vOUDOU vAGARaEs.
1t Cost Lady ssOOW tn Discover Their
nn,w

How frail poor humanity is will be
seen by the following narrative. There
resides in the First District u lady of
| high repute, who had in her employ q
servant who was inflicted with % disease
which could only be squelched by the
pernieious hand of the Voudou doctor
The servant, believing that the hand Of
late was against her, she went In search
ol q Voudou doctor, who, by the way OF
| variety, Is confidence thief Of pecu-
| liar stripe.
The Voudou doctor, on getting his vic
tim well into his power, told her that
the hand OF the Voudou clan was against
| her, and that death would soon claim
her rs its own unless she was willing to
abide by his commands. Now, this
doctor, having an eye to business, sas
will be seen before reaching the end OF
this tale. persuaded tho negfess from
the path OF honesty. and made her be-
lieve that by robbing her mistress, and
sacrificing the life OF cat, so that the
money could be annointed with its
blood, should bury IL by the dark OF the
moon In certain places designated by
him, and then by the supernatural
power that he would bring to bear upon
the tOudou queen, her numerous sins
would be washed away.
The servant obsyed the orders OF the
Voudou doctor to the letter, and he
watched her do the burying. A day or
two elapsed when the money, amount
Ing to about $4,000. was discovered to be
gone. The servant, becoming distract
ed, called upon her detractor, the You
dou doctor, and told him that the
money which she had buried was dis
covered to be gone. The doctor told
her to have no fears upon the subject
That he would see that everything
panned ont all right, This confidence
THIEF Immediately called upon the own
er OF the money, the lady, and told her
that Tor u small compensation
that he would by the powers invested in
him restore to her all the wealth This
was the second fly that he had decoyed
into his parlor to carry out his heilish
purpose. The money Was restored, but
the Voudou thief worked upon sthe
wOman's feelings in such manner,
that he made her believe that the sum
OF money would be safer in his posses
sion than In hers.
This proposition the lady agreed to,
believing that il the doctor had been
dishonest he could have taken the
money before. But, Of course, there is
"a difference between breach Of trust and
eDbezzlemeDt and grand larceny. This
the VoudoO thief was well aware Of, and
getting the money in his possession he
lost no time in shaking the dust OF New
Orleans from bis feet Detective Cain
is now looking for him in Cincinnati.

On last Saturday night Mr.. o. Young,
residing in the little town Of Pontcha-
toula, was reused from his slumber by
hearing noise in the pantry. Aiming
himself with double barrel shotgun
and repairing to the place, he discov-
cred negro about to make his exit,
carrying with him bucket OF -four and
u few other Of the necessaries Of life.
Mr.. Young ordered the negro to halt.
but instead OF obeying the order the
negro dropped bis stolen booty and was
on the eve Of taking leg bail, when Mr..
Young leveled the shotgun and gave
him the contents Of one of the barrels.
The negro, as soon as be felt the effect
Of cold lead penetrating his carcass,
turned upon bis assaiIant and was about
to do murderous work with stick Of
xood, when Mr.. Young tried to dis
charge the second barrel OF the gun It,
and would not 60 off.
The negro, during Mr.. Young's dilem-
ma, gained considerable ground, and
was about to strike him over the head
with the piece OF ofwood, when Mr.. Young,
with considerable presence OF mind re-
versed his gun and prostrated the thief
on the ground by a telling blow on his
Uranium with the butt OF the weapon.
The negro was game till the last, and
believing that it was better to be killed
than to be taken prisoner, he got upon
his feet again and clencbed with his an
tagonist. The two men scuffled from
the house into the yard, when Mr..
Young called upon little boy to bring
him his sword-cane whict he did. and
the gentleman getting command Of the
weapon, plunged 1t twice into the thief's
body, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Young Immediately surrendered
himself to the proper authorities, but
was released Sunday, on the Coroner
returning verdict Of justifiable homi-
eide.
The negroes becoming enraged at the
killing OF this thief by Young, banded
themselves together on Sunday evening,
and for while riot was imminent, but
they were calmed by q speech from q
negro preacher who resided in that Sec
ton, after which they returned to their
respective homes, and peace once more
reigned In Warsaw.

Mr.. Hardee. the City Surveyor, is
awaiting the return of the u. s. Revenue
cutter John A. Dix, to begin his survey
OF the lake, that vessel having been
placed at his disposition by the Federal

The matter will be speedily entered
into and prosecuted in order that the

The question Is therefore this, whether the

will not be pretended, by any man of charac-
ter enough to make his statement under oath
worth anything, that the 1915 colorcd voters
registered in East and West Feiciana Parishes
were all converted to Democracy. But not
a single one of them was permitted to cast Il he
publican ballot 1t twill not he pretended that the
larger part of the II ,S9f colored voters regis
tered in the five disputed parishes were con-
verted. The returns prove that very small
part of them voted at all, and that scarcely
any of them dared to vote a Republican ticket
In nearly every other colorcd parish III the
State the Republican vote increased. In these
five it virtually ceased to cxist-11 900 Re

covers, we are pleased to find the book plate
of one owner or the autograph of another.
We think of the eyes now closed forever which
first scanned these pages and of the fingers which
first turned the yellow leaves. We seem to have
established a succession from ancestors by the
grace of letters, and we cannot think harshly
of those yicissitudes of human affairs which
have made us know so well those whom we
have never seen, and introduced us into the
great fraternity of the innumerable readers of
the past SO we will not sigh over the break
ing up of great library as if it were lapse
into chaotic ruin for out of its desOlation will
come new though smaller assemblages of the
immortals, and great comfort to those who
must be c0ntented with small things.
