This expression was greeted with sp-

AND THE CANVASS PaocEEDED.
In several instances it was found that the
letter OF the law had not been followed in
the matter of writing the result on the
backs of the tally sheets. Indeed, the in
srection of the returns disclosed the fact
that but few OF the election officers had
read or understood the provisions OF the
Law prescribing their duties.
The result of the canvass gave the same
figures as yare published in the RECORD

except that few more scattering votes

Cause of Disease as Given by the
Scientific Men OF the Age.

Monsieur Pasteur, who for years has made them
a special study, first discovered that these mi
mute insects were the cause Of spreading the
most deadly contagious through their astonish-
ing rapidity of reproduction. Pasteur discov-
cred them In myriads In human blood, In sheep,
rabbits and rats. He found that the Microbe
was the direct cause OF the variolosis, or small
ox-BronohItis. Yellow Fever and other con
tagious diseases.
The microbe, In the human system attacked
by variolosis, Is threadlike, cylindrical and
somewhat swelled. II Is the smallest of all
powerfully magniied animal organisms. IL
breeds by the thousand per minute. Pasteur,
after making a close study OF microbes. discov-
cred that the quickest way 10 exterminate them
was by the free inhalation of oxygen gas. or by
liquids charged with that gas, but admits that
the time must come when some powerfulliquid
will be discovered that will effectually destroy
the microbe. and that the liquid must contain
such gaseous combinations as will directly de
stroy IN the human body those germs or microb-
es Of diseases.

The Results of Regularity.

The fact that millions of people in Christendom believe in regular habits is not good or conclusive evidence of the correctness of the assumption. It will be observed that all persons who turn their stonnachs into clocks or time pieces and eat on time to the minute, generally become gourmands, big stomached, eat twice as much as they need and die early. Any person who will eat three meals per diem by the clock, or take three drinks of ardent spirits regular every day at a certain hour, or take a dose of opium morning, noon and night on time, they will soon get so that they will demand double meals, double the quantity of liquor and, it may be, five times the amount of opium. Every practitioner knows this to be true. Well, you ask what is the remedy-where is your sub stitute2 It is sinsply to eat and drink moderately when you become hungry, and drink when you are thirsty.

VOOOOO WORSHiPERS.
Thousands of Southern Negroes Still Be
 ieye in Feeiches.

1nOuSdnus OF southern NegrOeS SIlll Be-
 Iieye in Fetiches.
 The most superstitious people in the world, perhaps, are the negroes, among whom any combination of odds and ends as incongruous as the ingredients of the witches hell broth in Macbeth becomes "fetich." This expression comes from a Portuguese word meaning magic, and is any thing in nature or art to which magic power is ascribed, such as stones, or cer- tain parts of plants, animals, etc. Curi- ously enough, all the civilization which has surrounded the negroes in the South ern States has, according to the Chicago Journal, not been sufficient to disarm their belief in fetiches. "Voodoo," or fetichism, is still prac ticed considerably in some of the Southern States by ne- groes who are believed to possess special powers, and to be able by the prepara- tion of certain charms to bring about whatever their patrons may desire. In 1881 criminal trial occurred in Sumter County, s. C., in which the defend ant was colOred man by the name of Johnston, who had killed another named Davis, the former having in his possession a charm which had been given to him by an aged negro named Orange Issacs, a voodoo con iurer, who assured him that it would protect him from all dan ger as result of his crime. The ob- ject of the murder was to enable the criminal to marry the widow of the murdered man. The charm given him by the conjurer was composed of bees wax, foXs' hair, a little sand from the shoe of the person who was to be killed and a drake's foot, the whole being sewed up in small cotton bag, which he was to wear over his heart next to his skin. This, it was claimed, would obtain for him the love of the woman whom he desired. In addition to this he was to get charmed bullet which he was to fire at Davis. The negro thus protected shot his rival, buried him and proceeded to take possession of the widow, who, as it appeared, was no wise reluctant. The body was found and various circumstances traced the crime to Johnston, who was put on trial. The jury comprised nine whites and three blacks, and vast throng of negroes sur rounded the courthouse while the trial was going on. Curiously enough, two of the men composing the jury were taken violently ill and others had to be substituted for them. Johnston was found guilty and was sentenced to be hanged. Three hours after the sentence the sheriff of the county, whose business it was to hang him-a robust man in the prime of health-dropped dead. The murderer was, however, executed.
