KABOBIQUA'S, a nation in the fouth of Africa, who 
are reported never to have feen a white man till the year 
1785, when they were vifited by M. Vaillant. On his ap¬ 
proach, they felt his hair, hands, feet, and alinolt every 
part of his body. His beard aftonifhed them, and they 
fuppofed that his whole body was covered with hair. 
The children were greatly alarmed, but prefents of fugar- 
candy foon reconciled them. ,Tlie chief lhowed him every 
mark of relpelt; whom he reprefents as a majeftic figure, 
with a long mantle made of four jackals’ Ikins. The hair 
of the people is very fliort, curled, and ornamented with 
fmall copper buttons. Although they go almoft naked, 
the females are remarkably chafte, and very referved. 
Their only ornaments are glafs beads. M. Vaillant af- 
fures us that he never faw a nation fo difinterelled, as they 
vied with each other in generofity. Many of them gave 
away gratuitoully, and without receiving any thing in re¬ 
turn, part of their herds and flocks. They are alfo of a

arrows and lances with long points. They are extremely

exifts far beyond the ltars. They have no idea of a fu¬
