DOUBTS THE SINCERITY OF
ESPERANCE. -

Cov1SGToS, La, Aug. %. 1885.
EDITOR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
read communication in your
last weeks paper. in reply to one
in the foregoing issue. with a mix
ture of feeling. I am not acqunint-
ed with your correspondent. but !
came to the conclusion, after pc
rusing his article, that he was
either far greater stranger in the
vicinity than myself. or else pitia-
bly, superficial critic. But after
considerable additional informa-
ton gained on the subject OH which
he wrote. I entirely changed my
opinion. and l think-I am sure-
l detected fine but strong under
tone and tinge of sarcasm through
the whole. 1t is fine-very fine
and subtle still. I am glad I am
not in any club. ] wish your cor
respondent would exert himsel
again, for the benefit of the public.
Whether he is old or young. ricl,
or poor, I have no knowledge; but
he possesses fine vein of humor,
which l enjoy and appreciate. and
after the third reading I felt a
strong desire for a handshake with
the writer Of that article, as I am
rot identified with the people. and
80 am safe from bis shillalah strokes.
However fattering his remarks app
pear ut first. l am convinced they
bear an under meaning. He seems
as fond of playing upon peoples
credulity as upon words, and he is
as much master OF one as the other.

LIGHTNING FLAsHEs.-On Frida,
of last week MIR. Chas. Bradley's
kitchen was struck by lightning.
Fortunately nobody was hurt.
On the same day lightning struck
the cistern at Mulberry Grove Ho-
tel, and glanced into the house. A
man engaged in repairing the iron
safe was knocked senseless, and
several servants were knocked
down, but none OF them were seri.
ously hurt.
One day last week one of Mr..
Robert Badon's wood-choppers, /.
colored man. sat down by a tree
and stuck match to light hi,
pipe. during thunder storm, when
lightning struck the, tree. He es-
capped unhurt, and declares to the
LORD he Will never strike match
again when there is any lightning
around.
The telephone pole in the rear of
the FARMER Office was also struck
by lightning one day last week, but
not damaged.
