Affairs in Georgia,
Why doesn't Bard challenge Conley ?
They have a grudge against each other
an( j_aud—both live in Atlanta.
I'nder the title of “An Apology,’' Wat
son, of the Macon Telegraph, writes some
Ter y pretty and very apt verses wherein
he compares the mere rhymester to a jay
bird. While we admire the sentiment of
Watson’s “Apology,” we can but look
upon it as a violent attack upon some of
the Atlanta poets.
The reason that the Fourth came upon
the fifth this year was to allow the editor
of the Atlanta Herald twelve hours’ rest
from his arduous centennial labors.
The Augusta Chronicle performs the
feat of publishing Mr. Stephens’s Atlanta

In the hilarious festivities attendant
upon the celebration of the giloryous
Fourth, an enthusiastic public must not
forget to remember that Col. J. Romulous
Randall and Major H. Capricornus
Stevenson are still agents of the won
derful long-fibre Japanese corn.
Among the features of the Fourth in
Atlanta was the figure of Lieut. Col. H.
Winsome Grady parading the streets and
firing off a brass-mounted horse-pistol,
which has somehow managed to descend
from our revolutionary forefathers and
mothers. At night it is said that he pur
chased and burned a bunch of fire-crack
ers. It is one of the beauties of such a
day that it allows the overworked metro
politan editor to unbend his mind, and
affords him an opportunity to wear his
breeches in his boots and chunk his
neighbor’s yard-dog. Truly, truly may
this country be said to be “ the home of
the land and the free of the brave ”—or
something of that kind.

Captain John T. Lingo, of Wilkinson
county, says he can afford to wait seven
teen years for the Governorship. That
is not the question. If Lingo raises an
average of twenty-five bushels of com to
the acre this season, nothing will prevent
his nomination. We will vote for him
for Governor if we have to murder seven

In Wilkinson coflnty the other day, a

We must be allowed to plume ourselves
a moment. We have discovered a genu
ine Georgia artist, a copper-plate engraver,
native and to the manner bom. He is a
young man, his name is Percy Stevens,
and he lives in Atlanta. The latest pro
duct of his art is a very beautiful and
elaborate card of invitation issued by
George Sharp. Jr., the well-known jew-
eller, with whose establishment Mr.
Stevens is connected. It is most fcaste-
bfily designed and artistically executed
indeed, it is infinitely superior to anything
the kind we have seen in many a day.
The design is delicately, gracefully and
ah % wrought, and even the casual ob
server can easily perceive that it is not
the production of a mere mechanic. Mr.
Stephens, we believe, is the only copper-
plate engraver in the South outside of
Iky *J ew Cleans. It is worthy of note, too,
that be learned his art within the borders

entirely upon the resources ot his own

genius. We have several other speci
mens of Mr. Stevens’s art, and they all
show the same delicate fancy, graceful
design and careful execution. Our young
friend is in the line to become famous.
Irwinton (Wilkinson county) Southern
er: Mr. C. C. Smith, of this county, has a
bale of cotton, made during the war, for
which he was offered in May, 1865, 44
cents per pound, but thinking it less than
its value refused to sell. Cotton took a
downward turn about that time, and has
been falling ever since, and he has held
this cotton, expecting at some time to
get at least his first offer for it. Let us
see what he has lost by holding it until
now. Five hundred pounds of cotton at
44 cents would net $220 00. Interest on
this amount for ten years at 7 per cent,
would make the sum of $154 00. Add
this to the $220 00 and he would have
$374 00. The present price of low mid
dling in this market is 14 cents, and 500
pounds of cotton would bring $70 00.
Deduct this amount from $374 00 and
it would make his loss on one bale of cot
ton $304 00. This is the strongest argu
ment we ever heard advanced against
farmers holding on for a better price.
Monroe Advertiser: Dr. J. S. Lawton
returned from his farm, in Calhoun
county, last week, and gives us some
information relative to the growing crops
in Southwest Georgia. He reports that
there has been great suffering from
drought, many of the farms not having
rain for eight and nine weeks. There
are a few localities that have been blessed
with good showers, but by far the largest
portion of the county has been with
out rain. The corn is almost com
pletely ruined, and the cotton is smaller
and less promising than he ever knew
the crop in Southwest Georgia. If
good rains should come now the com
crop would not be benefitted any great
deal, as it is almost too far gone to be
saved. Dr. L. has a patch of two acres
in cotton and one in corn in Calhoun
county, upon which he bestowed unusual
c-tre in the preparation of the soil.
The ground was plowed deep. While
the other fields of corn and cotton
are very badly fired and are grow
ing little, if any, these patches look
green and luxuriant, and the crops
are growing rapidly. In a field of 75
acres of com six acres were planted in
soil well prepared. This looks a great
deal better than the other 69 acres. Dr.
L. brought a stalk of cotton from the
two acre patch as a specimen. It was a
large aud vigorous plant, containing 135
bolls, blooms and squares, of which 15
were large bolls. The cotton was of a
cluster variety, and this was, perhaps,
the best stalk of cotton we ever saw as
early as the 30th of June.

more, June 30.—A few minutes before 4
o-clock this afternoon Major J. Lyle
Clarke, a well known citizen of Baltimore,
and traveling salesman for the wholesale
house of Thos. J. Flack & Sons, while
seated at a dinner table at the St. Clair
Hotel, was approached by two young
men who had quietly entered the dining
room. On reaching the table at which
Clarke was seated the younger of the
two drew a pistol, and, placing it near
the back of Clarke’s head, fired. The shot
startled all the guests at the tables, and
the greatest excitement prevailed. Clarke
grappled with his assailant, and the por

AN ENGLISH OPINION.
London, July 0.—Two hundred persons
were present at the banquet given by the
Americans last evening in honor of the an
niversary of the declaration of indepen
dence. Among the guests were U. S.
Grant, Jr., son of President Grant,
Messrs. Hoffman and Chesebrough, of
the legation in London, Messrs. W ood-
house and Stevens, Hugh McCulloch,
Gen Bradford, the American Consuls at
Dundee and Southampton, H. M. Watts,
Dr. Livingstone’s son, Naval Constructor
Barnaby, . Sir Frederick Perkins, and
Henry Richard, member of Parliament.
The Standard of to-day contains an
exceedingly violent article against the
celebration by the Americans. It says :
“None but Americans would venture
such a display of bad taste and dis_
courtesy as was shown in yesterday’s cele
bration, and none but the English would'
tolerate it. It is hardly decent for any
loyal Englishman to participate in the
celebration of English disasters. The
American insurrection was about the most
unprovoked rebellion in history. Iu the
present times, forbearance and concilia
tion on the English side is returned by
America with insult and abuse, which is
only encountered by cringing flattery,
and this Dean Stanley calls reconciliation
aud peace-making.”
The Standard in concluding its article
says: “Among Americans there are but
few net actually participating in the gen
eral system of public plunder in the
country who would not joyfully exchange
their institution for the order, honesty
and loyalty of this empire, from which a
century ago they made their insane re
volt ”
SAD ENDING OF A PLEASURE PARTY.
Norfolk, July G.—The steam tug Lum
berman, while returning last night from
Fortress Monroe with a pleasure party of
eighteen on board, wa3 run into off
Sewell’s Point by the steamer Isaac Bell,
and sunk immediately in fifty feet of
water. Boats were lowered from the
Isaac Bell, and several of the survivors
picked up. The following is a list of the
lost: Mrs. E. Hudgins, a widow lady,
and her colored servant, George Wilson;
Mrs. Jesse Fredereci, Mrs. G. W. Baker,
Capt. Edward Cook, James C. Borum,
Harry Borum, of Norfolk; Miss M. Borum
of Matthews county, and the engineer of
the Lumberman. Capt. Brown, of the
Lumberman, was struck on the head and
severely injured by the wheel of the
Isaac Bell, but he had strength to rescue
his wife, who had to crawl through the
window of the pilot house to avoid being
carried down by the sinking boat. Mrs.
Brown was severely injured internally,
and it is feared she will not survive.
Boats have been sent down to drag for
the bodies.

An Obstructing Railroad Company
Outwitted.—The Pittsburg (Pa. ') Leader
of Thursday says the Columbia Conduit
Gompany has now perfected arrange
ments for haijling oil across the West
Philadelphia Railroad at Montrose by a
public highway crossing at that point,
the railroad company having by injunc
tion prevented the Conduit Company
from laying its pipes under the track. A
large tank, communicating with the line
to the oil regions is erected near the rail
road, and the oil is delivered into the
tank from the oil regions. From this
tank the oil is taken into iron-tank
wagons, which are then drawn over the
public highway, where they are emptied
into the dump-j)ox communicating vith
the four large tanks on the river bank.
The company commenced work on
Wednesday, and in four hours, with only
two tank-wagons, put 1,750 barrels across,
whilst the transfer was made at a cost of
less than one-half cent per barrel. The

A Shocking Tragedy—Sad Death of

under suspicious circumstances, of Dora
Benkhardt, aged twenty years, the daugh
ter of W. Benkhardt, the Postmaster at
Jerusalem station, on the Long Island
Railroad. It is stated that for some time
past Miss Benkhardt had been keeping
company with the son of a neighbor,
named James Weaver. On the night of
June 16th, she was taken suddenly ill,
and Weaver, on being informed of the
fact, went immediately to procure the
services of Dr. Preston, of Amityville.
Dr. Preston had reason to suspect that
something was wrong, from the fact that
about three months previously Weaver
had come to him and wished him to give
the girl some medicine, as she was in
trouble, which the doctor refused to do.
Dr. Preston found on his arrival that the
girl was dead. Information was given to
the coroner the next day and an inquest
was held. The testimony showed that
Miss Benkhardt had died in giving birth
to a child. The father of young Weaver,
after refusing at first to answer any ques
tions, acknowledged that at the request
of the girl he had buried the child. This
was exhumed and found to have been
bom alive. Dr. Aroularis, of this city,
testified that the girl, with her mother,
had called upon him, and he had given
her medicine to relieve her. At this point
the inquest was adjourned until next
week.—N. Y. Tribune, 1st.

FROM B. BAYLISS.
Letter From London — Direct Trade —
What is Promised and What is Wanted,
Etc.
[From the Memphis Appeal.]
The cotton trade is dull in Liverpool—
tendency downward ; no activity, and
little disposition among the spinners to
buy, owing to dull trade in Manchester,
the favorable reports of the growing
crop in cur country, and much uneasiness
in the financial markets, which subse
quently has developed in several failures,
two concerns alone suspending for about
six million pounds sterling—Alexander
Collie & Co. and Young, Boothwick & Co.
—besides several others, liabilities not
named. Most of the suspensions, how
ever. so far, are caused by the failure of
Collie <fc Co. All securities are depressed,
and material declines in many. I find
the people in London about as sensitive
as our people when money matters are
disturbed. It is probable that the liabili
ties so far reach eight million pounds
sterling, and the newspapers say the end
is not yet—only the beginning, many an
ticipate. Of course this will affect the
money market on our side to some ex
tent, but fortunately only one house so
far is connected with the American trade.
Nothing of any importance to say
about Liverpool, as cotton is the only
article that interests j t ou, and reports of
the market you have daily. I met there
Thomas and John Leach, and Mr. Phil
lips, from Memphis. Thomas Leach and
the latter gentleman had just arrived
at Liverpool.
Since coming to London I have had
several interviews with prominent men
on the subject of trade and the establish
ment of sailing and steamship lines from
Liverpool to Charleston and New Orleans.
Sir Herman Hirsh has invented a new
model of steamships for light draft, car
rying ten thousand bales of cotton on
sixteen feet of water, which Hon. Mr.
Reid, M. P., told me to-day, and who has
been the engineer for England, a man of
first-class reputation, that these ships
would succeed beyond the slightest doubt.
Such, I find, is the opinion of other
competent judges. I have been with
Mr. Hirsh for several days talking
over the matter, and I am satisfied that
this line of ships is to open the mouth
of the Mississippi river without jetties or
canals. There is also a line of sailing
vessels to run from Liverpool to Charles
ton, with a capital stock of one million
pounds, but they require one-third sub
scribed on our side. I was summoned
before a committee on yesterday, of
which Sir Edward Pearson is chairman,
to state what I thought or knew in regard
to the feeling of the people of the Missis
sippi valley upon the subject of direct
trade, to which I replied that we desired
it above all things, and that was what we
were working for, but unfortunately,* on
account of the impoverished condition
of the Southern States, that portion of
the valley was not in a situation to render
much assistance by taking stocks in their
projected lines of steamships; that
(jocularly) we could do the talking if
Europe would furnish the money.
I find a deep feeling here on the sub
ject, which, from the indications, will
result in something of importance before
a great while. They seem determined to
open up this trade, but they want us
committed to it in every possible way,
not only in an earnestness and good will
but in a money way, however small. I
was requested to act for the interests of
a corporation here—at Paris—upon the
important question of trade, which I
promised 10 do, at the meeting of the
Geographical Congress. Shall leave for
Paris to-raorrow, but will be in cor
respondence with several parties here,
vuring m3 stay there, upon the gTeat
question of trade, and will let you know
the result. Truly, B. Bayliss.
Resisting Innovations on the Jewish
Liturgy.—Israel J. Solomons, President
of the Board of Trustees of the Congre
gation B’Nai Jeshurun, worshiping in the
Thirty-fourth Street Synagogue, has
commenced proceedings to restrain a
majority of the congregation from mak
ing certain alleged innovations in the
existing liturgy, or order of worship, as
heretofore practiced. The matter was
argued before Judge Larremore, in Com
mon Pleas, special term, yesterday, when
it was claimed on behalf of plaintiff that
the congregation was originally organized
to hold worship according to the custom
of the Polish and German Jews; that by
authority of an alleged vote of the majority
of the congregation that the Trustees are
about to change this mode of wirshipfby
so changing the seats as to permit the
men and women to sit together, instead
of sitting separate, as now; by introduc
ing a choir and the aid of an organ.
These changes, Mr. Solomons claims, are
in violation of the original by-laws gov
erning the worship of the congregation,
to which he as a corporator and pew-
holder has a right to object, which he
has a right to oppose, and which the
court has a right to restrain. On the
part of the defendants in the suit it is
claimed that the proposed changes are
no substantial variation from the original
mode of worship of the congregation;
that they are justified by the approval
of a majority of the congregation, and
that the change to be made in seating
the members of the congregation is no
infringement of the rights of the plain
tiff as a pew-holder. After argument.
Judge Larremore took the papers, re
serving the decision.—N. Y. Times.
Highwaymen in Brooklyn.—A daring
but unsuccessful attempt at highway rob
bery was made in Brooklyn on Thursday
afternoon by a gang of thieves, three of
whom are in custody. The robbery was
attempted at about half-past two o’clock.
As Mr. Thomas Mullin, of No. 277 Myrtle
avenue, was passing along Concord street
in the direction of his residence, near
Hudson avenue, he was suddenly sur
rounded by fiye men. Twp of them ap
proaching him from the rear, seized his
arms and held him while their confeder
ates attempted to rob him. One of them
caught hold of his gold watch chain with
the intention of pulling the timepiece from
his pocket. The chain broke,however. Mr.
Mullin, after a severe struggle, succeeded
in freeing himself from the grasp of the
highwaymen. He endeavored to escape
by running, but they followed him so
closely that he was obliged to defend
himself with a large paving stone that he
picked up in the street. With this
weapon he kept the thieves at bay for a
few moments, when a number of citizens
came to his assistance and put his assail
ants to flight. The occurrence was re
ported to the police and Roundsmen Cor
nell and Downey subsequently arrested
James Cullen, aged twenty-one years;
Patrick Handley, aged nineteen years,
and Philip Traine, aged eighteen years.
The prisoners, whom Mr. Mullin identi
fied as three of the meo who assaulted
him, were captured in Prospect, near pul
ton street. They were locked up at the
Myrtle avenue police station to await ex
amination before Justice Riley. The
police have a clew to the two remaining
members of the gang, and hope soon to
effect their arrest.—N. Y. Herald.
Rapid Transit.—When we get at New
York, on the 2Gth of June, a cajrgo of tea
from Japan that has' caiue all the way
since the 24th of May, a running time of
a month, we may fairly think we are
doing something in the way of rapid
transit. This achievement, which was
accomplished last Saturday, is the fastest
time from Japan that has over been made,
and it was due in large measure, of course,
to the Pacific Railroad. As the cargo
can be sent in nine days more to Eng
land, it looks like a speedy revolution in
the East India trade, in favor of the
American route. And the end is not yet.
Something can an<f will be done ere long,
to shorten the time of ocean travel. It
may not be a “Keely motor” (is that
thing anything else but carbonic acid gas?
—some kind of “gas,” surely), nor, per
haps, an Ericsson solar engine; but it
will not be many years before the idea of
crossing the ocean by strain power, and
its accompanying bulky and weighty car
go of coal, will be practically as obsolete
as the old Ramage printing press that
printed Baxters “ Saints’ Rest.” Selah !
—Hartford Times,
THE MARL BEDS OF SOUTHERN
GEORGIA.
A Plea for the ‘Cnyler Desert.”
[From the Valdosta Times.]
Dr. Little, the State Geologist, informs
a reporter of the Atlanta Herald that one
of his surveying parties is now exploring
the marl beds of Southern Georgia. The
future operations of the party will be a
diagonal course from the lower Chatta
hoochee, by way of Thomasville, to Ma
con, and thence to Savannah. The
Doctor says he would send them directly
across the Southern counties, but thinks
it safer for the health of the party to
pursue the other line.
Now, with all due respect to the Doc
tor’s superior general knowledge, we
know, in this particular, he is mistaken.
No healthier section, or one freer from
disease of every kind, can be found in the
State than along the line of the A. & G.
R. R. from Thomasville to Savannah.
The party of engineers who surveyed that
line in 1858 can testify that but one of
their number was sick (and that for one
night only) during the whole survey. We
venture the assertion that to day there
are not a half dozen persons 6ick with
climatic or nndarial dise.ase from one
end of this road to the other. What
is passing strange to us is, that after re
peated testimony, official, professional
and otherwise, that the health of this
country is good and will compare with
other sections of the State, and in many
instances superior, yet persons at a dis
tance who are educated and well inform
ed upon every other subject cannot be
got to realize or acknowledge the fact
that is not a sickly country. Whenever
this subject comes up, whenever the
“Cuyler Desert” is involved, they turn
from it as they would the dead
Upas tree. You are mistaken Doc
tor ! You need have no fears. Be
not alarmed at any previously conceived
notions. Send your party through on the
line you originally intended they should
go. You have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by it. By following a
line from Thomasville to Savannah, will
about equally divide all that level or
third of the State, and a geological survey
through this section will cross or run
near the source of all the streams that
water this portion of Georgia.
It is not expected that any consider
able quantity of mineral or metalic sub
stances will be developed, such as gold,
silver, iron, copper, Ac., but it is expected
that marl and other fertilizing substances
will be found in great abundance. There
is something in this soil that proves to
the people year after year, and more and
more, that it is to be a fine agricultural
country. New evidences of it are daily
being develped, and a thorough and ac
curate geological survey will demonstrate
and make bare the fact. Then, while the
hills of North Georgia are being dug
down and their precious metals extracted,
our fertile lands, enhanced in value, will
be sought after by the emigrants for agri
cultural purposes.
We hope Dr. Little will, for the best
interest of the country, have the geologi
cal exploration made through this suction,
believing that his original design was the
proper one, and that vastly more will be
accomplished than to surround it, and
give it the go-by through needless fear of
being sick.
Mrs. Brigham Young No 17.—The
Prophet Charged with Perjury
while A-Wooing.
Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, the seven
teenth wife of the Mormon prophet, is
about to attempt securing his indictment
for perjury. To this end she has made
an affidavit against him at Boston of a
peculiarly outspoken character. Briefly
to recite its contents, she declares that
she was brought up exclusively in the
Mormon faith ; that polygamy was a car
dinal doctrine of the Church, and she
was taught from her childhood to believe
in it with an implicit faith, and that un
less she consented to and contracted a
polygamous marriage, she could not bo
assured of her salvation or happiness
in the life hereafter. The Prophet has,
she says, by his enormous wealth, his
cunning and address, and his unscrup
ulous character, come to exercise an
almost boundless influence in Utah. She
was taught to accept him as God’s vice
gerent on earth, entitled to her reverence
aDd obedience, and heard him invariably
proclaim, as a divine revelation, the truth
of polygamy. She was further induced
to believe that marriage outside the Mor
mon Church was unlawful and adulterous,
and that to become the wife of the
Prophet was a sure means of attaining a
most exalted position in the world to
come. She thoroughly believed Mr.
Young to be the vicegerent of God, pos
sessing great and miraculous powers and
knowledge, so much so that he was able
to read the thoughts in the minds of every
person; a perfect and pure man, inca
pable of aDy wrong in deed or word-
So great was the reverence in which
she held him that when he proposed
mairiage the very thought of such
an act was revolting to her
mind. To influence her he held out as a
truth revealed from God that those wo
men who become his wives have been
promised a peculiarly high and honorable
position, so much so that they would be
acknowledged as princesses in heaven,
and that their families would be the re
cipients of very high honors in heaveD.
NotwithstandiDg this teaching the affiant
refused to become his wife, and only con
sented to espouse him after he had ex
erted his influence on her parents and
threatened to ruin financially her brother
and to cut him and all the other members
of her family off from the privileges of
the Church here and the enjoyment of
heaven hereafter. In conclusion, she
declares that only through her ignorance
and fears she was induced to ma^ry the
ProDhet, anc* that he practised on her
and T the members of her family through
his position, which he knew at the time to
be a false one.
Fatal Result of a Bath.—The em
ployes and brokers of the custom house
were considerably shocked yesterday
morning over the intelligence of the sud
den death of Captain Alfred F. Puffer, a
young and popular deputy collector. The
shock was more severely felt from the
fact that the deceased left tfie custom
house late Wednesday afternoon in the
best of health aud spirits, and returned
to his home, No. 9 West 24th street.
Soon after arriving there the oppressive
heat impelled him to take a cooling bath,
which he proceeded to do, and had no
sooner entered the bath tub and immersed
his body in water, than the shock
to the system caused apoplexy of the
brain. He, however, realized his posi
tion in time to summon his wife anfl the
inmates of the house, hut afterwards
lapsed into umionseiousness before access
to the bath room was obtained. He lay
in spasms throughout the night, and died
at 9 o’clock yesterday morning.—N, Y.

Another Courtship Ended by Death.
—Edwin A. Schade, of 2316 1st avenue,
registered in French’s Hotel on Tuesday
evening, and waa assigned to room 27.
yesterday morning at 2 o’clock the watch
man heard a moaning in the room, anti
knocking at the door inquired what the
matter was, whet Schade opened the door
and said he was very sick. The watch
man informed Mr. Haines, the clerk, and
he learned from the sick man that he had
taken arsenic with the intention of com
mitting suicide. He was at once sent to
the Park Hospital. Dr. Getman admin
istered the usual antidotes, but the poison
had done its work, and Schade died at
half-past three. Before his death he told
the hospital surgeon his story. He had
been engaged, he said, to a beautiful
young lady in idth street, and she had
jilted him.—N. Y. Sun, 1st.

FETISH WORSHIP.
The Singular Ceremonies of Colore
Heathen—Celebration of Their Rite* fc
the Youdou People of New Orleans.
[From the New Orleans Times of Friday.]
About midnight Wednesday the villaf
of Milneburg became exceedingly an:
mated. Every hotel and restaurant w;
brilliantly illuminated, and a crowd <
several hundred lingered upon the * she
walks of its main thoroughfare, nor di
activity appear confined to thisparticuh
locality. Far out on the T head of tl.
wharf a great reflector gleamed a welcom
and upon closer inspection the prepara
tions for deglutition to an unheard of ex
tent were gradually developed. St. John
eve a century ago became an institution
but as is usually the case love of novelty
proved quite as potent as conviction, ano
there were present at Milneburg as man}
lookers on as true believers. A few, the
writer hereof regrets to say, seemed pre
disposed towards levity, and several verj
young men were even inclined to be
boisterous, but as a community of men
and women, not too straight-laced, and
somewhat addicted to late hours, we
managed to preserve a reputation for de
corum. Many of us had witnessed the
ceremony repeatedly and spoke know
ingly of Marie Lavaux and the
wouders of her incantations. A few
visited the scene for the first time
and pazed at the glowing fires,
stretched along the shore as far as the
eye could reach, with a look of incredul
ity. It was past midnight when a crowd
of probably about fifty, consisting of
men and women, black and. white, made
their way out the long wharf, and about
half way to the T head turned into a
bridge-like walk, which leads to a white
frame building, resting upon piles, per
haps two hundred feet distant. Two
metropolitans guarded the entrance and
collected the admission fees, voudouism
being a somewhat expensive entertain
ment, involving the destruction of no in
considerable amount of property.
The railed way terminated in a bar
room, where two colored men presided,
a wide gallery, upon which were congre
gated numerous spectators, and two
rooms opening from it, wherein a score
of “frail ones,” with members of the
sporting fraternity, and men ranked
among the young and giddy, were whirl
ing in the mazes of the waltz. The
Terpsichorean interlude appeared pre
liminary to more important ceremonies,
a grace before meat, so to speak, for a
majority of the female participants were
white, with reputations, candor compels
us to admit, not altogether stainless.
Madame Frazie, the voudou queen, a
large woman, and a corpulent, black as
the ace of spades, gazed on with indif
ference, and her sisters in enchantment
modestly sought retirement in a rear
room, the door of which was constantly
closed. A second glance at this centre
of attraction developed a large featured
wornaD and a muscular, with a shock
head, the wool of which had been turned
aud twisted into a faint resemblance to a
modern fashionable coiffeur. It conveyed
unpleasant suggestions of a dark brown
ish-gray calico dress, a garment with
which Colgate or brown bar were wholly
unacquainted, and one which, not to use
too strong an expression, reeked with the
epidemic exudation of its proprietress. A
quadroon woman, petite in figure, with
a bright face and apparently inexbausti
ble supply of vitality, and who wandered
about barefooted, in a white sack and
skirt, appeared to be the queen’s chief
maid of honor. The mistress of the
robes in this palace of Fetishdom is a
grieff, aud three slender men of wonder
ful activity, but an intellectual develop
ment that would have scarcely been pro
nounced topheavy by Dr, Fowler, made
up the royal party.
Stretched on the floor in the middle of
the room was a sheet, the comers of
which were ornamented by bouquets in
China vases. At each side and end be
tween the bouquets stood a lighted can
dle, and in the centre a great nougat
pyramid. The latteral intervals were
further furnished with plates containing
cake and bonbons, and bottles of rnior-
que, whisky, brandy, vinegar and water.
Squatted around with their backs to the
wall sat a row of negroes and negresses,
one aged matron in a blue cottonade
dress and great bandana head handker
chief appearing to be a superior, as she
occasionally nodded her approval of
everything which transpired. For the
first half hour, three men and as many
women (the queen among them) moved
to and fro in a monotonous swaying
dance, shoving their feet, which were
never lifted from the floor, ai* inch or
two at a time, and twisting the muscles
of the legs, arms and body into number
less contortions. Accompanying them
selves in an unintelligible chant as
dreary as their motions, they glided,
rather than danced, backward and for
ward, occasionally moving entirely
around the decorated square formed by
the sheet and its furniture. This con
tinued probably three-quarters of an
hour, until, in fact, an unmistakable
yawn upon many faces betrayed lack of
appreciation in the audience, when
the chant changed to a discord
more rapid and grotesque. The move
ments of the entire party were accele
rated, the men indulging at intervals in
a harsh growl which more resembled the
bark of a dog than human utterances.
The group seemed suddenly to become
excited; their contortions increased:
they clung to each other in a state
of semi-frenzy, and or>e woman reeling
over apparently in an epileptic fit fell to
the floor. She was speedily revived and
the dance continued faster and more furi
ous than ever. There was the time ip
quondam days when men apfl women
both stripped themselves to a state of
nudity, but the custom has been discon-
tinqed, incantation being restricted to
the borders of decency. When, in the
opinion of all present, this muscular
struggle had reached its climax, the men
of the party took up the statin. Seiz
ing a bottle of mayorka, one of them
distributed plentifully over the room,
sprjnkiing it upon(the company, until
the suffocating atmosphere was redolent
with its pungent odor. Seizing a lighted
caudle with his forefinger ana thumb,
the frantic man Lsld the lighted flame
in the p&Vm of his hand until it became
extinguished by his rapid movements.
Another was supplied by one of the
women, also extinguished, and tha furi
ous motion continued until ail had been
extinguished and relighted.
By this time he closed his eyes, pro
truded his head, and, hissing like a snake,
moved about like a * ladman. Circling
the entire apartment, he seised each
spectator by two hands, and giving them
a nervous shake, dropped them to clasp
thc^Je of another. This continued until
every person in the room had beep visit
ed, and returning to the s^eet, he re
sumed his dance. Tfle voudou queen in
the meantime visited each with a
small grass snake, which, resting in an
ordinary work-basket, stretched opt its
head in recognition to all before whom
she stopped.
After the dan*»e Pad continued until
nature seemed exhausted, was inaugu
rated the bestowal of charms. The same
man who appeared to be master of cere
monies commenced on a prominent gen
tleman a series of manipulations similar
to those practiced by mesmerists, moving
his fingers from the face down the body
to the feet. He then clasped both hi«
hands and embraced him. placing his head
first on one side and then on the other
several times. SwallowiDg a mouthful of
liquid from one pf the bottles, he squirted
it over the victim’s entire fpce antibody,
continuing the manipulations. Another
gentleman, after going through the same
process, was taken bodily upon the back
of the operator and borne aroupd the
room, the bearer of the burden muttering
in broken English “Jupiter, the king of
thunder givi- you a long life.” Probably
a doaen in all underwent these charms,
many believing firmly in their efficiency.
The work was still ip enthusiastic pro
gress when the writer hereof left, but at
half-past three o’clock in the morning,
with a long day’s work in the immediate
prospective the most o^pult sciences be
come tedious, apd without giving further
study to the subject this deponent incon
tinently departed.
