There, the black tribes of Africa exhibit the same opinions in the worship of their fetiches.

See the inhabitant of Juida worship god in a great snake, which, unluckily, the swine delight to eat.* The Teleutean attires his god in a coat of several colors, like a Russian soldier.** The Kamchadale, observing that everything goes wrong in his frozen country, considers god as an old ill-natured man, smoking his pipe and hunting foxes and martins in his sledge.*** * It frequently happens that the swine devour the very species of serpents the negroes adore, which is a source of great desolation in the country.

President de Brosses has given us, in his History of the Fetiche, a curious collection of absurdities of this nature.
** The Teleuteans, a Tartar nation, paint God as wearing a vesture of all colors, particularly red and green; and as these constitute the uniform of the Russian dragoons, they compare him to this description of soldiers.

Eusebius Proep.Evang.p 115.

The Teleuteans call God Bou, which is only an alteration of Boudd, the God Egg and World.
