MOttcntot wives. Sons mnd Mothers

The Hottentot females are at once the LATEST
and mos, Ill used of women. The priest when
he marres them. blesses them, saying-"May
you live happy, and year-by year bear son.
who may live to be good hunter and great
warrior 1t is needless to say that this wish
is not always gra,ifed. So long as her hus
band exists, the Hottentot woman is the sav.
and the drudge of the hut, and on her 6evolves
the task Of providing for the substance OF the
family, while the husband eats, drinks. smokes
and sleeps. When the Ho,tcntot wife becomes
widow, she must continue SO for liie, unless
she chooses to purchase husband at price
which, according to our notions, is sometimes
more than the delights ofa wife in Hottentot
matrimony would warrant. She must consent
to lose Joint of one of her fingers and this
process to be repeated as often as being lett a
widow. she wishes again to contract mat
rmony. Tho Hottentot son, on coming OF
age, is pres ened with cudgel, with which
he is commanded To beat his mother !;
and this request is very dulifully complied with
by the sou, in order 10 manifest his strength
and ability, "jnst as some youths at home
evince their ma nhood by smoking cigars and
swearing proanely." II is strange that the
mother though of'en fainting under the cruel
beatings ofthe son whom she has nursed at her
bosom, does not reproach him; but she ad
mires his manliness and dexterity in propotlon
TO the chsstisment.

LITERARY AND DRAMATIC ITEMs.-One of
those events which occur at intervals, to
teach US how much in death we are in life, took
place with singular impressiveness few
weeks since at Paris. A new piece, called
the Decameron, was produced at Vaudeville
Theutre. When the curtain fell, the author
was demanded. An actor stepped forward
and said Gentlemen, the piece we have just
had the honor to perform is by-Monsieur Ba
yard p The announcement fell like thun
derbolt on the audience, for only three days
before, NJ. Bayard had been stricken dead IN
ball room and on the day of the performance
he was buried A ball-a death tomb-a
new play--all crowded within the narrow
space Of few hours tears followed close on
joy, and loud laughter succeeded TO tears; in
the morn the solemn chaunis and prayers OF
priests and at eve the grimacing OF commedi
ans-tbe funeral knell blended with the shak-
ing Of folly's bells-and ali this in connection
with one and the same person.
