THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL IA, 1851.
The independent press. (Abbeville C.H., S.C.) 1853-1860, 1857-04-17
The Jewish Passover.

This solem feast, in commemoration of
the passing over of the first-born of the Is
raeltes, when the first borniof their Egyp-
tian masters perished, will begin on Thurs
day, the 9th Of this month, Gt being the
18th day ofthe Jewish month, Nisan. in
their year 56l7, and last for. seven days.
During this time, all Jews who adhere to
the faith Of their fathers, eat, "mazot" or
unIeavcned bread. The Pennsyluanian,
Of Philadelphia, says: "Thc mazot" is
manufactured in this city, Baltimore and
New York, and sent to all other parts Of
the country where it is needed. It is made
of the finest wheat flour and .purest water,
kncaded by wooden eavcr, and afterwards
9rolIed out between wooden rollers, and then
cat by machinery, without being touched
by human hand. 1t looks and tastes like
some kinds Of water crackers, and is rather
mcagre food for an entire week."

Give it to him again !"

1he bcchuanas, who arc generally Eru
gal and industrious. do not treat their wives
so well. The women, however, are com.
plete mistresscs of the house and the pro
duce OF the garden. A man dares not en-.
Ter his wiie's hut in her absence
Many of the tribes DIR. Livingston visit
ed, had never before seen white man
They all had Il religion, believed in an ex-
lstcnce after death, worshped idols, and per-
formed religious ceremonies III groves and
woods. They consider themselves superior
TO white men who cannot speak their Ian
guage.
Lions arc numerous and destructive, be-
cause many Of the tribes believe that the
soul oftllcir chiefs migrate into the bodies
of those animals. Therefore when the ma
tivcs see lion they clasp their hands to
cheer and honor him.
There is quite a scarcity of diseases a.
mong thcm-no consumption, scrofula, hy-
drophoba, cancer, cholera, small pox or
measles. These, we are left to conclude,
are civilized distcmpers. Physicians are
not in demand, yet they have rain-doctors,
who resort to all sorts Of quaclsery to make
the people believe they have power to COM
pei the clouds.
Immediately beyond the Bushmcn there
is Il curious people called Bakoba, who arc
the Qu;.kcrS ol the body polite in Africa
They never ght but submit, quietly 10 every
tribe which conIucrs the country adjacent
to- the river on which they always reside.
They say they never fight, because their
torcfathcrs trie5to do SO once with bows of
palma christi, and rs they broke, they gave
up the practice entirely.
The spirit Of trade is strong in the Afri-
can. and many articles of commerce are n.
bundant, as sarsaparilla. indigo, bccswax,
coal. iron and gold. 1t is most important
to observe that the further DIR. Livingston
travelled into tho interior of Africa, the
more civilized and numerous he found the
inhahitants. They were less terocious and
suspicious. had better and more settled
forms of government. and more wants than
the tribes which lived near the sea coasts.
He met with tribes in the interior who prac-
ticcd inoculalon, anl knew the medicinal
virtues of Iuininc, although they did not
administer it in the concentrate, form, us
prepared i'll Europe: and moreover, they
had Il tradition OF Npah,e driuge. They
traded III IVORY and gold, which were sold

Not Honest, But Frank.

An Eastern traveller gives the following
account Of a brief, pointed, and, we think,
rather unsatisfactory interview with an Arab
of Jebel 1Iauran
"What brought YOU to the spring when
you saw us there ?" l asked him.
"ro strip you,'' he coolly replied.
"And why did you not do it,"
"Because Mahmud was with you"
"But why would you plumber US We
are strangers and not enemies"
at is our CUSTOM"
"And do you strip all strangers
ayes, all we can get hold Of"
"And if they resist, or are too strong for
you?"
"In the former case we shoot them from
behind trees =; in the latter, we run"
allow do the people Of your tribe live
Do they SOW or plant?"
"No, we are not slaves !" said he, with
much disdain.
"What do YOU do for living
ave keep goats, hunt partridges, and
stcal.'
"Are you all thieves ?"
"les, all"
