Crant'e Respite.
Tbe public has been much gratified
during the last week at the apparent
convalescence of General Grant. At
the very moment the country awaited
in suspense for an announcement of
bis death, a sudden change for the
better took place and the announce
ment was made that he would surely
recover.
There have not been wanting those
who firmly believed in the
darkest hour that General
Grant was represented to be much
worse ofl than be really was; that when
tfie proper time esme be would rally
and recover. These have hailed the
announcement of his present condition
as a fulfillment of a shrewd prophecy.
Be this as it may, there is little doubt
but that the public to-day very largely
shares in the belief that the old sol
dier will completely recover health.
The medical fraternity does not be
lieve in this recovery. Cancer or epi
thelioma is a disease that lias alwai s
baffled medical skill. It is a deceptive
malady, appearing and disappea'ing,
but ever returning. The present belief
among the well informed is that Grant
(a now passing through a temporary
lapse of his malady; that it will return
with renewed vigor and accomplish its
work.
One of General Grant’s physicians,
in an interview with a Herald reporter,
Saturday night said:
'‘General Grant has epithelioma, or else doc
tors have been working In the dark eighteen
centnrfea. That Is the only foundation on
which any other conclusion can be arrived at
Seven phjslcians, eminent In their profession,
two of them leading experts in cancers, have
diagnosed the case, and there Is not one of
them who will not rlik his reputation that
General Grant is afflicted with epithelioma. If
he recovers it will be the flist case of epithel
ioma ever cared, and as such will go on record
la the medical world. There can bo no mistake
In the dlagoosla; the microscope makes no
errors. Besides this, every one who has made
• diagnosis haa announced hla conclusion in
stantly and without hesitation. Professor
Satterthwaite, of the Post Graduate
College, spent two dayi in making
microscopical examinations of the cell
uesta, and said there was not tho slightest
doubt as to the disease. Then, again, the cut-
that were published In the Herald could be
read by physicians, and they could tell wheth
they Indicated cancer or not I esn state
positively that not one protest has yet been re
ceived against the doctor*’ decisions. It may
bethatweareonihe eve of a discovery in
medical science In regsrd to esneera. These
gentlemen have sailed by the chart from the
out. They have never disagreed as to the
course to pursue, and if they reach a port into
which no others have ever entered they must
be recognised as the pioneers in a movement
for the core of cancer. There Is about one
chance in ono thonsand of their doing this
and that la a high estimate of the possibility.
My own belief is that they are not trying to
cure, but to relieve him. General Grant la too
big a man to make experiments with In
tbe disease that haa baffled the world
for years. 1 think they have done
better than they expected In keeping him
[re nail! ser. There !« a fair rwwslbllltv
that Gen. Grant will live through the r* • «mer.
Hit physicians think they have reason to know
that he will die within two months-that is,
tbe cancer wll’ prove fatal In that time. No
one looked for ita final development sooner
Gen. Grant may get well enough to walk on
tbe street, but he is liable to die at any mo
ment from the sadden growth ot the disease/'
Do you look for another reverse of his die-
within a fortnight?” askod the reporter
I do. Tbe physicians would not contlnne
duty at tbe house If they did not share this
opinion with a* I have noticed *hat General
Grant's four serious attacks came unexpected
ly and without warning. >Vhat teason la there
suppoee that tbs next will not come In the
same manner?”

Naval Strength.
The threatening attitude of the great
powers of the world and tho evident
likelihood that if a collision occurs the
ocean will witnesfl many a aangulnary
strife between aimed vessels, has led
the World to prepare a statement
showing the naval strength of some of
the leading nations:
The British navy to-day contains soma of
the most formidable war vessels of modern
times. In its list of armored sblpe are twelve
turret iblps of tbe first clast. Somo of these
carrv four eighty-ton guns, while the others
are armed with guns ranging from thirty-five
to forty tons. Of the broadside ships of the
first class there are twelve carrying guns
ranging irom sis and a na t to twenty-nva
tons. Of the armor-belted class there are five
carrying guns ranging from twelve to twenty-
five tons. Of the coast-defen lera there are
fifteen carrying eighteen-ton and lighter guns.
Two of these are Arabs. Of the Iron broad
side ships of the old type there are tan carry
ing twelve-ton guns. There are two of the
wooden broadside sblpe. The second and
more important branch of the navy is made
up of tbe unaimored shfpe, tbe Iron and
steel vessels of the service. In this neither*
are three Iron frigates, six Iron corvettes, two
steel dDpatch vessels, nine steel and Iron cor
vettes, six composite corvettes, fourteen com
posite sloops of tbe first class, six of the
second class, six composite gun vessels of the
Arab class, four ot the Swift class, twenty-one
of the Thistle class. In addition to all this
tbeBtltUh navy bas sixty six gunboats of
superior make, carrying sixty-four, eighteen
and twelve-ton guns.
The list of the French navy Is nearly at for
mldable. In Ita armored ships there are ten
sea-going ships of tbe first class, nine of tbe
second class, seven coast defenders of the first
clasr, three of the second class, five of the
third class. Ot the shlpa of old type of tbe
first class there are sixteen. Of tbe
class there are eight. Among Ita unarmored
shlpa France baa four Iron frigates, ten atael
corvettes of tne first class, five of the second
dasa and six of the third class, nine gun dis
patch vesaela. eight transport vessels, and six
vessels of the Crocodile type.
The unarmored vessels of modern naval
architecture are tbe vessels which will do tbe
principal fighting In the future. We have at
present not one The Dolphin, which haa not
yet been accepted is the first vessel which
makea any pretense of taking rank among
veaaelt of this class. Yet It has not In ita first
trial reached a maximum of speed which en
titles It to be considered a vessel ot the first
class. According to the highest of naval an
tboritle*. no cruisers of this class are cousld
ered sufficient whose capacity for speed la less
than fifteen knots under all circumstances.
Of tbe unarmed cruisers having
speed of fifteen knots, an hour and up
wards, Germany bas seven, England
thirteen, Chili one, China three, Franco
fourteen, Holland four, Italy twelve,
Japan one, and Russia two (in process
of construction.) As stated, the Dol
phin, not yet accepted, is the only one
this country can boast of. Vermels of
lower speed are very numerous in all
the countries natnfd,
In the last ninety-one years, the
United States eipended upon ita
Russia.
All eyes are turned toward England
and Russia. It is momentarily ex
pected that the gun which is to open
hostilities between these two great na
tions and shake Kurope to tho founda
tions will be fired. With England, her
history, statesman, people and re
sources the public is familiar. Russia
is practically a sealed book and few
people,comparatively, have any idea of
what lies beyond her Europeafi fron
tier. Her vast plains, her
mighty mountains, her broad
and extensive rivers, her
mixed and mysterious people,
her arms and lier defenders are subjects
seldom met with in the current litera
ture and press of the day. What is the
strength and what are the resources of
the people witli whom England, if the
conflict is precipitated, must contend?
These arc the questions of the hour.
Russia extends from the 18th to the
100th degree east latitude, a distd^p
of 10,320 miles; and from the 78th to
the 39th degree of north latitude, a dis
tance of 2,250 miles. These are
the extreme limits. Tooke estimates
Russia proper to he 9,200 miles
wide and 2,200 miles broad arid that it
embraces from six to eight millions
square miles oi territory. The empire
is, therefore, three or four times larger
than the Roman in it- prime, as large
as Europe doubled, and equal in extent
to the whole of North America. II
covers 1-27 of the earth, and_l-7 of the
terrestial surface,
Russia embraces the Baltic Provinces,
Great Russia, Little Russia, Western
Russia, Southern Russia, Caucassian
Provinces, Astrakhan Provinces, Ka
aan Provinces and Siberian Prov
inces. About a hundred years since
for convenience Catherine II divided
Russia into three great regions, tboso
of the north, middle and south, and
into fifty governments, which have
since been increased to more than
sixty. These governments embrace,
tor the most part, distinctive people,
Some of them are held by a mere thread
of allegiance, somo by force, some by
pay and some by concessions that leave
them practically tree. Swedes, Ger
mans, Poles, Cossacks, Asiatics—
Russians they all are now, but
having few cohesive sympathies
and different traditions. Into
other nstion is there assembled such a
mixture of blood and race upon so
flimsy a national foundation. Such is
a hare outline of Ruseit with its seven
ty odd millions of inhabitants. It is a
human mosaic hounded in by a royal
Sowell that is alter all strongest be
cause it is custom.
Tbe fleet centre of Russia is the
Gulf of Finland, near St. Petersburg,
into which enters the Neva. This
river is connected by canals with the
great Volga which flows southward into
the Caspian Sea. The Duna river,
which enters into tho Baltic not far
from the Gulf of Finland, is connected
by a canal with tho Dnieper, which
empties into the Black 8ea. Tims is
tho Baltic brought into communication
ith the coasts of Turkey snd Asia
Minor on the Black, and with Persia
and the Kurdistan country on the Cas
pian Sea. These canals mark the pro
gress ot the grand dream that haa
troubled the sleep of Russian
Mr. Cleveland Decline..
As politely as possible Mr. Cleve
land has declined to he paraded around
Atlanta. The visiting statesmen have
received considerable cheap advertis
ing ior themselves and their scheme,
and ehould be, and no doubt, are very
proud, individually and collectively.
There was no reason why Mr. Cleve
land should go to Atlanta, and many
very forcible ones why he should not.
The Charleston News and Courier
very justly observes: ‘‘Strictly speak
ing, there are far more reasons why he
should cqjne here than why he should
visit Atlanta.” The same may be tru
ly said of Baltimore, Savannah, Au
gusta, Chicago and other cities that
desire Mr. Cleveland to make them a
visit.
The people who elected Mr. Cleve
land expect him to Btay in Washington
City and to attend to the public busi
ness, which he confesses is so great
that he has not had time to address his
attention to many of its most pressing
details. His cabinet officers are all
overworked, and in tho various depart
ments more working hours are demand
ed of the employes, a portion of tho
night being nsed in the Post-office De
partment. All over the country mur
murs of discontent are heard at the de
lay in inaugurating promised and need
ed reform. There will be an outbreak
if under such circumstances Mr. Cleve
land should leave his dutieB to furnish
holiday to a small section of the
Georgia “clans of the valley.”
Mr. Cleveland has complained that
he has not time to visit Mt. Vernon,
the resting place of Washington. He
haB declined to meet the grand army
of the Potomac at Baltimore, for lock of
leisure.
He has declined to participate in the
memorial services of Abraham Lincoln,
giving os an excuse the pressure of
public business.
The country would entertain, very
properly, a doubt as to Mr. Cleveland's
candor and competency if after this he
should go jnnketing about the country.
If Mr. Cleveland had nothing what
ever to engage hia attention, it would
be foolish if not criminal in him to be
come an attendant on a sort of mass
meeting to discuss the foreign treaties,
silver coinage and kindred subjects of
such heft os to tax the powers of train
ed and experienced statesmen. Public
business will increase rather than di
minish by tho 10th of May, and think
ing people will consider that the most
patriotic duty” the President of tho
United States and hi< cabinet can per
form is to stay ai the neat of govern
ment and give it prompt and intelligent
attention.

Cotton Statement.
The Chronicle's cotton article of April
17th furnishes the following facts rela
tive to the movement of the crop for the
past week:
For the week ending this evening
(April 17), the total receipts have reached
723 bales, against 21,8(8 bales last week,
111 bales the previous week and 28,810
bales three weeks since; making the total
receipts since the at of September, 1881,
4,624,818 bales, against 4,072,313 bales for
the same period n( 1883-84, ehowlnga de
crease since September 1,1884, of 47,525
bales,
The receipts at all the Interior towns for
the week have been 10,470 bales, since
September 1st, 2,648,440 bales. The re
ceipts at the same towns have been 17,274
bales less than the same week last year,
and since September let, the receipts at
the towns are 20i,392 bales less than
for the same time in 1883.
Among the interior towns, Macon !■
credited with 5 bales for tbe week and
with 48,207 for the season. Last year the
receipts for tbe week were 00, and for the
season 58,825 bales. These figures show
increase for the week,as compared with
that period, of 5 bales, and a falling ofl
for the season of 11,616 bales.
The total receipts from the plantations
alnce September 1, 1884, were 4,725,426
bales; In 1883-84 were 4,722,147 bales; in
1882-83 were 5,749,209 bales.
Although the total receipts at the out
puts the past week were 23,723 bales, the
actual movement from plantations was
12,010 bales, the balance being taken from
stocks at the interior towns. Last year the
receipts from the plantations for tbe same
week were 19,106 bales, and for 1883 they
were 40,095 bales.
The receipt# since September 1 up to to
night are 45,380 bales less than they
were at the same day of the month in 1884
and 892,630 bales less than they were to
the same day of the month in 1883.
The exports of cotton from the United
8tate» the past week, as per latest mall re
turns, have leached 56,413 bales. So far
the Southern ports are concerned, these
are the same exports reported by tele
graph, and published in the Chronicle last
Friday.
The Chronicle bas the following to say
the market fluctuations for the week
under review:
I think It woul 1 occur to the South above all
sections of the Union that nothing could he

assert itself as to what has the North
to do or say about the appointment

less a fact, that there conld not

The speculation In cotton lor future delivery
at this market haa continued moderately ac
tive for the week under review, but with an
unsettled tone and at prices showing wide va
rlatlous. The affairs of Great Britain and
Russia, tho dauger of war or the prospect of
peace between these two great powers, have
continued to be the hading Influence, all oth
ers being for the moment more or less In abey
ance. The ahott tlmo or stoppage of New Eng
land cotton mills, and the late planting sea
son, were little considered. On 8aturday there
was a decline and on Monday a semi-panic, A
partial recovery on Tuesday was due wholly
to a demand to cover contracts, quite natural
alter so sharp a decline as had taken place,
Independent of all other considerations. A
partial advance on Wednesday was followed
by a sharp decline, from the fact that the bulla
had overloaded themselves. Yesterday, upon
the mot* peaceful aspect ot tho foreign ad
vices, there was a buoyant market, with con
siderable activity, and some recovery of confi
dence among the bnll party. There wag an
early advance, bnt the speculation waa dull,

Tree Planting.
The “Arbor Day” of Pennsylvania
is a feature in the list of annual cele
brations that might profitably be cop
ied and adopted by Georgia. Upon
Arbor Day, recently celebrated, the
people ol towns and villages, notably
the children of public schools, met and
with appropriate and interesting exer
cises, planted trees, in yards, about
school houses, in the streets, in fields,
and along the public highways.
If it is tree tbst be who makes
two blades of grass grow where bnt
one had grown is a public benefactor,
how shall we describe those who guar
antee to posterity shade and tiesuty
upon places where heat and barren
ness have reigned; who psy back to
the landscape in part, tbe growth re
moved to satisfy the demands of life?
Tbe cities and villages of Georgia,
had tree planting been an annual prac
tice twenty yean ago, would to-day be
enjoying beauty and comfort. If ws
may not riaenp and call onr prede
cessors blessed tor tbeir forethought,
we may at least give posterity cause to
