The winter crop of tramps in Bucks
and Montgomery Counties is so abund-

driving them out have proved futile,
and the county authorities are studying
how best they may dispose of the
troublesome Migrants. On account of
the extremely mild winter the tramps

The Amazons of Dahomey.

The campaign ofthe French troops
in Dahomey is attracting much at
tention at present, and the royalist
journals of France comment scorE-
fully on the shooting down of women
warriors by crack troops with Hotch-
kiss cannon.
Dahomey is a kingdom of Africa,
on the west or Upper Guinea coast, be-
tween latitude 6 degeees and 8 degrees
north. High mountain ranges hem it
on in the north and northeast, on the
west it is bounded by Ashantee, and
on the south by the gull of Benin. It's
area varies with the success of it's
despotic sovereign in war, and it's
population is estimated at 600, 900
to 100000. The country has been
known to Europeans since the begin
ming of the seventeenth century, and
there have been French, English and
Portuguese factories on the coast at
intervals for 200 years.
The tactics ofDahomey's sovereign
have always been to begin trading
with Europeans, then to fall upon
and massacre them. 1t is the destruc-
ton of two French factories" or
trading establishments, on the Da-
honey coast, which has brought
about the present struggle. The
king, who is more ferocious and bes-
tial than any OF his predecessors, is
not at all alarmed at the French
invasion. He has trotted out his
male and female army, for he has
warriors OF both sexes, and has given
them a good fight, taking some pris
oners. Over 1000 OF his dusky
amazons, including one female gener-
al, has been slain in battle with the
French. Civilization is again writing
history in heather blood. Dahomev,
this strange African land, has long
been almost a sealed book of the bal
ance of the world.
The king of Dahomey, it appears,
compels all the manageable girls in
his kingdom to appear once a year
before him. He passes then in review,
selecting some for his harem, others
Tor his favorite ministers and serv-
ants, and the ugly and scrawny ones
he graciously allows to return to
their parents. He has about 1000
wives in good years, and in addition
to these he has in constant training
n body guard of female warriors. l.
500 or 1000 in number.
These drill in private, and when
they start OUT for practice q bell is
rung in front of them. Every man
who happens to be in their neighbor-
hood is then expected to turn his
unsanctified gaze away; if he doesn't,
and the king hears it, he cuts him in
to bits.
The composition of this feminine
army is very curions. One third of
the Amazons may have been married,
but two thirds must be maidens.
The unchaste are punished by execu-
ton.
These women are said to be strong
er and Drawer than the male soldiers :.
OF Dahomey. The reason, probably.
is that the men are kept in such a
constant state of fear and subsection
by their brutal monarch, who has
entire control over theirlives and lib |
critics, that they are good for nothing.
The women, being privileged charac-
tiers, like the archers under Louis XI.
IN France, are Drawer. They are by
no means beautiful, and in combat
are terribly cruel. They take scalps
rom their enemies, as the Indians
10, and on their return from the
battlefields they celebrate scalp
1ances.
