CURIOUS BELIEF OF THE NEGROES.
Baying the Ds1d Of the River-supersti-
tion Couoexniu1 tho Blue,nv

Baying the Dsad Of the River-supersti-
zion Concerning tho Bluejay.
A small party Of us lately had the pleas
ure Of visiting one Of those large rise plantar
tons so numerous in South Carolina, where
Q large number Of negroes are employed.
Accompanied by Ar. s., the owner Of tho
place, we crossed the river on which the
plantation is situated in q row boat propelled
by four strong and musical @handsr as the
laborers are called After landing our at
tention was attracted to large crowd of
negroes gathered together on tie bank a
short distance from US Mr. s. proposed
that we should 60 and zee what was tho
cause Of this gathering, saying that he
thought it was funeral
When we arrived at the spot we found
that his surmiss was correct A negro
child had been drowned while bathing in
the river and the body had been washed
ashore The friends Of the drowned
child had dug a grave right on the
bank Of the stream on the spot where the
body had drifted and were going to bury him
there. Mr.. s. said to them; Boys, why
don't you take him up TO the graveyard and
bury him decentlyr One old, white headed
negro, who was evidently preacher, spoke
up, saying; well, boss, de troot is, we amt
got no money for trow cen de water Mr..
s. took some coppers from his pocket and
handed them 70 the old man, but he, shaking
his head, said: Dis won't do boss 1t got
for be silber money Our host then offered
a silver quarter This the old man took and
threw into the river. Having done this he
called ON some Of the men who were standing
by to help him carry the body to the grave
yard, where it was decently buried
In explanation Of this curious ceremony
Mr.. S. said: The negroes in this part OF
the country believe that il any one is drowned
his body belongs To the river in VIII h the
drowning took place; and il the body is
washed ashore they will not remove it unless
they have some money TO throw into the
water, for they think that if they do move i,
the river will be angry with them, and viii
surely drown some OF them in revenge for
having been cheated Of its prey II, how
ever, they have money TO throw in they will
do so, and then take the body away and
bury it in the graveyard; for they consider
that they have made bargain with the
river and that it has no further claim on
them"
Another curious idea which prevails
among the negroes is this: That it is I'M
lucky to kill blue-jay on Friday, because
on that day this bird carries sand TO the
devil How the blue jay carries it, why his
tastes lie in that direction or why he is con-
sidered more guilty in this respect than
other birds can't say. but such is the case
according to "our brother in black. "-Savan-
nah Cor. Detroit Free Press.

A FERN LEAF.

took last night from it, resting place,
On the page Of . poem love to read,
A fern leaf, delicate, fine rs lace,
But scentles, colorle9, dead indeed.
A tiny spray you had stopped to pick
As we wandered On through the woods
one day;
From the velvet moses where ferns grew
thick,
You stopped to pick me this single spray
/ kept and preserved it I knew not why
We were friend and friend-we were moth
ing more;
With smiles we parted The time went by,
And Life its thorns and its blossoms bore
TIL We met one night, after years had sped.
We spoke Of the past with calm regret;
And II picked You fern leaf once, (" you
said;
] answered lightly, II have it yet"'
I blushed at your eager, glad surprise;
There was much to remember and much
to say;
We seemed to walk under far-oH skies,
Along q blossoming woodland way;
And you whispered the words that long ago
We feared to speak when, in Loves sweet
dread,
You would have offered your heart-but lol
You gave me spray Of fern instead

Mr. F. s Fleming tender ed coupons
in payment of the whole amount including
The money advanced by Mr.. Harlow.
The tender was declined for the sum

churches had but slim congregations. The

to diminutive steam yachts, together with
all sorts of sailing craft. 1t is solemnly
stated somewhere in the Alcoran of Mahom-

THE PUBLIC SCHo oLs-The city super
intendent requests US to say that all per-
sons who wish their children to attend the
public schools of the city, must not only see
that they get permits but that they attend
the schools 10 which they are assigned THIS
week. No permits will be issued on Mon
day next, as it would interfere with the
proper organization of the schools, and as
the applications are annually in excess OF
the accommodations in most of the divis.
ions, it will doubtless happen that some
children who fail to get permits or use those
they get this week will have to await the
occurrence of vacancies for perhaps several
months.
