The InrOads Of Civilization.

A very graphic and pathetic descrip-
ton of the inroads soon to be made by
civilization is given by an old man in
Tennessee "But this hyur country's
all goin' to change. It's goin' to be
most everlastin1y improved, you see.
I shan't never be improved; I'm too
old. But the old ways is coming to an
end. They's men buyin' up thousan's s
of acres Of this land. They'll be rail-
roads built directly, hither an yam,
Gu. off the woods for fuel an lumber,
an they'll be mines an quarries up
hyur, they say. An they'll be mean,
dirty little towns laid out, all about.
Then, instid o people drinkin' a little
healthy whisky, as we've always done,
they'll be forty times as much miser'
ever drinks it'll begin to steal an lie.
I reckon they'll be some mighty fine
houses built som'eres along this river,
an they'll put big scientific locks on to
their doors, an thieves IL come up from
Cincinnater and Chat'noog', an break
into 'em. They amt never been . lock
on to a door N these mountains. But
they's goin' to be the all-fredest i'm
provements about hyur, an I s'pose our
peopleyl parn to steal too; haf to to
keep up an live. An they'll be some
O. them city women hyur, I reckon,
from them big places, with their fine
feathers, an their dresses draggin' on
to the ground, an they'll be the devil
to pay among our young men. That's
what they call civ'lysation, amt it,
stranger I tell ye this country II soon
be improvin' like hell, but I shan't live
to see much of it, I reckon"

Negro Superstiti0ns.

Savage African beliefs, or supersti-
hons, as TO the interference Of super
natural power in the affairs of human
life, prevail everywhere among the
negroes OF the South to an extent which
Northern people would scarcely imagine
without special study of the subject.
This is not to be wondered at when we
observe how largely prehistoric forms of
thought survive even in cultivated North
ern communities. I think there are no
negroes, perhaps, except the few edu-
Gated young men, who are free from the
influences of the general belief in signs,
charms, dreams, spells and magical in
carnations. Nearly every neighborhood
has an old man or women who possesses
unearthly powers, and who is constantly
consulted and appealed to for assistance
in connection with the love affairs and
the quarrels of the colored people, and
in cases of protracted or mysterious sick
ness. The belief in the power of the
evil eye is nearly universal, as in the
notion that persons, domestic animals,
wells, and particular places can be
tricked that is, have a curse or
malign spell put upon them-by any
body who knows the "charm," or
method of procedure which will produce
such a result. A nail driven into the
ground, with certain magical prelimin-
aries and aecompaniments, is a potent
means of dire injuries and revenges. In
matters of love, courtship and marriage
the negroes are usually extremely jeal-
ous and su -picious, and magical arts are
commonly invoked to secure affection, to
ALLEVIATE those who are already attached
to each other, and to protect aggressors
from detection or punishment. There
are various spells Of formule for such
purposes. They usually include the
use of scrar of some article of clothing
which has been worn by the person who
is to be tricked, or shred of his hair, a
piece of tinger-nail or toe-nail, or even
some dust from his shoes. A volume
might be written on the beliefs of the
colored people regarding the super
natural, and on this department of thei,
folklore, and the subject would probably
as we'll repay attention as the ideas and
race characteristics of savage tribes In
distant parts of the world.-Atto'atit

Lemon Culture I'm Florida.

Florida lemons have not generally
found favor in Eastern markets, owing
to their large, thick skins and inferior
favor. A few individuals, however,
who believed the soil OF Florida adapted
for the culture of that fruit as well as
oranges, have been experimenting with
lemon seedlings imported from Sicily
and Messina, and planted them, it is
claimed, with perfect success. A writer
from Lake Poinsett says: eie'~
"The lemon produced had much
of the size of the old Florida fruit, but
was thin-skinned, of bright golden color,
and juicy beyond comparison. They at
once took rank in market as the best
lemons thatwere offered, and commanded
a premium. Sales are reported for GER
tain months of last season at $12. 25 a
box of 160 lemons. A peculiar fact of
lemon culture is that the imported lemon
can not be raised in Florida from the
seed. Any seed will do for the stump,
but to produce the perfect fruit the
stump must be budded from the i'm
ported tree. The advantages of lemons
over oranges are that the trees bear
sooner they bear larger crops, the
fruit ripening continually for eight
months, instead of few months as is the
case with the orange Another advan-
tage is that the season is longer than the
orange, and the opportunity for market
ing at good figures better.
"Since the culture of the lemon has
become general the Floridians have
learned the method of preparing the
fruit for the market. The evenness of
size SO. notable in box of foreign
lemons is secured by the use of a ring
Or sizer.' On the Mediterranean lemons
are never left OF. the tree until they get
their color. An attendant goes to each
tree, passes a ring over each lemon, and
when it fits the ring it is clipped and
put in packing house, where the bright
yellow color is given them by subjecting
them to fumes of sulphur. A packing
house of this sort has been established
by Mr.. Bean, at Jacksonville. He
buys the lemons when green at about a
cent and half each, gives them the
artificial coloring, and sells them for
handsome advance.

While Mr.. M. B. Leavett's Gigantean
Minstrels were here lately playing at the
Olympian Theatre, he was called on bys
representative of this paper, and quite .
conversation ensued as to minstrelsy,
past, present and to come. While MIR.
Leavett was regaling the reportorial ear
with a history of minstrelsy Mr.. Dan
Emmett came upon the scene.
Old Dan, as everybody calls him, is
the. individual who bears the honored
distinction of being the first man who
used burnt cork on his face-the first
negro performer and Dan has grown old
in the business, years increasing his
popularity. Mr.. Emmett has lost none
OF his fire or vigor of former years, but.
on the contrary, may be counted better
to-day than quarter of q century ago.
One of the most prominent features OF
Mr.. Leavett's Ggantean Minstrel
Troupe is scene entitled "Old-time
Minstrelsy." This act represents the
very first scene in minstrelsy ever pro-
duced, and just as placed upon the stage
/ in 1910 by Dan Emmett, and shows at
| once the contrast between minstrelsy in
| its infancy and minstrelsy as produced
| to. day under the management of such
| man as Mr.. B. Leavett Old Dan, the
forty-year favorite, never fails to win ap-
plause in the great scene, especially
when he sings, as he alone can sing,
"Away Down South in Dixie" Dams
rendition of that veteran song is sure to
carry the audience every time. The
writer has, of course, heard it sung hun
dreds of times, and even heard Mr. EN-
NETT. the author, sing it years ago, but
thinks that years add to it's beauty, and
| enhances the interest thrown into it by
Dan.
The writer, speaking to Mr.. Emmett,
said: "Dan, how is it that you are SO
lively, and still SO perfect in your busi-
ness, after your term of nearly q half .
century upon thestage?" "Well, replied
the author of "Dixie," 81 have always
been blessed with the best of health, and
have always lived strictly temperate
life. I was never troubled with pain or
ache until five years ago, and then my
trouble began with the rheumatism, and
I got that in right royal state, and it
managed to cripple me up pretty badly.
A man who never has had the rheumatism
knows nothing about the dreadful suffer-
ing endured by those who are afflicted
with that malady. How did suffer with
my case-pain day and night, constant
vexation and trouble from morning until
night and night till morning is what I
endured.
but began using st. Jacobs OH for
my trouble, and it began to disappear.
Rheumatism must leave the stage OF &C.
tion when st. Jacobs Oil comes on. It.
evacuation day with Mr.. Rheumatism
every time, and SO it has proved in my
case. You tell the people that Old Dan
Emmett says he considers St Jacobs Oil
the very best medicine fo1 rheumatism
in the world to-day, and would IS soon
think of travelling without his violin or
wardrobe as without st. Jacobs OIL. Tell
them that he is thankful of st. Jacobs
Oil for the good that it has done, and
that he freely endorses that great medi-
cine and recommendsito on all occasions 4"

A Woman's Heart,

"Lemme see," said the old man mus
ing with his chin on the top Of his cane
and speaking in the shril falsetto voice
of age, "it must be forty-seven years
since Anna Maria died, yet can remem-
Der the very gown she wore and the
color of the long curls that hung down
over her shoulder and the red on her
cheeks that was like a winter apple
Dear me! she's never faded mite in all
them years, but Just sits there lookin'
at me, as she did when I brought her
home. You see there was q kind OF
romance tew it, and I've often and often
thought that if had the power and could
rite it out it would read beautifuller than
a novel; the fact was Anna Maria had
another beau, but that amt no wonder
for she was the smartest and prettiest
and best girl in the hull country side,
but what mean, she had favored him
ever so little, afore come around and
began keepin' her company. Folks kind
of coupled their names together, and
some of 'em, to bother me, limited that
she cared heap for him. Why, you'd
orter tew hev seen him! He was slim
and fine as lady, and wore gaiter shoes,
and had holler eyes es if he'd never had
quite enuff to eat. Ann Maria care for
him?' why, the girl had sense and knew
the difference atween feller as straight
as sapling with color like new
mahogany, and such a melancholy look
ing specimen as that Besides, 1 he'd q
mortgage on the old homested, and Ann
Maria s father owed me money, but I
did right by them. I told her eff she
married me I'd deed the whole thing
back to her, and I did. Well, we was
married, and we made as purity couple
as you ever saw in your life. Ann Maria
had settin' out Of china and linen, and
l provided the house, and folks said I
had the best wife man ever had in the
world, and I'd got everything just as I
wanted it, and s'posed it would always
be so but from the day we were married
| my wife failed in health and spirits, and
in six months buried her-folks said il
was consumption, but it didn't run in
the family. Twas blind and full of pride
then-but I've thought SINCE" here the
old man lowered his voice, that mebbe
all the time she loved that white-faced
chap as I despised O woman's heart
| I've found out, is q queer thing, and
Love goes where it is sent, but if she
/ did and married me from mistakened
sense Of duty why all I've go to say is
I've been punished, too, for I loved her!
Perhaps never felt it as much as did
when I saw her lying white and peaceful
in her chintz gown, with the violet on it,
and something round her neck that
never see before-a little cheap locket
with some hair in that wasn't mine.
s'Then I mistrusted that her hear
had broke and I said solemnly as
kissed her good by: my dear, III
never have wife but You if I live the
four score year and ten! and never
have, and I think mebbe she will SEE
that I loved her truly, and forgive me a
last. ."-Detroit Free Press.
