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.” W. 11. F. 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.
