 ATLANTA, Dec. 2.-After mora +hon So years knocking at the door of tba state treasury. the holders of cartoi,, pohds of the state have been throw, . cromo by the legislature.

Yention bonds and part of them as western and Atlantic bonds Tbev amounted In all to S20. 5G0. and were due In 1870 and 1871. Ever since +ban thelr holders have been endeavorino, +o secure st @ thelr payment. Judge Charles V. hlooee has represented the holders oeiore Legislature after legislature Nineteen times did Judge Kibbee se- cure favorable report on the question or thelr payment, but each time when brought to the test in the lepislatnra the measure failed.
 The final result was that by the mar row margin of one vote the house de- clded to pay the principal of these bonds.
 It IS probable the holders of the bonds will be glad to get even that much bnt people generally depreciate the action or the house. fearing it will impair the value ot outstanding securities and sf- feet the states credit. The people be- !leVe that equity demands that interest be paid holders for all the time they nave been kept out of their money, and an effort will be made through the sen ate to secure this, but it is not likely it will succeed.

A VALUABLE NUT.
The Kola Nut Can Be Successfully
Raised Here.

About eight years ago small guam
tity of kola nuts-about thirty pounds
were imported and planted in the
Government nurseries As the nuts
weigh over an ounce each there were
not many of them, but what there
were did very well. A few of the
plants were given away and the rest
were destroyed at the time the nurser-
les were h)oded Nothing was heard OF
those given away until few mornings
since, when Minister Dlmon brought a
strange looking pod to Commissioner
Marsden for identification. 1t was ex-
amined by Mr.. Marsden, STAR re-
porter and others, but they could n tell
its name. The pod was seven inches
long, four inches across and would prob
ably weigh half pound or more. II
had burst open after the manner of a
chestnut burr, and nine nuts We're ex
posed. These were hard and of the
color of polished ivory emitting pleas,
ant and fragrant perfume. Minister
Damon stated that he had obtained the
tree from the Government nurseries
some years since, but this was the first
year any nuts had been produced,
These nuts have since been sub
mitted to Messrs. Yaeger, Willing and
other experienced horticulturists ano
identified as the kola beyond question
The kola nut (steycHlid dcHminata) is
a native of Africa, the nuts original,
planted here having been obtaineo
from Liberia. 1t is one of the mos
valuable Of edible tropical nuts, and i,
prepared and used like cocoa. A pre-
paration called kolatina is made from
this nut and sold quite extensively il
London and other large cities as a
nerve tonic and stimulant. 1t possesses
all the beneficial properties Of cocoa
but is FIVE times stronger, at the sam,
time yielding 2 per cent, caffeine, o

MATTERS EPlSCoPALIAN.
The Second Congregation Will Not
Stand the Bishops Nonsense.

Although the matter has been kept
very quiet, still it has leaked out that
an important meeting Of the members
of the Second Congregation Of ST.
Andrews Cathedral was held a few
days since, at which the Bishops pam,
phlet and present attitude towards the
congregation was fully discussed and
the future course of action determine
on.
Rumor further says that it was
deemed best to let the Lord Bishop OF
the Anglican Church in Hawaii under
stand, once for all, that the Second
Congregation had had enough of his
childish persecution, which he was
politely, but firmly, requested by letter
to cease. 1t is also reported that he
was notified at the same time that
under no circumstances would the
Second Congregation give up their
present services or PASTOR and that
any attempt on the part of the Bishop
would be resisted to the utm lst.

"The restoration Of the Queen, hvo.

not be done except by bloodshed and
violation Of the rights and liberties OF
the best Anglo Saxon element and
the best Hawaiian element in the land.
Such a restoration would mean the
reinstatement ofthe retrogressive forces,
which would be in the last degree
harmful to every American interest IN
that land On the contrary, If annex

would be attracted in large numbers
and an impetus would be given to new

This would tend to the establish

increased production Of coffee and
