a Strange Interruption.

The Primitive Baptist camp-meeting
at Silver Creek, Ga, had a strange in
terruption. \ matronlv woman began
to scream and cry in "A violent manner
during prayer time. The preacher
thought it was a case of spiritual anx-
ietv, and put on more religious fervor,
which had a magnetic effect on the
praverful worsnipers and caused them
to do likewise. This stimulated the
matronly woman TO renewed exertions
and increased noise. Presently she de-
clared that she was not praying. but
that she was mad about her daughter.
A young man had been paying atten-
ton to her daughter, and the mother
had told the girl to have nothing to do
with him. In order to make sure of
this the old lady had hell the girl by
the arm while engaged in prayer. Very
silently and slylv the young man came
and knelt by the girl. The old lady,
who was devoutly praying, did not see
him. nor did she see the other man that
knelt with him. Nor did she at first
know that the whispered words which
fell from the lips of the three consti
tuted the marriage service. 1t was when
she. found out that her daughter had
thus been married on the sly that she
began to scream. For awhile she was
uncomfortable. But at last she yielded
to wise counsel, and decided to make
the best of what she considered bad
bargain. The brethren present thought
the wedding one of the most extraord-
mary ever known in camp meeting his
tory.

a Wicked Joke.

Charley Willard was n practical
joker; he was what the many victim
lied darkies called "a ba-ad man. y
One day Charley hired darkey to let
him nail him up in packing case, and
he instructed the thus imprisoned
African that at a certain time he should
groan dismally. Then the joker called
dray and said to the driver:
Here, Jack. take this box to the de
pot. don't like the looks of that box
around here. l wonder who left it
here"
The box was placed upon the dray,
and the careless drayman mounted
upon it and started for the station.
He had driven about half the length of
Bay street when hollow groan of
deep agony came up from the box
beneath him. The driver was not
quite certain that he rightly caught
the direction of the noise, but he
lightened up on the box. the perspira-
ton oozed out upon his forehead, and
the furze upon his hands rose up in
creeping horror at the sound.
what dat 2" he softly asked himself,
and his voice squeaked and wabbled rs
he spoke.
"Umrh-h-ah-oh-ee -umrh-h-a p came
from the box, and the captive floun-
dered in his cage
There was a yell of awful terror-a
big negro man leaped high in the air
from the dray and landed full fifteen
feet away, and with huge, white, dis
torted eye out over each shoulder he

"Oh, Lordy o, my Heavenly Father!
Be with me, I pray! 90, wah-ah-ahl
De debill like to cotch me! My Lord

He stopped at last, but it took half
an hour to get the thing explained,
and the coon in the box inquired very
particularly as to whether the drayman
was near at hand before he would con-
sent to being released.

-Nuuf Vernon.

Mount Vernon is described by the
Washington correspondent of The
Charleston Courier. He says: The
great bulk of the furniture in the man.
sion was never seen by Washington.
The soil of the Mount Vernon estate is
carefully cultivated, and yields IA good
annual income. This is especially the
case with the large flower garden and
greenhouse, to the east of the mansion.
The garden is, without doubt, one of
the best cultivated in tho country, and
plants are constantly being sent to post
offices in every state Of the union. The
system of packing practiced is such
that the plants can be sent without in
jury. General improvements to the
Mount Vernon mansion will have to be
made ere long, if it is to he preserved.
The building is entirely of wood, and
in many places already, i'll the upper
rooms, the floors have begun to sink,
showing that their foundations are rot

The most absurd snperstitions are
held in regard to sickness and disease.
1t is always attributed to the evil spirits
floating in the air, and when member
of family is attacked with illness they
send for the priests. These sacred in
dividuals come attended by a full band
of music, that is to say, q huge gong,
several drums, and an instrument like q
Scotch bagpipe. No more hideous or
unearthly noise can be imagined. The
priest kneels before square table hold
ing lighted candles and burning incense,
and reads innumerable prayers placed
on sort Of easel, in large red charac-
tiers. At the end of each one he pros
trates himself to the earth, and the in
struments break out into most dis
cordant clamor while he remains there.
A woman in village just outside the
gates of our compound has never been
well since her removal into new
house. Of course, the only reason they
can think of is that the evil spirits took
possession before they did. Last week
the priests were sent for, and they have
been keeping it up ever since, night
and day. The wonder to us is when
they eat or sleep, for there has been not
the slightest cessation of hostilities.
When i'll they pinch themselves around
the neck till it has the appearance of
being burned or scalded at regular
intervals. Another habit is to take
copper cash, rough coin about the
value of 10 of cent, and scratch
cross on the back till the blood flows.
Even the most learned have not the
slightest idea of the mechanism of the
human body. for it is against the law
and punishable by death to dissect a
corpse. 1t is amusing to see their cuts
representing the internal system, for
they resemble that OF sheep or goat
quite as much as our own beautifully
formed and regulated bodies. No won
der that the marvellous cures effected
by the foreign physician seem little less
than miracles.
