A Leaf S54 Years Old.

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS. TEX. Oct. 10.-Dr. Wilson Of this city
has great curiosity in the way Of an ancient
manuscript. It is q leaf from the book of
Deuteronomy and was written in the year of our
Lo I'd 1895. and is therefore S5i years OF age. It
is on parchment, and the penmanship is abso-
lutely perfect. The letters all perfectly
formed and the lines are as even and regular S
if printed in the highest style. Each chapter
begins with large initial lstter done in a num-
Der of colors arranged in the most artistic man
ner. The work on this ne leaf alone must
have taken months of patient toll, as the per-
feet lettering and skillful coloring required
both time and training. 1t IS in the Latin LAM
guage and the old English text was used. This
valuable relic was a present to the doctor from
government official during his recent visit to
Philadelphia. and he prizes it very highly.

By reason Of the multifarious ways in which
railway employees have been asserting them
selves OF late, the twenty-seven:h annual con-
veution OF the International Brotherhood OF Lo-
connective Engineers, which is to be held at
Pltsburg on DC ODER IL. viii attract more at
tenion from railroad oRicials AMI the members
Of o her trainmeu's association than is custom
airy TO be bestowed on similar conventions. The
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has time
ana again manifested its strength and influence,
the future policy OF every association of railroad
men in the country will be based.
Ever since the strike of the knights on the
New York Central failed, owing to the refusal
OF the engineers to join hands with the strikers.
the United Order of Railway Employees. which
embraces the Brotherhood of Railway Conduc-
tors, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
aud the SUi'chmen's mutual aid association,
has realized the benefits which would come from
an alliance with the engineers and has invited
them TO become members OF the federation.
This invitation will have the greatest considera-
tion at the coming convention OF the enrineers,
and should they agree to accept it the railway
employees will have an organization greater in
power than any heretofore existing.

county records and all furniture
belonging to Gilmore to Mountain
Home forthwith. The Commits
sioners promptly and unanimously
denied the request, giving as their
reasons that there was no law in
the statutes or the bill creating Ell
more and Logan counties requiring
or authorizing them to make such
an order, and that they had full
filled all requirements of the law
by counting and declaring the re-
suit of the election. Mr.. Shaw
seemed astounded at the decision
of the Board, and early the next
morning departed for Boise to COM
mence suit against the Commission
ers to try and compel them to issue
his much desired order. Hence
there will be music in the air on
county seat removal for an indef-
mite time.
1t will be remembered that early
in the summer the Bulletin assert
ed that, let the county seat election
60 either way, there would be "nuts
for the courts to crack" and its
prediction is verified. Every law
point is in favor of Rocky Bar and
it is not now likely that Mountain
Home will ever gain the coveted
prize.
There are several other points in
favor of this place that will be
brought to light in court, such as
conflicting sections of law occurring
in the constitution and the old stat
utes, and illegal votes cast on
county seat that may yet cause the
throwing out of several precincts in
the county.
Our people may rest easy on the
removal of the county seat for sew
eral years to come, but meantime
they should not forget the twenty
five traitors who have thrived in
our midst.

Thousands Of Southern Negroes still Be
IIeve in FetIches.

Thousands Of Southern Negroes still BE-
lIeve 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
Portuguese word meaning magic, and is
any thing in nature or art to which magic
power is ascribed, such as stones, or GER
tain parts Of plants, animals, etc. Curl
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 practiced considerably
In some Of the Southern States by ne
groes who are believed to possess special
powers, and TO be able by the prepara-
ton 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 q colored man by the name
of Johnston, who had killed another
named Davis, the former having
in his possession charm which had
been given to him by an aged negro
named Orange Issacs, q voodoo con-
jurer, who assured him that it
would protect him from all dan
ger as q result Of his crime. The OBJ
ject of the murder was TO enable the
criminal to marry the widow of the
murdered man. Tho 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 brakes foot, the whole being
sewed up in a small cotton bag, which
he was to wear over his heart next to
his skin. This, 1t was claimed, would
obtain for him the love Of the woman
whom he desired. In addition to this
he was 20 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 tria
was going on. Curiously enough, tw,
of the men composing the jury wers
taken violently i'll and others had to b,
substituted for them. Johnston wa
found guilty and was sentenced to b,
hanged. Three hours after the sentenc,
the sheriff of the county. whose business
It was to hang him--a robust man In thu
prime Of health--dropped dead. TIT
I murderer was. however. executed. Z.
