Jno. l’cabody, contra.
Ton rs. Blanchard. Assumpsit from Mus
cogee. Before Judge Willis. Course of
dealing. Authority. Komittonce to con
signor. Ratification.
BuunroRD, J.—1. The course of dealings
between the parties authorized the defend
ant to have remitted the monoy by steamer
to the phuntiff, but only authorized send
ing morey to Ocheesee or Blount's Town as
in all remittances theretofore had been sent
those places and all consignments by
plaintiff hail been made from them or from
Atkins's Landing. Hence a remittance of
money by steamer to Iola was unauthorized,
and its loss by the destruction of the steam
er before it reached any of the places men
tioned must fall on the defendant.
2. A demand on the owners of the steam
boat for the money, made by plaintiff but
at the instance of defendant, cannot bo
construed into a ratification. He did no act
by which defendant was injured nnd re
ceived no benefit for himself. 17 Ves. 25;

liiANDFoini,1. When the considera
tion of a contract is land the purchaser con
tracts with his eyes open, and if he is not
in some way deprived of the opportunity of
inspecting the land for himself by fraudu
lent acts or conduct of the vendor he will
not be heard to complain.
In this case there is, also, no offer to re
scind the contract, but the plea simply sets
up a misrepresentation. It was properly
stricken. Code 2035, 2652, 3120. Judg
ment affirmed.

iff; W. B. Butt, contra.

tion, from Harris. Before Judge Willis.
Equity. Injunction. Judgment. Dili
gence!
Buni>fokd, J.—A bill praying for in
junction ngninst a common law judgment,
on the ground that plaintiff therein had
possession of certain books of account
which complainant was unable to obtain un
til the trial of the case at lnw, and he did
not have time to examine them before the
trial, that he hat since examined them and
discovered that ho could prove from them
that plaintiff was indebted to him in an
amount more than the judgment, nnd that
plaintiff in judgment is insolvent, is utterly
without equity. There is not even an alle
gation that complainant asked for time to ex
amine the books at the trial and that it was
denied him. Judgment affirmed.
J. M. Mobley, L. L. Stanford, A. A. Do

JIlaxfoud, J.—1. A charge that the city
was bound to keep its streets in a reasona
bly safe condition for persons to pass
thereon in safety by night as well as by
day, but if plaintiff could have avoided the
injury by the use of ordinary diligence on
his part the city would not lie liable, was a
correct statement of the law. 03 Go. 295;

Trust estates. Chancellor. Chambers.
Jurisdiction. Sales.
ilLasnroaD, J.—Where by deed a life
tate was created to be held in trust for Mrs.
Pace, with remainder to her children, there
was no trust connected with the estate of
the children and a chancellor had no author
ity at chambers to order the sale of the
same. Code 2320, 2327. Judgment affirm
ed.
0. J. Thornton, for plaintiff; Hatcher A
Peabody, contra.
Hunt vs. Bowen. Claim, from Muscogee.
Before Judge Willis. Mortgage. Record.
Lien. Priority.
Buzdvosu, J.—1. In Alsbams s mort
gage on personalty may be admitted to re
cord without acknowledgment and proof
of execution and without witnesses, and
when recorded operates as notice. GO Ala.
293.
2. By the laws of this State a mort
gage on tho personalty of a non
resident moat be recorded tn the
county where the property is
when the mortgage was executed. Code
1956. In this case the mortgage was not so
recorded until long after the mortgagor bad
surrendered the property in qnestton to the
Alabama mortgagee and said mortgagee bad
sold it to claimant, and long after the time
provided by law for its record. Hence, the
Georgia mortgage had lost its lien when
claimant purchased.
3. The question of identity and descrip
tion of the mortgaged property was proper
ly left to the jury. Judgment affirmed.
Hatcher A Peabody, for plaintiff; McNeill
A Levy, contra.
Ridenhoar, J. P., vs. the State. Malprac-
Hoe, from Muscogee. Before Judge
Willie. Criminal law. Malpractice in
office. Justice of the pesoe. Indictment.
Extortion. Corruption. Jury.
ItLxxnrosn, J.—1. In case of indictment
of a justice of the peace for malpractice,
copy of the indictment omitting only the
names of the grand jurors, is snfficieut to
serve on the accused under the statute.
2. The charge of the court was a correct
one and shows that the court invariably pnt
the case to the jury, that if the accused de
manded and received, or received after de-
in.-n ling, more coals than he was entitled
to, etc., he was guilty.
3. The words “wilfully and knowingly"
in the statute imply corruption, and a
charge following the Urmtof tie statute
correct, and refusal to charge that it must
be shown that the defendant acted corruptly
was not error. Code 4501.
4. Although it was frequently held by
this court until 42 Ga. 9, that the juries in
this State were judges of the law, as well
the facts in criminal cases, in the broad
sense of those words, ttul although two
member* of the present court believe this
construction of the law to be the proper
one, yet this court held unanimously to the
contrary in Hill v*. State, C4 Ga 654, and
this decision most be followed, since the
chief justice adheres to the opinion therein
expressed. Judgment affirmed.
B. A. Thornton, Goetchius A Chappell
for plaintiff; T. W. Grimes, solicitor-gen
eral, by Jno. Peabody, contra.
Wm. Baldwin vs. the State. Stabbing, from
Terrell Before Judge Clarke. Criminal
law. Stabbing. Charge of the court.
Cironmstanccs of justification. Penalty.
Blandfokd, J.—1. On a trial for stabbing
the jury are to determine in the first in
stance whether the same was done by ac
cused in his own defense, nnd also from all
the facts and circumstances of the case
whether there he other circumatancea of
justification than that of self defense; and
it is error for the court in its charge to re
strict or circumscribe the jury in their right
and duty to judge and determine the cir-
cumstailres which may or may not make
the stabling justifiable under the law, or
which may have been equivalent to his hav
ing abandoned the conflict in good faith.
Code 4369.
2. The fine imposed did not exceed the
amount limited by the code nnd we would
not interfere on "that ground. Judgment
reversed.
Hall, J., concurred but furnished no writ
ten opinion. Jackson, C. J., dissented.

CRAZY GU1I.TS COMPETING.
New Vorc World.
The national crazy-work exhibition open
ed in the grand lodge room of the Masonic
temple yesterday at noon.
The gorgeous array of color presented to
the eye upon entering tho door is some
thing indescribable, such an effect as could
be produced by nothing else, perhaps, but
by such an insane jumbling togetherof rain
bow hues and tints, as a hundred or more
crazy quilts show. It is as though n streak of
lightning had struck the prismatic tube and
scut the colors adrift in glowing fragments.
One eoubl think of nothing but a room
aglow with bright sunlight streaming
through stained glass. Tho exhibition is
more particularly devoted to quilts, al
though other specimens of art needlework
and decorative pieces are shown. There are
few paintings, several large pieces of tap
estry, some landscapes and figure
pieces in Kensington stitch, a good
mnnv designs in lace work and some em
broidery. But the quilts arc arranged in a
ay to show them to the host effect and
still preserve something like form and or
der. Ou either side of the hall are arran
ged sin nil booths,, the walls of which are
quilts, while inside are specimens of wo
men’s handiwork scattered about in artistic
disorder, presenting much tho appearance
of a Turkish bazaar. In the centre of
the hall are cases containing the
more delicate fabrics, snch as laces, etc.
In the first booth to tho right is exhibited
pale-blue satin quilt, which was brought
from Japan by the late John McCnllough
and presented to Mrs. Theodore Moss. It
is beautifully wrought in fine needlework
in white silk and shows the marvellous
skill of the Japanese. In another booth
near by is a beautiful crazy-quilt, small but
very pleasing in color, which contains a
piece of a hall dress belonging at OBe time
the ex-Empresa Eugenie, a scrap
of one of Rose Coghlan's stage
dresses, a piece of a dress
worn by a famous belle at a White House
ball and a fragment from one of Sara Jew
ett's pretty gowns. This quilt, which is
ono of the most artistic pieces of work seen,
was done by Mrs. A. Waldemar, who also
exhibits a pretty painting—a study in
pansies.
Another very handsome quilt, sent from
Saratoga, shows tomb taste in its arrange
ment. Around a field of blue satin em
broidered in yellow daises are many piece
of very rich material, ornamented with
fine embroidery, violets, clover and bntter-
cups, the whole finished with n bonier of
peacock-bine plush, cut in “saw-teeth,”
under which shows
the finest Orientul lace,
quilt made by Mr*. Tony Pastor. This
pretty quilt bears the name of “Pastor” in
dark silk on a white satin backgionnd in
one corner, nnd the year “1884” in red on
another portion of its earfaco. Hanging on
the outer walls of this booth are portieres
of woven silk, rag-carpet design, and stand
ing in the centre Is a screen which attracts
notice from its oddity. The panels are
formed of crazy-work well arranged, each
panel differing from the others. Through
the centre of one runs a bar-sinister of olive
pinsh, over-wronght with a cob-web of gold,
and on each of tne othors is some equally
pretty design. This the young ladies pro-

Aa to Furniture.
The expressions of furniture are as varied
as thoKo of the individual, and perhaps are
as easily read as those of tho “human face
divine." Some one has said yon can always
tell whether there is a pretty" woman ubont
the house by the furniture. Everything hns
a dainty, refined air; there are charming
bits of bric-a-brac, cleverly arranged drape
ries, delightful contrasts aud harmonies; so

Breakfast Muffins.—Sift together

two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat
together a tablespoon fill of sugar, two table-
spoonfuls of crenmery butter and tho yelks
of two eggs, add to the flour, bent the whites
of the eggs, and add them also, add a littlo
over half a pint of scalded cream, mix, hnlf

in a qnick oven.—The Cook.
Ilcminy Muffins.—Pound one pint of fine
cold boiled hominy to a smooth paste* odd
to it half a pint of flour, one teaspoonfui of
salt, a heaping tablespoonful of baking
powder. Beat the yelks and whites of two
eggs separately, add to the yelks two ounces
ot butter, same of augar and n scant pint of
lukewarm milk. Mix these ingredients to-
gether and stir into the Hour, mix quickly,

The Cook.

the apples in slices crosswise; dip them in

nounce “too sweet for anything.
On the other aide of the room is the some
display of quilts, some of them odd, some
pretty and, strange to say, very few ugly
ones. Here - also is the worsted work.
Whether it is that worsted does not easily
lend itself to artistic manipulation, or
whether those ladies prone to worsted sen
timents fail to prodneo pleasing effects from
want ot srtistio knowledge, is hard to say,
tmt certain it is that worsted work st an art
is a failure always. In one of the side aisles
stands a table the centre of which is com
posed of unhappy-looking wonted peaches
and pears and small fruits. They rest
upon s bed of white bead work, snrronndcd
by two stiff wreaths of stamped leather
leaves, and the visitor wished devoutly that
some one would screw down the lid and
bear the thing away to its lastreating-
place.
In the tapestnr department there are
some marvels of fine workmanship, though
the coloring is not beyond criticism in
many instances. Moot of these pieces
treated of religions subjects, always
excepting of course the father of
his country, who never escapes
exhibition of this kind, and who
is represented aa usual on horseback with
his hat off. Much of this tapestry work
was done by Mrs. Schmidt, an aged lady,
who also has on exhibition some wood
carving of excellent workmanship. One
piece of tapestry, “Romeo and Juliet,” in
the parting scene, done by Miss Libbie Sey
mour eight years ago, contains 2,500,(100
stitches. The faces are done in qnarter-
stitch and crossed, giving almost the effect
of stipping. The colors for this work were
sent for to Berlin, sa they could not lie
fonnd in this country. Silk, chenille and
zephyr were employed.
A very elaborate evening dress of pale
bine surah, embroidered in chenille and
further ornamented with pink roots in rib-
hoe work attracted a good dyal of attention.
Another dress which has not yet been
placed on exhibition consumed eight yean
iu the ornamentation, and at the end of
that time the woman who emliroider-
ed it lost her eyesight. In one of the glass
cases is exhibited somo fine darned
work by a blind woman, and a tidy of the
same work done by a little sick boy in one
of the city hospital*. Leaning pathetically
against a retired crazy-quilt wall on the
nght hand side of the hall stand* a Ken
sington sketch “done by a man” aa the
giggling girls inform the visitors. Then

many “airy nothings" disponed with u skill
that makes them seem of intrinsic value.
How often do a few dollars nnd woman's
wit transform the barest, most common
place rooms into bowers of beauty unat
tainable by wealth alone. I remember a
room that is not huge, covered with mat
ting and an inexpensive rug whose colors
are soft and rich. Three or four wicker
chairs, each with cushions of charming de
sign, a plain lonnge with a bit of rich drape
ry, an arm chair of comfortable shape, a
substantial table, two or threo “occasional"
tables, each ornamented with some quaint
conceit, a cabinet and an upright piano
complete its furniture. It is a sunny room
and there are thrifty plants and shrubs to
temper the sunlight ns it poors through the
windows on bright autumn days. Somo
well chosen engravings and etchings and
vines of ivy, tradescantia and smilnx, lend
the walls a charm. Bits of dainty pottery
or porcc^in and pretty ornnments delight
the eye and, with books, make one feel that
this is a place of comfort and enjoyment.
Not half a mile away was another room of
capacious size with lofty ceilings, decorated,
of course, for its owner has a large share of
this world's goods, hut iu such manner ns
to make you yearn for a quiet color. The
walls, too, are unsympathetic to the last
degree, making you feel as if the “deco
rator" had a surplus of certain colors opd
wished to “work them off” as rapidly ns
mssible. The pictures—oil pointings, that
tad probably cost more than would have
been required for a collection of delight
ful engravings or etchings—are nil ijenre
lictures, subjects that provoke you by their
nsipidi.y or lack of artistic treatment.
The tnmitnre abounds in tasteless orna
mentation; everything is tn suite, mirrors
that somehow seem to stare you out of
countenance, tahlcs, that have no sugges
tion of beauty, and hold articles that may
have been taken at random from the
snmplo-room of a store without reference-
to aught but cost; pedestal* with hack

>et, which latter carries despair into the
ieart of the beholder, so repellent in’ its
baroque design. Why do persons choose
ugly patterns and colors when there is so
groat a variety of exquisite designs from
which to select? In this instance the very
liano seemed only to add stiffness to this
lore, characterless room, ns it gave only
an idea of size and costliness. The ex
pression of this furniture was type of
he person to whom it belonged—ono of
excellent character, bat without sympathy
with nature, art, or literature; n model
housekeeper, hut pragmatic and unrespon
sive to anght but those things needed. for

Spanish Onion, broiled.—The large Span

of this odoriferous family. Peel them care

without being frozen the better. The top
may be frosted with the whites it desired.
ono The jelly alone, made more acid by using
leas sugar, is very agreeable nnd appetizing
to invalids—easy digested by very weak
stomachs.
Talmouses. —Ingredients required: Half
a pint of milk, four ounces of flour, two
ounces of sugar, two ounces of butter, six
ounces of cream curd, the rind of nn orange
rubbed on sugar, a very littlo salt aud one-
half puff paste. Put the milk, butter, sugar
and salt into a stetvpnn on a stove-fire, aud
os soon ns they begin to simmer, fill in the
flour by stirring tne whole with a wooden
spoon for two or threo minutes over the
fire; then add the curd (from which all the
superfious moisture must be extracted by
pressiug it with a napkin), and work in the
eggs one after the other. Make one-half
pound puff pnste and give it nine turns,
roll this out to the eighth of nn inch in
thickness, stamp out about two dozen cir
cular pieces with a tin cutter about two
inches iu diameter aud place them in neat
order on a baking-sheet about two inches
apart from other, then place a teaspoonfui
of tho preparation described ubove in the
centre of each, wet them round the edges,
and then turn up the aidcR so as to form
each of them in the shnpo ot a three-
cornered lint, egg them over with a paste
brush, hake them ot u light lirown color
and when they are withdrawn from the
oven shake some fine sugar over them.

Dinner cards of the most recherche de
scrip ion have the name of the guest paint
ed in gilt on natural leaves. Those of the
rubber plant and of the English ivy are
most mied for this purpose.
Apple Dumpling*.—Make a crust as for
pies. Pare and core the apples, then
fill them with sngar and butter and roll each
in a piece of ernst sufficient to corerit well,
folding it over neatly nn the top. Bake in
a well-battered tin half nn hour in n qnick
ove. To be eaten with any kind of podding
nance.
Minnie's Lemon Pie.—Four eggs, one enp
sngar, juice of two lemons, one cup of cold
water, one tahlespoonfnl of flonr. Have
yoar paste ready and pour mixture in, bake

Curried beef is a favorite supper dish in
some families. Take slices of cold roast
beef, cut them up into small bits, put n
piece of butter into a saucepan nnd put tho
meat into it, with two onions sliced very
thin, n little water, one dessert spoonful of
curry powder. Let this simmer for ten or
fifteen minutes. Liuenn earthen vegetable
dish with boiled rice nnd pour the curried
beef into it. Serve hot.
If cranberries are to bo served with tur
key or game, cook them in this way: To
one pound of cranberries, ufter they are
picked over nnd washed, allow one pound
of granulated sugnr and half a pint of water.
Put the sugnr and water into a porcelain
kettle, and let it come to a boil; then put
the berries in. After they begin to boil
allow full ten minutes for boiling. Then
pour all into a mold, which you have dip
ped into cold water; this will provent the
jelly from sticking to the mold. let it
stand all night, or longer; it will then turn
out like jelly, and it will be found to bo
sweet nnd yet tart. A larger quantity may
be prepared, as it will keep as well os any
jelly.
Sago Custard, which is both nourishing
and palatable, is made by soaking two table
spoonfuls of sago in half a pint of water for
an hour and a half, then bout it in tho same
water until it looks clear, then add a tum
bler of sweet milk, let this boil for a minute
or two, odd sugar to your taste, and when
you remove it from the fire ndd one well-
beaten egg, and flavor to vour taste.
With the advent ot cold weather the florist
regains prominence ns a purveyor to the
city’s wants. Flowers are needed for the
decoration of dinner-tables, for weddings,
for theatre and opera parties, for gifts to
friends nnd sweethearts and other occasions
where they seem the only fit symbol that
can he used. Talks with the florists show
that they have a Laudable ambition to create
new styles of decoration and bring forth
now varieties of flowers for public favor.
But tho men in tho business find it is not
so easy a matter to improve on a La France
rose or to invent nn entirely new method of
decorating a dinner-table.
Custard Fritters.—Boil a pint of milk
with cinnamon anil lemon, add four ounces
sugar, one onnee Hour, a grain of salt, nnd
six eggs, heat all together and steam this
disturb in S plain mold previously spread
inside with butter, nnd when firm and quite
cold let it ho carefully cut into square
pieces, dipped in frying hatter in which
there has been mixed a little cream and
dropped separately in a frying-pan ot boil

over drain and dish them up with some
kind of preserve round them.

bread crumb* ndd a quart of milk, mix to-
S ether five ounces of sugar, three ounces of

Grate the outer yellow rind of two lemons
and with the jnico of one mix all together;
Savor with gronnd mixed spice to tmt yonr
taste, put the mixtnre in a battered pan
and bake twenty-fivo minutes. Bent the
white of the eggs to a ipnngjr froth with
three onnees of fine sngnr, take the puddinj
out of the oven, add the meringue, ant
when slightly colored, it is done.--The
Cook,
Fish Chowder.—Two pound* of cod-
fish, three onions, one-half pound of salt
pork, one pound of crackers, one-half pint
of milk. Cut the pork into very small strip*
and put in an iron pot. Fry slowly till crisp,
being careful not to burn, ndd the onions,

and onions, season with salt and pepper.
Tum in two quart* of boiling water, cover
the kettle closely and simmer gently for half
an hoar, poor in the milk and boil ten min
utes. Serve very hot. It is an improvement
to add fifty salt oysters with the milk.
A Toothsome Chicken I’le.
One of our young readers nsks how to
mnke a "brown chicken pie, that is, one in
which tho chicken is browned and seasoned
with all sort- of things." Her John tasted
one once, anil has trie 1 to tell her howto
make it, lint she doesu't rate his culinary
powers very high. I have a rulo which I
can send her, hut do not think it hnlf so
nice os the plan. Chop n small onion, two
crisp, white stalk* of celery, and a good siz
ed sprig of parsley, fine. Put into a small
saucepan wiih one-half cup of water, and
one teaspoonfui of butter, and let it simmer
awhile. Put a tablespoonful of bntter in a
largo frying pan. nnd when it browns put
in the chicken, (which, of course, is cooked
precisely as for an ordinary pie,) and when
well browned on both sides, pour in the con
tents of the snneepan and shake until well
mixed. Add a pint of the broth in which
the chicken was boiled, nnd cover closelj’,
letting it simmer for fifteen minutes.
Drain the chicken anil pnt it into the crust
Slice four hard boiled eggs and putin layers
over the chicken with bits of butter, a heap
ing teaspoonfnl cut fine is sufficient, on
each layer, Two is enough, making three
of the chicken. Wlu-n all is ready for the
top crust, stir a little thi kening into the
gravy which has been kept hot. A table
spoonful of flour mixed to a smooth pnste
with cold milk or water enough, and when
boils up remo70 from the fire. Add a bit
of cayenne pepper nnd salt to mnke it well
seasoned—yon can add a teaspoonfui of
curiy powder, if yon like,nnd pour over tho
chicken. Put on the top ertu-t, having two
or three slits across the top, anil bake as iu
former directions.

New York Hair Dosleis’Circular.
A peat change has quietly taken place in
hairdressing fashions. Fashionable Indies,
tired of the high styles, are gradually wear
ing the Catogan braid or wavy carls low on
the neck, worn by the London and Parisian
lnilies last winter. The Puritan style of
boir-cutting, close all ovor the head and
shaped in saucer bang on the forohead,
which was quite a favorite with sporting
ladies, hns been eagerly adopted by our
shop girls, perhaps because it saves time.
This style is not worn in Europe, nnd the
sooner it U discountenanced hore the better
for the looks of onr fair countrywomen.
Front coiffures ore worn in Pompodonr
style.
The hack hair for daily wear is dressed in
Catogan braid about two inches from the
nape of the neck, looped up and a figure
eight made of waiy Leases on tho crown
close to tho front earls. Loop shell pins
are essential to dress the hair in loops.
For evening wear the hair is dressed in
fluffy curls In front, Pompadour style, and
the back hair in wavy loops, not too large,
but long, ending in two or three graceful
wavy curls tolling on the neck. Fancy pins
in gold and silver, studding with brilliants
or rhinestones, are much in vogue for orna
ments. Feather pnffa for matrons and
flowers for young ladies. Front coiffures
connected with a Catogan braid or wavy
carls are being introduced to “forlorn dam
sels with shorn locks" who are anxiotu to
recover their fashionable appeoranco. Gray
boir is moro fashionable than ever. Ladies
who have a sprinkling of gray hnve front
coiffures and chignon* made quite pay and
have them dressed in the latest style.
BARKING LIKE A DOG.
Horrible Death of a Newark Woman From
Hydrophobia.
Mrs. Annie Farrell, of No. 452 Court
street, Newark, N. J., died at 6 p. m.
Wednesday of hydrophobia Abont ten
weeks ago she was passing along Norfolk
street, when she saw a small white dog lying
in the gutter, moaning 'with pain. She
took pity on the animal and stooping down
p itted it on the head. The dog was quiet
for a moment, and then being seized with n
spasm, bnried its toot in the woman's right
hand. Mrs. Farrell then noticed that the
dog’s mouth was covered with foam, and
she became apprehensive. She hur
ried home , and dressed the
wound, which apparently healed.
Last Sunday morning Mrs. Farrell had a
muscular contraction of the throat, which
nearly choked her, aa the approached a ves
sel of water. A homo-opatkic physician was
c died in and attended her during the night.
She grew rapidly worse and developed un
mistakable symptoms of hydrophobia.
Thick, frothy saliva covered her lips. In
her spasm* everjr muscle of her body would
contract; her throat would swell until the
veins stood ont, and she gave utterance to
quick barking sonnd*. Dr. Dieffeubach,
her physician, administered hypodermic in*
jections of morphia, which gave her part IQ
relief. The tears of the bite on her litfn
were still visible, and were slightly red.
