8 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. FASHIONS IN FUltMSHINC.8. 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 service Rt table, dessert nsed always to be laid on tho table after the white cloth was removed.

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.

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.

McNish, Johnson and Slavin'* minstrels began n week’s engagement at tho Chicago Opera House last Monday, and the Hanlons with “Fantssma" are at Hooiey's. The latter company and one which is playing Michael Htrognfl" at the Academy of Mu sic, took a cruel and rather contemptible method of advertising, which does not com mend itself to any extent. The “fltrogoff" company advertised for 200 cats to be de livered at the stage door of the Academy yesterday afternoon, and the Hanlons manager annonuced in the same way that 2,000 cats would be taken at Hooiey's stage door st the same time. Inspired by 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 10 cent* each. Then each had a ribbon tied aronnd its neck, with the name of the show that ita owner was connected with printed thereon, and the theatrical "fences" tamed them loose to be worried by dogs or to starve and freeze to death.
