'J'l: oiviii'M of Kiaves generally treated them
kiniliy. Tin-y -ci-tautly did not overwork
them. I well rernemlier tho first time I
walked out from the villao anion; the j
farms. I saw fiftoc 11 nbl liodied negroes sit
ting like k'i many black crows on the top rail
of a f ik o at !' end of a cornfield. It was
l :ti nf I r 1') in the momini;. There was
ii- s!:ivt; ilriver, with wlii in Land, mounted
ou a Loie, as 1 had expected to see. The
men who wero resting, and whoso mules
were '.it in.; corn leaves, were bent out to
.:. w corn. I hiked the man who was near
er t to me if anything wan the matter. "Oh,
n, ii i s.i, I..; aiiswcrea: "we was jes.3
n-v.nit in;; Tor il horn to blow for dinner."
i found that was nU.ut a samplo of the way
hlaves worked, or rather rested.
On Safim lay I was Mirprita.il to find most
of tho in ro jioj'iilatioii in town. Many of
them brought' in wood cut on massa's place,
which they hold ami received the pay for.
The money they sj-nt as they choso. Others
were !rii--d ia their Sunday clothes nm Iliad
come i;ito t..n .simply to have a oxl time.
I found t'.Kit nearly every blare hiul u plot of
ground of his own tm which he raised to
barcn, sweet I-! a toes and other things, which
ho sold for the puri-j of obtaining spending
money. The tvo weeks that included the
winter holidays was the timeof jubilee when
nearly every slave worked for whom he chose
iuu! had the money he earned. If masters
ami mistresses deired to have their own
. lxiys and girls work ut home during the holi-
tlay s aio:i it was necessary to euga;e them
some time in advance. Such opportunities
for eurning money were unknown to boys
Jroiight upon New England farm, as my
old friend ami myself could testify to.
Tlio next thing that struck me as very
Strang" wm the strong attachment that ex
isted bf'i v. eeii the whites nill blacks that had
the s.ni'e home. Nearly every male slave re
jvirdfl his ow ner as the greatest man iu the
c-oui.'trv. lie tool: pride iu bim and boasted
;iVut hiiu wh'-uever there was an opior
tuniry. If 1" was treated pretty strictly or
even Severely he still thought massa was a
militv li man who hadn't time to waste
over comii;;.iii A-ople. Almost every slave,
old or young. Junked ou missus as a saint,
cjil was not far out of the way. The south
cm woman who was at the head of a large
family of whites and blacks was in a worse
condition of slavery than any person aliout
the plantation. There was a birth, marriage
or death in the family almost every week.
She was the coufulant of every one and the

as if ! i:au mistreatiil a son. In tracing up
the can .oof enmities between white families
I pencrjillv found them to h-j connected with
the tre.itiu. i.t cf slaves. Two nice girls in
u,y school r.cvcr talked together, I noticed,
though tla ' l lu::ged to the same class and
vcreg'-ucraf favorites. I wondered ct this
aa.l i7i'.ured aoout it. I learned that the

jp-andfathcr of the other girl and declined to
pologi;u for iu This occurred beforo my
pu i .ils were Uirn. 1 lot h parties to the quar
rel l:a I long been dead, but the quarrel was
not seiih-l, and I question if it is now.
There was a law iu Kentucky, as iu other
southern states, that forbid giving instruc
tion t slaves iri reading aud writing. Still,
I was ceiivir.vd that nil the bright negroes
wlo v.-.ait. 1 to le:irn to read did so. It is

The contact of tho African with a mighty
civilisation modified and softened his f Mich
ism, and today his superstition is of u, differ
ent fiber. He is a firm U I lever in a personal
d'ivil, anil uccepts him wifh nil time l:o:iorel
f tago properties horns, tail, cloven foot and
ml hot pitchfork. For protection against
this awful one tho negro wore tho greatest
iiatnl.'T of charms. To vr.r.I of.L:s famiUari
t!.-? v itches, every negro nailed to his cabin
door a hors'-sho-. This charm, however, had
no power unless it had been accidentally
found. Tho "white folks at tie big house"
were often presenU-d with one of these ifitcb
defiers, and if they failed to use it, the giver,
pityingly and surreptitiously, iiaihal it SDtue
whero ou "marsterV premises.
Old negro nurses teach their charges that
the tangles which after a night's sleep are
opt to apjx-ar in the hair ire knots tied by
witches, and everyljody in the southern
states is familiar with tho darkies' belief
that witches rido horses and mules in the
dead of night, exhausting thoir strength.
To ward oir tho approach of any of the
foul sisterhood silver dimes and five cent
pieces with a holo in them, strung on a cord
ami susjiended from the neck, are unrivcJed.
Ddils and ends of bones sni:ng together, and
olessed by a Voudoo priestess, constitute a
(Jrigri, which is a marvelous foil uguiust tho
Evil One. In southern Louisiana there are
largo numbers of negroes who believe that
certain other negroes have commerced imb
Kitan, receiving from him a liberal endow
ment of his diabolic powers. These are
known as "cunjur niggers," who can "hou
doo" you. To incur tae ill will of one of
them is a grievous misfortune.
As every negro, even the most debased, is
sure of salvation, and speaks with confidence
of his place in heaven, where he will "set at
do saino table ez de white folks," it is not
strauge that ho revels in signs portending
death. His heaven, like the Mussulman's, is
one of sensual delights, and corpses and fun
erals are to him a great joy. To put a black
pin into a child's dress, to try on any one's
mourning garments, to open an umbrella in
tho house, to break a looking glass, to carry
a spade through tho house, are nil signs of
douth. To drive a nail after dark, except in
making n coflin, will bring death; and any
man so unfortunate as to bury threo wives
will bury six. A spider seen in tho morning
brings good luck; at noon, disappoiutment;
and in tho evening, bad luck.
If accidentally a garment ba put on wrong
side out, and if it ho worn that way until
noon, and then turned, tho wearer will have
good luck. To give a knife or scissors to a
friend is to sever friendship, except, indeed, a
bent pin be given in return, which averts the
inqieuding rupture. The Roman Catbolio
negroes of southern Louisiana will not cut a
banana crosswise, because through its center
runs a dark streak, which if cut transversely
presents the appearance of a cross. To avoid
this sacrilege the fruit must bo broken.
Thoy accept tho Bible literally, and as they
receive it in most grotesque form from their
"preachers," it Is little wonder that their con
ception of things spiritual is distorted. With
out a pang of conscience they will eat the
chickens from a neighbor's hen roost, the pigs
from his pen, tho melons from his "patch,"
but cannot be induced to commit the unpar
donable sin of eating a dove.
If a black cat enters your house you will
receive niouey; nn itching palm denotes the
same thing, while an itching solo signifies
that you will travel. Should your right ear
burn, then some one is talking in your favor;
but if it be the left, the tongue is evilly en
treating you, aud you must immediately
ish that its owner may bite it. Should you
succeed in spitting iu your right ear, you
silence your enemy. It a knife, fork or
scissors in falling sticks up in tho floor, pre
pare for visitors; also if a bluck cock crows
three times in succession at the back door.
The possession of a frizzly hen means good
luck to the owner, while two frizzly hens de
note a measure of prosperity which rouses
the jealousy of "ole Satan."
There is a ludicrous belief that to step over
the outstretched legs of any one will stop his
further growth. But the evil spell will work
backward, for by stepping back over the
legs they resume their suspended work of de
velopment. No work in garden or Geld can bedono with
out regard to lunar phases. An old auntie iu
my family would never make soap except in
the full of the moon, and then the soap must
be stirred only one way. Her soap stick, of
rare virtues and greut ago, was believed to
have certain occult powers, which made it
popular amoDg tho soap making sillers.
Ask a uegro man why he wears a brass
ring in one ear, and ha tells ycu i5 will euro

swallowing cobweb pills, and tho pain from
auy insect bite is instantly removed by rub
bing the puncture with tur2e hinds of grass.
What folly to enduro warts when by rubbing
t'.'.em with a piece of stolen fat bacon, and
then burying jt secretly, tho warts wilj dis
appear in a few days. So, tco, why wearj
the flesh with looking for a lost article when
you need only to throw something away to
tind the thing mislaid? Your mind, however,
must be Hzed upon the thing lost to succeed,
so that here one of the elements of the faith
cure s?ems to come in. Any lady who throws
away the combings after dressing her hair
will suffer with headache, for the birds weave
this hair into their nts.
The young generation of negroes, who are
now skimming over the contents of a multi
tude of text books with high sounding names,
are in bpnd to the same superstitions which
enchain their fathers. .Not all of the mental
and moral philosophj' set down in tho books
with which they are burdened can break the
thrall cas5 by the witch and the "cunjur
man," while tho study oi ibe highi: mathe

The Little Seal Cried.
A seal about two months o!J was seen
yesterday on the d.eok of the schooner

captain said: "I have had the little fel
low about six weeks, having caught him
at Stable Island, ne was asleep when I
came upon him, and before he knew it
had him in my arms. In three days
from that time he was as tame as a dog,
and will now follow me all over the ves
sel. In the morning at about 3 o'clock
the seal takes his position over the hatch,
and there he will cry until some one cf
the crew goes on deck and feeds him.
When we are outside I throw him over
board and let him swim until he is tired.,
and then he is only too glad, ftp ba taken
on board again."
The little fellow seemed to enjoy him

he saw one of the men approaching hitn
he would hobble toward him. and tease

THE EARLY EDUCATION.
One can have deep sympathy with these
persons, but it is easier to save the younger
generation from repeating their mistakes in
life than to rescue them from their jierplexity.
Tho difliculty lies deeper than the wenfion
that discloses it. It lies in the early educa
tion. Tho greater part of our people aro edu
cated in the three It's, but they are not edu
cated through their natural instincts or
tastes. Many break through their bread
winning service, and follow some aide for its
own sake, and it is not necessary to tell such
persons how to employ themselves iu their
vacation, be it a day or a month. They have
tho power of interesting themselves in their
self activity, and there is a perennial fountain
of life in this capacity. It is the power of
self improvement. It is the ability to make
two blades of grass grow where but one grew
before. But those who have tho natural gift
cf self entertainment aro tho e mailer part of
the community, and if-the multitude aro to
enjoy themselves, how is the result to be
reached i
It is a process of unconscious education
that goes back to one's childhood, that be
gins with the mother's education of the
child's five senses before the days of the pub
lic school, that marks her trysting time for
the child to ascertain where he is strong and
where he is weak. It is in such touching of
the indefinite in the child on the part of a
judicious parent which is the beginning of
an education that gives one the command, in
the course of time, of faculties that most per
sons have never ueed, because neither in
youth nor in ripened life have they ever
found out that they had them. It is this sort
of training that antedates the school, and,
when the education of women has advanced
less than a thousand leagues beyond its pres
ent reach, and most women are where the
really intelligent women are now, we shall
have an education through tho instincts, as
well as through the purely working qualities
of the brain, that gives us the education. 0f
the entire man or woman.
AX UXFAILIJra METHOD.
This is a glimpse of what is meant by go
ing to tho bottom of things and beginning nt
the foundation. The capacity to "enjoylife
above the animal nature is largely the result
of a careful education of the senses or in
stincts, so that we shall naturally aim for
the best and assimilate it to our life. You
caunot transform grown up people into what
they are not, and it would be cruel to pain
many persons by pointing out to them the;
deficiencies. That is not required, but it is
one of the gweet amenities of existence to
assist our fellow men, where it is iossiUc, in
widening the circle of their faciliti&s for en
joying life. It can be done by suggestion,
by example, by ministrations of affection,
and where it is done vith discretion one is
almost sure tj receive the hearty thanks of
those wha have been led to feel a new inter
est; in, the things that are around them.
It is said that a humorist is one of the most
valuable members of the community, though
it is impossible for such a person to be taken
seriously; but he communicates so much good
feeling throughout society that he does for
the dull and over serious what a thunder
storm in a season of dull weather does for the
Atmosphere, Ue electrifies the air and gives
pslief to pent up natures. The persons who
n joy life through having an aside that gives
them genuine culture, and w ho have the
caiacity of communicating the suggestion of
this power to other or of awakening it with
in them, are the benefactors of society. If
they happen to be landlords, they always
have crowded houses. If they are teachers,
they ahva3 s awaken their pupils and push
them forward. If they are parents, their
children in mature life are sure to rise up
and call them blessed. There is the capacity
in nearly every one to get more out of life in
a good sense than tney are getting, and the
secret of it is to use one's little spare time
every day for the purpose of advancing on
tho line of what one likes to do to the things
that lio outside of one's immediate industry
or calling. This is an unfailing method for
reaching out to permanent supplies of en joy
ment. Boston Herald.
A Tobacco Hungry Indian.
In 1SS3 and 1SS3, while traveling for a large
St. Louis hqusd ia the Indian territory, I
learn.ed more of Indian traits and Indian
character than I could have found out from
reading 100 Indian stories such as were
written by J. Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain
and Bill Nye, You never meet an Indian on
the road in the Indian nations, but your na
tive quietly and suddenly emerges from the
tall grass or brush of the wayside, stands on
the highway in front of you and says: "How."
ou tell him you are well and he says:
'Whisky." When he is informed that you
are out of that drug he puts to you the single
word, interrogatively: " 'baccoif" ou hand
him your plug, expecting bim to cut off a
small corner, and in a second the whole plug
disappears between his molars in his capa
cious mouth.
My Indian host, who spoke fair English,
advised me to cut the remaining plugs I had
into small pieces and give only one piece at a
time. Six different times between Muskogee
and Okmulgee, in the Creek country, at
places a quarter of a mile apart, did the
same Indian spring out of the grass on the
road in front of me and greet me with a
friendly "How? He had cut a circuit in the
grass each time to come out ahead of me, and
housed slight disguises of dress, thinking
that I did not recognize him as the man who
got the first chunk of tobacco. But I made
him run about eight mites for about a plug
and a half of robacco. -G. A. Schmidt in
