To Tilt Kuttosa or THE UlLTiALO: Upon arrival in LaGrange we found the streets presenting a very quiet and deserted appearance, and npon inquiring the cause we learned that almost the entire population of that elegant city had repaired to the park of Mr. McLendon, the old home of the gifted B. H. Uill. This spot had been selected as a suitable place for a picnic and a most appropriate choice it was. We were cordially invited to the grounds by some young gentlemen and when there found an assemblage of refined gentlemen and lovely women unsurpassed anywhere. Really we are glad to have been born and reared in ilie same delightful middle Georgia iu which this elegant little city is located. Through the kindness of Mr. A. K.

To tbs Editors oy ths Herald: Your notice that W. C. Moroan, io company with Dr. Roberts, one oi the Elders of the Christian Chnrch in Sandersrille, bad de manded of me, as State Evangelist, an inves tigation of the ‘ reports’ circulated, damaging to his reputation os a Christian gentleman, and that I had appointed a commission for that purpose to sit in Sandersville on tbe 9th inst., makes tbe following statement nec essary: Since my arrival in this city, I learn th.t the churches to which Mr. Moreau bad been preaching, seeing and heariog these ‘reports,’ had, previous to my appointment, themselves appointed a meeting and ordered Moreau to appear before them to answer said charges. famous, we visited the widely known bat in describable Ferrell’s garden which blooms in beauty and is odorous with tbe fragrance of gorgeous flowers. Here Georgia’s most gifted authoress canght her inspiration, and in these bowers many lovely maidens have been wooed and won by tbe highest types of manhood ever known in tbe world—gifted, educated, refined and impulsive Southern men. Here we spent an hour of unequaled enjoyment. LaGrange has many reliable, strong business firms. One of the best of these, the house of Evans & Ragland, placed ns under peculiar obligations. There is a flourishing female college here, finely at tended, presided over by that well known educator, Professor Cox. Among tbe number of pleasant new acquaintances formed during our brief stay were the Dis. Ridley, worthy disciples of Escalapius. Leaving LaGrange at five o’clock, we bowled along down to that thriv ing young city. West Point This city, al though tfle population numbers only 3,000 to 3,500, does more business than any place of equal size in the Stale. It is surrounded by a wealthy and populous country, and its trade comeB from Alabama an well os this State. Although an embryo city it has all the ap pointments incident to older ones—in the way of colleges, academies, fire and dramatic com panies. boat clubs, etc. Half a million has been invested in two successful cotton facto ries here since the war. Some of her busi ness houses rank among the first in the State, several houses selling over $200,000 each per annum. They have a splendid Hotel there It is but justice to Moreau to add that be re quested the churches to defer all action in bis cose until after the sitting of my commission; but they felt that if tbe reports were true they were the parties principally aggrieved, aud -V| ^ determined that Moreau should appear and | under the charge of Messrs. Higginbotham answer before them. They intended and did “ send delegates to represent them before the commission, but having already tried the ca.* e I considered them disqualified to sit in a new trial. I am constrained to regard these pro ceedings as irregular, but as the churches are The Kansas City Times has the following notice of a heavy suit against a leading Insur ance Company. We know nothing of the truth of the matter, and merely republish from that journal. If it is true, it is but right that the people should know it. How- r, w® do not believe it, as the company is and has always been one of the strongest Weetern companies. This, no doubt is a fight of the ' minority stockholders against the majority: A HEAVY LAW SUIT. St. Louis, May 2, 1873. A suit was commenced to-day in the Cir cuit Court of this county by Frederick Lele, against tbe St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company. The petition of the plaintiff states that previous to 1869 tbe Company did a large and remunerative business,and that the annual income from premiums was a million and a half of dollars, but that the Directors have wasted and misapplied this fund in pur chasing ground and erecting a building costing nearly a million dollars, thus unlaw fully and improperly diverting the funds of the company, which should have been ap plied to dividends to policy holders; that many of the Directors of the Company were interested io said building as contractors, and charged prices for work and materials largely in excess of the current rates at th e time; that the Directors have loaned to themselves and their relatives and friends large sums of money belonging to the Com- C iny, aggregating over a half a million dol- rs, on insufficient or no security at all, they knowing the loans to be UK8APE AMD IMPRUDENT investments; that the business of the Compa ny had been conducted in a wasteful and ex travagant manner, its expenses for the past year having been $300,000 in excess of what was necessary, and this simply to enrich favorites and friends; that with careful man agement two dividends of at least twenty per cent, each could have been paid; that defend ants, to keep their wasteful and fraudulent acta secret from the policy holders, have by purchase concentrated the capital stock of the company in their own hands and that of their friends, and that they retain their posi tions by a small minority vote; that the Directors have FAILED AND REFUSED during the past two years to make full ex planatory reports of tho condition and trans actions of the company, and refuse to per mit the policy-holders to inspect aud ex amine the books and papers of tho company. That the directors, to deceive policy-holders, have issued and published false and fraudulent statements of the affairs and condition of the company. Still other charges of irregularities and wrongful acts are made against the de fendants. The plaintiff asks that A RECEIVER BE APPOINTED Decatur streets. street, Atlanta, Ga. APOTHECARIES. T EWIS H.

Several weeks ago, a healthy looking col ored man, who resides with his family in the northern section of the city, was seized with illness and took his bed. A physician (a regular practitioner) was called in, and he found that the case was an obstinate one and tbe patient gradually became worse under his hands. Some of tbe sick man’s friends insisted that it was the duty of the wife, inasmuch as the husband was growing worse, to secure the services of a “trick doctor” or conjurer, who could ascertain just what was the matter with him and remove the “spell” if any had been put on him. The wife, however, had no faith in trick doctors and conjurers, and refused to send for any such person; but the aged mother of the patient was a believer iu the efficacy of conjuration, and by her consent a “trick doctor* was brought to the house. On his arrival he made inquiries about tbe fam ily, and ascertaining that the wife of the sick man had had another beau before she was married, he immediately gave his opinion that THE DISAPPOINTED BEAU HAD “ TRICKED ” THE HUSBAND lor cutting him ont. He farther said that thsre were two ground puppies, (whatever they are,) is the patient’s stomach. To de termine to a certainty whether there was no puppy, one puppy, or two puppies, in bis stomach, the conjarer procured two small china dolls, and turning down the bed-clothes he set them on the sick man’s stomach, with their faces toward his, and oidered quiet in the room, saying that if they both fell off there were no puppies in the suffer and he would have to make another ’aperi- ment; that if one fell off and the other re mained on him, there was one ground puppy in him, and if in falling they bumped their china heads together, then there were two ground puppies in him, sure. The friends around the bedside kept very quiet, aud watched the motions of the china dolls with great interest as they rose and fell with the movements of the sick man’s chest, and when in a few moments tbe dolls made a pitch forward, bumping their china beads to gether, tnere was a heavy sigh from the by standers, with exclamations of “Look dar, now r A ’SPERMENT WHICH FAILED. The trick doctor having by this “speri- menl” satisfied nearly all present that there were puppies in the man. then tried tbe fur ther “speriment” of making a bargain with the wife for pay; but in this be was un successful, she declining to pawn her hus band’s watch for this purpose, or sell the fur niture, and the “doctor*' retired without a fee. During the following night tbe patient died, and the believers in the trick doctor having set afloat some reports calculated to injure the reputation of tne wife, she deter mined to prove that there were neither pup pies nor poison about Accordingly she re quested a regular physician who had attended her husband to make a post mortem examina tion, and accordingly one was made. Tbe cause of death was found to be a tumor on the liver.— Washington Star. the way.

We arrived sufe, and aie— Yours, “Jellaby.” I |To the Editors op the Herald: Allow ua to make a few remarks on the following editorial found in the Sun Saturday, May 3d: Can’t Come It.—We have received a paper printed in German, with an article marked and a note written on the margin ‘please notice.’ Well, if the man who wrote that had gone on a little further and wrote out what he wanted noticed, it would be a source of con solation. We noticed tbe cross marks on the paragraph referred to, and could read his pen cilling, but we know no more of what is contained in the printed matter than Nicode- mus did of the new birth. We can't tell, even, which way to begin. Can't tell the first letter, nor where the paper is printed at. It ^]ght be something important for all we know, but that editor is barking np the wrong tree if he suspects any one around this office can unravel his Dutch hyeroglyphics, such as es ist begannt datz der Stadtrath durch (that’s Dutch) ein staatsgefets gezwungen.’ We could fill a column of this sort of reading, but how do we know but what we are giving ourselves the mischief in Dutch? Nix cum arous ?* We are surprised to find that the “Sun" is nnable, and has no one about tbe office to unravel the “Dutch hieroglyphics” entrusted to his care. Since he seems to consider the lack of knowledge, flattering to his vernacu lar, and patriotic besides, as far as it is gen eral, we say that this pater patriit* deserves a free and lull absolution for all the errors and offences, expressed and implicated, that may be found in bis criticism for which he claims the protection of his Patron-Saint, St. Kicodexnns, who while professing to be in search of truth, preferred night to daylight. Had our friend ever been taught the differ ence between Dutch and German, he might long ago have comprehended that the Ger man language is preeminently and emphati cally the language of science, as it is the lan guage of poetry, the only language among the living that might be used as a substitute for tbe Latin and Greek to develop the pow ers of tbe human intellect; and that no man of science and education, no editor or states man can well do without it We are truly sorry to hear that the ‘'Sun" is unable to unravel “Dutch Hieroglyphics,” for hieroglyphics were not invented by fools. Were editors able to read tbe German periodi cals of this country, ond especially of Europe, did they, like German editors, fully under stand two or three, or more, of the modern languages, they would truly be “Suns” to enlighten the people, prejudices would van ish, and they would furnish to tbe public mind better food than the crumbs, (kecrambe recocta, from tbe poorly furnished tables of English journalists, and escape the daoger of mistaking the devil of their own office for a ‘Dutch Editor*’ barking up the wrong tree. Such mistakes are likely to be made, until the German citizens in the Southern States shall have established a journal in the English language, doing justice to their fatherland, their language, character, views, aims, etc. Can it be done? Our German musicians have at last succeeded to teach editors “that have no music in their souls,” the difference between an oratorio and aii opera, why should intelligent Germans despair to teach editors that though they may have no sym pathy with German worth and excellence, prudence and self-respect should exclude from their journals language like that which the “Sun” has seen proper to use.

S 1 Kim ball House Cigar stand. could sec the fighters on the hill, and could hear the loud conveisation as they were pre- paiing for the coolest. Col. Boteler loaded his gua with heavy squirrel shot, having de termined not to kill hiH opponent, but to orip- pls him by shooting him iu the legs. Mr. McClelland, however, was not so considerate, as he rammed down sixteen buckshot in each barrel. It was agreed that McCK llaud should pace off twenty steps from where Boteler stood, then McClelland was to wheel, and both par ties were to fire. McClelland matched off, never looking back, but called out the paces as he went. When be called twenty, he shouted, “Boteler, are you ready?" “Ready,” answered the Colonel; then McClelland wheeled, and a simultaneous discharge of the guns took place, Boteler firing both barreds at once and McClelland bnt one. The Colonel was unhurt, but McClelland fell shot through the left leg. He got up, however, aud as he staggered he turned loose the other load. Boteler approached him and extended his band, saying: “McClelland, take my hand and n,., r the Nation.l. let ns be friends.” “I'll be d—d if I do,” was^H the answer. Borne partying took place, Mc Clelland insisting that he would load his guu again. Colonel Boteler took the precaution to place some buckshot in his pocket, and an swered: “ McClelland, you are not much hurt. I shot you with squirrel shot, as I did not desire to kill you, but if yon load again, next time I will kill you, certain.” By this time a number of citizens seeing the puffs of smoke and hearing the report of the guns, ran np and stopped all further proceedings. Dr. Baskerville attended the wounded man, and extracted fifteen or twenty shot from his left leg. Several of tho leaded missiles entered the knee and ar.kla joints, and these could not be extracted. Yesterday Mr. McClel land was suffering intensely, but was iu no danger either to die or to lose his leg, and no doubt in a month he will be up and well, but iu all probability will have a stiff leg daring life. Both parties were arrested aud were brought bofore a magistrate ou Saturday after noon, and both had to be discharged, as rif witnesses were present at the impromptu duel the firing being only heard and the wounded man being discovered soon afterward. The graDd jury of DeSoto county may make a more serious affair out of it at the next term of court, but by that time tho fight will at most be forgotten, and the circumstantial evi dence in tbe case may become so weak ns to be of little force toward sustaining an indict ment for dueling on the sacred soil of Missis- *rr>- General Notes.
