stood the Johanniti Master, the Master
in the Mark, Saxony, Pomerania and
Wendland, who exercised jurisdiction
over Braudenburg, Hungary, Bohemia
and Denmark, land resided in Heitersheim
in the Breisgan. The last Johanniti
Master, Count Of Reichenbach Four
maigne, lost by the Peace of Presburg,
and the institution of the confederation
of the Rhine, all his possessions in the
western part of Swabia, which went to
the Grand Duke of Baden. England,
as early as the 10th century, separated
from the Order; the three French
Tongues lost their existence during the
Revolution the Castilian and Arsagon-
ese were separated from Malta after the
peace at Amiens, and the Italian and
German Tongues had also ceased dur
ing the lale events. The Order may
therefore be considered as at an end,
especially as Malta was formerly ceded
TO England. The Knights of St. John
observed, besides the above named VOWS,
the rules of the Augustine order; the
Professionals were, however, not obliged
TO live unmarried. All the members
were obliged to be of good old nobility.
The knights who could prove their an
cestry in the strictest manner were cal
led Cavalieri d. Justizia; the others, on
the contrary, who found it difficult to
prove the antiquity Of their families,
but who were taken into the Order on
account of their merits, we're called
Cavalier di Grazia. The duty Of the
Knights, to take the field three times a.
gainst the heather or against the pirates
was in latter times but little observed,
and, by the Peace of Amiens, all hostil-
ity against the Turks was put AN end to.
The dress of the Knights consisted, dur
ing winter, in long bhck cloak; on
the left breast they wore an eight corn
cred star, in the middle Of which was a
golden cross; inwar they were adorn-
ed with red girdle and silver cruel
fix. The Order was subjected to the
Pope only in ecclesiastical affairs, and
in all temporal matters the Order was
invested with the full powers Of sover-
eighty. Their naval force consisted, in
1870, in four gallies, three .galhots, four
ships OF sixty guns, and two frigates of
80, as well as several small vessels.

FROM THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
At meeting of the Trustees of the

full bred Herefordshire Bull, of one
year old, and full blooded Heifer of
the same breed, raised by Sir |. G. Cot
terel, 3aronet, and purchased by Admir-
al Sir Isaac Coffin, and by him presented

We congratulate the friends oE~Agri-

the advantage Of them.
We cannot omit to take notice Of the
great liberalty of Sir Isaac Coffin, in
thus repeatedly sending out, at great

THE AFRICAN KINGDOM OF
ASHANTEE.

The melancholy intelligence which
we had last week to record respecting
the loss Of the British forces in Africa,
and the probable death of their COM
mander, has excited strong and natur-
al interest in this country to know
something Of their conquerers.
The Ashantee territory is situated in
Africa, adjoining the Gold Coast, and its
capital called Coomassie, is not more
than $50 miles from the settlement of
the English at Cape Coast Castle, and
yet till the year 1917, when a mission
was sent to the Ashantees in order to put
an end TO the horrible cruelties which
that nation had committed, and >were
perPetrating on the Fantees, Ga small
nation on the borders of the Gold Coasi)
the former people were almost as IN
known as if they had been inhabitants Of
another planet.
The Ashantees present a singular, and
we think rare union of civilization,
with the most barbarous and detestable
superstition. We read with surprise
and admiration, Of a city said to contain
upon their grand festivals, 100000 in
habitants, under regular control by off,
GERS appointed to each district, supplied
with an excellent and daily market, and
KEPT in great degree of cleanliness.
The inhabitants lou are said to excel in
the manufacture Of different kinds of
cloths, of surprising beauty and fineness ;
they are good goldsmiths, have capital
potteries,and paint expeditiousy and not
inelegantIy; they work finely in iron,
tan leather, and are excellent carpen-
terss We are sorry to add the horrid
reverse TO this picture. The Ashantees
appear plunged in the most gross and
AFFECT idolatry and when we have
read the details of their sacrifices of hu-
man victims, and the tortures prepare
tory 10 them, it is impossible to wonder
at any ferocity which they may exercise
towards their enemies. At all theiI
festivals, or customs as they are called
some one of which occur every2l days
not fewer than 100 victims are inmolat-
ed with the most barbarous rites. Be
sides these, there are sacrifices at the
death of every person ofrank, more Of
less bloody according. TO their dignity
On the death of his mother, the king
buIchered no less than three Mousnnc
victims and On his own death this mum
Der would probably be doubled. The
funeral rites Of great captain were re
peated weekly for three month AM
two hundred persons were slaughtered
each time, or 2400 in all. Some o
these are freemen, as tits usual to" we
the grave" with the blood Of some per
son Of re,psctdbiiity. On somo occasion
the sacrifices consist of temalb s.--Slave
are continually sacrificed by their priest
over large brass pans, that their blood
mingling with various o.heF matter, ma
complete the charm, and produce irwin
chile fetish. When their crops are dul

Rome, has published an account ofsome
singular experiments made by him on
snakes. Among others he ende ayoured
10 ascertain the truth of the assertions
OF the ancients respecting the prsdiIec-
ton or snakes for music and dancing. In
the month of July 1922, about noon, he
put into large box auumber of different
kinds of snakes, all quite lively, with the
exception of some vipers, which were
enclosed in separate box. As soon as
they heard the harmonious tones of an
organ, all the non-venomous serpeuts
became agitated in an extraordinary
manner they attached themselves 80
the sides OF the box, and made every ef
fort to escape. The Eldphis and the
coluber Esculipii turned towards the TO-
strument, The vipers for their part
Exhibited no symptoms Of sensibiity.
This experiment has been frequently
repeated, and always with the same re
suits.

REsEMBLANcE.-An instance has lately
occurred of two persons resembling eaci,
other so closely as to produce very un-
pleasant consequences. A man was
lately tried for theft at Baltimore, and
indicted by the name of Henry Chase
alias John Butlar, against whom the ev,
idence was SO direct thata first no doubt
was entertained of his guilt. II turned
out however, in the course of the inves
tigation, that the prisoner, who had new
er borne any other name than John But
Ter, had deem mistaken for person
named Henry Chase, the actual. thief,
whose resemblance to the prisoner as
so great, that it was difficult 10 distinguish
them apart. They had both a scar Of the
same kind, aud on the same part of the
face, andin most other respects were like
each other. The character of the pris-
oner was proved to be good, while that of
Chase was shown to be extremely bad.
The jury without leaving the box return
ed verdict ofnot guiiy.-W YE. Post.
