The Good Templars of Florida are
flooding that State with circulars asking ,
voters not to sign any dram-shop peti
tions. There is a local option law in that
State, and before there can be an election
in any county or town to test the ques
tion whether the sale of intoxicating liq
uors shall he prohibited, there must be a
petition presented to the proper authori
ties containing a certain per cent, of the
registered voters. The Good Templars
hope to prevent an election in many of
the counties.
“Secession Secrets.”
Some months ago Hon. Jeremiah S.
Black, of Pennsylvania, who was
Buchanan's Attorney General, in an arti
cle entitled “Secession Secrets,” took I
lion. Jefferson Davis to task for avowing ,
his belief that had Fort Sumter been given j
up, no other Southern State would have
followed South Carolina out of the Union.
Judge Black argued that such an act ol
concession would have been an acknowl
*-dement of the right of secession, which
the South would have been prompt to
profit by. He urged further that
Mr. Davis and his associates were cun
ninglv working to this end, and that it
was through his Black's; persuasion
that Buchanan refused to surrender Sum
ter and other Southern forts.
In the Philadelphia Times of Wednes
day Mr. Davis replies to Judge Black in a
three column article, setting forth the
correctness of his charge that timidity
prevented Buchanan from complying
with the request of South Carolina
for the evacuation of Sumter, to
which he was strongly inclined,
since, as Mr. Davis argues, from the
South Carolina statute granting sites for
fortifications by reason of the State’s right
of eminent domain the ground donated
reverted to the commonwealth when the
forts ceased to lie operated tor its defense.
Mr. Davis cites in support of this view the
statutes of other states, and particularly
that of Massachusetts, enacted in I*3o.
Mr. Davis argues that inasmuch as
Sumter, occupied by a Federal
force, was a menace to South
Carolina, the act donating its site
was no longer operative, and as the State
of south Carolina offered to guarantee the
value of Federal property her demand for
it- evacuation was just and legal. Mr.
Davis cites Buchanan's statement to the
South Carolina Commissioners to the
effect that his first promptings, when
Major Anderson left Fort Moultrie and
proceeded to Sumter, were to order that
officer to return to the former, and there
await such orders as might be given him.
Mr. Davis then goes on to argue that,
had the request of South Carolina been
complied with, a ieaccful settlement
would have Item had. To show the ab
surdity that there w as anything sinister in
the demand for evacuation, Mr. Davis
•motes from the remarks of Senator
Douglas, on March 15, I*ol, in support of
such a jiolicy as follows:
"Wr ci-rlamlv cannot justify the holding of
tort- then-, much lcs- the recapturing of those
which have been taken, unless we intend to
r- dnee those States themselves into subjection.
I take it for granted, no man will deny the
proposition, that whoever permanently holds
charleston and south Carolina is entitled to
the lMi-se—ion of Fort Sumter.
"V/e cannot deny that there is a Southern
Confederaev de facto in existence, with its
capital at Montgomery. We may regret it. /
regret it most profoundly; but I cannot deny
the truth of the fart, pai'nffft and mortifying
:i~ it is * * * 1 proclaim 1-oMly the polirv
of those with whom I act. We are for peace.”
Furthermore General Scott and Major
Anderson, the hero ol Sumter, favored
evacuation. Mr. Davis shows that, as
Buchanan admitted the Constitution gave
no power to coerce, and limited the man
ner of assisting in the defense of a State.
There were no Federal officers in South
i arolina to enforce the law s of the United
States, and the.' were practically inoper
ative. The force policy which Black
claims to have primarily promoted, was
in direct contravention of the Constitution
and the laws.
Mr. Davis meets Judge Black on his
own ground of ridicule and invective and
likens him to At tennis Ward as a patriot.
The grim humorist was willii g to sacri
fice his wife's relations for the good of his
country while the doughty Judge was
willing to incur civil war, but was care
ful not to expose himself. Mr. Daviscon
-ltulcs his reply as follows:
“When it shall no longer In- popular to have
instigated aud aided in the prosecution of the
war against the Southern states; when the
-oiicr r-eenml thought of the people shall have
taken an account of the wasted treasury, of
sacrificed lives, of a land saddened ly the
wail of the widow and the orphan, and’last,
but not least, the subversion of those sound
principle-of free government for which the
eoiiutry fought the war of the Revolution, and
to perpetuate which the Union was formed,
then when cousent is the foundation
and fraternitv the cement of our political
-truetiirc. the desires of President Buchanan
towards a peaceful solution of the questions
presented by south Carolina may receive the
reward due to the wisdom and patriotism of
his conciliatory policy. To that better day I
refer the judgment which may be rendered
nion the op|*osife policy of bis liellicose ad
' i-er, whose military laurels were gathered
so far from the field as to l>e unstained by
either the bliss I or the smoke of battle.”
J. H. Woodward, ti tter know n as “Jay
hawker,” who got Judge lloadly, of Ohio,
into trouble by starting a story that
lloadly paid $50,000 for his nomination as
Governor, is charged with having pub
j lished a confidential talk he had with
Joseph Pulitzer, the editor of the New
York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
It seems that Pulitzer and “Jayhawker”
met on a train in Ohio a day or two ago
and Pulitzer talked pretty freely. Among
other things he is reporte-d to have said
that while he had strong hopes of Hoad
ly's success it looked very much as
if he were being butchered in
the house of his friends. Con
tinuing. it is alleged, he said: “Something
ought to lie done to restore harmony. If
the present state of affairs in Ohio is con
tinued there is nothing but defeat in Ohio,
and defeat in Ohio means defeat in New
York, and defeat in New York means the
loss of the Presidency to the Democracy.
There is still a chance for lloadly. If the
Fiiyuirer would turn in even now and
give a vigorous and earnest support to
lloadly he might recover his lost ground
and carry the State. I’m afraid he’s gone,
gone, gone. If I thought it would do any
good I would go to Cincinnati myself and
try to bring about peace between Hoadly
and McLean.”
The conversation appeared in a Cincin
nati paper the day after the meeting be
tween “Jayhawker” and Pulitzer. “Jay
hawker" denies that he published the con
versation. He says a wicked newspa
per man sat behind Pulitzer and him and
heard every word that was sa’d. It seems
curious that those who do not want their
views, opinions and talks published
should have any association with a man
like “Jayhawker.” They know that he
is not only unreliable, but that he would
not hesitate to sacrifice the reputation of
his dearest friend to secure the publica
tion of a sensational article? It is not
improbable that Pulitzer said none of the
things attributed to hint.
Our Tallahassee correspondent says
that quite a number of the counties of
Florida will make splendid exhibits at the
Louisville Exposition. It is a noticeable
fact that at all great expositions of the
country Florida has ranked among the
leading States in the display of her pro
ducts. Her people are shrewd. They
know there is no iietter way to advertise
a State than by such expositions as this
one at Louisville. Florida, without the
natural advantages possessed by some
other Southern States, has, perhaps, en
joyed a greater degree of prosjierity than
any of them. She lias made the best of
what she has, and the result is that she is
rapidly increasing in wealth and popula
tion. Her sand fields are becoming
gardens, and her pine forests are giving
place to orange groves. Florida has set
au example which it would lie well for
some of her neighboring States to follow.
This is the third and last day of the re
union of the survivors of the battle of
Wilson’s Creek, or Oak Hill. The battle
of Wilson's Creek occurred about ten
miles south of Springfield, Mo. It was
the first battle fought in the West. It
preceded Grant's battle at Belmont three
months. Of the distinguished partici
pants Sturgis and Sigel, of the Union side,
and Churchill, Herbert. Pearce and Clark,
of the Confederate side, are living. Na
thaniel Lyon, who was noted for his gal
lantry, was shot dead on the battlefield.
Price and McCulloch are also dead. A few
years more and there will 'be few of the
survivors to meet and talk over the scenes
which occupy a prominent place in the
history of the great civil war.
A man named Birdsall printed a letter
in the Hartford Courant in which he
charged that the Sun assisted in defeating
General Hancock in 1880 by deriding and
abusing him in its editorial columns. The
Sun oj>ens its files and offers a reward of
$5,000 to any one who will find a line in
the Sun's editorials which contains any
thing which contributed to General Han
cock’s defeat. Here is a chance for Bird
sall to make a nice little sum of money
and at the same time prove that he is not
given to making unfounded statements.
Tlie Slate Capitol Bill.
The State capital bill is now a special
order of the House. The State Hoad lease
resolution being out of the way, Jt will
probably be considered at once. The ques
tion of erecting anew capital building
has been discussed several years, there
is no doubt that such a building is needed.
The location has been selected and the
neeessarv ground accepted bv the State.
The only things to be done are to determine
the limit of cost, appropriate the money,
and appoint the commissioners to take
charge of the work. It is just as good
time now to begin the building as it will
be in the near future. It will be urged, per
haps. that the present capital building is
good enough for the present. It is true
that we can get along with it, but what is
the use ol waiting when it is understood
and agreed that there is to l>e anew build
ing. There ought to be no hesitation on
account of the cost. Georgia is not poor.
She is as able as any Southern State,
Texas excepted, to put up a capital build
ing worthy of so great a commonwealth.
The cost will not be felt by the tax-pay
ers. particularly as the appropriations
will be made in installments. It is pro
posed to appropriate a million dollars in
all. That sum will le sufficient for a
magnificent building if economically and
judiciously expended. Of course, great
care will have to be exercised in the se
lection of commissioners. Some men can
accomplish more with one million dollars
than others can w ith two millions. The
men for commissioners are those whose
integrity is unquestioned, and who
know how to spend money
to the best advantage. Successful
business men rather than politicians
should lie selected. If a mistake is made
in choosing commissioners the capital
may cost three millions of dollars instead
of one. The capital at Albany, New York,
is an example of what irresponsible and
incomietent commissioners can accom
plish. More than double the original es
timate of cost has been spent on that
building, and it is not finished yet. There
is no good reason why this bill should not
pass this session. The same reasons
which arc urged against it now will
probably be urged next year and the year
alter. The building is needed and the
State is able to pay for it. These two
points Is-ing settled, there ought to be no
difficulty in agreeing upon minor matters.
Georgia Melons in St. l.onis.
The tilotic-L'emocrat says: “Southern
Missouri has pretty well run the state of
Georgia out of the watermelon market
here, but still the green striped Georgia
variety is the only kind to lie seen. “The
trouble w ith the later receipts of the
Georgia melon was that the fruit was
overripe and soured from the effects of
hot weather while in transit to this
point.”
If true that the melons were overripe
and soured In transit to that point, two
faults are indicated that may be easily re
medied in future shipments. The first lies
at the door of the grower, who should be
careful to pick and ship his melons at
the proper time so that they will arrive at
the market in good condition. The secvmd
is the fault of the transit companies.
Watermelons, whether over or under
ripe, do not sour unless very badly han
dled. If broken or bruised they will sour
in a few hours during hot weather, but
otherwise, remain sound indefinitely.
One way of getting rid of these spoiled
melons, remarks the Democrat , seems to
lie to cut them up in nickel slices, place
the pieces under glass, and sell them to
the little darkeys, newsboys and boot
blacks.
"Native growth melons, however, are
pfttty good, but the price, twenty cents
to half a dollar each, is too higli to bring
al*out an active demand from the
dusky resident around Wildcat chute
and Clabber alley. ‘When melons are
10 cents each.’ said a vender, ‘colored
folks will buy them in preference
to lieefsteak or bacon. Until that time
the melon business will not amount to
much.’ Arkansas cantaloupes go at front
a dime to 35 cents each, the difference in
value all owing to their condition; some
are rotten ripe and others bruised badly.
Choice home-grown sell, according to
size, at from 20 cents to half a dollar
each.”
The Republicans have always claimed
to Is- the friends of the negro. Their pro
testations of friendship are loud and fre
quent. They are particularly friendly as
the season of elections approaches. They
take good care, however, that the negro
vote is carefully looked after while the of
fices are reserved for white men. Last
Monday an election w as held in Kentucky.
Avery respectable and intelligent col
ored man, Rev. J. W. Asbury, ot Bour
bon county, was on the Republican
State ticket for Register of the Land
Office. Did the Republicans give
him their united support? By no means.
In counties which have always been Re
publican. the name of Asbury was
scratched, and badly scratched. Mr. As
bury ran away behind his ticket. M hat
have the negro voters of Kentucky to say
to this? Do they think that the Republi
can party is sincere in its expressions of
friendship? They cannot think so. They
cannot help seeing that the Republicans
have no use for them except to profit by
their votes. How much longer do they
propose to serve a party whleh makes
them no return for their services.
A good many of the grumbling newspa
pers are finding fault with the President
lor taking a trip to the Yellowstone Park.
The President ought to lie all the better
able to discharge the duties ol his high
office by reason of a little rest and recrea
tion. Few people understand how wear
ing the duties of the Chief Executive of
the nation are. It will.do the President
good to get away from the jioliticians and
office-seekers a little while. The trip to
the Yellow stone can hardly have any po
litical significance. The delays on the
way were not long, and little in the line
of politics can Ik? accomplished at the
Park.

But while we have good hope that Ohio,

A Mere Figurehead.
Boston Herald (fnd.).
He (Arthur) has no positive strength
with the people. A campaign in his be
half would be without purpose or enthu

An Old Joke.
Washington Post.
The Ohio Republican leaders are pre
dicting this year as confidently as they
predicted last year “a regular stampede”
of Democrats to their side. The scoters
who aro expected to rise up and get out
of the Democratic party are “the best
elements.” And the joke—a good one,
too —is that they are going to join the
Republicans on account of the “purer
morality” of that party.

In Mr. Secretary Cbatuiler’s haste, after

NORTH CAROLINA PHOSPHATES.
An Important Disco very ill Duplin and
lVndrr (oiiutiea.
Major W. L. Young writes from Ken
ansvilie to the Wilmington i.N. C.) lie
rieir as follows:
“1 have discovered several large beds of
what 1 take to lie phosphate. In one of
the tributary basins of Maxwell swamp,
there are two deposits on the land of Win.
Kornegay. In one of thedeposits it shows
for three hundred yards in the bed of a
ditch. The stones weigh from two to forty
pounds, and are as closely imbedded as
the stones in a paved street:
the crevices and interstices are
filled with soft marine mud. The
phosphate looks and appears to be in
character precisely the same as the kind
dredged up from the bed of the Stono
river, in South Carolina, and is entirely
free from carbonate oi lime. On the land
of George McClammy, but on the other
side,of the divide, in a basin tributary to
Grove Swamp, 1 discovered another de
posit that shows in a branch and ditch
three hundred or four hundred yards.
This deposit is precisely the same in every
respect as that found* on the Maxwell
side. These deposits lack only three
•r four degrees of being horizontal
and the upper end of each of the deposits
is copied by the mioceue formation. At
Kenansville, near the surface, rich speci
mens of phosphate have been found on
David Farrior’s place, and :\bout half
way between this find and Kornegay's,
upon Johnson’s land, there are found at
various points in the ditch banks copro
lites and other forms of phosphate. It is
more than probable that when a proper
examination is made, it will be found that
the Ik-<1 of phosphate will lie continuous
from Kornegay’s to Farrior’s, a distance
of three miles.
“Years ago I found a rich deposit ot
phosphate on the east side of the North
east river, but it being eighteen miles
from the navigable waters of this river, I
said but little about it. I have also found
traces of phosphate at Ben Wethering
ton’s, near the junction of the Gosnen and
the Northeast fiver. A rich specimen has
also been found on the land of J. W.
Davis, on the east side of the river, near
the Wayne line. Avery promising out
crop shows itself on the lands ot It. F.
Williams, two miles east of Bannerman’s,
iu Pender county. The cretaceous
(chalk formation) —Emmons—that runs
diagonally across the two States,
North Carolina and South Caro
lina, seems in reaching Pender and Dup
lin counties to he divided into two
separate and distinct parallel belts, the
continuous one being on the west side of
the river, while the secondary one lies on
the east side of the Northeast river. These
belts are upon the table land, and fre
quently their margins are ten miles apart,
the river flowing ttirough the great basin
between the belts. In South Carolina the
phosphate is found in the serraturesof
the eastern margin of this belt (chalk for
mation), and in Pender and Duplin coun
ties traces of phosphate are found all
along the margins of the two respective
belts. The probabilities are that when
proper search is made phosphate will he
found in great quantities in these two
counties, and perhaps the find will extend
into Wayne and Ix?noir counties.
A FARMER’S TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Farm Hand Gored to Death by a
Furious Hull.
A special from Atlantic Highlands,
N. J., August oth, to the New York World
says that ex-Sheriff Thompson, of Mon
mouth county, N. J., who resides near the
Atlantic Highlands, is the owner of nofcd
cattle stock, which he keeps on his farm,
among them a Derby bull. This animal
has for a long time been a source of great
trouble to the farm hands. At times they
were unable to manage the beast. Last
Saturday morning Richard Canary, for
many years in the employ of the ex-Sher
iff, attempted to drive the bull into
the stable. It turned niton hint,
and, after chasing Canary around the
barnyard, caught him just as he had
reached the fence, the bull's horns enter
ing his left leg below the calf, and ripping
it open up to the hip. At the same time
it hurled Canary Into the air. Another
workman ran up to -help Canary, when
the bull caught him and threw him over
the fence. A third farm hand came to
the rescue with a pitchfork, when the
bull made for him, but he ran the pitch
fork into him, causing the bull to turn
and seek shelter in the stables. Canary
w as picked up and carried into the house,
but died this morning iu great agony.
The deceased was fifty-five years of age,
and will be buried from New Monmouth.

TALLAHASSEE TOPICS.
Real Estate’s 800m —Leon County’s Ex
hibit and Other Notes.
Tallahassee, August 7.—The summer
is usually the dull season, but it is no
longer so with us as in former years.
There is more life and activity in our city
than I have ever known before during the
solstitial period. The one hotel open has
a constant flow of guests equal to that of
winter. Strangers are met every day in
the streets, and nearly every part of the
Union is represented by them. On last
Thursday a family arrived direct from
“merrie England.” One of the party had
been for sometime in correspondence with
our Bureau of Immigration, and from all
he had read about Florida, he came to the
conclusion that it was the land lor him.
In consequence of these arrivals and seve
ral sales that have recently been effected,
the owners of hundreds of surplus acres
can no longer complain of being “land
poor ” for they have now a prospect of
getttn"' a price for their land which will
not tie below its value. Formerly the
planter, in order to pay off accumulating
debts, was compelled to dispose ot
a portion of his real estate below
its real value, often at a great
sacrifice. Now, if stern necessity
requires him to sell, he need not submit to
such a sacrifice. But it is not the strangers
only that gives a lively appearance to our
city. The sound of the hammer and saw
is heard in almost every part. The enter
prising local of the Floridian took the
pains to interview the different master
builders and ascertain the number of
workmen employed by each, and to his
great surprise found that the aggregate
far exceeded that of any previous year.
The roll of carpenters, masons and paint
ers amounts to quite a little array. The
spirit of improvement is rife, and never
before have I seen such a boom in build
ing. This, together with the large num
ber who have gone out of the State to
spend the summer, is prima facie evi
dence of unwonted prosperity.
CITY KEAL ESTATE
has advanced proportionately in value. I
know’ of one lot for which the owner
would have taken S4OO five years ago, and
recently was offered SI,OOO for it, It may
be safe to say that the average value of
city property has increased one hundred
per cent, within the last four vears.
Beautiful for situation as our “Floral
City” is, no more charming place could
be selected for a winter resort, and as
several places changed hands to Northern
visitors last winter, it is reasonable to
suppose that during the coming season
others will follow their example.
Col. Bradford and Major LeßoyD. Ball,
of this county, have tor some months past
been engaged in making an accurate map
of Leon county. As Major Ball has an
abstract of titles to all the lands, his fa
cilities for a work of this kind are supe
rior. Some of the counties in this State
have had such maps prepared by making
appropriations from the county treasury.
In others public-spirited individuals have
raised the necessary funds by subscrip
tion.
Some four or five miles north of Talla
hassee lies that beautiful sheet of water,
Lake Jackson. From three to five miles
wide and about ten miles long, surrounded
by lofty bills, its shores have long bepn a
favorite resort for picnic parties, while
most strangers who visit this section
are sure to drive out there, and from a
high bluff enjoy the beautiful panorama
that presents itself. But so far would
they go and no farther. A sail or a row
over its placid waters was denied them, in
asmuch as no trim little craft could l>e
had for the delightful recreation. Happily
this want is now remedied, and
recently an embryo little fleet of three
staunch yachts has been launched upon
its waters. <)ne of these is a steam launch
about 'la feet in length and capable of car-,
rying fifteen or twenty passengers and
able to make fifteen miles an hour. The
other two are neat little sailing crafts.
Henceforth the visitor will no longer be
compelled to stand and view the landscape
from afar, but swiftly steaming up the
beautiful lake will see the finest portion
of Florida. The next step will l>e to have
more yachts and a neat little hotel, when
the shores ot this beautiful lake will be
come a more favorite resort than ever.
SOME W EEKS AGO A LETTER
from Judge W- T. Duval, ot Wakulla
county, was published in the Floridian
stating that he had discovered gold on his
place in that county. ’While there are
metals in Wakulla, yet all is not gold that
glitters. I have seen some fine specimens
of iron pyrites, or fools' gold, as it is called,
from that section, and whether the Judge’s
gold is this sulphuret or not 1 cannot say,
never having seen his specimens. Some
time since another party from that county
had what he thought was silver ore, aud
thought that he had discovered a bo
nanza, as he said there was plenty
more there of the same sort. It was sent
on to New York to be assayed, and a tre
mendous price was for the assay, but,
alas for human calculations! the suppos
ed silcer turned out to be galena, with
only an intinitcssimal amount of silver in
it—about a half ounce to the ton. That
there are precious metals concealed in
our mother earth here in Florida, there is
no doubt, but that they ex
ist in veins to any extent is
exceedingly problematical. A thorough
geological survey of our State would hot
only do much in'the cause of science, but
develop our hidden resources. Who would
have believed twenty years ago that coal
existed here? And Vet it is the opinion
of some scientists from certain indicia
that at no very great depth can be found
large strata of this carboniferous deposit.
Even here within a mile of Tallahassee
is found soap-stone, slate and other evi
dences of the proximity of coal. Nor is
petroleum wanting. Some ten or twelve
miles from here, petroleum is found on
the surface of a stream in a certain lo
cality.
This is usually regarded as the sickly
season, but the doctors say that it is un
usually healthy tor this time of year. So
far there has been no fatal or serious case
of sickness in our community. The long
hot summer, though, is debilitating, and
many are availing themselves of the
mountains or seaside resorts. St. Teresa,
that was so popular last summer,
again looms up in public fa
vor, and I learn of several
families who are preparing to
go there this week. With a resistant,
steady breeze from the Gulf, an abun
dance of fish, crabs and oysters anti no
mosquitoes, a summer’s residence there is
delightful. Malarial fever is unknown,
and the debilitated system now tones up
to a healthy state in that salubrious loca
tion. Our great drawback is the want
of steamboat transportation from St.
Marks, but as this place is growing in
favor, it is hoped that in another year, the
liresent inconveniences will not exist,
’rom the various newspapers in our
State, if would seem that Florida will
well represented at the great Louisville
Exposition, both in her products and in
the number of visitors.
THE LEON COUNTY EXHIBIT,
now l*cini; prepared, will be shipped some
time this month. Besides Leon, Jackson,
Duval, Alachua, Orange and other coun
ties will have exhibits, and so many and
varied will they be that additional space
has been asked for. Leon countv, that was
awarded the banner for having the
largest exhibit at the State Fair some
years ago, bids fair to be the banner coun
ty again, for, as I before remarked, her
exhibit will be unusually large.
The first bale of new cotton was brought
into R. A. Shine's warehouse to-day, vvas
graded as middling, purchased by Joseph
Cohen at 8 cents, and by him ship ~e d to
T. K. Perkins A Son, Savannah. 1 learn
that in the neighborhood of Ce .itreville
the caterpillar is committing r. a( i havoc
In some fields not a leaf can b e seen and
the damage is such that it is thought that
not more than a half crop will
be made by those who have suf
fered. A few weeks ago but little
feai was felt from tins dreaded enemy of
the planters, and it was expected that for
one year at least we would l*e entirely free
tiom them. But from their ravages com
mitted in tie Centreville neighborhood, it
js now thought that itfwill affect the crop
m this county to some extent. Fortu
nately for our people, cotton is no longer
king witjj them, and many are entirely' in
dependent of his sway. ’ Leon.
Unlucky Children in Madagascar.
, St. Jatne#' Ontette.
It is not generally known that the Suk
halavas of Madagascar are given to in
fanticide. Every child that is unfortunate
enough to enter the world on a Friday is
carried to the nearest wood, laid in a
shallow hole, and left to its fate, Friday
being held in Madagascar, as in many
other countries, to be an unlucky day.
By a very different process of reasoning,
certain children born on Sunday are also
doomed to death by exposure. Sunday
being a lucky day, it is considered that
Sunday’s bairns whose fathers hold high
rank will, if they are allowed to grow up,
become dangerous to their progenitors,
and they are therefore put out of the way
lest trouble should ensue. Twins, too
are killed, and every infant whose birth
has caused the death of its mother is de
stroyed, because, according to the law of
the Sakhalavas. it is a murderer. And
w hen a child is born at midnight it is cus
tomary to place it next day upon a path
by w hich oxen go to water. If the beasts
do not touch it on their way, the infant’s
life is saved; but if a hoof or a hair
brushes it, no matter how lightly, the
child is slain.
