effect upon those who engage in it. On Sunday

Making Castor Oil Out of ''Culled
Pussons,"

The Washington City Star says: As
strange as it may appear many Of the col
ored people here cherish the belief that
there is class Of physicians who practice
" burking," and are addicted to the dissect-
ing of live human subjects for the purpose of
manufacturing castor oil, and that for this
purpose the doctors prefer bodies with a
dark cuticle. This opinion is so firmly i'm
pressed on their minds, that no amount of
reasoning will remove it. and we know of
many of them, particularly juvenile Afri-
cans, who viii not bulge a foot outside their
dwellings after darF. An otherwise intelli-
gent -" Topsy," employed by US, describes
the modus operandi of these imaginary
ghouls, by saying. Dey steal upon culled
pussons unawars, clap plaster over deir
mOut to keep um from hollerin, and dren
drag um way to whar dey lay um on a table
and cut up, and den bile um down for lie" :"
This is a cheerful notion for those inyalids
who use the oil Of the palma christa bean as
q cathartic.
The Annapolis Republican states that a
similar belief prevails among the cOlored
people in that section, and it probably exists
elsewhere How it originated it Is impossi-
bic to tell
The same thing is generally believed
among the negroes here, and we presume
the mysterious disappearance of negroes IN
every part Of the South for some months
past is the consequence of this new manu-
facture. Another fact strongly tending TO
confirm the statement is that castor oil is a
drug IN the market, and that its price has
materially deprecated recently. Further
more, the remark of an eminent chemist,
overheard by an intelligent coAtraband, -
that the full blooded African made much
better article of castor oil than the one of
mixed blood, and really better article than
the castor oil plant, places the matter almost
beyond boubt. We intend to change our
medicine, and will hereafter use Brandreth' &
pills IN preference to castor oil Castor oil
never was a very good medicine anyhow
