The Indian woman never brings a mar
rage portion with her. When she takes
a husband unto herself she possesses
nothing. The young man alone brings
the portion, and this is why the young
girls advocate speaks first, and asks for
1T in order to settle the basis of the treaty.
In order not to wound the susceptibility
OF the parties, the advocates never speak
but in allegorical terms. At the close of
the advocates speeches, the bride and
bridegroom, who have been waiting in an
adjoining chamber, make their appear
ance. The young man takes from off his
neck his rosary, or string OF beads, puts it
round the young girls neck, and takes
back hers in lieu of the one he had given
her. The night is spent in dancing and
merriment, and the marriage ceremony,
Just as Christian-like as our own, is ar
ranged to take place.
The servituGe which precedes matri-
mony was practiced long before the con-

species of monsters that have often had
occasion to observe, and even to combat:
the one deniZen of forests, the boa con-
strictor; the other of lakes and rivers, the
cayman or alligator.
At the period at which first occupied
my habitation, and began to colonize the
village of Jala-Ja1a, caymans abounded
on that side of the lake. From my win
dows | daily saw them sporting i'm the
water, and waylaying and swapping at
the dogs that ventured too near the brink.
One day female servant of my wife's,
having been so imprudent as to bathe at
the edge OF the lake, was surprised by one
OF them, a monster OF enormous size.
One OF my guards came up at the moment
she was being carried off. He flied his
muskct at the brute, and hit it under the
lore leg, or arm-pit, which is the only
Vulnerable part. But the wound was in
sufficient to check the cayman's progress,
and it disappeared with its prey.
Nevertheless this little bullet-hole was
the cause OF its death; and here it is to be
observed that the slightest wound receiv-
ed by the cayman is incurable The

night beneath a very large live-oak tree,
and in the morning Just as ! was getting
ready TO start | espied very large pack
of wolves chasing a young heifer across
the prairie. There must have been nearly
100 OF these animals in the pack, and when
l discovered them she was getting ex-
tremeiy wearied, and, indeed, nearly ex-
hausted. Near by was herd of about
80 cattle OF all sizes, beside young calves,
and for these the heifer made direct, bel
lowing at every Jump. No sooner did the
herd discover her distress than the old
cattle commenced snorting. and soon ran

into the solid flesh and into the very in
terror of the body.
This is what happened to the one that
devoured my wife'S maid. A month after
the frightful occurrence the cayman was
found dead upon the bank five or six
leagues from my house. Some Indians
brought back to me the unfortunate wo-
mans earrings, which they had found in
the monsters stomach.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
Upon another occasion a Chinese was
riding UPWARDS in advance of me. We
reached river, and let him go on alone
in order to ascertain whether the river was
very deep or not. Suddenly three or four
caymans, which lay in waiting under the
water, threw themselves upon him. Horse
and rider disappeared, and for some
minutes afterwards the water was tinged
with blood.

one of these vOraciOuS animals, and, at

ity of my house, l made several attempts
