We have had too much water during the last week-not particularly on account of teary rains, though these may have had more or less effect on the over-flooding of the river, which, Its banks having broken in some important places, seem, to have unusually expanded its limite. Ai present we do not bear that the coming crops have suffered, hat this must be the result to some extent, in most of the lower districts, where millet and pess would be swamped, before they were strong enough to resist the inundation.

They have no idels apparently in the sense known to the Chinese, and instead of burying their dead they practise cremalion. Two more points of special interest. In the diaposal of their dead, the bodies are placed in a sitting posture and then bound round with cords, after which a funeral pyre is built and the body burned, the ashes and unburnt wood being subsequently buried at the spot.

When a chicl dies there are gatherings of the tribes for many days, feasting, horse racing, and such other practices as we are accustomed to associate with the red men of the American pizias.
