l'rm>rHJ tress, buol
lied from the yurd
U. PRINGLE-
find that thoy gave the Clerk of the
Houso and the Secretary of the Sen
ate five hundred dollars end), in ad
dition to tho salary allowed by law,
that is a thousand dollars each, to
four clerks of tho Senate and House
seven hundred nnd fifty dollars each,
to the constitutional clerks eight dol
lars a day, nnd authorized clerks sev
en dollars a day. It does not ap
pear how many of thoso authorized
dorks were employed—not less than
fifty or sixty in both houses, and I
understand that they wore paid by a
resolution of tho legislature for the
whole term of tho session, without
any rcforenco to the time they were
actual]v employed. This is econo
my with a vengeance, to pay a man
for forty days work who \YoVked on
ly ten days. They paid the door-keep
ers and messengers eight dollars per
day, and their assistants seven dol
lars, nnd even paid two laborers
whom they graciously culled por
ters, four dollars a tlay each; and
for what? for sweeping nnd denn
ing the galleries of tho two houses,
and they paid three dollars a day
during tho session to three or four
little hoys called pages, who were
waiters on the members during tho
session of the two houses. These
mges are an innovation on ostah-
islied usngo, and there is no neces
sity for them.
There is another curious item
which I find in the appropriation
hill of tho last session. Hero it is;
“For repairs of the public buildings
in Millodgovillo—the State House
nnd Governor's mnnsion in Atlanta,
for coal, wood, gas, insurance, the
hire of servants, und purchase of
furniture, etc., twelve thousand dol
lars, to he expended under tho di
rections of the Governor.” What a
gusli of liberality is hero displayed
by the representatives of tho people
at the expeuso of tho people. The
Governor receives a salary of four
thousand dollars a year, and is fur
nished with a Mansion to live in,
and to a man of plain habits, it
would seem that upon that sum he
could manage to support tho res
pectability and maintain the digni
ty of his office, and live pretty com
fortably, and I have no idea that
our excellent Governor expected any
more. But the members of the leg
islature having been so liberal with
themselves, in tho exuberance of
tliur liberality, generously gave to
the Governor the money to buy his
coal, wood, gas, and for the liiro of
servants, and to buy furniture, aud
the wonder is, that they did not in
clude his family supplies, his wines,
his wardrobe, and a turn-out which
would eclipse any thing seen on the
sheets of Atlanta. The salary of
the Governor is ample, and ho should
live out of it without any additional
expense to tho people. I road in
your paper some time ago, that the
Governor of Tenueseo received a
salary of three thousand dollars, and
had hut one clerk, and was not fur
nished with a house to live in. Thi
is very close living, I admit, for i
Governor, hut in these hard times'
when there is so much pecuniary
distress in the country, it is proper
that our Governor should set an ex-
ample of frugality and economy, aud
avoid everything like ostentation or
display at the expense of tho peo
ple.
I find that looking at the appro
priation hill, that six thousand six
hundred dollars, or so much as may
ho necessary, was appropriated to
pay the expenses of the clerical
force in th executive department
This is a largo sum, and does not
include tho expenses of treasury de
partment, nor that of tho Secretary
of State, or any other department
except that of tho Governor. For
all other departments, including
those ornamental appendages of tho
government—the agricultural and
geological bureaus—liberal appro
priations were made, besides a
printing fund of fifteen thousand
i illars, and another contingent fund
I twenty thousand dollars.
L’lie question for the people to
■Reide is, whether the government
"f tho State cannot he run on a
more economical schedule, and
MRS MUL0CH-CRAIK.
Interesting Sketch of a Popular En
glisli Authoress.
Those wlioadmiro “Joliu Halifax
and its companion novels, will he
interested in knowing that their au
thoress 1ms quite a romantic history
of her own. Slio was horn at Stoko-
upon-Tront, Staffordshire, in the
year 182f>, and was engaged to be
married in her youth to a gentleman
whose business made it necssary for
him to leavo England. On his re
turn from tho voyage tlioy were to
he united. All promised well, and
when nows came that the ship was
returning in safety, with joyful heart
Miss Mulocli ami her mother went
to tho wharf to welcome, as in “AIv
Mother and I,” the successful mer
chant, Tho vessel oamo into sight,
aud on the deck stood the young
man, who appeared overjoyed to see
awaiting him the beloved of hi*
heart.. They* exchanged greetings,
and mingled with the crowd, ho hur
ried to be the first to laud—but as
ho was ou the plank his foot slipped
and lie fell into the water aud was
drowned before her very eves. For
a long time Miss Mulooh could not
occupy herself with anything, but at
last her friends iuducetl her to write
for consolatiou in her great sorrow,
and she sent out “John Halifax,"
which established her reputation
and absorbed her thoughts. Time
passed on, but she never swerved in
her allegiance to her drowned love;
but after years lmd elapsed there
was a terrible railroad accident in
her neighborhood, and she was active
in ministering to tho \\onnded, and
one young man was brought to her
house, aud for months she nursed
him and ho recovered, but lost one
of bis limbs and ulso his heart to his
kind friend. All his entreaties nnulo
no impiession, as Miss Mulooh said
hIio should never marry; but he
replied that if he waited ton years
she should ho his wife, so with the
characteristic firmness of a woman,
after a year, she, in 18(55, became
Mrs George Lillie Craik, and a hap
py wife she is, although twenty years
older than her husband. The bles-
sing of children is denied them, but
Providence gave them ample satis
faction for that regret.
One morning Mrs. Craik was
walking out and found a little baby
lying on tho roadside forsaken by
its mother. A basket of linen was
beside it, which indicated that it
was not of poor parentage. .She
stopped to look at it, and then be
gan to long to linvo it for her own.
She ran home to hor husband aud
told him, and made him, though re
luctantly, accompany her hack, and
where it still lay smiling and crow
ing—and his heart was touched by
tho helpless littlo child, and ho was
as eager as his wife to take it. As
foundling Imhies are not generally
the most coveted of possessions,
there was no opposition to their
wishes, aud they carried the wee
daughter homo and christened her
Theodora. Mrs. Craik is devoted
to her and no party of pleasure is
so delightful that she does not see
her treasure safe in bed after say
ing her prayers before she goes, and
she soerns to think that in the
crowd that surrounded tho little
stranger the mother was looking to
see who would take her little one.
Mrs. Craik still preserves a quaint,
old-fashioned dress, with its body
gathered at the shoulders to a point
at the waist. When asked to sing
she complies readily, and gives an
old time ballad with a simple accom
paniment. In 18G4 the Queen be
stowed on the gifted authoress

Babylon; (4) the Temple of Diana at
Ephesus; (6) tho Statue of Zeus at
Olympia; (6; the Mausoleum at

A Cure for Nightmare.
A Chinese physician says that iu
a ense of nightmare, instead of rude
ly awakening the sleeper by bring-
In 8 in a light, you should “bite his
too. Ibis is a very simple reme
dy—ut least Mrs. Poppleton thought
so, for she treasured the recipe up
in one of the chambers of her mem
ory, and tho other night, when Pop
pleton was seized with a two-horse
lower nightmare, seventeen bauds
ugh, and in a muffled and ghostly
voico muttered "Owhowho! Uguhug-
hnglmnu!” ns if a circus elephant
was performing tricks on his stom
ach, she quickly slid to the foot of
Uio bed, and was in the net of seiz
ing his big toe in her teeth, when
the dreamer gave a vigorous kick and
Mrs. Poppleton wns shot over the
footboard of the hed on to the floor,
with four teeth half-way down her
throat. The noiso awukened Popple-
ton, and hearing his wife screaming
at 1 “to of forty knots an hour, he
thought no less than 10,0u0 masked
burglars were in tho room, and
without striking a light, he seized a
chair und wildly struck right and
loft all over the room, nearly brain
ing Mrs. Popplelon before he dis
covered the true situation of affairs.
It was a terrible mistake, and Mrs.
Poppleton was laid un two weeks
ami fivo days, aud the first thing she
did when she recovered sufficient
strength, was to smash 8170 worth of
Chinese curiosities she had purchas
ed at the Centennial, and she says if
she were a man sho would go to
China, and not return home until
she had split open that physician

Boys and Misspent Evenings.
