I knew hi ni for a gentleman By signs that never fail; His co it was rough and rather worn, His cheeks were thin and pale A lad who had his way to male, With little time for play I knew him for a gentleman By certain signs to-day. lie met his mother on the street; Off came his little cap. My door was shut, he waited there Until I heard his rap. He took the bundle from my hand, And when I dropped my pen, lie spraDer to pick it up lor me, This gentleman of ten He docs not push and crowd along, His voice is gently pitched. He does not fling his books about As if he were bewitched. He stands aside to let you pass, - He always shuts the door. He runs on errands willingly To forge and mill and store. He thinks of you before himself, He serves you if he can. For in whatever company The manners make the man. At ten and forty 'tis he same, The manner tells the tale, And I discern the gentleman By signs that never fail. The Passing or the Poets. Whittier's death partb the last prominent link that connected with the present the personality of the .New England antis.avery movement and of the intellectual influences of which it was one ex pression, lie had survived so long that this part of his history had been almost forgotten and a benign old ago had bronght Mm honor and affection and a distinction not exactly measured by his artistic achievement. The lasting estimate of a work of art is independent of the ehsractcr of the artist, bnt iiit h:s lifetime that character rightly counts in tne esteem ot bis coun trymen, at least when, as in Whith tier's case, it stands forth in the character of h"'s verse, its sweet simplicity, its moral earnestness and sympathy. The social and political condi tions which produced Whittier produced also a great group of writers, thinkers, agitators, poets and men of affair?, whose influence was . felt, throughout:' the .nation; but among them all no one kept s j close a touch as he with his im mediate environment and remained so distinctively the poet of rural New England and its characteris tic home life. His youth was without artistic training and throughout the time when literary habits must be formed, he was too busy in his newspaper work to pursue, art otherwise than as a means for the conveyance ot argu ment or instruction, so that he never acqufred that line aesthetic Ecnse that would have preserved his verse from the imperfections of form and frequent lapses into com monplace which limit hiB achieve ment. But the plain readers whom he especially addressed were not more sensitive than he, and so of ten he gives us a worthy thought worthily expressed, so simple and earnest is his view and bo truthful his portrayal ot. familiar beauties in nature and in life, so constantly he touches the chord ot human sympathy, that his wide popularity is not only easily to be understood, but entirely to be rejoiced in. Of all the famous group, of New England poets Dr. Holmes now remains alone. The are plenty of men and women writing poetry and their general average no donbt is higher than the average of a generation back; but there are no conspicons leaders among them and , they do not hold the public ear as did Bryant and Longfellow and Lowell, Emerson and Whittier and others who have parsed away. It may be that the thought of the time seeks other methods of ex preseion; it may be that the condi tions of life are less favorable to poetical development; it may be only that we pay "our poets less attention. Whatever . the reason the fact remains and Whitter'a seems practically to close a chap ter, and an important one in American literary history.

If any one had heretofore been of the opinion that Democracy in Wayne county was on the wane they had but to confrontHhe full array of delegates from the sev eral townships and precincts as they sat together in convention yesterday to haye all their doubts allayed and their con victions made stronger than ever be fore that Wayne county is the tryst ing ground of Democracy- and the staunch, aggressive..- champion of white supremacy. Many of the doubters and weaken ing ones who had come to look on who had of late held aloof, or entire ly .withdrawn from affiliation with Democratic deliberationsmany who had thus come to see what they might see, grew interested, were awakened to a realization of whither they were drifting, .and the old faith returned to them w arm.

Stevens was requested to act as temporary secretary. The temporary organization was made permanent, and the convention declared open, for business. The first thing that engaged the attention of the body was the en dorsement of the nominees for Tax Collectors for the several townships, who have to be voted for over the entire county. This was unanimously done and they are as follows : TOWNSHIP TAX COLLECTORS. Goldsboro Township Willis A Denmark, Fork Township William U. Grantham. Grantham's Township Josegh E. Byrd.

WHITTIER DEAD. Sketch of the Life of the Quaker Poet and Abolitionist. Hampton Falls, N. H., Sep tember 7. John G. Whittier died at 4:30 this morning. He passed away peacefully. His nearest relatives and Dr. Douglass were at his bed side when day came, and he seemed to be conscious of his surroundings at the last moment. The -funeral takes place at Amesbury, Massachu setts, at 2-30 " p. m. ' Saturday next. l John Greenleaf Whittier was born at Haverhill, Mass., on December 17, 1807. His parents were members of the Society of Friends, and to the principles and practices of this sect he conf onned during his life. Whit tier's first occupations were those of a farmer's boy, with all the attend ant freedoiu and outdoor life, and he thus early acquired the love of na ture and simple life which marked his career. His , early schooling must haye been exceedingly ! scanty, being confined to the district schools. ! While jet in his 19th year he con tributed anonymous verse to the Free Press at . Newburyport These verses attracted the attention of W. L. Garrisoo, the editor of the journ- aL who sought out the young poet and the two men became firm and fast friends. After the death of his father young Whittier lived on the old farm, although" industriously contributing to a number of journ als. From 1829 he was successively editor of the ; American, Manufac turer at Boston, the Haverhill ' Ga zette, and the New Enqland Weekly , Revieio. In 1836 he became 'secre taiy of the American Aoti-Slayery Society, and . afterward removed to Philadelphia, where during 1838-'39 he edited the Pennsylvania Freeman and where his office was sacked and burned by ' a mod. In 1840 he removed to Amesbory, Mass., where he spent nearly all the remainder of bis life in literary la bors. Up to the time of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation his pen was always active in the abolition cause. . The task of the modern musician is a far more important and serious one than formerly. It requires now a more thorough training of the in tellectual powers , in. order tr keep abreast, with the advancement' of tne modern art spirit as evinced in the scores of our great symphonists and operatic composers.

Mr. Long was the agent for the North Oakoiioa 1 railroad at Salisbury from August, 1868, to October. 1869 a little over, rie yearv He bad aci ven bond in the sum of $10,000 for trM faithful and honest conduct of the ' duties' per taining' to the tmBt. The railroad company 'soon ' foand that .. they were not making full and complete returns of the effice. He was dis missed Irom the service, and an investigation was at once instituted which developed the fact that he had been unfaithful to the employ ing company to the use of several thousand dollars., f : r An action was instituted iy the company to recover the amount of hir defalcation. The suit was bronght in this, Alamance county, it being v the tlomicle of the company, and ; npon trial a verdict was rendered by a iury for the Sam J of 3 $5,951,94 against dofendent Long in favor of the plaintin company. - All - tne records of the proceeding judg ment and all, are now on file in tho office of the Clerk of the Su perior Court of Alamance county. And the judgment has not been satisfied to this day. Several years ago, when said Thomas B. Long began to' aspire to political honor he went to, Col. T.M. Hplt,then ; President of N.C. K. 4. Uo., now Governor, of our Commonwealth, and asked the company's best terms for the ad justmentof the matter. Col. Holt proposed to remit all interest and to accept fifty cents on the doliar as full satisfaction of the judgment. Mr. Long said the proposition was liberal and satisfactory, and that he would pay it off. Already sev eral years have elapsed and Mr. Long has not paid a penny of it. - . Such is the record" of the man and former Republican , whom "the people's party ;has non-mated for State Auditor, whose business it isJ briefly stated, to manage the fi nances of the State. Should such a man be chosen to take charge of the State financef , how long would it be before it wonld ' bank rupt the State! A defaulter to manage the finances of the State would be a public disgrace and calamity. The people who believe in honett government and faithful public servants should see to it only honest and capable men are nominated and elected to of fice.' . THE WRITING ON THE WALL. s Jn another column this morning will be found good news for Democ racy from Arkansas. As the Charlotte Observer says, the overthrow of the People's party in Arkansas Monday,' following upon the heels of the disaster which over took it in Alabama less than a month ago, should convince the most pur blind of its devotees that there is nothing for it, in any Southern State. If it could not succeed in Arkansas it cannot succeed : any where,' for there was 'practical fusion there between this -hybrid- concern and the Republicans, making it more hybrid still, though," it ap pears, no stronger. The straight Democracy has " swept the State by an old-time majority, showing that the real party of the people is still firmly entrenched in their hearts. From the day that Weaver was nom inated the course of the Third party in every Southern State has been downward, and so far as NorthCar olina is concerned, it can -with truth be said that every convention held Statey districts and county has accelerated its movement toward the foot of the hill. The good men in it should not stand out . longer against reason; nothing but defeat awaits this airy, ill-advised crusade, and they cannot afford to break their Democratic records for naught. Let them lay aside false; pride' and re turn to the party of their first'affect tion8 before they commit "the pyert act of voting without reason against the' party with which their interests lie. - ff-f .-3-;r " I" r ': - . i Most teachers blame the pupil for his lack of interest, when the fault lies in themselves for , not presenting the lessons in a way to excite curi osity. - With cmbsityexcited pupils progress rapidly.; Teachers should remember' that curiosity is the mother of 1 investigation.

C. R. R. Board of Directors Announce a 2 per cent. Dividend on the Capital Stock of the . Road fi tobePaid on October 1st... f The Board of Directors of the A. & N. B. IL met in special session in this city: yesterday, President W. S. Chad wick presiding, and the full membership of the Board being in attendance. The purpose of the meeting was to determine what dis position to make of the surplus that had rccumulated in the hands of the Treasurer of the company, under President Chad wick's able ;and ag gressive administration. After a prudential consultation the Board unanimously decided to declare a dividend of 2 per cent, on the capital stock of the company, to be paid on and atter the first of Oc tober. To pay this dividend will require $36,000, of which sum $24,000 will go to the State of North . Carolina, which owns two- thirds of the stock. This reads like a fairy tale! The A. & N. C. B. R. the "Old Mullet" declaring a dividend! And yet it is true. The first in the whole history of the road, that covers nearlv forty years. And this fact becomes the more commenda tory of President Chadwicks's ad ministration, when we consider that he icame to the Presidency of the road under many adverse circumstances, that the road wa deeply' in debt a floating debt of over $30,000 the rolling stock badly run down, the locomotive equipment very bad and insufficient, etc Since he took hold the' floating debt - har been paid off, the "rolling stock repaired and enlarged, three new passenger cars including a handsome chair car, have been purchased, two large locomotives, also, and the old locomotives thor oughly repaired and all paid for: so has the annual interest on the mortgage debt. When we consider all these en cumbrances and expenditures that haye been sustained within the three years of Mr. Chadwick's administra tion, and the further fact, that be sides paying $36,000 for the above dividend there is yet a sufficiency in the treasury to cover current and incidental expenses, it becomes a matter of wonder as well as of con gratulation, that the road has ac complished so much under his re gime. It was meet,indeed, that the Board of Directors should hare passed, as they did, a resolution commendatory of Mr. nhadwick for his pre-eminent success. . A BROTHER'S TRIBUTE.

Vermont has given Harrison an awfnl elnmn. and the ReDnblican . g- i - leaders of both New England and the nation will understand it. The majority for Governor is less than 19.000, and that is much the smallest majority ever given in i Presidential year since the organi zation of the Republican party. Four years ago Vermont gave Harrison a grand send-on by r.ou ing up 29,000 Republican majority for4Goyernor and Maine followed with 18,000. It was accepted by all as notice that the New Eng land Republicans were united and enthusiastic for Harrison. The result was that all the New Eng land States were carried for Harri son by large majorities, with the single exception of Connecticut that was saved for Cleveland by only 300 majority. Now Vermont has fallen far below the smallest September Re publican maiority giyen in a Pres- idential year, and Maine is next certain to follow with another slumpby giying from 10,000 to 12,000 maiority instead of the more than 18,000 giyen four years aaro: These results will not be misunderstood by any of the party lendere. They will mean that New England is not united and earnest tor Harrison, and that the Republicans must make desperate battle for New Hampshire, Maesa chnsetts and Rhode Island with nearly even chances against their success. The people of Vermont did not give fiarrison this awful slump by accident. They have only one po htical battle in every four years, as all their other elections are un contested. They must come to the front in September of each na tional contest and put out the fingerboard of party unity and earnestness or of party indiffer ence. In 1879 and again 1884 when the Democrats carried the countrj, Vermont fell down to less than 24,000 and 23,000 respec tively, while in winning years the majority went up to 26,000 or to 29,000. Now the worst slump of all comes with less than 19,000 majority, and that means that even Massachusetts is trembling in the scale. The Republican leaders well understood the importance of a large maiority in Vermont. " The ablest speakers of national fame, such as McKmley and Batter worth, were sent there, and Sena tor Proctor, who left the Harrison Cabinet to enter the Senate, put the issne distinctly in his Rutland speech when he said ; , "If the Republican party maintains its average majority it will be hailed as a Republican victory, it the Democrats reduce ' that majority it will be heralded far and wide as an omen of Democratic success in the nation." Of course, explanations are al ways offered by party organs; but the foregoing public proclamation from Senator Proctor told the exact truth. The people of Ver mont heard the Jableet Harrison champions and then gave them the awtulest political slump ot modern contests. Philadelphia Times. " Tammany in liine. We guess that we guessed right when we guessed that Mr. Hill had not yet entered into the political battle-field, because he considered it more politic to stand with his Tam many-Hall triends, and lead them by degrees up to the support of Mr. Cleveland. It may . have been un necessary for him to do so, tut there is 1 Xto telling. Sometimes even as powerful and reliable an organiza tion as Tammany needs good advice from wise friends. We remember well that speaking for Tammany Hall at St. Jjouis in 187.6 the lately- deceased United States Senator Kernan told the Virginia delegation that Democrats would carry New York State in spite of the nomina tion ol Mr. Tildeo, for President of the United States. . Tammany had 200 representatives at St. Louis. And so we have no doubt that ' the Tammany representatives at the New York love-feast of last week assured Mr. Cleveland's representa tives that Tammany would be found in the forefront of the battle from now until election day.' Mr. Hill, as we said yesterday, no doubt thought it would be the best policy for him to seem to follow Tammany rather than to lead it. The hand of Tammany is to be seen in the resolutions offered by Mr. Bourke Cockran at the Friday night meetine. That itf to sav. Tammany ites, Hke the Southern Democrats, regard the force bill as the most im portant issue inyolved in thecurrent campaign. The Tammany resolu tions endorse the resolutions of the Chicaeo convention en bloc, but afterwards single ont the Republi can force bill for separate and spe cific condemnation, just as the Soother a States have generally done. The Tammany resolutions denounce, " as tending to subvert our constitu tional system, the Kepnblican policy of establishing Federal control of elections throughout the country, whether that control be exercised by artisan boards, such as the Kepub lcans contemplated when in power, or by non-partisan boards, such as A J . l- - . J . tJiS tne xrresiaent unaer stress ui puiin cal conditions declares that he is now ready to accent ". . When the bugle sounds Tammany will be found aligned with the Dem ocrats of the whole Union, and Mr. Hill will be found at the head of the famous organization pointing ont the way ana leading the gallant Democracy to another triumph over the Republican malienants. The election does not seem to be so near at hand in New York as it seems to be to us here. In the Empire State both parties ' usually favor short campaigns. The people do not seem to be as fond of politics as we are here in Virginia, and so the cam paigns are usually made much shorter in New York than here, Anyhow, we may look forward to a fierce arraignment of the Kepubu can party in that great State. Tam many will make it red-hot for the Republican malignants, and will on the 8th-of November roll up such a majority for Cleveland as will teach the Republican sectionalism that they have lived too long. The glad tidings that New York stands with her sister States of the South will be sent throughout the length and breadth of the land. It will be a victory for the real friends of the Constitution and for the supporters of law and order. It will be a vic tory for the whole country not for a gang of jectionalists. It will be a victory that will not need to be sup plemented by another such triumph iu order to the entombment of the Republican party. It will be a vic tory that will consign that party "To the vile dust from whence it sprung Unwept, unhonored, and unsung". Well done, Tammany. Richmond Dispatch. CONCERNING MR.
