OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

When young warrior falls in love, he goes
first to the oldest brother. or if there be no none
to the maternal uncle They agree on the price
and appoint time for the wedding. Neither
the maid, the father or mother consulted. II
is no unusual thing for woman to marry her pa
terna uncle, the father himself being scarcely
counted any kin. Relationship is only counted
in the maternal line.
MARRIAGE.-On the day appointed, the groom
and his friends appear at place in the vicinity
of the residence OF the BRIDE He is dressed very
gaily, with small looking glass around his neck, ,
worn ornament. They lounge about until
midday. The bride then leaves the house of her
father, attended by her female relatives, and
moves towards the groom. An old man precedes
her. with basket of bread on his shoulders
When he reaches the group. the female relatives
rush on him, and scatter the contents of the bas-
ket In every direction. He flies and they after
him. At that moment, taking advantage of the
confusion, the destined bride flies towards the
woods, her attendants lowering around, and COW
ering her retreat. The female friends of the To-
yer pursue her, Ii she be anxious for the match
IL is not difficult to overtake her. If on the con-
trary, she has been sold by her uncle without re-
ference to her incnations, she continues her flight
until she ias exhausted, and sometimes, indeed
makes her escape, and wanders off to a distant
village, where she is adopted. In ancient times
marriage was regular matter of barter. The
price was never paid to the bride OF her parents,
but to her older brother or maternal uncle When
the bride is caught, she is brought up to the spot
from whence she started. But by this time the
groom has disappeared, and is no more seen. She
sits down on sort ofcushion land the friends COM
mence throwing their little presents in her lap.
Each female relative ties ribband in her hair,
or string of beads around her neck and the pro-
visions, which each guest brings, are distributed
among the company. This completes the cere-
mony. The bride, thus decorated, is led back to
her little lodge adjoining that of her parents. At
night, when the family are asleep her dusly low
er silently finds his way to her arms, and in the
morning they have disappeared If you would af
forwards see the fawn of the woods, you must
seek her in the lodge of her husband near the
banks of some ripping stream. 1t is very rare that
he remains in the domicil of her father.
