GOAJIRAS OF VENEZUELA.
Their Custom of “Payment ot Blood."
Compensation for Accidents.
The Goajira Indians live on a penin¬
sula of the same name, which forms the
extreme northwestern part of Venezuela.
They remain in almost pristine simplicity,
owing to their antipathy to the whites.
British Consul Plumacher of Maracaibo,
however, has been able to obtain some in¬
formation respecting their customs and
arts.
It is well known that revenge is a uni¬
versal custom and duty among savages.
If a man bo hurt or killed, his family,
clan, gens, totem, or tribe must take up
the quarrel, and demand blood money or
payment in kind.
The Goajiras carry this rule still far¬
ther. Mr. Plumacher asserts that if a
man accidentally wound himself, break
a limb, or meet with any similar acci¬
dent, his mother’s family immediately
demand of him the “payment of blood.”
This is on the theory that, as his life is
not his own but theirs, he has no right
to impair it without making compensa¬
tion.
The relatives of the father also claim
the payment of their “tears,” which is
of less value. This difference of the
child’s relationship to father and mother
is a well known fact among the lowest
savages. Even the friends who have
witnessed the accident are entitled to
compensation for the grief into which
they are plunged at seeing their com¬
panion suffer. The amount of the pay¬
ment depends on the character of the in¬
jury. A trifling cut of the finger calls
for a little corn, a kid, or sometliing of
equal value, and, if the matter is more
serious, nothing less than a goat or a
sheep, or perhaps a cow, can assuage the
sorrow of the sympathizing relatives.
If the injured party is too poor to
satisfy these demands, he must go beg¬
ging from hut to hut, and no one will re¬
fuse to contribute his mite to assist in the
performance of this recognized duty. If
an Indian borrows a horse from his
friend, and is thrown, or in any way in¬
jured, his relatives demand compensa¬
tion from tlie owner of the animal, alleg¬
ing that the accident could not have hap¬
pened had he not lent it. In case a per¬
son is injured by his own animal, ho
himself must compensate his relatives
accordingly.
The seller of an article is responsible
for its use, and for this reason traders in
rum go strongly armed among the Goaji¬
ras. If a person should be wounded or
lose his life while attemptiug to kill an¬
other. the victim must pay “blood and
tear” money, as if he had been aggressor.
Should a child die in the alrsence of one
of its parents, the one who was present
can demand from tho other payment for
the tears supposed to be shed over the oc¬
currence.—O. T. Mason in The Epoch.
How Music Plates Are Prepared.
Music is not published iiko a book,
with typo or stereotyped plates, for there
are so few fonts of musical type in ex¬
istence that it would not pay to try this
method. A musical font is very expen¬
sive, as so many little points and marks
have to be used in a sheet of music that
it would not be worth while keeping
them where a great deal of music is pub¬
lished. Besides, such a person as a mu¬
sical compositor is scarce.
The way publishers do is to take a
smooth lead plate and have a skilled
workman etch and then route each note
and line after the copy furnished him. A
solid black proof, with the music white,
of course, is taken from the plate and
read. The corrections are made by fill¬
ing up the holes in the plate with metal.
Then the lines and marks made by tho
etching are filled with wax and an ink
roller is passed over the plate; a rag is
used to nib off tho ink. It takes off the
ink from the smooth metal, but leaves it
on the beeswax, which absorbs tho ink.
Then an impression on damp paper is
taken, and, of course, only the wax spots
are black. This gives the musical page
sold by dealers as a song. The process
of printing is slow, as it is by hand press.
If a large number is desired an impres¬
sion of tho plate is taken with transfer
ink and put on a lithographing stone,
when lithograph copies arc printed.—
Globe-Democrat.
Paper can be compress^ so hard that
it will tear a chisel into pieces if the latter
is held against it.

HENRY COUNTY POLITICS,
prohibition to be the issue in
THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
The Probable Opposing Candidates
the Legislature -- Judge
Stewart’s Showing.
A jipteiul froui McDonough,
the 7tb inst., says :
Politics in this county is begin
ning to assume definite shape. For
a number of years Henry county
hae been enjoying the fruits of pro
bibition, but there has been all
time an undercurrent
striving to gain enough
to join issue with the prohibition
party. Personal liberty has
its way to the surface. On the
of our little town prominent men
talk about local government,
rm-ut of personal rights, etc.
denounce the prohibition law of
county as a fraud ; others claim
that it has been ruinous to country
people, <>r.d that it has taken
ky from the towns and placed blind
tigers in the country. As the
stands, it would require an act
the legislature to give the people
ebance to vote on this question*
therefore the issue for
tive will be wet or dry.
Dr. I. L. Gunifr will make
race for the wet side. Dr. GuDter is
a prominent Baptist preacher, and
enjoys the largest practice of any
physician in the country. He hates
the'revenue law in all of its ways
and is not averse to his fellow citi
zeris taking a drink when they want
it. It is not known as yet who ibe
dry side will pnt up. Colonel Thom
ub B Harwell, of this town, will
solicited by many of the best citizens
of the county to make tho race. Col
Harwell has gained much promi
nence during the short lime that he
has been practicing law at the Me
Donough bar. He has won an envia
ble reputation. He represents
young democracy of the county and
is an orator of uo small dimen
sions.
Every inch of ground will be strong
ly contested by both sides. It will
no doubt be one of the most
contests liemy county has ever
perienced. Wo have beard of
littlo_ oppositiou to Judge Stewart
for congress. It would be
for any man in the district to
this county will him unless the
peal of the revenue law should be
come a national issue. Ir. that
things would take a different course.
The county would go for a full
peal by an overwhelming majority.
