CIVILIZATION IN ETHIO.
F'IA.
Lecture of Paul B. Du 0ha1u on the
Witcraft and Religion of Africa.
Mr. Paul B. Du Chaillu lectured
Friday night at Association Hall,
New York, on the "Witchcraft and
Superstitions of Africa." I am
going to take you again, said he,
into the jungle of Equatorial Africa.
Stanloy met that junglo at the hoad
waters of the Congo ; he met there
the cannibals I saw and the dwarfs
I discovered. And what a jungle:
it is ! At the end of each day's
journey I made, no negro could tell
me where that vast forest onded.
There are great dangers thero, and
Gometimes one has to fight the poo~
ple. It is not very pleasant to fight;
it was not very pleasant for Stanley
but lie had to fight or be killed.
The Doople are scattered in great
tribes, divided into clans and the
clans into families, the chiefs and
the old men making the laws.
Three institutions are everywhere
prevalent-polygamy, slavery and
wi.tchcraft. It is wonderful how
those peoplo love to get married.
They marry all the timo and never
get tired of it. 3oino of them marry
as old as eighty-five or ninety years,
just as some of us do at home, you
know. [Laughtur. I The largest
number of wive I have seen be
longing to one man was about three
hundred, and when I asked him
how many children he had, he said
between si- and eight hundred.
Two handred mora or less didn't
seem to tronble hira at all. The
wives are not slaves, but their hus
bands buy them when they are
three or four years old from their
fathers ; that is a sort of dowry.
Polygamy is also a political institu
tion. The tribes are always at war,
and hence a man tries to get as
many wivea as he can from the eur
romniding tribes, so as to ha-e
friends among them. They have a
great iohorrence of blood relation
ship aid no man is allowed to take
a wife of his ovi clan.
THEIR wITOuORArT AND CANNIBALISM.
The great curse of that country
is its superstitions, and it is very
hard to get at the bottom facts
about tlir:r religious beliei. They
have two names which represent
our ideas of God and the devil.
The devil is the source of all evil
and witchcraft. When a person is
sick he is bewitched by some one,
and t1ho sorcerer and sorceress have
to be killed. The doctors point
thoem out, and they have to swallow
poison to prove their innocehce.
Thlis poison is tihe root of a tree
called bun do, belonging to the
strychnine ord6r, but those doctors.
take it and do not die. Here, if a
man sees the new moon over his
right shoulder, or his left, it is
lucky or unlucky ; but there it is
unlucky if he sees tile now moon at
all, and on the day of the new moon
nobody dare go out of his hut. The ~
queen of witchcraft lives in the
moon, and the people of the world
are the insects on which witchcrafti
feeds, and whmen witchcraft is very1
hungry she sends the plague and
kills more people. Those wvho have ~
any Connection with the spirit in
the moon are women and must be!
in a trance. The p)eople are honestI
in thleir beliefs, but of course there I
is jugglory among them, among ~
them. Among many tribes cannm.
balism exists, but I think it is a sort
of religious feast, as they do not kill
people purposely except prisoners
of war. As among tile Indians, t
Lhey have no mercy on those taken e
in war. I made inquiries about this a
oannibalism. I wanted to know; e
which were the best eating, women, 'I
or men. They all agreed that the
women were best. They didn't tell 'i
rne anythin neow, for I know that
before. [Laughter.J Their war 'a
lauce is perfectly terrible. They a
sover themselves all over with war a
paint and with clay that has been m
saturated with the decayed flesh m
ma brains from the heads of their
lead warriors, which they always
keep in a particular house in every
village. Then they have a dance, t
md when 'morning comes each man C
muts his hand in several pIapes and I

solves with that blood and thea go

SOME SUGGESTIONS TO MISSIONARIEs.
The most difficult thing the mis
sionaries have to do is to bring
themselves to a level of thinking
with these people. Some of these
negroes aro very fierce. They
would not be so bad if the traders
did not bring them such an amount
of spirits. It is laughable some
times to see the missionaries on the
deck of a ship and the barrels of
ruin under tie deck, both going to
the same place. They are kind to
the missionaries, but you know
when one gets a little civilized he
gets sellish, and they know that
where the missionary comes the
trader will follow, and they like,
trade. Stanley has made a great
grand journoy. If you will look at
the I-bor of 4htt mn you will see
it is perfectly marvelous. And how
quickly lie did it I He explored
the lakes discovered by Speke,
Burton, Baker and Livingstone,
followed the Congo river past any
unount of rapids, and fought his
way through to the coast. Living
stone was a great man, but his
labors were in South Africa. Stan
loy just went right through under
Lhe equator and in that deadly cli
rante where the natives had been
ipoiled and made fierce by the slave
brade. I think the journeys of
peke and Livingstone and Stanley
md Cameron are the finest journeys
hat ever were made in modern or
lden times.
