voudooism in Alabama.

We have before us something OF q
curiosity in the shape Of a voudoo or con-
jure nag. Negroes in this section, even
In their most enlightened circles, have
never gotten rid of that lowest order OF
superstition, common TO the race since
the birth Of their most ancient fore.
fathers, which is firm belief in and
practice OF what has been called
voudooism. The little bag we have
before us wasI picked. up on Broad
street, In front of the Selma furniture
store, few days since. IL costains u
rabbits foot, a piece OF dried coon foot,
q dubious plant that grows spontaneous
ly in Southern forests. also some other
herbs and roots dug from the woods, and
some small particles Of parched tobacco.
The rabbits foot, perhaps, possesses
more powers OF sorcery than any other
instrument in use among the black ma
gieians of the South. Numbers of ne.
negroes in the South carry a
rabbits foot In their pockets OF
concealed about their persons as
constantly as the plow.boy carries his
knife. There is not one negro out oi
every hundred that will allow another
person, white or black. to approasl
them with the enchanted foot. They
will almost go into spasms of terror and
will fight, as for dear life, rather thar
come in contact with n rabbit foot II

tn sre is about the foot of an ordinar,
rabbit or more properly speaking
hare, that sways such a power

Ia an old negro at labor for the city now
who was arrested aud tried for vagrancy
