VouDoUIsh ON THE RAMPAGE.-Tbe fol.
lowing is taken from the N. O. Times. Of
the 3lst ult.
Judge Howe recently sentenced a col.
lored girl named Evelina to two months
Imprisonment, for stealing two diamond
earrings of Mile. Legraud, of the Opera,
and the curious circumstance about the
matter was that the larceny was discoy-
cred through the agency Of q Youdou
priestess whose assistance had been in.
voked to prevent discovery. 4 some
what similar case occurred before Recor.
der Gastinel on Saturday; there was
another case before u. S. Commissioner
Shannon yesterday and not a great
while ago, a young white giIi was in
duced by the same mysterious agency to
go and reside with an uncle for whom
she entertained nothing but horror, and
in spite too, of the most urgent e~ntreat.
les to the contrary Of the mother. She
said that her will was controlled by some
love spell that had been pronounced by a
Voudoo priestess, and which it was im.
possible for her to resist
A singular fact in connection with this
superstition ia that the Oldest manuscript
now known TO be that Of the
Egyptian papyrus in the collection of
antiquities st LsydeD, makes a~llusion to
similar love spells and similar magic
rites, and the manner in. which the un-
successful lover Of that day proceeded, is
so much similar to the method adopted
st this, that . Voudoo priestess could
pronounce the Egyptian form Of invocation,
aud it would not greatly differ from what
is now known as |" burning the red can
dle.' AZ there are two or three ~cbapels
where the worship is carried en-, as there
are numerous professors Of the black art
that are extort!ng money every day from
the creduious through terror, and as there
are innumerable instances where disease.
death and murder has resulted from the
practice of these magical rites, all OF the
pretended doctors aud priestesses should
be kept under the constant surveillance
OF the police, and the number in some
way prevented from increasing.
