THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY FEBRUARY 16. 1886.-TWELVE PAGES.
TUB FESTIVAL OF MOULOUD.
lull sun oiKtu>,
Saffl in perhaps the best known, bnt
•withal, on account of its picturesque situa
tion and traditions, the most interesting of
the seaport towns of Morocco. Here is to
be found the ancient palace, still in a good
state of preservation, of a ‘‘sultanogre”
named Moulay Yezzid, who was in the
habit of decapitating his domestics to play
at bowls with their heads. This monster,
snrnained “Kedbeard,” a characteristic de
rived from his mother's race, was the son
of Moulay Mohamed be» Abdullah, who
married an Irishwommau, the widow of
an English sergeant of the line, who died
here some time in the year 1730. Saffl is
also one of the holy cities of Moorish em
pire, and in consequence is thronged with
ragged bnt saintly individuals, who thrive
on the charity ofthe devout. During the
Mohammedan holiday of Mouloud, which
was celebrated on the 19th and 20th of
Decemlier, and which embrace a fair held
yearly in honor of that saint, so dear to
all Mussulmans, “Moulay Abd el-Kedar-
Oillely-el-Hagdady,” the Europeans resi
dent here were the shuddering spectators
of the religious frenzy exhibited by the
“AlBsowa” and “Hamadsha," or "Hnm-
dousliy," on the occafion of their public
processions, which are conducted on this
holiday. The "Aissowa” are ofthe brother
hood of “Moulay Hauled ben Auras,”
a saint of great favor among the Moors. It
is pretended that their manifestations,
which include snake-charming and juggling
ridicule the miracles of Jesus Chnst, anil
the preposterious statement is accepted
by the Moors as sufficient explanation of
their vagaries. The “Hamadsha" are the
disciplinants of one Sidi AH ben Hamdousb
whose xowiais situated on Mount Zehrouan,
near the city of Mequinez. It is their prac-
tice on the occasion of religious festivities
to throw cannon balls into the air,
which they receive on their bare
heads, and to inflict |
upon their persons with a small axe. The
holiday of Mouloud is accompanied by the
displays of religious enthusiasts throughout
his Sheerefian majesty the sultan of Moroc
co’s dominions; but at no other point do
these fanatics amuse themselves with such
ferocity as at Saffl, where the rapacionsncsH
of their behavior renders it extremely dan
gerous for a Christian or Jew to cross their
path during certain hours of the day. Even
the Mussulman spectators stand with naked
feet, fearing tho “Aissowa," for lack of
S rey, should seize and devour their shoes.
[one but an eye-witness can conceive the
degrading scenes which occur during
these processions; and none, even the
enactors, can derive enjoyment there,
from. The "Aissowa” are naked to the
waist, and wear their hnir ho that when nec-
emary it covers the face. The ' 'Hamadsha,"
on tho contrary, are shaven, as is the cus
tom of Mohammedans. The principal per
formers assemble at their respective zowias
or chapels in town, and sally forth attend
ed by the "gernowa” (blacks), who are usu
ally the musicians of the party. They beat
tam-tams and play an instrument whoso
tones it is impossible to describe on paper.
Bodice it to say, the student of this
instrument is not allowed to pursue
his practice in town, but has to
play in a solitary and distant
spot until proficient This will convey
some impression of the music imparted to
listeners by tho barbarous flageolet As
the processionists warm with excitement,
then commences the fun of tho fair. The
Aissowa seize any live animal in sight, be
it a cat, dog, goat, or sheep. Goals are
usually provided for these occasions by
admirers.. They tear them to pieces, and
vie one with another to devour the bleed
ing morsels of flesh. They struggle, roll
ing over and over npon the ground, shout
ing, leaping and gesticulating. Thoy
wave the entrails and skins of their
victims in tho faoes of their comrades,
who try to seize the proy with their teeth
or rut their faces in tho reekiug
mass. Just behind and around arc the
"Hamadsha," covered with blood and mire,
singing their quaint but not ungraceful
hymn, and chopping them elves to the
cadence of the music. Much is the strange
behavior of these fiaternities on high days
and holidays. After parading the towu b;
day, in the evening these zealots return tl
their sanctuary, where a supper is provided
for their edification. It ia worthy of note
that their most exciting beverage is green
tea, taken with a large quantity of sugar,
and flavored with mint. The supper is
followed by a pipe of "keefe" (the leaves
of the hemp plant), which forma an agreea
ble sedative after the excltemonts of the
afternoon.

Hume Upholstering Materials and llecora
ttve raneics—Table Finishings.
Philadelphia Times.
To furnisha house artistically requires
a vast amount of care and judgment at the
present day, for notwithstanding there has
never been as large and varied an assort
ment of materisla shown, yet the very fact
of the great variety is bewildering, and un
less care is taken the undertaken proves r
failure. In selecting upholstering goods
the possibilities of ruga or carpets, paint
and paper must be considered, and either
colors that wlU contrast well or else sc
cord with these be selected. Heavy
Oriental fabrics, richly worked with gold
thread and brilliant colors, are effective for
individual pieces of furniture, bnt are too
heavy-looking for an entire suit. With
these can lie introduced chain and low
down couches covered with soUd colored
silk plush. A pretty combination is shown
in a low,broad aofa with upbolatered back,
spread is either mode of satin contrasting
with the furnikhiDg and elegantly embroid
ered, or else of furniture covering or cre
tonne. This entirely covers over the bol
ster and pillows—a fashion not generally
attractive, for certainly nothing can be
morn exquisitely beautiful than delicate
white lace and embroidered draperies.
Colored embroidery is not now nsed up
on table linen, with the exception of five
o'clock tea cloths, which are still decorated
with colored embroidery, lace and fancy
stichos and drawn work. For general wear
the finest damask is used, with the mono
gram of the owners embroidered upon the
cloths and napkins. A revival of an old
custom is to have the desert placed on the
table after the white o'otb lias been ref
moved. The desert tablecloth is
now of embossed velvet of
msh. Each plate, however, is placed on a
ittie white doyly, like for afternoon tea.
Unlike the introduction of the Russian

laid on tho table after the white cloth was

Complaints «,ff III Treatment Made by the
Hands on the C. and M. Kail road.
For several days past it ban been rumored
in Macon that the hands employed on the
Covington and Macon railroad were being
paid in scrip instead of cash. In order to
obtain the troth, a representative of the
Tkleobaph called on President L. F. Liv
ingston and called his attention to the
ramors.
“As far as the road is concerned,” Presi
dent Livingston said, “it has all the money
it needs, and pays in cash every cent of its
indebtedness to the contractors. I under
stand that Ferguson A Co., the contractors
on the first ten miles, pay their hands by
the month. In order to prevent confusion
they give each hand, at the end of each
day, a ticket which shows that he is entitled
to so much money for the day’s work, to
be paid on the regular monthly pay day.

Society in Atlanta (luring the next summer,
under the direction of the eummissioner
of agriculture and a committee from the
secretary wns offered hut not ucted upon.
Mr. R. A. Nishet, of Bibb, was elected
vice-president to fill a vacancy in the
Sixth Congressional district.
Mr. relaney, of Cherokee, moved to re
scind the resolution requiring delegates to
pay tl at each meeting of the society. A
debate ensued on this and the matter was
finally defeated, and a motion by Mr. Nis-
bett waa adopted, making tbe payment of a
dollar by a delegate requisite to getting bis
return ticket stamped.
In the afternoon tension Prof. II.
White, of Athens, gave the result of exper
iments made on tiie University farm, show-
ing the relative value of fertilizers. He
was convinced that home-made fertilizers
were most beneficial and said s good for
mula waa Liutl pounds acid phosphate, SOU
ponnds cf cotton seed meal and ‘JSO pounds
of kainik In reference to corn he said that
experiments had been made which showed
that it was more profitable to allow tbe fod
der to remain on the stalks than to pall it.
On tho labor question he said that the great
need of this country is an intelligent peas
antry -such aa the negro can never hope to
lie—aud the only way to get it ia by encour
aging immigration.
Prof. White's address waa followed by
general discussion of tbe subject.
Mr. Fannin, of Troup, introduced a reso
lution endorsing the technological school,
and recommending that the commissioners
who shall have charge of the inatitution do
include in the cnrricnlmn the study of
practical agriculture.
Mr. Harrell, of Webster, strongly op
posed tho resolution and hoped that the
convention would not indorse tbe action of
tbe Legislature in passing tbe act eetublish-
ing the technological school He took
occasion to make a vehement speech against
public education. He waa not opposed to
education, but he was opposed to taxing
tbe people to pay it. Ue moved tbe refer
ence of the resolution to s committee, bnt
bis motion was lost, and the resolution was
adopted.
Mr. Heard, of Clarke, introduced a set
of resolutions providing for the appoint
ment of a committee to memorialize the
Legislature to enact laws encouraging emi
gration, but npon the statement by the
president that the excursion of Ohio farm
ers had been invited to attend the conven
tion and would probably be here to-mor
row, the resolutions were laid over to nwait
their arrival thst they may know the sen
timents of the society on the subject of
emigration.
The night session was rather an experi
ence meeting in which many delegates gave
their experience in the cultivation of the
various products of the soil. Amoug the
speakers was Mr. Jno. Chapin, of Atlanta,
who gave the Society the benefits of his
experiments in the culture of cotton.
Daring the day s basket of artificid flow-
era was presented to the society by Mrs.
Jane Martin. They were made* of vegeta

manager annonuced in the same way that
2,000 cats would be taken at Hooiey's

theso offers, the street sntbs and loafers iu
the city have been stealing cats for a we»k,
and yesterday hundreds of the animals
were taken to the tacutrca and sold for 5 or

John Carroll is to be Iraried this morning
at 8:90 o'clock from his lato residence, No.
915 South Seventeenth street. Ue was s
tall, hroad-ahoaldered man of forty, slight
to the eye, bnt wonderfully wiry and as
bard of muscle aa iron. Visitors to the
Colonnade Hotel daring the past fifteen
years knew him well. He was there all
that time aa head porter, aud ho was s
faithful one, and bright. Hu died Tuesday,
tearing a fortune estimated at $11X1,000.
About tour years sgo he fell heir to a fortune
of some $00,000 left him by sn nacle who
had died st Oil City after having grown
rich by investments and tramsactinna in oil
lands. Carroll accepted his good lack as he
did everything that came to him, good or
bad, in a quiet, philosophical way. it mode
no change whatever in his manner, and, al
though he was able to bay and sell three-
fonr-hs of the peeple whose luggage he
handled, he still was respectful am!
ential, and accepted tips Lorn people whose
every penny he coaid match with a dollar.
His earning, aa head porter were, owing to
his popularity with the putrons of the Col
onnade, very Urge, sometime* reaching, it
is said, $25 s day. He bad invested his
saving* with proj table foresight in real es
tate. He uaed hU inheritance in the same
way, and st hia death he was the owner, it
was thought, of thirty or forty house*, and
wsa s member of several bonding sssocu-
tions.

reported to have saved all his ycung trees,
