Ancient Death, q masker quaint,
Waits till thy voice grows weary and faint,
And thy foot no longer dances free;
Then, where the shadows of yew trees fall,
And the river flows hushed by the chuichyard
wall,
To his clay-cold breast he folie;h thee.

ATTEND THE CAUCUSES.


The following words of advice in the
New York Tribune will not come amiss
this week in this latitude. Attend the
caucuses and endeavor to make the NOM
nations what you think they ought to be.
1.-The practice of many gentlemen who
would resent, as an insult, an intimation
that they were not good citizens, is singu-
lar. Knowing that the government must
be just what the people make it, they re-
frain from any participation in politics,
and then complain that the government is
ill-conducted. They declare that the par
ty which they regard the best is corrupt.
and make no effort to purify it. They re-
fuse to attend caucuses and conventions,
and then complain of the nominations.
They neglect voting, and then declare that
the result of the elections is enough to
make one despair of republican institu-
tions.
We seek rather than hope to have less
of this at the approaching campaign. We
insist that Republicans shall not stay away
from primary meetings and conventions,
only to find fault with results. Take hold,
gentleman. and help make matters right.
If you are not willing to do this, the least
you can do, if you value your principles,
IS to support the candidate whom you
neglected to select, and whose selection
others had, therefore, to make for you.
The man who will not help in the prelim-
mary work of his party, has no right to
find fault with the results"

GENERAL NEWS.

The Comptroller of the currency expects
to have two gold banks in Boston; two, if not
three, in New York, and one each in Balti-
more and Philadelphia.
About / 800 volumes of / 200 pages each will
be required by census collectors to contain
the names of the inhabitants of the country.
The Imprisonment of Gen. O'Neill and his
fellow soldiers, in Vermont, is said to be
farce. 1t seems that they are under no re-
straint; that they eat with the keepers, smoke,
drink, and do everything they please short of
leaving the prison.
The Tyne crew has come over to contest
with the Paris crew of St. John, N. b., in
three miles race, in four-oared out-riggers,
for the championship and 81, 200 in gold. The
boats will try their speed, probably, on the
broad bosom of the ST. Lawrence.
The ''Roll of Honor prepared by the Gov
ernment and containing the pames of all the
Union dead buried in the National Gene
teries, makes about twenty-seven volumes,
embracing nearly 205, 900 names.
d. B. Weir, of Marshal county, Illinois, is
said to have the largest orchard in the state.
1t consists of two hundred acres of apple
and peach trees and about thirty acres in
small fruit. 1t will take twenty men two
months to gather his apples.
On the fourth of October there assembled
in Cincinnati Commercial Convention, the
outgrowth of the one held last year in Louis
vile. Though composed of representatives
from all sections of the Union, it will be de-
voted chiefly to the discussion of the CONNER
cial interests of the South.
Two hundred and forty clerks are now en-
ployed in the Census Bureau, and the force is
to be increased to three hundred and twenty
five The statistics of mortality and agricul
ture will be completed for publication this
winter.
The New York Daily Bulletin has an article
on the cotton crop for this year, in which it
says that the total crop has been about $685.
600 bales, against 2,43s, ,o00 bales last year,
an increase of $50, 900. OF this total supply
we have exported 2,17O,O00 bales; 1,470,000
bales have gone to Great Britain; 700, 900 bales
to the Continent; 964, 900 bales have been
consumed in the Northern States, 100, 900
bales in the Southern States, and 81 900 bales
have gone to increase home stock. The arti-
Gle shows that while our exports have in
creased 80 per cent. our home manufactures
show only an increase of Ga per cent, it pre-
diets decline in the price of cotton, as the
demand is not equal to the supply, since the
stocks on hand in America and Europe are
5lS, 900 larger than last year.
