As announced, the Rev. W. G. Black
OF Natehez, Miss, delivered! lecture on
the theme .'Giimpses of Glory" at the
Methodist church, on last Weduesdav
evening. A large and an intelligent
audience were in attendance 10 hear
this distinguished divine; and to say
they We're pleased at tile eEoauence and
profound learning which fell from, his
lips would not be expressive enough. be
eaase they were not only pleased Isat
We're entFaHced and startled by lis
grand and scientific development Of
Gods sublime panerama-the firma-
ment, or as the eminent speaker termed
-"Glimpses of Glory
If We had the time and space to give
our readers synopsis of this grand lee
ture on the snblimest of subjects, yet
we confess our inability TO give them ii
correct syllabus of so great an intellect
ual treat. In his striking portrayal of
astronomical calculations, of the DIS
tances of planets from our earth,
OF the velocity of light which indicated
the illiunitable immensity of space, Of
the laws of gravitation governing the
heavenly bodies, and of the cumulative
proof OF all Of these things, to prove an
Infinite, 0mniseient, and omnipotenf
mind to bring this grand mechanism
out OF chaos the speaker showed him
self scientist of high order az will AZ
q theologian Of profound learning and
well established convictions. Every one
of our citizens without reference to
creed or sect should have heard this
magnificent effort. We question: if
Opelousas has ever listened to its equal,
GU any theme, in the past, oF.that it will
be surpassed i'll the future. The Rev.
Mr.. Bluck viii preach sermon On the
. Immortality Of the Soul, = at the Meth
odist Church, on tomorrow fSundayl
at 4 O'Clock If there are any intitiels
in OF near 0pelousas, they should hear
what this eminent aud gifted divine has
TO say on that day
The Opelousas courier. [volume] (Opelousas, La.) 1852-1910, 1883-05-19

To prevent and punish driving OF carts and
wagons over the bridges within the cor
porate limits of the town of 0pelousas in
any other gait than an ordinary walk, and
providing penalties for violation OF The.
y same.
Whereas, the large number of bridges re-
auIred IN the corporate limits Of 0peiousas
necessarily entails heavy expense on the cor
psratien treasury; and
Whereas. the driving of carts and wagons
at a faster gait than an ordinary walk tears up
said bridges, making it necessary for the town
authorities to regulate same.
Be it therefore resolved. That it shall here
after be anlaWful4or any one to driveany cart
or wagon ever any bridge within the corpora
tiau faster than an ordinary walk; that it
shall be the duty of the Constable or any spe-
eial otIicer to arrest any one violating this or

's Fhs politicians are always at ii fix
ing mp siatesl but if the papers have
anything to say on the subject that does
not agree with the interests Of the poll
tieians, they are invited to keep quiet,
~ it is premature to start political dis
cussion'
We clip this paragraph froal ane oi
our exchanges, and, putting tiiis and
that together are led to suspect that
this paper was intended to be referred
To by It's writer. If this superstition is
correct, We desire TO say that the fnsiit-
nation contained in SAID paragraph IS
simply false. The COURIER, in suggest
ing that it vas yet too early to open
the campaign of 1884, was not carrying
out the suggestion of any politician, bat
on the contrary was prompted partly
by the reason that it desired TO keep
aloef from that pestifereiEs class "a lang
rs possible Politicians have no use for
newspapers except IN = political cam
paign, aud newspaper men would act
wisely if they held themselves alaof from
their haIeraI Influence altogether 70
say nothing of the anwisdam Of rushing
headlong into a weary and disgusting
twelve mouths campaign for their benf :
tit and at their bidding. For the poll
ticians and office SEEKERS are the i,ene-
fieraries after alt not the newspapers,
and still lass the people.
