of conflitt are quite numerous.

wenin 'the field, elusive of reserves,
^rithin three wurts, and he adds,
sig-
nifloanfty: We shiSl have to do it soon."
W course, this «norinons army will be
tbroueht out gvniply to preserve the
•peace of Europe This is the false and
Tittioclous pretense always offered by
•despots to bepuar and virtually enslave
'the people.
A special fcgent of the General Land
'Office has fouud that nearly one-half of
'the pubhc'lands disosed of in any one
.'year are hresularly taken. The lands
husobt&lned, he says, eventually fall
ato thw 'hands of the settlers, but they
are obliged to pay 'sweat money" in
•order to get them, and this puis the poor
man at "a disadvantage and retards settle
ment. This winter the matter will be
'SdhraUted to congress and it is not im
iprobable that the pre-emption law may
fee repealed, or made much more stri n
gent for the purpose of preventing fraud
A recently issued .Irish blue-book con
tains much interesting information about
'the Emerald Imennd its inhabitants in
'(Heating an improvement in the condi
'tion of the Irish people. The number
-of registered marriages during 1882 were
22,149, l.lia number of births 122,(348 and
'Of deaths 88,5IK1. The number of births
in excess of deaths would seem to indi
cate that the population had increased
•34jl43, hut there was an actual decrease
1
of 54,088 for persons emigrated.
The Jo* marriage rate is mainly due to
the emigration 01 large numbers of
young men and womeu. The number
of inmates of worn houses was 51,252
and the number of persons receiving
ont-door relief was 68,542—in both class
es a large decrease over thu previous
year.
Notwithstanding the edict of the Ger
man government and other nationalities
inEuro»e against American pork, the
exports of. pro vision sand
dlmoBt
every-
'thiog in thai line of trade are largely in
excess of what it was a year ago, and in
fact are steadily increasing. The in
crease in the exports of fresh beef is
'Marly six hundred per cent, in excess
of what it was a year ago, and nearly all
'the same ratio of inorease is noticeable
in other branches of the trade in provis
lions and tallow and dairy products.
Altogether the outlook for an active ex
port trade in these commodities is very
promising, and with the heavy crops
ready for shipment will set the balance
-of tiade decidedly in favor of brother
-'Jonathan.
An army officer stationed in the west
bat now in Washington, commends high'
ly the recent criticism on General Sher
idan'svtatument that numbers of young
men enlist in the army in the east
in
or­
der to then desert after getting free
transportation to tiie western states.
The criticism that the men desert because
they are not treated as soldiers but as la
borers, this officer -says is strictly true,
and that the privates are beginning to
find that they are treated better
in
the
military prison than out of it, and that
consequently desertions are of very com
mon occurrence. This officer says that
Secretary Lincoln was greatly astonished
when informed that .the deserters in the
1 military prison at 1 ort Leavenworth
were better and more humanely treated
than the soldiers in .the field. The rem
edy jsto'be found in not compelling the
soldiers to do menial work, buteonfine

•The progress of the south in material
prosperity has been so rapid and solid
of bite as to become one of the marvels
of the time. The Postoffice repjrt
rflhowed us the other day that in the ex
1 tension ot the postal service the south
tern states excelled even those of the
rapidly growing west. This growth rep
resents and springs from the remark

longer branded with dishonor and know

Florida, (Louisiana and Texas have

1880 Alabama, Oeorgia, North Carolina
*nd South Carolina have increased their
cotton spindles and looms sixty per
cent. And with a profit of from 15 to 20
cent, annually to the manufacturers.
Alabama is looming up as one of the
great coal fields of the future, its store
of that precious mineral being estimated
at tlie inconceivable total of seven hun
dred billion tons. The iron deposits of
Alabama are also large,
and of hue qual
ity, so that its inhabitants are justified
in believing tliat their state is destined
to become the Pennsylvania of the south.
Arkansas is one of the great lumber

enormous deposits of coat and iron.

Sureistitious 1 olief extends from
awiiy drwn behind the misty horizon of
the past to the present bright midday of
kno'A li-d.-e and progress. I ir past sto
ry iti the world is freighted with horrors
and barricades to the light of knowl
edge. Meferring to the subject in one
of his poems, Southey says:
"lisa h'storv
Handed from uses adowu a nurse's taie,
Which children open-eyed and mouih'tl
d»-vot#r
And thus us garrulous ignorance relaie
We lenrn it ami netiiTH.
Neuro supor.-liiion. iiowever, is not so
ancient, and i-i almost purely ol Ameri
can oritrm. Mm of it was invented in
the cotton fields of the Mouth, around
tho blazing heartii-fire of the oh! log
cabin, or in the bous and swamps, where
slaves were iiFSftiihled together tit work
or pastime. The negroes were not alone
in th'-s.f beliefs, for the poor
whites" nf Ihe South etiaerly b- lieveo 111
si._ns, rorebodint.i and dreams, and do
lo this dny. in common with (t
large majority of tiie Colored oeople.
l''roin these plantation superstitions a
class of buiiibmis "|irahn up, Known us
votidoo doctors ami conjurors, who hold
the, imiorant dread of their mysteri
ous arts, and auainst whose practice laws
have been passed in several ol the
soul hern slates. Following are some of
these beliefs, collated by 11 Republican
reporter idler extensive conversation
with the above e'asses:
The crowing of a hen at midnight is a
sure sign ol death, ll a roogler retires
to his roost
W
a hoarse voice aud
crows in an unusual manner, it is recard
el as the voice ot a linn, ami if any
one about tiie place is sick, prepara
tions are frequently made 'or his funer
al. I fa luckless lien should ill any time
make an attempt al drowning, her
head is instantly cut oil'to prevent Ihe
death of some nerson. In connect! 11
•vitn this class of universal birds Ihe ne
groes recite the following couplet:
Winston' woman'a..' oe rrowiu'hen
Neh. comi lo eio.y irood e^d.
i'rogs. and particularly toads, pl.-iv an
important part in southern sup* rstilions.
The hearts of leu toads made it to a stew
will cure tile ellects conjnra'ion. The
bind legs of a frog hung over the li-e
place, one week before ('hnstnniB, will
hring plenty of 'ood and presents, and
tiie large eyeballs ot a water rog, or
"blood iiouii," as thee are called worn
a» a breast-pin, will keep his satanlc
majesty at a respectable distance Irom
the wearer.
The weird jack-o'-lunterns which bob
up 111 the bogs of the South during dark
•lights are regarded as ghostly appari
tions and indicate the presence of white
sheeted spooks. The average plantation
nearo or white will dash wildly toward
home on the appearance of a jack'o-luti
tern before I hem. Indeed, it is a very
dillicnlt matter to get one of the above
classes uut ol doors after sunset under
any circumstances.
The first Hpoeiiraiiee of frost is anxious
ly watched tor, and its pretty formations
eagerly scanned. The glistening pictures
must be observed when the sun rises.
The silver pictures thus seen in the (irst
frost of the season are regarded as illus
trations of your fale. A collin means
death ilowers a wedding money, riches
birds, long life and s'ars sickness.
The approach of a "coon" or 'possum
coming toward your house in the day
time is a very had omen. The cornfield
baril says of this rare occurrence
When de coon cuius out
In de hroad d-yh^ht,
S ime peison will cie
lt» lo' dat nitt!
It is also regarded as a bad sign to kill
an even number of these animals, and if
upon the reassembling of partv after
a moonlight bunt it is found that tin even
number has been bagged, the party will
hunt lor hours to capture or kill another
animal, and thus make tbe number odd.
1'lenty of rabbits in the stubble ami
surrounding fields indicate a large and
healthy crop tbe next season.
A white crow is a harbinger of death
and disease, and the aopearnnce of one
1 1 these birds, in neighborhood will
cause the entire negro population to turn
out with their old muskets,and the luck
less white crow is killed if possible. If
it. is killed, tbe belief is that the sickness
will prevail, but no deaths will result
from such sickness. Carrion crows in
large numbers is a verv good sign,there
fore their lives are sacred to the planta
tion ''hands," who feel deeply aggrieved
if one of these birds is killed."
Thunder and lightning dnringtliR win
ter means that tbe devil is abroad on
tho earth, and it invariably causes de
voi negroes to pray and sing. One of
their plantation hymns says of tbe at
mospheric phenomena:
When you hear de ligntnir/,
A yellin' at de ar-ow,
II' ole split-footed debill
Is cum up from below.
The weird and unearthly hooting of
an owl, from its lofty perch at the top of
a sighing pints tree, reverberating and
echoing through the gloomy lotcst and
out over tbe surrounding marshes, is re
garded as an announcement ol the pres
ence of ghosts.^ When 10 hooting is
heard, the pickaninnies gather close
about the old grav-haired sire before the
blazing hearth lire, and listen to hijnar
rative how "do 'bants' air: waikin
aootit in de woods wid dere whiteshee
an' pointing bands."
T"o see a snake in winter means much
trouble. Sharks swimming close to tiie
shore is a bad sign, and indicates ship
wreck. Wild geese flying southward
prognosticates culd weatl er, and their
flight northward is a sign of warmer
dll
vs. For a gun to hang fire means
sudden death, and for a horse to balk at
tbe foot of a hill is a good omen.
The ghostly superstitions of the south
are numerous. It is impossible to get
either black or white man on the south
ern sea coast to go out upon the beach
during a storm at night. Tliev see rid
ing upon the white-tapped breakeis
which roll and sniutter in upon the
hard sand and ghosttv forms of marin
ers who were iost at sea, with their
shrouds flipping in the gale. Neither
will they pass the corpse ol the
luckless suilor tnat liriftn in upon the
beach, ami frequent eases are known
where even superstitious life-saving men
made a detour of at least a half mile to
avoid the object. Spoons are UiJieved
to be very partial to storms, ami many
startling stories are related of their
pranks during the prevalence of gales
and thunder and lightning at night,
when their skeleton frames could he
seen with each vivid flash ol electricity

A Lawyer's tlistiim
In summing up the in.se of Lliner F.
Culver, tried for stealing his young wife
at New Haven, Conn., tho other day,
the latter's counsel grew eloquent and
exclaimed: "''tm you doubt th'j voice
of beauty and virtue as itaopealsto you?
Her testimony is Oid'roiited only by
that of one man, the man who al the
allar .-wore to love, coerisli, piotectand
honor her. Look upon bun, I say."
Mr. Fowler turn-d wid looked upon Mr.
Culver, lie gtuwetvil back .it thu law
yer. The jury wab-hed ev.rymovo of
the speaker, lb- continued ,vilh utmost
scorn: "That man's word ug.iinsi hers!
Wiiy, gentlema.1, I Wouldn't, give that
isimppii'g his lio.cr.-:) i'or the testimony

Cu.ver who was nroidiii:r, id most, arose

Uim like a tliaudorc'iip. Me blushed

As he sat doivn he wiped his glowing
I'.tC'J with his h.imlkcrcneil aud looked
around upon the throng with wonder
fully satisiied air. Just tin 11 a brother
at orney, silting neiu by, reached over
and whispered. "You darne-l fool,

Judge Culve- used to live iit North
