TUB “WiTTBlO" COSTUUH.
French moduta use the term tcaOtau to
designate the “Dolly Varden,” the pretty
daughter of the English locksmith, having
no special interest for them, and representing
only the long, peaked waUt, flowered,
hunched up skirt, and straight sleeves with
ruflics, in which Watteau loves to paint his
fiorid beauties.
Tlie common meaning which we attach to
tbc “wattean,” however, is eimply that of a
broad plait laid in the hack of a garment,
and which distinctively characterizes it os a
“watieau” cape, a “watteau” sac, a“watteau”
wrapper, or a “watieau” polonaise. This
plait flowing 1 msely from the shoulders or
the neck, down tbe back, gives a negligt ap
pearance and was at fitst mainly confined to
meaning wrappers bat with the singular
lunacy for adapting a certain style to every
thing, whether appropriate or not, which is
characteristic of wliat we call fashion, the the sale, and one witness testifies that he, one

taken, but the defendant was indicted under
the 4450th section, which creates a iutinet
of out; that section of the Code delates that
“If may person shall buy or receive any
goods, chattels, money, or other effects tha:
shall have been stolen or feloniously taken
from another, knowing tbe same to be stolen
or felonionsiy taken, such person shall be
taken and deemed to be an accessory after
tbe fact, and shall receive and suffer tlie same
punishment ss would be inflicted on the per
son convicted of having stolen or feloniously
taken the said goods, chattels, money, or ef
fects so bought or received.” The term “fe
loniously taken" in this section is used not
to indicate that the defendant is guilty of a
felony, but to show the intent with which the
goods were taken from the owner by the prin
cipal thief. There was no error in admitting
the testimony of Johnson—Code 3799. It is
assigned for error that the court overruled
the defendant’s morion to quash the indict-
ment after verdict, on the ground that two of
the grand jurors who found tho bill of in
dictment against the defendant were slock-
holdcrs in the Central Railroad ft Banking
Company; the said Central Railroad ft Bank
ing Company being the prosecutor,which fact
was not knewn to defendant until after the
trial. The record shows that William SI.
Wadley was the prosecutor, and not the Cen
tral Railroad ft Banking Company. There
is sufficient evidence in the record'to snstain
the verdict of the jury. In our judgment
the motion for a new trial was properly over
ruled.
Let tne judgment of the court below be
affirmed.

WARNER, O. J.
This was an action brought by tbe plain-
tills, who were partners, against the defend
ant on a promissory note. The defendant
dead a partial failure of consideration, ul-
eglng that one of the mules for which the
note was given was unsour d at the time of
the sale, and of no value, and that the con
sideration, so far as that mule was concerned,
hod failed, to-wit, in the sum of one hundred
and fifty dollars, of which the plaintiffs then
and there hai notice. On the trial it appeals
from the evidence in the record, that the
plaintiffs sold to the defendant two mules
and a wagon, one of the mules being blind—
that tbe defendant had paid the plaintiffs one
hundred and fifty dollars, which was credited
on the note. One witness testified that the
unsound mule, which died, was tlie induce
ment to the purchase. It also appears from
tbe evidence that the mule was sick before
do, but which has no meaning or signifi
cance whatever. To any but very
slendcr®flgures a “ wattean” design is
exceedingly unbecoming. In thick mate
rials it i- clumsy, and it to always too neglige
for real elegance. Ladies Blionld, therefore,
be caution* in having spring and summer
cost times made up af Iti.Vatican patterns, espe
cially those who cannot afford a great varie
ty, for the reasons, though thev may not
seem apparent at first, will present themselves
strongly aftorwarda and givo occasion for
fresh trouble and exjiense in remodeling.
EKMLISI CAFES AttD TALMAS.
There are many very pretty talmas, Jack
cts and mantles or light cloth and cashmere,
which are adopted for springwearoverdemi-
traiucil dresses, or as an addition to suit*.
These are almost aniforrasliy embroidered
either with black untae'e or two shades of
tho light gray atone and wood color which
constitute* tbe color of tbe doth.
The beach cashmere and tragi els jacket*
omhroidered in colors, which were a rage tor
a time, can now be bought for a song.
With the warm weather will come a de
mand for lace sacqnes and jackets, which
are very graceful in style. In real euipuirc,
they are m<ire effective than Chantilly lace,
aod of coarse ire less costly.' A very hand
some guipure jacket can be purchased for
seventy-five dollars, and considerably less of
a somewhat coarser quality. Fine Leama
lace sacques, which the most distinguished
ladies now wear oyer black grenadine or
gauze suits and dresses, cm be bought at from
tnenty to thirty dollars.
TIM TOUItXUBB.
Hoojied-skirts arc no longer worn, but the
tournure is now an object of the very great
est importance, as tbe entire character of tbe
costume depends upon the more or less bouf
fant style of tbe tunic and its proper ar
rangement over a fitting bustle, or, more cor
rectly, tournure, Tbe number and variety
therefore, of new bustles and, tournurcs
is endle*9 t and in the mc.ntime, girls
whose pocket money to scanty draw
a newspaper upon a string and try to
counterfeit tits required lump, without more
expenditure than is required for the daily in
tellectual feast of tbe average American citi-
zen.
Parasols hare reached the extremity of
size and ugliness, they araneither respectable
os umbrellas nor pretty and ladylike as para
sols.
Smelling bottles attached by gilt chains to
the waist band are considered a necessary
part of a summer outfit.
Very handsome riding habits of gray silk

the back, are the latest for lady equestrians.

Willis Young, Sr., as tbc bead of a family,
applied for a bomesteqd, which was objected
to by Brown ft Co., bis mortgage creditors,

tbe applicant was not entitled to a homestead

sold tor more than *1,300, but the planter
drew upon him by draft in favor of different

enough to self, and we will get rid of him."
Shortly after tbe purchase the mule died, and
after tho death of the mule he, one of the
plaintiffs,said the mule was not worth any
thing, and defendant ought not to pay for
him. The court charged t be juty that if they
found under the evidence that the mule was
sick or diseased at the time of tbe sale
and died of the disease, that it was a partial
failureof consideration and defendant was cn
titled to a verdict. Tbc jury found for the
defendant, and plaintiffs made a motion for a
new trial, on tbe ground of error in the
charge ot the court, and because tbe verdict
was contrary to tbe evidence, which motion
was overruled and the plaintiff's cxci pled.
The error alleged to the charge of the court
that this defence of partial failure of
consideration was not a good defence to the
note under tho facts of the case unless
there had been a warranty of the' soundness
of the mule, or deceit on tbc part of the
plaintiffs when the sale was made. What
ever might have been the rule by tbe com
mon law in relation to Ibis question, our
Code has modified that rule, if it baa not en
tirely changed it. “It the consideration ap
parently good or valuable fails, either wholly
or iff part before the promise is executed,
such failure may be pleaded in defence to
the promise. If partial, on apportionment
must tie made accenting to the facts of each
case.” (Code, Section 2,708) “Whenever an
action shall bs commenced at common law
founded upon any contract, the defendant in
such action may plead and give in evidence
to the jury upon the trial thereof, that the
consideration, upon which raid contract was
founded, has totally, ur partially fail
ed. Such pica shall only be pleaded in
eases between tbc original parties to
the contr.tc.1 or their privies, or as-
ignees whose title has been acquired with
notice, actual or constructive, or by operation
of law.” (Code 34*1.) If there to no ex
press covenant of warranty in the sale of a
chattel, the seller warrants that be has a valid
title and right to sell; that the article sold is
merchantable and reasonably suited lo
tho use intended; that be knows of no latent
defects undisclosed. (Code 28UU.) In this
case the evidence to that one of the plaintiffs,
who were partners, knew that the mule was
diseased, which fact was not apparent to the
purchaser, nor disclosed by the seller. Al
though the charge of the court may not have
been technically correct, yet it was substan
tially so in view of the facts of tbe case, and
when it appears from tbc evidence in the
record that justice has been done, a new trial
should not be granted. (Terhunc vs. Dover,
36th Ga. Rep.. 653.)

In an indictment against a magistrate for
willfully and knowingly demanding more
costs than lie was entitled to by law, it is not
sufficient as in ordinary cases to set forth the
offense in the language of the Code. The

of the complaint’’ and is defective unlera it

Dr. H. H. Tucker lately baptised an Italian
in the Ti’ier, tho first one since the days of
Paul. The Christians at Rome are praying
that God wilt incline American .Baptists to
build them a house in which to worship the
Most High.
Rome is pre-eminently a city in which to
plant Christianity. When Rome falls, all the
idolatries of earth will fall too, as it is the
center of all abominations. Will we not
seize the opportunity now afforded and go iu
and possess this land?
Dr. J. B. Jeter, of Virginia, followed, re

guiding hand of Providence in all the events
of the last three ycarson the continent This
Roman mission has been beyond parallel, the
most successful one estab ished in modem
times. Already seven Bapttot churches dot
tbe plains of Italy, and soon these will form
themselves into an association such os we
have in Georgia.
Ho read a letter from Drs. Tucker and
Yates, in which they indorse Dr. Cote, and
commend him to tbe Southern Baptists and
insist that great efforts be made now to meet
this emergency, and build this House forGod
at Rome. He thinks Richmond will raise
*5,003 for this cause.
The Boston pastors have resolved that
♦100.0C0 must be raised to build this house.
Thus these Northern brethren are willing to
assist us. Yet the title of this building will

tbe South must help too, as this to our Mi*.

and let us erect a noble building, one that will
not fail to attract attention aud admiration.
Dr. Dcvotie was called on. Ho said be

in this bouse. “ I want more than one brick;
that don’t suit me.” Al this stage ot tlie
speech tbe Doctor went off in sn indescriba

He was followed by AY. N.Chaudoin. lie
spoke:
1. As to results, and tbc report is very
cheering.
2. To necessities. This to truly great. Not
fifty miles from Macon, recently', was found
a child ten years old, that had never seen a
minister nor heard a sermon.
It lain the thinly settled districts of the
mountains and sea-board that this destitution
to most felt.
3. He regards giving as a mean* of grace
second to not even prayer, and be rejoiced to
know that the peojfie were begining to see
the subjective us well as tbe ol jectire vic-.v of
this subject. “It is more blessed to give than
to receive.”
Dr. Sumner followed, showing 'hat the re
ceipts of tbe Domestic Board are rapidly in-
creasing. Two years ago it reporlisl *56,0 0:
one year ago,- *31,000; now *39,000; 177
men have been in the employ c-f this
Board for the last year. No interest to so
great as this. Tills is the ground-work of all
other missions. It wc languish at home,
then will China, Italy and Africa soon feel
the effects, but if the field be cultivated well
at home, then will we be able to assist the
foreign field.
Since tbe organization of the Board, we
have had 1,500 missionaries in its employ.
All these are friends to the Board and ate
helping us still.

Judge Stanley Matthews, of Ohio, was
nominated for temporary chairman, which
was carried unanimously.
Matthews said: it is no idle affectation
when I say it is imposcible to express the

accept the unexpected honor -thus con
ferred upon me. I am unprepared
to preface the assumption of toeduttes of toe
Chair with such remarks os arc appropriate
to this occasion. No one could get the peo
ple to say what the re-ult of tbis convention
will be; but the main thing, that wbicb
set above all else, was that toe time has
come when it is tbe voice of a large and in
fluential portion of toe people that they no
