Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells across the snow;
The year is going, let him go,
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more:
Ring out the feud OF rich and poor
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause
And ancient forms # party strife;
Ring in the nObler modes of life,
With sweetcr manners purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out-ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of fonl disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the Thousand wars of old;
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free
The larger heart, the kinder hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Gen. Candy has announced by telegraph

in this City, on TUESDAY the 18th instant.
We have not seen any general order setting
forth the vote on Convention or the names
of the delegates elected, but we presume
the order will very soon be given to the
public.
We trust every Republican member who
may hear of the day OF meeting will be GER
tain to attend. The time allowed is short,
but we look for 80 to 100 members to be
present on the day designated.

1t is scarcely necessary that we should de-
ny the rumor in recent Sentinel that the
Senior Editor of the Standard has "prepar-
ed programme" to fill offices in this State.
We have asked nothing for ourselves, nor
do we expect to ask any thing at the hands
of the Republican party. The Senior Edi-
tor was summoned to Washington in 1865,
and appointed Provisional Governor, with
out asking for or expecting the place; and
he was candidate before the people in 1865
solely because it appeared to be the wish
of the Convention in session at that time,
and of the people generally, that he should
be. He asked nothing then, and he asks
nothing now. 1t is well known to the peo-
pie of Wake County that the Junior Editor
declined a nomination for the Convention
more than once unanimously rendered him;
and it is not his purpose at present t" ask
for any position at the hands of his friends.
We know of no programme in preparation
as to Offices in this State. We do not be-
lieve that any of our Republican friends are
engaged in any such work as that of parcel
ling out the offices among themselves The
offices belong to the loyal people. and will be
bestowed as they in their wisdom may deem
best Let the majority rule. The Conven-
ton soon to assemble will make such selec-
tions of officers as may seem good to ma
iority OF the body; and the Legislature will
elect two of our best men to the United
States Senate. The other officers will no
doubt be elected by the people, having been
previously nominated by Conventions of the
Republican party.
Even if we were disposed, as We are
not, to take part in assigning gentlemen to
certain positions, it would not be right for
US to do SO, for the plain and very sufficient
reason that we are the friend of all good
Republicans, and what little influence we
may have as Chairman of the State Com
mittce, President of the League, and as one
of the Editors of this journal, belongs to
the party which has confided in us, and
should not be used to the slightest extent to
thwart the expectations of anyot our friends.
The wishes of the loyal people, properly ex-
pressed in Caucus or Convention, will cor
respond with ours; and we expect in the
future as in the past, to stand by the party
and sustain in good faith its organization
and its nominations.

10000 camels. The greatest recorded in

In the south of Scotland in 1920 there were

out of 10000 only forty-ive were left alive
and the shepherds everywhere built up huge
mi-circular walls of the dead creatures to
afford shelter to the living till the gale should
end. An inch an hour is thought to be the

are said to have fallen during the severe
