Hi the South Ameri'ttii countries, too, in the islands of the .Caribbean sea, in Mexico, and even in, Spain and Italy, itohcraft is by no mans obsolete. On the contrary, we occasonally hear of wild outbursts of popular fanaticism on the mbiect in those counfies, accompanied lomotimei by loss of life. The signs, therefore, of very marled improvement in this particular amorg the negroes of the South are all the mtro welcome when we find that in countries where slavery does not exii-t at all sinilar superstitions We still flourishing, "lueh of this im provement is due to ;he mania which seized upon tho Soutlcrn negroes soon after the war for sendhg their children to school. No matter low poor a negro family was, tho boys rod" girls were sent in oruer mat wvu wuun-u unj - "educated." Tho "liarning" thus ob tained has not, of couuo,bauinhed super stition altogether, or iven in great part, but it has certainly bd a sensiblo inllu ence for good not oriy upon the chil dren, but upon their jarenis. Keligion, too, has iono much for the colored people, and i is a significant fact that the negro chuches as a rule are much more prosperois and better attend ed now than they wero in slavery times. Freedom, in itself, has done more for them than religion aid education put to gether, for it has fo'ced them to shift for themselves, giving horn but little time to dream of ghosts. I There is still, however, a great deal of superstition amoig thorn, especially among tho negrofs of tho far South, whero Voudooisni rises almost to the dignity of a rcligim. In his story, "The Orandissimes," new running in Scribiier, George W. Cable rives a vivid picture of the Louisiana Voidoo woman in tho per son of Palmyro Plilosophe, whose "palo, yellow forehead, bw and shapely, with the jet hair above it, the heavily-penciled eyebrows and luig lashes below, the faint, red tinge iliit blushod with a kind of cold passion through tho clear, yellow skin of the cheek.the fullness of the red, Toluptuous lips aid the roundness of tho perfect neck gavj her a bar baric and magnetic beauty that startled the beholder like an unexpected drawing out of a jeweled sword." This woman practiced regularly in New Orleans "the loss baleful rites" of the VoiuIoob, along with the business of a hair-drcsser. Pal myro is a more pleasing typo of witch than tho antiquated, toothless crone of tradition, but the average Southern witch is apt to bo an old woman, whose very infirmities, instead of attracting pity, ex cite abhorrence and suspicion. Occa sionally, but not often, the "witch" is a man. I remember once an old negro hunchback who lived in my neighbor hood, who was regarded by his people for miles around as a "conjurer" be causo of his extreme ugliness and vis cious temper. His name was used in every negro household to scare refrac tory children into submission. Jn Hayti, where Voudooisni is still prac tised in its most horrible forms, some impression has been mado upon tho negroes by tho' Catholic missionaries and by Protestant ministers under Bishop Holly. In the rural districts, however, it' flourishes almost undis turbed. Voudooisni, conjuring, witch craft, etc., are not by any meaus con fined to the store southern localities. Even in large cities of tho north, ne gro charm doctors and soventh sons of seventh sons, are consulted eagerly by a class of negroes, who, one would sup pose, were too intelligent to be duped py them. Probably the most astonish ing manifestation of supcrstitition ever brought to light in this country, occured within the past year in Cecil county, Maryland, not many miles from Mason and Dixon's line. I refer to the case of negro woman who is serving a term in the Maryland penitentiary, who shot and killed an old negro because he had "con jured" her. In this case, the testimony adduced in court, showed that tho wo nian, who was in bad health, firmly be lieved yiat the old man had "buried bot tles," in order to injure her, and unless she fonnd thtse bottles, or shot him ith a silver bullet, she could never re cover her health. Unable to find the bottles, she laid in wait for the man and kil'ed him. I remember, as a boy. listening nieht dter night, to the stories of witchcraft bifh were told by the negroes in front f the quarter tire. Some of them were doubtedly the production of idle wasters c of the stronger minds among Ike slaves, who took delight in frighten- their more credulous companions. b the majority of cases, however, they ere traditions handed down from father to son, and were accepted by the fascin- auditors as literally true. Of win r evenings, when all the negroes were jwmbled indoors, I often stole from j house to the "quarter," and, perch upon a stool in one quarter of tho rth, in which blazed a roaring fire of Puie knots and hickory logs, listened uh rapt attention to Uncle Perry or wne other accomplished raconteur, as J related the most harrowing tales. On wese occasions the banjo was hushed, it in? an article of the superstitions ne f0?' creed that the sound of the banjo ftil these stories were being told, was a Jw of invocation to the devil to grace entertainment iritis his presence. regularly to scnooi ia ui iuui nu of tho year, their parens gladly subject in,, lidmselves to ever) form of privation The negroes invariably crowded around the story toller and listened with ashy fiwos and staring eyes. Among these stories was a number of local traditions connected with the estate. Thus it was asserted confidentially, that blue flames had been socn to issue from the grave yard at night, and that ono occasion a wicked negro named Ciesar, while seated on a grave picking a banjo, was startled by the apparition of au enormous dog, hich rose from the graye and chased him all the way to tho liouse. A negro girl on the estate asserted once that she had been bewitched and that grains of rice a teacupful, in fact had burst from her swolon knee-caps. Another middle aged woman declared with equal positiveness, that lizards and toads Lad issued from her mouth. An antiquated damo who lived somewhere in tho back country, was charged in both those cases with producing the spells, being paid for doing it by persous who had grudges agains tho parties who claimed to be afflicted. When a negro is hanged iu the South, he colored people often flock to the cene of the execution and struggle for bits of ropo or fragments of his clothing if they can be procured, to bo worn as "charms." An old fashioned Southern negro can seldom be induced to kill a cat, and there are certain things which he never does unless he is compelled, except in particular seasons. Ho is a firm believer m luck, and will search by tho hour for a four leaved clover: ho will never begin a piece of work or begin a journey on Friday; if his path at night leads past a graveyard, he will make a detour, if possible, to avoid it. His gul libility is unbounded. His fear of witch craft and ghosts is thoroughly real and intense. But why should we wonder at all this, or pity the credulity of the more ignor ant colored peoplo of our time, when we recall to mind Cotton Mather and tho de lusions, equally wild, which he accept ed, and which were firmly believed in by some of tho most intelligent minds in tho New England States of his day ? Jitiltuklphiu Times. A Lady's Ueward. The true story of tho diamond neck lace Daniel Webster gave to Mrs. Joseph Gales is said to bo this: When Mr. Webster made his celebrated reply to Senator Hayne, of South Carolina, Mr. Gales, tho senior editor of the Xational Intelligencer, undertook to report it, at the request of the orator, who assured Mr. G. that the speech would not be moro than half an hour long. The editor was busy, but he thought ho could sparo time to tako down and write out so short a speech. Lut as Mr. Webster was ascending tho steps of tho Capitol on the morning that ho was to speak, he met Judge Story, who told him that it was a good opportunity to give his views upon the Constitution. Webster acted upon the suggestion, and instead of speaking for only half an hour, he spoke for three hours. Mr. Gales, under tho spell of tho orator, wrote on, perfectly uncon scious of tho lapse of time. 15ut when ho came to look over his notes ho found they wero so voluminous that he never would have time to transcribe them. Tho apoceh not appearing in the Inlelliijencer in due tiino, Mr. Webster called upon the editor at his house, who told him that the speech was so long.and his time so much occupied, that he feared he could not find time to writo it out for publication. While the orator was expostulating with tho editor, and endeavoring to urge him to work, Mrs. Ga'es appeared and said she thought sho could writo out the speech, as she had been in tho habit of assisting her hus band in transcribing his notes. She un dertook tho task, and in two days sent Mr. Webster his speech in full. A mag nificent diamond necklace was tho rich reward of tho Massachusetts Senator. And thus was preserved to American literature the masterplace of our greatest orator. Edward Evekett's Family. Mrs Wise, the widow of Lieutenant Wise, who died in Washington the othor day, was the only daughter of Edward Everett, and was ono of tho brighter t of his children, but was very plain. She leaves a son and daughter, the former named for his grandfather. William Everett is now tho only ono loft of Ed ward Everett's immediate family. Ho is at the head of tho old Adams Academy at Quincy, Mass. Ho is eccentric ill his habits and manuors, as as unlike his handsome and courtly father in features and personal appearanco as could po Bibly be. Tho picturesque old home stead at Winchester, Mass., on tho Mystic pond, over across from tho hills on which the stately mansions of tho Brookscs, his connections by marriage, are situated, was long since deserted by the family, and it is now used as a sum mer boarding-house. This is the homo stead which was so injured by the raising of tho waters of tho pond when it was taken for the Mystic water-works, and on account of which Everett made so earnest an effort, just before his death, for largo and what he considered only reasonable damages, dwelling pn the injury to the beauty of the placo rather than to the market nalue. It was from this hearing that he went direct to Fanenil Hall, and made his last great speech in behalf of tho Savannah sufferers; when ho re marked as he stepped upon the platform, "Mv feet are like ico, but my heart is like fire.'" He died a few days after, and the mental agitation occasioned by this case was supposed by his friends to have hastened his death. After his brother Sidney's melancholy death, William Everett lived there alone for awhile, pursuing his studies with great devo tion. After waiting fonr years a Michigan bver finally popped the question, and the girl answered, "Of course I'll have you; why, you fool, you. we could have been married three years ago." In forming a judgment.lay your hearts void of foretaken opinions; else, whatso ever is done or said will be measured or said by a wrong rule; like them who have tlie jaundice, to whom everything appeareth yellow. Sir Thilip Sidnsy. If thou desire to see thy child vir tuous, let him not see bis father's vices; thou canst not rebuke that in children that they behold in thee; till reason be ripe,examples direct more than precepts; such as thy behavior is before thy children's faces, such commonly is theirs behind their parents' back. Quaeries. WHAT I "LAUS.il" Htl.HT SIB. FEl'RER, THE ONIT VANTFACTfltEn OX THR COAST, ENLIOUTEKH OVH KEADElta ON THE SUIUEIT. fraON TRR DAILY tVININO TKLBOS4X An article on the use of lager beer ha 'ing lately appeared in the columns of the Telegram, and having been made a subject of general comment, wo deter mined to ask Mr. Feurer, of the Gam brinus Brewery, some questions in regard tolagor beer, that we might enlighten our readers us to where they could obtain tho genuine article. We found Mr. Feurer at his handsomo beer hall, the Quelle, on tho corner of Second ami Stork streets, where ho was glad to an swer any question in regard to tho mat ter. Lager beer is given the name on ac count of tho length of time it is kept iu fermentation, and tho length of timo it is stored away before use. We learned from Mr. F. that no ice was used in the manufacture of beer in Portland until he began its use. Tho Gambrinus Brew ery has an immense cellar made of brick, 70 feet long, 20 feet wide and 20 feet in high, and is the best adapted to the purpose for which it is required of any cellar in Oregon. Ono of tho prime es sentials in tho manufacture of lager liecr is cleanliness. Give a brower good clean tubs and vntj and half the battle in mak ing good beer is won. If a tub or pail is not perfectly clean the quality of tho beer is always inferior. About the Gam briuus Brewery everything is kept as neat as wax tho tubs aud vats are con stantly being scalded and cleaned, and no filth is allowed to gather. Another prime essential in making lager beer is good water, and no brewery on the coast is as fortunate in that respect as tho Gambrinus. Mr. Feurer has the sole right to use tho water from the spring at City Park, and it is conveyed about oue half mile to his brewery in pipes. It is tho sweetest water in Portland. Lager beer must bo brewed stronger than that made by tho " California " pro cess, and therefore the cost of brewing it is much greater. To be of tho best quality it must be kept while fermenting in a place where tho temperature is low, and from two and a half to three months' time is necessary after fermentation bo foro it can be placed on the market. Mr. Feurer has a cooler cellar and uses moro ice each year to keep a low tem perature than all tho other brew eries in the city. Years ago in Europe and tho Eastern States all lager beer was made in tho winter season, and the absence of cool cellars caused a great deal of tho beer to Bour by the middle of the Burnt mer. No manufacturer browed beer ut all during tho warm season, until it was discovered that cellars could be kept of the proper temperature of ice, since which time boor has been mado at all seasons. In order to obtain the best la ger it is absolutely necessary that it bo kept two or three months after fermen tation in a cold cellar, and it is impossi ble to have lager without. Beer made by the " CALIFORNIA PKOCESs" Can be mado much cheaper than lager. This process, which is in general uso on tho coast, is an outgrowth of the old way of making spruce beer, which every old bar-keeper used to make behind his bar in three days' timo. But beer made after that process, though it has been improved upon somewhat, is not what an old-country brewer would call beer at all. It is a fraud on the name of lager beer, of tho worst kind. Tho foam generated by beer made in that fashion is simply yeast iu fermentation, and taken into the stomach in any con siderable quantity produces bilious ness and headache. Any physician or chemist who has ever examined this fea turo iu beer made by this process will pronounce it very injurious to tho health. With this hot process beer can bo brewed and placed on tho market in three days' time, and in thus turning it out so quick the expense is loss, and it can bo sold at a profit for about one-half of what is necessary to chargo for geuuino lager. Tho beer-drinkers of Portland are fast learning tho difference between lager beer aud that made by any other process and once having drank that made by the Gambrinus Brewery, they are loth to drink any other; hence every month the popularity of tho genuine lager beer mado by Mr. Feurer is increasing. Difficulties, by bracing tho mind to overcome them assist cheerfulness, as exercise digestion. Bovce. AB KKA! CISCO PRODI CK flAUKKI'. 8as Fiuncisco Jan.
