GEORGIA CREDIT.

The recent sale of Georgia bonds |
has attracted attention all over the
country and is everywhere the SUBJ
ject of flattering comment on the
States credit. The Financier of
New York in its last issue devotes
several columns to discussion of
Georgia's financial condition.
The Financier says:
The state of Gergia owns more
public property than is. sufficient to
pay her public debt. The annual
rental of 100000, derived from one
railroad which the state owns, (the
Western and Atlantic, from Atlanta
to Chattanooga would be nearly
sufficient TO pay full interest on her
whole debt, founded on the basis Of
this 81, 100000 loan, and that road
would sell for enough almost to pay
off her entire debt, it being estima-
ted of value of $4,000, 900, and 1873
miles in length.
Apart from this is the fact that
S341 ,504,921, 90 of her citizens prop
erty is chargeable with this debt of
S8,585,540. In short she owns for
ty dollars for every one that she
owes. Further, she cannot increase
her bonded debt except to save the
state from invasion, defend it in
war and to provide for casual def
clencies in her state revenues not
exceeding the limited number of
100000.
This reference is made to the re-
cent issue of bonds:
The state OF Georgia, having 81
al 900 of bonds bearing six per
cent. interest, falling due January
LIST, 1889, and not being in posi-
ton to pay off the whole amount,
desired to extend a portion by
new loan at lower rate of interest
and by authority of an act of her
legislature, approved September
9TH, 1887, invited bids by public adj
vertisement for $1,900,000 of four
and one-halt per cent. bonds, dated
January LIST, 1889, and maturing in
in series of 100000 each from Jan
uary LIST, 1898 to 1926 inclusive.
After dae publication the offers
were opened, and it was found that
the loan had been bid for several
times over and that the bid of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York, the largest insurance
company and one of the strongest
financial institution in the world.
tor the whole issue of S1,900,000 of
bonds at 104f, was the highest and
it 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. Cor
don, foremost in the work of state
welfare and the impersonation of
reunion and national restoration.
No trust to faith was ever more
deeply founded. No trust to faith
will ever be more inviolate. The
Mutual Lite never made better in
vestment; in all substantial respects
it is as good as governments, which
are rating 20 per cent. higher. Geor-
gia never negotiated her credit to
better advantage. She could not
have more powerful and useful
friend in all the world of finance,
one able to stand by her while her
pillars of state, "Wisdom, Justice
and Moderation" last.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The fashionable
riding school is one of the most interesting
objects of life in great city. There are
several in New York, and visit to one of
them during the practice hours of the day
will repay anybody, either q resident or a
stranger The practice ring is an inclosed,
rooted in, skylighted square, similar to a
roller skating rink, but with cold, horsey
air The floor is covered with coating of
tan bark five feet deep, which is wet down
every morning. The place is lighted by
Electricity and made brilliant by many
large mirrors upon all the walls. The ring
surrounded by stalls upon every side.
These institutions are often very old, and
some of them are witnessing the third or
fourth generation of patrons. found the
manager of one of them at the ring the
other day, and while was watching the fly
inc horses with their lady riders he chatted
lin a most interesting fashion about the fea-
lures of his business.

the difference is more manifest still to the
wearer. Many wear thick wehbed jersey

flannel, some both. Many here are riding
without corsets.
Notice those little buttons on the basque
portion. Mrs. S. goes to her room at home,
dons her riding suit, catches up the skirt
here and there by loops hung on these little
buttons. Over this she drops her regular

by the extreme agility with which she springs
into the saddle, the quickness with which
she turns and is off, and the unwatchfulness
