absence of color seen only in tho face
of dead cofored man. but their eyes
glowed with an unholy fire. After
performing II frantic dance they closed
about the kettle. aud the woman-hend
that presided over it produced a skull

tents OF the vessel. gave tbom one

ecstacy seized him. and. falling upon
the floor, rolled and twisted, uttering
sharp. short yelps like a dog going
mad. When all had drank. the dis
tributor included. she sprang into the
kettle and lad her body in the con-
tents. Her head she would dip down
into the mess repeatedly, until her un-
kept hair stood out in sliiinened separ-
alto strands. Tn s singular bath en-
joyed for some time the creature
lesped from it with amaz ny agility
and proceeded TO take promenade
over the PROSTATE bodies of the colored
men. who had grown quiet. Faster
and faster this walk grew until il be-
came II dance. suddenly, with
shrek, the colored men sprang up and
the room became filled with their
whirling abolical figures.

Your correspondent called on these

N-replied that he could only sap
that they recalled an old story told
him by his father who was one of the
earliest settlers in the country. 1t was
to the effect that voodooism and it's un-
holy rights had been practiced by
some colored people in the neighbour
hood just about the period when q lit
tie child of one of the pioneers haG
disappeared. 1t was thought at tho
time that it had strayed off into Tho
cane brake and there had fallen a prey
TO the panthers which were very nu-
merous and ferocous. The child's
bones. white and clean, having been
found in the brake, confirmed this be.
lief. A party of gentlemen is now be-
ing made up to visit the accursed house
and 10 demolish it.

"Down"-said his mother prompt

SUNSET ON THE LIGUNE AT VENICE.
By MARION V. DUDLEY.

BY MARION V. DUDLEY.
Venice ablnse In the sunset splendorl
Purple clouds with their crests unbound:
Ginning bells with tones so tender,
Hearts are broken and lost In sound.
Glorious sails and a prov resplendent;
faradise bird with its wings unfurled!
Golden mssts AMI a banner pendant,
Naughty dream OF the orient worldl
Roseate plume to the zenith sweeping,
tlung by bope to new desire;
Hues as strong ss a flame uple aplng
Stir the soul and feed It's fire.
Lion proud as Venetian story,
NOT Tor you shall the dark bronze Nv;
stand with domes that have seen your glory;
hneel TO pinions that cleave the sky;
Touch OF the Past on a warm pulse beating.
Ear OF the Present listening lew;
Brow or the Future bend your greeting,
Down from epaliae heights OF snow:
Some sweet hush IN the sunsets chrism
Leans to rock nav life baTque lone,
Violet chimes that soorn their prison
Sing In color ard paint In tone:
Not for tho grave Of a fair dream ended
Keys are tuned aud rich chords strung;
But for the life where dawn has blended
Mortal peace In her songs unsung.
HariSi voice through the arches ringing
Deep with pathOe, rich with time,
Lifts tho soul on q tide Of singing
Fills tue heart with faith sublime.
Triumph voice, In your full-souled passion |
Sing for the Centuries yet to be;
Never Doge IN Mia cold ambition
Wore such erniBe Ms nantes thee;
Softer now the tangled Ginning,
Amethyst spleoaers dee penisg grave;
Beat OF oar and asvos' wAngs rhymiug
Cleavs ne purple aud dip the wave;
Islands lost In the shade epfolding;
Stsrift 10 silverJ CLEAN;
Mystery comes. her krthright holdings;

Correspondence Of the Gazette.
RUsK, TEX March ll.-Colonel E. L.

morning, where he had been to file the
charter of the "Cherokee Iron Company"
The charter filed was for 100000, as
stated In Saturdays GAZETTE, but an
amendment WAS filed the same day max
ing the capital stock 81, 000,e The
fling of the charter is the result Of the
purchase of 10000 acres of ore and tim
Der lands in this vicinity last summer, an
account of which was published in THE
GAZETTE at the time. The incorporates
and stockholders are men Of wealth and

amounted to about $3.50. they propose
to put up in this vicinity two 100ton
furnaces for the manufacture of pig metal.
They have secured land near Rusk upon
which an addition TO the town will

promise on the psrt of the s. Louie,
Arkansas and Texas Railway Company to
widen the gauge Of the Kansas and Gull
Short Lire Runway, running from Tyler
through Rnsk t Lutkin, and now owned
and operated by said company. The msn-
sgement Of the Gould roads have signitis d
their intention of building to Rusk al
once, and the immense tysfffc that will be
the outcome OF This new enterprise, IN
addition to that now furnished by the
penitentiary furnace, will bring more
railroads, as the business of one large
furnace is worth more to railroad than
half dozen small towns. Upon the
w2ole we look for the greatest boom thai

Special TO the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, March l3.-Hon.. John
Hancock, D c. Giddings. J. W. Throck-
morton and W. L Moody, the committee
representing the Stste immigration Asso
citation, appointed to go to Washington
in the interest of deep water at some one
point on the coast OF Texas, reported to
Secretary Chiffon as follows:
We explained 10 the delegation the Oh
ject of our visit and endeaVored to urge
upon them as earnestly and as fOrcibly as
we knew how the importance anu neCes
sity OF concentrating their efferts for 3
deep water port at some point on oul
coast, as recommended by the
immigration C.nvention Of Texas,
and as set forth in
the address of the committee. In tn E
Sppesl for concea "a ion we assured the
delegation that We believed we voiced the
sentiment and wishes of the people gener.
ally OF our state. We emphasized that
the commercial and agricultural interests
of the state were seriously suffering fol
lack of q de- p water harbor; that the peo
pie were fast growing impatient and In
tolerant of system which the experience
of fifteen years had demonstrated to be s
delusion; that whilst we felt euthoriZ ed
TO urge the delegation to u0ity of action
for concentration, we we're not authorized
to submit any plans or to express
any preference for one place as
more suitable than another for a port;
that TO secure change of results, how
ever, we believe it absolutely necessary
to chsDge the ola plan of scattering
driblets and inadequate appropriations
An attentive hearing Rss given US By the
delegation, but we regret to report thai
the delegation seemed little disposed to
act IL harmony with the wishes of the
people of the state, as expressed in the
Dallas resolution. 1t WAS held by some
OF the delegation that it was impyacticable
to do SO, st least during the present
session Of Congress. Some Of the dele.
CATION were disposed TO defer to the
views OF the representatives from the
coast counties who were unwilling to &C
cept the proposition for concentration.
Although doubtful as TO what course TO
pursue, the delegation generally admitted
thst nothing practically had been accom-
plished, and expressed CREST anxiety to
relieve the state il in their power to do
SO. A few Of the delegation were willing
to concentrate. A few positively refused.
The rest appeared undecided.
The above we have the honor to sub
NIT to indicate the result Of our efforts
We regret TO add thst the facts do not
warrant the hope that such action
will be as early taken by our delegation
in Congress as in our judgment will be
calculated to secure for Texas her want,
deep water port. We deem 1t proper
that the facts should be known to all,
rather than the puolic be left under de-
lusive hope to be mislesG and dissp-
pointed. We beg TO submit for the con-
sideration Of the people of Texas il it is
not wiser for them to abandon all hope
for relief and themselves to secure at
least one frst-class port on their coast
