Home Again.

DR.. Lucky, who has been attending
the Teachers Institute at San Diego
returned to the city yesterday. The
Union of the Goth inst, has the fol-
lowing concerning the Doctors lecture
before the Institute and citizens
Thursday evening:
The lecture last evening by the Rev.
DR.. Lucky, before the Teachers Insti-
tute, was of high order, and we re-
GREETED that the Methodist Church was
not crowded with hearers. 1t was un-
fortunate that the time for this lecture
was during the holding of a meeting at
Horizons Hall in regard to the exciting
question Of an election under the Lo-
cal Option law. But for this, DR..
Lucky would have had q very large au-
dience. His subject was 1.-The Teacher
and His Auxiliaries,o and he handled
it with decided ability. He showed
the wonderful influence which the
teacher eXerts upon society through
the young minds and hearts which he
impresses and educates. His position
is one of the greatest dignity and re-
sponsibility. And he needs the best
auxiliaries. 1t is .lamentable that he
receives so little help from others who
should cheer and assist him. The
principal auxiliaries which the teacher
should have, DR.. Lucky enumerated
as follows: 1st. AnNanlightened public
opinion, which would furnish hand
some and comfortable school houses,
and supply them with everything that
can facilitate teaching and make them
attractive. I'd. A good board of trus-
tees. Sd. The parents Of the scholars.
4th. Physicians, who should OCCASION
ally visit the schoolroom and deliver
short lecture upon physiology, or
give experiments in chemistry, or eX
hibit a microscope or some other in
strument that would interest the
scholars. 5th. The clergy. 9Th. Law
yers and editors, and all other literary
persons. DR.. Lucky showed how per-
sons of each of these classes could be-
come important auXiliaries of the
teacher; and he urged upon all present
to do their part in advancing the cause
of education.

The 90 Thirty.E Fights.

The Fire Company made fine dis
play in their torch-light procession
last night. The members turned out
to the number of about fifty, accompa-
nying the engine, hose-cart and hook
and ladder truck. The men were
dressed in their new uniforms with
red blouse, black pants, and fireman's
cap and belt. Each bore a torch, and
was provided with n stock of fire.
works sufficient to constitute small
Fourth of July celebration alone. The
procession was headed by Isart's
Band, escorted by the Chief of the
company and Councilman Huber and
Gerkens. Next came the hose-cart,
decorated with flags and green boughs;
then the engine, drawn by fine span
of bay horses, and lastly the hook and
ladder truck, covered with festOons of
foliage and flowers and a large piece
of Uncle Sans bunting. The truck
was surmounted by the figures "3S, y
set out in prominent character. The
parade was announced by the firing of
anvils placed near the HERALD office,
and during the evening with slight
intermissions the booming was kept
up. AS the procession passed along
the streets the members let Off their
numerous Roman candles and other
re-works, which materially aided in
the display. Steadman and Joe Bre-
son gave the boys salutes of Chinese
crackers and rockets as they passed in
front of their respective saloons. Be-
sides, several bonfires were burning,
and the streets altogether presented
quite Il Fourth of July appearance.
The "Thirty- Fights certainly did
much credit to themselves in this, their
first display.

The Los Nietos College.

EDITOR HERALD: Now that the
subject is on the tapis, it may not be
out of place to give little data as to
what has been done toward advancing
the work of founding Collegiate In
stitute here, and what are the proba-
bilites of success. To fill such an in
stitution as our plans contemplate and
keep it full of paying pupils or guests,
large amount of preliminary work
has been necessary. We are, ourselves,
personally and pecuniarily unable to
meet the money expenses of the es-
Enlistment that has been planned;
but our faith and knowledge of its
soundness are so we'll established that
every dollar of our own and of the
near and dear friends has been paid
out in this preliminary work. This
work has taken nearly two years of
time and over $4,000 in money and
comprises: first, the instrumental OBJ
servations, thermometrial, hygromet-
rical and barometrical; second, care
full analysis of water, soils, and their
products; third, publication in such
attractive forms as to be read and
needed by all to whom the little books
are presented. These books, five in
humber, were first published in En-
gland in book form, although some of
the matter they contained had already
appeared in America in leading jour-
nails and published lectures. Our
mode of drawing public attention to
this section and its resources was the
most effective it was possible to adopt.
When we started for our Eastern and
European tour our personal baggage
did not weigh % pounds, but we paid
at the rate of ten cents per pound at
the Isthmus for $50 pounds of samples
of wheat in the head, barley ditto,
walnuts, raisins, grapes, lemons, lines,
oranges, figs, and the best photographs
obtainaDle. These were used care
fully and judiciously in such places
and times as gave opportunity to be
lasted and examined by connoissuers,
and the result of their judgment gives
the largest and most effective public
ity. Instances: small box containing
oranges, lemons, raisins, etc., was laid
on the desk of the editor of the New
York Tribune, the result of which was
fourth of column editorial on Los
Angeles, its climate, productions, and
our association. This handsome no.
tice was read by hundreds of thous-
ands, and was a thousand-fold the
most effective mode of advertising;
for although 1 paid $40 for each inser-
ton for half-inch space, those or like
advertisements are not read by one in
a thousand that will and do read the
editorials.
Thus we passed through the Eastern
States and Europe, always, by our
samples and the manner of presenta-
ton, drawing editorial notice and ia.
vorabe comment. This tour cost
little less than $1,000, all but $3.50 of
which was paid out of our own private
funds. The immediate results are
seen in renewed activity in real es-
tate and general business prosperity,
and the prospective results will be
of much greater Importance than our
modesty allows us to foretell.

capacity to meet all demands, and the
proceeds of stock sold will be invested
in suitable buildings for that purpose.

Fatal Duel at Grand Bay, Mississippi

Fatal Duel at Grand Bay. Mississippi
-ANewsPaPer Article the Csuse.
Mobile Special dec. 24) TO the Atlanta Herald
There was a hostile meeting between two
well known gentlemen Of this city yester-
day noon, a little way from Grand Bay, but
in the State Of Mississippi. The gentle
men were Mr.. A. ii. Tardy, the insurance
agent, and DR.. Benjamin d. Lay, the actU-
ary Of the Granger Life and Health Insu-
rance Company. The origin, as we I'M
deTstand, arose from a letter from this
city to a prominent Northern insurance
journal, over the signature Of "X.
Y. L." making some comments upon
the new company with which DR..
Lay is connected. On Monday DIR.
Lay met Mr.. Tardy, and asked him if he
was the author of a communication signed
eX. Y. L." in the Spectator. Mr.. Tardy
said he was, whereupOn DR.. Lay slapped
his face. A few words passed between
them, and tCen Mr.. Tardy sent to DR.. Lay
a written message, demanding satisfaction
for the insult, and referring TO Col. James
Williams as authorized to make any necas-
Sary arrangements. The message was an
swered, granting any satisfaction demanded,
and referring to Capt Z. NJ. Murphy as au-
thorized, on the part of DR.. Lay, to arrange
matters. The result was the choice Of
dueliEg pistols, the meeting to be out Of
the State, the distance ten PAGES, and the
time Wednesday nOOa. Mr.. Tardy and
his friends left on Tuesday night, and re-
paired 10 Grand Bay, and DIR. Lay and his
friends left on "Wednesday morning for the
same place.
The parties met, as by agreement, and
took carriages and drove until they were
over the line and in Mississippi. As it was
agreed upon for noon as the time, there
was no choice as to position. The distaI ce
was measured of, the antagonists placed,
and the dread question asked, "Gentlemen,
are YOU ready? fire, one, two, three" At
the word one, sharp report was heard
Tardy'S pistol fell from his hand, he clasped
his breast convulsIvely, and fell-a corpse.
DIR. Lay returned to the city Immediately,
and was met on Government street by a
gentleman who, not knowing the duel had
taken place, jokiEgly asked the Doctor
whom he was going 10 shoot? Bursting
into tears, he exclaimed, My God. don't
ask me anyt1ing about it,
The street was Immediately alive with
rumOrs-some of them eXrravagant. As
the meeting was anticipated, DR.. Lay,
about half past seven, gave himself up to
the sheriff, and was placed in Jail. The
body of Col. Tardy came in on the
New Orleans train that arrived at 1850

The Fire Cracker Nuisance.

With the exception of Christmas and
Fourth Of July, the quiet citizens Of Nash
vile are rarely disturbed by the explosion
of fire crackers and tOrpedOes about the
streets and alleys of the city. AT all other
times, the men and boys who like such fun
seem disposed to obey the law prohibiting
the use of these dangerous and annoying
sources Of anus sment. Why they cannot
be alike considerate at all times, cannot be
readily or reasonably explained. The Oc-
cnrrences of Thursday and Friday last
strongly attest the fact that the law ON the
sabiect is either defective Oh not properly
enforced. If the ordinance is not sufficient
to entirely suppress or greatly abate the nui-
sanee, it Ought 70 be so amended as TO
serve the purpose intended. To arrest and
fine persons caught in the act Of exploding
