How grandly he tells of the former
greatness and renown of Ireland:


.Let Erin remember the days OF old,
Ere her faithless sons betray her;
When Malachi wore the collar Of gold,
Which he won from the proud invader;
When her Kings with standard ofgreen unfurled,
Led the Red Branch Knights to danger;,
Ere the Emerald gem of the Western world
Was set In the clown OF stranger"
Washington Irving has furnished q
most felicitous and touching sketch of
the ill-fated loves of Emmett and Sarah
Curran, and Moore has embalmed it in
immortal verse:
"she Is for from the land where her young hero
And lovers ore round her signing;
But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps,
For her heart in his grave is lying.
"Ie had lived for his love- for his country he died
They were all that to life had entwined him,
Nor soon shall the tears or his country be dried,
For long will his love stay behind him.
"oh make her grave where the sunbeams rest,
Where they promise glorious morrow;
West
From her own loved Island of sorrow"
Fletcher, of Saltoun, said: eff man
were permitted to make all the ballads,
he need not care who should make the
laws of nation" While Moore may
have at times basked in the sunshine Of
Court favor and entertained gay and cul-
tivated English circles with his charming
and sentimental lyrics, when he wrote Of
his country his language shot forth as
lightning, as beautiful and as fatal. "It
burned with its electric fire piercing as
the pointed steel, or lambent as ray OF
light" Where is the freeman who fails
to admire the ringing, thrilling tones oi
"But tits past--and tho blazoned in story,
The name Of our victor may be,
Accursed Is the march of that glory
Which treads Ger the hearts OF the free.
''Far dearer the grave or the prison,
Illumed by one patriot name,
Than the trophies Of all who have risen
On liberty's ruins to fame"
One of Moore's melodies conveys the
lesson, and impresses it deeply, that we
should have love for all who bear the
name of Irishman:
"Erin, thy silent tear never shall cease;
Erin thy languid smile necr shall increase,
Till, like the rainbows light,
Thy various tints unite,
And form in Heavens sight,
One arch Of peace"
The purest beauty and stateliest gran
deur pervades "The Harp that once
through Tara's Halls" Moore's songs

CHANGE OF TIME.-We have been in
formed that on or about the 1st of Nov
EN- Der next, or as soon as the large ferry
boat is finished. that the following change
in the time table of the Oregon and Cali
form ia Pacific Railroad will take place:
The north bound passenger tram will
leave Sacramento at 1915 p. m, pass
ing Red Bluf'about $50, to arrive at
Reading at 8:l5 a. m. On returning, will
leave Reading at G;40 n. M, passing BED
Bluff about $40. to arrive in Sacramento
at2:40 p. m. 1t will be seen by Ibis
change that the trains going both north and
south will pass the dfierent stations above
Chico al n pleasant hour in the morning
and evening, which will be much more
convenient 10 passengers than under the
present time Of arrival and departure Of
trains. 1t will be observed, too, that
there will be no change of cars here as at
present, but that the passengers will bo
carried through TO Reading - Ca1Se.

THE c. & 0. Stage CoMPANY.-I. is
with pleasure that we copy and indorse
the following complimentary notice of
the above Company. knowing the facts
contained therein TO be rs set forth 1t is
from the Yreka journal of October 1st:
We feel it q duty on behal of the peo>
pie OF Northern California and Southern
Oregon, to express their high apprecia,
tion of the prompt and faithful manner
in which the g. & o. Stage Co. have
been carrying the mails, on the several
routes in which they are concerned.
Even the famous old California Stage Co.
OF pioneer days, when running Stages all
the way from Sacramento to Portland,
with a. fine horses and coaches as were
ever run over any r0ad, did not exceed
the equipments and management of the
present company. 1t was cons dered ex-
traordinary last time to make the Jour.
nev between Yreka and Shasta in SO
hours, even as late rs 1870, whiie now it
j, made in 2lH hours from Reading TO
Yr4<a, over miles far' her, with as
mucn regularity as n railroad train, and
this, too, with an immense quantity of
mail matter TINT seems astonishing how
the stage holds Il and leave any room for
passengers. On the Scott Valley road
also, from 1reka to Reading, the stock
and stages are equal u those on the Ore
gon -0ad, and make c1rresp sponding good

pie of FOrt Jones, Etna, Calluhans,
Trinity Center, Shasta, and the country
generally along the route, ns well as on
the numerous branch mail routes Their
line from Reading TO Weavervile, is al.
so run with the same speed and regdat-
ily as the other two first mentioned. The

credit is fully due to the energetic Super.

The following from the Atlanta (Ga J
Constitution sounds like the threat made
in 1860 that if the North elected Lincoln
the South would secede. 1t says The
Democrats of New York might as well
be told now that the South is growing fa.
tigued with their small comicaities. Ii
New York is lost to the Democracy this
Fall, the country is lost in 1880. With
this certainty before her the South will
know how to shape her course. We have
learned down here that self preservation
is ms important ms patriotism. In the
confusion that will follow the loss of New
York, the South is amply able to take
care of her future.

A PERFECTLY safe light for apartments
where explosives are kept is obtained as
follows: A clear glass vial is flied With
boiling olive oil TO about ore-third of
its capacity. Into this Is dropped a bit of
phosphorus the size of pea. The bottle
is tightly closed with a cork. When re-
quired for use the cork is removed the mir
allowed oenter and the vial corked again
The empty space above the oil will then
become luminous the intensity Of the
light being about equal to that obtained
from AN ordinary lamp. When the light
becomes feeble it can be renewed by
opening the bottle and allowing the ac.
cess ofa fresh supply of air. This is
said to be in use in Paris by watchmen in
magazines and other places where dan,

THE 'HoLp-ovER SENAToEs. - The
hold over Senators, generally supposed
TO have been legislated out Of Office
through the adoption of the new Consti-
tuition, have had several Informal consul
tations upon the subject of their Standing,
and it is stated By one of their number
that they intend TO take their seats on
the opening OF the Senate. A forma!
consultation will be held by them in this
city on the last Saturday of October TO
discuss the contingencies incident TO the
situation. 1t is stated on the same au-
thority that the Secretary of the Senate,
whose duty it is to call the Senate to or
der, will recognize the right Of the hold
overs by calling their names ms entitled
to seats on the haor. 1t is customary, and
probably universal, TO call the names of
holdovers before calling to their seats
the newlyelocted mem hers of legislative
bodies. And IS the hold-overs constitute
ose.HALF OF THE SENATE,
And as they will, by the proposed net of
4hs Secretary, BE installed into Office,
they will be masters of the situation, and
tho newly elected members from the
districts represented by the hold-overs
viii! find themseiv es in the awkward pre-
dicament Of holding certificates, bat
hunting seats. This condition of things
is new and probably unprecedented. The
language OF the Constitution is just lit
tie ambiguous respecting this matter Of
CONTROVERSY, though there is scarce
doubt that the intention of the trainers
was to wipe ou. the old legislative re-
gme, by providing for the election Of
men fresh from The ranks of the people
men whose election would have depended
upon their known views on the vital is
sues springing from the changed condi-
zion of things. The Governor ev identity
took this view o! the question in his pro-
clanation ordering elections in all the
districts. Still, his action is not binding
on the Secretary, Ond as the Senators are
judges Of the election and
QUALIFICATIONS or THE MEMBERS
or the Senate, and as there will there
fore be twenty solid votes from the hold-
overs against every proposition looking
10 their displacement. and us their refusal
TO vote would leave the Senate withuut
quorum, the likelihood of the twenty CON
tingents gracing Senatorial logas is by no
means great. Besides, it is asserted that
several Of the newly.eectcd Senators will
vote TO sustain the hoid,overs and reject
tho contestants, Should this be done the
vote OF the Senate being final, the twenty
persons chosen TO the Senate from dis.
tricts represented by members whose
terms of Office have not fully expired,
would have in any event to wait two
years for the coveted honors. Besides,
as the Constitution requires the Senators
20 SO classify themselves by lot that
one>haf shall go out of Office at the end
OF every two years, the ones fortunate
enough to get their seats will ofcodrsc all
draw long terms, and those without votes
will have no power 10 enforce complaints.
