JAVANESE PRINCES.—AMOng.t the paefielitr
;ale
on board were two Javanese youths, which r•-,,
t
costume and numerous retinue betokened persons of ran
and whom we afterwards discovered to be princes. Mit
came to see them off, and while the crew were raising
anchor, the last farewells wore said—the ceremony, which
occupied a longer time than our good-byes, being to ace:
Min extent both novel and curious. Each one advanced:-
turn, and taking the right hand of one of the F61200011'
both his own, the two stood a short time repeatia
some words in whispers, after which they drew their 110%i°
away simultaneously and kissed them. Then shakinghauu°
in the European fashion they came closer to each other.
and once more saying a few words and kissing their hand!'
they separated, Only a few of the more distinguished viol'
tors, however, took part in the ceremony; the others, v/13(1
came within a yard of the princess, confining themselves to
a low and lengthy obeisance.—. Life in Java, by ITl•fi.
