This uniformed urchin keeps an &C.

growing rapidly, too. The ether day
he went in 10 deposit fifty cents.
The teller, with more than his GUS
tomary haughtiness, informed the
boy that deposits of less than one
dollar could not be received by the
bank. The youngster wasted not q
word in argument, but walked quiet
ly to a desk, wrote check. for one
dollar and presented tue same at the
window Of the paying teller. The
check was honored, of course. Then
the carrier Of messages revisited the
receiving teller.
"I'd like to deposit dollar and q
half, if you please" he said.
The deposit was accepted and the
receiving teller was very much chag'
rined.

Negro superstitions.

Among the superstitions of southern
negroes are those which make it a 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-congressman tells of a case in
this section within the past 80 years in
which a witch was killed in very
strange fashion. A negro called on a
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 per-
son on the bark of a 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.

GENIUS is INDIFFERENT.
Surroundings Have Naught to Do with til
:, =. ~, -, ,xy,t

Surrounding Have Naught to Do with the
Thread Of Thought.
1t might be con ectured perhaps that
Soott's and Byron s 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 de-
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 viii 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
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-
inationP 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 filed the world with laughter
and with inimitable caricature such az
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 a 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 very limited enc and had
none of the largeness and freshness Of
vitality which attaches to original gen.
