Tlie Sherbo cannibals waylaid anil killed their vic tims and afterward feasted on their flesh. The cannibalism of tbe east coast is of a very different kind. The flesh of the old people—the grandfather and grandmother of a family—is dried uud mixed with condiments, uud a portion of this is offered, with a dim sort of sacramental meaning, to travelers who become guests of the fumily. To refuse it would bo a deadly insult. To accept it is a passport to the privileged position of a friend of the house. Many of our travelers in east Africa have eaten thus sacramentally of tlie ancestors of some dark skinned potentate. The cannibalism of tlie west coast is of a more horrible kind, connected with fetichism, the worst developments of which are peculiar to that country. Bnt there is a hideously genuine appet ite for fresh human flesh still existing among the negroes of west Africa. This canni balism manifests itself in a refinement of gluttony which lias its mild analogy in the tastes of Europeans. Young boys are bought from the dark interior, kept in pens, fattened upon bananas and fili ally killed anil baked. To these Thyes- teau feasts come not only the savage chiefs of the interior, but also, it is whispered, black merchants from tho coast. Men who appear at their places of business in English territory in broud- cloth and tall huts, who ape the man ners of tlieir white masters, are said to disappear annually into the iuterior, where, wo are told, they blight be seen in naked savagery taking part in tbe banquets on plump boys, in which they delight. Be this as it may, somehow the native of the west coast and its Hinterland is unlike tho East or South African native in the deep lying savagery and the ex traordinary facility for returning to it which are his leading and very unpleas ant characteristics. The subject claims the attention of tho anthropologist, and certainly suggests a curious reason for questioning the relationship of the black man and the apo cr the gorilla, seeing that the race of monkeys seems to be singularly free from anything like can nibalism.—Loudon Saturday Review. .
