He is said to be scarcely ten years of

after few opening chords. proceeds

press the feelings of the audience. and
shouts of "bTavO, bravo" come from
all parts of the house. Men stand on
their feet and swing their hats. Ladies
wave their handkerchiefs, and even the
members of the orchestra seem to want
to get on tie stage en- masse and take
the young prodigy in their arms. He
was dressed as almost any boy of his
age might be--in lots lifting blons',
with. sailor collar, knee pants, dark
colored stockings, and low, buckled
shoes. AS soon as he had finished his

he stumbled and fell two or three tunes
in his hurry to get behind the scenes,

4 Victim Of 4 Relentless Eoudoozer'
fSandersville GA Progress.

TSandersville GA Progress.
The superstitious nature of the negro
race has found a marked illustra-
ton in the recent voudooism charged to
have been practiced upon the wife OF
Tom Thomas, one of the most reliable
negro men in Washington County.
Tom was in the city yesterday, and
gave a detailed account to the Progress
of the peculiar affiiction OF his wife and
her miraculous cure, as we'll as the
wonderful manner in which the evil
.perpetrator was discovered.
About q month ago Toms wife felt a
peculiar misery in her limbs, which
gradually enveloped the entire body,
and instead of yielding to ordinary
physic, each dose administered seemed
to add to her ailment, and augment
her suffering.
Finally it dawned upon Tom that his
wife was conjureG and he sought the
aid of old man Gus Cheevers, an old
half-breeG Indian noted for herb reme-
dies and knowledge Ofthe occult science.
The old doctor as soon as approached
told Tom his wife had been poisoned
with rattlesnake poison by neighbor,
and had three days more delay been
made she would have been dead. He
could save her though, and for the sum
of eighteen dollars undertook to anti
dote the poison.
., His medicire would at l. O'Clock on
certain day, make her sick almost un-
to death. but after that she would get
well. The poison, under his treatment,
cxuded from the pores Of her skin III
thread like sprays Of nucus. Finally
the woman recovered and is now at
work hoeing cotton. Sunday last the
old Eoudoo doctor went to Toms to
find out the poisoncr. This he accom-
plished with talismanic ball pendant
frorn string. The ncighbors assem-
h!cd and the !,aIl was held up in front
ofcach as his name WAS called until
Boston May was reached, when the
ball flew toward him, and the guilty
man, though denyingit, stood accused.
Old man Jerry's well, Oh lot ad-
joining Toms, began boiling up last
Monday, and whenever Il bucket of
water is drawn it begins to foam and
run over u la seidiitz powder until the
bucket is empty. The wonderous little
ball also lays this devilment to Boston,
and the Old doctor says the cause is a
bottle ofpoison placed in the bottom Of
the well.

THE MOTHER OF ALBINOS.
Four Curious Specimens Of Humanity.
IAmericus GA, Recorder.l

IAmericus GA, Recorder
Mrs. Harriet Sperlin, colored, died at
her home in this city about two weeks
ago, of paralysis. Harriet was some
what distinguished by being the mother
of four genuine albino children. She
and her husband, Jerry Sperlin, We're
entirely black-that is, they had no
white blood in them. Their three first
children were as black as they were,
and then the next four, in succession,
were Us white as it is possible for a
human being to he, with blue eyes,
which danced about in the sockets,
and white hair which kinked like that
of the genuine negro. Then the last
two or three of their children were as
black as the first. Of the four albinos
three were girls and one boy, and all
grew up to man and womanhood, since
which time two Of the girls have died.
The boy, Tom Sperlin, left here short
time ago for Florida. The father Of
these albinos IS still living, and says
that from the time they were five years
old till they were grown, he has been
offered large sums Of money for these
children by showmen, who wished to
exhibit them as curiosities. Some offer
cd him a half interest in the net pro-
ceeds and promised safe return of the
children, but Jerry positively declined
all such offers, saying that his con-
science would not allow him to specu-
late in his own flesh and blood.
