Friendship.

What is it? DO smiles, words of
cheer and kind actions constitute it7
Are those who never upbrnid, but
meet all our deeds with words Of
praise, who na'tcr US on .very pos
sibie occasion, 10 be considered true
friends ? Their attentions may be
easant to our vanity and conceit,
and keep us in the best of hunor
with ourselves, and we may think
their company very desirable, yet
they will not do to put faith in, for
their amiable behavior is often the
cloak for self-nterest. The person
who will tell us our aults-kindly, of
course-who will try to teach US to
see ourselves ns o;hars see us, who
will show by acts rather than words
that he kindly regards u, is more
worthy of irus, than one who agrees
with all our sentiments, right or
wrong, and who is equally ready to
coincide with some one else, even if
the subject should happen to be our
short comings. Give me the friend
who has the same love for ms ALWAYS.
who is ready to speak up" for me in
the midst of enemies, and epea. what
he considers my virtues rs all Offset
to the fni!ings they may rehcarse, and
who will hold tase to his faith in nv
truth and goodness in spite of defama-
ton. Such friends may be scarce,
but when found, are priceless treas
ures.

Of armed men, will be unveiled the

Ihc ladies OF the Monument Assucia-
ton TO make one prayer. 1t is this !:
Let the flags that wave above the
marching column on that day be the
flags that once waved above the men
whom it is sought TO honor. From
this historic city, from the mountains
Of the Blue Ridge, from the low
banks Of the Savannah and the High
Hills OF Santee, let those treasured
relics Of the past be gathered ond
sent rs votivc offerings to the great
memorial celebration. Let guard
OF honor accompany them, to swell
the glorious procession, and make
conspicuous this tribute to the dead.
1t is not Columbia that calls, but
Carolina! Let the fla gs float upon

of the vicinity of Bluckstock, moved
to Kansas year or 50 ago. He has
returned with the intention oflivine
and dying in his nati,, county and
State. Just before his return con.
siderable number OF his old coIored
friends were violently attacked with
the kausas emigration fever, but
when they saw Hemphiil, and listen
ed to his gloomy tale Of bloody
Kansas" they abandoned their Wild
scheme, and determined to stick and
stay by old Chester. They prefer
their good comfortable house to tho
dirt huts their clcrica brother told
them about; they prefer fire place
blazing with abundance of wood to a
stove scantily supplied with coal;
they prefer the warm pleasant eli
mate here to the rigors Of the North
west. In short they prefer good easy
times at home TO hard lie abroad.
This accounts for the sensible conclu-
sion at which they have arrived

Damage TO Fifteenth stree, sowor

The heavy fall of rain continuing all satur-
day aud Saturday highland all day yesterday,
had the usual effect of flooding many
cellars in the lower levels of the city,
and damaging overcharged sewers. The
most serious damage was that done
to the new sewer now being laid along Fif-
teenth street. AT IA point immediately oppo-
site tho northeast door of the Treasury build
ing a lateral sewer crossing tho excavation
gave way and an immense volume of water
poured in. The earth around the break caved
in, making hole about twenty feet long and
fifteen feet wide. A portion of tho track of tho
Washington and Georgetown Railway fell in,
and the Gals had to jump the track IN front of
the Riggs House and run on the concrate pave
ment to the junction at Fifteenth street and
New York avenue. The gas pipes, which arc
located about midway of.tho sewer excavation, ,
were thought to be dangerously situated, and
force of laborers were put to work to
secure them. Largo poles were placed side
ways across the openings, aud chains were
passed around the gas pipes and attached to
the poles. These precautions had the desired
effect as none Of the pipes were displaced.

The $4,000 Defalcation.

Tho defalcation of W. N. Roach, cashier of
the Citizens National Bank, was the absorbing
topic of conversation last Saturday, and many
prophecies we're INDUCED in regarding run
on the bank. All doubts in this direction were
dispollod, however, for the business of last
Saturday, as shown by the books, demonstrated
tho fact that deposits" exceeded with.
drawals," aud it is stated that it was the best
day, in business point of view, experienced
for several months. Mr.. Gabriel Chase, the
principal bookkeeper, with several assistants,
has been hard at work night and day since
last Monday examining the books of tho insti.
tuition for the purpose of ascertaining the exact
amount of the dedication. 1t may be safely
asserted that the amount taken by Mr.. Roach
will not exceed $4,000, and may fall short
even of that figure. The property belonging
to Mr.. Roach is said to be worth between
$4,000 and $4,000, and this, with his bonds
of $4,000, will nearly If not quite make up
the deficit. At any rate, the loss 10 the direct.
OTIS will not exceed 5000.
