New York, Oct. 2.?One of the ^
most sensational advances in the his- c
wry 01 Uie COIWII oiUftct aiwuucu rs
the publication of the two govern- I
c
ment reports here today. Since the .
beginning of this season there have j
been many periods of activity and ^
excitement, but none of them have
approached today's movement either ^
with reference to the extent of fluctuations
or in volume of trading.
The demand was stimulated by the
condition figures of 66.3. or the low- c
est on record, indicating a crop of I
only 11,637,000. bales. Within a few il
minutes after these figures were is- c
sued January contracts sold at 17.03 s
or $4.60 a bale above the closing ii
price of last week. 1
The census report showing 4,062,991
bales ginned prior to September i
25, established a new ftign record, a
bat the trade had been looking for C
even larger figures. * e

' AN OLD SAYIN' OF MOTHER'S.

The older that a body gius
The better, seems f me,

An' things that u*ed f be:
like other night, whilst settin' there
' An' rompin' through the years,
' An' driftin' on the bacVurda way,
J swan, I heerd my mother say:
' "Go wash yer neck an' ears!'
It took me back forty years,
An' I's a boy again,
' With\same dislike fer water that
Was natural to me than;
I seemed t' feel my speerit rise,
An' feel my boyish tears
A-rollin' down in same ol' way,
Like when my mother used t'. say:
"Go wash yer neck an' ears!"
Clean neck an' ears, you reckolect,
Was purt' nigh disgrace?
There wa'n't no sense in washin' 'cept
Perhaps a body's face!
We used t' think that mas was made
To add to boyish keers,
i An* stand around in bossin' way,
When boys wis tiredest, an' say:
"Go wash yer neck an' ears!"
I
1 An' yit I'll warrant that toinght
1' You'd like .t' go to bed
, In same ol' room, with locust bloom
A-droppin' overhead
1 On shingle roof, an' hold yer breath
With all your boyish fears,
[ An' hear yer mother softly creep
, Upstairs an'ask/: "Gone to sleep??
Did y' wash yer neck an' ears?"
MEN LIVE IN THEIR DEEDS.
(By Edward Everett.)
To be cold and breathless, to feel
i not and speak not?this is not the
end of t.n tVio men who have
'ibreathed their spirits into the institutions
of their country, who have
stamped their characters on the pillars
of the age, who have poured
their heart's blood into the channels
of the public prosperity.
Tell me, ye who tread the sodss of
:'yon sacred height, is Warren dead?
Can you not still see him?not pale
end prostrate, the blood of this gallant
heart pouring out of his ghastly
4 wound, but moving resplendent over
the field of honor, with the rose of
heaven upon his cheek and the fire
i of liberty in his eye?
Tell me, ye who make your pious
pilgrimage to the shades ot vernon,
is Washington indeed shut up in that
cold and narrow house? That which
made these men like these cannot die.
The hand that traced the charter
of Independence is, indeed, motionless
; the eloquent lips that sustained j
it are hushed; but the lofty spirits
that conceived, resolved and maintained
it, and which alone, to such
men, make it life to live?these cannot
expire.
