When You're Down.

When legions Of friends always bless us,
When golden success lights our way
Bow they smile as they softly address us,
So cordial, good humored, and gay
But ah when the sun Of prosperity
Hath set, then how quickly they frown,
And cry out in tones Of severity,
Kick the man, don't you see he's down ~
What though, when you know not a sorrow,
Your heart was open as day,
And your friends, when they wanted to Dor
row,
You obliged and ne or asked them to "pay !"
What though not a soul you Ger slighted,
AS you wandered about through the town,
Your friends become very near sighted,
Aud don t seem to see when YOU re down
When you're cup you loudly exalted,
And traders ali sing out our praise
When you're down you have greatly defaulted
And they "really don't fancy your ways
Your style was "tip-top," when you'd money,
SO sings every sucker and clown,
But now It's exceedingly funny
T@@::lSs are altered oe1 saGtse are down"
Oh, give me the heart that forever
Is tree from this worlds selfish lust
And the soul whose high noble endeavor
Is to raise fnlleu man from the dust:
And when in ndversity's ocean

TIE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE
CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL. The
engineers who surveyed the proposed routes
for tho extension of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal from Cumberland, Nd to the
waters west Of the Alleghanies have com.
pleted their labors, and are now engaged
IN preparing report for transmission to
Congress. The survey of last season pre-
sents a route different in many points from
previous surveys, leading along tho Poto-
mac 20 Savage river, up which it leads to
point selected for the summit level, which
requires a tunnel six miles in length, to
connect on the west side with the Castle
man river feeder OF The Youghiogheny.-
The advantages claimed for the new line
are first, the fact that it leads from
Cumberland, Nd, directly through the
Cumberland coal basin, thirty miles west
from the present point of coal shipments,
by water, and would thus make a reduction
OF some eighty cents per ton iu cost of han.
ding, aud, second, it would open up for
operation and use the great coal basin on
the west slope Of The Allegheny mountains,
crossing what is known "a the Salisbury
coal fields, which are not now extensively
worked, because of want of facilities for
transportation to market. The estimated
cost Of iA be Slysge aud Castlemnn river line,
including the tunnels, is twenty mii11lions,
and would extend the canal from its pre-
scot terminus ut Cum berland to Connells-
vile, on the Youghiogheny, a distance OF
100 miles, from which point their slack
water and river navigation to Pittsburgh
The water supply is sufficient to FL the pro-
posed reservoirs thirteen times each season,
and each time the reservoirs are e led the
supply would be amply sufficient to furnish
water, allowing for every waste, for one
hundred and seventy boats per day for one
hundred and ten working days, or a capac-
ity of six millions Of tonnage each season
Of months navigation.

REIGN OF TERROR IN ALABAMA,

The Hartford co., Courant Of
Tuesday publishes a letter from Hon.
Chas. Hayes, member ~of Congress
from Alabama, in response to a note
of inquiry from Gen. Hawley, which
gives startling facts concerning the
murder of white and black Republic
cans in Alabama. He gives only
we'll authenticated facts, with names,
dates and localities, and introducing
his narrative, says: II had fondly
hoped that the reign of terror in the
South was over, and that peace, good
will and prosperity might henceforth
reign supreme. Inthis hope I am sad
ly disappointed, for candor compels
me to say that to-day riots, murders
and assassinations Of the true friends
of the government are more common
than they have been at any hour since
Lee surrendered to Grant, and unless
the strong arm of federal power can
avert the calamity, I can see nothing
in the future save gloom and despair
to the loyal men Of the South, ruin to
the material interests of the country,
and death to those of US who uphold
the honor and integrity Of the nation
and counsel submission to the laws Of
the United States"

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

The commercial outlook the world
over is Frightening. The crisis oflast
year, which was felt all over the civil
lied world, is now giving place to
signs of rapid and universal recupera-
ton. * * The price of cereals
and Of vegetable products influences
every department Of commerce.
When the price is low, the bakers
and butchers bills are small and the
workman or mechanic has means to
spend on other things which in less
favored years he has not. He can
afford to patronize the shoemaker,
tailor, cabinet-maker, etc. The tail
or, shoemaker, and cabinet-maker
make demands on the activity Of the
cloth-manufacturer, the tanner, the
lumber merchant, etc. Now it so
happens that all bread-producing
lands promise exceedingly good har-
vests this year. The United States,
France, Hungary, Russia, all tell the
same story. In this country alone
there are this year 100000 more
acres under cultivation than there
were last year. The markets feel al
ready the effects of this increased re-
turn. 1t is not to be expected that
the grain-producing countries will
feel the first or fullest effects of this
activity, since they must be content
with lower prices for their principal
products, but the revival of trade will
be beneficial even to these.-Micago

THE LAST VIAL OF vII.ENESS.

The verbal filth poured upon the
public by Moulton, in the shape Of
a third statement, proved too much
for some of even his most devoted adj
herents. The Chicago Tribune, which
had gagged atnothing before, suppress
SEES a large part Of the statement as
too obscene to appear in its pages
Not solitary fact eliminating Mr..
Beecher is produced; and the only
thing demonstrated to a certainty is
that Moulton has reyeled in the self:
appointed work Of making himself
reservoir Of all the nastiness that
could be scrapcd together, from far
and wide, through four years Of ar
duous effort. The mental and moral
makeup Of the man, as revealed by
this voluntary exposure, show him
to be creature
an whom all evil fan,ies cling
Like ,fpentS' eggs together"
His statement, as first prepared, was
so violent and 50 lacking in those
hypocritical professions Of friendship
for Mr.. Bcecher which had marked
his preceding statement, that the
publishers of the Graphic, to whom it
was taken, refused to publish it, and
it was then submitted by Moulton to
Ben. Butler, who devoted several
days to toning it down.
One of his charges, involving Mr..
Beecher criminally with a lady, not
Mrs. Tilton, and accompanied by a
note, called a retraction, given with
without signature, but represented by
Moulton to be from this lady, is met with
this point-blank denial by the editor
Of the New York Tribune:
Now we know the particulars of this
S<oOs " hAOW tl1o VI Tic tTlSl-
al quarrel to which the letter does relate
We know Mr.. Moulton's charge to be an
atrocious calumny without shadow of JUS
ti6cation, and at the proper day the truth
will be established byindisputable evidence.
Moulton has neither helped himself
or Tilton nor hurt Mr., Beecher by
this last, most lengthy and most indie
cent outpouring of words. The case
is-now in the courts, with the trial
fixed for an early day, and the public

infections in the way of statements
