WHEN YOU’RE DOWN. What legion of “friends” always bless us When golden success lights your way ! How they smile as they softly address us. So cordial, good humored and gay ! But oli! when the sun of prosperity Hath set, then how quickly they frown, And cry out, in tones of severity, Kick tlic man ! don’t you see lie is down! What though when you knew not a sor row Your heart was open as day, And your “friends” wiien, they wanted to borrow, You’d oblige—and ne'er ask them to “pay ?” What though not a soul you e’er slighted, As you meandered about through tho town ? Your “friends” become very near sighted, And don’t seem to see you when down ! When you’re “up,” you arc loudly exalted, Ami traders ail sing out your praise ; When you’rt down, you have greatly de faulted, And they really “ don’t fancy your ways.” Your stylo was “tip top” when you’d money, So sings every sucker and clown ; But now, ’Us exceedingly funny, Things arc altered, because you’re down! Oh, give me the heart that forever Is free from the world's selfish rust, And the soul whose high, noble endeavor Is to raise fallen men from the dust; And when, in adversity’s qcean, A victim is likely to drown, All hail to the friend whose devotion Will lift up a man when he’s “down.” SYNOPSIS OF LEGISLATIVE PRO CEEDINGS. MADE I P FROM OUR EXCHANGES. SENATE. Feb., 1811), p. m. Bills were passed to charter the Green wood and Augusta Railway; to amend tlie city ot Augusta so as to confirm the titles to property on the canal and for other purposes; to require Justices ot the Peace to furnish Tax Receivers with a list of tax payers; to pay school teachers for services in 1871 and 1872; to incor porate the Darien Banking Company. FIGHT BETWEEN TIIE SENATE AND THE GOVERNOR. The Scna’e went into executive session and refused to confirm Mi. Tompkins ns Solicitor General of the Eastern Circuit. There is a strong feeling on the part of members aguinst certain appointments made by the Governor, which disturbs the entente cord idle heretofore existing be tween the Executive and the Senate. 1111,i.s PASSED. To prevent hunting and fishing on Sun day; to protect game in Bryan and Chat ham counties; to create the oiliec oCStntc Geologist—lost try laying on the table for the present session; to amend the net in corporating the Barnard and Henderson Street Railway Company; to increase the number ot Directors of the Central Rail way ; to amend the act to incorporate the Skidaway Shell Road Company; to regu late the time of holding tho Superior Court of Chatham county ; to authorize the Governor to subscribe tor five hundred copies of Ified’s hand book of criminal laws. HOUSE. The House lias been waiting the action of the Senate, which is behind its business. A large number of local and private bills have been passed to-day, and all business will be transacted before adjournment. Many members left last night and this morning, and both bodies present a weak appearance this afternoon. Upon the call of the roll to ascertain if a quorum was present, there were found Beveuty five absent from the House. Tlie dead lock on the appointment of Tompkins as Solicitor General was lifted by the Governor, who nominated Col. Al bert R. Lamar as Solicitor General of the Eastern Circuit, and he was at once con firmed. Col. Lamar did not seek the po sition, which was voluntarily tendered by the Governor. Col. Lamar will accept. Judge Reese’s tax bill, providing tor a full and thorough return of the value of taxable property, was emasculated by striking out the fourth section and then tabled in the House. A joint resolution was passed, request ing the Governor to pardon Dr. Harrison Westmorland, of Atlanta, and Bradford T. Olive, of Augusta. Both Houses adjourned sine die at 8 o’clock this evening - ♦ • A school girl in one of tho rural dis tricts of Pitsfield was overheaed trying to convince a school fellow that she liked him better than sbedid some other urchin of whom he seemed jealous. “Os course I like you better than I do Bill,” said she, “for don’t I miss words in my spe'ling lesson on purpose, so as to be down to the foot ot tlie class where you arc ?” [From New Orleans Times. The Modoc War. While awaiting a recurrence of “Capt. Jack,” the forty millions of people consti tuting the American Republic might con template, with what pride they can, their war upon tlie Modoc nation, composed of some forty-five “bucks,” and as many sym pathisers, squaws and papooses, tlie whole w ithout bureaux, war departments, or tlie skilled command of military acad emicians. That tlie Modoc nation is deficient in “West Point,” is made evident by tlie to tal lack, in their mancuvres, of those splendid military coups, by which troops are exposed to needless fire and loss of life. It would never have occurred to any but a military officer of the schools, to have his command shot down all day. without getting sight of tlie enemy, and be then driven to retreat, with a cry for reinforcements. The Modocs have shown pluck, a good idea of gunnery ; and in means of a sort of leap-frog, they keep themselves “entrenched” to tlie manifest confusion ot tlie enemy ; and it is Imped the due humiliation of tlie intelligent white skins throughout tlie United States of America, to whom this grand national war belongs. Let us not, however, sup press tlie fact that, since tlie great battle on Thule Lake shore, there lias been a slightly consoling Modoc repulse. But there is nothing but disgrace to be gathered, either from tlie war or its ante cedents, in this case of tlie Modocs as in all precedent Indian wars. In all, the wrongs done tho led men, have been flag rant and patent, invariably, however, tlie act, not ot the government, but of its agents, or those who contrive, under its authority, to commit spoliation and injury and to follow these up with war. The Modocs were willing to live in amity with tlie whites, and did so live lor years, till recently, by the stealers of their lands, they were driven into the moun tains, into tiie lava beds, into making their homes and defenses among the bowl ders. And when the poorsavages were thus limited and goaded to acts of revenge, tlie Government was called on by tlie land stealing whites to protect them from Mo doc aggression. So the matter was hand ed over to the immaculate Indian Bureau; and a grand bluster and brag and swag ger, with noisy pledges of tlie great things to be done, ensued, till we recall ed incontinently tlie brag and blather and boast that precluded the Mexican war more than a quarter of a cqiitury ago, in tlie fruits ot which, however, were no shame or humiliations, but national ad vancement and renown. The treatment of the Modocs which lias given rise to this war, all accounts concur in representing as cruel, selfish, treacherous, and in tlie last degree, dis graceful to Americans. What lack is it which entails upon a free people tlie ne cessity of a government that cynimits wrong through agems whom it does not know, and makes war for causes which should insure peace; that is first abused into warranting outrage, and then nation alizes its natural effects into provocation for a war of outrages. It was not govern, ment that drove these Indians from their homes, but when they were driven shelt erless into the mountains, government should luivo restored them, not hunted them to fuitlicr extremity, and into lnwcr deeds of retaliation and revenge. Tlie instigators of this trouble with the Modoc Indians should be ferreted out by tho Government, in place of pi rsucing further the poor victims of its blindness and its crime. For every homicide com mitted in this needless strife a murderer should be found by tlie Government to execute its vengeance upon. Somebody is guilty, some one or more responsible; and against these, after restoring the In dian to his statu quo, let the Government carry on its war. Lightnino on the crest of TIIF. Eocko Mountains.— Grey’s peak is the home of thunder. Tlie lightning knows it as the eagle knows its nest. Being tlie highest of all the peaks of the Sierra, it attracts the clouds, which almost daily gather around its head, and burst upon it so that it sometimes tries tlie nerves of the boldest to run tlie gauntlet of tln.se storms. At such times tlie whole tjjoun tain seems charged with electricity. Those who have been caught at such a moment say it shot through them like needles; it buzzed about their heads like bees ; they could hear it whistle like a gale through tlie rigging of a ship. The guides being more accustomed to sucii things, are less terrified, but tourists are sometimes paral yzed with terror, if not with the shock, and fail to tlie ground unable to move. Even the guides sometimes think it a matter of prudence to throw themselves fiat upon their faces so as not to present a point for tlie lightning to strike. Tlie poor dumb brutes, taught by instinct, turn their heads from tlie storm and let it beat. If a party were caught on the sum mit in a long snow storm, it is probable they would perish. In the blinding drif.s it would be impossible to find tlie path, and no mortal strength could hold out for many hours. Such accidents do not occur, because tlie guides are on tlie watch. When they see a storm coming up, they bid ail run for their lives. They fly with speed, and come down often trembling and afraid, as if, like Moses, they had been up on the mount into tlie clouds, and had seen tlie awful power of God. —[Weekly Oregonian. Regulations for Lent. The I.enton season begun on Wednes day., 2Gth instant, and the regulations tor the observance thereof have been issued by the most Rev. Archbishop of Balti more, through his Secretary, Rev. Thomas Lee. All the faithful who have comple ted their twenty-first year are, unless le gitimately dispensed, bound to observe the fast, and are to make only one meal a day, except on Sundays. The meal al lowed on fast days is not to be taken until about noon, and at that meal, it on that day permission should be granted for eat ing flush, botli fish ami flesh are not to be used at the same time, even by the way of seasoning A small refreshment will be allowed in the evening, and the practice ot the most regular Christian is never to let it exceed tlie fourth part ol an ordina ry uical. Tlie food allowed at a refresh ment is bread, butter, cheese, fruits, sal ads, vegetables and fish; milk and eggs being prohibited. In tlie morning, tea, coffee, or thin chocolate may lie used.— Hog’s lard, instead of butter, may lie use 1 in tin: preparation of fish, vegetables, &c. Persons under age, the sick, musing wo men, tliose who are obliged to do hard labor, and all who, through weakness, cannot fast without great prejudice to their health, are exempted from the ob ligation of fasting. By dispensa - ion, tlie use of flesh meat will be allowed at any time Oi Sundays, and once a day on Mon days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with tho exemption of Holy Thursday and tho second and last Saturdays in Lent. Persons dispensed on account of age or hard labor are not bound by the instruc tions of using meat at only one meal on days on which its use is granted by dis pensation. All others are permitted to, use meat only at one meal. A New Business for the South. Sand oi the best quality for the manu- 1 fucture of glass exists in abundance in tlie Gulf States, and several preliminary ef forts liave been made to start glass fac tories, particularly iu southern Mississip pi, but these attempts have so far been of no avail for want of capital. It would prove a great thing for the South could this industry be successfully established in her various States, for tlie cultiv itiou of fruit for canning and preserving in quantities Ims become so general in some sectio s that glass jars and glassware gen erally are greatly in demand. Having tlie fruits and sugar, the South only needs her own glassware to obtain a monopoly of tlie trade in preserved fruits. The above paragraph reminds us of an occurrence which 'excited our curiosity several years ago. A cart loaded with sand, which had been taken from one ot the sand bars in tho river was standing oil the Bay. A Massachusetts man, now a citizen of Savannah, took up a handful of tlie sand, which lie subjected to a close inspection. Observing his interest in tlie investigation wo asked him what there was peculiar about tlie sand. He replied that it contained a larger per centage of glass than any sand lie had ever seen, and that in tlie vicinity of a glass factory it would be very valuable. Tlie sand wu g the same that constitutes tho bars in our river. Tlie gentleman who hud been con nected with a glass manufactory in New England, stated-that sand of no better, it as good quality, was transported from a great distance to supply the lactones in Massachusetts. With an abundance of the beet materi al at hand for tlie manufacture of glass, and a market for any quantity of the manufactured article in our own and ad joining Southern States, why would not a small amount of capital and enterprise find profitable investment in the establish ment of glass works in Savannah ?—[Sav- News. A Story of Two Pictures. Pictures themselves sometimes have a curious history. The story of the two pictures at Florence is old, but not worn out. An nriist at Rome saw often, play ing in the streets near his window, a child of exquisite beauty, with golden hair and cherub face. Struck with the loveliness of tlie boy, lie painted a picture of him and luing it up in tlie studio. In the saddest hours that sweet, gentle face looked down upon him like an angle of light. Its presence filled the soul witli gladness and longings for heaven, which its purity symbolized. “If ever I find,’ said he, “a perfect contrast to this beau teous face, I will paint that also, and hang it up on the opposite wall, and the one I will call heaven anil tlie other hell,” Years passed. At length, in another part of Italy, in a prison, he visited, looking n through tlie grated door of a cell, tie’ tlie most hideous object that ever met iris sight—a fierce haggard fiend, and cheeks deeply marked with the lines of lust and crime. Tlie artist remember ed tlie promise he lmd made himself, and immediately painted a picture of this loathsome culprit, to hang over against tlie portrait; of tlie lovely boy. Tlie con trast was perfect; the two poles of tlie moral universe were before him. Then tlie mystery ol the human soul gained an other illustration. He had two pictures, but they were likenesses of one and the same person. To his surprise, on inquir ing into the history of the horrid wretch, lie learned that he was no other than tlie sweet child with tlie golden ringlets whom he once knew so well and saw so often playing in tlie streets of Rome. . VOL. VII—NO. 42 Josie Mansfield. 1 The following paragraph about this no toiious and unhappy woman reads too much like poetical justice to Ik l credited. Besides, we not long since read of her de parture for Europe, and she has since fa : ded out of public view, in the rapid ag gregation ot other horrors and improprie ties in the big city of sin. Hence we put this statement of the Pittsburg Leader down as a roorback, or as a case of mista ken identity, until we found it reproduced in the New York Express, a paper that ought to know. It is in substance as fol lows : About one o’clock this morning an offi cer, patrolling his beat near the corner of High and Wylie streets, observed a richly dressed and elegantly-looking woman stag gering about in a state of beastly intoxi cation. The woman was taken in charge, and even the officer, accustomed to the most obscene and indecent language, was horrified at the tirade of filthy epithets and horrible blasphemy in which his pris oner indulged. The woman was taken to the lock-up, and on being taken beioro Lieut. Palmer to register her name, that officer, from seeing her photograph often, recognized the bloated, yet.handsome wo man before him, and exclaimed, ‘‘Hea vens! Josie Mansfield ?” “Aye, Josie Mansfield,” returned the woman ; “look .me lip, you 1” The abandoned wretch was locked in a cell, and the fact of her presence becoming known, a largo crowd gathered at the morning hearing. Mayor Blaekmore, alter hearing the charge, fined her four dollars and a i;unrter, and in default sent her to jail for forty-eight hours. Shu had lost her money, aod Josie Mansfield is now in Alleghany county jail, a common drunkard. This is li case where retributive justice has been swift to fol low evil doing, and there will be but few who read this article who will have a word of sympathy for the notorious Josie Mansfield, The President and ‘his Friends.’ The “Nation” is a Radical newspaper of large circulation and considerable in fluence, published in the city of New York. The intelligent correspondent of i hat journal thus writestrom Washington, Speaking of the White House and its im mediate coterie, lie says: lam told they have a quiet chuckle there ever the Credit Mobiiier investiga tion, tor a very characteristic reason; as long as Congressmen investigate and de stroy one another; they will havo no time t". WiitTW .the. Executive departmentalMMKii White look with cool indifferciiccat'tncs'iatigirpQ er going ou “at the other ond of the ave nue.” But, unless Inm greatly mistaken, that indifference is illadviscd, for the in vestigations nio, like a file, “not under control,” and it is no'l far from the Capi tol to the White House, Moreover, these are the first symptoms perceptible of an estrangement between the President and some of the Republican leaders. I have seen several Senators and Representatives who think that tlio President is not in a proper frame of mind at nil; that lie does not care to “recognize” the great services rendered to him during the late campaign ; that lie believes und says that his own popularity alono carried the election, and had to pull the so-called party leaders through, who in many cases were mere dead weight; that therefore, he does not owe anybody anything on ac count ot the late campaign, but that those whose re-election was secured by the strength of his popularity owe him much. Judicious Advertising. —The follow ing sensible remarks from the New York Journal of Commerce are commended to the careful consideration of business men: People who sit nervously in counting liouses or behind their goods, waiting for men to take them by storm, and making no effort to let the world know the bar gains they have to offer, will find the sea sons very unpropitious. Many of those wlm have spent large sums in hiring drum mers, and paying for other well-known appliances of trade, have effected large sales, but swallowed up too large a share of the receipts in such enormous attend ant expenses. The best remuneration lias been found by those who have returned to the more legitimate, old-fashioned meth ods of pushing their business. We say it, not simply becuusc we are interested in this line ot expenditure, hut us our best advice to all who wish te be enterprising or to secure a larger custom, there is no thing now so effective to this end as judi cious advertising. We do not believe that any who have valuable service or desira ble property to offer can fail of a rich har vest by continuous advertising on a large scale.
