Some Really Queer Customs.

The manners and customs Of the
Nasal. as described by Mr.. Joseph
THOMPSON in the account Of his recent
travels in Africa, are, to put it IN the
mildest language, most pecullar, ana
whole chapter is devoted to the descrlp-
tion of them. Their usual mode OF saul
tation on meeting is to spit IN one
apother's faces, the more copious the
expectoration the greater the friendship;
and Mr.. Thompson, having been voted
a great medicine man, was expected TO
heal diseases in this way; but so great
was the demand on his salivary organs
that he could only satisfy his patients
bv taking repeated draughts OF water.
Faually strange is the custom OF all
the unmarried men and women living IN
the villages together, while the married
folks live bv themselves; these latter
are allowed to eat what they like, but
the unmarried ones may only eat meat
and drink milk. AS soon as a man mar
ries he ceases to be q warrior, and has
to tend the herds of cattle. He IS no
more allowed to join in cattle raids, OF
that determination OF his nelghDors
which is continually going on, and
which seems to be the greater delight
that the young Nasal is capable OF en-
loving: and it is probably because they
would have to forego the pleasures OF
rapine and bloodshed that these amiable
people decline entering into the state OF
matrimony, which, after all, is mere
form, for virtue, as we understand 1t, Is
unknown to them.
Thev have certainly kind of religion,
but verv little even Of that, and seem to
have no belief in a future, as all dead
bodies are thrown to the hyenas, who
are so encouraged by being thus con
tinually fed that if no one should die tc
provide them with a feast, they hell
themselves to the living by taking thu
children ont Of the huts.

The Seuenteen- Year Locusis.-A re-
GENT special tom Bridgeport, Illinois,
gays:
The seventcen-year locusts, which Prot.
Reilly predicted as mentioned in recent
Washington dispatches, seem to have made
their first appearance here. They have been
found in large numbers close to the surface
of the ground and are moving upward. The
indications are strong that an unusually large
swarm will appear in short time. Very ey-
tensve apple orchards We're planted by cap
italIsts this spring, and 4 large eruption of
locusts will almost certainly Kill them.
We should have mentioned last week
that A. L. Croft, OF this place, brought
to this office on the Sth inst. six sam
pies of locusts lie had that day dug
from his mothers garden. They were
fine, hearty specimens of a number
found within few inches of the sur
face and steering upward.
