/ A Costly Ceren, onia,.

The Indian papers state that the Ma
harajah of Travancore is about to per-
form the ceremony of Thooloparum.-
The process consists of his Highness
being placed in one scale with an equal
weight of gold in the other The gold
thus obtained is. afterwards distributed
among the Brahmins according to each
ones privilege, and it is only after the
ceremony that his Hi9hness is supposed
to be sanetifed There is another cere-
lnony which consists in his Highness
passing through the belly of COW of
gold; this is termed Erniagherbum. This
it is proposed to celebrate next year II
is feared that these costly ceremonies,
combined with tie coming Moorajebum,
will absorb good portion Of. the sur

that women and children are always
