Thia counts for more than dancing, hiewling, fasting, torturing, and the eariou.s forms of incantation to which the voodoos are given.

HUMAN SACRIFICES. Even human sacrifices have been witneseed by white men in the West Indie,s, and the Catholic Archbothop of Hayti, tells a well authenticated story of how a, young priest of his see in 1893 went to the interior of the is- land, and while disguised vvith bLack- ened face and hands, witnessed the eacrifice of a young child, who was afterwercie devoured by the aesenabled cong rega t ion.
