Among the superstitions of southern
negroes are those which make it n most
unfavorable thing to see 81 black cat
crossing ones path, or to turn back
without making Il cross" in the street,
road or path. The belief in witches
is perhaps more general than any other,
and an ex-congressmant tells of case in
this section within the past 80 years in
which a witch was killed in very
strange fashion. A negro called on n
witch doctor. a very old woman, and
was told that the cause of the trouble
was a witch and that she must be kill
ed; that the only way possible to thus
put her out of the way was to go into
the woods and cut the figure of a per
son on the bark of big pine tree, mark
a cross on the body and shoot this with
a silver bullet, the cross representing
the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite
number of persons. This occurred in
the northern part of this county. Ce-
dar balls are carried in the pockets as
a protection against witches. The ne
gro belief in these is certainly fully
matched by that of white men who car
ry in their pockets buckeyes and Irish
potatoes, or who wear thick iron rings
on their fingers as preventive of rheu-
matism.-Cor. Washington Star.

BRooKLINE, Mass, Feb. 8, 1884,
To THE EDITOR OF THE Troy BUDGET
DEAR SIR: 1 was glad to make your
acquaintance in Washington, and to
find you on the side of annexation as
regards the Ha waiian Islands.
In my boyhood days was surroud-
ed by an atmosphere of politics and
had some training in the printing
Office, the Office of the Argus and
Spectator of my native town, New
port, n. III.
AS you were In your earlier career
Democrat you may perhaps recall
a campaign paper published by the
Argus and Spectator both in the
presidential campaign of 1910 and
IA under the name OF the Wing and
Star.
In the publication of the second
edition Of that paper--1S44-I had
some part as printers devil"
In those days and before, when the
Albany Regency was a power in the
land, the Albany Argus and the
Washington Globe were the political
gospels in my fathers household as
they were in every Democratic home
of New Hampshire. Since ] grew
up my interest in politics has known
no abatement during my more than
forty six years of naval life.
L need not say to veteran politi
clan, an editor like yourself, that the
Democratic party of Jefferson, Madi
son, jackson, Polk, Pierce, Marcy.
Wright, Dix, Dickinson, Buchanan
and other giants of the olden time,
used to have pronounced, courageous
and vigorous foreign policy-that
those great men, founders and lead
ers of the party, bore as true and
high minded conceptions Of the inter
ests, the dignity and the destinies of
the United States as regards the ex-
tension of their domain and their
commercial and political advantages
and power as the politicians and
statesmen of the present day can
have.
L submit that when a people or a
nation stops all progress in the way
of extension of territory and of COM
mercial dominance, their days of de
cadence is already begun. To such
affirmation witness the unceasing
efforts of the principal powers of
Europe to extend their possessions
and to increase their interests of
traffic and political control in order
to employ their people, diversity
their Industries. and bring receipts
into their treasures. I believe it
will be fatal mistake if the United
States concludes to let the Hawaiian
Islands go by default to some other
fag-and hope you will continue
your editorial efforts in behalf of
speedy annexation.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE T.. BELKNAP.

Sweets of Solitude.

Sheep and geese become restless when
separated from the flock: the eagle and
lion seek isolation. From quiet and
solitude spring the greatest thoughts,
inventions and formation. Our most
valuable acquisition in the time of our
development through nature, art and
circumstance is the fruit of hours spent
in quietude, desirable for our growing
youth and absolutely essential for our
future philosopher, poet and artist

DIR. MARDEN's WEDDING.

The many friends of DR.. A. E. Mar
den in Danville and vicinity will be
interested in the following account
of his wedding from the Neodosha,
Kan, Register.
Miss Belle Greene OF Fredonia and
DR.. A. E. Marden, formerly OF Allen
town, Pa, were married al the
home Of the brides parents in Fredo-
DINA, on Wednesday. April 18th, at
$50 D. N. The bride and groom
departed the same night for San
Francisco, Cal, where they will visit
the Mid winter Fair. From thence
they expect 10 go by steamer to San
Diego and other points in the land
of fruit and flowers, after which
they will go TO Sacatop, Arizona,
where DR.. Marden will resume his
duties as government physician for
the Penia Indians. The wedding
was quite brilliant affair, though
only the most intimate friends were
present. The bride was attired in d
dress of white silk and lace, over
which fell beautiful white silk bri-
dial vail. Her only ornaments besides
her personal charms were delicate
white rosebuds. Her brother and
sister, Charles E., and Fanny, acted
as groomsman and bridesmaid, Miss
Fannie being dressed in light cream
silk. Numerous presents from dis
tant relatives and friends and from
those at home graced the reception
room. Miss Greene was one OF Ere
donia's most amiable and popular
young ladies and will be missed in
the social circles of our sister city.
The groom stands high in his pro-
tesslon and IS IN every way worthy
of his winsome bride.
DR.. A. E. Marden was the oldest
son of Rev. A. L. Marden, who was
pastor of the Congregational church
in Piermont for more than twenty
years. He died in 1882 and was
buried IN the village cemetery. DR..
A. E. and Rev. ". E. Marden, pas
tor OF church in Morrisville, Pa,
were graduates from Dartmouth
College. They did not graduate
until after the death OF their father.
DR.. Marden was also a graduate at
the Medical University in Boston.
He practiced for a short time IN Dan
vile, VT; from there he received his
appointment as government physi-
clan for the PenIa Indians.

ATLANTA SEMINARY.

The Advance, Published by the
Baptist Seminary at Atlanta, Ca,
contains this notice OF the presidency
of Rev. S. Graves, who is we'll
known hereabouts:
''In the fall of 1856 Rev. DR.. Sam
uel Graves, of Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan, was appointed TO the presiden-
cy of the seminary. Having had
large experience as pastor and ed
ucator, he brought the highest quail
ifcations to his new position.
"a that time the institution was
conducted IN the building at the
corner of Elliot and West Hunter
streets, which it soon outgrew.
This need of larger and better quar-
tiers, DR.. Graves began at once to
provide for.
"Of wide acquaintance and pOpu
laritv at the North, his earnest ef
forts and vigorous appeals for mon
ely for this purpose were not barren
of beneficial results. In less than
four years after his appointment he
raised SOS, 500 the requisite amount
to purchase a choice site of fourteen
acres on West Fair street and erect
thereon the beautiful and commo-
dious building which IS now the
home OF the seminary.
GAS the outcome of further efforts
on his part 70 give additional ac-
commodations to the institution,
$40, 900 from the Cook legacy, Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,, will be spent
in finishing and furnishing a COM
Portable and substantial structure
108 feet long and three stories above
basement in which all class work of
the seminary Will hereafter be done.
I'm the fall OF 90, feeling that the
cares and responsibilities of his office
were too burdensore for him, he
resigned the presidency of the semi
nary that he might devote his whole
attention to the department of
theology.
During his administra tor, DR..
Graves raised about $4,000 for
lifting this work TO a higher plane
that it might be a more effective
agency for the uplift OF man and for
the glory of God"
