TIE IOPsY THEORY no AsroR OIL Is

As strange as it may appear. many OF thu
colored people here cherish the belief that there
is a class OF physicians who practice "burk-
Ing," and are addicted to the dissection Of live
human subjects for the purpose ofmanu faetur.
ing castor oil, and that for this purpose the
doctors prefer bodies with q dark cuticle. This
opinion Is so firmly impressed on their minds.
that no amount of reasoning will remove 1t,
and we know many Of them, particularly ju-
venile Africans, who will not bulge q foot
outside their dwellings after dark. An other
wise intelligent "Topsv," employed by US,
describes the modus operandi ofthese i'm aginary
ghouls, by saying: .sDey steal upon cullud
persons unawars clap a plaster over dsir mout
te keep um from hoilern', and dren drag UNI
away to whar dey lay um on q table and cut
up, and den bile um down for ile." This is \
cheerful notion for those invalids who use the
oil of the palma chrIsta bean as a cathartic.
The Annapolis md Republican states that 8
similar belief prevails among the eoiored pee-
pie in that section, and it probably exists else.
