PRACTICE OF CANNIBALISM.
J"HE HORRID PRACTICE STILL IN VOGUE BY THE HAYTI SERPENT WORSHIPPERS.
FAe Appalling Testimony on This Point of an English Traveler of Rank and Intelligence.
Letter in Vanity Fair.
The religion of this country is ostensibly JRdtnan Catholic. An archbishop, LTrar bishops, and nearly oue hundred nests are established in the country, uut they are really powerless in the face of a secret religion called "Voudou" or serpent worship.
The professors of41Voudou,"who have the "serpent-house" in each village/ood (as may also be seen on the west voastof Africa) originally came from the Congo coast, and were of the tribe called Mandingoes, celebrated for their [.skill as sorcerers and secret poisoners, and for being serpent-worshippers, child slayers, and cannibals. They appear to have brought their arte with them from
Africa, but while Hayti was under French rule they were obliged to practice them in secret. i,. It was. however, mainly owing to the [, power of "Voudou" that Hayti was lost to the French.. Many of the presidents
belonged io it the present President tether cannot or will not suppress it, and it flourishes openly. It would be Improper for me to give up my authorities. It is sufficient to say that they are [.*, of the highest, and that the facts are indisputable, being vouched for to me by eye-witnesses. Out of 700,000 inhabitants of Hayti, there are only 20,000 who do not openly belong to "Voudou."
The priests of this religion have got |y absolute power, owing td their knowlfj edge of herb-poisoning and its aotidotes. Owing io this knowledge, which nothing will induce them to divulge, they can poison either slowly or quickly, or painfully or the reverse, and can procure a death-like sleep. They are consequently resorted to by people who wish to get rid of others either for gain, for jealousy, or the like.
The sccret poisoning'is carried on to an enormous extent. It goes on, indeed, under the name of "Obi" wherever negroes are found. In Hayti, while the French had the island, it was sternly repressed—more so than either in Jamaica or Cuba—but since then it has increased to such an extent thai a suppi eased terror prevails among all classes
Hayti. The great feasts of "Voudou" are at Christinas, at Whitsuntide and at Easter. The drum is beaten at midnight, and the people assemble. The ceremony commences by the most terrible oaths of soorecy. Then dancing begins, and the excitement is kept up by copius libations of rum till or one or more of the performers fall down in a fit, when the spirit of "Voudou" is supposed to have entered into them. These orgies generally last three nights, and sometimes longer. On the first night a cock is offerod up at the alter, and its blind is drunk warm. On the second night- a goat is treated in the same way. But on the third night children are brought in their throats are cut bv the priest tkeir blood is handed round and drunk warm, and then their \odies are cut up and eaten.
Beforo tlio sacrifice takes place, the priest orders as many children as he requires. They must bo of pure African descent, and not over ten yoars of age. These children are invariably forthcoming, oither by boing voluntarily given up or obtained by being stolen by women who mako a profession of it. Thoy are expert at thoir trade. Entering ii houso at night, naked and oiled, thoy steal the child, and, by administering a narcotic poison, render it insonsiblo. It is then conveyod to a sooret placo till required for th"o sacrifice, wbon an antidoto brings it.to life then its throat is cut. Children are often given up voluntarily by their motherfc for tho sacrifice.
In order to beinitiated into "Voudou" it is necessary to havo killed some human being a child is preferred.
Another horrlblo custom in Hayti is tho devouring of corpses. So strong is the tasto for human llesh that in id wives hav6 beon known to devour tho children thoy havo just brought into tho world. Tho parts preferred are the knuckles and hands.
Lest it should be imagined that these are not facts, 1 will give ono or two instances.
In May, 1879, two women wore caught eating a female child. It was proved that the child had been first drugged and rendorod insensible. The parents, supposing it to be dead, buried it. These women immediately disinterred it, restored it to its senses by antidotes, and thon inserted reeds through its side and sucked the blood from the heart. This happened at Port au Prince.
A llaytian of good position was also caught, with his family,*- eating a small boy. Another boy was fount! tied to a tree close by. The man was pointed out to me.
These offenses wero punished, in oue case, by a month's, ana in the other by six weeks* imprisonment, tho fear of Voudou not allowing a greater punishment.
In January, 1681, eight people were lined for disinterring and eating corpses.
In the same month tho neck and shoulders of a man were exposed lor sale in the market of Port au Prince, and were purchased and identified by an English medical man.
In February. 1881, at St. Marks, a cask of so-called "pork" was sold to a ship. In it were discovered the Augers and finger-nails of a human being. The "pork*' was all identified as human il«*h.
A Il»yt»an assured me that the kidneys of a child were first-rate eating. On my asking how he knew, ho iuformed nie that he bad eaten them. He did not seem to think it strange or at all out of the way.
At Cape Haytien a colored clergyman of th« Gtiurch "of England complained that a "Voudou" neutralized all the good he was doing, and declared that he bad had human desh offered him for sale, and that his wife nearly bought it, believing that it was pork. In February, 1881, four people were fined for devouring corpses.
At Jacuiel two cor pes were recently disinterred and partly eaten. Two men were in prison for this, not being able to pay the fine.
A man caught eating a child was arrested the day of my arrival. At Christmas-time 9,000 people assembled at the house of a noted Voudou" priestess (pointed out to me) living in the country, and carried on the Vouaou ritos in the xfoods close by during the
At A ox Cares the child of an Englishman was stolen from its cradle on the 4th of March, 1S7S. The thieves, being hunted, threw the child down a well— cHUngit—and escaped.
The**? facts speak for themselves.
A LIVELY TIME, Boston Post.
Some people seem born with a faculty of raising the ancient masculine juvenile. They got folks who are minding their own business and merely want peace and quiet, into all sorts Of Scrapes. This faculty is peculiarly developed in the commercial tourist usually referred to as a drummer. One of this class of gentlemen was at an up country railway station some days ago and discovered, while waiting for a train, a wasp's nest. An idea at once struck him. How he achieved the feat without getting hurt we do not know. Probably the wasps were dormant with cold. But at any rate, be got the nest down and tied it to the tail of a large yellow dog that was fooling round the depot. The dog started to run, and that so stirred up the wasps that they sent a courier to investigate and as he did so in a manner disagreeable to the dog he only ran the harder, and made three wild circuits of the depot. The train mean-while came in, and as trains don't stop long at country stations, it was just starting as the dog came round tho third time. Wild with pain, the dog leaped abroad the train ana plunged into ajcrowdedcar, just as the orakeman closed the door. The poor brute got beneath a seat and tried to curl up. The car was hot and it warmed up the wasps and they came out, and in about half a minute the men in that seat jumped up so hard they nearly stove holes in the rodf, and the way they clawed at their legs was a caution. Everybody looked. Then others became interested. And the dog started on a'/un through the car. The wasps went for him? and every person in the car. A wild scene took placo. Men scoulded and clawed wildly. Women got up on the seats and danced —and the dog, which everybody thought to be mad, tore up and down the aislo, howling. The conductor came in, 'nsane. He prompt-
S
uor are manifested, but being using )r. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. As a spring medicine, it excels all other remedies, gently but surely expelling the poisonous blood humors with which the system become impregnated, by the incidental effect of changeable winter weather. It makes the blood red, rich, and pure, causes it to circulate with more Vim, enables it to renew the wasted tissues, and carries strength and vitality to every weakened part of tho human system, restoring impaired bodily functions, and checking all decay of the urinary, digestive, and pulmonary organs, which, if neglected too often ends in a premature grave.
SALT.
Nothing that we,oat is more valuable than salt, nor could anything except bread be more missed. Animals in fact will travel distances and brave great dangers to obtain it. On the coast of Siosrit Leone brothers will sell their sisters, husbands thewives, and parents their children, for salt. In the district of Accra on tho $©ld coast of Africa, a handful of salt is the most valuable thing upon earth, after gold, and will purchase a slave or two. Salt with the B&mbars is such a luxury that to say of a man, "He flavors his food with salt," is to imply that he is rich. No stronger mark of affection can be shown in Muscovy than the sending of salt from the tables of tho rich to their poor friends. Spilling salt was held to be an unlucky omen by the Romans, and the superstition has descended to ourselves. Leonardo do Vinci availed himself of this tradition in his famous picture of the "Lord's Supper," to indicate Judas Iscariot by the salt-cellar knocked over accidentia by his arm. When we say of a lacy fellow that "he does not earn his salt," we unconsciously allude to an ancient custom among the Remans. Among them a man was said to be in possesion of a 'salary' who had his •salarium,' his allowance of salt, wherewith to save the food bv which he lived. Thus salary comes from salt—and in this view of the word how many there are who do not "earn their salt."
MR. ROBKRT, B. BARTON, of Dayton O., writes: "I wish every one to know that Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsap*rilla has cured me of severe dyspepsia and urinary troubles. It has maae nie very strong."
FRENCH COOKING A FRA UD. Detroit News letter. It is well for tho Frenchman that he is pit French cooking la abomniable, let tradi tion say what
neither gourmand nor epicure, fer *ic
gia it ill. All the wonder-
ful stones you hear of the excellence of French cooking and the abilities of French cooks are old wives' fables. I'll rant them skill—the skill to concoct a nner out of nothing but that sort of economy is a doubtful virtue. Their
S
flonps are sloppy and impoverished. Their meats are so disguised with sauces gravies and flavorings, and by the manner of cooking, that one never knows what be is eating. Ditto their vegetables. A good potato is an unknown luxury. Their cheese would drive a fastidious person from the table Their bread is coarse, dark, bard and sour—far worse than English bread, which iteelf is very inferior to the light, white tender bread that we are accustomed to in America. As for tea, a good cup of tea is as scarce in France as a good cup of coffee is in England—and that is saying a good deal. Coffee is the FrenchnuuTs only strong point in the culinary art.
IsncMiBKT'parents who alloV th'elr children to eat heartily of high-seasoned food, rich pies, cake, Ac, will have to use Hop Bit: to prevent in^'rest' r:, sleepless t», sickness, .u, I perhaps, death. No family is safe without them in the house.
mm
As the train was
ying, folks couldn't jump off. Nomad house ever saw such a scene, There was madness enough to sink a ship, and the brakeman gazing in at the door said it beat anything he ever saw in a variety show. FinallyJ the conductor stopped the train, folks got out, and the car was cleared of wasps and dog. But the passengers didn't get over it. They were an awful mad set, and occasionally after they got started again a man would find a stray wasp in his trousers and rise and yell. They talked of suing the railroad, and if they could have got that drummer his death would have been frightful. But he had gone on a train the other way.
SPRING FEVER.
Persons should not think lightly of that feeling of extreme debility, so common in the spring of the year. It is often the forerunner of a year of ill health. It renders the system very susceptible to disease, and is caused by the blood being fillea with poisonous humors. The blood by all means should, be kept healthy, otherwise its power to assimilate nutritious food becomes impaired, and dyspepsia, liver-complaint, headache, nervous debility, extreme languor, weak kidneys, want of physical and mental endurance, and general prostration is the result. Since prevention is better than cure, don't wait for the final result, of springtime indisposition, when the first symptoms of lan-

Ague Cure
Is a purely vegetable hitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a speedy ami certain euro for Fever and Ague, Chflla and Fever, Intermittent or Chlil Fever,Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic, and other poisonous minerals form tho basis of most of the Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifics," "Syrups," and Tonics," in the market. Tne preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing ouinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, heaaache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. ARM's AGCE CCKB thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cores the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate patient and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack.
For Liver Complaints, AVER'S AGCK CURE, by direct action oa the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
