General Maxey is a native of south.
ern Kent ucky. He is descended from
q family that have long been distin-
guished in politics, as we'll as the MIL,
itary annals Of this country. CIAfter
receiving good common school edu.
cation, he was entered as a. eadatr at
West Point, where he graduated with
honors, in the year ls4e.r He was in
the same graduating class with the
immortal Stonewall" Jackson, and
was warm personal friend VI the
great Christian soldier.
The Mexican y ar afforded young
Maxey the opportunity Iof- f-winning
his spurs, which the enthusiastic
young soldier did, serving with great
distinction through the entire strug.
gle. Upon the close Of the Mexican
War, young Maxey resigned his COM
mission and emigrated to Paris, where
he commenced the practice Of law, in
which he has won even greater sue
cess than in the profession of arms
He served as District Attorney
with great distinction meeting, with
success, some 3oi the ablesu legal
minds of the State. Thus engaged

proud Young soldier.advocate, who,
true to his section, and the instincts
pf'a gallant heart, Immediately offered
his services to the struggling young
Confederacy. He was Immediately
elected Colonel of an infantry regi-
ment, and ordered to Tennessee.
After winning distinction In this new
field, he was promotedto to Brigadier-
ship, and was placed in command OF the
district of the Indian Territory.
When Gen. Steel moved In the direcs

staff. For his gaIlantry IN this cam
paign he was advanced to the rank of
Major General. He was in command
at Galveston at the time OF the sur
render. After the death of Confed-
| crate hopes, Gen. Maxey returned to
his home in Paris, where he has since
resided, pursuing, with all the en-
ergy OF his character, the profession
OF the law; and eyincing much inter-
est in politics. The record he made
as straight out" Democrat is too
fresh in the minds Of the people to
need reoapitulation here. i We have
faith that the new Senator will win
fresh laurels in the Senate Chamber

A New Way to Pay Old

In the tax suittagainst J. O. A. Fellows, Esq,
Judge Hawkins has decided to offset the
judgments Of the State by the claim Mr.. Eel
lows holds for services rendered it, We know
Of no law allowing such proceeding, and ii
appears strange that the Acting Attorney Gen
eral should claim for himself privilege not
accorded others. The law provides the
manner in which taxes shall be collected, and
in what kind of warrants. We give the mo-
ton made to the court
On motion of J. Q. A. Fellows, it is ordered
that said rule be made absolute, and accord
ingly that the penalties on the taxes upon the
property hereinafter described are hereby re-
mitted, and that movers be allowed, in vertue
of professional services rendered the State in
the years 1872 49, and to March, 1874, to the
extent necessary without the same being con-
sidered as payment in full to movers, to use
the same, and the same are allowed in COM
pensation and in full discharge of all the taxes
due the State, with all the penalties legally
attaching thereto, and all the damages and
costs, and charges on the same for taxes for
the years 1870, 1871, 1872 and 1873.

DESPERATE ARRAY.
General Fight in a Barrel
House.
A Raid on a Dryades Street
Den.

The coffee and negro dance house, on Dry
AIDES street, opposite Union street. has, for a
heightened period been the rendezvous of
thieves, backlegs and the lowest order Of
negro frailty, and passers-by have more than
once shuddered and laid their hands with a
firm grasp upon their revolvers, as some
stalwart negro, reeking with the fumes of
five cent whisky, with blasphemous tongue
made night hideous outside the door, while
the cries from within indicated only too
blush of shame to the checks of some of their
own race.
This place is kept by man named Joe Ma
rell, and behind the bar, over which he
peddles his poisonous concoctions, he en-
deavors, with the aid of the few metropoli-
tans, who are detailed for this special duty,
to keep some order within this hell of hells.
YESTERDAY MORNING,
about l o'clock, this place was entered by
negro named Joe Saraticed alias Joe Kelly,
alias Cock-eyed Joe, accompanied by some
friends, who, advancing towards the bar of
the establishment, demanded drinks. The
barkeeper, Frank Merero, after furnishing the
same, demanded payment, which was not only
refused, but coupled with demand for more
drinks. Words followed words and then
came blows
SEEING HIS REVOLVER
Merero dealt cock-eyed Joe a blow over his
head. In return Joe seized the tumblers ON
the counter and his friends following his exam
pie general assault upon the barkeeper was
made. Finding that the odds were too great
it then became a matter of necessity, on the
part of Merero, to
This he did, and the crowd scattered in all
directions, not, however, before one Manuel
Parada by name, had received ball through
his check, which after having damaged several
teeth, lodged in his tongue. Parada, however,
continued his flight and wendell his way to
the hospital, where his wounds were dressed.
He then returned to his home No. III Clara
street.
THE POLICE
now put in ali appearance and, after arresting
eighteen parties, marched them to the First
Precinct Station on a charge of fighting, riot
ing and disturbing the peace.
Frank Merero, the bar-keeper, was also ar
rested, charged with shooting and wounding
Manuel Parada.
So ended field night and it is to be hoped
that it will result in completely breaking up
this rendezv u, which, to say the least, is a
disgrace to New Orleans.

The Lemon Trade of the South of France

When you drink cool and sparkling lemon
ade these sultry days, how little you think of
the beautiful, small French town which fur
nishes the American market with the juicy
and odorous lemon You fancy, very likely,
that the delicious fruit has been brought to
your glasses by some West Indian, Italian or
Spanish vessel Nothing of the kind Tor, in
this matter the American palate beats all the
wor d round, and it has almost monopolized
for its enjoyment the lemon crop raised in the
South of France around the towns of Mention,
Villafran a and Nice. There, in fact, are pro-
duced the most exquisite lemons on the earth,
and while the Stars and Stripes beat at the
top OF the masts of our naval squadron in the
Mediterranean Sea, which visits SO often the
roads of Villatranca, the same flag f1utters' also
:nder the gentle breeze off the coast of Prov
ence, above the many American merchant YES
sells waiting near by in the port of Mention for
their cargoes of lemons.
The fruit of that region has been declared,
through experience, not only the best of its
kind, but also the one which bears with the
greatest impunity the inconvenience Of q
long sea voyage. This superiority is due
especially to the care with which the French
peasants handle their lemons, fruit which is
dam iged by the slightest shock in its carting
to the sea-shore, and by too close packing
up in the boxes.
The American steamers and sailing vessels
lay at anchor, at few meters from the pier
now in construction at Mention. Around
those crafts you see continually real shoals Of
canoes, boats and small "balancelles," with
their loads of lemon boxes, which are hau ed
on board the American vessels Usually each
steamer takes in 5000 cases, which, containing
an average OF 500 lemons, make total for
each ship of 800, 900 fruit, bound generally
for New York. Mention is the principal port
patronized by our vessels for that kind Of
trade; but the lemons are also produced at
Villafranca, Beauieu, Monaco, Roquebrune
and two or three small Italian ports of the
Ligurian coast

SUICIDE AND LIFE INsuEANcE.-An import
ant life insurance case, in which suicide was
pleaded in bar of payment, was decided last
week in the United States Circuit Court at
Canandaigua New York. The life policy
provided that, if the person insured should
die by his own hand the company should not
be held responsible. The insured committed
suicide and the judge, in charging the jury,
instructe them that if the deceased at the
time of killing himself was so far mentally
unsound that he could not appreciate the
moral character of the act of selt-destruction i;
or, if not so far mentally unsound as this-if
at the time of taking his life, she was acting
under an insane impulse, which urged him
to self-destruction and coerced his judgment
to such an extent that he could not resist, al
though he realized both the moral and physi-
cal character of the act if either Of these
conditions were found to exist, then it was not
in law a death by his own hand within the
policy-and his heirs could recover the in
surance. Under this charge the jury found q
verdict against the company for the full
amount of the policy.

THE BLISS OF MARRIAGE
New York Hebrew Leader. I

New YORK Hebrew Leader.
Time whirls us along the downhill path Of
have one comfort can make love on the
road. What the negro preacher said Of Satan
may be said of love: Where he finds a
weaker place, dere he creeps in" There is a
warm corner even in the coolest heart; and
somebody, if that somebody can only be
found, was made expressly to fill it. Thous-
ands of both sexes live and die unmarried
imply for want OF proper introduction to
one another What an absurdity! There
is not a woman ror man of any age who
might not find a suitable partner by using
the proper means. The fact is, that
affection is smothered, choked down, SUD-
dued and paralyzed by the forms and
conventionalities OF this etiquettish world.
"Society" attaches a ball and chain to
the natural feelings of the heart The fair
girl with her bosom running over with the
purest love for worthy object must take as
much pains to conceal the fact as if it were
deadly sin, and Heaven had not implanted
within our bosoms the tender spark and babe
us "to love and be loved" Is this natural
No, it is artificial. Why should innumerable
marriages be prevented by chilling rules and
penalties Nature is modest, but she is not
starched up prude Look at the birds.
There are no old bachelors and old maids
among them. The hearts that flutter under
their feather jackets follow the instinct of
love- and they take to billing and cooling
without the slightest idea that courtship
should be a formal affair. Why should there
be forlorn bachelors and disappointed old
maids and lonely widows and widowers
among the unfeathered any more than the
feathered bipeds Oceans Of happiness are
lost to both sexes every year, simply because
parties who wish to be married and are not
permitted by etiquette to make the fact known
These unfortunates might very properly say
to the happy married folks, as the frogs said
to the boys who were pelhng them with stones

most singular and unaccountable disease,
commonly known as the bursting Sickness :"
has broken out in this vicinity, and already
has spread to many Of the neighboring villa
ges and cities The people are in consterna-
tion by reason of the many deaths which have
occurred. The doctors wretched medical
men at the best-are at a loss to know how to
deal with the trouble, and the priests have
their hands full. Tlalenango, Bolanos, Carta-

when the disease is to stop. l am not an ex-

seems to me to be an unusual discharge Of
nerve force into the brain. The symptoms
IRE sudden nausea, followed almost immedi
htely by severe and sharp pain along
the spine, proceeding from 2 its lower
extremity to the head, and described as
feeling as though a blunt knife were
Bcraping upward. There is then-when
sthe pain reaches the back Of the head
sharp and poignant distress there which
makes the patient delirious, although it never

hse of the senses. The eyes are bloodshot
hnd wild, with pupils greatly contracted. The
bensitiveness to light is intense, SO that even
n paroxysms of excruciating agony the pa
lent will rise and seek dark place. This
tate lasts commonly not more than from
thirty to forty minutes, during which the pa
lent feels as though his head was splitting;

half an hour, the Uranium actually bursts open

erer is in full consciousness, and it is most
