bf them was really beautiful, although she bad grown up in
the jungle, without eves • tent to protect her from the fierce
sun and from the cold dews of night. Her complexion wee
unasually fair, her black locks were wound round her head
somewhat in Grecian style; and her scanty garments—a
shift and shirt—ecusely concealed tinely-rounded and almost
faultless bathe. As she was suffering slightly from fever, I
gore her some medicine, and aloe some syrup, she directing
me to pour it into the hollow of her hand, while, by apply-
ing her mouth to her wrist. she was able to drink without
allowing any to escape. Unfortunately. wheal I wee feeling
the pulse of ibis Selene beauty, her beif-Belooch, extremely
ugly, black, and savage husband, made his sppearanoe, bear-
ing a broken-limbed goat upon his shoulders, and looking all
suspicion and wrath. Ile evidently had no faith whatever in
my moral character, and looked upon my medical business
as a mere diabolical pretence, which it woe his duty and in-
terest to expose. Intruding himself upon oar tote-d-rite, he
spoke in • rude andrtivoking way, which I could interpret
easily without catch the separate meaning of almost a
single word. Especial yhe tried, and with mimes, to excite
a laugh against me, by derisively inquiring if , ould turn
hhn, or any portion of his body. white. It is dangerous in
Beloothistan to let the laugh be turned against one by an
angry man, though it is expedient not to be hasty in
noticing good-humoured ridicule. In this case it wee tacky
that I understood his ridicule; for while the servant with
me was explaining. there was time to consider how ft
should be met. The expedient I adopted was to pall
out • knife, catch him by the arm, and teaks a slight in-
cision, intimating that there was nothing easier than to turn
him white, only, in the first place, he would have to submit
to being flayed. This rude and not very brilliant jest took
amaangly, and preserved my moral supremacy. His com-
panions seemed highly tickled and delighted at the idea of
their friend toeing hie skin. aid threw themselves on the
ground, rolling about, laughing, and repeating—. Ilakullo
went' to be made white Hakullo most e flayed :" Mar-
eyes himself seemed paralyeed at the audacity of the
proposal, and turned away growling precisely ma a
savage dog does from an untried foe which it is doubtful
abort attacking. This did not please his friends at all, and
they were so earnest on the subject, that I began to fear—
the move so se he seemed so unpopular character among
them—that they might tie him up, and insist on the opera-
tion being performed. After this he established himself be-
hind a bash cloee by, and consoled himself with examining
and handling his matchlock in a way which showed how his
thoughts were =nine ; for he aimed at me with it more
than once, when be thought I woe not observing. The cord
not being lighted, auto was no danger in this; but when he
rose. lighted a large pipe, and took it over to his lair, I
thought it expedient to speak to his affectionate friends on
the subject, whereon they mid he woe a bad man, and took
his gun away from him. There wee no great &Laos of the

it that Mikan° had a demoniac-looking mother-in-law' who
seemed quite able to protect herself and her daughter too.—
