Picked Out Her Wedding Presents.
Not long ago, says the Atlanta
Journal, an Atlanta young lady was
about to be married-she is married
now, may Heaven bless her and keep
active the business tact with which
she is endowed. The following story
has leaked out by the merchants
comparing notes from time 10 time:
A bout two weeks before the time
the wedding was to take place the
young lady visited the various stores
in the city. At each of the jewelry
stores she called the proprietor aside
and told him of her approaching mar
rage, and then said:
Nov it is very probable that some
of my friends may come in here and
select me present. It's horrid to
get something you don't like. so
want you to look out for me, and If
you can satisfy yourself that a pres
enJ is about to be purchased for me,
induce the purchaser to buy some
thing [ will now select"
The proprietor could see nothing
wrong in granting such a request,
and the young lady selected a num-
Der of pieces of iewelry which suited
her taste. They were marked and
the clerks notified.
This was repeated at the crOekery,
music and book stores. From all that
can be learned, the scheme worked
well, and on the wedding night the
happy bride had few presents with
which she was not pleased.

The Slayer OF Ananias Hill Not to be
Tried Until Next Tuesday.
The case Of John Webb, the negro charged
with the murder Of Ananias Hill, another
negro, at Montieth Oct. II, was called for
trial In the superior court yesterday morn
ing, but was continued until next Tuesday
at the solicitation Of the prisoners counsel
George A. Mercer, Jr., Esq, and J. Ferris
Cam, Esq. The ground for continuance
was that more time is needed for the
preparation of defense.
The plea of the defense, it is understood,
will be insanity. on the ground that no
same man would have given himself up as
Webb had done after committing such a
crime.

The cable may give US this morning the
rasnlr of the fight at Kilkenny, though it
| Is ouite nrobable that the count will be de-
Iaved The result will be much less signif-
| cant. whatever it be, than would have been
the case had the appeals of the contending
factions been made to the reason of the
people instead of TO their passions. The real
question at issue is whether there shall be
retained at the head of the Nationalist party
a man whose conduct has been such as to
render 1t impossible fer the leaders of the
English party, without whose support
Homerule is absolutely impossible, to have
any communications with him, or whether
he shall be deposed and men placed at the
head who will command the confidence of
the Liberal leaders in England, and with
whom cooperation will be possible. Or tn
reduce 1t to its lowest terms the question is
simply whether Parnell shall be thrown
overheard or Homerule abandoned: wheth-
er the cause shall be sacrificed to the indi.
Viduai, or the individual to the cause. As
stunning that the wish of the Irish people for
domerule has been as strong as their pro
LESSONS Of 1t, 1t is inconceivable that Parnell
can be sustained in his present attitude ex-
cept upon the assumption that reason has
been put aside. Unfortunately there have
been many indications that this assumption
is In accord with the fact. From the mo-
ment that Parnell announced Ills intention
10 remain at the head of the party there
were abundant signs that passion had
dethroned the reason of the people, ana that
shlllalahs were destined to exert much
greater influence in the contest than argu-
ments. Both sides have been about equally
bereft OF reason, Hoots at Parnell have
been answered by boots at Healey. Honors
in broken heads have been about easy.
Each faction has sought to drown the voices
OF the orators of the other by beating drums
and tin pans. Each has denounced the
other as traitorous, and each has ransacked
the English language for opprobrious cpl
thets to apply to the candidate of the other
Such having been the character of the con-
test the outcome of it can scarcely be very
significant OF the opinion of the Irish people
as to the real issues which are involved.
But whatever the result there can scarcely
bea doubt that the character of the fight has
done great injury to the Irish people in the
eyes of the English electorate. The ability
OF people to govern themselves is one of
the prime essentials of the privilege to do so,
and the character of this contest must have
greatly shaken the faith of the English cleo
tors who have heretofore believed that that
ability existed in the case of the people of
ireland
