbe resurrection and the life. Who so believes in Me shall never die." How like a burst of grand triumphal song Falls on the hearing of the mourning throng. The words "so' ' as In Adam died all men "In Christ shall all be made alive again; "This mortal put on immortality. "O death where is thy sting, O grave thy victory?" VIL As Mary, kneeling by tbe-empty tomb. Heard waiting angels 'He Is risen' ' say, While o'er Judea's misty hill tops broke The dawning of the first glad Easter day; And tearful seeking through the landscape wide. Saw Cbrist new risen standing by her side; So Faith beholds, beside the new made grave, The Cbrist who came the bonds of death to break, Who raised tbe widow's only son at Main, Bade Lazarus from the sleep of death awake, And the first fruits of victory for men, O'erdeath.arose Himself to life again. And cries, up-springing lark like from the sod. With Job. "Tet Is tbls flesh shall I see God." VIII. O, stanch, brave-hearted Faith t who, eagle eyed. Soars upward with thy broad, unfaltering wing. All undismayed by mist, or clond, or storm. Or wanton skeptic's eager arrowing; Come, dwell with me and teach me bow to rise Above the clouds of life; train thou my sight. So I, as old John Bunyan saw. may see The fair Celestial City gleaming bright, The river lapping long Its golden sands. The white-robed angels with their outstretched hands. Tbe weary pilgrims helping to the shore. Their Journey and their chilling passage oer; So I, grown strong with storms of life to cope. May wing my heavenward way In Christian hope, VIII. Lonerel lo there! disputing zealots cry. This way Is Christ, this way to heaven the road. And rear new creeds to shelter fresh beliefs. Christ's simple words with mySUe meaning's load. The same Christ and His sacrifice profess. The same "Our Father" and Bis Son proclaim, Tet hold those damned whose creeds are not the Bnt those who pray within their church are blessed ; Tet all believe In God, and trust In Christ! To have His Kingdom come in earnest strive. What matter Lord what garb the toller's wear Who till Thy fields to have Thy harvest thrive?
