The annual report of Mr.. An

The annual report of Mr. An
gier, State Treasurer of Georgia,
exhibits the effects of the Bullock
Blodgett rule in that Common
wealth, SO far as its finances are
concerned. The result has been
most disastrous to the property
of the State, the material inter-
ests OF the people. In beginning
of the subject, Mr.. Angler shows
that the total bonded debt of the
State, including all its issues of
bonds up to the close of 1868, a
mounted Only to $6,544,500. Since
that time, a large amount of bonds
have been issued under suspic-
ious circumstances, and five mil
lions of them sold in New York,
and the proceeds not properly
accounted for. Mr.. Angler also
shows that under Bullock's adj
ministration, the prospective in
d~ebtedness of the State has been
increased about thirty millions of
dollars more, by her endorsement
of the bonds of thirty two differ
enI railroad companies, an act
that necessarily includes her
guarantee of the annual interest,
and of the payment of the prin-
cipal at maturity "This," he
says, "added to the old bonded
inbtedness, and the new bonds
issued, will nuke something o.
ver forty millions of dollars be-
ing one fifth of the tak-returned
value of all the property in the
----State-exclueive of rail-
roads, banking express and in
rurancs companies" After the
presentation of other instances of
q like character, the Treasurer
closes by boldly denouucing the
excessively prodigaI and unscru-
pulous use of the Public funds
by Governor Bullock, whom he
charges with scattering "them
broadcast, in the hope of buying
influence, for corrupt purposes,
with a venal crowd, ever ready
to respond to his mercenary ends,

stances" <the Treasurer asks to
be excused from v%enturing on an
estimate of the expenses'for 1871

DA Is GOOT.

AS a gentleman from New York
was taking glass of wine at the st.
Louis, corner of Freeman and Hop
kins street, Cincinnati, about three
weeks ago, he observed at another ta-
BILE, seated with several others, Ger
man, who seemed uneasy and anx-
ious, as if there might have been q
Franco Prussian disagreement between
his beer and himself. Presently in
ran little girl, her face radiant with
smiles, exclaiming: ~
"Oh, father, we've gotta little poy
at home!" ata n.
dat is goot," said the Dutohman,
as the anxiety disappeared from his
countenance; "f fill up der glasses"
Not many minutes elapsed before in
rushed the little girl again with the
announcement: mrs .tf .
" Oh, father, we've got two little
poys at home!" 0ii
The Dutchman looked a great deal
astonished and not at-all gratified at
this little family redundancy, but ris-
ing at length, to the magnitude of the
occasion, he said:
"Vell, den, dat is also goot. Fill
up der glasses" sif5ag s,55h lis sC5
In a few minutes again appeared
the radiant messenger, with the as
tonishing proclamation
:" o, father, we've got three little
poys at homer 0 ,.aE "asa3t
This was too much for even Teu-
tonic impassibility. There was no
further call for glasses.
"Vell, den," says he, CT goes mp
dere, and stops der whole tam pis-
ness |" ..l-l nI- n.--.a.I Lnatnut.

FASTEST TIME MADE.


The Louisville Courier Journal ia
speaking off the recent Lexington (Ky.)
races says: The Lexington Press
gives the following account of this
exciting and unprecedented dash.-.
The first quarter was made in 2514
seconds, Fadladeen leading from the
first, and the half-miIe post passed in
4914 seconds. Then came the tug of
war and the Press tells the rest of the
story: "The leader holds his own
but Tubman leaves his rival and drives
ahead. Thus strung out they come
down the stretch at amazing speed,
Tubman accomplishing wonders and
run under the string in the same or
der in 1 :43. Fadladeen first, Tubman
second and Exchange third, the re-
mainder scattering. And no wonder
they scattered. Such time for a four
year old is the best on record. In
deed, the performance of the horses
yesterday will long be remarkable in
racing annals. Not only was the best
time ever made for one mile made
over the Lexington course, but the
second heat in the stake race on yes
terday was the best ever made by
four-year-old. Menona made the Sec
ond heat in ! :441z in 1868 and HerTog
made his second heat in Cincinnati
in :431e, but these were by three>
year-old,"

CORRESPONDENCE.
Dispensing with all preliminaries will pro-
coed once to the object of this correspondence,
viz. to give you few items pertaining to the
College as it is at present The term now in
progress commenced On the 10th of May, with
an attendance OF $50 students, this number has
been increased from time to time until at pres
ent we number 225 The general department of
the students is all that could be desired. Thus
far our peace and quiet has been undisturbed by
any summons for offending students to appear
at the Judgment bar of the Faculty, in Prof.
Clark's Recitation room. Prof Shoemaker of
Philadelphia, Pa, is at present engaged in Civ
ing course of twenty lessons in Elocutiop.
His general class numbers over one hundred
members. Besides this class there are about
ffty receiving special instruction Thus far the
Prof has proved himself an able and efficient
instructor, and a perfect gentleman, in every
way worthy the liberal patronage which he has
received.
On Saturday forenoon the last series of Senior
speeches was delivered in the College chapel,
before an audience of over two hundred. In
point of literary excellence and soundness of
sentiment, the addresses exhibited a marked
Improvements ON those delivered at any previous
time. After the exercises of the forenoon were
completed our worthy Prof. Chapman kindly
requested the members of the Senior class to
meet at his house at eight O'Clock in the erenias
for what purpose no ono knew; Everything,
however was made plain when our mathemat-
matical friend also requested that we should cat
no supper before that time. Well, eight O'Clock
came, and with it in spite of the rain came
the Seniors also, eighteen in number. At
half past eight supper was announced, and with
one accord we gathered around the bountifully
spread tables and 1 am pretty confident in say
ing that " mine host'' haG no reason, to .doubt
that we had obeyed his Injunction with refer
snce to eating no supper before coming. The
toast, g" Prof Chapman and his Lady' was pro-
posed by James McCloy' and responded to in a
few very appropriate remarks by j. R. Thomp-
son. After enjoying ourselves hugely until half
past ten, the party broke up each highly pleased
with the entertainment and everything in gem
eral.
On the afternoon OF the 10th the Salem boys
came over for the purpose of cleaning out" our
boys on q little game of base ball. and they did ..
it. That is they and the very gentlemanly um-
pire who have since learned had a bet of If
teen dollars on the Salem club. Yet would
not wish to have it generally understood that
such tribe that would be at all likely to have
had any effect on his decisions. The score stood

FALLACIEs IN BUILDING.

John Henry writes to the Scientific
Amefican that the following are falla-
cies:
To suppose that timber, growing in
the woods or floating in water to-day,
can be placed in building next week
and stay where it is put. g.e
That If such timber be used the wall
will not crack.
That the base, window castings, &C.,
made of such timber. will not part
company with the floors from one
fourth TO three-fourths of an inch in
less than a year, and that the builder
put unseasoned lumber in the latter.
That kiln dried lumber is as good
as lumber thoroughly air seasoned, or
that the atmosphere has no influence
upon it.
That joint once tight will always
remain so.
That if trimmings be put on before
plastering, or trimmed on green walls
that putty will not be in great demand
when they dry. a ~
That hot air from furnace will not
start and open every piece of wood
work with which it comes in contact,
nine times out of ten. ra te5" ID.
That in all cases money is saved by
contracting with the lowest bidder.
That all knowledge in relation to
building is embodied in every man
who signs "Architect" after his name.
That architects and builders never
" lay in together" and owners never
get shorn through that little arrange
ment. I5pGo u laH1' a-sr4 q
That architects, as a. rule, get no
other commissions ON buildings except
the traditional " five per cent, on the
cost"
That builders always carry out plans
and specifications to the letter..
That there are no high-minded, con-
scientious, competent architects, and
no honest, reliable builders and that
either class does not bear reputation
equal to that of any other business
men. so1g I'D OH So q
That builder does not require an
extended theoretical, or an architect as
extended practical knowledge to be
successful 20 ata ifi'as
That no builder can be successful
architect, or that practical architect
cannot be a successful builder. :.
That you, reader, without practical
knowledge, know great deal more
about the details of house than of a
| locomotive. #" 'H
