(Cerk of the Superior Court. hie And How the Negroes Related Ilobeoblln Stories. I was ruminating about this peculiar superstition of the negro race. T One of their color has been very sick in this town and it "got spread among; them that he was conjured, or "conjud," as they speak it, and right there comes in the difference between the blacks and the copper-colored and mullattos. The Koi;f in "rMininrin" seems to be con- finl Tvm'inlv tn the black negro. Old! Aunt Ann declares that he was "cun judas sho'. as you're born, for he is turnin' right green." It was these same black Africans who had all the su perstitions about Brer Fox and Brer Bab bit. We had all colors amongst our slaves when I was a boy, but it was only the black, broad-nosed and thick-lipped ones wno tola us stones Dy me t-aoiu tires at night. They only had a love for the marvellous and their decendants have it yet. They believe in hoodoo- or voodoo and conjurnin'. They have a strong emotional religion; and ii the sperit throws them down in al faint it is a sure sign they've got it good. What it is they get I don't know, but it suits them.-and there does not seem to be any change in their mode of worship. Education has not made any that we con perceive. Some white people are affected the same way, but it is the ex ception and not the rule. ."With the negroes it seems to be spasmodic. Its effects have no good influence after the spasm is over. We used , to say of one of our servants, "Becky is going to cut up today. She fell down in a trance last night at meeting and had to be carried out. ' ' And 6he did cut up. She was the nurse for our children and they had to keep away from her until sha got over her fit. She was accused of being a cunjurer and a black negro named Luke swore out a warrant for her and Tom Perry, the squire, issued it, just to see what Luke could prove He said that she made him sick in the back and kept him sick, and he handed the 'squire a dime that she gave him for a chicken and pointed out a dark spot on it that was the sign the proof that she had conjured the money before she paid it to him, . That was all "What do you wish done with her?" said I. "She have to swallow de dime," he said, "and dat break de spell. tried rabbit foot and I bury lizard under de door and I plat de old mare's mane when de rooster crow for midnight, but it don't do no good. I is dyin' every day." But Luke got well and Becky didn't swallow the dime, either. One of my father's negro women got jealous of Minty, the cook, and determined to poison or cunjur her to death. Minty got sick anctmy mother told Juno to make her some chicken soup. . She got from an old rag a red scorpin s head, lizard's leg, a bat's wing, a betty bug and three or four centipedes or thousand legs, as we call them, and the tail of trreen snake and had the horrible mess cooking in a sauce pan when myoth happened in to see how Minty was and took the top off the pan to look at the soup. Juno confessed that she had been gathering material for that soup a good while, and she wasn't much dis turbed at the discovery. She declared that Minty had cunjud her husband and I reckon she had. So my father had to separate the families. Now, did Shakespeare get his witches, caldron and its venomous contents from the old Africans of . England. have known a sensible, self-reliant wo man who will walk to the back door to eet a lucky view of the new moon. ' Her husband makes fun of her but will do the same thing on the sly. When we moved into our present house old Aunt j Ann comforted 'my, wife by . saying "mighty fine place mighty nice trees and all dat, but folks say de house is j haunted." Tom Hood wrote ninety verses about a haunted house and they will make your hair stand on end if you have got any: "O'er all there hnDg a shadow and a fear, A sense of Mystery the spirit daunted. And said as plain as whisper in the ear The place ii haunted." ' The old poets and novelists were full of superstitions. "The Ancient Mtjri ner," the witches in Macbeth and "The Phantom Ship," still, charm us with their mystery. It is well for us that we spend the night in 6feep, for darkness adds to our childish fears. Napoleon said that all men were cowards by night, and I suppose there are but few men even among the saints and the philoso phers who would feel perfectly calm and serene while sitting on a tomb stone on a dark and cloudy night. My old army friend, Captain Hockenhull, an Englishman by birth, told us one night: by the camp fires that when he was about eighteen some of the town boys bet him a crown that he wouldn't go to the charnel house after dark and bring out a skull. The charnel house was in the corner of the church yard. It had no door, but had a window about ten feet from the ground, and as the bones were taken from old graves to make room for new ones the sexton hauled them to the charnel house and threw them in, for it was the law that a dead man had no right to sleep in' the ground longer than thirty years. Hockenhull was poor and nau gooa piucK ana wanted the crown very bad. So he got a little ladder and placed. it urfuer the window. '.The rascally boys had already been there and boosted one of their number up to the hotefand from there he let himself down easy and hid in the comer among the bones. -"Hock," as we called him in the army, felt around m the darkness, and finding a skull was climbing to the window, when a deep, gastly voice muttered: : "That's my skull." Hock said it scared him nearly to death at first and he put it down quick. ;Then he thought about the crown and the -shame of cowardice and began to fell around for another, and finding one nearer the window was about, to step up when the same un earthly voice from the same corner said "that's my skull." "Oh, you're a liaj-," said Hock. "No man has two skills," and he tossed it out and follow ed jit in a jiffy, and carried it in triimph to the alehouse, where the boys were waiting. lie got his crown and a good reputation, but said he did not fancy the business. It takes both age and religion to drive away - onr super stitions fears and reconcile us to that lonely home, the graveyard, to which we. shall all surely come. The comfort of the aged is that this old body gets so frail and beset with pain it is no shock to'shak it off and be a spirit that is, if we have the faith that is sure and steadfasta faith like that of Paul and the martyrs and the dying Christian that Pope wrote about, or the one that William C. Bryant so beautifully des cribed in his Thanatopis. Bill Arp. THE WAI.DENSIAN SETTLEMENT. NORTH CAROLINA FARMING. HighestjOf all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Laugh. ChlOigo Post. There is absolutely, nothing that will help you bear the ills of life so well as a good, laugh. Laugh all you can. If the clothesline breaks, if the cat tips over the milk and the dog elopes with the roast, if the children fall into the mud simultaneously with the advent of clean aprons, if the new girl quits in the middle of housecleaning, and though you search the earth with can dles you find none other to take her place; if the neighbor in whom you have trusted goes back on you and keeps chickens, if the chariot wheels of the uninvited guest draw near when you are out of provender and the gaping of an empty purse is like the unfilled mouth of a young robin, take courage if you have enough sunshine in your heart to keep a laugh on your hps. Charlotte Observer. ; . - , A brjief visit was paid to the eolony of Waldenses, eight miles east of Morgan ton on the Western North Carolina Railroad. The trip was made from Morgahton in company with Kev. Car los Alberton Tron, the president of the colonyj; Mr. Frisard, an enterprising and genial Frenchman who has recently located at Morganton, bought property and injtprored it handsomely and others. The truth must be told: these colonists are settled on very sterile land and have had-hard work getting a foothold. Ther 'are 30 families, . numbering 332 souls, j The first of themj to come have been here just a year;' the second in stallment six months. They made little last year and the prospects for this year'fl crops jare not bright, j Nearly all their small jsavings have gone for transporta tion hither, for the; first payment on their property and for subsistence since arrival, and some of them are about at the end of their tether. '; The people of Morganton have been exceedingly good to them, but their cause is one which appeals to all the State. It is not in tended to represent that these people are paupers and upon me people: they have their holdings and are industrious in their work; but until they can have tjme o take root they may need some assistance, and indeed they now need help to enable them to build a hurch and school house. A church they must have for by inheritance and of . them selves;: they are a very religious people; and ja school house is only second among their necessities. It is probable that in a short time Dr. Tron, or Dr. Vinajr another one of I their ministers' who has already been over and ia now en rcjute again will visit Charlotte and otherjl places in the .State and present their; cause, and the Observer bespeaks for whichever of them comes a patient hearing and a liberal response. The Observer has frequently said.that these' are such immigrants as North Carolina wants. They are patient, in dustrious, orderly and God-fearing. If these succeed other Waldenses will come; if thi6 should fail it wpuld be a mis fortune to the State. I Dr. Tron, its head, is a bright, cheery, amiable gen tleman, who has great " influence with the people, and he is altogether .hope ful of the result of the effort to "settle therm here permanently, He has valu able! assistance in practical management nowjj in Mr. John Mier, late of Char lotte;,! who, as stated in yesterday's pa per,! has just been elected vice president of the colony.

The'farmers have under take)! general agriculture but will give special attention to grape-growing, The hosiery mill, as heretofore stated, now about being completed by Mr! Meier, willi give employment to some of them. The physical and other personal char acteristics of the : Waldenses are inter esting. They are small of stature and swarthy of complexion,' in genejai ap pearance much like the Italian people generally as these are known in" Amer ca. In manners they' are extremaly deferential. Hats are off and smiles are on as soon as one looks at them.

A farmer) of Linn county Kansas, while boring for water, has discovered afiatural curiosity of a kind hitherto unknown, j At the depth of ninety feet the drill penetrated a seemingly bottom less cavern. A strong volume of hot air at once rushed out, driving the drill upwards and disabling the machinery. The air is pronounced perfectly dry, and will burn the fingers and roast eggs and potatoes as nice as could be desired The escaping air first made a noise like niany Utile whistles, but now comes out with a roar to be heard a half mile aiway. Oblivious to the fact that he may have tapped the resting place of departed Kansas politicians, the Linn county man is going to move his house over the hole and utilize the discovery for steam heating purposes: ed one which afforded only the paltry stipend of six dollars a day. His dignity revolted and he took the offer as an in suit. Hence these tears ! His melodramatic deliverance in bid ding farewell to the Democratic party falls flat, stale and still-born.
