TEE KM OF DAHOBETATZOBIE
[Prom,tho fiatardiy laview.]
The piominence just given to the King
of Dahomey and, his court by the discuss
sion that. has taken place in one of the dig
nified seances of the British Association,
and the controversy which is going on as .
to his mental and moral idiosyn,crasies,bid'
fair to make the name of that potentate a
household word. He has the reputation`
of being the chief supporter of the slave
trade iu the interior of Africa; he is the
bele noire of missionaries; and we heard a
year or two ago • such an account of his
"customs," and of the hecatomba of hu
man victims that are consumed in the eel;
ehration of them, .hat Lord Russell was
recommended to put. him down as a publiq
nuisance. On such occasions it is always
advisable to- wais a little. Sad as it is to
be obliged to make the confession, philan
thropy, when its blood is up, is apt to be
as indiscriminate , in its vengeance as a
King Of Dahomey himself; and missiona
ries are occasionally given to poet:nature
alartmi, wild exaggerations,-and the vaga
ries of old womanhood in geriertiL We
have lately hadapicture of the terrible
potentate, drawn from the life by one who
has had every opportunity of seeing him
as- he is, who writes with a sailor's brevi
ty and exactness, and who has presented
Parliament with one of the most readable
papers that have adorned that species of
literature for years. It is considerably
more favorable than the sketch which has
been subsequently given to the world by
M. Jules Gerard. It is more detailed
and eircantstancial; it appears to be foun
ded on fuller opportunities of observation
than those enjoyed by the lion-hunter, and
it has, just been confirmed by the inde
pendent. and personal testimony of Mr.
Craftst Newcastle. The narrative of our
gallant countryman may perhaps assist us
in correcting to some extent the very ex
aggerated and unpleasant impression of
the royal character which M. Gerard's ea.'
count of his Dahomey experiences is cal
culated to produce.
In November, 1862, Commodore Wil
mot was - cruising on the West African
station in H. M. S.Battlesnah4 and learn
ed from the Wesleyan Missionary at Why
dab that the King of Dahomey was most
anxious to see "Somebody of coritidera
tion from England; a 'real Englisitman,'
with whom be might converse on the af
fairs of his.. country." Accordingly, he
consulted the Yavogah, ,or Governor of
WhYdith, who hold him to return in sev
en days,,when he,would 'Vet him know
whether the . King would 'see him." He
let - timed at: the appointed time,*and-hav
ingbeen• meanwhile represented to his
N.ajesty as a "good and proper person,"
with a sort of intimation (which seems by
the way to have been an extemporized ad
dition on ibe part of .the Yavogab) that
be came out as a messenger of the Queen,
he received the Mug's invitation to his
capital in due form. There ,were two or
three: things, however, to -be seriously
considered. Our late , attacks on Porto
Novo, which belongs to tbe King's broth
er, was said to have enraged' his Majesty
so much that he had expressed a strong
desire to lay npomen English of&
Cei;for .'eertati :peisonal and unpleaaant
puipOiteiC.l4lail,theiEuropeans at Why

and the lingiti.nivOti* as possible, and

MONTROSE, PA,, THURSDAY, NOV:
. .
received -.moat .cordially by the,lCalint. ll ; l
and chiefs', :with drums beating,coloistly- .
Mg, muskets firing, dancing, and, war
songs, and ,was Also treated.to a sight of
the manoeuvres of a slave hunt. All along
the road the party was treated with great
respect. Presents of water,' fowls, , and
goats,met, them everyw,here, acconipan
with, am o unt of firing, druol
miiig, singing, dancing,Ac., and a ,aeries
of ominous speeches, signifying, the gener
al desire of the speakers to "go' to war
and cut off heads-for their Master." A
Prince was ordered to attend
.them on
theirjourney, and tqe King sent three, of
Ibis "'sticks . ," by special messengers, to
meet them on their way-;--gold stick, 'sil
ver stick, and all the-rest of it, of course,
just like St, James o 1 the Tuildies—pos
sibly a well-meant endeavor to, reassure
,them that, notwithstanding the odd tone
of the ",speeches," his majesty was a
good Ohristian-like King after all, even' if .
Id, did g 9 to ; war " for an idea" now and
then, like some of his brethren.
On the 10th, the King received 'them in
state at Canna, eight miles from his cap
ital. They were carried three times
round the, square of the palace with much
ceremony: 'Then they entered the gates
of, the court-yard, and „beheld his sable
majesty se4ed with about a h,updred
wives around him,'" most Of themyoung
and!exceedingly pretty," at the upperend
of a'sort'of state avenue of variegated um
brellas, under which were congregated his
principal - chiefs. All around stood " the
Guards," a household brigade consisting,
in this instance, of a remarkably fine body
.of Amazons, of whose soldierly bearing
and accuracy in loading and firing the
Commodore everywhere speaks -with ad
miration : ~
"The King a'qts reclining on a raised
dais, about three feet high, covered with
crimson cloth, smoking his pipe. One of
his wives held a glass sugar-basin for him'
to spit in. He was dressed very- plainly,
the upper part of his body being bare,
with only a silver chain holding some fe
tish charm about his neck, and an unpre
tending cloth around his waist."
All this, except perhaps the spitting
app
paratus, is civilized enough, if ono only
reads it rightly. The dais might have
done duty at the last lord mayor's ball;
and " the upper part of the body" of half
the ladies in the ball-room might have
been described with exactly the same fi
delity, if the Court Journal on the occas
ion bad chanced to be written . bralylunt
commodore, instead of veiling its descrip
tions of " low" dress under the conven
tional euphemisms. This preliminary in
terview, however, was simply one of cer
emony. There was the usual inquiries
about the Queen's health, the travelers'
journey, and our form of government, Eo
then fashion ; the Amazons performed
their feats very creditably, brandished
"gigantic razors," and cut off imaginary
heads with them, just like a sham-fight• at
a review ; and the audience ended with
the indispensable present of bottles of rum
all round. Rum is hardly ao appropriate
a beverage as champagne on such occas
ions, and they have, unfortunately, no Pall
Mall in Dahomey, so that this part of the
ceremony has to be performed corona pop
via, instead of being adjourned, as with
us, to the club after the levee is over.—
Our own reserve in the matter is, howev
er, curiously parodied filthose parts : "No
one is permitted to see the King drink ;
all turn their faces away, and a large cloth
is held up by his wives while the loyal
mouth takes in tire liquid."
On Sunday morning, the 14th, the king
entered his capital, Abomey, in great
state, and the strangers were permitted
to see the famous " custom" held annual,
ly by.him in honor of his "father's spirit."
It lasted several days; and the descrip
tion of the King drawn round the square
by his,ixxly-guard of women, the " occas
ional skull at the waist-belt," the scram
ble for cowries, cloths, &c., distributed
by the King from a platform raised twice
as high as his father used to be; and the
live fowls, goats, -bull, and lastly, men
thrown among the crowd from a tower
thirty feet • high, is well mirth reading ;
but we can now only speak of the last and
best-known part of the custom:" After
the romantic tales 'we have heard about
the immolation of human victims by the
thousand, it is comparatively satisfactory
to learn that they only amounted to six
one day and eight another. Here also,as
in everything else, it is understoitd that , I

Qn one occaaion dining the festivities,
certain einissinies, from.,Aghwey, ..",hear7
big that it waa,the Inteation.of , the. King
.to 'attack their,- country; came to , give
themselves up rather, thou take the'chance
,of being taken, sold, or beheaded." They
swore fealty to him,.liisseil-thC dust, cov
ered themselves with sand; <and the like.
The. Kieg made a speech to OWN and
then the prime minister ,Made another, in
whiob was pointed out ",the power of the
King and the greatness of his name."--
Then, "each, chief 'was presented ,with
'oroiriesatid clOth, the , two principal, ones
veitka wife each," In more civilized lati
tades,. when people are chaffering aboUt
kingdoms, very much the same process is
observed, only that we mostly give gold
gad, hunting, instead of cloth and 'cowries,
and- , occasionally, perhaps, a \life with a
kingdom ; the petitioners eat dirt plenti
fully, and the prime minister is sure to
make his speech on the occasion—in Par
liament, it is true, but very' much to - the
same effect. Altogether, one gets the no
tion that the King of Dahofney is' not ve
ry much`behind the rest of the World; or,
anyhow, that for most European coun
tries the process of stone-throwing would
be a hazardous experiment. At the end
of the " custom," and when the Commo
dore was made Colonel of the 'King's Life
Guards (men and women,) 'and had been
regaled with speeches fkom the'Captains
as to what they would do at Abbeokuta
(the place he had come to save from an
expected inroad,) and congratulated on
" the number of heads that would fall 'to
his share"'when 'this happy , piece of hom
icide should have been accomplished, thb
real business of the mission commenced.
The objects. Commodore Wilmot had in
view were laid before the King in order,'
and his negotiations, if not betokening
any very high order of statesmanship,
were at all events far befond those of the
King of Prussia or an average Bourbon.
The slavetrade he could not give up.
' "They had seen how much be had to
give away every year (indeed, the deso
late.aspect of the whole country showed
that the scanty population almost lives on
theie royal doles;) where vas he to get
money from ? It was not his fault ; our
fathers had made his fathers do it ; and
now it had becoMe an institution of Ms*
country." . • ; •,'
As to' the-safe - 7 of Abbeoktita•
"I must . go thither; they are my ene
mies; they insulted 'my brother, and I
must-punish them:; let -as alone; -3vhyin
terfere with black men's wars? Let the
white men: stand by and see which are the
brave men."
He promised, however, to spare all the
Christians and send them to Whydah.
On the Commodore asking about the
Chriitians at Ishagga, who it seems had
been slaughtered with no great.discrimin
ation on a former occasion, he says
"Who knew they were Christians ?
The black man says be is a white .i man,
calls himself a Christiarr, and dresses in
long clothes..- It -an insult to the white ,
man. I respecOhe white man ; !butlhese
people are imfrosters, and no better than
my 'own people. Why do they remain in
a place when they know lam coming ? If
.they do, I suppose they , are taking ulr
arms against me, and lam bound to treat
them as enemies."
• The Commodore honestly owns himself
floored here, and reasoned with him no
longer on this subject, because ho thought
his observations ."
sc , thoroughly just and
honest." We are disposed to agree with
him very %decidedly. It must be rather
puzzling to know how to observe interna
tional courtesies when " the black man
says he is a white man," and experts his
enemy to believe it. Then about human
sacrifices: •
"You have seen that only a few are sae:
rificed, and not the thousands that wicked
men have told' the world. If I were 'to
give up this custom at once; my head
would be taken" off to-morrow. By and
by, little by little, much May be done ;
softly, softly—not by threats. You see
how I arreplaced, and the difficulties in
the Way. By and by,. by'and by,"
'The sable brother rises "in Our' esteem.
We are beginning to rate him ceinsiderh-,
by above the average 'oraclea'of the mis
sionary meeting. Meanwhile, he was
quite willins to tallow his mulatto sub
jects to Sea their children to the Christ
ian schools at Whydah ; and he protitised
to send if princegtb' England as soon as
the Commodore came again to renew the
friendship, and` gave him 4 1 ihe Ineents".,
answer to what he had said. • Finally,te
