THE PENITENTES,

The penitentes are holding
forth. During the three days
they give themselves up to the
order, they pass through tho most
barbarous treatment. There are
a great many in this locality, but the
best families will have nothing to do
with 1t. The penitentes started in
Tuesday night and will keep away
from the general public until Fri
day morning at daylight. Everyday
they appear with masked faces
whipping themselves with cactus till
the blood runs down their foolish
backs. Some carry crosses made out
OF heavy timberS, and as they move
off with their burlonsome load, their
paths are strewed with thistles which
they walk on with their shoeless feet.
After arriving in the mountains they
stand the cross up and place one Of
their members upon it, tying him
often times so tightly that he is
more dead than alive when taken
oil. a few years ago here, one of
their members died from the effects
Of this brutal treatment.
1t makes ones blood run cold to
see 'tIty or one hundred OF these
natives with hardly a railnent of
clothing on their dusty backs, being
whipped and beaten, and walking
upon stones until their feet has the
appearance Of raw beefsteak. They
claim that whether they steal or
murder or sin in any way, these
annual whippings act like a salve on
a fresh cut and heals everything, and
the majority Of them think by being
thus tortured they have a licence to !
any deed, no difference how
atrocious. When they 90 before

find every sin marked up against
