A VOODOOED PILLOW. The Manner in Which a Colored Woman Believed Her Father. An incident which strongly illustrates the peculiarly superstitious disposition ol the Southern" negro, especially in regard % to the mysterious voodoo charms uud their power to harm, came within the notice of a reporter of the Picayune the other evening. On St. Mary street, near the levee, the reporter met a young negro woman walking towards the river, carrying a pillow slung over her right shoulder. She looked neither to tile right nor the left, but straight ahead, with such a strange expression that the curiosity of the reporter was aroused. "Whither arc you going?" he inquir ed. "I'm a-going to the ribber," she an swered, "to drown dis yer hoodoo pil low. Dar's a big hoodoo charm in dat. sar; it made my old father so sick dat for de last two weeks he's ben a-going out of h;s head and a-gettiug thinner and thinner. I "lowed as dere was some hoodoo business, and I felt of his pillow, and sure 'miff] felt de fing in de pillow." "What was it?" queried the reporter. ?"I dasn'fclook" she replied, "but it feels hard and bony-like and I'm gwine to drown it. I does it in dis way when I gets to de ribber bank, I pull out my knife, holds the pillow in my left hand, rip the pillow case and throw dc feath ers into de ribber over my left shoulder. Den L-4ook toward de water and see if de feathers take any shape. If dey arc voodooed, dey'll take some shape of animile or udder and dive under dc water, aud den de charm will be kilt an de ole man'H get well." This supcrtitious belief caused the re porter to smile, and he tried to reason with the woman, but she shook her head and said: "Dc hoodoos am mighty powerful people, sar; dey kin hurt surc's .your born." A few days afterwards the reporter met the same woman aud jokingly in quired about the "hoodooed" pillow. "Ob." she said, "do ole man is all rite now; he kin cat a whole watcr milyuu and lour slices o'bacon aud a big chunk o' corn bread for dinner now. Yes sar. dr feathers was hoodooed. When I frew dem in dc ribber aud 1 looked, dey had taken dc shape ofa dog; den dey changed to a small sheep; den dey looKcd like a duck and tloatcd away, aud deu dey was a white fish that dived in aud never came back. I clapped my hands and said, *Dc ole man's all rite now;' and sure 'null' he's all rite now."?Xew Orleans Picayune. A WAGER COSTS TWO LIVES. Two Men Deceurt Into a Well and are Suffocated t<> Death. BALTIMORE, August 2.?John Car well and Henry Martin lost their lives this morning on account of a bet of s*l. With several other men they bad been digging a well in the yard of the Nation ul Consumer's Meat Company, ouXorMi Paca street. The well was completed last Saturday, aud when the men were about to leave the contractor told them in case (hey should return for their tools on no account were they to go down the well, as he feared there would be an accumu lation of foul air iu the pit. Carwcll aud Martin went for their tools tins morning but could not get them, as the contractor had not arrived. While waiting for him, a bet of one dollar was made between Herbert Hammond, brother of the manager of the cstablsh ment, aud Edward Teunaut, that the water in the well was uot twenty feet deep. Carwcll agreed to be lowered down the well and find out by measure ment. When about twenty or thirty feet dowu, about half the depth of the well, he cried out, t;0, my, this foul air!" but did not' ask to be hoisted up. A short distance from the water is a platform on which a pump is to be placed. On reaching this platform Car well stopped and placed the bucket on it. He stood tor a second or two. stag gered like a drunken man, then pitched head foremost into the water. Henry Martin, seeing his friend's danger he seized the rope and slip down ?the well, bnt lie no sooner touched the platform than he, too, fell into the water. Grap pling irons were procured and the bodies brought to the surface. An examina tion showed that death was caused by suffocation. Doth leave destitute fami lies. TO BE LYNCHED WHEN CAUGHT. A Ul.uk Fiend l*tir*lie<l by IllCuli*e?l Geor gians. Savannah, Ga., August. 14?At the plantation of John Morrison, in Bryan County, on Thursday of this week, Henry Smith, a negro employee, in the absence of all the other members of the family, criminally assaulted Miss idmr ~^Tf8mL?&\xx Mr. ^M?nTison'snrmi___? ? fc* t,lc ?family would be absent untu-late last night, Smith kept his victim a prisoner a day and a half, during which he repented his offense several times. Just previous to bis departure last night, Smith choked Miss Dacon into insensibility and capped his ficudishucss by cutting oil'the end ol her tongue, iu the belicl that she would be thus made unable to tell of her wrongs. Search for Smith was instituted im mediately after the return of the family, aud he was captured during the night, but while preparations to lynch him were in progress he succeeded in getting posession of two guns lclt against a trece by two of his pursuers, and after nearly blowing oil' an arm or one of the men escaped. Another pursuit was instituted at daylight this morning by an armed band, who swore they would kill Smith on sight. At last accounts the posse had not returned, but Smith's death be fore morning is a certainty. It is hinted that lie will be burned at the slake If he can salelv be taken alive.

When the resources of Nature have become retarded, no matter from what (?cause, it is then quite time to help the Liver and Spleen, and other organs, to perform their thorough duty?or we shall soon be quite ill. In such cases I there is no more natural remedy than a mild cathartic, one which will be sure to perform its duty without injuring the system in the* least. Such, let us say in all candor, is Simmons' Hepatic Compound. It will gently move the bowels, without irritating them in the least; when the medicine works, the bowels are soothed and healed like a charm- yet the medicine is more effec tive than Caloihel; one of the principal ingredients possess all the good qualities of that poisonous drug, without any of its constituents. A dose of Simmons' Hepatic Compound every night on going to bed, will infallibly restore health. Testimony of the highest con sideration from every portion of the country, and from all classes of people, abunliantly substantiate this fact. The importance of this treatment cannot lie over-estimated, and it should he tried by all means. Dr. J. G. Wannamaker, Wholesale Agent for Orangcburg County. Cure for Piles.

A Hcnltli v <TrT??Tii7~" npHE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF I the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso ciation is marvellous in the annals of life insurance enterprise. Its name has be come a tower of strength, and has been well earned by the untiring devotion of President llarper and his associates. Its astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks which are best repelled by a frank and full exhibit of its greatly increasing line of business. Up to July ISM, this shows a gain of no less than ?13 214,380 over that of the corresponping period last year. In June alone" its mortuary receipts ex ceeded $230,000, of which over $60,000 went into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress upon which the association justly prides itself. This reserve now amounts to $425, ooo, and is employed for three purposes only?to pay death claims, if any should j occur in excess of the American Experience Mortality Tables; to make good any poss ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account, and to he apportioned among those who have been members of the Association tit teen years, etc. as the first and second contingencies named are not likely to arise, the third object is the one upon which the fund is practically expended. It is full of other good points, among which may be mentioned the economical salary list?less than ?30,000 for earning on the whole work of the vast institution?and payments to widows and orphans at the rate of over ?2,ono cash cash day.?From the old and conservative New York Daily Journal of (Commerce, July 10,1885.

It will commence at 11 o'clock A. M. on Monday, August 30tll, at Mcllichamp's School Rousts in the city of Orangeburg, and continue In session dur ing the week. Prof. Wm. S. Morrison, of the Spartanburg Graded School, Prof. R. Means Davis, of the South Carolina Col lege, and Miss Fannie C. McCailtS of the Columbia Graded School, have been engag ed to conduct it. These teachers have InuW considerable experience in Institute work, and are thoroughly conversant with all the new methods and improvements in the art of teaching. In fact, they are too well known to require any introduction or words of commendation. lie-ides the regular routine of the Insti tute in the morning, Superintendent j Coward, Prof. Joyncs, of the Sounth Caro lina College, Dr. Carlisle, of Woit'ord, and others have been invited to deliver lectures in the evening, and it is hoped that all, or tit least some. Of them will be present. The tuition and lectures will be free, and the only expense will be board for teachers from a distance which has been arranged for at the reduced rate of seventy-five (75) cents per day. This Is a raiv opportunity which the teachers of Orangeburg County should make every sacrifice to embrace. Teach ing is a profession in which teachers should take a pride and utilize every available I means for improvement. The few dollars spent at this Institute n il! pay back many fold in actual information, enlarged con ceptions, and new ideas of school manage ment and teaching. Certificates of attendance will be given to all who attend which should certainly have due weight with Trustees employing teachers. Teachers, come to the Institute for your own good, and come also for your pride in Orangeburg County. Let it not be said that the teaehcrs of Orangebuig County take no interest In their profession; but let it be made manifest by your presence that you recognize the importance of education, and that you arc fully alive to your duties and responsibilities.
