- A.ell, sir,

yd, for you.iting." " I

.qx,-- v pretend to,.e art,: but thire is

idvbr I can.bbaft. of a

gro method of ta-ming A SHREW".

I departed from Konjour, and sleptat a village called JWalla, or Mai- -

laing, and loon aster arrived at Knl- -

or, a comiaeraDle town ; near theen.tt auce of which I obferve3Wjiang-5n- g

upon a tree, a sort of malgper-ad- e

habit, made of the bark of treeswhich I was told, on enquirWhs-longe- d

to Mumbo Jumbo. Tjpjfisa strange bugbear, common to alTjjtheMandingo towns, and much em,,nlnvedhv the Pafran native's in Vpp

ingthe women lnTnbjection ; for asPthd Kaiirs arc not reltncted m thenumber of their wives, every one

'marries as many as he can conveni-ently maintain ; and, as it frequentlyhappens that the ladies disagree

themselves, family quarrelssometimes rise tofuch a height, thatthe authority of the huffcand can nolonger preserve peacs in his house-hold- -

1

In such cases, the interpofi-tio- n

of Mumbo Jumbb is called in,and is always decisive.

This strange minister of justice,(who is supposed to be either thehusband himself, or some person

by him) disguised in thedrefslhat has been mentioned, andarmed with the rod of public authority, announces his coming (where-ver' his ser-vice-

s are required) byloud and dismal screams in the woods

. near the town. He begins the pan-'jjb;ni-

at the approach of night :

and as soon as it is dark, he entersthe town, and proceeds to Bentang,where all the inhabitants instantlyaffamble.

It may easily be supposed that thisexhibition is not much relifliei bythe women ; for as the person in dif-guis- e

is entirely Unknown to them,every married female fufpefts thatthe vi!it may pofllbley be intendedfrherfclf ; but they dare hot refuseto apoear when they are summoned :an;1 the ceremony commences withfo-ij- ; and dances, .which continueuntil midnight, about which time.

alfJlimbo sixes on the offender. Thisunfortunate vit.im being tlxereuponimmediately seized, is stripped nakedtied to thepoft. an'dfcverely fcourg-- d

with Muiibo's rod, amidd theshouts and de:i(ion of the whole .;

and it is remarkable, thatthe il of tne women are the loudestin their acclimations, on this occafion, as;aiaft their unhappy sifter.

Diy-lih- t puts an end to this in-

decent and unmanly revel?Park's travels.
