The King of Dahomey at Home
(CONCLUDED.)
On Sunday morning, the 14th, the
King entered his capital, Abomey, in
great state, and the strangers were per•
witted to see the famous "custom" held
annually by him in honor of his •lather's
spirit." It lasted several days ; and the
description-bf the King drawn round toe
square by his bodyguard of women, the
"occasional skull at the waist-belt,'' the
scramble for cowries, clothe, etc., distri
buted by the King from a platform raised
twice its 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 worth read
ing ; Inc we car, 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 sat
isfactory to learn that they only amounted
to six one day and eight another. Here
also, as in everything else, it is under
stood that the present king doubles the
liberality of his father ; and he was at
pains to explain that the victims were
criminals—murderers, thieves, • etc. The
Commodore doubts the strict veracity of
this statement ; bat ;,he cannot hail.)
remembering that, not very many years
ago, it a Dab emetan envoy had come to
England and soc,ii in trout of Newgate—
ilot once a yeaz, hit once a month-he
might have Peen a "custom - (pine a.,
curious perform with as mach it- more
solemnity, uhder the pre.,idency of sheriff
and chaplain, and at least as sanguinary.
Moreover, the King good naturedly pre-
Rented one of the victims (after his black
face had become "extraordinarily white"
at the prospect hcfore him) to the Com
modore, and another to a chief who hap
pened to be a particular friend of his, in
honor of the visit. We are not sere that
our sheriffs would have displayed a similar
amount of politeness ; and they could not,
if . they would.
' On one occasion daring the (etitivit iee,
certain emiesrsries from Aghwey, "hearing
tritsi it was the inteuttoo cif the King to
attaek their count ry, came to give them
selv. s up to him rather than take the
chance of being taken, or beheaded."
They swore fealty to him, kissed the dust,
clvered themselves with sand, and the
like. The King made a speech to them,
and then the prime minister made another,
in which watt pointed out "the power of
the King and the greatness of his name."
Then "each chief was presented with cow
ries and cloth, the two principal ore's with
a wife each." .In more civilized latitudes
7 .11 • . w.f.- mos - give _o
hunting. instead-of cloth and cowries, 4ad
occasionally, perhaps, a wife with the
kingdom ; the petitioners "oat dirt" plen
tifulD, and the prime minister is sure to
make his spec ch on the occcsioe—in Par
liament, it is true, but very much to the
same effect. Altogether. one gets the
notion that the King of Dahomey is not
very 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 Capron—
dore had been made Colonel of the Reng's
Life Guards (men and women,) and had
been regaled with speeches from the Cap
tains as to what they would do at Abheo
kuta (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, the
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 beyond those of the King of
Prussia or an average Bourbon. The
slave trade he could not give up
" rhey had seen how much he had to
give away every year (indeed, the desolate
aspect of the whole country showed that
the scanty population almost lives on
these royal doles ri where was.he to get
money from? It was not his fault : our
fathers lied made his fathers do it ; and
now it had become an institution i of his
country."
As to the safety , f Abbeoknta—
"l mum go thither : they are my ene
mies: they insulted my brother, and I
must punish them : let it= alone : why in•
terfere in black men's wars? Let the
'white men' stand by and see which a
the brave men "
He promised, however, to spare all the
Christians and send them to Whydah.
On the Commodore's asking about the
Christians at Ishagga (who, it seems, had
been slaughtered with no great discrimina
tion on a former occasion.) he says:
"Who knew they were Christians ? The
black man says he is a white man, calls
himself a Christian and dresses himself
in clothes. It is an insult to the white
man. I respect the white man ; but these
people are impostors, and no better than
my own people. Why do they remain in
a place where they know I am coming ?
If they do, I suppose they are taking up
arms against me, and I am bound to treat
them as enemies."
The Commodore honestly owns himself
floored here, and resumed with him no
longer on this subject, because he thought
his observations so "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 coartesi..s when "the black man
says he is a white man," and expects his
enemy to believe it. Then about human
sacrifices:
"You have seen that only a few are sac
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 tomorrow. By and
by, little by little, much may be done ;
softly, softly—not by threats. You see
how I gal placed, and the difficulties in
the way. By and by, by an by."
[he sable brothers rises iu our esteem.
We are beginning m rats him
.consider
ably above the average oracles of the mis
sionary meeting. Meanwhile, he was
quite willing to allow his mulatto su bjects
to send their children to the Christian
schools at Whydah ; and he promised t..;;
send a prince to England as soon as the
Commodore came again to renew the
friendship and gave him "the Queen's"
answer to what tie said. Finally, he dis—
missed the Commodore with handsome
presents to the Queen—a royal umbrella
made of all sorts of velvet, a pipe stick
and a bag, one of the state "sticks," and
a couple iafintelligent captive girls. These
last are, considerately enough, left at Why
dalt for the,present.
On the whole, it meet be admitted that
the king, of Dahomey hae something to
_ .
say for himself. As is remarked by r, c r
respondent of the Times writing mid
the signature of "An African"': "Huma.
sacrifices are regarded by the A tricaLs n.
a part of their religion,;' and in no qua: -
ter of the world is it safe for sovereign.
to go too decidedly against popular and
accredited traditions. -his equally true,
as we are reminded by the earn; writer.
that " 1 r:•ican monarchs are limited
and iti t - ectly , tredible, though not in
accord.. • with the uniform terror

are in advance of their subjects." The
King of Ashantee bad exactly the same
apology as his brother of Dahomey to offer
to an English visitor, (Sir William Win

far hesitating to abolish the "custn,,i'• of
his dominions.
"What yotisay is good, but would you

the King put his finger upon the Gore,-

little puzzled at the strangeness and the
apparent inappropriateness of the (pis.
twit, but he replied, "Why, no, I should
not." "Very well, then,'' answered the
King, "If I were to attempt to do away
with human sacrifices, my chiefs would
make my kingdom like your coat with its
one epaulet. I should lose the half cf

complains bitterly of our having listened
to idle stories, and set all his neighbors at
war with him ; and it really seems as if
our missionaries, while they have been
humbugged by the tales of interested
slave-dealers or by their own timorous
ness, have been keeping us at needless
distance from the very person who, from
his titular: sovereignty over the native
tribes, and his traditional regard for the
English, is more likely than any one else
to help us in drying up the slave-trade at
its source. It is one more instance
among many of the folly of mixing up po
litical with religious missions. For sound
head, freak bearing, solid sense, and
practical success, Commodore Wilmot is
worth a whole presbytery of preachers.
