Trapped by His Superstition.

From the Atlanta Constitution
A Georgia negro was once convicted of a
murder in a novel and unexpected manner.
A friend of his had been found dead in
the woods, with his right arm chopped off
by an ak, the dismembered arm not being
found with the body. He was eXonerated
by a coroner's jury. but some young men
in the neighborhood, knowing certain su-
perstitions of his, visited his house late one
night and called his name in hollow tones:
"Ephraim! Ephraim Rise en- heah de
dead!'
"Who dat?" called weak and wavering
voice from within.
''The sperrit er Benjamin." said the voice
without. Il come ter ak you whar my arm
is. l can't res in my grave tell 1 fin my
arm!''
go long fun heah!' walled the negro
from within. Il amt got yo arm! burnt
it up in de fire."
That answer settled the question of his
guilt

ers go from one church to another, but in
the majority of the districts they have
"fantasticals, "ragamutiins" and Gala
thumpians" In the eastern cities of late
years there has been developed "a new kind
of ragamuflinism, which on account of its
humorous character will probably last
many seasons. 1t consists in children
putting on masks and ridiculous garments,
forming into little squads and making
"make believe" calls upon the houses of
their respective members. The practice
has grown rapidly and in many of the
larger eastern cities is carried on by thou
sands of light hearted little folks.
An extraordinary and unpleasant Gus
tom has been developed in New York city.
On the last night of the old year "A good
natured mob assemblies on Broadway with
Trinity church as focus and there at the
stroke of ~ breaks out into hurricane
of discord with fish horns, megaphones,
tomtoms, clappers, cat calls, horse fiddles
and other instruments of chaos. The noise
is SO great as TO utterly swallow up the
sweet music of the chimes and can be
heard miles in every direction. In the
German communities schuetzen parties
have become a feature of the day and bring
out small regiments of genial rilemen
children. In many districts there is no
ticeable tendency toward making the day
memorable by athletic sports and con-
tests Last year in more than 80 of the
large cities of the Union there were Gale
DOMAIN games upon an extensive scale,
and in nearly every instance the enterprise
was "a success. If the weather were mild
upon the day, there is no doubt that the
institution would become exceedingly pop
ular
In all the seaports east and west there
is hearty celebration of the day by the
ships and steamers lying at the wharfs
or in the harbor. Nearly every craft makes
it point to keep open house and both
officers and engineers make and return
calls from 10 a. IN. until late hour in the
evening The ancient Knickerbocker Gus
tom survives in the growing practice of
mayors and governors holding official re-
captions upon the day. These are now al
most national in character and seem to be
enjoyed as much by the public as by the
politicians WILLIAM T.. :. FALEs.

I'd know "Old Hundred" from a jig, I

The tunes that ! could name amt more'n

But there is one among 'em that'll make my

You start up Yankee Doodle" and I'm

There's somethin' In its snappy dash that

OF what there Is a-beatin' In Yankee fell

There's somethin' in its life and go that

And seems ter ~ the colors OF the old

Until yer want ter tell the flag a-wavin'

And now they say they need us once ag'in
TO take a stand
And make a livin' breastwork round the
shores of Yankeeland
To drive the "children's butcher" from the
island In the sea
And sponge the bloody blotches off the
skirts of liberty;
And, If the country wants my help to make
