CURSED WITH EVIL EYE.
TB S 6UPER3TITION CONCERNING
the malignant glance.
In AH Lands the Absurd Belief Holds
gw . B y_yuch of It Attributed to Un
recognized Hypnotic Force—lt Was
Supposed That the Optic of a Dead
Man Shone In the Head of a Living
Person— Even Pope Plus IX. Was Not
Exempt From Suspicion.
From the Chicago Timet.
There is no superstitious belief of the hu
n-an race which is so widely held as the
belief in the existence and malevolent power
of the evil eye. It is everywhere known,
and finds a place in the folk-lore of all na
tions. The apparent cause is always the
same— that power of fascination by the
human eye, which is now known as hypnot
ic force, which a primitive age could imag
ine to be nothing but a demon residing in
and speaking from the human eye. So forci
ble did this thought seem to the mind of the
a DC ients that the eye and the soul were con
vertible terms in ancient magic. Even in
this da? °f advanced human knowledge
there are many things connected with the
influence of mind upon mind that are not
fully understood, hence it is no wonder that
they proved the possession of demoniac
powers to the mind of him who attributed
everything which he could not understand
ta seine supernatural agency. If the thing
eras not only mysterious but bewildering
tne first thought was to attribute it to
diabolism of some kind. If the influence
4ent so far as to control the will of another,
then it became witchcraft, and the one ex
ercising it was a witch.
Take the ordinary phenomena known
years ago as mesmerism or animal magnet
ism. and now known as hypnotism. It ia a
mistake to suppose, as many do, that they
are anew thing in human progress. The
ancients bad not reduced them to a science,
but there were men in the days of old who
had, as men have now, In a high degree
what is known as the magnetic power.
There were men then, as now, who could
bend the will of others to their own and
make them mere puppets to do their will.
This power was a mystery to them,'as it is
to us. and they labored under the disadvan
tage of Laving theories about the super
natural which made it impossible for them
to arrive at a true conclusion.
THE GLEAMING EYE OK THE DEAD.
Everywhere was the belief that the souls
of the dead could enter into and animate
the living. Their essence was considered as
controlling those into whom they entered,
and the sign of their presence was the glit
tering eye, something like that with which
the ancient mariner holds "the wedding
guest” in Coleridge’s “Kime.” These glit
tering eyes, in the great or the small, were
oourittd as the sure marks of an indwelling
presence. In the great it was divine; in the
mean it was a sure sign of an evil eye, or, in
other words, a demoniac possession. In
like manner the glitter in the eyes of the
good indicated the possession of beneficent
virtues, while the same glitter in the eyes of
the malevolent indicated malefloent diabo
lism, The key to the theory is the poses
sion of that power known as fascination,
whereby a mere look inakee one man ready
to do the will of another instead of his own.
This power in the eye in all folk-lore is at
tributed to either souls or demons, which
are supposed to swarm around us in almost
infinite numbers. These souls are every
where, and a large proportion of them are
not only supposed to be malevolent, but to
be possessed of considerable power for
w< rking ill to those who offend them.
According to the Talmudic legend Mother
Earth takes up the dead, but the souls re
vive in her life-giving bosom. They are an
essence without form, but having power to
emer into the being of living men. If the
soul has been evil it has naturally an evil
fire which it has caught in snoel—that is,
hades. In order to get rid of this fire tbe
Angel Gabriel is supposed to wash all such
souls by rinsing them three times in deep
est ocean, but the souls are so many that
s imo escape, and some are so dirty that
even the thrice washing does not get them
clean. Theirs is the evil eye that may be met
at any time, and it is to be guarded against
constantly. Of course, the heathen legend
which gives the process of the production
of the evil eye differs considerably from
the Talmudic, but the outcome is the same,
ami can well be omitted here. The eye
is the same and operates in much the same
way.
THE WOMAN, AS USUAL, CATCHES IT.
We will now suppose that the malevolent
soul has escaped to earth and has entered
into the being of some man. The eye of
the man possessed becomes a mere peep
hole, through which the possession soul
looks out at passers-by. Whoever i t hus
looked at and has not taken the proper
pti cautions sickens or comes into mis
fortune.
As these souls can enter into any manor
woman who has not taken the necessary
precautions, the evil eye can be in the beau
tiful as well ns trie ugly, and may even use
the beauty for the better working of its
bad purposes. It Is counted advisable not
toeat in the presence of a woman, say the
''-incali, for the evil eye, if cast by a woman,
is far more dangerous than if cast by a
man.
The folk-lore tales are full of stories about
the operation of the evil eye and of recipes
for defense against its power. A large pro
portion of these are connected with the use
of fire or the color of red, that being in all
iriagic the equivalent of Are. This supposed
value arises from the old worship of the sun
or from the hatred which all evil things are
tbougnt to have of the fire wnich is to con
sume them in the pit of woe. A red string
tbout the neck or arm is the most ordinary
Wvice, but red berries as of the ‘’rowan
tree,” or mountain ash, are still more highly
prized. Among the Scandinavian nations,
the Scotch, and particularly with the gyp
sies, the rowan tree bas a standing of its
hwu, apart from its use in connection with
he evil eye. That special meaning reaches
Mck to the old pagan faith and need not be
considered here. In Italy, and among the
Latin races generally, the horseshoe, or its
equivalent, is chiefly relied upon to counter
acl the influence of the evil eye. If a horse
hoe is not at hand a forked twig, or even
6 lingers of the hand parted, is counted of
K? at value. Avery amusing instance of
his credulity, un done that has become his
ncal, will Rerve to show the ease with
hich the reputation of having the evil
Jfnay t.e given and the impossibility of
l,ing rid of it.

A ‘ a - /r, g a good many nations what the
Scotch call “forespeaking” is regarded as a
sura sign that that person has an' evil eye,
and is, therefore, to be ca efuily avoided.
To forespeak is to praise any person or
thing extravagantly. In Upper Carniola if
you try to please by praising everything
you would only succeed in convincing peo
ple that you were very bed indeed. The
same is true of the Neapolitans and in sev
eral others of the Italian p.-ovinoes. This
idea, like the other, dates back to old heathen
beliefs, for tbe ancients taught that extrava
gant praise was a proof that tbe person giv
ing it was a despised enemy of the gods
and in league with the powers of evIL Ac
cordingly in Southern Europe, where the
Homan heathen worship has left its most
numerous marks, it has even proved dan
gerous for travelers to gaze intently at little
children or t > praise them strongly. O.u
seeing such an act by a foreigner tbe anx
ious mother spits in the child’s face to
counteract tbe spell. Sacha gaze directed
to tbe woman herself ia just as much re
sented, aQd often the woman will spit in
her own bosom, if she does not show h -r in
dignation by other methods, of which a
good, tound cursing is one of the regular
forme.
No doubt all of this seems to the readers
of the Times “a good deal ridiculous,” but
it has left its marks on the civilization of
the world and even upon ours. For instance,
the next time you see a red light or a red
flag at a railroad station, please remember
that the adoptiou of red as a danger signal
is primarily owing to the very odd belief in
the evil eye.
GEORGIA LAWYERS.
Chief Justice L. E. Bleckley's ‘‘Letter
to Posterity.” •
From the New York Tribune.
The Oreen Bag for February is largely
occupied with the sayings and doings of one
of the most pioturesque figures in American
judicial life. Chief Justice L. E. Bleckley
of Georgia contributes to the magazine an
autobiographical “Letter to Posterity,” and
a portrait of J udge Bleckley is prefixed to
the article. Walter B. Hill of Macou, in the
second article on the supreme court of Geor
gia, ia the same number, also devotes sev
eral pages to the wise and witty sayings of
Chief Justice Bleckley. Judge Bleckley’s
portrait shows him to be a broad-shouldered
and vigorous elderly gentleman with a long
white beard, and equally long dark hair
resting on his shouldera Oyer deep-set eyes
are shaggy eyebrows and a high expause of
forehead. He is 05 years old, and
has twice held tbe office of supreme court
justice. Alter eervlng from 1875 to 1880 as
a justice of the supreme court he resigned
and remained in private life until January,
1887, when he was chosen chief justice. The
most interesting fact about Judge Bleckley
is that be endeavors to relieve his opinions
from the ordinary dullness by witty ex
pressions, curious phrases and occasional
poetic quotations. He has a theory that
judicial opinions might well be terse, crisp,
graceful, animated and entertaining; and
many of his opinions show that be carries
out his theory in practice. When he re
signed his office of justioe of the supreme
court in 1880 he read from the bench as his
last act a short poem entitled, “In tbe Mat
ter of Best.” The last stanza beginning,
“Peace and rest, Are they best For mortals
here below?'’ Isa model of terse aud thought
ful poetic expression.
Judge Bleckley, in his "Letter-to Pos
terity,” regrets that he never will meet those
whom he addresses, and, while claiming no
right to the notice of posterity, proceeds to
inform future generations as to certain of
his beliefs and facts of his history. Some of
his statements concerning the duty of a
judge are decidedly entertaining. Ho says:
“To administer law, it is desirable, although
not always necessary, to know it. In its
effect upon the deciding faculty, the appre
hension of ignorance counts for as much as
ignorance itself. My mind is slow to em
brace a firm faith in its supposed knowledge.
However ignorsnt a judge may be, when
ever he thoroughly believes he understands
tbe law of his case, he is ready to decide it—
no less ready than if he had the
knowledge which he thinks he has.
And he will often decide correctly, for the
law may be as he supposes, whether he
knows it or not. * * * But my faith iu
the ultimate efficiency of work is unbound
ed. The law is too often unknown, hut
is never unknowable. I finally settle down,
painful dsliberatien ceases, and I doubt no
more, until I cm engaged in writing out
the opinion of the court, when I discover,
perhaps, that the thing is all wrong. My
colloagues are called again to the consulta
tion ; we reconsider tbe case, and decide it
the other way. Then lam satisfied: for
when I know the law is not on one aide, it
must be on the other.” Judge Bleckley
disclaims any great learning, either lay or
legal, but Mr. Hill tells us that his attain
ments in many branches of learning are
great. His chief defect seems to be that he
reasons so minutely and consistently that
it is easier for him to question and doubt
than to decide.
Under the Spell of a Curse.
From the Fort Worth Gazette.
There is a young woman in Bonner
Springs, Kan., who believes she is under
tbe influence of a curse. She is a most es
timable young woman, but some time ago,
while suffering from a nervous attack, she
was accosted by a tramp who came to her
door and begged for something to eat. As
the family had been so bothered with
tramps, she answered him very shortly and
told him to get away from the place, or she
would set the dogs on him. The man in
sisted th&t he wns almost starving, and she
slammed the door in his face.
About an hour later a knock came to tbe
door, and she went there only to And that
the man had returned. This time he did
not ask for food, but, as soon as tbe door
was opened, he began calling down male
dictions on the head of the girl. At first
she was inoliued ts get angry, and started
to call for someone to have the man ar
rested, but as his bitter words continued she
became terribly frightened, and, at last,
fainted, in which condition she was found
by her mother, who bad heard the noise.
The man had disappeared. During the
curse tbe tramp had called down a spirit of
unrest on her. and told ber that he always
wished her to feel hungry and like wander
ing, so that sho would know what it was to
be a poor tramp.
The girl was ill for several days after the
adventure, but is now in apparent good
health. Bbe says that she feels that she is
under a curse. She is restless, and spends
her time walking up and down about tbe
place, and complains of never getting
enough to eat. She eats very little, for her
stomach will not bear it, but she says she
never feels as if she had eaten anything.
Physicians who have been called iu to see
her pronounce it a case of hysterical mania,
and think that it will wear off in the course
of time, if efforts are mado to get the girl’s
mind from tbe tramp. The parents are
making arrangements to send her east to
visit relatives, but tbe girl insists that she
is perfectly well, except that she knows the
tramp’s curse will follow her to her grave.

HOOK SWINGING.
A Brutal Exhibition Which ts Being
Revived iu India.
Madura Letter in Missionary Herald.
Having heard that the old cruel practice
of hook swinging was about to be revived,
after having been abolished for twenty-five
years, the Madura mission directed me to
memorialize tbe Madras government, and
pray it to prohibit this revival. The gov
ernment replied that it would discourage it
iu every w ay. but was not willing to abso
lutely prohibit it. This discouragement
amounted to nothing at atl, and it came off
Jan. 21 in the presence of 10,000 people.
Dr. Van Allen and I went out to see it. for
the sake of being able to give an authentic
account of it.
There are four little villages In the vicin
ity of Solavandan inhabited by the people
of the Keilar or Robber caste. In each
village is a family that has the right of se
lecting two candidates for the operation.
Out of the eight thus chosen one was se
lected by lot, and the lot fell upon a young
man of 23 years, thick-set and muscular,
and rather short of stature.
These people worship the demoness Mari
amman, said to be tbe spirit of a parish
woman, who formerly was attacked by
small-pox and was left to die without as
sjstance. She has now become the patron
of small-pox and cholera, aud is believed to
have the power to send or withhold lain,
and hook swinging is tnought to be a means
of propitiating ber, so as to influence her to
send rain in abundance.
In 1867 this practice was revived, after
having been prohibited for many years.
But, upon representation to Lord Napier at
that time, be again prohibited it; and now,
after twenty-four years, the people, having
learned from the present power that it
would do no more than discourage it, have
revived it again with great eclat.
It is said that, previous to the insertion of
the hooks into the middle of the back, the
muscles and skin are rendered insensible by
slapping and pinching. However that may
be, there is no doubt that arrack was given
to the man at the time. He was brought to
tbe police station with tbe two hooks in
serted back to back, one eaoh side of the
spine. The hooks were not large, and the
flesh taken up by them seemed very little.
The wonderful strength of the muscles in
the back was shown by this performance.
The car consisted of a rough platform on
wheels, supporting a great frame about 10
feet in length and breadth and 15 feet in
bight, the platform itself being 6 feet from
the ground. Up through tbe middle of the
great frame rose a stout circular beam of
great strength, 3 feet above tbe frame, and
on the top of this beam was pivoted the
pole, 60 feet in length, from which the man
hung 35 feet from the ground.
Promptly at 3 o’clock the hooks were in
serted within some building, and the man
came rushing along the street, esoorted by
constables and others, who beat back the
crowd and kept up a vigorous fanning.
After tbe short stay at the police station
they made a great rusn for the oar, which
stood on an adjacent street, and there the
end of the sweep was lowered to receive its
victim. Boon it was carried up again with
the man attached. As he wont up he
clasped his feet and hands together in a
measured way, and this he kept up during
the whole performance. His ankles had
jingles on them that could be heard as
they beat together with a sturdy “ching,
ching.”
Before carrying him up to the greatest
bight tne pole was held horizontally, and
the man was carried around in a complete
circle, swinging around over the tops of the
houses. Then the car was drawn forward
to the first corner, where it was delayed
that a kid might be sacrificed. Once in a
while the man would draw up, with a rope,
plantains and flowers, and throw them
down to the crowd below. In one place
there was a ditch to be crossed, and the
jolt oaused him to soize tho rope that hung
by his side, but with that exception he
seemed to hang entirely by tbe two hooks
in his back. The flesh was gathered up,
showing great tension, and his back was
bent.
After an hour and a quarter the car re
turned to its starting place aud the man
was released. The hooks were not taken
out, but were kept in that they might move
the people to be more liberal in giving
presents to the performer. His pulse was
good and bis condition seemed normal, but
tbe flesh of the back was so drawn up as to
leave deep holes for the hooks. Ho put on
an air of bravado, and even offered to
swing for a second time if a suitable
present should be given. It was only in
tbe evening that the hooks were taken out.
The image of the goddess was carried
around on a wooden bull behind the car,
but the great object was to get money, and
for three months the man can have the
hooks and cord and knife used to show peo
ple and bej for presents.

Maude?”
“They are said to be good for preserving

"I don’t see why you should eat them on

“You think it la unnecessary?”
"Certainly. If they created* beauty it
would be different.”
A few moments later she promised to be
his Maude forever. —New York Press.

CEMENT.
SPECIAL MICE.
I am pleased to announce that my factory,
whicn I have just erected on the Savannah
river, is now in perfect o|>eratton, producing
from twenty to thirty tons per day of th e cvle
brated KINO’S ASBESTOS WINDSOR
CEMENT. DRY MORTAR and FINISH for
plastering walls and oeilings. I am the sole
agent and manufacturer of this material for
Georgia, Florida. South Carolina and Alabama.
Though the Windsor oementhasgiyen thorough
satisfaction wherever it has been used as
directed, and the sales have increased orer 400
Ir cent, in the past year, experience baashown
that it is advisable to insure perfect work by
mixing the cement by machinery ready for
use. By so doing the only thing left to the
ud gment of the man at the mortar bed is the
right quantity of waier, which any plasterer
can determine.
I claim for this material:
- That it makes walls and ceilings more elsstio
than any other material known for plastering.
The asbestos used renders the material a
great protection against tire and deadens sound.
Tne extreme density of the cement renders it
vermin and germ proof.
It is anti-rust.
It will not discolor any material. It is free
from acid.
It is not made by any chemical process, and
no action takes place after setting, which is a
matter of two or three hours only.
h rest or water will not injure the work after
it is once set.
Experience has shown that ceilings well
soaked from any cause will dry out as strong as
ever. Falling ceilings are unknown, and the
plastering will last as long as the building itself.
It can be finished in any way of which
ordinary plastering is capable.
If directions are followed, 1 guarantee all we
claim. Wails and ceilings made from this
material are secoud to none; and, considering
the advantages named, the excess of cost above
lime and hair is a small matter. It is less ex
pensive, than any other patent plaster.
This material is no experiment., and Is indorsed
by the best architects and builders wherever it
has been used.
I shall be pleased to furnish any further In
formation.

ESTABLISHMENT.
The pride of Savannah, the reputation of which having ceased to be local
only, but is national, and its well earned fame is due to unceasing labor
and experience of over thirty years in the Millinery business The corning
Spring Opening will be inaugurated on the most magnificent scale, as no
money nor effort on the part of our European agents have been spared to
make the coming opening
“THE OPENING”
To be remembered. Certainly not any store in the entire south will show
anything to compare, and many novelties introduced here will not be found
in New York even. The most exquisite novelties from Parisian and Lon
don's most celebrated artists in Flowers, Ribbons and Pattern Hats, and
many things that delight ladies of taste and refinement. We are busy
opening goods daily, many direct from Custom House, New York. We
have also made arrangements with distinguished artists to receive weekly
such models in Pattern Hats as are most attractive. In afew days weshall
announce Our Opening Day for the Spring Fair in Millinery 1892.
