NEGRO suPERsTITIONs
From the Galveston BuIletin.l
III. A. - :.

From the Galveston Bulletin.l
There is at the county Jail negre sup
posed to be voodooed. Sambo has been
there more than n month. He has never
spoken, except when hungry and forced to
say ''brGad," and on one other occasion,
when he was heard to say mice morning"
Yet the rascal can evidently talk and I'M
derstand what is said to him. He will stand
by the hour straight Gin the position Of a
soldier" staring at the blank wall. At other
times he will sing ''Bobbing Around" for
half the night when he will curl himself on
the ground, put his head on his tin plate,
and sleep like pig. The other negroes say
he is either yoodooed or else is voodooing
somebody. This superstition is little else
than the idolatrous religion of Africa. It
prevails more extensively in New Orleans
than elsewhere. It's heather rites and Ger
emonies are most disgusting. They believe
in incantations and charms, bewitch their
enemies by pieces'of hair, feathers, and SIM
liar articles which are charmed. They
have been suspected of human sacrifices,
and are known 10 rob graves TO pro-
cure materials for their charms, which
are as varied and disgusting as those used
by the witches in Macbeth" Strange TO
say, they have made white converts, and in
one or two cases Of sensible people. The
initiatory rites as described by the New
Orleans police, who have several times
broken in upon them, consist Ct naked
dances around a leaking cauldron of
charmed snakes, toads, human remains and
similar articles. They have a Queen to
whom they are subjects. This woman, who
resides in New Orleans, is known TO the po-
lice, and is described as a beautiful Octo-
room. The subject is one Of interest, and
the only works we know of on it are very
unsatisfactory. The negro Or. RANDoLPH),
now travelling with the Southern loyalists,
delivered some lectures on the subject at
New Orleans claiming that he had learned
its mysteries in Africa, but he evidently
knew very little on the subject. Il is
known to be practiced on most of the Lou
isiana plantations. GILMORE SIMMs has
written a story called the Enchanted
Crow" which is evidently based on this
heathenish and superstitious religion. 1t is
10 he hoped that some competent person
will study il, for il is the religion Of Africa
brought 20 our doors.

the following;

MANS, on Thursday night last, to be relieved
so Unexpectedly and by such an exhibition
OF heroism and selfpossession, as we are

Mrs. G. was aroused by the barking of the
yard dog. Getting out Of bed and seizing a
repeater which wss at the head of her bed,
she was awaiting developments when the
noise Of whispering was heard. In a few
seconds, efforts were being made at three
different windows TO burst open the blinds
Mrs c. twice endeayoFed % discharge the
repeater through one Of the blinds, but il
refused 10 fire. DELLA, a little daughter,
nine years old, had O the meantime been
aroused and she had gathered the other Of
the two repeaters which had been placed at
the head Of the bed. While the mother was
exchanging the refractory weapon for a shot
gun which was in the room, little DELLA
had taken her stand at one of the windows.
They were too slow for little DELLA, so
forcing the muzzle between the folding
blinds and guessing at her aim, she fired.
The robber had received his reward. Groans
and mutterings took the place of busy pre-
partitions to rob and probably otherwise OUT
rage a peaceab'e family. The robbers gath

or alive. Unfortunately, it is not known
who the robbers were; even their color is
unknown. How many mothers can boast Of
