A Voudou Orgie.
1 lie Celebration of St. Ji lin's live by tlio
Heathen Negroes of Southern l.miislana
N. O. Picayune, 25th |
As already mentioned in Thursday
morning’s Picayune, Voudouism hero
is slowly passing away, yet still enough
votaries are found to make times rath
er lively at the Lake End, and to give
an exhibition, to say the least, both
curious and disgusting.
Leaving the city proper at a late hour,
and arriving toward the lake on thcold
Bayou St. John shell road, our repoitre
was informed thht“the ceremonies” of
this year were to tako place at the lake,
and falling into a line of vehicles, a
quick trip was made to where the black,
sluggish waters of the bayou empty in
to Lake Pontchartrain. Here had as
sembled quite a party, numbering
some hundred in all, who proposed to
liavo a picnic, but the mosquitoes be
ing a little too numerous, they were
about breaking up, disgusted with the
eve of St. John’s and its appropriate
ceremonies.
Beyond these, however, were scat
tered along tlio luko shore numerous
parties professing to be engaged in
picnicing, and who passed away the
night dancing and singing.
At the Lake End proper matters ap
peared oven duller than here, but after
»long search it was elicited that the
Voudou dance would tako place in a
house selected for the purpose, away
out in the lake and completely over the
water.
Hero were assembled some twenty-
five colored men and women, with
closed doors and windows,who were en
gaged in some sort of dance.
After a considerable parley, the dig
nity of tlio Queen was so far modified
as to agree that a certain number of
spectators should bo admitted to the
dance, on their agreeing to pay a small
fee, 1 and be implicit in obeying her in
structions and those of a sort of major
domo, who presided over the festivi
ties.
Arrangements having been settled,the
spectators were mysteriously ushered
into a large room curiously arranged.
A large white sheet was laid in the
middle of the floor, in the centre of
which was a pyramid, some five feet
in height, of some kind of candy.
Around this, in four separate piles,
were fruit and flowers, and at each cor
ner of the sheet were four bottles con
taining perfumed water. Candles stuck
in small glass candlesticks were placed
at intervals on tlio sheet. On tlio top
of the pyramid mentioned was a small
covered hasketof paimeto,which was said
to contain tlio voudou. At each corner
of the sheet, and on tao sides, were
seated alternately a man and woman,
while in a corner on a box was the
“Queen,” an immense “gombo” negro
woman.
On ono side of her were ten men,
lenders of the ceremonies. One of these
arranged the spectators who had been
admitted. Causing all to seat them
selves on the floor, he stated that it was
necessary to hold their hands out in
front of them and keep perfectly
silent.
This having been done, at a given
signal the men and women seated
around tlio sheet began a low, monoto
nous chant, clapping their hands aud
striking tlio floor alternately. This was
kept lip some half an hour, when three
oflthe men and two of the women rose
up and commenced to dance aroud
the sheet.' Suddenly, at a signal from
the “boss woman,” one of the men took
up one of tlio bottles, nnd after
sprinkling the four corners of the room
and each one of the spectators, drank
a portion of its contents. IIo was imme
diately seized with a sort of convulsion,
laughed,screamed,foamed at the mouth,
and leaped backwards and forwards
on the floor like a demon. One of the
women then took .a candle nnd passed
it over his body liko a mestnerizer,
when lie fell to the floor as if in a fit.
He was lifted up, and shouting “In
voudou, la voudou,” and the spectators
were informed that he was bewitched.
The Queen then ordered hint to go
round and shake.hands with every ono,
which lie did, rolling lys eyes, and
shouting.
In the meanwhile the singing and
pounding on tlio floor had grown louder
nnd louder, and was perfectly deafen
ing ; the closed room was excessively
warm and most of the spectators had
reached flic fainting point, when, with
a piercing yell from the whole asseni-
bty, the man bewitched seized I lie small
basket, and opening it, drew out n
small gartersnake, which ho passed
around his neck and over his bend,
loamingattlio mouth and leaping about
—tlio others rising and dancing.
Another yell from the voudous loud
er than before, a grand shriek and at
another signal the lights were put out,
the snake’s head was solemnly pulled,
oft’ and thus ended tlio ceremony. The
dovil, or fetish, being supposed to have
been in the snake, and being thus killed
ho was got rid of and his worshipers
were free.
It was daybreak, the sun was just
rising, and cast its rays over the wa
ters of the lako as the party broke up,
satisfied with having in a Christian
cornery at least spent ono night in
heathenness.
Presidential Pool-Selling.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Star has this piece of
information:
Some of the gentlemen in ono of the
principal social clubs in this city have
organized a pool-selling meeting on po
litical candidates for once a week until
the Presidential nominations tako place.
I was present at the last meeting, nnd
it will bo seen from the betting how
these people look at the chances of tlio
many political candidates. For the
Republican Presidential nomination
the following names are entered:
Grant, Blaine, Washburne, Wilson,
Bristow, Butler, Jewell, Conkling, Lo
gan, Morton, Fish, Judge Miller, Haw
ley and Governor Noyes. Fifty-four
pools have been sold up to date, with
tho following result:
Sevemcen, in which Blaine is elect
ed as first choice; thirteen, in which
Washburne is first; ten, in which Bris
tow comes to the front; five, in which
Morton leads off; three, where Grant
has tho call; the same number in
which Wilson is first, and three in
which Logan is the leader. Tho others
are all bunched in tho field. It will
bo seon by this that Blaine, Washburne
and Bristow are the favorites, and that
there are still some who believe in a
third term. It is said that Col. Brooks,
the editor of Grant’s organ hold the
three Grant pools, and is also iu many
of the others with Grant as second or
third choice.
On the Democratic prospects the fol
lowing entries arc made: Hendricks,
Judge Davis, Tildon Thurman, Old Bill
Allen, Bayard, Seymour, Church, Gov
ernor Gaston, Charles Francis Adams
and Pcudleton. In all the pools told,
excepting seven, Hendricks was the
choice, with Tildcn, Bayard and AdamB
competing for second choice. In the
seven pools carried against Hendricks,
Judge Davis was tho choice in two, Til-
den in one, Old Bill Allen in three, and
Bayard in one.
On tho fall elections in Ohio and Penn
sylvania the Democracy were the favor
ites, at slight odds on the former, nnd on
tlio latter tho betting was even np.
A bet of five hundred dollars even
was made that if Noyes beats Old Bill
Allen for Governor in Ohio, next fall,
he will be tho Republican candidate for
Vice President, nnd the Republicans will
carry the Presidential election.

Atlanta Herald■ Mys. Wilson, nee
Miss Augusta J. Evans, tho distin
guished Southern authoress, together
with her husband, Mr. L. M. Wilson,
and her step-daughter, Miss Fannie
Wilson, passed through Atlanta yester
day, en route for their home in Mobile.
Mrs. Wilson has been North after her
daughter, who has just graduated, and
for tho further purposo of seeing her
publishers, Messrs. G. W. Carlton &
Co., relative to tho publication of a
noyol which she has just completed—
having finished the concluding chapter
whilo stopping over a few minutes at
Niagara Falls, only a few days ago.
Tho novel, as yet, has not been named,
but will be revised and placed in tho
hands of the publishers in timo for tho
Fall trade. It is possiblo that this
may be. tho last work of this famous
authoress, as her husband is somewhat
averso to her writing any more. Yet
we opine there is a charm and fasci
nation about writing novels, especially
to ono who has been so eminently
successful as tho authoress in question,
that tho temptation to continue can
hardly be resisted. Thenagain, theSouth
can ill afford to lose from her slim roll
of the literals one so pre-eminent as Au
gusta J. Evnns.
The Business Future:
New York Horalil, June 28 ]
There aro those who contend, and
not unreasonably, that tho country is
not in a better condition now than it
line been for many months; that trade
is dull; a long, hot summer is boforo
us, and there is nothing especially en
couraging in our present commercial
surroundings. This view may be par
tially true, but it is offset by so many
practical facts the weight of testimony
is in favor of the class who look upon
the future hopeful.
1. The most encouraging reports have
been received concerning tho crops in
all portions of the country. Cotton is
in fine condition; wheat and corn
are flourishing; tho fruit and vegeta
ble crops are unusually abundant;
sugar and rice aro said to be looking
well, and there is a prospect of a good
market abroad. Under such promising
conditions the country will surely not
go backward. With good crops there
ohould be a general business revival.
2. The price of labor is being grad
ually reduced, thus enabling the man
ufacturer to supply his products at
lower rates. Cheap food and cheap
manufactures lessen the cost of living
and thus solve one of the disturbing
problems of the day ; for by the equal
ization of tho earning and producing
powers a cause of discontent is re
moved.
3. Money is abundant—too abund
ant, in fact—and too much confined to
tho financial centers. But we have
passed through the worst of our dan
gers, and, although confidence is a
plant of slow growth, when it blooms
again it will be to give a vitality to new
enterprises, put in activo use our idle
capital, encourage investment in what
ever is cheap and possibly fruitful, and
so start the country afresh upon its for
ward march. _
A Mental Album.
Col. Randall, the distinguished dillc-
luntc of tho Augusta Constitulionalut,
has seen a mental album, in which,
opposite to the question, “ Who is your
favorite character in fiction?” Alex.
Stephens was written “ Rebecca,
the Jewess!” Opposite to the same
question Herschel V. Johnson has writ
ten, “ I know nothing of fiction.” At
which tho editor wonders how a
Swedenhergiun should not bo a lover
of fiction and of figurative writing.
He says that Gen. Toombs is no
reader of fiction. He says of him:
“ In Gen. Toombs’ case, we opine, he
has missed much by noglect of lighter
literature. His fund of illustration,
already large, would have been copious
beyond measure had ho been less ad
dicted to Gradgrind facts.”
Of B. H. Hill he says: “ We are
not so sure about Mr. Hill ns a reader
or lover of romance, but aro inclined to
think that ho has cultivated a moderate
taste for what is classic and renowned
in fiction. Traces of this are betiayed in
his speeches and writings, and many of
his strongest shafts of argument are
barbed all the more victoriously with
the wit of others, captured and made
original by proper application.”
He thinks Mr. Stephens has taken
facts and fiction in proper doses, and
says of him: “ However he may fall
short of Judge Johnson or General
Toombs in some particulars, he yields
to no living man in sagacity, foresight,
prescience or seorship; indeed, as a
prophet of events he, perhaps, is une-
qualed in tho wholo world.”—Atlanta
Herald.
Manufacturing in Columbus:
Considering what she lost by Wil
son’s raid, some twenty-five million of
dollars, Columbus has made more per
manent improvements than any city in
Georgia. The only other city that lost
heavily in Georgia is Atlanta, and sho
has recoived benefits from the entiro
State. Columbus, unaided and alone,
hasr ebuilt mandatories which now run
35,000 spindles and 2,500 looms. The
spirit of enterprise is still rife in the
city. In two years or less a very largo
establishment will be erected on the site
of the burned Palace Mills.
We have mentioned tho fact that a
company had been formed to manufac
ture clothing, and would probably em
ploy seventy-five females. Another
company has been formed to manu
facture shirts of the finest material.
Tho last will employ thirty-five females,
also under tho superintendence of cut
ters. These two companies aro expected
in a short timctobcunder full headway.
They will give better and cheaper arti
cles than tho North and extend to the
same timo. Such enterprises aro the
salvation of tho South. She retains
her money at home and gets better ar
ticles, at the same time they give em
ployment to hundreds of females nnd
children.
By the increase of such industries
can Columbus become great and pros
perous, and in solid improvements not
a placo in Georgia has equalled ours
since tho war,—Nun. 20lh
A correspondence of the Atlanta
Herald who has seen him, says that,
“physiognomically, there is nothing
anout Oliver Wendell Holmes to indi
cate the possession of power.” Tho
doctor is “a small, dapper gentlemen,
with a small head perched upon small
shoulders. Down about Atlanta no man
is considered much of an intellect un
less he is seven feet high and has a
voice like a littlo Niagara.— Courier-
Journal.

is not truly Independent. To be merely partisan
is descending to a level of subserviency THE
COURIER will never sloop to. Fealty to
the Demooratio party is based on the principle
that tho Democratic party shall be true to tho
People—that the machinery of its organization
shall be controlled by the people, and not by
trioksters and office-seekers who may desire to
use it for selfish purposes and for the promotion
of the aspirations and intrigues of rings and
cliques.
AS A NEW ,PAPER,
THE COURIER will be found equal to that ol
any journal In tho Btate with the same advan
tages os to its location and field of labor. No
pains will be spared to collate such i ecord ol
passing events as to give its retders a general
idea of tho enrrent news of tho day, and to keep
them posted on all matters affecting their rights
and interest!.
AS A FAMILY JOURNAL.
THE COURIER will contain every week ■elec
tions from literary writers ae will make it a
favorite in the family circle. Short stories end
humorous paragraphs will be found in each
number ae a diversion to the general reader.
THE MAMMOTH WEEKLY.
This is a large and well-filled paper of thirty-
two columns — not more than seven or eight
columns being given to advertisements. This it
made up from the tri-weekly editloas, which,
when put together, presents a larga mass oi the
choicest reading—politics, the nows, literature
and local intelligonoo—giving each woek tw. n-
ty-four or twenty-fito columns of solid reeding.
The Weekly is especially a fitet-class journal.
To tike I?iYblic.
With an increaao to Its already large circula
tion, we hope to make THE COURIER come up
to the highest standard of journalism, and to
make it popular among the people everywhere.
Therefore, wo hope our frionds will speak a good
word to thoir neighbors for THE COURIER
whenever they otn consistently do so.
