LIBERALITY In RELIGION,

seuator Blnir's idea of the objectionable
Sin and the Result.
Frank G. Carpenters Washington Correspon-
deuce.l
chatted last night with Senator Blair of
New Hampshire. about the. revision of the
Presbyterian Church creed, by which the
more advanced thinkers take the worst ele-
ments of hell out of their religion, and
Blair told me the story of his wonderful
fight with birthstone damnation. He is the
offspring of Puritan parents and his boy
hood was passed in an old farmhouse in
New Hampshire, in the garret of which
there was a library of theological works
advocating foreordained hell for the nom
elect. This light reading formed Senator
Blair's first intellectual pabulum. Said he:
81 read at those books be ore that open
fire, and remember that when 1 was about
years old I got it into my head that
had committed the objectionable sin. This
objectionable sin was, you know. then one
of the cardinal points Of the old theology.
The books did not state what this sin was
and the preachers did not seem to know, but
it was as certain as death that he who COM
mitted it could have no forgiveness and that
he was foreordained to the hottest fires of
the lower regions for an eternity of ages.
"Well. I thought had committed it. I
thought was bound TO be damned, and for
weeks 1 lost sleep at night and worried and
fretted all the day over my condition. I
think I should have gone crazy if I had not
gotten relief, and my relief came from an
old volume on the objectionable sin. Theis
consisted of sermons by learned divine,
and in them it was stated that the fact that
person thought ne had committed the un-
pardonable sin was an evidence that he had
not committed it, for if he had committed it,
being damned already, the fires of repent
ance could not touch his heart and he would
60 on blindly to his destruction.
"This relieved me greatly, and after a
time my dread OF the sin passed away and I
regained my usual health. 1 shall never
forget the terror. though. that felt, and 1 am
glad to say that religion grows more liberal
as the world grows older"

A GROUP OF NATIVES.

wives than any of his subjects or his respect
ability will suffer. 1 was told by the Amer
lean Consular agent at Elmina. that the
present King actually has the 1888 wives,
and that ne has 600 children.
CHOOSING THE KINGS WIVES.
All the King has to do to get wife is to
choose any female be pleases, no matter how
young she may be. Girls are often CHOSEN
when less than 10 wears old, and in such
cases they are left with their mothers until
of mature age, at which time they are taken
to join the rest of the 3,SG3. No man is ever
allowed to see any of the Kings wives. and
should he even accidentally see one his pun
ishment is death. These wives, during the
working season, attend to the Kings planta-
tions, but the rest of the time they live at
Coomasie, the Ashantee Capital. where they
occupy two long streets. When they go out
for 4 walk in body, as is often the case,
they are preceded by number of eunuchs,
who herald their coming that all men may
disappear and avoid looking upon them,
When this is impossible they must fall on
their faces to the ground. If white man
happens to be there and understands not the
law, the eunuchs turn his face away from
the advancing women.
/ have written at some length about the
Ashantees, but have not told half that aid

Pensacola anchored in the bay on which is
situated the city of
ST. PAUL DE LoANDA,
the capital of Angola Portuguese
province on the west coast OF Africa,
bounded BY the Congo river on the north
and the sixteenth degree of south latitude
on the south. The latitude of the city is
about 900 south and its longitude 13o east.
The greater part of Loanda can be seen a
distance of many miles from tine sea. This
is the Cidade Alta, or high city, built upon
high ground and containing most of the
Government buildings. To the front is the
Cidade Raixa, or low city, built on the sandy
shore OF the bay, which is formed by long
and very narrow island of sand several
miles out In the sea, as is shown in Fig. 1.
The population of Loanda is fully 1900,
of which about :, 600 are whites. These live
for the most part in the high town, in houses
that are large, made of stone, ano rooted
with a peculiar red tile. ALI Portuguese
houses that saw in Angola, not only at
Loands, but also In the interior, sre Of this

pride in their dress and will wear clean and
gay cloth from the waist to the knees.


The women dress in a variety of ways.
The ordinary costume consists of a dark
cotton cloth, folded around the body to the
arm-pits. The better class wear colored
cloth folded in the same manner, and
another piece for the shoulders. Bright
colored beads are often worn in the hair, on
the neck and wrists. Often times these
women dress in colors that become their
skin, and really look very neat.
We found that the Portuguese officials had
made arrangements for the arrival of the
expedition and were ready to do all within
their power to assist us in our work. As
stated in one of my previous letters it had
been the intention OF the astronomers from
the first to go to Muxima up the
Quanza river to observe the eclipse.
Governor Capello kindly and with great
forethought had had the old fort al
Muxima thoroughly cleaned, repaired and
furnished for the use of the expedition, but
before reaching Loanda for various reasons
the place of observation was changed to
Cape Ledo, 20 miles south OF Loanda. The
naturalist, physicist and anthropologist
with their respective assistants, left the
party at Loanda, while the astronomers
went on to the cape.
CLOUDS oBSCURED THE ECLIPSE.
Ihe afternoon OF the day OF the eclipse,
December %, was cloudy at Cape Ledo, SC
no observations could be made of the
tota1ity there. AT Dondo, 200 mile ,lland,
where I was, it was also cloudy. Al
Muxima, however, and points for several
miles west, was told by resident, nc
clouds interiered with a perfect observa-
ton.
In my next letter I expect to tell of my
trip to the interior, something of the places
visited, but more of the different tribes
seen. CLAIRE A. ORR.

are sent to Loanda for life or term of years.
A man who has been convicted OF murder or
of anv crime in Portugal is furnished free
transportation for himself and family to
Loanda. Here he is registered on the list
of convicts at the fort and is then really
free man, for all that is required of him Is
that he shall report at the fort every night.
He can engage in any business and lie and
cheat to his own content. Many convict
is reported to have become rich and in
fuential citizen of Loanda. 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell convict from one who is not so
you are liable to be purchasing goods from
murderer and not be aware of the fact. The
convict gentlemen" usually behave well
and cause little or no trouble. Ii one should
murder native, probably he would meet
with no punishment. But if his victim is
white man he will be sent to Mozambique
and there enlisted as a soldier.
WHITE LADIES SCARCE.
There is very little society here because OF
the scarcity OF white ladies. The police
force of Loanda numbers $50 men,
over halt OF whom are blacks. Dur
ing the day they wear linen uni
iorm, not always clean, and carry
a whistle and belt bearing sword. AT
