AMAZON'S OF OA HOMEY.
FEMALE WARRIORS WITH WHOM THE
FRENCH 60LDIERS MUST FIGHT.
They Are Trained to Arma, and Form the
Principal Part of Their Monarch'* Aruiy.
The Strict Uule* with Which Their LITM
Are Surrounded.
Here, indeed, is a novel state of affairs.
France is at war with Dahomey, and the
chivalrous sabreurs and tirailleurs of a
nation noted for its politeness and defer
ence to woman are to march inland from
the west coast of Africa with the inten
tion of carrying Aglionie hy storm. Ag
borne is the capital of Dahomey, the resi
dence of the king, and i 3 defended by an
army of 4,000 auiazons. It will become
necessary in the ensuing conflict for the
French soldier to fight and fight hard,
for the foe he is to meet, although be
longing to what is known as the weakei
sex, has as far as possible been kept from
any knowledge of the foibles and frailties
of femininity.
The amazons of Dahomey have a his
tory and a record. Something like a
century and a half ago the king of the
country fled to his capital after sustain
ing defeat by a powerful enemy. His
warriors wero slain, bis allies dispersed
and the situation seemed utterly desper
-10, u
AN AMAZON OF THE GUARD,
ate. As a last resource the monarch
armed 2,000 women and sent them out to
do battle with the enemy. The female
legion retrieved the fortunes of their
king by the display of a valor which the
men had not shown, and since the event
ful day on which they swept as victors
through the dismayed ranks of Daho
mey's invaders the amazonsof the house
hold guard have been the chief reliance
of the potentates who have succeeded
King Agaja on the throne.
The corps of ainnzons consists of 4,000
women who are sworn to chastity. No
female of the country can marry until
she has the king's consent, and if, upon
view, ho decides that she is better suited
for war than for wedlock, her engage
ment is annulled, and she is entered on
the roll of soldiers. From that on till
the day of her death she is more closely
guarded from temptation than the fair
est bud in the highest social circles of
civilization. It is death for her to violate
any of the rules to which she is subject
ed, and she is more isolated from the
vther sex than a nun. The man who
dares keep the road when a squad of
ainnzons approaches, does so at the peril
of his life. The tinkle of the amazon
bell warns all males to retreat or dodge
down some byway until the warrior
women have passed on. Only the fa
vored few who are allowed to carry the
lion stick of the king dare meet bis ma
jesty's body guard face to face.
Although the ainnzons can never wed,
married women who enter the regiments
are allowed to keep up their domestic re
lations, but all their female children are
auiazons from birth, and the only future
before them is (lie celibate life of the sol
dier.
Although it is a capital crime to ap
proach or court a member of this famous
body guard of Dahomey's monarch, love is
the same the world over and laughs alike
at locksmiths or the most dreadful penal
ties. Not along ago the king learned
that 150 of his amazons had entered into
matrimonial relations in violation of the
laws and without his consent. All the
guilty women wero killed at Agbome,
and their husbands shared their fate.
On their march inland the French will
find themselves much troubled by the
lack of water. It is scarcer and gener
ally worse than the rum, being half mud.
If they catch the king of the country
they will secure a man who has a long
string of titles. Ho is described as "big
ness with no way of lifting;" "a rock the
finger nail cannot scratch;" "the lion of
lions."
In the French chamber of deputies re
cently M. Etienne stated the cause of
the disagreement between the two na
tions. He said that the king of Da
homey had refused to recognize the
French protectorate over the slave coast,
and had invaded that territory, but had
been repulsed. He also said that if the
king refused to satisfy the demands of
Franco it would be necessary to take
vigorous measures, not with a view to
the conquest of Dahomey, but for pur
pose of giving n salutary lesson to the
king and people.

MURDERED IN A SWAMP.

well was hanged. The man whose neck
is in danger this tiuie is Reginald Birch
ell, and if the story told at the coroner's
inquest is correct, he lured his victim
from England to Canada on the pretense
of forming a partnership as gentlemen
farmers, and then murdered him in cold
blood to secure his cash and valuables.
The accused person is young in years,
of good address and well connected. His
wife is the daughter of a well known
citizen of London.
The spot where Benwell was done to
death is an uncanny thicket set in the
midst of swamps, and is desolate and
fearful in its isolation. The body when
found was lying astride a rotten stump.
The legs were partly crossed, and the
head bent backward against the spine.

A QUEER MISSOURI JAIL.
How Prisoner* Fare When Incarcerated at
Gainesville.
At Gainesville, tbe capital of Ozark
county, Mo., there is a jail of unique con
struction. It is a two story log building
eight by ten feet, and twenty feet high.
There is neither door nor window to the
lower story, and the upper story is
reached by a ladder from the ground to
a small platform at the heavy door, which
is always double locked and barred.
OZAKK COUNTY JAIL.
There are six grated windows to the
upper story, and when the jailer is inside
and the ladder drawn up the place is al
most as impregnable as a fortress. The
top floor is used for detaining ordinary
criminals, but desperate characters are
placed in the dungeon beneath, the en
trance being through a trap door and
down n ladder. The place has no light
save that furnished by a small kerosene
lamp. Food is supplied the inmates in a
bucket lowered by a rope into the hole.
Eight men are now confined in the dun
geon, and, despite its dismalness, the
jailer thinks they are lucky to be there,
as ''they uns are boss thieves."

New York city. The modeling of the
side figures, and also of the body of Mr.
Grady's statue, will be done in New
York. When the time comes to make
the head Mr. Doyle will remove his studio
to Atlanta, where he can obtain the best
suggestions to secure a perfect likeness.

The figures will- be cast in bronze, and
either Georgia marble or Georgia granite
will be used in constructing the shaft.
According to the scale of prices charged
by artists of note the work which Mr.
Doyle proposes to do would to worth
over SOO,OOO. He has consented, how
ever, to undertake the task for a less
amount, partly because of his friendship
for th noted editor whose memory the

WASHINGTON'S INSANE ASYLUM.
A IlanilMoitio Structure Tlmt Will Accom
modate .'IOO Patients.
The stato of Washington lias now near
ly ready for occupancy a new insane
asylum at Medical Lake. The failure of
the lirst contractors delayed the work on
tho building for a time, but the project
was carried to successful completion
early in the present year by another
firm. The asylum stands about a quar
ter of a mile from the west bank of the
lake. On the opposite side of that sheet
of water is the town. The hospital
grounds are sightly, and comprise 100
acres of land, forty of which are suitable
for growing vegetables, and fruit can be
produced on a much larger area. There
is also a quarry of gray granite, and
brick clay exists in abundance, so tho
slate will have several sources of revenue
from the property.
pittite
THE ASYLUM AT MEDICAL LAKE.
The asylum, as it now stands, is a
structure 41(5 feet long, and of an aver
age width of 48 feet. It is of brick, with
granite trimmings, and rests on a granite
foundation. The bricks were made and
the granite quarried on the ground. The
main building is 74x48 on the ground, and
four stories high. There is one ward on
either side, each being 171x48, and three
stories in height. The granite founda
tion walls are 24 inches thick, and the
brick walls 17 inches thick. The roof is
of metallic shingles. There are 260
rooms, and accommodations for 300 pa
tients. There are three reservoirs for
use in case of fire, above the roof, hold
ing 80,000 gallons of water. Completely
furnished, the asylum will represent an
outlay to the state of §200,000.
Tin* Coming; COIINUK.
The count of people in the United
States will be made for a certain day in
midsummer, probably iate in June, and
experts are already giving somo ingeni
ous estimates of (lie result. They vary
from 64,000,000 to 08,000,000. One part
of the latter estimate is of great interest.
It is as follows: Since 1880 the number
of immigrants in any one year has only
twice fallen below 400,000, and that but
a trifle, while it lias risen as high as
788,992 in 1882. The registered immi
gration for the ten years is certainly
above 5,000,000. Avid the unregistered
from Canada and e.sewhere, and the
total cannot fall below 5,500,000, of whom
at least 3,000,000 wi re between the ages
of 10 and 40.
Of so many at the marrying ages (for
a child of lu in 1831 is now aged 19) there
must have been at least 1,000,000 mar
riages, averaging five years duration
each; and previous censuses show that
of such newly formed families of for
eigners the average is two children each
living at the end of five years. Add,
therefore, 2,000,000 for the native child
ren of newly arrived foreigners. Total,
7,500,000 added by foreigners alone. De
ducting their deaths—and the great mass
of them come in the prime of life and
health— thetotal would still remain above
.6,000,000. 11, is a -umed that the increase
of the 50,000,000 and odd of 1880 has
been at least 22 percent., while some put
it as high as 23 per cent. Thus they
make the total 67,000,000 or 68,000,000.
It will bo interesting to see bow the facts
decide.

dent's family comfortable. She has bad
several conferences with senators and
representatives regarding the inadequate
accommodations of the executive man
sion for the dual purposes of offices and
residence, and has received assurance of
co-operation in lier plans. The theory
of Mrs. Harrison's design is the preserva
tion of the original building intact, the
addition on the east and west respective
ly of counterparts of the original struct
ure in general architectural style, their
connection with the main edifice by a
colonnade range, and the extension on
the south of a wide conservatory or win
ter garden, with a central rotunda or
palm house, the entire series of struct
ures forming the four sides of an inner
park. To carry out Mrs. Harrison's
ideas will cost §700,000.

Regarding bis methods the doctor re

"When a patient comes here, after
being bitten by a rabid animal, I wait
two days after the day of tho bite, and
then, if the case is an ordinary one and
has no specially severe features, I inocu

successive days. In the event of the
wounds being sore, I inoculate eighteen
days with stronger virus. I always begin
with the weaker virus."
Executions In France.
Executions in France are still sur
rounded with lugubrious mystery. The
condemned do not know when they are
to die, and almost any morning after
conviction may be rudely awakened at
daybreak and conducted to the guillo
tine. This was the case recently with
two lads who were under sentence for
murder at Paris. They went to sleep one
night, confident of a commutation of
sentence. At dawn they were told to
prepare for the end, and ten minutes
later their heads dropped in the execu
tioner's basket. The French are nothing
if not sensational, even in the manner of
punishing criminals.
The Dcutli of tlie C himpanzee, Kiltie.
The death of Kittie, the last of the
chimpanzees in Central park, New York,
probably decides the question of securing
these interesting and intelligent animals
for exhibition. They cannot stand the
climate, and it seems almost like murder
to export them from their native wilds.
They inhabit a limited area of the Congo
country, and can only be secured alive
when infants, and then by the slaughter
of the parents. The "babies'' are nursed
by African women until old enough to
eat, and then sold to traders. But exile
means death, and they are a costly and
unprofitable investment.

This bridge is intended to be used

WARRANTING FIREARMS.
Au Interesting Sufi Showing the ltespon
nihility of a Dealer in Itltiea.
A sportsman has recovered £I,OOO
damages from a firm in London for breach
of warranty as to a rifle purchased by
the plaintiff. The case was settled in
court, after the plaintiff's case had been
opened and a certain amount of evidence
called, by the defendants submitting toa
verdict of £I,OOO and costs. The result
of this compromise was that certain in
teresting issues and legal points in the
case were not threshed out. What those
points were will be seen from a sketch of
the cause of action.
The plaintiff is Mr. F. Hallo well Care w,
a gentleman on the sunny side of thirty,
and possessed of considerable private
means. He lias gone in freely for sport
since attaining his majority; he has fig
ured in the pigskin between the flags,
and in 1888 he bethought himself of that
reputed sportsman's Eden, Southeast
Africa, and its resources of big game.
The defendants are Rowland Ward &
Co., the naturalists and taxidermists of
Piccadilly. Mr. Carew, prior to starting
on his African trip, visited Messrs.
Ward's establishment and took some les
sons in skinning animals.
In the course of conversation with Mr.
Ward he mentioned that he contemplat
ed obtaining his rifles from Holland's,
the well known gunmakers, and one of
the Ward firm thereupon volunteered to
him that they could supply him with the
weapons which he would need, of equal
quality to those which he could obtain
at Holland's, but at half the price. Mr.
Carew accordingly consented to deal
with them, and ordered from them the
rifles which they suggested for his own
use, together with the five-and-twenty
Sniders for the use of his African native
staff; he also bought his ammunition
from the defendants.
The rifles were delivered to him, the
invoice being made out in the name of
the defendants. He then took the rifles
down to Nunhead to test them as to
sighting, and on that occasion, and not
previously, according to his evidence, the
name of some third party as the manu
facturer of them was mentioned to him
by some one speaking on behalf of de
fendants. The trial with the rifles satis
fied him; he fired from the one which
was the cause of action about ten trial
shots. lie did not personally inform
himself as to the charge which he used
in the trials; but it seems that he used
ammunition supplied by the defendants,
and similar to that which he was taking
from them for his use in Africa.
In due time Mr. Carew sailed for Zan
zibar, and started up country, spending
about £I,OOO on his trip. Before long
one of these rifles burst in his hands,
causing him most serious injury, maim
ing liim and disfiguring him more or
less for life. His left hand is perma
nently crippled; powder has burned into
the skin of his face, and his hearing has
been impaired by the explosion. His
trip was, of course, spoiled by the catas
trophe, and the outlay upon it was
wasted. It appears that ho had fired
the rifle which had burst some dozen
times after ho reached Africa. On the
occasion of the accident it was loaded
with a cartridgo supplied by defendants.
An expert examination of the burst
rifle disclosed the cause of its weakness.
The hole for the extractor pin had been
in the lirst instance bored into the wall
of the barrel.
1 The workman had then plugged the
hole with steel wire and had rebored the
hole. The effect of this boring had been
to make the barrel defective in strength,
leaving only one-sixty-fourth of an inch
of metal where there should have been
one-eighth. The explosion was due to
this defective workmanship, according
to the expert evidence of Mr. S. B. All
port, the celebrated gunmaker, who is
also chairman of the Birmingham proof
board. —London Field.
The Telephone in Germany.
The telephone service is admirable, as
is testified by the public appreciation,
there being over 10.000 instruments in
use in Berlin. There are no private tele
phone companies in Germany, the tele
phone, like the telegraph, being a branch
of the postal service. The price for tele
phone service is low, the annual charge
for an instrument being 120 marks, or
something less than §BO. The long dis
tance service between the principal cities
of the empire is being rapidly introduced.
A telegram received for a person who has
a telephone is at once delivered orally
from the central office, and the written
message then forwarded by the local post.
Likewise a telegram is transmitted by
the sender to the telegraph office by tele
phone. The telephones in use are manu
factured by Siemens & Halske, the great
electricians, and arc said to be a great im
provement upon the Bell patent, upon
which they are based.—Cor. Mexican
Financier.
A Term It for Smoking.
Nowadays Germany might well be
called "the smokers' home." Every Ger
man has his pipe and can smoke when
ever he will, and within certain limits
wherever he will. There are no restric
tions against the use of tobacco, and
one's desires in that direction are only
circumscribed in particular places —such
as churches, lecture rooms, opera houses,
etc. But at one time in certain parts of
Germany a man dare not walk on the
street or highway with a pipe in his
mouth without special permission so to
do, for which permission he paid a year
ly stipend.—Buffalo Commercial.
Tliti Importance of Occupation.
There is nothing that adds more to the
zest of life than an interesting occupa
tion; even if it means hard work, there is
a recompense in the enjoyment of well
earned rest. No work ought, however,
to be overpowering or so exhaustive that
one's energies fall below their aspira
tions. On the other hand, no life is so
thoroughly wretched as one where the
necessity and desire for work is entirely
wanting; and this is particularly
persons of education and qiteUigen.eewho
allow themselves to fait into that unset
tled condition of mind where nothings
of interest.—Herald of Health.
