LIGHTNING.PROOF,

The coroner swindled Out OF a Job.
During the violent thunder storm Sun
day afternoon the lightning struck a
board shanty on the bayou, near the
corner of Lauderdale and jackson
streets. The roof of the shsnty was de-
molished, boards and splinters flying in
all directions. A negro man and woman
occupying the dwelling were struck by
the thunder-bolt and knocked senseless.
They both came to, however, but are
suffering from the prostrating effects Of
the shock. Coroner Spelman, hearing
that two negroes had been killed, hurried
out to the scene of the troubles. On
arriving, after having his umbrella blown
away by the wind and receiving a thor
ough w%ettingN be found a negro sitting on
the doorstep of the shattered building.
rs anybody dead2' asked the Coroner.
"Yes, boss, my sister was killed, she was
struck by dis thunder-bolt," and he ex-
hibited a fragment of rock, which had
been hurled through the roof. well
that's all right; I'm going to hold an
inquest" replied the b~ody-seeking Off
cial. mo, sir, / reckon not; my sister
was dead, but she come to; she is in dar
in bed" The Coroner left in disgust.

form which appeared was, to the mind of
our reporter, the same hight, figure, out
line and features as Mrs. Miller is
blessed with-at least they appeared so
to his eyes. From the trick standpoint
it was cleverly done, but from the mate
rallied standpoint it was incomplete,
and not finished up-probably owing to
the darkness. Our reporter was rather
disappointed than otherwise, the seance
not coming up to his great expectations
as an artistic performance, even from a
spiritual point Of view.
Our reporter asked Of Brother Watson
il any person would be permitted to sit
in the cabinet with the medium during
the naturalization, and if so, be offered
to 90 in; but this would not be permitted
by the spirits. Many were in attendance
who believed the entire affair to be the
direct work Of spirits, or the effect Of a
spirit in moving matter, or in material
iziRg itself, but our reporter believed no
such thing, nor did he see or hear any.
thing that was convincing in this respect
to his mind. he is certain that il be was
permitted to take a seat with the medium
in the cabinet the so called materializa-
ton could not take place; and be is
equally certain that if he had been per-
mitted to take the hand Che will run the
risk of retaining it), the hand would be
found to belong to Mrs. Miller's body, or,
if not, to some other human being Of the
female sex-s confederate of the me.
dunn. In the above our reporter gives
his impressions and convictions created
by the seance last night, but he esks no
person to so believe with him, as each
mortal is entitled TO receive Impressions
and form convictions for himself or her.
self. Our reporter would like to pay
another visit on some other occasion
and for the invitation last evening he
thanks Brother Watson, to whose po-
likeness and courtesy he was indebted for
the same.

OUR NElGnRORS.

When the Journal first unfurled its
banner and called upon the public for
patronage, its columns were filed with
long, wise and logical editorials, as
we'll as all the local news of town and
county. How is it now? Our legal
friends seem to have lost u great por.
ton of their interest in the paper. We
are indeed sorry to see the energy
they first displayed giving way.
We had expected to see their columns
filled this week with lively editorials
on the coming Fair, and other local
matters, of interest to our citizens, but
they have certainly failed to come up
to the expectation of their friends.
We hope they will do better next week.
Remember that a great deal is OK,
pected of "a paper that has so long
been needed in this county"
