What the CoIored People Think.
In a conversation last week with
w. II. Daniel, colored school teach
er here, he told us be did not think
the civil rights bill ought to pass; that
he was opposed to mixed schools, and
thought the children would do much
better separate. He thinks his people
here are generally opposed to it, and
prefer to have their children educated
separately 1t would indeed be a
great misfortune to these people if the
bill should pass, as they would then
be without schools entirely.
The negroes generally of this city
are inclined to attend to their OWN
business and leave politics alone.

The New York Herald asks "if Grant
has done nothing for the South in six
years but confirm the wretched rule of
the Caseys. Kelloggs and Moseses,
what have we right to expect in four
more years?" It thinks the Southern
third term aspirations are unsound.
We hold ourselves in reserve upon
that subject, and whit to see how
things will look when the time comes
to decide. The Herald, in connection
with the subject, says one good thing,
namely. that what the South wants is
one term for some bold, earnest, manly
leader. who will neither whine nor
mourn, bnt lead the people to "a full
conception of the truth that the South
ern people must save themselves.

TIE COMET AND THE P1rrsp une D1s.

TE9.-Since and before the dsysSoi
Seneca, the discovery and ,snpsarahce
|9t e3mett have been regarded with
/ great dread. j as having something oi
she nature ot miraculous appearances
and ns foretelling some dread ooour.
renee. The idea that the contact oi
the tail OF comet with any portion OF
the globes surface would produce an
Immediate destruction OF the world
was at one time accepted by many OF
our wisest men, and the day when
women and children would hide their
heads under their bed pillows ut night
to prevent being witnesses to the dread
catastrophe belongs hardly to pust
generutlon. The question as to the
lnHnnnce OF comets, meteoro!ogicul.y
speMking. over this earth has long beer
subject of scientific olsen ,siou, but
we believe no detiuite conclusion has
been reached as yet. except that the
tail, being nebulous in iis chuructcr,
when it struck the atmosphere OF the
globe, would be broken as Al cloud and
become diifused over the surface
thereof. Nevertheless, the co,nc.
dences characteristic Of the appear
ancs OF comets upon the Northern
hemisphere have been remarkable.
The records show us that in 1911 a
comet Of unusual brilliancy appeared,
and that there were great floods in
Scotland and Ireland. and that several
Irish villages wore entirely destroyed,
with majority of their inhab:tnnts
The atmosphere in those districts was
at very low temperature, while in
London the thermometer stood at 1T
ut London Tower. Lnter, in Juue,
1858, comet was discovered by Do.
natl, in Florence, and that season wss
characterized by disastrous foods III
the South and West of America. Now
wo have had Coggia's comet, uud ere
the departure of this nebuIous visitor
has been announced We have tile Pitts
burg catnclysm. which has brought
death aud ruin to so mnhy house
holds. Low temperatures were pre-
dicted for the parigee period of Cog
gia's comet, some time since, aud, rs "a
contemporary says, those temperatures
may have had "mnch to do with con
densing these floating vapor masses
and precipitating their watery reser.
voirs upon the face of the earth. -
Scientists entirely repudiate the idea
that the approach Of comet towards
the earth menuces it with any serious
danger. Nevertheless, these rema,ka.
BILE condolences of changes of tenn
pernture and floods are worthy of
investigation; and in this day, when
We Gun predict SO accurately the wea-
ther and the temperature. we should
certainly be able to get some insight
into these atmospheric phenomena
and the influence TINT these periodical
aud strange visitors have upon the
elements.

We published : few days ago, from
the New Orleans Times, an account Of
the finding Of the body of beautiful.
golden.haired girl of sixteen, floating
in the river opposite Carrolton. Il was
said that the girl was elegantly dressed, :,
and that there was no clue whatever to
her identity. And now the Bulletin
comes along and knocks the romance
from the story. 1t says the "girl" was
fifty-eight, instead of sixteen years ol1, !,
that her remains. dress, ornaments,
etc., were identified, and that cher
hair was false and pinned on--in fact,
it was made of jute."
