mama.

Botanists and travellers have been
rather unsuccessful in attempts to as
certain the origin of different kinds of
mama known in commerce. In the
Valley of Gohr, to the south of the Dead
Sea, sixteen hours onward which leads
into long valley, Buckhardt found
what he called mama, dropping from
twigs of several kinds of trees. lIa
According to his representations,
Arabs collect it and make it into cakes,
which are eaten with their nauseous but
ter made from the milk of sheep. They
churn it thus: A goat skin is filed with
milk and suspended between two poles,
swung to and fro by pulling an attached
cord until il assumes new character
a greasy, soapy mass--and that is Arab
butter.
Commercial mama, principally in
the hands of druggists, is product of
the punotured stems of 0rnus Europe.
growing in Calabria. An article very
similar in appearance and medical prop
critics is procured in Sicily by the same
kind OF process, Both have a sweetish
taste, are soft, of pale, yellowish color,
and used for their mild laxative quality
rather than food.
From the foregoing facts, it is very
clear there is not the slightest resem.
blance to that extraordinarily nutritious
article which was miraculously provided
for the children Of Israel 10 q barren
wilderness, on memorable occasion,
while IN their forty years peregrinations
toward the Promised Land. sL

THE SOCIETY ISLANDS.
A Native orange Rum yeast.

The natives have collected in groups,
reclining on mats in front Of the few
principal houses in the village the Gig
arctic is passed from one to another,
and to the stranger unacquainted with
their language some grave matter is be-
ing discussed but it is not so; it is the
preparations of an orange-rum feast,
and the Hula Hula that hold their atten-
ton. Presently, two or three Europe
ans, bringing large casks with them,
join the assembly; in short time ten
or fifteen hogsheads are collected, and
the women and the, young people are
detailed to gather the oranges on the
morrow. These casks are taken perhaps
two or three miles up the valley, until
the most unfrequented spot is reached,
where they are filled with the juice of
the orange, holes are dug, and the casks
are buried for two days, by which time
the liquor is fermented and ready for
use. On the third day the young people
of the neighboring districts, an assem-
bly, of from eighty to one hundred males
and females, proceed TO the scene of the
revel. 1t is midday; in a shady spot,
where the tropical underground has
been cleared all are seated in a ring.
Here is girl hardly thirteen years old,
by her side hoary-head sinner of 40;
next is native man Of perhaps 20; at
his right is a halfcaste girl; forming
another portion of this circle is an
American, formerly sailor on board a
whale ship; his daughter, too, If mis-
take not, mixes in this assembly, and
the natives closing the ring are mixed
with the refuse of civilization. The
liquor is passed into tubs, and each per-
son is provided with half cocoanut
shell, the scene of debauchery and
drunkenness is inaugurated; and in less
than half an hour gallon or more is
drank by each one of the assembly.
The scene changes, and it Is eighty or
one hundred demons that are before US.
Every particle of dress is thrown aside
and the obscene Hula-Hula dance is
commenced; more hquor is drank, and
the revel has fairly reached its summit.
At times the scene is diversified by q
fight for the possession of one of the
fair daughters of the Isle. Night closes
on sight far too horrid to describe, far
too disgusting to write upon.
During the orange season, which lasts
from February to July, the orange feasts
are of frequent occurrence in all the
districts round the island, and it may be
truly said morality and virtue have
reached the lowest point in Taniti =
Alta California sketch Of the Society
Islands.

SLEEP BY THE SEA.

Friends, when you think am like to die,
Carry me where the sea is roaring;
There. ON my last bed, let me lie
And list to the long wave landward pouring
Beating, beating,
And ever repeating
The cry it cried, when it first was hurled,
With myriad shock,
On the barrier-rocks
In the very birthday Of the world.
And If 1 could die within sounds of the sea
The voices of all who e'er loved and knew
me,
To mingle with hers, who Is dearest to me,
Its murmur would bring-to sleep to woo
me
Throbbng, throbbing,
And plaintivcly sobbing,
As erst it sighed when the night and morn
Had faded away
Of the first fair day,
When this beautiful world of ours was born.
Oh, there in church-yard high on cliff,
In how deep a sleep, from the vain endeavor
Of longing and life. could rest me-if
The sea its wild lullaby sang forever.
Beating, beating.
And still repeating
The cry it cried, when it first was hurled.
With myriad shocks,
On the barrier rocks,
In the very birthday of the world.

Royal Coronation in Ethiopia.

The Levant Times gives a long account
of the coronation Of Prince Casa, the
new King OF Ethiopia, which took place
at Axum on the l4th of January. The
solemnities lasted fortnight, and the
first step in them was Prince Cassa's de-
parture from Adoa on the 4th of January,
en- route for Axum, which was reached
on the 18th. On the 18th grand re-
view took place at which 5000 Abyssin-
ian priests were present as spectators.
On the l4th Casa made his solemn en-.
try into the cathedral of Axum, where
the coronation ceremony was gone
through. At the termination of this. he
repaired to palace which he had had
especially built for the occasion, and
mounted the throne, leading up to which
were twelve steps, wearing the crown
upon his head. AT this moment the
company were so overjoyed as to be un-
able to restrain themselves, and began
discharging firearms in the throne-room,
much to the delight, apparently, of the
new monarch, but to the detrlment Of
the ceiling, if not of the nerves of any
delicately organized Ethiopians. The
close of the rejoicing will, however, in
the eyes of Englishmen, atone for the
somewhat barbaric nature of the pre-
vious proceedings. The eating and
drinking lasted three consecutive days,
and during the whole time the king re-
manned in the room. The people entered
by relays of 400 at time, and the car
nival did not end until 1000 head of cat.
tie and 5000 hives of honey, used in the
preparation of hydromel, had been con-
sumed. 1851 tltn
