mer walked over to the young man ana
saluted him. "now do you do? You
are Mr.. Foss, of Oakland, are you not?
Glad to see you.'
..Glad to see you, too,' replied the
other. ''olily my name is Webster, of
North Arson, not Foss, of Oakland"
The drummer sauntered off and com
municated the name to the Portland
young man as soon as convenient. The
latter waited until he supposed the I'M
suspicious Arson man had forgotten
the incident. and then, meeting him by
accident as he walked across the office,
held out his hand and enthusiastically
exclaimed:
why, Webster, how are you?
How are the folks i'm AnsOn"
Webster said not word and moved
not q feature; but, drawing his arm
back quick as lightning, delivered a
blow right between the eyes of the
Portland young man.
His name wasn't Webster, and he
wasn't from North Arson. but he was
in dead earnest, if the young man from
Portland wasn't.

Drunken Members.


Senator Frye is sometimes laughed at
because he opposed the sale of whisky
in the senate restama ant, and compelled
resort to the subterfuge of "cold tea"
OF whisky served in teacup. But the
senator's protest against the open sale
of spurious liquors is only one of the
signs of developing criticism of the
use of liquor in an open way about con-
gress. His position is a great advance
upon that of the mass of congressman
i'm service here twenty-five years ago.
At that time whisky was not more OBJ
jectiOnable as beverage than water.
/ am told by an old employee that at the
beginning of the Thirty-eighth con-
gress the room of one of the principal
clerks of the house was always supplied
with at least a bottle of whisky, that
stood out upon table free to all COM
ers as soon as the superior clerk had
given the signal by taking the first
drink. Three prominent men, from as
many different states, made this room
"badging' resort, and it was not a rare
sight to see champagne opened by the
case for the promotion of some interests
in the house, the celebrated congress
men making it a point to be on hand
whenever the champagne was fixing.
This liquor, was supplied by men VINO
were disposed to keep the members of
the house in good hnmor. and to sub
due any violent opposition that might
otherwise be developed. Two of the
celebrated drunkards of that time have
gone to place where there can be no
use for lobbyists. The third is still
here. but has reformed and has "raZ.
zle-dazzle" time of it at long intervals
Champagne is still to be had in the res
taurants of both houses. and whisky
without disguise in one of them. But
in the open committee rooms the whisky
bottle has given way to the ice pitcher
which neither cheers nor inebriateS
The habitually drunken member is now
almost as extinct as the dodo, and the
free drink of 1864 is a spiritual remi

Dead Bodies for Charms.
Fl. A. Pierce, of Topeka. Kan, sends
the following communication to the
Religio-Philosophical Journal, of this
city: In the last issue of the Journal
L noticed an account of an old supersti-
ton that DR.. Bloch calls attention to
in regard to the mutiatiOn of corpses
for the manufacture of "eharms."
This may be, and probably is, very
''Old superstition" but it exists in our
own land to-day, and especially among
the negroes of the South, We need not

teenth or eighteenth century to find its
practice. In the spring of 1877 | was
residing at Star City, Lincoln. county,
Ark. engaged in the practice of law.
A young colored woman had died and
had been buried near the Arkansas
river. Some time after the burial the
grave was found open, the top of the
coffin torn OFT, and two fingers from the
right hand of the corpse had been
removed.
Great excitement ran through the en-
tire community, and especially among
the negroes. Diligent search was made,
and by accident one of the fingers was
found on shelf in cabin, where
cOlored preacher" boarded Suspicion
pointed to him and a young man or boy
who had been with him. They were
both arrested and, under the influence
of fear, the boy about eighteen or
twenty years old confessed, and told
the following story: The preacher had
told him that he had wonderful power,

could both be rich. That if he could
get the finger from the right hand of q
dead woman, the hair from cross eyed
man, the skin from negro'S heel, a
lock from a red-haired person. and the
finger and toe nails from an unmarried
person, stewed and fried in lard mixed
with little blood, it would make a can
die that would render themselves invis-
IDLE, and would also make all others upon
whom its light was thrown invisible:
and by il they could enter stores and
dwellings with impunity, and rob at
pleasure. The boy became enlisted, and
they had together opened the grave and
taken two fingers-one for each of them

ingredients for this wonderful ''spell
caster" At the trial | defended the
prisoners and they were discharged, be-
cause the law was so framed that the
mutilatiOn of the corpse constituted no
Offense under the law. l made extern
sive inquiries after that, and found that
this is not Onlya very old superstition but
has been quite prevalent among certain
of the blacks of the South, and es-
pecially in Louisiana. 1t is only another
phase of ''voudouism" that has come
down from remote barbaric ages and
been transplanted from the wild jungles
of Africa to these shores. But where
our "German friends obtained the

answer. 1t is the same old superstition.
