The superstition ofthe Negro

y C Letter in Evening Post
If the negro is anything he is
highly supsrstitious. More has
been written Of this side of his character
than perhaps any other. Mr.. Harris, in
his "Uncle Remus" and other negro folk
lore writings, has preserved for us many
of their amusing superstitions. One
needs, however, to have had instilled in
stilled into his own mind their super
stitious beliefs-as every southern child
who had negro nurses and attendants
had them instilled to appreciate prop
erly how largely this element enters into
their character. A knife, il shut when
borrowed, must never be returned open,
and vice versa. One must never turn
back without having made q cross mark
in the road and spit upon it. Violation
of these rules brings bad luck. Such
superstitious rules are met with every
day. Many negroes carry a rabbits foot
for good, and amusing stories are cur
rent of how smart" employers have
used the possession OF the charm to adj
vantage. A gentleman recently told me
how he had Mortified his employees by
ordering some trees to be cut into fire
wood. The sassafras is priced for its
medicinal virtues, and to burn it as fire.
wood is considered almost sacriligious.
Besides, person is supposed to shorten
his days by burning the sassafras. Many
of the negroes are firm believers in the
'liunjering' art. Diseases can be ''kun-
jured" away and direful ills brought on
by the same power. A ''eunjurer" is
generally feared and dcspised. The
lines Of the negro song
The devil am q liar anda kunjurer too
He kuniured me and he'll kuniure YOU

Home Journal.
Ferdinand VI of Spain, while suffer
ing under the hereditary melancholy
from which he subsequently died, was
pacing to and fro one December day in
the year 1879 in his bedroom in the Pal
ace Royal of Madrid. He was interrupt
ed by the entrance of Maria Theresa, his
Queen, who bounded gayly into the
room. In her hand she held flower of
dazzling whiteness, which she presented
to her husband. "a beautiful flower,
but scentless," exclaimed the King, fold
ing in his arms the wife whom he pas
sionately loved. ct is the new flower
Of the Philippines said the Queen. Il
have KEEP. the best for you.
The flower which Maria Theresa
brought to her husband a century and a
half ago had been presented to her the
previous day by a Jesuit missionary just
returned from the Indies. Craving an
audience from his sovereign be brought
his offering, a small shrub, with glossy
green leaves, on which bloomed two
magnificent white flowers and which he
had brought from the Island of Luzon,
one Of the Philippine group. It was
about three feet in height and grew in a
vase Of mother f-pearl The Jesuit don
or was named Camellia Cuttings from
this rare shrub ere carefully cultivated
in the lighthouses of Fl Bueu Retro, at
Madrid Though it was introduced into
Spain toward the end Of 1879, the new
flower of Father Camellia remained for
a long time in a state Of seui-obscurity,
as the pos5essors jealousy guarded itlest
it should become common. But the
monopoly was gradually relaxed, and
the camelia now blooms as universally
as other beautiful ornaments of The flow
er garden.

Your agent being in Columbus, Ga few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
J. II. Campbell, we asked him for the news
His reply was, y have two more important
cures effected by E5wift's Specific to report"
This venerable man is known far and wide for
his uuFomitting labOT5 of love in the behalf of
the poor of Columbus. II viii be remember
ed that the Swift SPECIFIC 90. has donated
quite an amount Of their famous medicine to
be distributed by Mr.. Campbell among the
poor Of the city; hence his remark. He said:

clans during the past three or four years with

four bottles and Is now apparently perfectly

one Of the worst cases Of this terrible disease

poor creature was beyond expression. She
tried every remedy at hand, Including mcrcu-
ny ana lQdIde OF potash, but she only grew
worse. She was in this condition when [ first
saw the case. / soon had her taking SWiftS
specific, and she has now only taken two bot
ties, but every mark of the disease has almost
entirely disappeared. Her general health has
greatly improved. 1t is one of the most Yr-
mdrkable cures that has come under my no.
tIee, and in ministry of sixty years have
mingled with every class OF society and OBJ
served closely the variety of diseases which
affect humanity. Blood diseases are the most
numerous and the most difficult to remove.
To overcome these diseases, it is my deliberate
Judgment that SWitts Specific is the grandeSt

Miss SEWERS secIusion.

Within two miles of Kingston, Tenn,
resides Miss Mary Sewer, who for sixteen
years has been recluse.I lin 1869 the tenn
perance question was fercely agitated in
that vicinity, and feeling ran very high
between the liquor interest and the
friends Of prohibition. W. B. Reid was
the editor OF the local weekly, the East
TeRDeSSeedn, and he persuaded her to
contribute an article attacking the saloon
keepers. Tn latter were so incensed
that they frightened Reid into giving up
TIE name Of the author Of the article, and
Miss SEWER became the subject OF town
gossip.
This 50 mortified her that she retired TO
her beautiful home on the outskirts Of the
town. She has very rarely left II, and no
one but members Of the family see her.
From a bright and blooming girl she has
grown into prematurely aged and s0ured
y cluse. The family entertains most lib
orally, but She has her own apartments,
into which guests never penetrate. Her
father was Gov. Sewer, one OF the early
executives OF Tennessee.
