that the remaining halyards took turn round
the top mast, the flag did not fall, and thus it

FANCY DANoEs.-The La Crosse, (Wis.)
Democrat cautions the young men who
can't dance the fancy dances not to go to a
ball with young lady who can, and adds a
few suggestions as follows:
If we ever have children, we shall teach
them these fancy dances, TO the neglect of
their catechism. Not that they will enjoy
hopping around, first on one foot, then on
the other, then on both, but they will have
such good chance to hug other folks
wives and sweethearts. This is the secret
of dancing. No Que can object then but
If a fellow we're TO sit by the side Of his own
wife even in ball room and hug her half
as hard we'll wouldn't there be remarks !
Guess not. (We speak ironically)
Talk about going to picnics, visiting,
weddings, going to applecuts, sparkling by
moon light, sitting on the porch Sunday
evenings, and stealing kiss every time a
star shoots, CHATS the incest game y sleigh
riding by the side Of red checked girl, or
eating happiness with gold spoOn-all-
all these sink iato insigniticance when fan
cy dancing comes on. But then If a fell
low don't know, and takes 10 party q
pretty girl who does and ii be has to get
on cold bench and see another fellow do
ing the sweet hugging of that angelic
creature that he paid his ticket money to
do, it's awful just to sic still and see an-
others arm where yours should be-her
head where 1t should not be-and-and-
we'll don't take girl to fancy dancing
party unless you know all the ropes.

How TO SPELL "SUMTER." There has
been not little diversity of practice in
spelling the name of the fort now occupied
by Major Anderson. The papers are about
equally divided on the question. In Spark 8

shal's Life of Washington, In Ramsay's
South Carolina, in Gordon's History of In.
dependence, Ia Lees History of the War in
the Southern Department. aud in the edi-
tion of Webster's works, the "p'' is used;
but in the U. S. Statutes at Large In the
American Almanac, and ia Lossing's Field
Book of the Revolution, the 'p" is omitted;
and the authority of the latter work seems
to settle the question, for therein we find
an autograph of General Sumter, in which
the up" does not occur. The General prob
ably knew how to spell his own name, and
consequently we say Sumter without the
"p".--[Chicago Tribune.

THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER

From funcu.l
THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER
The stsr.spaugled banner that blows broad and
Der tbe home OF the Free DER the hut Of the slave
Whose stars IN the face Of no foe e'er waxed pale
And whose stripes are Tor those tnat tne safs uare
assal-
Whose ioIds evsry year, broad and broader have
Till they shadow beth arctic and tropical zone,
FROM the Sierra Nevada 70 Florida's shore,
And, like Oliver Twist, are stll asking for more
That banner whose iniantine bunting can boast
TO have Witnessed the Unions great charter en-
crossed;
Which At Boston saw Freedoms stout struggle
And from Washington welcomed its victory won
For our fathers In defiance IL spread.
But 70 US It waves brotherly greeting instead
And Concord and Peace, not Bellona and Mars.
Now support kng glands Jack and the States Stripes
and Stars.
Can Il be there are parrieide hands that would tear
This starspangled banner, so broad and 80 ialr
And II there be hands would such sacrilege try,
Is the bunting too weak the attempt 70 defy
Aasi while its wool Freedom wove in its loom,
She paused in her work, and the Eend took her
room,
And, seizlng the sauttle that Freedom had left,
Threw slayerys warp across Lberty's welt.
How the Fiend laughed and Ieaped, as the swift
shuttle flew,
with its bloodrotted threads, the fair wef running
through,
''Now cut out your web--it is broad. 1t is long
'Twixt Fiend's work and Freedoms, let's hope 1t Is
strong"
And now that the blood -rotted warp is worn bare,
The flag II is fraying the flag Il may tear
For the Fiend cheers those who to rend 1t essay,
And the work he's had hand In is apt to give way.
Now Heaven guide the issuel May Freedoms white
hands
Ere too late, FROM the flag pluck these bIOod-rOtted
strands
And 10 battle and breeze fling the banner in proof
That it's all her own fabric, in warp as In wool.
If this may not be, If the moment bo nigh,
When this banner unrent shall no more hout the
sky,
To make fitting division Of beams and Of bars,
Let the South have the Stripes and the North have
the Stars.

Heavy Exports from New York.

The month of October has been marked
by immense expectations of domestic pro-
ducts from New York City. Indeed, the
value of the goods thus sent away has twice
during the month exceeded $4,000, 600 for
week, result which has seldom been equal
ed, even when trade was most prosperous.
This is a remarkable state of things when
we consider the great value of cotton ex-
ported in other years, and remember that,
at present, the expectation of this article
has almost entirely ceased
During the past week the number of bales
of cotton sent to foreign countries was only
! 200, while the average number exported per
week in 1860 was 4,040. The number of
bales received in New York since the first
of January is 263 COL, while during the same
time last year 382, ,935 bales were received.
Here is a falling of of 100000 bales. The
deficiency has been more than supplied.
however, by the grain for which England and
France have so much need, owing to the
failure of their crops
Since the first of January, 1861, 2,276, ,290
| barrels of flour have left New York for for
eign countries, while during the ssme time
last year but 1852, ,651 barrels were export
ed. The immense number OF &c, 0,27OO01
bushels of wheat have been bought from US
this year, against 9,O98, ,832 in the same
time in 1860. Foreign nations have also
purchased the following artiles il the time
mentioned of rye about coo 900 bushels,
against c, 1000; of butter Is, ,255, 300 pounds
against 1903, 500 of tobacco $4,000 pack
ages, against IS 600.
These figures suggest one great fact, that
cotton is not the controlling article of export
from this country, and] by the treachery of
those who have conspired to destroy all other
interests that cotton might rule, the great
fact is demonstrated that the trade of this
country abroad is not the least affected by
withdrawal of cotton from the market
Corn and wheat are fast taking the places of
cotton, and the end of this rebellion will
prove that to the middle and the great wes-
tern, and not the southern, states we must
look for trade and commerce, and conse-
quently power and prosperity.
