The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-07-11

The only newspaper in Mississippi that is
edited by colored men publishes an article in
which it asserts that the time has come for the
colored people to take new departure, cut
loose from the political adventurers who, while
protesting all sorts of friendship for the negro
voters, only use them to accomplish their SIMS
ter designs, and join in with men Of character
and responsibility in the community, who are
bound to the soil of the State by ties stronger
than offices and political emolument.
The colored voters in the South are learning
that their selEconstituted leaders are as selfish
as they are unprincipled, and that they can not
impoverish the whites by their schemes of public
robbery without inficting equal injury on the
blacks, whose interests are inseparably connected
with those of their white neighbors. 1t will be
long before the influence of the carpet-baggers
over the blacks in all the Southern States will
be gone. and then the colored voters will naturally
seek the advice of the best class OF white citizens
in regard to the choice Of public officers, as they
now look to the same class fer counsel and assist
ance in the ordinary efairs of lfe.-N. r. Sun.

What Lightning Stroke is Like.

Mr.. A. Castle, whose experience in being struck
by lightning we alluded to last week, has told ms
all about 1t, and we are content to take his word
for it. AS the storm came up he put his team in
the barn and sat down in the door, facing the in
side. The stroke Of lightning which killed his
horses and prostrasted him did it's work too
swiftly to give him the slightest warning of its
coming. His first remembrance upon returning
to consciousness was of hearing his dan yhter,
who had run down from the house, about twenty
five rods distant, exclaim, col father ia dead I''
Upon opening his eyes, the whole air and sky
seemed to be III blaze. He also became CON.
scious OF the most intense suffering, and es~
peclaily IN his lower limbs. He says the pain was
Ike that OF burn. and that he could not have
suffered more FOR the hour that followed if he had
been held in the flames
SHis wife and daughter, upon seeing that he
was still alive, desired to remove lin to the
house, but he begged to be left where he was
and not to be disturbed, as he felt that he could
I'VE but few minutes, and that he might as well
die there as to be put to the needless torture of
removal. AS he seemed to gain strength, how
ever, he was soon taken to the house and made
as comfortable possible, but eight OF ten hours
lower limbs. The left hip and leg seemed to be
more affected than the rig hit, and the symptoms
for time indicated tina. the bones were injured.
But these have passed away and only slight
lameness now remains. The right lung has been
very sore ever nee the occurrence, but this may
have been caused by an injury received in falling
The mark of the lightning is apparent from the
shoulders to the calf of the right leg, in the
shape of broad, irregular strip, from which
the skin has peeled Off az though it had
been scalded.-- Wkite,odter lAiclt.) Reqistey.

Heirs VS.. the Almighty.
lChicago Tribune

A curious lawsuit is pending before the United
States Court ut Springfield, Ill. The heirs of
Stephen Griffith, who died at the age of Sc, seek
to set aside certain conveyances of land made to
8 vow, registered by Griffith many years ago,
when he was in tight place financially, that if
he got out Of it safely he should give the Lord
the full credit, and donate all his wealth to the
cause Of religion. He did come through all right,
and made his will according to promise, but his
heirs, believing that good luck and early rising
had more to do with it than the Lord, take the
ground that the property was conveyed without
quidpro ono, and that the conveyance is there
tain that Grifith's prosperity was due to divine
interposition, and in behalf of the Lord will in.
sist that the bargain be carried out. It will re-
man for the Court to decide. first, whether the
result was due to supernatural agency, and, il
30, whether the religious societies are authorized
to collect the Lords claims. The question of
Griffth's sanity is also involved.

HPOOr Fellow -

"Poor fellow!' What a world of mockery il
concentrate in those words A poor fellow is a
kind of waste butt for superfuous pity and the
dregs of sympathy. Compassion is not kindly
administered, but carelessly thrown to him. His
name is mentioned at tables where once he sat
the sound of it a vision of a threadbare coat OF
doubtful color; Of napless hat with a crown
that flaps up and down with the wind, and with a
fabby rim that never will flap up again vision
of leaky shoes, Of greasy trowsers, of lantern
jaws, and long gray hair, and the guests say,
Poor fellow!"
Then they drink their wine to drown their
thoughts of him, thus laying the ghost in red
sea. A poor fellow is like drone in autumn !;
there is something passing melancholy IN the
slowness Of its gait, and there is in its form an
aspect that which tells story Of bygone sum-
mer-of an eva escent bri 2htness-a temporary
futter and gayety; but cold winds are come, and
gloomy sky, and the poor shiveripg drone is
creeping to as warm death as he can find. The
pity with which men look upon poor fellow is as
different from the compassion with which they
regard poor man as is the praise they bestoT
on good fellow from the respect with which
they treat good man.
There is something painful in the familiarity Of
pathy. Even the truly generous feel some re-
pugnance in administering to poor fellow which
they do not feel in relieving poor man. A poor
fellow reminds you Of gay days; and there
is thought not to be surmounted,
that some moral obliquities have assisted
to form the downward slope into the val
ley OF adversely. But the poor fellow him
pre- sent with the past. He knows that the past
will never be present again; therefore he wishes
the present to be past as soon as possible The,
Commonwealth.
