every state Of society, from the savage to
the civilized, certain ceremonies have been
obse rived at marriage bot the ceremonies
practised in The isle Of Borneo, as described
by late traveller, Or. Leyden) are among
the most brutal customs. Nobody in Bor-
neo can be permitted to marry till he can
present human head Of some other tribe
70 his proposed bride, in which case she is
not permitted 10 refuse him tits not nee
essary, however, that this should Is obtain
ed entirely BY his own persona prowess
When person is determined 10 10 head
hunting, as it is very often very danger
Gus service, he consuts with his friends, and
acquaintance, who frequently accompany
him The hrad-hun'er then proceeds with
his party IN the most cautious manner 10
the vicinity OF the villages Of another tribe,
lies in ambush ill they surprise some heed
less, unsuspecIing wretch, who IS Instantly
decapuated. Sometimes, too they surprise
a solitary fisherman in river, or or the
shore, who undergoes The same fate. " hen
The hunter returns, the whole village is fl
led with Joy, and old and young, men and
women, hurry out 70 meet him, and con-
duct him with the sound OF brazen cymbals
dancing in long lines, 70 the house Of The
female he admires, whose family likewise
come out to greet him with dances, and
provide him seat. and give him meat and
drink. He still holds the bloody head in
his hand, and puts part OF the food into lis
mouth, after which the females Of the fam
lily receive the head from him, which they
aang up to the ceiling, over The door.
IF mans wife die, he Is not permitted
10 make proposals Of marriage 10 another,
TIL he has provided another head Of a differ
ent tribe as Tito revenge the death of his
deceased wife The head procured in this
manner, they preserve with grea care, and
sometimes consult IN diyinalions. he re-
ligious opinions connected with this prac-
tica, are by no means correctly understood
some assert, that every person whom a !
man kills in this world bsCom-s his slave
IN the next. The Idsan, it's said, think
that The entrance into Paradise il over a |

which, il is impossible TO pass without the |
assistance OF slave slain in this world.
The practice of stealing heads causes
frequent wars among the different tribes of
the Idaan. Many persons can never obtain |
a head, in which case they ore generally |
despised by The warriors and the women |
10 such height ii is carried, however, |
that a person who had obtained eleven |
heads has been seen by Dr.. Leyden, and he |
