Warfare In Dahomey.
(PalI Mall Gazette.

The system of warfare" followed by
the Dahomians is the usual barbarous one
of surprise. When the king declares war
"a formality which he carefully observes
year after year-he rarely tells even the
chief "caboceers" the name of the town
he intends to attack. The army marches
out and when within days journey or
so of its unhappy objective point silence
at pain of instant death is en- Joined, and
no fires are permitted to be lighted All
stragglers are taken prisoners aud the
army is led through a road cut through
the bush, and not along the regular high
ways.
The town is surrounded in dead of
night, and just before daybreak rush is
made. and every man, woman, and child
not killed in the melee is captured If pos
sible, and sent to the Dahomian capital,
Abomey, where some grace the succeed
ing custom annual sacrificial ceremonieS)
aud others are sent as slaves to distant
parts of the kingdom. Cannibalism, or
something that approaches it very nearly,
enters into the rites of the ninth or con-
Guiding ceremony of the yearly custom
-Four men, known as the menduton or
cannibals. each furnished with sharp
ened sticks by way of fork and knife, are
stationed in front of the platform from
which the victims are thrown before de-
capitation
take the body and cut off pieces of the
flesh, which they rub with palm oil and
roast over fire kindIed in the square
before the platform. The human flesh is
then skewered on the pointed sticks and
carried around before the crowd, after
which these fiends parade before the state
prisoners, and go through the action of
eating the sickening morsels. They chew
the human meat before the terrified cap
tives, but do not swallow it; and when
they have worked upon the fears of the
poor wretches for a sufficient time they
retire, and, splitting out the chewed flesh,
take strong native medicine, which acts
like an emetic and it is to be sincerely
hoped that the dose is by no means
stinted

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.

A contagious disease has broken
out among cattle in Nevada which,
being signally fatal, is believed to be
pieuro-pneumonia. This disease was
introduced into the States in 1843,
and has spread widely. In England
its ravages, combined with the
equally fatal foot and mouth disease,
cost British farmers more than the
national debt i'm loss of stock. Pro-
fessOr Law, of Cornell University,
has made thorough study of pleurO-
pneumonia, and in his opinion the
disease is always the result of con-
tagion or Infection
The symptoms come on insidiously,
appetite and denomination are irregular,
there is fever, dizziness, ii short, half
involuntary cough, with quickening
breath ami pulse. In cows, the yield
of milk is early diminished. After
three or four days large portions of
the lungs become filled with the
products of Inflammation, hence the
labored breathing, quick, indistinct
pulse; wasting and fatal weakness.
DeatlI generally occurs in from ten
to twenty days. The disease may be
communicated through immediate
contact, through the atmosphere for
a considerable distance, by the in
halatiOn of pulmonary exudatiOn
when placed in the nO5irils, from the
impreguated clothing of attendants,
infected buildings, manure, pastures,
fodder, etc. The disease is confined
to the bovine genus, and all its mem
bers, irrespective of age or sex, APP
pear to be equally liable to it's attacks;
but, as in many other ailments, those
animals which have once had the
disease are exempt from future at
tacks.
There is a doubt, however, whether
the Nevada disease is true pleuro-
pneumonia, inasmuch as horses and
hogs have succumbed to it as well as
cattle. The fact of the existence of IL
fatally Infectious disease among the
live stock on the Coast is what coll
Germs us most on these Islands, be-
cause if once introduced here it would
do incalculable injury. 1t will be
hardly possible to keep it out of Cali
fOrnia, and as our fodder and produce
supply come from that State, the ut
most vigilance should be used in
guarding against it's introduction
here. There has been enough loss
entailed on the country in the past
through the Introduction of scabby
sheep and glandered horses.

PLANTERS LABOR AND SUPPLY CO.
WEDNESDAY, October 18th.

WEDNESDAY, October 18th.
The meeting was called to order shortly
after 10 o'clock by Mr. H. p Baldwin,
Vice President. The minutes OF Tues
days proceedings were read and adopted.
Mr. Horner thought there ought to be
more discussion on the labor question.
Mr.. Baldwin said the committee on the
ramie machine had not made any report,
and it would be impossible for it to be
ready for this meeting.
On motion of Mr. Horner the report
was ordered to he printed in the
planters Monthly" when completed.
Mr. Bailey said there were some points
in the circular recently issued by the
Board of immigration which were not
quite satisfactory to his mind. 1t did
not give satisfaction TO his neighbors,
and he heard complaints from other
islands. He thought the Trustees ought
to look into the matter and take some
action.
The Secretary, at considerable length,
explained the correspondence which had
passed between the Trustees and the
President OF the Board of Immigration
Mr.. Horner thought the intention of
the Government was good in appointing
japanese interpreters. 1t was a ques-
ton if the object aimed at was accom-
plished At Kukaiau there had been
trouble with the japanese. They might
have been arrested, but we waited until
the interpreter came, and then matters
were righted. The Commissioner, when
ne was leaving, advised cutting off the
rations if the men would not work, and
if that failed, then have them all ar
rested. They went to work directly their
food was stopped. The action of the
Commissioner was satisfactory
Mr.. Bailey said his experiences with the
Commissioner was similar to Mr. Hor-
ner's. He had received courtesy from
him, but did not recognize him. He had
not had any trouble with his japanese.
Mr.. Horner said the Commissioners
did not claim any judicial powers.
Mr. Baldwin said that Mr.. Nakayama
was a very intelligent gentleman, and
very fair The difficulty was he might
be on one island while there was trouble
among his people on another The
Deputy Inspector on Maui had made
trouble with their Japanese by misinter-
probation. He avoided the managers,
and the result is he had not helped mat
tiers at all
The Secretary stated that the Board OF
Immigration letter to the Trustees and
the circular were contradictory with re-
gard to the avoidance of litigation by the
new arrangements.
Mr.. Bailey moved that the circular be
left in the hands of the Trustees for any
action that might be necessary in the
future.
Mr. Baldwin remarked that there was
no line of action i'll such proposal, and
Mr. Bailey Withdrew his motion
The Secretary made some remarks
about the contracts
Mr. Bailey hoped his suggestion at
previous meeting, about ordering labor

Psychologists after patient and close in
quiry, have arrived at the important and
practical conclusion that the power of the
entire man, his vitality, is as much eX
pended by two hours of deep mental effort
as by whole day of bodily labor. This
fact seems 10 be founded on observed
physiological laws; hence, the man who
spends four hours in the twenty-fOur in
earnest mental labor goes to the utmost
allowable limit for days work.

of immigration hitherward; but we
must be prepared TO receive and pro-
vide the immigrants with lands and
the chance of making homes, for they
will never submit to a degrading
equality with contract labor under
any conditions or circumstances.

the interior to ascertain as quickly as
possible from the authorities of Creek,
Seminole and Cherokee Indians on what
terms they would relinquish their title to
all lands described in the treaty of 1866,
now known as oklahoma. Also, certain
other lands in Indian Territory described
in the treaty with the Cherokee Nation in
the same year. From this it will be seer
that the senate is much more considerate
