Marriage orthe Living and Dead.


A correspondent Of the Bombay Ga
Eette writes The other day 1 wit
messed q scene of a really shocking ma
ture, the principals being allving wo-
man and Il dead man, of the Commat.
tee caste. The relation that had exis.
Ted between the living and the dead
was of o left-handed nature. They
had lived together formany long years,
ms man and wife, when, after suffering
from a febrile attack for four short
days, the man died. A~greeably to the
peculiar custom Of their caste, it was
imperative, ere the corpse could be re-
moved for interment, that the sacred
rite of matrimony should be performed.
The sad intelligence soon communica-
ted to the neighboring residents, and
the loud and vehement hamering of
tom-toms had the desired electric eff
feet Of collecting a host of friends and
acquaintance and q fu~ctuating stream
Of passers-by to the spot, A geroo, or
priest, being summoned, and the ne
cessary preparations for the celebra-
ton Of the nuptials being ~hurriedly
completed, the ceremony commenced,
The inanimate "form divine was pla-
ced against the outer wall of the We
randall Of the house in a sitting pos.
ture, attired like a bridegroom, andthe
hands and face were besmeared with
liquid tumeric. The woman also was
clothed like a bride, and adorned
with the usual tinsel ornaments over
the face, which, as we'll as the arms
and the drapery, were daubed over
with yellow. She sat opposite the
dead, now addressing it light and un-
meaning words-as is customarily
done upon such occasions-and then
chewing bits of dry ~cocoanut and
squirting it on the face. And thus the
ceremony proceeded, and continued
for three or four hours. At length, as
the sun was nearing the horizon, the
nuptial ceremony was brought to
close, and the preparation for the in
torment commenced. The dead wai
Invested of its bridal attire, then batheC
and finally laid upon a bier and cover
ed with a cloth Of silk. The face wa
next rubbed over with some red pow
der, and in the mouth was placed be
t~el-leaves. The widowed bride thel
looked her last at the surrounded form
of him whom never more she woul,
behold, when, amid agonizing shrek
and deafenng tom-toming, the bic
was lifted up and the funeral cortog
preceded in the direction of Sion; on
mana near relative of the deceased
Ipresume-preceded the corpse throw
ing at intervals a handful Of pies to tn
right and to the left, which were bC
ing eagerly picked up by a troop
little urchins.

H@. In regard to the recent interview
between the President and the negroes, the
Chicago Times says:
Another feature of this interview will be
recognized witksatisfaction. 1t is that the
President refused to assent TO the impu-
dent demand Of Fred. Douglass to argue
the question. He showed great condescen-
sion in admitting these men to an inter
siew OF o time when so pressed with the
affairs Of government. He displayed equal
eondescehtion when he took the time TO
patiently give these negroes his opinions,
and he displayed only proper dignity when
he declined Fred. Douglass proposition to
debate the matter. Mr., johnson very
properly believes that the white house is
not the proper place fora wraagle with
plantation hands. boots-blacks, and table
walters, over the policy Of the government.
There is probably no delegation of white
men in this country who would propose to
turn the presidential mansion into deba-
ting school,. The most that white people
do when they call on the President Is to
respectfully listen to him. II required the
insolence ola mob Of negroes to propose
70 the President of the United States that
be should enter with them upon an arga-
nens with feterance to questions Of State

This message of President Johnson will

There is, indeed, cause for universal solicit

beginning of new rebellion. The defeated
traitor threatens again to become the tri-
