BradIcy,'s Ooni.rpna tio,p.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Sun says that there
are about twenty of the Presidents
nominations that have already been
branded by the Republican, Senators
lor rejection, and among the nom.
nations mentioned is that of Mai. D.
F. Bradley, Collector of Internal
Revenue for South Carolina.
1t is said that the ground upon
which the Senators intend to contest
Mr. Bradley's confirmation is that
che is accused Of being an active
sTmpathizer with the moonshiners -
This charge has been so fully dis
proved, and the facts i'll the case
have been so strongly set forth in fa-
vor Of Major Bradley, that we do not
think that even the most partisan Of
the Republican majority of the Sen
ate can object to his confirmation.
While editor Of the Pickcns SEXT!-
MEL he severely criticised the manner
III which the revenue officials under
Collector Brayton and his predeccs
sors discharged their official duties,
but neither i'll public nor private life
has he evlncod any sympathy for il
hc't ohstllIcrs OF o!hcr persons who
have violated the LAYS OF the United
! States.
\ more efficient and thoroughly
trustworthy man could not be sclec
tel for the Office of internal Ncvcnu,
Collector for this State, and we hope
that Major Bradley's confirmation
will not be delayed. .-~-Ncrs and Cou

Strikes are becoming alnrming}v

capital has been in some way offend

Dor unions of the country are organ

they are jealous of the least cncroach

Whenever there is any over produc-

dull, reduction in wages follows,
then there is a strike, and the labor

Oh any 1eelinG of security, and the

much capital and labor in certain 10.

The governor general says the best
thing produced in Formosa is a kind of
mat used for sleeping upon in hot
weather. 1t is made of a species of palm
leaf. and is in texture and feeling x
actly like the material OF IL Panama hat,
though not 80 white. 1t Is quite fine,
soft and flexible, and it Is said that a
maj four by six feet, of the best quality,
costs even here as much as 800. The
governor adds hat the worst thing in
Formosa is opium-smoking. which is
widely practieed, and from my own OBJ
servation. l am compelled to say, it
seems to spare neither class nor condi-
ton of men. High as well as low are
the victims Of the habit. and they re-
sort to ii openly and without shame. 1
have often seen high officials Withdraw
from the table upon social occasions for
the avowed purpose of taking a Whit.
Such men as the Viceroy Lii and Gov
ernor General Liu openly denounce and
frown upon il, but withal there is rea-
son to believe that the consumption of the
drug. both foreign aud native, is on the
increase. China owes this curse prin-
cipaily 10 tine British government and
its subjects, who have fought foi and
succeeded in securing almost a monop-
oily Of the traffic in the foreign article.
Happily, under the treaty of the United
States and China the traffic in opium Is
unlawful for American citizens, and this
fact has strengthened Americans with
the Chinese authorities. Foreign Cor.

THE CITY voupoo DOCTOR.
A Peculiar Specimen In Cincinnati-H
Diagnosis of IA Case.

A Peculiar Specimen In Cincinnati-hS
Diagnosis of IA Case.
The ahoodoo" sentiment is as strong
among the superstitious lower classes of
the colored people of Cincinnati as it Is
with the darkies of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. Only the other day it cropped out
in the police court, where a m~iddle-aged
defendant swore with all earnestness
that a woman had tried to "kunjer' him
by placing in his bed a snakes head,
rabbits foot, and other recognized en-
blems of the magic art. and thai to rid
himself of the effects of these charms
he had to walk over a mile and throw
them in the river. Among the darkie s
OF the south. where this mysterious super
stition originated and holds its sway the
snake. rabbits foot, and all kinds of
YARDS are the cure alls and charm-alls
of creation. With them the most won
derful things can be accomplished and
the most dreaded disease overcome. The
doctor" is looked upon witt terror and
reverence by these disciples of voudoo-
ism.
Cincinnati has q very distinguished
leader among these heathenish believers.
In comp EXON he is OF that color that
denotes a large proportion Of African
blood. He claims. however, descent from
the Commanches or some far western
tribe of Indians. and that he is a "medi-
cine man. by inheritance and lineage.
His makeup is very peculiar. His mus
tache stand out horizontally and slightly
waxed, while a long and similarly
twisted goatee falls from his chin. His
cad is closely shaven, save in one place,
directly over his forehead, where a pc
culiar scalp-lock or tust, gives a comical
appearance to his unique features.
Worn on his scarf are a number OF
medals, bearing hi~eroglyphic marks, testi-
monials, he claims. OF the cures he has
effected. Besides. he exhibits a number
of written certificates testifying to his
mysterious deeds. Apparently he is
somwhere near so years Of age. His
amer are very dignifel. and his lam
guage leaves no doubt that he Is as fully
convinced OF his mysterious power as
the most devout of his followers. His
laboratory at New and Broadway is a
curiosity. Preserved in alcohol are two
headed chickens. snakes, and a perfect
museum of monstrosities The snakes
he has cast out from patients afflicted
like the mar OF old with the devils. The
doctor" is a power among his believers.
who are convinced that NO disease can
battle his charms and YARDS"
His diagnosis of a case is given in a
way peculiarly his own. For instance,
at the bedside of a patient attacked by
the cramps. he has beer heard to remark
with utmost gravity; DE altitndinous
of dis yere completely requires consider
able remonstrance an keerfulness. De
~interiorosity have beer attacked by de
feroshusness of de ubiquity and we have
