NEGROES WALK INTO A FIERY FURNACE
The prophet craze has struck the ne
groes in Alabaimna. A dispatch says
a most remarkable religious craze has
seized the negroes near Bessemer and the
country intermediate between that rap
idly-growing place and Birmingham.
For some time past an old negro named
Tobias Jackson proclaiming himself as
Daniel the prophet and doing all kinds of
wild singular, and queer things. The dar
kies in this section are ignorant and su
perstitious and Jackson’s actions and
j the great powers with which he claimed
to have been invested awed the simple
minded negroes.
Saturday last he persuaded three
young negro men that they were repre
sentatives of Shadrack, Meshach and
Abednego, the three Hebrew children of
Faith, who entered the fiery furnace of
Nebuchadnezzar of old. He claimed
that the furnace where iron is melted
and cast into all kinds of forms was the
furnace of Nebuchadnezzar, and that
they could enter it and pass though
without the smell of fire. The three ne
groes calling themselves the three chil
dren of Israel, under the influence of
j their new prophet, deliberately entered
J the gate of the cupola of the furnace and i
rushed headlong into the white heat of
the melting iron. I
When they failed , to come out Jackson _ _ !
the prophet proclaimed that he saw
them rising in the air with the smoke of
the furnace, attended by angels, and
j said that they would revisit the earth
next Sunday. The negroes propose to
I . meet at a church next Sunday and pray,
££££*•££££.££
them said, when asked about the mat
tor.
‘I feel jes as sho my boy is in heben
if I’d done beed dar an’ seed him.
“Jackson, de prohet, comman’ him to
walk de fiery furnace an’ he bleedged to
’bey him;”
Eli Pickett, a negro living in Bartow
County, was wounded seriously, while
fighting in the ranks of the* confederate
army, It is said that he made a faith
ful soldier and fought bravely until dis
abled by a wound in the head. Now
his white friends are applying for a pen
sion for him, under the state law grant
ing pension, to wounded confederate
soldiers. V •>' <
Judge Nisbet decided that as the Con- !
stitution of the Confederate states did i
not authorize the enlistment of negroes,
picket could never have legally become
a confederate soldier consequently he
has no rights as such. This may be the
law in the case but if a negro was per
mitted to enlist, and he proved to be a
faithfu l and gallant soldier and a good
citizen since the war? which is stated to
bejthe case with Eli Picket, the legal tech
nicalities should be brushed aside and a ;

RATHER SNAKY.
The following story is rather snaky
but as the Wichita (Kas) Journal pub
lishes it as coming from a reliable source
we will give the readers of the News
the benefit of the doubt.
Mr, Sawyer, with his wife and little
girl, about two years of age, moved to
Oklahoma from Stella. Neb., when the
regular influx took place. Some months
before leaving their home Mrs. Sawyer
was almost frightened to death one
morning to find coiled up in her baby’s
col a huge blacksnake. She was afraid
to kill the snake and too badly fright
ened to pick up the baby, who by this
time was awake and in a sweet, inno
cent way, was patting the ugly reptile
on the head and crowing with babyish
delight at her pretty plaything.
Mrs. Sawyer was surprised to no
tice that the snake, instead of resenting
the advances of the child, seemed to en
joy them, and as the baby continued
the reptile made some soft, purring
noise, not unlike a cat. She however
watched both and backed to the door,
when she screamed out for her husband,
who at once heard her and rushed into
the room. He saw the situation, and
proceeded to snatch the child away
from the snake, which at once crawl
ed out of the cot. Mr. Sawyer was an*
ou3to ^ what the ,„ lng would do ,
and hesitated a few moments to kill the
idtruder, which meanwhile had crawled
back into the cot, manifesting no signs
of fear and apparently looking for the
baby.
Time went on. Tiie snake was not
««-. !-* «*.
became a pet with the family, and when
the more fcoOftloma was made, it aecorix
panied the crowd in a box made especially
for its benefit.
The curious part of the story follows;
A few days ago Mrs. Sawyer was sitting
in front of the house sewing when sho
was distui bed by something tugging at
the bottom of her dress. She looked
down, and there was the snake with the
hem of her garment in his mouth, re
treating toward the rear of the tent.
Mrs. Sawyer tried to shake it off, but
was unable to do so, and becoming
alarmed and thinking the reptile meant
harm, she rushed to the rear of the lot
where she supposed her husband to be v
He, however, was not there, but on
hearing a cry she rushed to a pit about
twelve feet deep, dug as a depository
for sewerage. She looked down and saw
her liUle girl there, having fallen in
while at play.
The little girl was taken out unharmed
and now the snai^e is a greater pet than
ever in the family, as both Mr. and Mrs.
Sawyer firmly believe that the sagacioua
reptile had instinct enough to tell them
that the litttle one was in “J*
had taken the means described to i Jtvt>
the child’s parents of the accident that
had happened to their little one.
Mr Sawyer i, a reliable gentlemen
Whether the atfair was a coincidence or
wonderful exhibition of snake sense he
can’t say.

The negroes of Libity county; seem to
to have tired of the white man’s Jesus
Christ, and have started up a little “Di

day or two, they come to the front with a

Turn him loose to himself and he will
drift back into Hoodooism in spite of
fate and high water. If the chistian
whites ever expect to christianize the
negro and keep him so they will have
to improve upon their present method of
giving him a license to go out and build
churches and run the thing to suit him
