Oru thanks are due to Mrs. E. R.Ten
nent, of Marietta, Ga., for a handsome
copy of her new cook book. Any per
son who would like to examine it can
see it at. the Cot 'rant olliee. It fills a
want that has long been unsupplied, ft
is intended for our latitude exactly. It
furnishes recipes that our housekeepers
can use every day. We hope our ladies
will look at the book, as it is a Southern
enterprise and is a book that does credit
to the author and to Georgia.
a no can experience.
Some days ago a friend from an ad
joining county called to subscribe for
the Corkan' i, and he told his experience
in the revenue business, or rather his
tangle with the the “tangle foot” bev
erage.
Something more than a year ago a
travelling peddler called at his house,
and among other things peddled, was
some corn whisky. Our friend bought a
pint, not knowing there was a penalty
for such dealings. Soon he was arrested
for the crime, carried to Atlanta and
kept in prison forty-seven days before he
got a trial. What with counsel fees, and
other leaks, his purse suffered to the
tune of two hundred and sixty dollars
before lie got clear of the clutches of the
law. It transpired that the aforesaid
peddler was going about to catch up
enough oflemlers to till his own pocket,
as an informer and prosecutor.
One pint of whisky cost our poor friend
two hundred and sixty dollars, forty
seven days in prison, and untold misery
and suffering. He wanted to know
whether tliis was a free country. Is it?
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S RECENT
A PPOINTMENTS.
President Cleveland continues to make
good appoint meets. Some of his selec
tions for office are excellent. Mr. At
kins, as Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
is the very best that could have been
made, lie is honest and familiar with
all tin' previous wrongs of that most cor
rupt Bureau of the Interior Department.
Mr. Durham, as the Comptroller of the
Treasury, is a splendid appointment. He
was called some years ago “Kentucky
Shorthorn,” and, indeed, lie is a splendid
specimen of the blue grass regions of
that State—so different from some other
specimens ve have seen on exhibition
from that far famed State. Mr. Phelps
goes to England. The country knows
nothing of Mr. Phelps, and this is laying
President Cleveland could have done bet
ter. Mr. Pendleton goes to Berlin.
There he will have an opportunity to
test the merits of his civil service reform
measure upon tiie American hog—the
hog must not go without a reason. We
hope Pendleton and Bismarck w ill have
a tussle on this hog question and w e wisli
it understood w e are on the side of the
American hog. We hope the minister to
Berlin w ill not again he involved in anv
complications w ith the Belknaps or rail
road jobs.
Mr. McLane, of Maryland, goes as
Minister to France. He is a clever and
honest man. He was born under a lucky
star, for lie has been wonderfully suc
cessful in obtaining office. He is not a
brilliant man, but has that special quali
fication for a diplomat of talking long
and vehemently without committing
himself.
The truth is, in these appointments to
Ejigland, France and Germany, Presi
dent Cleveland has not reached that high
standard ot excellence the country ex
pected. The Democratic party can do
better than this. They are, however,
very good men.
Gen. Henry R. Jackson, as Miniter to
Mexico, is the right man in the right
place. Tills wo think, is one of the best
appointments yet made. We know of
no man in the United States w ho can fill
important position with more credit
to himself or with more benefit to his
country. While we hope he will, in his
official acts, avoid all entangling al
liances with that country, yet the fact i
should be remembered that it is accord- j
ing to the “fitness of things,” that it i? !
destiny for Mexico, sooner or later, to
come lovingly under the “stars and
stripes.”
Mr. Henry 1.. Muldrow, of Missis
sippi, has been appointed Assistant Sec
retary of t'.e Interior. This is another
good selection; no better man in office;
honest and faithful. It seems to us the
South is furnishing men to Cleveland’s
administration, who arc greatly superior
in every pr denial to those supplied by
the Nortln in States.
One gieat difficulty with President
Cleveland will tie in making appoint
ments to positions in the States.
These should he made upon individual
merit and not for any influences brought
to bear by politicians or outside parties.
We hope our reform President w ill con
tinue to reform and improve the offiee
holduig crowd.
GEORGIA BONDS.
We would direct the attention of our
readers to the new Georgia bonds, as ad
vertised by Governor McDaniel in anoth
er column of this paper. It will be a
long time before the citizens, of this
State have another such opportunity to
make an absolutely safe and profitable
investment as these State bonds offer.
We .-j e.ik intelligently when we a=sert
that among her own citizens —those who
know' best what the pledged faith of
Georgia means, and her capacity and
willingness to redeem every promise she
makes—there can be no doubt her finan
cial credit is unexcelled by any State in
the Union.
If the Western and Atlantic railroad
is ever sold (which we hope and believe
the people o f Georgia will never permit),
the proceeds of that sale is, by a provis
ion of the Constitution, to be applied to
the payment of our State debt. All oth
er property that Georgia owns when
sold is applicable to the same purpose.
We think there is no doubt that the
money which the Western aiul Atlantic
road would bring into the State Treasury
if sold to-day would extinguish our en
tire State indebtedness. But to sell that
road to pay our State debt would be
“killing the goose which is yet to dis
charge” all of our indebtedness with its
“golden eggs.” Public confidence in
these bonds is also strengthened by
that valuable provision in our State Con
stitution which forbids an increase in
our public debt except in certain speci
fied contingencies, which are not likely
to occur.
Let us present our readers with an ap
proximately correct tabular statement of
Georgia’s financial condition :
LIABILITIES.
Bonded debt 18,704,635
Annual iuterest 583,121
• ASSETS.
Western and Atlantic Railroad, worth
and would sell tor $8,704,615
Annual rental of said road, worth and
would bring 600,000
Annual hire of fifteen hundred State
eon riots, worth and would bring 100,000
Now, with tiie above figures, and if
honesty could at this time annul and re
peal the acts of dishonesty, no intelligent
and impartial Georgian questions their
reasonable approximation to correctness.
Backed as these figures are by all the tax'-
able property of the State, are we not jus
tified in saying these bonds are an abso
lutely safe and desirable investment?
In five years from tiie time Gov. McDan
iel, who is managing the sale of these
bonds, as he is all our State affairs with
prudence and ability, disposes of them
they will be worth and sell for ten or
twelve per cent, premium in the money
markets of tiie United States.
Asa Georgian who desires above all
tilings the prosperity of Georgia, we
wish this entire State loan of $3,450,000
could be furnished by our own citizens.
There lias nothing occurred recently
which makes us feel more keenly our sec
tional impoverishment than the thought
that ibis splendid investment will proba
bly find a lodgement in the vaults of some
New York bank rather than in the pock
ets of our own citizens. It is true the
rate of interest is not high, but it. is safe.
In every investment, of money, securi
ty', perfect safety and certainty in re
turns, are the chief items of considera
tion with prudent men. .Extravagant
rates of interest when demanded or
given implies doubt—means risk and un
certainty. High interest is a sort of
“danger signal” which money-loaners
and money-borrowers hoist over their
transactions.
Why is if that the United States can
borrow millions of dollars at four per
cent, interest? Simply because of the
certainty that every provision and prom
ise involved in this transaction will be
complied with. Why do we wish that
our industrious citizens had the surplus
funds to invest in these five per cent.
Georgia bonds rather than tloat the earn
ings of their labor on many speculative
enterprises which promise a much larger
rate of interest? For the reason one is
safe, the other is unreliable and may
bring bankruptcy and ruin.
In France, every farmer who lias a few
surplus dollars which be does not need,
in improving and enlarging his farming
operations* invests that little surplus in
the securities of his government. The
interest, small as it may be,helps to make
him independent. lie has a little “ready
cash” always on hand to meet an emer
gency, and that which is at all times an
acceptable collateral if he desires to bor
row a small sum of money. This gov
ernment security in the pocket of the
French farmer becomes a cord of steel
which binds him and his family to the
government. For this reason, the estab
lished government of France in times of
revolution always relies upon its agricul
tural population for support and defense.
The farmers are the creditors of their
government.
How we wish the farmers of Georgia
were able to “plank down” the cash and
say to our good Governor, “Sir, we un
derstand the Legislature has authorized
and instructed you to sell certain mort
gages upon our labor to meet the debts
of the State now falling due, and we de
sire to put those mortgages upon our la
bor into our own pockefs. Here is the
money ! Give us the bonds !”
When will the farmers of Georgia be
able and willing to save money, to lav up a
little treasure fora “rainy day?” When
they cease to buy that which they should
produce on their farms? If they had all
tiie money which they have emptied into
the corn-cribs and smoke-houses of the
West, they could buy all the bonds Gov.
McDaniel has for sale. Then how inde
pendent! With the interest they could
build machine shops ot every descrip
tion, bfautify and enrich their farms, and
make our country places the most de
lightful homes on the earth.
If the bonded debt of Georgia was in
the pockets of Georgians, and the inter
est thereon was not sufficient to meet
the above specified requirements, then
with these bond? as collateral security,
they could borrow all the money they
wanted at five per cent, interest instead
of the ten, twenty, and fifty pereentum
they are now paying. With sufficient
capitul the old State would soon be cou
verted into a garden, and comfoit in
every house. We are sorry these bonds
cannot be kf>pt at home. We are sorry
our Northern cities will enjoy such a rich
feast while we are hungry. For once in
our lives we are envious of the rich.
“There are no bands in their death”—
they are not troubled like “other men.”

LIFE'S CHANGES.
Henry Ward Beecher says: “We sleep,
but the loom of life never stops, and
the pattern which was weaving when
when the sun went uown is weaving
when it conies up to-morrow.”
An incident recorded in a New York
paper received yesterday, has led us to
think long and seriously on a passage in
the Bible: “For we are but as yesterday,
and know nothing, because our days on
earth are a shadow.” We will try to re
peat the. incident as it is remembered
by us.
Two or three days ago tiie grand ocean
steamer, Baltic, from Liverpool, was ap
proaching the New York harbor late in
tiie afternoon. On deck, among those
who were watching for a sight of land,
was seen a lady, a petite figure and
youthful in appearance. Iler maid stood
by her side, her only companion in the
ocean voyage. As they watched, a swift
little steamer was seen approaching. On
its deck three young men stood, also
watching the big steamship as she plowed
the waves of the Atlantic. As they
drew near together a gleam of recogni
tion flashed over all their faces. As soon
as it was possible the young men were
on board the steamship, clasping al
ternately the little, tearful woman in
their arms. It was Fred, Ulysses and
Jesse Grant, meeting their only sis
ter, Nellie (Mrs. Sartoris), who had been
summoned from her English home to
see her father die.
The Captain of tiie Baltic aided Nellie
and Her maid on the cutter, and soon the
swift little craft had landed the group on
the New York pier.
Away up in tiie city, in the home of
the invalid, another anxious party
watched and waited. Gen. Grant, ex
hausted and suffering, refused to lie
down until he knew whether Nellie was
safe. The wife and mother was tremu
lous with anxiety for tiie child and for
tiie husband who had moaned for “Nel
lie” during so many long, sleepless nights
of weariness and pain. Both listened
for the roll of the carriage wheels. At
last they were heard, the porter flung
wide the door, and anxious little Nellie
sprang up the steps and clasped her arms
about her father’s neck.
The prying public, which finds out
everything, tells us that Nellie could not
come until the pension bill passed,
when the invalid father despatched a
draft by cable to pay her fare on the
ocean steamship.
Her own home lias not fulfilled the
early promise of happiness or prosperity,
does not find sobriety or comfort in
ever}' phase of her married life; and
there was not money enough in
either home to grant the dying father’s
wish, until Congress gave him the pen
sion—which is likely to boa hi tenure
of enjoyment for him.
In life’s “brief day,” Nellie Grant had
her gala time in early youth. No girl in
the Union had such a season of enjoy
ment, adulation and splendor, as at
tended her girlhood. Flattered, ca
ressed, honored and humored, she floated
on the crest of the wave with gayety,
honors and pleasures, scattered over her
in rich profusion.
The writer saw her directly after her
return to America, her first visit to her
parents after marriage. Mrs. Grant
gave an almost royal reception, and as
her old friends would greet her, the hap
py mother-look would flit over her face
and she would say, “Nellie is here; she
will be glad to see you.” Nellie had a
little court of her own in the rear. Her
youthful freshness was fitly attired in a
rose-colored silk costume, and her fair,
gentle face was suffused with bright
blushes of gratified pleasure.
The “loom of life” continued to weave.
The gay pattern sunk into the sombre
background. The brilliant dyes of pros
perity and power gave place to the dull
shades of adversity and decay.
Gen. Grant, entrapped into business
disasters by his overweening confidence
in his friends, found his riches taking
flight anti his health going with them.
In the long, gloomy days that followed,
while disease was sapping the very citia
deis of his life, he had time to reflect
that “we are but as yesterday, and know
nothing, because our days are as a
shadow.” He hoped to mend his bank
rupt fortunes by the money he would get
for his book, and the old soldier, unused
to the pen, trembling with eagerness to
complete the task btd'ore it was too late,
is one of the most touching pictures of
resolve and fortitude that we have ever
known.
It is said that two hundred dollars
would have covered every cent he could
command when the bank broke in which
lie and his sons had embarked their for
tunes. Mrs. Grant had sold some per
sonal property and deposited sixty thou
sand dollars in the vaults of the same
treacherous bank with which to raise a
mortgage on their home, and that went
down in tiie common vortex with all the
rest. In this strait, the illness and the
mortification, taken altogether, made the
situation appalling to the proud family
whose fame was world-wide, and whose
financial credit had hitherto been un
questioned.
In this season of doubt, disaster and
longing, how dear was tHis far-off
daughter, mayhap crowded with her
own cares, the humiliation and losses of
her parents reacting on her own home
and feelings, with tiie dread that tiie
loving father might pass away without
the tender caress of hi l petted child, and
without a glimpse of her well-remem
bered face! Shakespeare says, “Life is
a shuttle,” in and out, weaving joy at and
sadness, and to the Grant family it has
been a swift shuttle, and the gloom fol
lowed close on the gladness. But a wise
man once said, “our real blessings often
appear to us in the shape of pain-, losses
and disappointments.” Maybe the true
blessing of life to Gen. Grant was to be
evolved in this way.
THE WA r THE MONEY GOES.
Senator Van Wyck i-a blessing to this
country. He seems to have a clearer
idea of the diflerence between private
pocketbooks and the public purse than
any man in the Senate. Some Senator
proposed a committee to investigate
Alaska, which means a junketing trip all
over the Pacific coast next Summer, at j
government expensed Senator Van !
Wyck said he was not surprised, for if
there was one place that did not need a
committee, besides thejsorth pole, it was
Alaska. He then gave the history of the
committee which President Arthur sent
to Central America last year. The com
mission was appointed" on the 7th day
of January. They reported for duty in
October. The first tiling they did was to
go to San Francisco, then to New Mex
ico, and then to New Orleans to see the
Exposition. Each number was provided
with $7,500 for his expenses.
The commission consisted of two men
and a boy, for its chairman remained in
Albany. The first thing these two men
and a hoy did was tcVfcire a palace-car at
$35 a day, for \vhich*4be total payment
was $1,447 before they got to New Or
leans. Then they furnished themselves
with supplies. The Utah Commission
boldly charged for lager beer and wine.
This commission charged only for sup
plies, which doubtless included liquids
and solids. He would-ask his friends on
the Republican side If it was not time to
stop. This (the Serfcte) was all tiie par
ty had left. The Democrats had posses
sion at the ether end of tiie Capitol and
of the administration. About tiie Ist of
January tiie commission got ready to
start from New Orleans. From the Ist
of January their expenses were SG,OOO.
The men who robbed safes were compar
atively' honorable. This money was ta
ken from the pockets of tax-payers who
were hardly able tcK pay $2 a night for
lodging on Pullman ears when they'
travelled. In addition to tliis expense
they' paid for their supplies and their
cook and were allowed $7,500 a year each
besides.
The chairman ot the commission, who
never left New York, resigned on Jan.
25, and drew out of the treasxry $1,679.-
16. It cost the government about $40.-
009 for this commission before the two
men and a boy' got ready to leave New
Orleans. The reckless waste of money
was a great wrong upon the people who
paid the taxes.
Senator Van Wyck again asked, “Why
goto Alaska? Every territorial officer
of Alaska was now in Washington, and
the governor of Alaska had been in
Washington all winter.”
These things and unless
Mr. Cleveland can do something to
check this kind of waste, wliat are we to
do? Senator Vest, of Missouri, said the
commission should have hired a palace
car, to go in the style befitting the Amer
ican Government. If we remember, he
was a commissioner on just such another
expedition about a year and a half ago.
Let the facts come, hit where they' may'!
SIGNS OF A BREA K.
Tiie Boston IWt aid sees signs in tiie
political firtnamenw drh betoken a split
in the Democratic party on civil service
reform. It professes to know that
Messrs. Hendricks and Voorhees are to
lea<l the opposition to Mr. Cleveland.
Of this, we shall have to know more
to believe it, besides Indiana is not all
the universe by a “jug full.” If Messrs.
Hendricks and Voorhees do not gain re
cruits very fast to such a political faith,
the Democrats will prefer “a bird in the
hand to two in the bush.” But our ideas
on civil service reform are pretty well
understood by the Couraxt readers. If
it were possible to carry out civil service
rules in good faith it would and
of course, there wrs some power in the
land to perpetuate indefinitely Mr.
Cleveland’s attempt at reform, but to
work with the material in hand and ex
pect such Utopian results, is simply pre
posterous. The olfiees of the country
are now chock full of men who boldly
claimed reward for partisan work done
in elections. To attempt to fatten and
please these politicians by keeping the
men who worked for Mr. Cleveland out
in the cold, is to expect figs of thorns
and grapes of thistles. It will become
first a farce, next, a tragedy.
Mrs. Blaine is reported in a New
York paper as getting into a furious tem
per, at a dining given by the Austrian
Embassador, at Washington, because
President Arthur’s picture was found on
her plate as a dinner, favor. She is said
to have turned red in the face, tearing up
the offensive bit of pasteboard and stamp
ing on it in a fury. Now, it is pitiful.to
see newspaper reporters driven to such
an extremity as this. The story carries
the falsehood on its Dee. Mrs. Blaine
understands die amenities of public life
to perfection, and if she had the least dis
position to display such a streak of luna
cy, Mr. Blaine is too wise to risk a pub
lic display of it. Rake the politicians, if
nothing else will answer, but for pity’s
sake spare their wives, in such wholesale
fabrications!
Yesterday was Georgia’s day at the
New G: leans Exposition. The Governor,
his staff, and a number of Atlanta peopie
were present.
AS SHE IS SPOKE.
Indianapolis Journal, j
Anecdotes of Brignoli are still finding
their way into the newspapers. There is
one that might be added to the collec
tion, which heretofore has only had cir
culation in Indianapolis. When Brignoli
appeared here, some 'years since, with
Christine Nilsson, the great prima don
na was somewhat indisposed. Brignoli,
as is well known, never succeeded in
learning English, and his blunders in j
ttiat (to him. unconquerable tongue were i
n imeroU' and grotesque. He stepped
before the footlights to apologize for Miss
Nilsson to the audience. “Ladies ..
chentlemen,” said the great tenor - j
hope you will be easy wiz Mecs N -on
zis efening, as she ees a little li n.se.”
This was followed by a laugh on the p a tt
of the audience. In some embarrassment,
not knowing what blunder he had made,
but fearing the worst, he corrected him
self by adding: “I mean Me - Nilsson
she have a leetle colt.” The laughter
that followed fairly shook the house.
