Strange CusfnnIa.

The following is curious account Of the habits and
customs of some of the tribes il the interior of Africa
as we find it in the volume of travels by David
and Charles Livingstone, just issued in London.
Speaking of the in Morambala, the nara
tive says:
These damses looked with considerable disgust
on the men IN bags, as the trowsered whites were
called. Even the less fastidious matrons quieted
their children by threatening to fetch the white
to bite them In their eyes, DR.. Livingstone, busy
with the wet and dry bulb Thermometers, was an OBJ
JeGt OF pity, playing with toys like little boy but

annoint their heads and bodies.
be called Is the pelee upperp ring of the women
Inc middle OF the upper lip for the ring is pierced
close to the septum OF the nose, and small pin in
serted to prevent the puncture closing up After it
mas healed the pin is taken out and larger one is
pressed INTO Its place, and so or successfully for
weeks, and months, and years. The process of in
ereasinS the size of the lip goes till its capacity
becomes so great that ring of two inches in diane
ter can be introduced with ease.
All the highland women wear the pelele and it is
common on the upper and lower shire. The poorer
classes make them of hollow or of solid bamboo but
the weather. OF ivory or TIN. The tin pelee is often
made IN the form of a small dish. The ivory one is
not unlike anapkin ring. No woman ever appears
mourning for the dead. II is frghtfuy ugly to see
the upper lip projecting two inches beyond the tip of
the nose; When an old Wearer of hollow bamboo
ring smiles by the action of the muscles of the cheeks
the ring and the lip outside of it are dragged back
and thrown above the eyebrows The nose is seen
through the middle of the ring, and the exposed
teeth show how carefully they have been clipped to
look like those of a cat or crocodile.
The pelele of an old lady, Chikanda Kadze, a
chiettainess, about twenty miles north of Moran
bala hung down below her chin, with Of course a
piece OF the upper lip around its border The abial
letters cannot be properly pronounced but the under
lip has to do its best them against the upper teeth
and gum. Tell them it makes them ugly; tney had
better throw it away; they reply, Kodi! Really! it
is the fashion, How this hideous fashion originated
Is an enigma Can thick lips ever have been thought
beautiful and this mode of artificial enlargement re-
sorted to IN consequence?
The constant twiddling of the pelee with the
tongue by the younger suggested the irrever-
ent idea that it might have been invented to give
sal safe employment to that little member. Why do
old chief Chinsune. Evidently surprised at such a
stupid question: he replied: For beauty to be sure
Men have boards and whiskers; women have none;
and what kind of creature would woman be with
out whIsksrs and without pelele? She would have
mouth like mau, and no beard; ha! ha! ha p
Atterward, on the RoVuma we found men wearing
the pelele as well as women ;"

Pig WITHOUT FooD SEVENTEEN DAYs.-In dis
charging the brig NJ. Shepard yesterday at this port
the aborers were surprised to find small pig slowed
away in the hold among the bales of goods. He
could hardly stand up. but managed to squeal faint
". II appears that the pig was put down the fore
hatch at sea- seventeen days before to be kept from
the cold, and had crawled so far down among the
cargo that ne was given up hopeless pork. There
was nothing eaable in the cargo, and his shows
the remarkable fact that he sustained life without
food or drink for the period of seventeen days He
was very feeble, but readily took hold of little meal
gruel and promises to thrive again.-BoSton Jour.
Il OBJECT" THE Philadelphia Ne,os says:-There
are two things which the Pittsburgers want, which
objection is made by the Pennsylvania company
trst general railroad law; and second an extension
of the Cleveland and Mahoning railroadfro Youngs-
town to Pitsburg that Through line may be esab-
ished from Cleveland and other lake ports through
Pittsburg to Baltimore. Both these propositions are
averse to the interests of Philadelphia and as the
corporation It's managers Very naturally and verS
