Hunting the Evil One.

Intense excitement was created at
Goochland, Va, during a church meet
ing by the appearance of Amy Boggs, a
small colored girl, in the congregation

children ran in all directions. Some
women tainted, others tumbled in the
mud, and the girl was soon in possession
of the church, her eyes glaring and her
slight figure trembling with frenzy.
When she had driven the last person
from the chuch she cried out: "Now, l
want to see the devil" She was finally
overpowered by two constables, and, on
examination, showed that she was in a re.

to cut. Itwas fortunate that the congre-

have it reserved for few days, as he was
not prepared to purchase it then. "That
makes no difference" said the ieweler;
"take the ring and my address and pay
me when you are ready" Afterward,
having paid for this, the same lady and
gentleman were admiring diamond
studded watch and some other articles.
"But we cannot possibly buy them, +"
they explained; 1--WE can't spare the
money" The jeweler was irresistible.
''Just take them home with you," he
said, "and pay me IN six months, a year,
longer if necessary; you can have any
thing in the shop" Yet all he knew
about the travellers was their names and
their hotel. The jeweler said he had
sold thousands of dollars worth of goods
to travelling Americans on credit and had

A HindOO RObber.

A celebrated robber of Central India
has recently been captured and has made
a full confession of his life. His name is
Tantia Bheel. More than fifty years ago
he was arrested on false charge and
made his escape. He was rearrested,
served his term, was arrested again and
still again; but before his last term was
completed he made his escape and took
to robbery. He organized a band and
with them would swoop down on a
village, rob it of its best, perhaps burn
the village, and then take to the mount
aims. He has been called the Robin Hood
of India, because he robbed the rich to
help the poor. Last year he is said to
have distributed 5000 rupees among the
poor, and he has often purchased bullocks
to feed them. His name has been so
widely known that number of other
bands, he declares, are now committing
extensive robberies in his name.

A question upon which opinion was
much divided at the international botanic
congress, in Paris, was whether the grains
of corn found in the Egyptian sarcophagi
had any seminal virtue left. 1t appears
that most of the so-called mummy corn,
remarkable for streaks of tar on the sur
face and sold to TRAVELLERS in Egypt at the
rate of about 81 per twenty-five grains, is
a gross imposture. A gentleman who re-
ceived few grains from NJ. Maspero
himself planted them in various soils and
positions. A good many sprouted, some
even grew about two feet when they looked
like ordinary spring wheat, and then
rotted away, but none ever came to
maturity.

The peculiar methods Of a voodoo
doctor practicing at Madison, Ga, are
thus described; When he begins his
practice on patient he gets pot and
fills it with water and roots and puts it on
the fire to boil. While the water boils
he gets out in the floor and shakes him

crow, I'm an eagle, I'm king fisher, 4"
then goes over a lot of unintelligibe
incantations. He then makes the
patient look into the pot of boil
ing water until he can see the
one who tricked him. The patient is
visited frequently at night. The pot
with roots and medicines is boiled and
the patient must undergo a thorough
rubbing with the contents of the pot,
while the doctor, doing the rubbing, goes
over his incantations.

AFTER THE RAIN.

The sunset on the waters breast
Is casting down its mellowed light;
The clouds are floating into rest,
Before the night.
Now that the storm has passed away,
A parable Of nature lies
On path and field, for those who say
That they arc wise.
Beside the placid mere 1 stand,
And watch the rainbow's wondrous stain
A fragrance from the moistened land
Gives thanks for rain.
A twitter from unnumbered birds
That haunt the tangled howery ways
What is it but the simple words
OF love and praise?
We thank our Father for the light
In which His tenderness appears,
For sunny ieys-forgetting quite
To thank for tears;
Forgetting that His testament
Is written on the rainy skies
That blessed comforters are sent
For fearful eyes;
Forgetting he that goes in tears
To sow upon field of pain,
Shall come when harvest season nears
To gather grain.

How Wild Geese Guide Themselves.

One of the most interesting studies of
the habits of migratory fowl is the rare
intelligence which they show in guiding
themselves by prominent landmarks
An Englishman who was shooting in
Labrador some years since recently stated
that while in camp at the base of a range
of hills he was interested in observing
the precision with which hocks of wild
geese changed their course when directly
abreast of two prominences, conspicuous
objects in the landscape. At that point
they sweryed from west TO south. At
times the old ganders, leading flocks of
young birds, were greatly troubled in en-
forcing their orders for a shift of route.

Against Female Suffrage.

An appeal against female suffrage has
been made by number of women In the
Nineteenth Century. The women who
make the appeal are not by any means
obscure. Among the number are Lady
Randolph Churchill Mrs. HumphryWard,
Mrs. Huxley, Mrs. Goschen, Mrs. Matthew
Arnold and others whose husbands are
hardly less we'll known. The force of the
appeal lies mainly in the fact that it if
made by women. The occasion of it is
the movement to secure by an act of
Parliament the recognition of the prin-
ciple of the political equality of men
and women. One point in the argument
is that women are disqualified physically
by the fact of sex from many of the
duties which men are called upon to
perform. They cannot enter into the
army and navy, and participation in
affairs of finance, commerce, shipping,
railways, mines and kindred pursuits is
subject to inconvenience which, in most
cases, will prevent women from reaching
the same degree of eminence as men.
The appeal admits that women are af-
fected, to some extent, by all these
things, but claims that they possess prac-
tical influence in proportion to their abil-
ASJ ~ PoiekeiPhtO III puO hOdNy WOTk Iu6u
have to do. Whatever rests on force, it
is submitted, should be left to men.
The argument is also offered that women
are fiercer partisans than men. Stand
ing without the sphere of action they
serve to check the ardor of men, but if
they were active their natural impulsive-
ness would lead them into excesses
which men avoid. 1t is apprehended
ais that women without character would
obtain a prominence in affairs out of
proportion to their merit. Modest
women would retire from the
field into which characterless women
entered in force. After giving these rea-
sons why women should not be made
politically equal with men the appeal
adds another, which, while it remains
true, is conclusive. The assertion is
made that majority of women do not
want political equality, and tnat there
is no oppression which warrants q de-
mand for it. Men make as good laws
for them as they could make for them.

GOVERNOR THAYER, of Nebraska, in

got off very good thing when he said
that the Grand Jury of Cook county, Hi

with the murder of DR.. Cronin, than in
discovering the true murderer. This is
fact which must have struck most read

SOME of the friends of Justice Field, of
the United States Supreme Court, who
has just returned to San Francisco from
Washington, seem to fear that Judge
Terry will make an attack upon him
when they first meet. A reporter of the
Examiner has dished up an interview
with the United States Justice, in which
some very ridiculous remarks as we'll as
"reminiscences are ascribed to that
gentleman. Justice Field is not q
man to borrow any trouble about
q personal attack from Judge Terry or
anybody else; and it is not at all likely
that Judge Terry has any desire to make
an attack upon Justice Field. II the
friends of Justice Field were desirous Of
bringing about personal collision, they
could not have taken a course that would
be more likely to lead to it than they
have. 1t must be remembered that Field
is a man of nerve, and at one time re-
cognized the code; and to urge the JUS
tice to keep out of Terry's way, and thus
show that he is afraid to meet him, is
just the way to get Mr.. Fields argonautic
dander up.

For years the HERALD has been advo'
eating small instead of large vineyards
We have shown that much better results
can be had from vineyards that are under
the constant care and eye Of the proprie-
tor than from those that are too large
for his personal attention. The expert
ence in this State has been against large
vineyards. We know of none that can
be written of as a success. Some OF our
up.country contemporaries, we are glad
to say, are beginning to adopt our views.
Here is paragraph from the Call which
is almost a reproduction of what the
HERALD has said time and again these
many years:
The chief obstacle to the production OF
fine wine in this State is the mania for
large vineyards. Excellence in quality
is incompatible with abundance in quan.
tity. To produce the highest grade, OF
wine the vinegrower must treat his
vineyard as if it were nursery for
blooded stock. He must know every
vine, as he would know every animal,
and treat it according to its nature and
idiosyncrasy. 1t is thus that the highest
attributes of the plant have been devel'
oped in France.
