of Leuis Napeleon, and n famous dra

At the clese et the civil war the best

by the "Catholle Soclety for the Instruc

J Happier (ban seme ether races of men,
nene of these West African tribes prao prae prao
tlce infanticide. On the contrary, it is
considered a misfertune net te liave
children, nnd thb desire Is the Bource of
tsome very curious habits nnd customs.
Among the Decsas, n trlbe further te the
north, n banana trce Is planted en the
day of marriage, and If en the day of
its first producing fruit n child should
net liave been born the contract Is con
sidered void nnd the parties marry
again.
I With (he ICablna the bride and groom
immediately nfter lnnrrioge are locked
in n hut which must never have been
occupied befere, and are thcre kept clese
prisoners for three mentlis, except that
nt every midnight the old men of the
town take the groom nnd the old women
tlie brlde nnd escort them te the "fetich
man," Ie whom theynppcnl for children.
During this time, however, they nre well
supplied with Iwth feed nnd drink. At
the end of the three inentlia n great feast
is held, when the prisoners nre released
nnd the hut where they have been con
fined b burned, and thus their honey
moon is brought te an end.
HOW A WIFE 13 aOT.
Tlie ceremony of marrbge among
tlvcse peeple b conducted by the different
tribes in n manner that b common te
tliem nil.
i When n natlve wants a wife, if thcre Is
nene in ids own town te suit him, he
bench) te Gome neighboring clilcf asking
if there is n girl in hb town of tlie age
dwlrcd. If the nnswer b in the affirma
tive, he then presents his case te the old
men of lib town, nnd nfter a "palaver,"
or talk, nt which thcre b the drinking of
much rum, they ngrce that lie may bring
home as a wife a woman from another
town.
I After Dccurlng this permission he, with
prcsente in hb hands for the propitiation
of the spirit powers, visits the head
"fetich man," nnd nfter listening te lib
many prayers receives n charm. He b
then ready te beck bis bride.
In tlie meantlme the women of lib
town maids, wives nnd widows having
been advised of lib intention and being
incensed by lib slighting them hi select
ing n stranger, nre prepared, ns they nre
allowed by (heir laws te de, te prevent
his leaving until their charms hnve been
admitted nnd their indignation allayed by
many presents. This custom, dcsplte
every precaution of the man, often enda
in disputes which nre settled only by an
nppenl te the "fetich man" and "siissl "siissl "siissl
woed." "
i However, having ovcrcemo the diffi
culties of lib departure, he arrives nt and
is received in hb prospective bride'a
town by the old men of the place and by
them conducted te the "palaver house,"
where there Is mero talk and mero rum,
The presents he has brought having been
found ncccptable, he is then allowed te
knew the parents of the girl hob seek
ing, nnd from them learns the sum In
Ixxida, rum, cloth, etc., he'has te pay be be bo
fero he can eecure her. This usually
representn in valite nbeut $10. Tills mat
ter hnving liepn satisfactorily settled, he
returns te hb town nnd forwards the
goods ns agreed upon.
At the betting of the sun en the day
nppolnted for the closing of the contract
the bride, naked except for lieing painted
with different colored chalks, accom
panied by her parents nnd friends, ar
i Ives nt the home of the groom. There
they nre received with much rejoicing,
gun firing, drum beating, dancbig nnd
feasting. This is continued until Ixith
man mid woman nre exhausted by their
orgies, when they nre bundled into the
hut te remain for the customary time.
The customs surrounding the bringing
up of these girls and their conduct nfter
having bccoine wives nre f.trange and
interesting. All women, unless they are
blaves, until they nw married or reach n
certain nge nre under the care of the old
women, und nre cnlled "cutta de em em
guage," or grlgery bush glrb. Theycnn
be easily recognized, for, no matter what
may be their age, they nre always en
tirely naked, with only n small horn
hanging from n btrlng fastened nreund
the neck. They nlse plaster thickly their
bhaven heads with clay nt frequent
intervnls. This it is "fetich" te rcmove
or touch wilh water, nnd must be taken
off only by their husbands.
, T1IU SEDUCE!! THF.ltl! aCTS HIS DUE.
Fer ene of these glrb te be forgetful
of her irtue is n crime, but for which
ulie b net cnlled upon te pay the penalty,
The nattire of the punishment is dentil,
but hew inflicted it has been impessible
for me te learn, it lieing "fetich" for nny
malote interfere in these matters. Tlie
old women have bole jurisdiction mid
me6t jealously guard the secrets of their
calling; but, Iw it ns it may, the man,
nfter having been nccused, b never froe
from esplonage until seme day he is
missed, when after :i time he b found in
n mutilated condition dead in his hut.
Contrary te what might lw expected, be
btrict ure these ioeplo in the ebservance
of this custom that no sum of money
will purchase immunity, und even being
n white man is no protection from their
revenge.
( After a woman becomes n wife differ
ent laws affect her. If convicted of mi
faithfulness she is punished nccerding te
her hubband'a pleasure. This, ns a rule,
finds expression by his belling her into
blavery. A lieculiar belief is their find
ing ivaseu ler the failure of nny en
deavor or undertaking they may liave in
hand in their wives' fergctfulncss of
their duties.
A natlve chief, when about te start en
a journey, or go en n hunting or trading
expedition, or te war, en the day befere
his departure, calls together his many
Wives nnd advises them of his intention.
He then remind;) them that the bucccsa
or failure of his effort de-ienda upon
them, und nsks if (hey have been guilty
of any fault of whieii thev bheuld be
purged befere btaitiug en lib journey.
Tlds, of course, b answered in tne nega
tive. Salbfled with their denial, he
then instructs them na te their conduct
during Ids absence, and then leaves te
proceed en his way. Cor. New Yerk
