I shall notice here only one or two points of national character those which differ most conspicuously from ours, and in which, consequently, they are least worthy. With a fatuity hardly more credible than creditable, the Lalugwumps, as they call themselves, deny the immortality of the soul.
"There are still others, more distinguished for faith than works, who reason that if A kill B, B cannot kill C. So it happens that although many Lalugwumps die, mostly by the hands of others, though some by their own, the country is never wholly depopulated."
In all my stay in their country I found only one person who believed in a life "beyond the grave," as we should say, though as the Lalugwumps are cannibals they would say "beyond the stomach."
I cried, remembering the Lalugwumps and Gnarmag-Zote, "is it thought in Ghargaroo that death is an advantage, a blessing?" "Then," I said, "I infer that the death penalty is unknown to your laws!" "We have the life penalty instead. Convicted criminals are not only enriched, as already explained, but by medical attendance kept alive as long as possible.
