The recent sale of Georgia bonds lias attracted ettention all over the bountry, and is everywhere the subject of flattering comments on the State’s credit. The Financier, of New York, in its last issue de votes several columns to a discus sion of Georgia’s financial condi tion: The Financial’ says: The State of Georgia owns more public property than is sufficient to pay her public debt. The an filial rental of 8300,000 derived from one railroad which the state bwns (the Western and Atlantic, from Atlanta to Chattanooga), would be nearly sufficient to pay full interest bn her whole debt, funded on the basis of this $1,900,- 000 loan, and that road would sell for enough almost to pay off her entire debt, it being estimated at a value of §>8,000,000, aud 138 miles in leiigtb. Apart from this is the fact that $341,504,921 of her citizens’ prop erty is chargeable with this debt of $8,585,540. In short she owns forty dollars for every dollar that She Owes. Further, she cannot in crease her bonded debt; except to save the state from invasion, de fend it in war and to provide for casual deficiencies in her state rev enues not exceeding the limited amount of $200,000. This reference is made to the recent issue of bonds: The State of Georgia having $2,- 141,000 of bonds bearing six per cent, iuterbst; falling due January 1st, 1889, and not being in a posi tion to pay off the whole amount, desired to extend a portion by new loan at a lower rate of inter est, and by authority of an act of her legislature; approved Septem ber 5th, 1887; invited bids by pub lic advertisement for $1,900,000 of four and oue-half per cent; bonds, dated January 1st, 18s9, and ma turing iu series of $100,000 each from January 1st, 1S9Sj to 1926 inclusive. After due publication the offers were opened, aud it was found that the loan had been bid for several times over, and that the bid of the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of New York; the largest in surance company aud one of the strongest financial institutions in the world, for the whole issue of §1,900,000 at 104k was the highest and was accepted; These bonds of Georgia bear the face of Alexander H; Stephens, her greatest statesman, dead, and the sign manual of Gov. John B. Gordon, foremost iu the work of State welfare, and the impersona tion of re-union aud national res toration. No trust to faith was ever more deeply founded. No trust to faith will ever be more inviolate; The Mutual Life never made a better investment; ji; all substantial re spects it is as good as governments, which are ranging 20 per cent, higher. Georgia never negotiated her credit to better advantage. She could not have a more power ful and useful friend in all the world of finance, and one able to stand by her while her pillars of state, “Wisdom, Justice’ and Mod eration,” last. \ *-«.-« job Have your commercial station ery and other job printing for the fall business done now,- when it can be done at short notice.

A newspaper correspondent sityS: I had the pleasure of a chat With the remarkable old hero of the Mountain Meadow massacre aud of the Santa Clara massacre—I mean Capi John Tobin, who was for years a member of Brigham Young’s household. He now has a suit pending in the court at Salt Lake City, which involves the title to some of the best property in that city. “Will you give me an account of the Santa Clara massacre?” I ask ed, and he quickly replied as . fel lows: “I went to Salt Lake City in 1853 for the first time, and while there I met the charming daugh ter of Brigham Yoiing, now the well-known eldest daughter, re membered by reason of her tragic death years ago, and froth tlffi light that has since come as to the causes that led to her self-destruc tion. I became eiigaged to her, and the conditions of the marriage were announced by Brigham Young to be that I must join the Mormon Ohurcb. Not caring which church I belonged to, ahd being very anxious to marry, I consented, and all arrangements were made for our union. I was furnished with a suit cif clothes called an ‘endowment robe,’ and the saints gathered around and began a solemn song service in the Taberiiaele. I was to be au- nointed in oil. Weil, this as not so touch to me as the thing which followed, and which was the origin of the animosity which led to the Santa Clara massacre. When the oath of allegiance was lead, to which 1 was te subscribe, I found it to be nothing less than a Solemn declaration that I would aid and ab6t the enemies of the United States Government; ahd that I would never again go into the army. I positively declined to sign such an oath. There was a scene, and the wedding was indefi nitely postponed. I wad at orice notified that I must get out of the Mormon district. I had a party of brave soidihts—some twenty men —and in a few days’ we started, and when we had gone as far as the Santa Clara comity we were overtaken by a party of armed Mormdns, on horseback. They pounced down upon us with the ferocity of savages; and every man was penetrated with bullets, in cluding myself, but I was the only man not killed. I was stunned and left unconscious on the field, the Mormons thinking I was dead. When i awoke, after some hours, I made my way to some passing immigrant ritigons, and made Safe my escape into Oregon, where I took part in the Indian wars.” ‘‘What became of Alice Young? I asked. “Well,” said the veteran, “they told her I was killed in the massa cre, and she then became despond- eut, aiid after a few weeks she took arsenic and died. That was’ the end of the life of the girl whom I first loved, and I shall never for get lief gentle memory.” The deaths of Emperors William and Frederick liave cost the Princes of Thnrri and Taxis the enormous sum of $500,009, because, as feudal lords of the Prussian domain of Krotoszyn, they have ; to pay $250,- 000 on the decease cf every king of Prussia. Our Handicapped Manufacturers ; Talmage on Boys. Coiumbns Enquire!:-Sun. ; To an interviewed, Rev. D. Tal- The workingman in the United! toage recently made the following States receives, as a general rule,' commeiits in fegard to the pranks the highest wages of any worker [ young students. He thought in the world, and yet his labor Brace Up." Yon' are feeling depressed, your appetite is poor, you are bothered with headache, you are fidgety, ner vous and generally out of sorts; and want to .brace up. Brace up but not with stimulants, spring medicines, or bitters, which have' for their basis very cheap, bad whiskey; and which stimulate yon for an hour; and then leave you in a worse condition than before. What you want is an alterative that will purify vour blood, start healthy action of the kidneys and liVer; restore yo'rir Vitality,; And give reUetfe'd health and. Utrengfcb. Such a medicine yon will find in Electric Bitters; and only 50 cents costs his employer iess than the labor of any foreign workingman costs his employer. Wages are higher in low tariff England than in high tariff France or Germany, because Brit ish labor is more effective, and they are still higher in this coun try than in England because our labor is more productive than English labor. This is the only way to explain the variation in wages in the different . countries; because if the tariff were tlie prin cipal factor, wages would either be higher in England than in the United States, or lower in Eng land thaii they are in France or Germany. Consul Schoenbof lias jiist been investigating the ingrain Carpet industry in this country and in England. While higher wages are paid here, our workmen are so much more efficient than the labor cost of one yard of carpeting is only 7.92 cents per yard here as against 8.26 cents ppr yard in England. Besides this, the gene ral expenses are only 4.4 cents per yard in the United States, while they are 7.5 cents in England. Why then do we not undersell Great Britain in open market? Simply because, thenost df tlie yarn is 383-4c6ntshere,and onlj 28 3-4 ih Great Britain.jThis makes the to tal cost of carpeting per yard 51.07 cents here and only 4451 cents there. Itappears, thereforejthat our cheaper labor * and lesser general expended are more than offset by the much greater cost here of the raw materials of manufacture. Great Britain, France and Ger many all have their raw materials practically free of duty—Great Britain entirely so arid the other countries generally so. Great Britain, though paying from 50 to 100 per cent, higher wages than her continental rivals, undersells them in the markets of the world because the greater intelligence arid ability df her workmen make the labor costless and cheaper to the employer. With the raw materials of man ufacture free of duty we would have the same advantage over England that she has over France and Germany. Paying higher rVageS fori cheaper labor; because more efficient, with less general expenses and with the opportunity of buying raw materials on equal terUis With other nations, we can beat them out iti open- market and will no longer be Compelled to send wheat and cotton to' Liver pool; to buy British manufactured goods; to pay for Brazillian coffee and Cuban sugar. We can never secrire a foreign trade until we can manufacture as cheaply ah dur rivals, and that we can do arid better when the tax is lifted from the raw materials which enter into the manufacture of finished goods; Americus Republican: Country boys are not such squash-heads as they sometimes look, said a socia ble drummer at the Allen house yesterday. “One day last week I was out riding with a felloe who shamed to think it his mission to say or do Something smart every minute. Presently we overtook a barefoot urchin driving a cow home from pasture; and my conii- panion reined up the horse and spoke to hinf; saying, “Say, my little man, what time will it be at 6 o’clock this af tferrioon ?” Without a’ moment’s hesitation the lad an swered: Twill be bedtime for liens and fools. You’re not a hen, twill be your bedtime all the same.” there was no Cause for alarm; boys are doing jrist what. their fathers aud grandfathers did be fore them, and he added: As long ago as I can .remember, I was shown the place on the roof of the college building where one bright morning there Was found a load of wobd, and a mule attached to the iodd, all riaised to that bad emi nence by the sophmore class dar ing the night—some of the men engaged in the achievement were afterwards Senators of the United States and doctors of divinity. I reprehend the young men Who iri Princeton put an undertaker’s sign on an apothecary’s store, and I chicle them to be more careful, while at the same time I give it as my opinion that they sometimes have overheard the rebital in some minister’s study, or lawyer’s office, of the college pranks in Which their fathers and grandfathers participated. Boys will be boys— that is, boys tliat turn out good for anything. While I set myself against youthful mischief, as every one must, and suggest that when these young men sing at night, as far as possible they confine themselves to church tunes and l’ritird at 10 o’clock in the evening, punctually, nevertheless parents should not imagine that all is lost because their sons are sdirietimbs a little frisky, and public officials ought to be lenient in their chas tisement. These young men do not need A ceil in the penitentiary; as I have seen it hinted, but they need a private talk by some kind old many judge dr professor, or college president, who will put his spectacles upon his forehead and take the young man by the hand, and tell Him of the great possibili ties that are open before industry and'sobriety, and of the grief that his ill-behavior will bring to par ental hesrts so anxious for his welfare, Arid then say: “That is all, my soil;” But this throwing ourself back on frigid dignity and in merciless condemnation of the present, as though the past had all the virtue, and all the honor; and all the prosperity, is an assump tion hypocritical and unjustifiable. —(Selected.

Hrirst, Esq., Perry, Ga., Dear Sir:—I have watched with interest the discussion of the bagging problem, and the various plans., for avoiding its use. I don’t think the use of osnaburgs is practica ble. I believe, however that it is feasible to use burlap sacks made of 8J or 10 ounce burlaps, 40 inches wide. Six yards of this goods will make a sack that would hold 250 to 300 pounds of , cotton: This cotton could be sold to the iriiils at 8 per cent, to 4 per cent, above the market price for cotton in bagging and ties. In this way a farmer could buy a dozen burlap sacks and pack His cotton in them, and send to the nearest cotton mill, selling it at net Weight At an advance of \ to § of a dent per pound. The mill could empty the sacks and return them for another lot of cotton. I am willing to contract for ten to twenty thousand pounds of cot ton per day, as soon as it iri dry enough to work, to be delivered to our mills in this shape. I am confident the mills of Atlanta, Augusta, Coltiiiibus and other points would do the sariie. If so, it would reduce the demand in Georgia for bagging bytlie amount required to cover the cotton con sumed by our mills. What is true of Georgia woiild. apply to other States, and would be felt in the demand for bagging. Cotton packed for home use might be put up in burlaps in stead of bagging and bound With ties. It would not bear shipment, however, as the. port requirements, as well as the United; Stateri laws, Would subject it to heavy discounts. The former is certain, the latter probable; Neither would it sell for as mrich itri .riet Weight cotton, because the mill would lose money on the burlaps and ties. I ana confident that this plan will work iri communities sur- ixiundirig Aottblijicills, any season. It certainly would affect the de mand for bagging this year and by so much reduce the chances of success on the part of the combin ation which is advaricirig prices beyond reason and justice; when compared with former years: I take the liberty of replying to your letter of 10th throrigth the Telegraph,hoping to give prompter and wider circulation to the sug gestions above. Yours truly, J. F t Hanson, Agent. ; *—: — —; — ^ ... A singular case has been puz zling the Philadelphia lawyers.
