coaD1T1ox OF THE NEGRO.

CONDITION. OF THE NEGRO.
Poets, abolitionists and other visionary
and fanatical people, who deplore the con-
dition Of the negro in America, would do
we'll occasionally to glance at him in his
native country.
Rev. Mr.. Beachman, member Of the
"London Wesleyan Mission," has recently
returned from visit to Africa, and in the
sketch Of the social condition Of the ne.
groes inhabiting the gold coast and its vi
cinity, he furnishes truly awful picture
thus
Scarcely has one Of their barbarous and
bloody customs been abandoned, from the
earliest period of which anything is known
Of them. They will even pave their court
yards, palaces. and even the street, or mar
ket places Of their villages or towns, with
the skulls of those butchered in the wars,
at feasts, funerals, or at sacrifices to Bos-
sum.
Still their wives and slaves are burned
alive with their deceased husbands or
masters. When Adahanzen died two hum
dred and eighty Of his wives were butcher
ed before the arrival Of his successor. which
put stop to it, only to increase the flow
Of blood and the number Of deaths in 9th.
er ways. The remaining living wives
were buried alive amid dancing, singing
and bewailing, the noise ofmuskets. horns,
drums, yells, groans and screeches, the
women marching by headless trunks, be-
daubed themselves with mud and blood.
These victims were msrched along with
large knives passed through their cheeks.
The executioners struggle for the bloody
Office, while the victims look on and en-.
dure with apathy. They were too amil-
Jar with the horrid sacrifice to chow ter
FOR. or to imagine that all was not as il
should be. Their hands were chopped Of
and then their heads sawed of, to prolong
the amusement. Even some who assist.
ed to fill the graves were then hustled in
alive. in order to add to the sport or the
solemnity Of the scence. Upon the death
Of the king brother, four thousand victims
were then sacrificed. These ceremonies
are often repeated, and hundreds slaush-
tered at every rehearsal. Uponthe death
Of King Ashantee, q general massacre
takes place, in which there can be no
commutation Of the many victims.
At their Yam customs, Mr.. Bowditch,
witnessed spectacles Of the most appalling
kind. Every cabocer or noble sacrificed
q slave ~ be entered the gate. Heads
and skulls formed the ornaments in their
possession. Hundreds were slain: and
the streaming and ,eeming blood Of the
victims was mingled in one vast brass
pan, with various vegetables and animal
matter, fresh rs well rs putrid. to compose
a powerf.l Fetebie. At these customs
the same scenes of butchery and slaDg hteI
occur. The Kings execntioners traverse
the city, killing all they meet. The next
day desolaiion reigns over the land. The
king, during the bloody saturnalia, looked
on eagerly, and danced in his chair with
delight.
The king Dehorey rpaves the approach.
20 TO his residence, and ornaments the bat
lements of his palace with the skulls Of Biz
victims; and the great Etchie tree u

with human carcasses and limbs. rel

Noscs.-Little slumpy noses, it is said,
Indicate weakness Of mind or inperfec,
moral development.
Short, thick noses, Indicate : strong
sensual disposition.
A turned up nose, with wide, open
nostrils. is certain sign Of empty. pom.
pous vanity, and belongs to most truly
called = ps6ed up" who lack that charity
which vaunieth not ITSELF
Large nostrils, generally pass as m in
dication Of strength, pride and courage, u
small ones show fear and weakness.
A large, strongly, marked nose, is rare
in the fair sex, and when found is sure
sign Of masculine temper, or undue
development Of the less refined sensations
Pale, prim lips, and sharp nose. in .
woman, reminds us Of the Witch Of Endor.
The Chinese, have = fancy for small
noses. Tho Mongols and Tartars think
noses are tho most beautiful which are
least seen. Djengis Khan's Empress be-
came the exposure Of oil eyes, having M
nose, but only two holes.
