A Buried Bottle the Witch's Spell
-Exhuming the Bottle Gives
Relief.

The small houses on Watson street,
between Central avenue and Little
Cough street. are inhabited by ne
groes, who have been intensely ex-
cited for several days past by the
neiarious practices ola so-called con-
jurer. The person upon whom the
denizens of Watson street believe
the conjuer has laid his spell is
young colored woman named Julia
Green, who was born in st. Mary's
county, Md. When the Bulletin re-
porter met her yesterday she certain d.
ly had the appearance of beinga wo-
man who had suffered terribly from
some mysterious cause. Thin, even
TO emaciation, her hands were long
and skelcton-like in their wamess,
while her eyes wore an anxious, rest
less expression, as il she. felt the
presence of some terrible malady.
While speaking she seemed deeply
affected, and talked in way that
showed she had no hope save from
some superhuman source. She says
she came to Baltimore about twelve
years ago, and up to within four
months past had been living with u
man named Henry Clayton, by whom
she had two children. About year
ago Clayton neglected Julia, and
commenced going with a woman
named Maggie Mitchell. This Great
cd ill-feeling between them, and one
day the woman Mitchell came TO her
house, No. 76 Watson street, and
pushing open the door, came in and
began to fight her. In the melee
which ensued Maggie pulled out II
handful Of Julia's hair. After they
were separated Maggie stopped down
and dipped il in some of Julia's
blood, which had been spilled upon
the floor, and going out remarked :
II will fix her yet" Soon after this
Clayton went TO live with the wo-
man Mitchell, who continued to make
threats against her.
One day about four months ago,
while Julia was sitting in the kitch.
en- with Clayton's mother, she was
suddenly seized with intense pains
all through her body; her mind wan-
dered, and her left arm became par
allied. Since then she has had SINH
lar sensations repeatedly, while her
body, which was strong and fieshy
when the attacks commenced, has
wasted away TO a shadow. Last
Friday, while the children were play
ing in the yard, one of them dug up
bottle. In it a rough figure Of her
self cut out of some Kind of red
cloth, the hair which Maggie Mitchell
had pulled from her head, and dark
looking liquid. She had no doubt
this was the conjurer's charm, and
became almost wild with joy when
she first saw it. She has been feel
ing much better ever since, and be-
lieves if the bottle can be kept safe
she will get well. The policeman on
the beat wanted to break the bottle
open 10 see what was in it, but all
the old people said if il was broken
the person for whom the spell was
intended would surely die very soon.
When the bottle was first found the
negroes in the ncighborhOod crowd
ed into the small house TO get look
at the mysterious contents, and for
while the street in front was conf
pletely lined with a mass OF eager
and excited darkies.

What have you gone and done?
Why in these latter days,
Your ruby banner raise,
Affecting us poor mortals with a BLIZZARD
Or sun cyclone,
By which tender article, the giZZard,
Is quite o'erthrown!
Oh, sun, have you forgot
That summers gone to pot
Ard now it Oughn't to he hot:
Now should our nights be cool,
And all our autumn days
Should, Is 4 general rule,
Be wrapped in slumherous haze:
But You enmesh us IN net OF heat,
And wrap lis in Il circling Hood Of ire,
TIL poets can no longer keep their feet,
And burn their fingers when they twang
the Tyre.
Vow. when the Juicy oyster opcs its shell.
The drama opes its doors.
And yellow fever opens ont as well,
And spreads dstressful spores,
We have enough to bear and do,
OF work and fun,
Without this parting shot from you,
Insatiate sun,
When summer swallows homcward fly,
In tlocks and shoals,
Why I'll their waiting nests breast high
With living Goals:
What spot has got
Upon your face or in your path,
That thus excites your fiery wrath,
And make. il hot?
The overworked thermometer
Begs leave to take drops"
The burdencd air can scarcely stir
Until you shut up shop.
Great sun,
Have done,
And shoot no more your Parthian arrows
Through blood and brain, through bones and
marroWS,
But please, unreasonable sun, remember
That Augusts past, and it is now September.
