The old-stock jokes about the deadly
cucumber OF commerce have long since
become moth-eaten and unservIceable.
and the public has come 10 re gard this
palatable vegetable as one Of tue most
wholesome, if not indispensable, in the
whole catalogue Of the productions of the
truck farm. The cucumber is the verita-
BILE stati Of life in some countries. In
Egypt it very largely supplies the place of
both meat and bread, besides covering the
entire list Of vegetables obtainable by the
great unwashed population, anf it also
takes the place Of medicine with the sick.
In this country the cucumber has not
yet risen to the important position Of one
Of tho great necessaries OF lite. 1t has,
however, become very prominent lux
ury, ana its growth aud consumption have
increased wonderfully during the last
decade. Although it has been abused and
slandered, it has gradually extended It's
popularity, until now no respectable
family can we'll afford to be without it,
One great cause Of its pOpularI. is,
doubtless, the fact that, while it is de-
lghtful as a pickle, it rarely has any part
and refreshing instead Of being irritating
and infammatOry.
A New York paper informs us that on
Wednesday evening last Matilda Simon,
Of that city, a 14-year old girl. visited a
neignbOring corner grocery and bought
three green cucumber pickles, for which
she paid cents. She ate the pickles be-
tore reaching her home, was taken vio-
lently i'll Immediately on her return, grew
rapidly worse, and died in commissions
next morning. At first her death was
charged to the cucumbers, and there was
a general rehashing OF all the old explo-
ded charges against that vegetable, but
when the doctors came to give their opIn-
ions - was agreed that the unfortunate
girls symptoms were Enthusiastically those
! OF poisoning, aud the irresistible conclu-
sion reached was that the poison was
contained in the coloring matter of the
pickles. Ii will be seen, therefore, that
the girl died. not on account of the Gu
cumbers, but in spite Of them, and the Gu
cumbers stand yindicated.
The moral Of the narrative is an old
one. and is that the bright green cucum-
Der pickles are to be condemned, while
the pale ones, If not too much inclined to
I be yellowish, which indicates that the
vegetable was over ripe, may be safely
I eaten at any and all times
1t ia more than probable that within the
next ten years the cucumber will become
staple article % diet even in America,
and that it will be eaten fried boiled,
stewed, baked, or made into custards aud
pies, for some very promising expert
ments IN the varied preparations OF this
vegetable have already been made, and
these experiments now have only 10 be
improved upon, and the results to become
generally known.

1t seems to hurt the holders of the bogus
Georgia bonds to see how little their
efforts to injure the credit of the State
with reference to its new bonds have ac-
complished. OF course if they could de-
press the recognized bonds of Georgia
their claims would not be benefited. and
1t does seem that common sense ought TO
teach them that the more malice they ex-
hbit towards our State and people and
the more they try to injure us, the less
likely are they to ever get a rehearing of
their case.
The misrepresentation that have been
made by Clews and his confederates in re-
gard TO the status OF the new Georgia
bonds, are In keeping with the nature of
the transactions by which they obtained
the bonds that have been declared null
and void.
The false reports that were circulated
to the effect that 500, 900 of the Bullock
bonds had been given to the State Of ILL
nois for the use Of the Soldiers Home,
and that that State would bring suit on
them in order to test the liability OF Geor-
ga in the Supreme Court of the United
States, was no doubt merely an effort TO
depress our new bonds and embarrass the
gentleman who has bought them. The
threat was made some months ago to resort
to some such device in order TO force Geor-
gia to recognize ana pay some portion Of
thess unjust claims. and thus 10 obta N
lever with which to eventually force re-
cOgnition Of the whole amount.
1t is doubtful whether any state would
accept a donation of bonds under such
circumstances, and should such a dona-
ton be accepted II is more than doubtful
whether a state would stand in any better
position as the complainant in the United
States Court against Georgia, than that of
the original holders of the bogus bonds.
Then the merits OF the case are such that
il is hardly possible that decree could
be obtained were it settled that the state
is liable TO suit.
The Bullock bonds were not declared
void in haste or on account OF popular
clamor or want Of disposition 10 do rizht.
Months we're spent investigating the facts
concerning them, and some Of the ables,
and most industrious lawyers in the state
devoted mucu study 10 the questions of
law and equity involved in the issuing
and negotiating OF them. All that were
legally or equitably binding on the state
were recognized, and those that were not
legally and equitahly binding were de-
clared void. There is no probability that
those latter will ever he paid, and the
boldors might as well charge up the
amounts, principal and interest, to the
account OF Republican rascality during
the DAYS OF reconstruction.

We try TO treat our contemporaries
fairly, and we like fair treatment IN re-
turn. In discussing the postal saving -
bank bin the Atlanta Constitution says:
II is plain the savannah MORNING
NEWS has not studied recent reports OF

aggregate Of deposits IN STATE savings
banks ia not large. sony small sums. 4"
II Say 3, "WOuld remain on deposit" Very
true; put small sums make large sum.
when there are enough Of them.
The MORNING NEWS has not intimated
anywhere that the aggregate of deposits
in state savings banks is not large" It
has not intimat'd anything with respect
10 the amount OF deposits In State say n,,s
banks. What the MORNING NEWS did
say was that only small sums would re-
main on deposit in the proposed postal
sayinS banks. Tho idea sou .nt To be-
conveyed was that on account of the very
low rate OF interest that would be pad On
deposits in these banks, depositors would
draw out Of them their savings before
they reached considerable sums, aud in.
vest them whore they would yield better
returns. We must assume, OF course.
that the Constitution unintentlonally did
