Fetishism, which IS the worship of
stones, plants, weapons and other things,
is spreading horribly among the negroes
in the South. Obeism, or snake wor
ship, is also spreading. One of their
latest festivals is dance around ket-
ties of boiling snakes, lizards, aud toads.
The dancers call themselves the angels
Of God. These horrid heather rites
and ceremonies, practiced in Africa,
have been preserved among them in
this country, and appear to be on the
increase. The negroes here in our
midst, with but few exceptions, believe
in eonjuration, "spells," witchcraft and
ghosts. These are the people who are
to become participants with us in the
duties aud responsibilities Of selfgov-
ernment.

INTERESTING TO SMOKERS, ~ TRuE,-
Tobacco smokers have been recommended

The "s,atev Of West Virginia.

To the EDITOR of the World
SIR:-As you are aware that West
Virginia is one of the "mOst recon
structed" States in the Union (), can
not resist sending you the following ex-
tract from my correspondent in that
State, who was an active General in
our army during the war:
"You must pay the taxes at once or the
land will be sold in October Ii you
knew how this country was governed
YOU would not he surprised at the heavy
taxation. In most of the counties 10
this State not one tenth of the people
can vote or are allowed to act lii the
government of their own affairs, aud
the votsrs aud office holders consist
mostly of the ignorant and vicious seal.
awags and carpet baggers, and as all
want an office the offices are multiplied
without number, aud the money supports
them AID their Radical party. Perhaps
Won are Radical In New York; You
would not remain one long 1t you were
here. | have written the Sheriff to give
the exact amount of your tax, but may
get no reply, as both the Sheriff and
Recorder in that county are utterly un-
tit for their places"
This has reference to some wild lands
own in that State. Before the war the tax
was merely nominal, only some so. The
tax upon the same property this year is
orer one hundred dollars, with no cause
for the advance but the reasons stated
by my correspondent. Truly we live in
an age of Progress" ii.
