G~alignant's Messenger
A curious ceremony has recently
taken place at Siam, on the occa-
sion of the death of the eldest
Of the white elephants-one of the
idols Of the Siamese. He was born
in 177O, and died in his temple at
Bangkok. A whole people bow
down before this famous Albino
divinity. 1t is the emblem of the
King Of Siam. The most beautiful
presents are given to these animals,
because, influenced by a belief in
the metemp8ychosis, the Indians
believe, even at the present day.
that SO majestic an animal cannot
be animated by the spirit of a god
or az, emperor, Every white els.
ghant possesses its own palace, gold
dishes, and harness studded with
precious stones. Several Mapdarins
are appointed to wait upon it, and
feed it with cakes and sugar.canea
The King Of Siam is the only per.
son before whom it bends its knee,
and the monarch returns this salu.
tation. Magnificent obsequics wer.
prepared for the defunct idol. Some
hundreds Of Buddhist priests off,.
ciated at the funeral ceremony

pnants, preceded by trumpeters.
and followed by an immense CON-.
course Of people, accompanied tbe
