spoken of as good wife. She clings to her
husband in spite of all his faults and. all his

afforded for the construction of approaches.
The digging of trenches and the erection

would be scarcely possible in the day time,
and it is under the friendly. shelter of
night that the work proceeds most rapidly.

Meriah is free to anything in any mans
house, and what might at other times be
held to be dishonorable, is granted as q
favor. At the termination Of this brutal
season. the ceremony Of the human sacri-
fee commences: The victim is led round

from his head, or Amounting their heads
with his spittlc, and he is then stupe6ed
with drugs and taken to the place Of sac

advances, aud with an axe breaks his
joints the mob then fall on him and

is the rite as it used to be practised. 's
