Their song is the school and the street; I shall miss the low hum of their voices, *nd tha tramn of their nattering feet. When the lessons of life are all ended, And Death says, "The school is dismissed!" May the little ones gather around me, To bid me good-night and be kissed. SAVAGE LIFE IN AFRICA. Hl'MAN SACRIFICES AND AMAZONS IN DA HOMEY. An Englishman, Mr. J. A. Sketchly, has just returned from Dahomey, on the west coast of Africa, and is now furnish tug-some interesting illustrations from his sketch book to the Illustrated London News. For six months Mr. Sketchly wan tUo g??t of the K.fng, t>y wnom Ik was very hospitably treated. He is the only white man that has been admitted into the private apartments of the King, There is no town in Dahomey. The capital is merely one of the royal palaces with official residences for the high officers and the serr&nts; while the Amazons reside within the palace in long, barnlike buildings immediately outside and surrounding the King's private apartments. At each of his nine palaces there are 4,000 of these Amasons. Before Mr. Skctcldy was admitted tc the palace he went through cermonials lasting three days, during which he was created a prinee of the the royal blood, a duke, and a general of the army, but not of the Amazons. lie was then permitted to then see the various customs. He was an eye-witness to the grand annual cermonial when the principal human sacrifices take place. For the sacrifice called the Men-hoowho, the king reclines on a wicker-work lounge in his palace. lie wears only a blue cotton robe, as he considers his dignity so great that he can afford to - dress - ^ i~*L:? in oramary ciuiuiug. iit-uuc. king nor the members of the royal family ever dress in gaudy attire. Above the king's head an umbrella is extended, and this is gorgeous with scarlet, blue and yellow figures, cut out with a knife from ailk velvet and damask.? The Amasons sew the pieces together, so as to form emblematic devices. The bird is indicative of royalty. None but the princes of Dahomey are allowed to adopt it. The top of the umbrella is surmounted by a wooden ornament, representing a man with a bird in his hand. The Amazons aro seated around the king. Between them and the people a number of bamboo rods are placed in a line upon the ground. Any man who crosses one of these rods suffers immediate death. Koldierg bring in the victims ?slaves taken in war, and generally old Tt, air a pa ? i>nul liir iniinno nf n UJtni* *MVT WI V ? wj Uivuiig UI stick with grans rope wrapped round it, which fills up the whole mouth, and is tied at the back of the head. Their hands are fastened together, and they are firmly hound to baskets which are carried on the soldiers heads. Their bodies are entirely naked, save a single cloth around the loins. Conical hats are kept on their heads until just hefore decapitation. The prime minister lies prostrate and receives in that position a message from the king to the victims. This message is to he carried to the father of the present king, who died about ( nine years ago. For their subsistence on the way he gives them each a bottle of rum and a bead of cowries. The men are then taken to a platform twenty feet high in an adjacent court yard; then they art oast hsadlong still bound to ths bas? kets. The executioners then cut oft a their heads and exhibit them to the peo- t pie; after which they are placed 011 the \ wooden altar to ornament the palace i gate. Three days after the bends are i taken within the altar, where they arc ! cleaned by the Amazons, and ihen used t for State drinking cups, ornaments for i drums, flagstafls, and other purposes.? < The bodies of the victims are dragged by ; the crowd through tie marketplace, and 1 arc finally thrown into a ditch outside Ab- 1 omey, where the hvenns soon make short 1 work of them. Thousands of skeletons are in this ditch, but not a skull. The me* appear to have no fear of death.? MrSketchly states that he bos frequently looked in a man's face when he was about to have his head cut oft", and not a muscle seemed to indicate either emotion or four. The present king is more merciful than his predcessors were. He is endeavoring to reduce the fearful sacrifices of human life entailed upon him on his accession to the throne by the customs of the country. He generously spares the lives of a number of victims intended for sacrifice. No women are ever killed for sacrifice, although they like the men are brought out on the heads of the Amazons, to bo carried around the court yard. Further of the Farmers' Movement. From tke Baltimore Sun. , The whole effective population of the . United States who are engaged in gainful or productive pursuits, embracing in those^rerms all trades and professions, domestic employments, commerce, manufactures, mining, navigation and agriculture numbers a little over 12,000,000 persons. Of that number nearly 6,000,000, or almost one half are occupied with agriculture. In the western States, the proportion of agriculturists is rather larger, because in the nature of things, se veral important industries, such as raining, navigation and the fisheries, are in some measure confined to the Atlantic border. It is obvious, from a glance at the figures,[that the agriculturists, if united, must be the controlling power in the country, and that it requires only intelliSrat concert among themselves to direct e policy and impress the legislation of the several States as well as the General Government. Feeling that they needed no protection, the farmers have heretofore been loth to meddle as a distinctive . body in public affairs, and have been I content for the most part, to leave such I matters to those whose pui suits better j admitted of participation inmakign laws . and administering government! Other interests have not been slow to avail i ; tnemselves of the supineness of agricul, | ture, and liaVe found their advantage in i combination and action. Indeed, sy*, fcvMMuidully of late years, they have foist. ed their representative men, and in many [ instances, their paid agents into the legislatures and all places of power, for the exclusive Durnose of sraininiinr undue ad At O O vantages, through the policy or patronage of Government. It is only necessary to look at the membership ot the leading committees of the Congress of the United [ States for ample proof of this. At the head of the Committee on Banking and , Currency in the last Congress was one of the wealthiest bankers of New Eng, land, standing like a sentinel to prevent . any legislation looking to a restoration , of a sound currency. Wealthy railroad mei and shipping nun and manufactu| rers ow other committees, where subsidies were to be considered, land grants were | to be worked up, and high tariffs to be concocted or 1 eductions resisted. And outside, within the potent lobby, the paid agents of them all soliciting, arguing, writing and corrupting in behalf of their employers. What is true of the Con gress of the United States has been true in degree of the legislatures of the States, hut less noticeably, because the range of subjects over which the former hare control, is such that the interests of the classes which antagonize agriculture may bo more immediately and powerfully affected and promoted by congressional than by State legislation. The legitimate fruit of this course of things has been realized in the depression of agriculture, nnd in the exaltation , of some other pursuits. Gradually and imperceptibly have the burdens of agri- j culture been increasing, and the advantages relatively of other classes been accumulating until the cry for redress anil reformation is forced from the too patient tillers of the soil. They now see ; ! and feel that they need protection against [ < the protectionists?not that protection 11 I which consists in favoritism, !>ut simply j ' i tlint protection which ?heer justice re- (< ! quires?the modification or abrogation ; 1 ; of the discriminating privileges which one 1 and another class have stealthily ucquir- I ed; the restoration, or at least an ap-1? prouch to it, of tliut equality which leaves ? j each and every industry free to struggle i with atiy other, untrainincled by undue governmental restrictions or patronage. ! j Whetlrcr the demand he for striking; I j down the gross exactions by railroad ' monopolists, or whether it be for the pro-1' viding a currency which shall he accept- s ed by the Government at the same rate !1 in payment of customs and duties as the r farmer is required to receive it for a : i bushel of wheat, or whether it he for al ' j lowing the farmer to have his s*-It for j' pork packing at the same price that the i s fisherman shall get his for his codfish I and mackerel, or whether it he for ena-1 Ming the farmer to buy his implements, ti his raiment and other needs in manufuc- t< tures us best he may, without that du- a plication of taxes in many forms which v 1(1(1 so immensely to the cost?these, ach anil all of them, are grievances, vhich the whole country feels, and which t is gratifying to see now command the ittention of so large a class. Whatever jurdens fall upon the farmer in the payoent erf sik-h necessary duties and taxes is the just debts and reasonale expenses ?f maintaining the social and political structure require, he is willing to share equally and fairly with the other orders in the social fabric. All beyond that is a grievance, especially now that American manufactures are on such a fooling of development as to stand alone and to compete successfully with in the iron interest as we are now doing, with the English manufactures in the home market. All class legislation is a grievance and a burden. And the farmers being, as already stated, the efficient half of society, the proposition becomes a startling truth in the plain affirmation that the course of national policy for twelve years past has been a direct oppression upon one half of the American people. The foregoing seems to be a partial interpretation of the as yet somewhat confused utterances of the Western farmer's movement, and which applies in a large degree to the labor of the country generally. As has already been indicated, they seem as yet but vaguely to comprehend the exact relations which they occupy to the upheaving of ideas which is impending. The first inutterings of a atnrm are indistinct in the mental as the material world, and the clouds seem to move sometimes in one direction and again in another. Nevertheless, the true impulsive force will come to be felt, ami wherever the impediment there will the power be applied to sweep it away. Remedy for Ague.?When the chill is at its height, the person must go to bed. Let another person dip a piece of flannel large enough to cover the bowels in cold brandy; don't wring it out of the flannel. Spread it on the table, dust it over with pepper out of the castor; then spread it over the bowels, pepper side down; give at tlia same time half a wine glassful of the brandy in which half a teaspoonful of the pepper has been mixed. This never fails to cure. Dandruff" is very readily removed from ;he scalp by putting a level teaspoonful of borax in a basin; add three or four tablespoonsful of warm water, and when well dissolved, rub this into the scalp and roots of the hair with the balls of the fingers; it soon makes a foam like soapsuds, and very effectually removes every particle of grease from the hair and scalp, o/.r>/?.n tliAonnlno a? tlnnflrnff* l<?ni*inor tlio auiirun viiv om?ivo w? ?v?* . hair and scalp perfectly clean; rinse well with warm water, then with cold; wipe the hair well with a soft towel, let it dry for a white, and then ?!???? it; it will he left almost like the softest silk, A handful of horax in ten gallons of water for washing elothes, which, if let remain in the water all night, will save half the amount of soap and half the labor of washing. If pulverized borax is scattered over shelves and other places where cockroaches congregate it will cause thein to disappear speedily. Wearing Flannel.?The majority of people are not aware of the beneficial effect of wearing flannels next to the body, both in cold and in warm weather. Flannel is not so uncomfortable in warm weather as prejudiced people believe.? Frequent colds and constant hacking coughs have left me since adopting flannel garments. There is no need of great bulk about the waist, which condemns the wearing flannel with those who prefer wasp waist to health, for in that case the flannel can he cut as loosely fitting waists, always fastened at the back. There are scarcely any of the bud effects of sudden changes felt by those who wear flannel garments, and mothers especially should endeavor to secure such for the little people, in preference to all those showy outside trimmings which fashion commands, A Good Liniment.?A mixture of equal parts of spirits of turpentine and kerosene oil is uu excellent liniment for Bore throat, cuts or bruises, 'swellings, rheumatic pains, ice.?good for man or beast. Fix up a small bottle of it, tightly corked, and have it ready, "Fellow sinners," said a preacher, "if )*ou were told that by going to the top of those stairs, yonder, pointing to a ricketty pair at one end of the church? "you might secure your eternal salvation, T don't believe any of you would try; but let any man proclaim that there ivcrca hundred dollars therefor you.and I'd guarantee that there would be such i getting up stairs that yru never did ice." tiriinr inr> v..mC salt.
