Modern Times.

(AR.-BErsY BAKER.)
The world is growing wondrouS wise,
And everything's improvingj
IT'S hustle, blstle for the prize,
Ahd."push along, keep moving"
The good, old, honest, plodding days
Are gone, no more returning
And new, as well as better ways,
The modern world is learning.
Not oaly are we growing wise,
But cute, as well as funny;
There's nothing brightens up our eyes
Like tinsel, show and money;
To mako our hundreds from our tens,
We night and day are dreamingl
To save the time Of setting hens,
We hatch their eggs by steaming.
Our fathers we're a sturdy race,
They hoed and cropped by the acre,
They whipped the Baptsts into grace,
And hung. the stubborn Quaker;
Our mothers, smarter than trap,
Could lend hand at raking,
Aud while the baby took a nap,
Could wash and do the baking.
Hard work Is getting out ofdate,
We live by speculauons,
In lieu Of toll we tax the pate
For money, clothes and rations;
We run in debt, pay by.and.by,
But, what is deemed still 'cuter,
Pay ten per cent, and on the sly
Thus save our rags aud pewter
Our beauties Sauntcring through the town
To take an afternooning,
Seem by their rig, from hoop to crown,
To mediate ballooning;
Should they go up, I'll pray the gods
ofCicero and Sallust,
For lots Of gas, and ift makes no odds
That go to for ballast.

Congregational 7 Dis istrfets.

We are glad notice move thus early in
the Session, to divide the State into Con-
gressional Districts, and hope the measure
Will be rushed through. 1t is true that no
particular inconvenience has resulted from
the neglect of the Legislature to do SO,
heretofore There are several advantages
to be gained by Districting the State,
at the present time, although the Gen.
sus of 1860 will give US an increased repre-
sentation in Congress, and require that the
State be divided into three or more districts
1t brings the representative nearer to his
constitasnts, and enables the district to
choose representative for themselves with
out interference from other portions of the
Stats. We have no doubt, but that much
of the bitterness of feeling which has exist
ed in the Democratic party. would have been
allayed by an act as simple as this, But as
long as San Francisco can combine with one
or two other favored localities, and say who
shall be sent to represent the State in. Con-
gress, just so long will dssatifaeton and
bitterness of feeling be engendered. Men.
who cannot command the necessary strength
at home to secure nomina tion will seek it
abroad, and bargain the influence they may
acquire as representative, for assistance.
A representative from the northern portion
of California should be responsible to his
immediate constituents, and not to the city
Of San Francisco
Another important fact for the Legisla-
ture to take into consideration while dis
tricting the State, is this Was the election
of Congressman postponed until the Septem-
Der election of 1859, which would be three
months prior to the assembling of Congress,
our, election of Congressman IN 1861. would
fall under the apportionment of which the
census of 1S60'will form the basis, thus Sc
curing to the State her just representation
in Congress one year sooner than by the
present method of electing them fifteen
months prior to the commencement of their
term Of Office

Report of the Grand Jury.

The report of the Grand Jury, published
on Tuesday. shows that the criminal business
of our courts is on the increase. This is
occasoned by the rapid increase of popula-
tion in the county during the past two
years, bringing together, we verify believe,
q majority of the worthless and vicious
characters that in fest the State. The past
year has done much to remove them from
our midst, and the regular sessions of the
Courts. of which circumstances have here
tofore deprived us, will soon do much to re-
store US to order and quiet
There are two important recommendations
contained in the report, which require the
consideration of the county authorities
The first is the recommendation to the Board
of Supervisors for the erection of jnil,
separate and distinct from the Court House,
and the conversion of the present Jail into
Offices and station house for the city. AS
nowearranged there are not rooms sufficient
in the building for the accommodation of the
various county officers, while it produces
much inconvence In earlier times, when
ber confined in our Jail at any ono period,
and our Courts we're occupied but three or
four days with the business of the term, the
present arrangements were found to answer
very we'll 10 the erection Of the present
buildings in this reference appears to have
beenhad moreto the pat wants of the coun
ty, than to abe increased requirements and
Jail capacity, demonstrated to be necessary
by the past years experience. The recent
creation of two additional county Offices
(Recorder asd Tax Colleotor), renders it
commodation of the county business The
Board of Supervisors will, doubtless, give
the recommendation the consideration de-
manded by its paternity, and act in the
matter with reference to the public require
ments and the financial ability of the coun .
ty.
Although commodious and well.regula
ted hospital is an institution, required as
we'll by the public wants as by the dictates
of humanity, we cannot agree with the inry
in all their suggestions concerning its man
sgement. We do not perceive the.neeessity
of empowering the resident physician to
procure any requisites or make any altera-
ti0us he may consider actually necessary"
! Ii is better uuder the immediate direction
of the Supervisors, who will, doubtless, al
ways baprepared to consider such sugges-
tious as the resident Physician may deem
proper and necessary to make. 1t should
/ be surrounded by the same checks and
guards as other county affairs. 1t should
be made to meet the wants of the public,
without the possibility of being subject to
abuse. and We incline to the opinion that the
Board of Supervisors can easily effect nec-
essary improvements.
