that it is only within the last twelve year years that the marriage rite has been in the least regarded by the natives nor nordkil did this originate says the writer in any moral idea of right but because of a growing sentiment against concubinage continence is a virtue exceedingly rare in hayti from the days of the buccaneers Bucca says the tribune correspondent whose first I 1 wives like the
