A Child's Life Saved.
In a few days after the publication of Dr. Wilson's
Herald of Health, a gentleman stopped in at a house
In this city where he found a child in imminent dan
ger of death by suffocation, the difficulty being the
lodgement of a piece of meat in the throat. Having
jast been reading the chapter on Accidents and Emer
gencies in the above work, the gentleman immediate
ly resorted to the simple directions therein contained,
thus relieving the child instantly, and, as be feels
assured, saving her life.
Oft for Oxford.
The Osceola Bose Ball Club leaves the city thi*
morning for Oxford, where it will contest for the vic
tory in a match game with the Emory nine club of Ox
ford. We suggest to the members of the Osceola to be
of cheer, maintain a vigorous pulse and remember
their former triumphs. The club has been organized
five years, and to far as we are informed, baa never yet
been beaten. Stand by your record.
The Jewish Rabbi and the Baptist*
It was announced loot Sunday by Mr. Spalding, the
pastor of the Second Baptist Church, that the Jewish

gregation la anticipating a great deal of pleasure from

St. Lake's Festival.
The festival given by the ladies of Si. Luke’s Episco
pal Church, and which came off last evening, was a
very pleasant and agreeable affair, though the attend
ance was not so large aa on former occasions. Those
present seemed to indulge liberally in the use of
strawberries, large and delicious and ice cream and
cake. Beautiful and lovely young ladies graced the
occasion with their presence, and added greatly to the
attractions of the evening. For the zeal and untirring
energy manifested by those in charge of the festival
they deserve the commendation of the people. We
wish them success in the noble work in which they
are engaged.
Grand Literary Entertainment.
The member* of the I. O. O. F., and the people of
Atlanta generally, will doubtless be gratified to learn
that Fast Grand Master, W. H. Barnet, of New York,
but formerly of Atlanta, Georgia, will, on Thursday
evening next, the 29th instant, at Concordia Hall, in
this city, deliver his world renowned Medley Melange
for the three hundred and fortieth time, entitled,
“Entertaining an Audience."
By request of his brethren of the I. O. O. F., Mr.
Barnet has consented to precede bis literary pro
gramme with fifteen minutes on American Odd Fel
lowship. He is one of the most entertaining speakers
in America, and the preit and people of the entire
country has long since conceded him to be their
beau ideal of a lecturer. The Utica, New York Herald,
speaking of him says, "We recommend Barnes as an
antidote against the wrinkles consequent on bine
Monday* and protested notes." He will be greeted
here with a large audience.
The excursions To-Day.
The members of the First Baptist Church Sunday
School, and their friends, go on a picnic excursion to
Newnsn to-day. leaving the car-ahed at half-past seven
o’clock thia morning. Arrargementa have been ef
fected to make it one of the most successful of the oc
casion. There will be s large crowd, and News on has
made ample preparations to receive them all with out
stretched arms. We learn that several abort addresses
will be made.
The disciples of Blsckatone, Coke, Little, etc., have
also Abakan off ths dignity and gravity of their position
as ppof rational man and dateraained to see if they can
eftjoy the works of nature, by contemplating them, aa
other people. Their conduct on many former occa
sions has demonstrated their capacity to enjoy festive
occasions, and ws apprehend this will be no exception.
They go to Stone Mountain, leaving on the Georgia

Judge Uepkisi’ Opinion.
We are pleased to be able this morning to lay before
oar readers a verbatim report of Judge Hopkins’ re
marks in ths Abroms-Stylea difficulty. They are ad
mirable in tone and sentiment:
It is certainly true from the testimony before me.
tint it was the purpose of the defendant to take the
life of Mr. Styles. If it had not beau for (he energsk
to interference of the Mayor sad bis officer*, by which
the assault was prevented, it is probable that, instead
of this investigation, there would have bean a trial for
homicide. It was tha duty of Captain Johnson, os n
police officer, to take oat this warrant. The peace
must be preserved at all hazards, and it is far better
qp defendant that he should be deprived of
his liberty, than that life should be taken by him and
the remainder of his days embittered with regret.
I fafiy appreciate ths ehsiester of this provocation.
It does not appear from the testimony that Mr. Styles
made the charge; but it does appear that defendant
believed from what be deemed good authority, that he
had done so. Defendant acted on the assumption that
Stylsa had colled his mother a “mulatto strumpet."

Justices' Courts-
Justice Bott ou yesterday committed Harriet Hopy,
colored, to jail on a charge of vagrancy. The warrant
was issued at the instance of Lieut Bomar, of the po

RECO&DEE D. r. HAMMOND.
Well, the convention, which waa after all a short
lived affair, has been so far forgotten by his Honor as
to enable him to go up to hia usual scale of charges.
His first victim yesterday morning waa George Do
zier, colored, an account of wnose jumping exploit
will be found elsewhere. George hod been quarreling
with a woman because she would not just naturally
take up with him, and he not very good looking at that;
and when words failed to carry the works he resorted
to s regular bombardment of her person with fists,
brickbats, etc. These facts come out on the trial of
the woman, Martha Warlick, who was of coarse dis
charged. George had coolly slipped in a plea of guilty.
He was fined $10 and costs, but left the bill unset
tled.
Nos. 738 and 739 each plead guilty to drunkeni
disorderly conduct, etc., and sent is $27 between
them. Accepted.
John Dobbs, colored, thinks it is no sin for his boy
Bill to go to a strawberry festival, and Bill tries to
economize by elimbing in at a window; is caught at
it, bustied out in a hurry; throws
a parting rock into the door-keepers ribs; tells John
he ha* been wonderfully maltreated; John gets the
broomstick; goes for the offender; latter goes for the
police, who go for John and Bill. It takes $22 60 to
repair this breach of the peace. Whether the bill will
be cashed or pecked out is as yet unknown.
Charles Hntchins, colored, insisted that there
no use to prove it on him; it was every word so. He
had $13 50 about his old clothes and they were wel
come to it. This settled it.
Lewis Miller, colored, was up for a few words with
his step-daughter, and as step-daughters are always
provoking he slid for $1 and coats.
Ransom Dobbins, colored, hod been drunk and .dis
orderly, and di 1 some pretty tall curling—$10 and
costs.
No. 46, drunk on the street*—$10 and costa.
A young gentleman from Augnsta admitted that he
had violated every provision of the city code, and
didn’t care a continental. His independence costs
him $50 expeni
J. Brooks had been drunk on the streets—$10 and

George went to the Campbell House, in the second
story of which jolly Dan Pitchford attempted to over
haul him. A window waa open, and out of that went
the beauteous George like a rocket, a distance of twen'
ty feet, to Wood k Ashford’s wood shed, whence he
made another leap to the ground, about the same dis
tance, and was at liberty. His pleasant reveries over
thia dcuble leap were disturbed later in the day by tha
aide of the shooting end of a big pistol right slap be
tween Dan's eyes and his noddla. Hs concluded to
accempany Dan to the 'boots, and did so with martial
tread. Here he was kept in durance vile till yesterday
morning, and when put on trial promptly plead guilty
waa assessed ten and costs, and everybody thought the
laugh was turned. Before the deliberations of the
hour were over, however, George showed that his old
tricks waie not forgotten by leaping for life out of a
window at least eighteen feet from the ground, and
rapidly making hia disappearance. This font caused
great commotion in the court room, but quiet waa
finally restored and George woodblned, and thus the

to one's mother, mem, who are worthy to live, will re
sort to some means of repairing it. Many Uke this
defendant, resort to the shot gun, for they believe
that nothing but blood is a sufficient roperation. There
are those who believe that the death of the offender
must follow a ate against the name of mother, rimer, or
wife, or daughter. But the law provides the proper
redress; it takes e different view of it, and that law
should be observed. I sit here as a magistrate to en

this line" the difficulty is probsblv at eft end, T

heal. The defendant will remain in custody until he
enters into bond in the sum of $1<MMK for his good
behavior until the noxt term of this Court.

on thia sixteenth.
From the account of the Press we take the
following resolution^ which were unanimous
ly passed:
Resolved. That we recognize the daty of
every Christian to aid in sending out God’s
light snd truth; and that in spreading abroad
the Bible we are effectually accomplishing
this end, and thns becoming co-workers with
God.
Resolved, That the adaptation of the Bible
to the nature and condition of man gives se
curity that it will be the Bible of the future,
as it has been of the post and is oi the pres
ent.
Resolved, That the Word of God, the peo
pie’s Bible, must not be diffused among the
diverse and rapidly increasing population of
the West, as the political and social as well as
the religious safeguard of the nation.
Resolved, That the Bible, without note or
comment, contains in itself the absolute dem
onstration of its divine origin.
Resolved, That tiie operations of this socie
ty, in printing and circulating the Bible in the
English language, give it a place among the
mightiest regenerating agencies in the world.
The Press says of the speech of the Rev.
Dr. W. P. Harrison, of Atlanta; “When he
was introduced the entire audience rose, in
compliment to him. He began by saying
that we are now one in Christian love, and
this is the work of the Bible. Politicians and
statesmen may moke laws and revolutions,
but these will pass away and leave the living
Word of the Lord to the end. He observed
that there were many now in the world who
knew that there is snch a thing os sin, and
that there must be a Creator, but he wonts
some knowledge of God. Give to such the
Bible and they will find it to be in itseif
the absolute demonstration of Us di
vine origin. Under all ths assaults of
science, the Bible stands unharmed in the
slightest particular. In conclusion, he said
he hoped to see the day when, under tha ban.

REASON WHY
PETERS’
PATENT
TANNINS
PROCESS
IS
SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS'.
ClDST Because it performs the ope-
• • ration of Tanning and Fin-
g Leather in from TWO TO FIFTEEN
DAYS for Kips and lighter Skins; and from
Fifteen to Thirty Days for Bridle and Heavy
Harness, leaving it free from chemicals.
IX Because while it dispenses
^ LCUi' It m with the use ot bark, and
reduces the expenses of TaDning at least fifty
jer cent., it may be used in combination with
mrk, bark extinct, or japonica, and when so
used is nearly as economical and rapid.
Tllimt Because of the superior
X ttlK.lt• beauty, strength and dn
lability of the Leather ; a Sheep SkiD having
body and strength equal to Calf tanned by
the “Old Process."
Fourth.
of the Leather.
Because of the superior
flexibility and softness
FlPTU Because it requires but a few
I * • • dollars capital to start the
business.
^SlYTH Because you can turn your
^ I A. * money twelve or fifteen
times a year, instead of once, the old way.
SrVVVTH Because it is so simple
in* that any person can
make Snperior Leather by giving the process
a few days’ attention.
Because of its cleanline.ss
aud freedom from offen
sive odors, as compared with the old process,
rendering the business admissible in the midst
of mercantile or other departments of the trade.
Because more money can d
made in a shorter time an
on less capital than in any other business.

Dear Sir—In reply to your inquirv. I would
state that my opinion of PETERS' EUREKA
TANNING PROCESS may be inferred from
the fact that I am now wearing a pair of
boots, the leather of which was tanned by
that process before the same was perfected
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for the period of three
yearn—are the moat pliable and easy to the
feet of any boot I ever wore, and are in a
good state of preservation yet.
S. M. Nh hoai.'xs.
Ths undersigned take pleasure in affirming
their knowledge of the facts, and the truth of
the statements set forth, in the foregoing let
ter of their fellow-townsman, S. M. Kichoalds,
and also in attesting the unsurpassed excel
lence and great superiority of the leather
tanned by Ibe Eureka Tanning Process.
