 wore sandals and sort of Grecian cap on his head, and six Amazons danced
 with him.
 The Amazors Dr. BayOl describes as
 very fends. One d::y the doctor vii messed spectacle which he will never forget. At a sign from the king 800
 Amazons rushed upon a living OK and
 tore it into pieces i'll few seconds; then each, with a piece of raw flesh in her mouth, marched off singing, while five
 of their number held the skin and head of their victim aloft in triumph. In festal garments they witnessed from
 the roofs of the neighboring huts the human sacrifices of the rext day and laughed heartily. They always appear perfectly resigned and go quietly to death when their turn comes. The king is very suspicious, and would not sign the letter written to the president of the French republic. Dr. Bayol's return to the coast was extremely dangerous, for he had no passport and was therefore obliged. in spite of illness, to march more than fifty miles in one day through country with which he was quite unac- quainted. On arriving at notonou he heard of the death of the king. whom, had he been still at Dahomey, he would have probably been accused of poison ing.
 Wicked Trick on a Trout Fisher. J. Fl. Blethen and Alfred Stetson, of Linneus, went on 8 trOuting expedition and captured eleven fish. They placed them in their wagon and then went of to look after some bear traps. While they were gone Dr. Boyd happened along, and recognizing the team proceeded to purloin the trout. He took them to MT. Blethen's house, told Mrs. Blethen how he came by them, and requested her to say nothing. but to cook them the next day and surprise her husband; mean. time she would probably hear a pretty good fish story, he predicted. When MT. Blethen arrived home his story, in reply to his wife's inquiries as to his luck. was fully up to the expectation of the plotters. He said they had caught for ty-eight trout, and most of them were of moAstrous size, in fact the finest string he ever saw, but some evil minded person had stolen them from the team while they were absent, and so on. When his wife produced eleven fried little fishes for dinner the next day and told him that there were his forty-eight monsters the fisherman wilted like a morning glory in anoonday sun.-Houl- ton (Me.)
