WEEKLY GAZETTE. Published every Saturday. Richard Melrose, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year $2.00 TRANSIENT ADVERTISING: LIFE IN NASSAU, NEW PROVIDENCE. The Negroes and their Ideas—The Climate Enervating. Nassau, Feb. 14.—The most interesting thing in Nassau (Bahamas) is the colored people. It is fortunate that they are interesting because there are so many of them. If one's interest in them should ever pall, life in Nassau might even become oppressive, on account of the swarms of negroes which fill the houses and the streets. They fill the middle of the street as often as the sidewalk, loitering along, chattering and laughing and calling to each other. Their voices are soft and rich, the modulations very sweet, but they all speak broken English. Often it is hard to make out what they mean to say. In the market, where they are all gathered together, or among little bands of them walking along the country roads, you will often hear African spoken." In town, the young women are often decked in white muslins, with fine hats, but the accepted fashion for the settled matrons is an antidy medley of old clothes and a bandana handkerchief with floating ends tied round the head. On top of this is worn a man's hat, jammed down hard. Except when they shuffle around with a pair of old slippers hung on their toes, young and old go bare-foot. Our waitress, in muddy weather, always stops to wipe her bare feet on the door-all as she brings in the dinner from the outdoor kitchen. There are few mulattoes here compared to those in the United States, and a large proportion of the country people are intensely black. Many are Africans, and many more children or grandchildren of pure African parentage. They make a quiet and inoffensive population; crime is rare among them. But, on the whole, they are certainly not an intelligent race. The servants are much slower, duller, and more careless than white servants. They seem unable to keep many ideas in their heads at once, and are capricious and unreasoning, as well as forgetful. It is almost impossible in the street about sixteen miles from opened the night we arrived, riages sent out from towns sufficient to hold all who were a number of invalids on the beach until the cries for them about 10 or 11 rained frequently during they were without shelter.

Many are Africans, and many more children or grandchildren of pure African parentage. They make a quiet and inoffensive population; crime is rare among them. Not on the whole, they are certainly not an intelligent race. The servants are much slower, duller, and more careless than white servants. They seem unable to keep many ideas in their heads at once, and are criticious and unreasoning, as well as forgetful. It is almost impossible in the street to get a colored person to give you a clear direction. They are very superstitious, and carry on many of their African practices. In case of sickness, if they employ a white physician, and the patient does not get well in two or three days they send him off and go to a "bush doctor." This, one of them said to me, was really the most sensible thing to do because a white doctor charges a dollar every time you go to see him, and you have to pay for the medicine besides; but a bush doctor will give you advice and boil you up a big bottle of medicine, all for twenty-five cents. The bush doctors prepare their medicines themselves from herbs and shrubs, envenience they get their title. Perhaps the most logical of all their remedies is that for an elongated palate. They wind the topmost lock of hair on the patient's head around a stick, twist it as close to the head as possible, and fasten it in that position. It is evident that this must pull the palate up into its proper place. They often prescribe the application of different leaves to different parts of the body, according to the ailment. The chambermaid came into the room one morning with a shiny green leaf laid close behind each ear. "They's fine leaves for a sick stomach," she said. The same girl, though involved in the meshes of error medically, was religiously eighteened. She warmly disclaimed any belief in magic; but she assured the German maid who was with us that she would certainly go to hell if she did not say her prayers morning and night on her knees. No other attitude would do to save the soul; and the girl was so earnest in her teaching that she suddenly flung herself down on the floor to show exactly how it should be done. Also she besought the German girl to get married, because no old maid is ever admitted to heaven; but when a woman marries she is safe, as all her sins fall on the soul of her husband. I heard there was a native African bush doctor and professor of witchcraft here, and went to see him. He had spent three years of his youth, they said, in a school for such things, in Africa. He was extremely black, and a perfect savage in appearance, though dressed like his fellows. He spoke little English, and that very broken. He told me my fortune, with the help of three candles, a small looking glass, and a glass of water with a leaf and some black pins in it. The fortune was ordinary, but at the end I asked him what I had better do about the pretended friend who, according to his account, was secretly "witching" me in the most unjustifiable manner. "If you want," he said, "I fix you up something so if you lay a little stick on your doorway and she step on it she go crazy, or go to stealin' and be sent to jail, or anything you like me to fix it. And I fix er stick so call three or four cases we exercised a powerful influence on husbands got home from work." "Brudder Penstock, he pertickler inflorescence of matter of art?" asked the Brother Penstock having made an old, yellow thing of beauty and would never have been the gentler sex. A man tomato can in the back day without a second would seize upon it at the end and transform it into a quisite beauty. Twenty bus with a landscape followed around the street day a six-gallon crock, brella holder, with a view painted all around it in could be drawn all over sled without exciting rejoice come a part of our every woman couldn't even face corner without displaying une talent for the artist.

The GIANT BAKING POWDER is absolutely pure, and contains about one-quarter more than any brand of Baking Powder in use on this Good.

ALERS, M.D. MANUFACTURED BY THE BOTHIN MANUFACTURING COMPANY 17 AND 19 MAIN ST., SAN FRANCISCO FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS He was extremely black, and a perfect savage in appearance, though dressed like his fellows. He spoke little English, and that very broken. He told me my fortune, with the help of three candles, a small looking glass, and a glass of water with a leaf and some black pins in it. The fortune was ordinary, but at the end I asked him what I had better do about the pretended friend who, according to his account, was secretly "witching" me in the most unjustifiable manner. "I if you want," he said, "I fix you up something so if you lay a little stick on your doorway and she step on it she go crazy, or go to stealin' and be sent to jail, or anything you like me to fix it. And I fix er stick so if you step on it, by de blessin' of Almighty God, you won't get no harm at all!" I asked if he knew anything about voo-doo, "Oh, yes." he said; "but voo-doo bad, very bad." He said he didn't dare to use voo-doo here, because he would be caught and punished. If he was only at home in Africa, then he would use it. "With voo-doo," he said in a whisper, "I set right here and make a man's house catch fire anywhere I want. I make a man fall right down dead and lie dere seven day, till de maggots all crawl roun', and den I make him get up and dance!" I asked him if he could tell others how to make the spells. "If I tell I be dead to morrer." "Will other voo-doo men kill you?" "No, de voo-doo kill me." He was like a child frightened by its own imaginations. He seemed really to believe in his own magic and be afraid of it. It was curious to watch the effect of his words on the big, handsome, highly-respectable colored woman I had taken with me. She belonged to the Church of England, had lived for years in the Bishop's family, and before we started ridiculed all belief in such magic. But as we talked about it coming home, it was evident that in the bottom of her heart she believed and was frightened. I think the awful idea of the man having to get up and dance under such unpleasant circumstances had overcome her skepticism. The climate of Nassau is warm, soft, enervating. In summer and autumn the inhabitants are liable to malaria and bilious fevers; but these are rare, though not unknown, in the winter. The trip to Nassau should only be undertaken by the most robust. The climate may be good for some invalids after they get here, but there is too much risk of their being damaged on the way. The voyage in the winter season is apt to be rough, and the methods of reaching the shore, after the ship has come to anchor, still rougher. The vessels now running to Nassau cannot enter the harbor at all, and passengers are taken to land by a small sloop. But under some unfavorable circumstances the vessel may not even be able to lie outside of the harbor, and may land the passengers, transferring them first to a small sloop and afterward to a rowboat, on an absolutely desolate beach.

This happened the night we arrived, and as the carriages sent out from town were entirely insufficient to hold all the passengers, there were a number of invalids obliged to remain on the beach until the carriages could return for them about 10 or 11 o'clock at night. It rained frequently during the evening, and they were without shelter. INFLUENCE OF WOMEN. "I hold beah a letter," said the President of the Limekiln Club as the meeting opened, "axin' dis Club to report its observashuns on de inflooence of de female sex on liberty, pollyticks, art, progress and bizness. Brother Beebe, what do you know of the inflooence of females on de matter of liberty?" Brother Beebe replied that he had of late years observed a disposition on the part of the female sex to do as they pleased, go where they pleased, and carry a bundle of liberty under each arm day and night. One hundred years ago liberty was a persimmon on the highest limb of a tall tree. To-day it was a pumpkin, which anybody could roll along the ground. Everybody breathed it, ate it, and walked arm-in-arm with it, and the masses could no more be deprived of liberty than bob-tailed cows could take the first premium at the State Fair. "Brudder Pickles Smith, what do you know of de inflooence of de female sex on pollyticks?" asked the President. Brother Smith replied that he knew of several wives in his neighborhood who bossed their husband's votes. He could also recall three or four cases wherein women had exercised a powerful influence after their husbands got home from a convention. "Brudder Penstock, has you noticed any pertickler inflooence of de female sex on de matter of art?" asked the President. Brother Penstock had. Such a thing as making an old, yellow, four-gallon jug a thing of beauty and a parlor ornament, would never have been thought of but for the gentler sex. A man would pass an old tomato can in the back yard a hundred times a day without a second look. A woman would seize upon it at the first opportunity. LUMBER YARD PLANING, SAWING, AND MOULDING MILLS.

From the Bisnarck Tribune A few days since a stranger was eating in an Idaho hotel, and beckoning a waiter to him said: "Bring me a glass of water." "Si?" And the nonplussed waiter looked at him curiously. "Bring me a glass of water." The waiter went out into the kitchen and soon returned and said: "Beg pardon, stranger, but that last order of yours has slipped my memory. What is it you want?" "I—want—a—glass—of—water! Do you understand that?" A bright idea struck the waiter and he rushed out to the bar. The barkeeper looked over the labels on every bottle in the house, shook his head and said there wasn't a drop in stock. The waiter returned to the gentlemen and reported, whereupon the latter roared out: "You infernal idiot, don't you understand plain English? I want a glass of water—water to drink—and I want it—quick." In desperation the waiter hunted up the proprietor and told him the story. The landlord looked puzzled, and himself entered the dining room and approached the stranger and said: "Excuse me, sir, but my waiter is a little hard of hearing, I will take your order." "I ordered a glass of water—nothing but straight water." "I'm sorry," replied the landland, "but I can't accommodate you. There is so little call for those foreign drinks here that it doesn't pay to keep 'em. We've got some prime Kentucky whisky in the bar, if you can get along on that." The stranger finished his meal in silence. Stockton, Cal., March 14.—Two boys, while hunting on the Moss tract, to-day, a little outside of the city limits, unearthed the body of a male child about six weeks old. The body was in a sack and was buried three feet under ground. It was attired in an embroidered shirt and had been dead not more than three or four days.
