J.C.Truiiinger COLORED PEOPLE. TORESTRAINED JOLLITY. Evening Aiaascnients Innocent Son8 and Pastimes ofWorfliy Fellow Citizens. The coloied population of Philadel phia is increasing every year and this town has now the largest colored population of any Northern city. Delaware, Man-land, Virginia and North Carolina "contribute the most, while South Carolina and Georgia send many. "While a great many im prove theopportunitiea here afforded and seek material and mental bet terment, a large number still cling to their old superstitions, customs, and traditions. Conjuring and the attainment of ends by tho aid of "charms" and fetishes are still firmly believed in as during ante bellum times. A down-town herb doctor or "gupherer" does a very lucrative business in combining tlfe offices of leech and medium and re tailing "charms" at prices within the reach of the moat humble of his callers. In the Seventh ward there is a colony ol Southern colored people i who clan together and look with suspicion upon their neighbors of like hii3 who are " Yankees." . Their worship in a little mis3ion-room on Lombard Street, below Eighth, is characterized by all the emotional demonstration that marks such gath erings south of Mason and Dixon's line. Minister and congregation are al ways in close sympathy, and when ever the lormer demonstrates the presence of the Spirit by unusual fervor it is not an uncommon occur rence for the aisles to be thronged with shouting worshipers aswaying, singing, half-frenzied mass of human ity. Then some white-haired protq- tvpeof Uncle Tom begins a low chant. that could be scarcely called a hymn. while the shouting members beat time with their feet and join sob bingty in the refrain. And so far into the night the fantastic worship is continued, the sounds from within the close little room ringing out strangely on the still night air. Their games duler but little from their mode of worship. Both are in tensely emotional, and the songs of the games seem to have the same physical effect on the participants as the wild spirit of worship on a con gregation. EVENING AMUSEMENTS. From a little frame shanty on Lombard Street, below Seventh, one night last week, came the sounds of unrestrained jollity. A visitor stooped to enter tho low doorway, and stepping down about half "a foot found himself in a plain, uncar peted little room. The only adorn ment on the walls was three theater lithographs and the room was lighted by a smoky oil lamp. Several lasses of varying shades and as many gal lants were laughing heartily" over some joke, but stopped upon the entrance of the new arrivals. Old Peter, a character of the neighbor hood, who had acted as guide, pre sented tho stranger as his friend and the latter was at once placed on amicable terms with the company. " What you people waitin' fur?" asked Peter as he glanced around. " Tho't you'd a begin yer games time. I got ycre." "AVe'se waitin' fur Ike an' lie's not got yere yit," answered a belle, attired in a red jersey with a huge red bow of the same color stuck on the side of the head. At this instant the door opened, there was a general exclamation of "Yere he is!" and a dapper little negro entered. Ike, Peter explained, as that gentleman was making his excuses, was the " chimer," who was in demand on all festive occasions. He was conversant with many games and could always remember or im provise couplets suitable for any occasion. The couples formed a ring and joined hands. Tho miss with a red jersey Btood in the center of the circle and. as it began to move around her, led by tho " chimer," the company sang: "'Go roun', go roan de candy, Go roun' de candy gil. She lubs some o'her feller, Go round de candy gal. " You tech 'er a yer hai do stick; You kiss 'er an' she like ter kick, Pat ol e candy gal. "She gallus like'n ole pea hen; She smile like de sun on jailer men, Dat ole candy gal. " Site- berry fluxrum dbcum, too; Sbn berry brash like young Miss Sue, Dat olo candy gal. "Go roun', go roun de candy, Go roun' de candy gal. An' now I knows she lubs me. Go roun' de candy gal. Do cand, de candy, dat street ole candy gal." During the singing of the last stanza the " Candy Gal," by a coy smile and a coquettish nod, indicated her choice among the men, who stepped into the circle and arm in arm they promenaded, whilo the song was resting. Then another miss took the ring and the same procedure was repeated ad libitum. The amount of fun they extract from this Bimple play is something striking. Each face was lighted with a broad smile as if in anticipation of some good joke, and once when one of the girls stumbled over her part ner's brogans, the singing was de moralized for the time and the room rang with hearty laughter. OLD-TIME GAMES. " Dese gajnejL ain't what dey use ter be," sighs Peter, as the singing stops. " Dar wuz a time onst we'en times wur more libely like and de boys wanted ter meek a good 'press hun had ter shake a mean foot an t'or's de double shuffle all ter flinders. Wen dey didn't have music dey used ter pat an' sing : " 'Juba dis an' Juba dat. Juba eat de yaller fat.' " An' it ain't ebery scrub as can dance ' Juba,' cither." Den de boys an' gals both used ter 'wing,' an some of dero feet fanned fro' de air so dey'd cut yer like a razor 'f diy"! hit yer. De "young folks nowaday git dese Yankee notions inter d head an' feel too high-tone ter 'win' leastways de gals do. Some o t. boys are berry fine at it, but dey on sho it off at de dances. A" n 1 winger,' dough, 's an ornerment s'ciet" The couples arranged themselves on the floor again in two lines, facing each other, and began to mark time by stamping their feet and clapping their hands. This was kept up for a brief interval. Then they sang : " Steal my lub, I steal 'cr back, Ain't goin' ter rain no mo'. Old 'Glnny coon am good on' black. Ain't goin' ter rain no mo. I " Rain a little, snow a little, Ain't goin ter rain no mo. Young Miss Sweet like 'possum meat, Ain't goin ter rain no mo'. " My lob she is a gall as girl, Ain't goin' ter rain no mo', Her eye do shine an' her ba'rdo curl. Ain't goin' ter rain no mo. Rain, storm, blin'Tom, Ain't goin' ter rain no mo. A niggcr'n feet it can't be beat," Aint' goin' ter rain no mo', So steal my lub, I btcal her back, Ain't goin' ter rain no mo." Then each amorosa recovered his dulcenia, who, in turn, was taken from him to the other side again, each time the " chimer" introducing new couplets, and the rest of the players joining in the refrain, and they ceased only when the perspira tion was streaming down their faces. At a call from an aged negress, with her head tied in a bran new bandana, who had all along sat quietly in the little kitchen, they trooped out of the room to partake of an inconceivable amount of cold chicken, pigs' feet, chicken pot-pie, ham and cabbage, pickled tongue, fruit, pies, and dough nuts that tho old " mauma " had nrnnarcd. " BEOWN.ir(f-?Jtfcf-- ""What you goin' fur?" asks Peter with an offended air. " You ain't seen de best pa't of de fun yit. You'se not goin' widoutseein' Brown, sho'? "Wait till dem young folks done fill dcre stomicks ; dey feel jus' like shoutin' den an' cle Brown'll shake up things mightv livelv, I tell yer." Tho repast was finally completed and the company came, laushing and joking, into tho room. "Now we'll liave Brown," said the "chimer," and the announcement was met with shouts of " Yes, Brown 1" " Oh, Miss Brown !" " Brown, Brown I" At the same time a clapping of hands and stamping of feet was begun, while the cries for Brown became more frequent and vociferous. Then they sang: " 11 Us Brown she like sugar an' tea, Miss Brown she like candy; An' all I want is a nice young man To be so very bandy. Brown! Oh, Brown! Oh, Brown! " Oh, mister, you turn under; Ob, Mister Brown, come dis way; Oh, Mister Brown, you turn under; Oh, Mister Brown, come an' play. Brown! Brown! Brown! Ob, Brown! "Oh, Mister Brown, a little faster; Oh, Mister Brown, shake your feet; Oh, Mister Brown, a little faster; Oh, Milter Brown, come right neat Oh, Mister Brown, you turn under; Oh, Mister Brown, come dis way. Brown! Brown 1 bo! ho! Brown!" Any one of the male players as sume'd the identity of " Brown" aud in that role darted across the room and secured Miss Brown, then back to his station. Another " Brown " went through the same maneuvre, then another and another. The time grew faster, the couples darted mo"re rapidly across the little space, fol lowing each other in quick succes sion. Faster and faster, until the rapid tramping of feet seemed like that of a regiment of soldiers on a double-quick. "Brown, Brown, oh, Brown!" sounds high above the noise asif in invocation. The couples ceased running backward and for ward, and all shouting "Brown," clapping their hands and swaying their bodies to and fro in the wild ex citement, they whirled and surged about. Little spirals of dust rose from the crevices of the floor. The room became filled with dust, still the wild revel goes on. "With dusty faces gleaming in the dim light and eyes bloodshot and staring from the wild exertion, they kept it up. The old woman who had been looking on from the kitchen doorway joined the revel. Its wild spirit seemed infec tious and he spectator felt an im pulse to yell. It is pandemonium the wild tarantula dance, one of the savage rites of the sun-worshipers, and these the devotees who exert them selves until they fall exhausted and E rostrated to tho earth. Peter, who as been twisting nervously in his seat all along, unable to withstand the impulse longer, has added him self to the shoutere, and his voice, as if inspired, chimes in the weird swaying, surging, and jumping, and intent on their wild sport, the visitor is entirely ignored. He is a mere atom, a thing not of their paradise ; so unnoticed he gains the door and steps into the street As the dis tance increases between him and the phantasmagoria tho sounds of "Brown 1 Oh, BrownJ" become fainter and fainter, until thev gradu-' ally melt in the distance.
