HOLY WEEK.
THE OR SEEVANCES Or ITS DIF
FERENT DAYS.
It oommences to-day with Palm Ban-
day. It is some times called “Passion
Week.” It is the one whioh preoeeda
“Easter,” next Sunday, April 1st, and is
the dosing week in Lent. He term holy
is applied because it is commemorative of
Christ’s death for the redemption of man
kind.
Daring the early oentnries Christians
were wont to fast in this week on one
meal of bread, salt and water, taken in
the evening, while many abstained from
all food, and a still greater number took
no nourishment daring Good Friday and
Holy Saturday.
Only the Lutheran, the Episcopal, the
Roman Catholic and Eastern churches
celebrate the week. The Rnman and
Eastern church observances are the moat
striking and we describe them more par -
ticnlarly.
It oommenoes with Palm Sunday, to-
day, when the blessing of palm branches
or other evergreens (in Georgia cedar or
arbor vitae) and the distribution of them
to the people who oarry them in proces
sion, are designed to recall the eironm-
stances attendant on Christ’s trinmphsnt
entry into Jerusalem.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings the office of Tenebrae (from the
darkening of the churches) is shauted. It
consists of the matins and lands of the
following mornings, whioh it is customa
ry to recite over night. Daring this of
fice a large candlestick is placed near the
alter, bearing fifteen tapers dispersed in
the form of a triangle, and representing
the light of Christ and the prophets who
announced his coming. As the psalms
are sung, the tapers are extinguished, nn
til only the topmost remains. This, as it
represents Christ, is taken down and car
ried behind the altar daring the Miserere,
after which it is put back into its place,
to signify the temporary extinotion of the
light of Christ between his death and res
urrection.
Thursday, being the anniversary of the
AUDITIONS TO THE INSANE
ASYLUM.
From ex-May or Mcllhenny, who has
just returned from a business visit, we
learn something ooncerning the improve
ments to be made to the Insane Asylum
buldings.
Two large and airy infirmaries are to be
built at once. They are to be of wood
one story in height, and quite handsome
in appearance. The main rooms are to
be 100 by 31 feet. Attached to the cen
ter of each in the rear' are apartments for
clothes, bathing, water closet, and on the
other side of a hall a dining room 25 by
30 feet. Each of these structures will
coat about $2,500. They are ^intended
for the harmless idiots, especially those of
advanced years. There are now in the
Asylum about 150 of this class. The
rooms will accommodate about 100 of
those who cannot easily mount and de
scend stairs. The idea is a very happy
one.
The main building is to be so altered
to furnish room for two hundred more
inmates. The arrivals are very numerous.
The laundry, machine shop and engine
room is to be a brick structure 94 by 45
feet. This, with the tnachineiy, will cost
some $9,000.
These buildings are to be built under
the direct supervision of Captafh Willoox,
the Engineer of the Asylum, and a com
petent gentleman, and with a force to be
employed. Work has commenced.

two ceremonies of great significance which
take place in the solemn mass at* Cat he
dral Churches : the consecration by the
Bishop assisted by twelve priests, in foil
sacerdotal coitume, of the oils used in the
administration of the sacraments Ac., and
the washing of feet. At the end of the
mass and after the procession, the oele
brant washes the feet of twelve poor per
sons, while the choir Bings the words of
St. John, Mandatum novum do vobis,

known.. In Rome, the Pope washes
the feet of thirteen poor priests,
memory of tbe body of the apostles,
raised to that number by tbe extraordi
nary calling of St. Paul. During the
Gloria in Excelsis of the mass of Thnrs
day, all the bells are rang and thence
forward remain silent until the Gloria in

A large host, oonsecrated daring this
mass is earned in procession at the end
of it to a side altar (called the sepulehre)
richly decorated, on which it remains,
and where it is visited by the faithfal
during the whole of the ensuing day.
On Good Friday, the altar is denuded
of ornaments to signify the desolation of
the ohurch, the prophesies are sang which
pertain to the story of Christ’s suffering,
the whole body of the faithfal perform
what is called the adoration of the cross,
the passion aooording to St. John is chant
ed, and all prooeed in silence to the
sepalchre, whence the oonseorated host is
brought back in prooession, offered in
adoration to the people,and oonsnmed by
the celebrant. This is called the “mass of
the presanotified,” or preconsecrated ele
ments, no consecration taking place on
that day. This is the only day in the year
on whioh bells or mnsio are not sounded.
It ia in commemoration of the ernoifixion
of Christ.

city, and the system is so admirably ar
ranged that the total cost of the session is
about nine dollars per annum. The trus
tees having a view only to
the general good, determined
at the very outset, nearly twelve
years ago, that they would furnish books
and charge those using them an annual
rental, and make the pupils responsible.
There is also a very small amount assess
ed for incidental expenses. Those, how
ever, who are too poor, are charged noth
ing, but who they are is only known to
trustees and teachers. Columbus was the
first city in Georgia to inaugurate such a
system, and her institutions are equal to
any in the land, and of them the munici
pality is justly proud. By them all her
sons aud daughters are being educated
by a full corps of tbe ablest instructors.
The colored sohools while under the
charge of the same trustees and super
intendent are tanght by colored teaobers.
We are pleased to learn that this depart-
ment will reoeive this year $450 from the
Peabody fund, of whioh in GeorgLa,Com-
missioner Orr is the distributor.
The success of our institutions are due
mainly to the continuance of the policy
adopted by the first trustees, tbe majority
of whom are still members of the board.

Business of Columbus.
The New York Cotton Record has this:
Columbus, Georgia has had a very ac
tive season of it, and absorbed a large
share of tbe trade of its sister cities; the
receipts have been nearly 25,000 bales
more than they were for the same period
last year; the great increase is due to the
profitable business done by the local
packets, and the favorable facilities af
forded by factors, the movement by
wagons exceeding that of last year by
8,000 bales; the railroads, however, have
only done ah average business, tbe excess
being comparatively moderate.

Extract from Circular No. 35, issued from Ike Office of Commssioner of Agrieulture State of Georgia, January, 1877.]
Soil Test or Fxbtilizebs fob 1876.—Tne Com m misgl * ner of Agrieulture required aoo pounds of each brand of Fertiliser sold In Geor*
jla to be subjeet to a thorough soil test. The persons designated to make this test were selected from among the most Intelligent and eare-
ul farmers in the State. As far as possible, each sample ol 600 lb*, was divided Into three equal portions, and one portion sent to eaeh seo-
tlon of the Slate—North, Middle and Southern Georgia.
From the above table it will be seen that the SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO was more thoroughly tested than any other bran^
(number of tests being double), and shows the greatest gain In yield, being 66 per cent., or 327 lbs. Seed Cotton.
Thus,—109 pounds Lint Cotton, at 12^ oents per pound for middling, whioh price has been realized in Columbus In Jan., 18T7 $13 86
and 816 lbs. Cotton Seed, also net gain IN

Terry’s Story. '
The tale told by Terry, at Tnskegee,
about his fare in the Russell county jail,
turns out to be a lie manufactured ont of
whole cloth. Mr. Ransom, the jailer, is
well known by tbe citizens of Rnaaell,
where he has lived many yean, as a hu
mane, kind-hearted man. Those who
had frequent opportunities of seeing and
knowing, state that Terry was treated not
only kindly, bnt leniently, so mnoh so,
that some persons complained of it. A
letter (a very loving one) addressed to his
would-be Mrs. Terry, which he tried to
smuggle out of the jail to her, by a fool
ish negro, waa intercepted by Mr. Ran
som. “That’s what’s the matter with
Hannah.”
