The Wager Of Rattle.

Mr.. Ira Brown, Capt. James Ewart,
Mr.. 8. G. Loring, and s. s. Brown re-
turned last Wednesday morning from
Stewartsville, where they had been tax
ing dispositions to be used in the case OF
James Ewart against the Bank of st. Jo-
seph ct AL, in the De Kalb Circuit
Court. We understand that Mr.. Loring
is preparing motion to be fled in this
cause at the next term for trial OF
the issues by wager of battle. Although
this mode Of trial has long been in dis
use, it is said that Mr.. Loring contends
that it is still the right of the defendant
to tender it
If this view of the law is sustained by
the court, Capt. Ewart, on his own be-
half, and Col. James N. Burnes for the
bank, will champion the respective sides:
A piece of ground sixty feet square will
be set out in front of the Court House
door, where the parties will meet at sun
rise on the morning of the day set apart
for the conflict, and, after taking an oath
that they have about their persons no
enchantment. sorcery nor wltchcraft,
whereby the law of God may be abased
or the law of the devil exalted, the fight
will begin and be conducted according
to the rules Of the London prize ring
until the stars appear, if both parties
should SO long hold out.
The trial will unquestionably excite q
great deal of interest, and be largely at.

had been in progress in the church fol
two weeks. Elias Bidinger, a married
man, about % years of age, and Robert
King, had been disturbing the meetings
by making sport of those who led the
services. On the night in question
about seventy-five persons were present
During the exercises Bidinger and King
began to create disturbance. Mr.
Jones, the minister, went to expostulatt
with them, laid his hand upon Bidinger'i
shoulder, and urged him to change hi
way of life. Bidinger replied with al
oath that he would never change hi
ways. A few moments afterward, while
Michael Shade, a member of the con
gregation, was leading in prayer, light

ball had a peculiar interest, for the
young lady who had been saved from the

her riches and beauty had been rife for
several days. It was said the little
steamer was her fathers private yacht,
and that he was o man of rank and in

Jones said he should not go to the
dinner, as either he or Saville must re-
main for evening drill, and that Saville
loved good dinner, while he cared very
little about it. Saville could return in
time to let him ride over about 10 O'Clock
and see the dancing. Saville rather
wondered why Jones did not take his
place all the evening, and felt half in

curiosity about the girl he had saved.
To tell the truth, he was nearer in leve
with her than he had ever been with a

see if she was as beautiful as his fancy
had painted her, during those few awful
minutes that he had held her high above

THE ELEVENTH WARD MEETING.

There will be a mass meeting of the citizens OF

ing contend that the practice has been hereto.
fore for the people and for the party to organ
ze under their own officers, and not those OF
any holding over committee. The Parish
Committee under the direction of the State
Committee, calls on the wards to organize for
the next campaign. The Parish Committee,
when it does this, Is f,tnctts oficio. The presi-
dents of the ward clubs of the past campaign
call meetings OF the mother clubs In their re-
spective wards, call the meeting to order,
and give way to temporary chairman under
whom the members of the clubs organize by
the election of presidents for the coming
campaign, and of members to the new parish
committee. Under this plan the people act
directly In their sovereign capacity and give
the impulse to the political battle Under the
rules devised by the old Parish Committee,
the views and personal bias of that committee
and their friends will, it is claimed, be sub
stituted for the views and wishes of the peo-
pie of each ward. This seems to be the issue
presented by the Eleventh Ward.

The Revival of Advertising,
ATLANTA Constitution.

The great panic cut down the volume of
advertising fully one-third at one fell blow
and as the times became harder advertise
ments in tirst-class papers were correspond
ingly decreased. At the beginning of this
year the aggregate amount did not exceed
thirty per cent of that of the prosperous
days before the panic. But the tide has
turned-not in Atlanta alone. but In every
other city of the country. The Mem
phs and Nashville papers are, for an
example. crowded to excess. So are
many others. The Constitution feels the
change, although not to the extent of some of
its contemporaries. 1t is change for the
better. We believe 1t indicates the coming of
prosperity. 1t certainly shows that business
men have substituted hope for despair-that
instead of shortening sail for a financial
storm they are spreading sail for favoring
breezes- that they see in the immediate future
magnificent crops and through them health
full return to commercial ease and material
plenty. Hence they advertise. What is more
natural They do not seek in this turning
time cheap and ridiculous methods, but they
hopefully employ the best means of reaching
the public

that the young lady was left alone

was awakened from her sleep by the grasp of

free herself from his grasp, and at the same
