The natural feelinsrs between husbands and wives and parents and chil dren seem to be suddenly : suspended. By night. he fancies himself .surrounded by evil spirits; . in his dreams he sees the devil trying to kill him. He tells in the village what he lias dreamed ; ; the j)ebplc fancy there' are" sorcerers amon'cr.. them " and finally suspicion falls on some indi- vmuai or maiviauais. 1 Ho doctor ' calls have seen those who could drink it with out fatal results; at other time I have seen those who drank it fall down within five minutes, the blood coming into their eyes and out of their mouths, death soon ensuing. Those whose1 drinking of the preparation isattended with such results are called sorcerers. At such times . the influence of the doctors is very great.. The drink puts them in a state of intoxi cation puts them m. a tremble, gives them a sort, of wildness; and then somei victims are sure to be found.; Gcnerally,- ,!':!; rTI aY. '.If i. iuuii uuciiuiis iuuyw ' me prejutuccs OI the multitude ; gradnallv they' point to some one as the; wizard. Alter a man has oeen acensed of being a sorcerer, ap peal : is had to this drink; and out of a hundred who drink it, 80 or 90 are sure to die. - -When a man thus dies, one or two. men are killed. ' If it be a woman or a child that dies, no one is killed beside. When I visited Goumbi, a friend of mine was very ill-; The natives would spend the night-drumming in his ear, and nrinir guns, to drive the spirit of the devil away; and eventually they fired a gun, heavily loaded as it coulb be, closcaby his very ars enough to kill a well man. If thev succeeu in unymg me aevu out, thev suppose the sick man is sure to recover. On their -solicitation, I gave him some medicine, telling- them they must not blame me if he died. , J went to bed; and the next morning, ;-"a great wail went up through the town, and I knew he was dead. In the iafternoon, the people bbgim to talk of witchcraft. They said : "This man has been bewitched; Who has killed, him ? v The doctor ; drank ,;the : prepara-' tion: ;M then, in a harsh voice, he described a young woman who, -he said, had be witched the victim. She was a .niece of the King a princess; ' On being suin mpned, she said ,V I will drink ; but if I do .not die, beware !" t The doctor men tioned another ? name, that of an , elderly woman.' They were taken to the river,f placedina 'ajiqe, and made. to drinks On that occasion there were three vic tims, h Sometimes whole clans are thus sacrificed. In, that country the seventh day after a man dies there is. a little re joicing; they call it by the Avord mean ing feast ; and a feast there means to get drunkT After the feast is over, the whole clan goes into mourning, which lasts for a year or two. . . During that time the vil lagers wear no , kind of 'ornaments what-, eyer. f They wear as few clothes as they caii, ; r The widows shave their heads and oover themselves with ashes.' -After the mourning comes the. celebration at the close of the mourning time. ; I saw such a celebration at a little place of mine on 0n' the- bank of the - Fernand ; Vaz River, which I Had named, Washington. Upon the son who inherits the property devolves the duty of this feast. . At fhfs time the women are released from. their widowhood. .For 24 hours the company do nothing but drink and dance ; they drink a kmd oi palm wine called m i moo. The noise was so great I could not sleep. Toward 4 o'clock in the morning tho peo ple became a little silent were too drunk, in reality,' to '": make more : noise. ; , ' At 6 o clock -vas . the concluding ceremony, with dancing and tam-tams aroUnd the house of Iho dead man. At the end, the widows belonged .. to tlifterent men. In this case the. heir had been very generous ; he had "given two of the seven widows to his younger; brother, and one to nis nrsi cousm. He was in that country consid ered a very large-minded man. Laugh- ter.j ; X visiiea more man wiiriv vfiuvrs iu that ' country.- I ' was sufpriseil at the number of dialects and lan images they spoke. The country was very thickly in habited : sometimes one could travel lor days in the jungle without coming to a village.! found, during this last journey, dwarfs called Obomro: 1 ' In mv former iourney I found a race of cannibals-r-the strongest race I met in iUnca. iney .nnmiul nlcn r tVta mnst intill i rrAnt. for they worked iron most beautifully, and they were very warlike. -. i ne moss ex tensive - tribe I found were the Bakalais. I traveled much among them. They ex tend north of the ' equator, aiid from the sea shore to as' far as' the Nshimba and Mpovi country.' One trait of the Bakalais is their roving character ; they never re main long in one place A, village is Rfnwplv builtbefore thev remove, which is the more remarkable as the making of a tillage ot the clearing of a plantation in tfie jungle involves somuch labor, Their very- great fear of death probably contri butes in the greatest degree to cultivate, that roving tendency. : It seema' as if they continually; fletl from the.' face of death. When a man is very ill , they drive him away from tlieir town,:and "miles he has trmTiv relatives ' and strong friends he is sure to die helpless in the forest The women then are, kinder hearted than the men .and sometimes give these helpless, unfortunate persons food ; they did in ono case that came tinder my ' bbseryatiqu ; but tho men, wnen .uicy ba me. iuan, iu whoc eve the film of death already gatli - ; 'x--i: v.v. - w i"''- : injsiuon one ,nu?ni, mignc come-at tion of strychnine, vhich; the doctors anbther time and kill them, knowingjust themselves have great capacity to drink where thev were .

It is astonishing to sec with what facility these women cry- Like ladies here they seem' to have, a perpetual, fountain of tears,; ready to be shed at a moment's bidding.! Laughter. I want to speak a little of the natural history of this country. Here the ? manlike apes are found. There are four species of chimpanzees. I have dis covered one a bald-headed chimpanzee, the wisest of them alL He builds a shel ter: for himself. I don't know, that his baldness is a sign of his wisdom ; I sup pose it' is ; though I don't come to that conclusion because I am that way inclin ed myselLr Laughter.J The natives of that country are very ingenious in con triving traps to catch : nearly all the ani mals of the forest; but I have never known an instance of their entrapping , a gorilla or a cliimpanzee. Tho common chimpan zee is known for Ids-unusual geographical : tt. t j o"- 1 . rauge ne is louna irom cenegamoia to St. Phillipe, Benguelow, which range is almost the extent of .the tropics.. lie is found where there are forests, for all those apes require largo wooded tracks; they feed upon the berries1 and nuts of thej forest. .The chimpanzees or, gorillas are not found on the East Coast, which would indicate that the large forests of inter tropical Africa do not reach the East Coast; that there is an intervening gap of barren or prairie, land, where they cannot live. I remember the first time I ever saw the chimpanzee ; it was in tho Cape Lopez'cohntry. I was hungry, fancied I would like buffalotsteak, . and : my men were out in the woods trying to bring the buffalo toward me. I stood in the woods, when, alTat once, I saw a blackface com ing toward me.. Thinking it -was ono 'of my men, I did not fire, when, suddenly, the beast saw me, uttered a en-, and dis appeared.' But the most curious of the chimpanzee, certainly, arc the bald-headed. They have, in fact, "no hair on tho top of the head, m the place where- the- wool ought to grow, as the song has it Laughter. x ; They have a much nar- rower range than the other species 01 chimpanzec.or the gorilla; they are much smaller than the others. I never found this kind of chimpanzee higher, than four feet and three or four inches, i They are less powerful than the other chimpanzees ana tne gonna rare even less powcnui in proportion than ; their diminiied ' size. Would indicate. They are covered with jet black hair, which is longer on the arm and face ; have whiskers coming from be low the cars, and of course their face 'is intensely black. I; was orice hunting the forest. hV the Bakalai country and the Mpongwe, when suddenly I saw a female chimpanzee with a young one clinging to her. The mother was , eating berries, oc casionally -looking JtondlyVat her baby, very much as a human mother would at hers. Extraordinary as it may seem, and much toniyjown surprise, the skin of the young chimpanzee was white, whiter than niihe, but very pale, just like the skin of a dead person. We fired at and killed the mother and, of course, captured the baby. "I immediately ordered a retreat to the camp. The little chimpanzee ran to ward its mother, touched her face, and seemed to mourn. He saw at bhec that some great change had taken place. In three days that little chimpanzee was per fectly tame. ; 1 kept him live months, and as Tie became civilized, he became a great thief, laughter; that. was the first step in ' civilization he made, and: though 1 don't say the negroes would steal quite as much, I tell yon frankly that. I found the primitive, unsophisticated man a great scamp tooj laughter. . - . ; . iThis little fellow followed ftoin the forest and became very gcntlo as well as very cun ning. ; He would watch the nati vea, and, as soon as they went away .from their. huts, he would invade their huts and steal their plan tains, &c. When I caught him stealing from me-lie would run away w ith the greatest con- Wlinn T tff Vi f r-fiTllfl rnrttint ft tree to take a view of -what was on my Uhie, 1 and then. come, and indicate that he .wanted X 1 Prico 5 Cents. something. If anything beside -what be had made np his mind to have vtjvs ofTcml him, he fastidiously rejected it; and continued to do so, till he got what he desired. 1IU last cx- Eloit was stealing a bottle of brandy. I had ecn absent; when I returned I smelled a stmn smell of brandy; found the bottlcl ufUKi-u. iuiu joung- emmpanzee aeaa drunk beside it. ILanghtcr. If you Iiad n him you could have comprehended how much like beastawe are when in that condition. Ap plause. Finally, one day he refused his food and died. I stuffed the specimen, which I liad with me when I had my collection hereon my former visit to this country. I found the crumll capacity ot this class of clrimpanxco to be about to 2G cubic Inches. The skull of this bald-headed ape docs not fo ncarlr rest-ruble the skull of a man as does that of the go rilla. It seems to be a caricature of roan. The entire bony frame of the gorilla also bears a closer resemblance to that of a man than docs that of the bald-headed chimpanzee. You cannot claim a single bone more than the gorilla. The gorilla has 13 pairs of ribs, and the man liaa 12, and you must remember that manJ a lonrr time aro. lost one Dair of .ribs. 'which, women ought to know something about. lijtiugjui.r.x i txijaiTs uacnt )ors Mill re: am the thlrtoeuth jviir. . lltcneTTcd laughtcr.l The great power of the gorilla, compared with man's, is well shown and accounted for in this immense ridge ' (referring to a painting of a gorilla, to a ridge of bone represented on it, running from the check to the parietal bones), to Which powerful muscles are attached. He is very much like man in hteht I have had in my collection Fpecimens lire feet 10 inches ia length,' iThe gorilla roams in the forest and feeds on berries, never remaining two days in the same place With his enormous canines, I doubted his being exclusively a vegetarian, and examined the tomaclis of nil fhoc that I killed, to see If there were traces of animal food, but in examining some 40 specimens in tli.lt ivnr I nvrrfminil nnr tmtt t f ( f nn,1 T think wc must therefore conclude that he is a vegetarian. Some gorillas measure fire feet 10 inches round the chest, while the middle finger of the hand on some of theni, measures six to sis and a half inches in circumference He lias the Mime number of teeth as a man the milk teeth at first 23 teeth, and four ad ditional as he grows older, mnkinsr 32L Ills strength is enormous; he pairs with his mate, and they go together. I remember the first time I saw the male gorilla, We were going to the forest, when suddenly I heard a. crop ping of branches ahead of me, Wc approach ed nearer and soon heard a terrific barking roar, and saw the enormous beast looking us straight in the face. Then he beat his breast with Ids enormous hands, and it resounded like the beating of a large drum. Then he gave vent to roar after roar. It was like an apparition of the devil before me. Wc fired at and killed him. I am very happy to-say that gorillas1 die very easily, and if any one has practised coolness he can be very sure of kill ing him, for he is so large that you do not re quire much skill to hit htm. I have killed hy enas, and leopards, and hippopotami, and came gradually to tho pitch where I could face a gorilla, t- When we were in the Bakalai forest on ono occasion, ono of my men had become separated from the party and I heard a gmmf and the tremendous roar of the gorilla. We hurried in the direction whence the noise came, and found the man lying in a pool of blood. The gorilla had struck him with his hand, as a lion would with- bis pa vr nrnl lltmt!tv!a!d him open. Not being carmverous, ho had ' net troubled him further. The female seems to be very kind to her young. . I hare had several specimens of the. young gorilla. I shipped one, and in order not to be troubled, I got a bill of lading, and sent him to 3Icssrs. Baring & Brothers, London; and it was on the bill that I was to pay S200 on receipt of tho live j gorilla. He died four weeks after he was put onboard. I had succeeded in takinir thrr nhotoirranus of the live rorilla. Tliis little fellow was instantlvnut ina-e br the ,ifht of the camera. The gorilla never gets tame ; 1 is uiuerent m that respect lrom the chimpan zee. It may some dayc possible to have a tame one, but Uicorwmtloiroitaming him will be aa exceedingly difilcult occT As to cantur- ing a full-grown gorilla It Is entirely our of. question. With jaws so strong that he leaves great dents in iron if he bites it. he could not be secured even if entrapped. The huge ridge of bone before referred to, w ith the attaching muscles connecting with the lower jaw. how that hq has nearly as much strcntrth in the iaw as a lion'lia. But I think wc have not quite found out all The habits of the gorilla yet. I have done tho best I could; but, like other men, liave doubtless made many mistakes.
