Messrs. L. G. Bowers and A. M. Allen, Mrs. Jane Martin and M. J. Crawford, jr., 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.

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.

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.

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.
