Elder fifth, a colored brother
of st. Joseph vicinity, sprang
into notoriety among his race this
week by predicting an earthquake
for Tensas parish for Friday the
10th inst. The Elder claimed to
have had a "vision," in which
he saw in all its appalling horror
the dire calamity above recited,
but which by some peculiar favor
of Divine Providence was to be
confined to Tensas parish-thus
proving this to be Gods country,
as we have so long claimed, for
the Good Book says, "WhOmso-
ever loveth | chasteneth." How
ever the Elder was disappointed
in that his quake didn't come,
showing that his must have been
pipe dream,-a disease of which
he unfortunately has not been
the only sufferer-Commander
Peary may be similarly effected.

the great credit of this young man
