The Constitution of the 13th, con
tains a statement by State Treasurer,
Hardeman, in reference to the finan
cial condition of the State of Georgia.
We copy the following. He is allud
ing to an opinion which had been
expressed by Capt. Purse of Savan
nah. "We merely copy this much of
State Treasurer Hardeman’s views
as to the financial condition of the
State;
“I say he is wrong, because the
constitution of ’77 provides fora sink
ing fund after ’86.”
“So the State will have no trouble?”
“None that I can see. Now this is
the way it stands: Iu 1873 the Nut
ting bonds were created. The law
authorizing these bonds provided
that $100,000 should be raised annu
ally by taxation for the purpose of
retiring them. This $100,000 was to
be raised every year until 1886, when
the last of the bonds fell due. Now
that $100,000 a year might have been
called a sinking fund. In '77 the con
stitution was adopted. One section
provides that after ’86, $100,ooo shail
be raised by taxation as a sinking
fund to meot the State debt. The
clause provides for the sinking fund
after ’86 not before. This was done
because the Nutting bond act pro
vided $100,000 a year until ’86 to meet
those bonds. The act of December,
24, ’84, did not provide for a sinking
fund, because the constitution pro
vides for one after ’86. The bonds
to be issued by that act of ’86 will be
provided for by the constitution.
This act provides for bonds amount
ing to $3,455,135, and it will require
that amount to retire the debt of '85
and ’86. In ’85 the state will have to
pay $109,035. Eighteen thousand and
thirty-five dollars of this are the four
per cent or baby bonds, while $91,-
000 are Nutting eight per cent bonds.
The debts falling due in ’86 amount
to $3,346,100; $99,000 are Nutting
bonds, and the other railroad bonds,
and other debts. Now I do know
that a bill has already been prepared
and will be introduced at the next
session of the Legislature in July
providing for a fund after ’86.”
One of the toasts drunk at a celebration
was: “Woman! She requires no eulogy—
she speaks for herself.
The crowds increase. Visitors are
pleased to find that rates have not

The National Cotton Planters’ Asso
ciation held its fourth day’s session
on the 13th, in the main building of
the Exposition. The meeting was
solely occupied by the address of
Captain Bedford Pinn, of the British
Navy, late of the British Parliament,
on the subject of live stock and
ranches of the United States. In
the course of his address he said he
was convinced that a first class har
bor might be constructed at Galves
ton, Texas, in the course of a year
from the commencement of the work,
by running a railroad on screw piles
out to a depth of 30 feet of water, and
protecting it from heavy weather by
a floating break water of peculiar
shape.
“The National farmers’ congress,
at their session to-day, adopted the
following, prepared by the commit
tee appointed to memorialize con
gress : The Farmers’ congress, in
called session, in the city of New
Orleans, feel it our duty to do all in
our power to elevate and ennoble
our calling. We recognize as a first
step toward this desirable end, the
imperative necessity of full recogni
tion and equal representation at the
national capital and in the nation’s
council. This we cannot have, while
we are not recognized as a co-ordi
nate branch of the general govern
ment and represented among the
president’s advisers. Having- long
borne the chief burden of taxation,
we feel that we have been denied our
just rights, and now ask that we be
no longer ignored. We, therefore,
most respectfully and urgently press
upon our senators the importance of
immediate action during the present
session upon the bill now before
them, having passed the house by so
handsome a majority, providing for a
department of agriculture and mak
ing the head of that department a
cabinet officer. We are confident
that such action on their part will
meet with the hearty approval of all
classes of our people and receive the
enthusiastic endorsement of the
great masses who till the soil and fur
nish the sinews of war for the me
chanical and commercial world. We,
therefore, request that a hearing be
granted the committee who will bear
this message from us and iu person
present it to your honorable body. A
committee was appointed to proceed
to Washington, to convey resolutions.
A resolution was also adopted rela
tive to the Blair bill, regretting the
probable adjournment of Congress
before final action is taken on it.”
We copy this from the New Orleans
telegraphic dispatches, of the 13th,
to the Augusta Chronicle.
Washington Letter,
THE FOOL.
Robert Burdette.
Women Honest, True, and Good.
We take great pleasure in publish
ing the following, which we find in
the Louisville Courier-Journal:
“There are forty women acting as
cashiers of banks in Dakota. Not
one of them has ever speculated,
been short in her accounts, or mani
fested the slightest hankering for
the bracing atmosphere of Canada.
Here we have forty examples of wo
men exposed to temptation and not a
single one forfeited her integrity. Of
man it cannot be said, but of woman
it can be said with truth, she was
made a little lower than the angels.
Some of them are angels in human
form.” The above is a remarkable
testimony to her worth and virtues.
Out of a hundred so situated, there
might be one who would yield to
temptation, out of a hundred men
perhaps twenty. The history of wo
men, in places of trust, and honor
snows a brilliant record of fidelity;
in man many dark exceptions. This
can only be accounted for in the su
periority of their angelic attributes.
We have no reason to say this but
from observations of a long life ex
tended beyond the scripture limit.

fices to be divided out in the next
world, those who may be fortunate
enough to get to the good kingdom,
will have every reason to be satisfied.
We hope the good work will go on
in Ohio, that many more wiil be for
given and escape the punishment
due to bulldosing, double voting, anu
other sins committed in this world.
The door is open wide for repentant
sinners. Let them fall into line as
they can to escape the punishment
due to unrepentant sinners.

Washington, Feb. 16th, 1885.
Congress tor the past week has been the
font bail of obstructive dilatory and mis
chievous cranks. Appropriation bills and
other important if not indispensable leg
islation have been delayed and an extra
session seems very probable. Well, who
cares? Let an extra session be called. A
member of Congress is paid $5,000 a year
and whether he legislates in Washington
or vegetates in his rural home, he draws
his pay all the same. We pay Congress
to make laws. It is desperately difficult to
keep them down to their work. They are
wretched shirks; they seldom pull togeth
er except on a motion to adjourn, but
since they are paid so much per year let
their alleged work be continuous through
out the year. It would be better to pay
them by the dav and only when they are
in their seats. When a member falls to
answer to his name on roll call dock his
wages. If he is tardy, require him to bring
a written excuse from his wife. If these
wholesome rules were enforced there
would be less absenteeism, less skipping
around the corner, less solitary aud infor
mal adjournment to the restaurants in the
basement of the Capitol. The fact is, that
the people are too easy and lenient with
those who, with vaunting hypocrisy, call
themselves “public servants.” These dep
utized legislative employes, tojspeak it
mildly, are many.of them bummers and
loafers, interested chiefly in their private
ambitions and pleasures, and utterly in
different to, or ignorant of, the needs of
the great interests which they are sent to
represent. Congress is not up with the
times. It is not at ail progressive. So
lar as I know parliamentary methods and
procedure are not much better now tiian
when Rome was a Republic 2,000 years
ago. A plan has been devised to call the
roll by electricity, and thus register in
stantaneously the vote of every member,
but the old and tedious plan of calling the
ayes and nays is still followed, consuming
a great portion of the session.
An extra session will probably be called
early iu April. It is said that the Demo
crats desire to avoid an extra session on
political grounds, but apprehensions are
perhaps exaggerated, and it is time legis
lators should rise above mere party ex
pediency and do their duty without fear.
In the end this would prove to be the
broadest and highest expediency.
It will be remembered that eight years
ago the petty Michigan accident who oc
cupied the Vice President’s seat in the
Senate, assumed that he was the proper
person to declare who was the President
of the United States. Worked by Zach
Chandler, John Sherman, Morton, and oth
er desperate conspirators, this puppet had
much to do in making the ueplorablomake
shift of the electoral commission possible.
I will mention that his name was Ferry,
for perhaps the reader has forgotten his
name, as has the world tiis existence. Sen
ator Edmunds, the Vice President’s recent
much discussed announcement of the “ap
pearance” of the returns is a political de
nial of the authority claimed by all repub
licans, Mr. Edmunds among them. Then,
in 187G Mr. Edmunds was ready, by any
means, as he afterwards showed, when a
member of the court which made Hayes
President, to perpetuate the rule of his
party. This man is a profound and able
lawyer, but he is as conscienceless and as
cunning as James G. Blaine.
It. looks now as if Mr. Thurman will be
a member of the Cabinet or r.»o m i
Cleveland. He is earnestly urged by in
fluential Democrats throughout the coun
try. Senator Pei dleton does not want a
Cabinet portfolio, but asks that Mr. Thur
man may be appointed. The objection has
been made that he is too old, but he is
younger than Gladstone, Bismarck, or
Moltke. lie is ablest among the able. No
man is better equipped for the portfolios
ol State, Finance, Justice, or the Interior.
It is no disparagement of others to say
that he is the most profound lawyer that
has been in public life since the war; he
is thoroughly posted iu home and foreign
questions. While a member of the Senate
he exercised without arrogance, and
through a voluntary recognition of his
superiority, the functions of leader and
counselor to the Democratic side. There
wore able Democratic Senators around him,
there were Lamar, Beck, Vest, McDonald,
Pendleton, Vorhees, Hill, Morgan and oth
ers who might have led, had they not with
one accord trusted to the learning, the
wisdom, the eloquence and the patriotism
of “the grand old man.”
Ah ! joy is me, my work i9 dropped,
For who can work without his tools?
True, as you say, my pay is stopped.
But money is'not good for fools.
So foolish here I sit and dream.
Within my sanctum's scanty bound;
I touch no pen to thought or theme.
But watch the world go round and round.
With sweat and struggle, toil and pain.
From dawn of day to set of sun.
With iustof power and greed of gain.
With battles lost and victories Won.
With hate and fear and bitter strife,
With treacherous flow and angry wound.
While I, the fool, in iiappier life,
J ust watch the world go round and round.

One snowy winter night an
English funner named Robin
Cartwright, sitting with his wife
before his blazing lire of oak-
wood, fancied that he heard the
faint bleating of si sheep outside
his door, and anxious for his
dock, took his lantern, and went
out to look for the poor creature.
No sheep was there, however,
but, instead, close against the
door-jam, a basket, lined with
wool anti covered with a blanket,
in which lay a very young
child.
There were footsteps in the
snow which led up to the door,
and other steps which led away
from it.
Holding his lantern low, the
farmer followed these until they
ceased abruptly beside the mar
gin of the river which lay at the
foot of his land. Lifting his
lantern over his head, the good
man shouted aloud half a dozen
times.
“Hullo!” he cried—“hullo!”

winter night alone answered him.
As he stood listening in vain, a
shudder ran through his stout
frame.
His imagination pictured a
young woman, trembling, un
happy, shame stricken, who,
having laid her infant at his door,
had .sped away towards this dark
water to hide her woes within its
bosom.
“Friends here!” he shouted
again—“dear friends here!—only
friends!”
But again he heard no sound ;
and after searching the banks
carefully, ho returned to his cot
tage.
His wife, meanwhile, had tak
en the child to the tire, and cared
for it kindly. It was a pretty lit
tle boy, dressed in good and com
fortable garments, and fastened
about its neck by a cord w r as one-
half of a very peculiar silver clasp
or buckle.
It seemed evident that the clasp
was intended to he a token, bv
which the infant’s identity might
one day be proven, and the farm
er’s wife put it away carefully.
Inquiries were made in the
neighborhood, but they led to no
discoveries, and the Cartwrights
kept the child, though they did
not deem it wise to adopt him as
their own. He was kindly cared
for, but brought up as a servant.
Ho had been chri. tened Roger,
and knew no other name.
As soon as he was old enough
he was put to out-door work, and
though taught to read aud write,
was otherwise on a par with his
fellow-laborers. He had never
seen any place more elegant than
the farmhouse parlor, nor any
dress more costly than that his
mistress wore to church on Sun
day. Yet his dreams, which he
was foud of telling, were all of
magnificence and splendor.
Often in his. sleep he found
himself in an elegant room, fur
nished in yellow satin. There
were old portraits on the walls,
and beautiful ornaments every
where. Here he always saw a
lady dressed in black, but wear
ing diamonds, who was very beau
tiful, and who often wept; and a
gentleman who wore something
on his breast, as he explained to
Mrs. Cartwright, “like your best
breastpin, but more sparkling,”
thus describing an Order, as it
seemed. He appeared always to
be himself invisible; and once a
man iu livery, who had only one
eye, seemed to walk straight
through him without knowing it.
Mrs. Cartwright always believ
ed that these dreams “meant
something,” but her husband
laughed at the matter.
“Poor Roger is no nobleman’s
child,” he used to say. “No
doubt bis mother drowned herself
the night she left him here, poor
soul!”
So the boy’s sixteenth birthday
came, and on it he dreamed this
dream :—
He .thought he was iu London,
and stood before a row of rough
stone houses, which were plainly
very old. Across the front were
some raised letters, quaint and
queer enough to puzzle him; but
he made out the words, “Lady
Armytage.” Before him was one
of the low doors with the number
ten on it, and at it stood an old
woman with a black silk cap on
her head, and a little black shawl
over the shoulders of her purple
calico gown.
She held something in her hand,
and showed it to him. It was a
piece of a silver buckle.
“Bring me the other half,” she
said, “and I’ll tell you a tale that
will please you.”
Then the lad awoke determined
to go to London. He was so ex
cited by the dream that he could
scarcely wait until morning to tell
it to his mistress, who, on hear
ing it, at once brought out the sil
ver half-buckle that she had kept
ever since he had been left at her
door, and vowed that she would
go to London with him to see
what came of this strange dream.
Together the woman and bow
made the journey, and, after ma
lodged in these buildings—the
funds for the purpose having been
bequeathed by a certain pious
Lady Armytage, long dead.
To this row of buildings the
two country folks made their way,
and the boy cried out with some
thing very iike terror when he saw
the houses of his dream, aud on
one low door the number ten,
that he had read in those very
white letters. He knocked at it
with a trembling band, and an old
woman in a black silk cap, purple
gown, and a little black shawl
opened it at once.
She made a courtesy, and said:—
“What can I do for you, rna’-
hall street crossing.
A Kentucky editor reports that
during the past five years he has
recorded 1,340 murders and hom
icides in that State, and there
have been less than 20 executions.
Gov. Cameron, of Virginia, and
staff, passed through Atlanta
Sunday on their way to New Or
leans.
Gen. Cox, of North Carolina,
who led the last Confederate
charge at Appomattox, bears the
scars of 11 serious wounds.
Malarial Poison.
And the boy staggered back
against the door-post, too faint
to speak; but Mrs. Cartwright
walked bravely into the poor lit
tle apartment.
‘Dame,” she said, “we’ve come
a long way to ask you a little
question, have you the other
half of a bit of buckle like this ?”
The old woman looked at her a
moment and answered:—
‘I have, ma’am, and a parcel
too; for one that shows it to me.
Sit down, and I’ll tell you about
it.”
Mrs. Cartwright seated herself;
the boy drew near. The old
woman went to a chest, which
stood in a recess, unlocked it, and
took thence a parcel, well tied up.
‘There’s two of us in this home
always, ma’am,” she said. “The
last one died here. She was an
old nurse-woman: Hannah Glegg
she called herself, and in her last
illness she was greatly put about
by something that was on her
conscience. Before she died she
gave me a card; with a name and
i place on it, and this parcel.
When I’m dead’ she said, ‘not
before, write to that place, and
say, If you want the other half of
that buckle, come to me. When
any one comes, if they show the
half of a silver buckle, give them
this parcel.’
“It’s all she said, ma’am. She
died very soon. Of course I was
upset, and wheu all was over, I
found that though I had the par
cel safe, I had not the card; that
was gone. I’ve been thinking to
go to the clergyman, and sh(*v
the parcel to him, for it’s full of
writing, aud there’s a bit of a
buckle in it, too. But it seems
some one must have told you
about it. I think it’s yours by
right, and I should give it over.
The farmer’s wife was wise
enough to keep her own counsel.
She gave a gift to the old woman
that made her feel herself paid
for any trouble she had had, and
took the parcel away with her.
At the hotel where they stopped
for the night two anxious travel
ers read the paper it contained.
It was to this effect:—
‘I, Martha Gray, who have been
living iu the city of London for
ten years or more, under the name
of Hannah Glegg,. do hereby
swear and affirm that sixteen
years ago being then employed as
nurse for my Lady Marlowe of
Marlowe Hall, shire, I was
desirous of punishing Lord Mar
lowe for trifling with the affec
tions of my niece, Kate Gray,
who died, as I know, of a broken
heart because of liis lordship’s
fickleness—for he had no mind to
marry a poor, ignorant girl, but
only to make love to her; and be
ing nurse to Lady Marlowe, I
contrived to steal the child and
leave the place with it unseen;
and taking a boat, I rowed with
my own hands, stopped near the
house of one Robin Cartwright,
farmer, and laid the child at his
door, and then departed as I
came, knowing well that it would
be believed that the mother who
had left her child had drowned
herself. Since this I have chang
ed my name, and lived unsuspect
ed ; but, being in dread of death,
I now make, confession, lest I be
punished for the deed in the
world to which I am going. The
half of the buckle which is in this
parcel will mate that which I
hung about the child s neck, and
my lady Marlowe will know it
well, since it’s a family heirloom.
“This statement I swear is true;
I make it on my death-bed.
“Martha Gray.
The drouth in Southwest Georgia last
s-pring dried up the wells, aDd we were
compelled to use water from the creek on
the plantation. The result was that ail
were troubled with chills amt fever. I car
ried with me several bottles of Swift’s
Specific, and as long as I took it, I had
perfect health, As soon as I ceased taking
it, I, like the rest, was afflicted with chills.
When I resumed its use, I was all right
again. We have used It in our family as
an antidote for malaria poison fur two or
three years, and have never known it to
fail tn a single instance. W. C. F’URLOW.

A Cripple Restored.
Some two years ago I received a boy
(Lona White) Into the Orphan’s Homo, near
Macon, from Columbus. He was one of
the poorest creatures I : have’ ever seen—
nothing but skin and bone— crippled and
deformed by Scrofula, which had attend-
ed him from Ills birth. About eighteen
months ago I commenced giving him
Swift’s Specific. After several bottles had
been taken and no visible results to be
seen, I began to despair, but continued the
medicine. At last signs of improvement
became apparent, and from that date to
the prosent there has been constant im
provement in both body'and mind. He is
now about fourteen years old, and Is one
of the brightest boys I have ever known.
I honestly believe that he will ultimately
outgrow the effects of this loathsome dis
ease under th - influence of Swift's Specific.
The two cases ot erysipelas which were
treated some two years ago with S. S. S.
show no symptoms of return of the dis
ease. L. B. Payne

Of course the poor boy, who
had been led so far by this strange
dream, lost no time in going to
thire, still cared for by good
Mrs. Cartwright.
They found Marlowe Hail eas
ily, and on entering it the boy s
visions again came into the storj,
for the one-eyed footman opened
the door for them. All was famil
iar to the young fellow. The stair
way, the passages, the yellow satin
drawing-room—he had seen them
all in his dream.
And this, in fact, was actually
the case, the griaf which the Mar-
lowes had suffered for years on
account of the strange disappear
ance of their child being well
known by all the country. The
letter and clasp proved his identi
ty, and the servant boy became
the heir to a fortune and a title,
and found parental love and ten
derness at last. The story was
not universally known, but it is
carefully recorded in the private
diary of Dennis Archer, then vi
car of Marlowe Church, who avers
his belief in its truth.
