Negro Superstitions.

Among the superstitions Of southern
negroes are those which make it most
unfavorable thing to see black cat
crossing ones path, or to turn back
without making 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 a very
strange fashion. A negro called on
witch doctor, 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 a big pine tree, mark
a cross on the body and shoot this with
silver bullet, the cross representing
the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite a
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.

Ex-Empress Eugene,

The ex-Empress Eugene has settled
down into the solitude which best ena-
bles her to endure her memorable and
cumulative sorrows. Her tall, sad fig
ure goes in and out among us with only
the recognition of silent sympathy. The
empress likes to have communication
with as few people as possible For
instance, when she shops-she does her
own shopping-she likes to be waited
on by the same salesman always. I
was witness of an incident of this sort
the other day. The empress walked
into we'll known west end shop and
asked for Mr.. -. naming one Of the
head men. She was told he was out,
whereupon she remarked that she would
call again and went away. ! was told
that she certainly would come again;
that Mr.. always waited on her,
and that she would not be served by
any one else.-London Western Mail.

GENIUS is INDIFFERENT.
Surroundings Have Naught TO Do With the
Thread of Thought

Surroundings Have Naught TO Do With the
Thread of Thought.
1t might be conjectured perhaps that
SCOTS and Byron genius was favored
by the circumstances of their birth,
that the wild scenes in which Scott's
infancy was passed, and the local leg
ends with which his head was filled 5e-
termined him to ballad writing. and
that the ballad writing led naturally in
its turn to romance, and that the high
station and undisciplined liberty of
Byron's childhood fostered that passion
ate self will and brooding imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse. This, we
say, might perhaps be conjectured with
some probability. and the like might be
said of Wordsworth s infancy.
But how shall we maintain that the
conditions of Keats cockney birth in a
livery stable or his education in dis
secting room favored the growth of that
most delicate and rich type or almost
Hellenic clearness and beauty of imag-
nation? And how shall we maintain
that Dickens mental task in the cork
ing of backing bottles fostered the
growth of that wonderful humor and
that microscopic accuracy of vision
which filled the world with laughter
and with inimitable caricature such as
no comedy, not even Moliere's, had an
ticipated?
Again, who would have ventured to
predict that wild, 'despotic, Irish evan
gelical spirit like Patrick Bronte, BAN
ished to the bleakest of Yorkshire moors,
would have been the father of children
SO eager, original and vivid in their rev.
cries as those who eventually produced
the unique passion of Ellis and Currer
Bells genius? So far as we know any,
thing of the origin of genius, that orr
gin is usually surprise.
1t is the rare exception, and not the
rule, when we find Chatham succeeding
in producing such dollhouse flower as
William Pitt, or James Mill succeeding
in celebrating specimen more perfect
than himself of thinker of his own
type, in the studious, diligent, diffuse,
lucid and rather dreary logician and
economist who left his mark on the
English philosophy Of the third quarter
of this century. Nor do we ever find in
rare instances of this sort the higher
kinds of original genius. Pitt and John
Stuart Mill were considerable triumphs
of training for purpose, but that pur-
pose was a very limited enc and had
none of the largeness and freshness of
vitality which attaches to original gen
ius.-London Spectator.

MARE ANTclNETTE.


October lG, l7e3.''
A hundred years ago Today
The trcacherous city of the Seine
Sent forth her heartlcss rayriads gay
To mock q friendless woman's pain.
Light mirth and laughter everywhere,
AS though solae Ruptial pageant came,
Awake the bright autumnal air,
No touch of ruin, no thought OF shame.
Roofs, easements, flag draped balconies
Afirc nth cruel, gloating eyes;
fostering below with curses loud.
Fenced back by steel the tigerish crowd.
Till the slow tumbril rolls in sight
Fronting the gathering roar, the howl
The jests obscene, the insults foul,
And Il fair mother roDed in white
Sits bound. with bleaching hair, a queen
For all the sufferngs that have been.
Who casts no glance on either side,
Untouched by shame or fear or pride.
Calm lips, from which no word may come
Though the priest pray, serenely dumb
Surely deaths bitterness is past,
And it's deliverance comes at last.
Till, as she nears the palace home
Void of the treasures of her love.
Some poignant memory seems to come,
Some pang that widowed heart to move.
And then the end! Sad, murdered queen,
Poor mother, slain for others wrong.
Guiltless thou Dearest what has been,
The sum of dark expressions long.
Still down century of years
To death thou passest, white robed, fair,
The calm eyes that had shed their tears,
The silent lips, the faded hair.

Ocean CannibaIs,

Such fierce carniverous fishes as exist in
the depths of the ocean are unknown at
the surface There is 'black swallower,"
which devours other fnny creatures 10
times as big as itself, literally climbing
over its victim, first with one jaw and then
with the other. Another species is nearly
all mouth, and having no power of locomo-
ton it lies buried in the soft ooze at the
bottom, its head alone protruding, ready
to engulf any prey that may wander into
its cavernous jaws. There is a ferocious
kind of shark, resembling a huge eel. All
of these monsters are black as ink Some
of them are perfectly blind, while others
have enormous, gogghng eyes. No ray of
sunlight ever pierces the dark, unfathomed
caves in which they dwell. Each species is
gobbled by the species next bigger, for
there is no vegetable life to feed on.-Spare

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

A .RoURDsMAN ACCUSED.

Policemen Say That Hopkins Perse-
cutes Them.
It is probable that at the next meeting of
the Police Board accusations of persecution
may be made against Roundsman Hopkins
of the First precinct by patrolmen. They
complain of the roundsman's manner in
making the rounds, on Sunday mornings
particularly. It is alleged by some thatwhile
on duty he frequently enters restaurants
takes his time eating his breakfast and
finally attends early church while still on
duty The actions of the roundsnan in con-
tinually preferring charges of a trifiug
characteragainst men emanates from the
refusal of the latter to pay the
S5 election assessment The men
who say they are being prosecuted
are, strangely enough, democrats Hopkins
is "a republican. Instances are cited where
Hopkins, while off duty, has gone on posts
covered by certain men, and tried doors and
windows with the hope Of being able to
charge negligence.
The accusers have gone to Chief Murphy
and complained and asked that they be given
the same courtesy that is extended to other
officers. An investigation may reveal some
sensational facts.
