* Jamaican Voodoo - black magic

This 8 page newspaper has a very interesting article on page 3 regarding the practice of Voodoo or black magic in Jamaica with small one column headings: "Nassau Negroes" and "And Some of the Hair-Raising Yarns They Tell to Strangers". See photos for most of the text.

Also a page 2 reporting on the assassination of Alexander II of Russia.

Other news and advertisements of the day. Complete, minor margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
