A STRANGE MADAGASCAR OATH.
How the Natives swore Their Allegiance
to France.

How the Natives swore Their Allegiance
to France.
The Madagascar mall has brought par
tfculars of a very quaint ceremony
which is reported to. have taken place
in February last at a place called Am
boliunauga. when about 5000 Tanalas
abjured their allegiance to France. So
fas as appears, no Frenchman took
part in the ceremony. the presiding Of
ficer being a native sub-governor OF
the district. The Tanalas mad sworn
allegiance to their former master by
the God of the Christians, but they
now asked to be allowed to swear al
l~egiance to France by "Z~anahary." the
god of their fathers, and in accordance
with the ancient recital OF their faith.
The ceremony began by a visit to the
ancestral tombs being pad by the sub
governor and a representative OF each
village. The tombs were opened and
from each was taken a small quantity
of earth, which was reverently col
lected in a basket. This sacred earth
was then carried with great 'ponmp to
the market place, where the mass OF
the Tanalas were assembled. A canoe
filled with water a been placed in
the market place that morning. Into
this the sacred earth was thrown. as
was also a small quantity OF native
gold and a bullet.
The sub-governor then repeated the
oath. which was to the following effect:
IF the Tanalas rise against the French.
may the bullets enter our stomachs.
as his bullet has entered the sacred
water; may the first bulle, fired by a
white man kill a dozen Tanalas. Let
us swear fidelity and obedience TO the
French before our god, whom we pray,
O Zanahary, to utterly destroy those
who do not think with us and to fol-
low their descendants with the curse
from generation to generation. Is that
your wish. o Tanalas?" The crowd
shouted it's approval. Then the sub
governor. firing a blank shot n the
sacred water. exclaimed, Let us

A Royal Send-Off
The Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation intends to give royal send-off
to the local and Southern California volun-
teers upon their departure from this city
to the scene of action. While the details
have not been definitely decided upon, it
is intended to ask contributions of flow-
ers with which to take to decorate the
cars that will convey the boys in blue to
their destination. The members of the
association will be asked to decorate their
places of business on that day, and It is
expected that a band will be hired, and
that the members will escort the depart
ing soldiers through the city to the depot;
each member to be provided with an
American flag. In order to give the SOL
diers a souvenir, 1t is the intention to ask
contributions of home products and deli
cacies to be used by the soldiers, on their
trip.
