i orreapoadeuoe.
A* I lutmiuted in my lust that I wonld
jend you another letter trom this place,
I think it best to maintain my well-known
guniscter for truth by fulfilling the
promise.
The hoapitaiuiea enjoyed here are
worthy of mention. The reception nigh-
befor•• last, at t >e residence of Uon. W.
fl. j; trues, in this city, m honor of his
son’s marriage, was oue long to be re-
jaembered by thofee whi.se presence were
solicited on the oc fusion. Mr. Barn -s
au.1 his most esiimable lady are
not<d far and wide amongst their
nunxxou-* friends for their hospitality;
and ou-tfiis occasion the guests had every
cause to thank them for an evening of
geuuiuo pleasure. Mr. Barnes invited
hw profeasi nal brethren of the bar in a
body, local as well us visiting lawyers.
Col. G. A. Miller, formerly of the Comm
on* Siot, Wits present, and did ample
justice to the rich vim.ds and profuse
delicacies spread Before the asiembkd
guests. At u late hour the asuembluge
retired, highly delighted with themselves
and their amiable host anil hostess.
Opi uk.i is a wonderful town. Every
body s '"Uis to be in a Wonder as to what
will h ippeu next. It is tilled with won-
dtrful peoole, wno do all sorts of won
derail things. There is Ben
Cooper, lor instance, of the Opelika
House, who is u wonder to all wtij ar j
acquaint'd with him. The immense
smoiiut of good humor that lurks within
his obese cot pus is wonderful. Ills betel is
the Kimball House of Opelika, uud Ben
l- the chief engineer. If he ev.-r gets
mud n ibody knows if. Some siy when
lie gels his hack up n maaeshim feel so
badiy that he goes oil’ and cries it out,
and no oue is the wiser lor it. Ben is a
wonder, and snona how to keep up u
good hotel.
Tim luteal sensation of yesterday, in
the absence of u killing, was the com
pletion of the p.istnatic railway. It is
a railway with only one track. Thai’s a
wonderful thing. I took a ride on it
and p-onounce it a tujcesa It is ele
vated in some pi ices twenty feet
above the grounds according
to the deprtssiou or elevation ol
the surface. The projectors and com
pany have a patent for the invention,
and it is bound to bring a eba ige in rail
road transportation. It is yet in its in-
fuucy, but enough has been demou-
siruleil to prove conclusively that the
mechanical principles ooutroliug its con
struction. are natural and practical it
is attracting considerable attention, ami
1 was informed by a member of the stock
company that they had retused #500,000
for a half interest in the invention and
patent.
Another wonderful thing I saw. A
track raiser on one oi toe railroads hit-
invented and patented a car coupling ui-
raugemeut, which is bound to
work a revolution in that hue oi
business. I examiued the model
myself, and uin fuily satisfied that it will
tuke the place of all other car couplings.
It 1-- simple and plain, and explains itscll
at a glance. The inventor has a fortune
in ins grasp, and I would not be surprised
U the law required railroad companies to
use this invention on their trains. It
will save time, trouble uud the lite of
rnuuj a poor fellow who follows rhe coup
ling business for a living.
i’no Hooper-i’hillips case is auother
wonderful thing. The preliminary trial
is being conducted daily before a t’hau-
cery Judge and the circuit Judge of th s
District. Over oue hundred and fifty
witnesses remsiu to be examined yet, uud
it the rate they are going on if wdl con-
>ume six mouths in the preliminasy in
vestigation. In the meau time Hooper
is rut on the streets, apparently uucou-
cernea as to what is going on. I saw
mm at a party last, night, pla
cidly talking with the girls. Public
opinion is somewhat divided us to the
guilt or iunooence of the young lady. In
fact, the investigation us now conducted
is h>r the purpo>o of establishing kei
ckuract r, uud the killing seems to have
been lost sight of for the tine. All up
pen to agree, however, ou one import
ant point, and that is Hooper will never
be puuisht d by law for the killing. Why
this unanimity of opinion is another
wonder, for which Opelika is so prolific.
Time alone will ted what wll be. i’n«
very able counsel employed for tut*
defense may iu some manner account for
it. It is difficult to get a cuu lid expres
sion of opinion from any oue ucre on the
men s oi tue case.
Only three persons have been killed in
t’lis neighborhood w.tlun tue past five
days. A policeman Killed m lurLqileut
negro whom no >vu» uucinptiug loarresi,
aud whom the negro made efforts to kill.
A row last buuday at a negro church tie-
low here between themselves resulted in
tue death of a man aud a woman. Pro
miscuous firing by a d JZeu pels us *uto
u crowded church is bounu to result iu
au unhealthy state fo- some'i > ly.
The Alabama House is another good
institution of this vvouuerful place, and
its ruu of custom is very heavy.
Crops in this neighborhood are fair
aud promise well. The health of the
community is splendid. Nobody I can
bear of is sick but George.

House, iu order to witness a cuarming
cantata, rendered by Miss Verdery tud
her bewitching pupils, and there we
fouud the assembled beauty and chivalry j * tyle '
cf ihe town on the tiptoe oi expectation,
and soon the entertainment was opened
by the celebrated Prof. Freyer, accom
panied oy Miss Verdery, in the rendition
of the exquisite overture to the “Caliph
of Bagdad. ’
Our esteemed fellow-citizen ot Atlanta,
G<*u. Colquitt, wae then introduced, ami
right well d d he acquit himselt aud .sus
tain his reputation iu his short, well-
timed and Happily received address, ai-
fordiug a rich fund for entertainment,
no less lor his practical common sense
ideas than for the wit aud satire de
veloped in his sly but pungent thrusts at
common foibles and the prevailing foil.es
of the day.
Miss V. and Prof. F., after the address
was over, favored us wit > a favorite gal
op, aud oue of those delightful reveries
that mikes oue forget for the t'rno being
all sublunary tuings and imagine kmi-
seif an inhabitant of the spheres above.
Then followed the cantata proper, and
we feel that we cauuot do justice iu our
limned space to this portion of the per
formance. It was full of charming solos,
sparkling choral songs, and bewitching
scenic effects ot liviug beauty. There
were some twenty-five or tkiity missi s
and youi-g ladies, each representing a
llowtr, save oue, who filled the character
of a recluse, and we do think,
that we would, with Oowper, sigh,
•• Oh for a lodtfe in some vast wildeyi^ss,
Some bouudiosji continuity of bliadtv*
if we could bm r*ave such a recluse for
a companion.
We regret that ae could not learn the
mimes ot the various vou.ig ladies who
sustained the principal parts iu the canj
tata. We learned, however, only the
names of the Misses Marsh, Morrison,
Peacock and Verdery. We cannot close
this letter without paying a tribute to the
master mindoi Miss Verdery, the teacher,
whose training and culture was so ad
mirably displayed in this rare perform-
aiioe.
Oartersville certainly bean the palm
for beauty. We never saw a more spark

sp’cuons among bright eyes and lovely
