was called upon by the frantic cries for help
OF man who had got beyond his depth, and
plunged into the breakers, followed by surf

strongly seaward, had caught the unfortunate
swimmer, and he was being rapidly carried
out of the reach of assistance. BOytOn seized
him Just as he was about TO sink for the last
time, and had him hauled aboard the boat.
The man was utterly exhausted, and it was
nearly an hour before he was fully restored.
He took of his bathing suit dressed himself,
and then with rare magnanimity took from his
vest pocket a 50-cent note (silver half dollars
were not as plentiful then as now and handed
il TO BOyton saying:
II owe you nv life, sir. and / hope you will
call upon me whenever you want favor.

EnoIish PnIifics.

Mr.. Gladstone is not having a very easy
time of it at present. Sir Peter Lumsden
has arrived in London and, although the
government ordered him to keep a still
tongue in his head, he had before receiy-
ing the order said enough to give the enc
mics Of the Gladstone Cabinet material
for bitter attacks upon it.
Sir Peter regards himself as very bad
lY used man. 1t is true that he asked to
be recalled from Afghanistan, but that
was because the policy of his government
was such as to make his position ex-
tremely unpleasant. When he no longer
commanded respect he wanted to retire
from the field of action.
The chief thing that troubles Mr.. Glad
stone, however, is the dissensions among
the members Of his government. Lord
Spencer has said that he would resign if
his wishes with regard to the crimes act
in Ireland We're not respected. He wants
the act, with some notifications, re-
newed. He is in a position to know, and
he thinks he does know, more about Ire
land than any other member of the gov
eminent. MIR. Chamberlain and Sir
Charles Dixie insist that everything is
peaceful in Ireland and that it is unjust
to the Irish people to talk about renewing
the crimes act. If any of its provisions
are renewed for a longer period than one
/ year they will, they declare, resign.
OF course Mr.. Gladstone don't want
/ bis government to fall to pieces in the
face of the approaching elections, and he
will, therefore, it is believed, try to effect
a compromise that Will satisfy, for the
| present at least, the hostile elements.
/ OF course the Nationalists, led by Mr..
Parnell, view the threatening situation
with extreme satisfaction. Their theory
is, and it seems to he correct, that the
greater the differences among English
statesmen and the more complicated
England's foreign affairs are the better
the outlook for Ireland will be.
Our dispatches this morning indicate
that the crisis in the affairs of the Glad,
| stone government has been reached. The
government was defeated yesterday on the
second reading of the budget, and Mr.
/ Gladstoue's resignation, it is thought, will
be rendered TO the Queen to-day. If Mr.
/ Gladstone resigns, whoever succeeds him
will not have an easy task TO form a new
/ ministry.

De Neville, the French painter of military

walls with bullets. His models, most OF them
soldiers who had made the campaign, were
often nearly sutfOcated by teing piled upon

Those Bogus Bonds.

Hon. n. }. Hammond has written a
I brief but able and conclusive, commune
cation on the subject of the fraudulent
Georgia bonds which were Endorsed by
Bullock when he occupied the office Of
Governor. He handles the acts of Bull
lock, Kimhall and Clews without gloves,
and refreshes the memory OF the people as
to the real facts Of the bond business,
about which so much abuse and misrep-
resentation is now being printed in some
OF the Northern papers.
Mr. Hammond, in reviewing the report
ofthe bond committee which w as engaged
several months in investigating the bond
transactions of Bullock's administration,
shows that Bullock increased the actual
bonded Indebtedness of the state by near
" $s,0O0,000, or from $5,s27, 900 when he
was inaugurated, to $l3, $50, 900 when he
left the State. Besides that, Bullock at
tempted to place the States Endorsement
on railroad bonds to the amount Of
50 633, 900. Thus under Bullock's admin
istration, assisted by the great developers,
Kimball and Clews, 1.-THE small debt which
had been made in 100 years of prosperity,
was more than trebled in three years of
our poverty and desolation."
Mr.. Hammond then shows wherein the
bonds annuled by the General Assembly,
and subsequently by the Constitutional
Convention, were fraudulently and ille-
gally issued, and therefore are unconsti-
tutional and void. The manner in which
Bullock violated the law and the cOnsti-
tuition, in indOrsing the bonds presented
by Kimball, is tersely stated, and the
status of these bonds is made so very
plain that it is impossible to doubt that
there is no legal or moral obligation rest
ing on the people of the State to redeem
them.
Mr.. Hammond, in conclusion, very et-
fectually disposes of the special plea that
Georgia ought to open her courts to the
holders of these bonds.
The verdict was made up on the bogus
bond cases twelve years ago. The jurors,
our legislators, and afterwards the dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention,
were men who had the honor and interests
Of Georgia at heart, and not adventures.
The verdict has been almost unani-
mously indorsed by Georgians, and by the
better class of financiers both at home
and abroad. Bullock can not now pose
as a citizen who cares only for the credit
and honor of the State. No man disposed
to be just, who knows the history of the
bonds under discussion, can consider the
State liable for them. Ire case is closed,
and doubtless closed forever.

An Interesting Relic.

The University of Virginia has recently
come into possession of an interesting relic
one of the original printed copies of the first

paper Is a supplement to the Virginia Gdsette,
then printed at williamsburg, and bears
the date OF July 3, l7l6 The preamble

The paper is presented to the University Of
Virginia by a son of the Commonwealth,
Judge William Archer Cooke, now n distin-

served in his family since it was drst printed,
two relatives having been among the officers
appointed under the original "Dlan OF govern
ment." viz, the Governor, Patrick Henry
and ames Cooke, a resident of the county of
Abemarle.
Judge Cooke concludes his graceful letter
presenting this memorial Of the past as that
constitution itself concludes, with the senti-
ment then frst uttered, God save the Com

DAILY optic of last Friday. for which X. A.

$1,000 The money was paid by a wealthy
stockman named J. w. Lynch as wager that
the editor would not. or could not, abstain en-
tirely from the use of intoxicating liquors for
six months. The most interesting part of the
transaction is the public acknowledgment in
sledge- hammer temperance talk, written in
the first person and striking right out from
the shoulder. 1t contains, in the short space
mentioned, more solid truth than thousand
mountebanks of the St. John stripe ever ut
