William Cullen Bryant, the poet and editor, died in New York on Thursday at the advanced of eighty four years. io was known mid respected wherever the English language is spoken. Beginning life as a lawyer, he soon a1badlonedl that profession for literatmel c, in which he greatly dist itiguisled him self. His poems are maiked with at grace and purity of a high or.er. Among his most amb1I itiolls works are his translations of HoImier. For many years le had the editorial management of the New York Evening Post, through which he wielded a potent intlluenee for good. He Was a Rtepublicn of liberal views, and in the last campaign lie supported Tilden. A week or two ago Mr. Bryant took part in some public corCiOonies, and was over come by the heat. On his retumrn home he wVas seized with a vort i'o as he was entering his ho use, anid fell against the stone steps inljutring his hecad and becomII1inunconiiouis. From tIle e:fects of this inijury lhe died. His loss will ho .severelv felt. America has not imany literary men of high me1iIt, amid cain ill aff'ord to lose such a muan as8 lr. Bryant was. The Need of Unity. It is a gratifying circumstance that the Democratic party in Fair - field is being so thiorouaghmly organ ized thlus early inl thle camlipaign. Thle zeal displayed now is a pro pitious omen for comnplete siuccss in November. Still it must be ro - miembere-1 thait the battle is nlot yet won, and how~ever bright the pr'os pects are now, a good deal is necces, sar'y for final success. It must be remembered that thle Demoeracy in 1876 won against tearful odds4 only through the miost determlinied action and the complletest harmonly. Thme slighItest dissension betweven anly elem.'ents in the party would hav'e seriously hazarded thio ,result. Any stumbling by the waysidle would have been fatal. Thlis year we have an immenlifse advantage in the prestige o1f former victory; but at the same time certain de,. moralizing forces are at work that were not theni inl existence. Thle task of choosing candidates is much moro contplic.ated and dillicult, a hundrod diverse interests being at work. The people must resolve on two things: irat to select ,the best men to represent them, and second.. ly to support tile nlomlinlees of the party strenuously whethler thley be the choice of the individual or nlot.

PAaAUIsu AMONO Tu1: PAGANS. Japan seems to be a country where men never lose their temper, where women and children are always treated with gentleness, where com mon laborers bow and beg pardon of each other if they happen to jostle accidentally, where popular sports do not inflict suffering upon the lower animals, where a paper screen is a sufficient proteotion against all intrusion, even that of burglars, and where cleanliness takes such a high rank among social virtues as to be carried almost to ludicrous excess. Japan ese manners are certainly very dif'erent from our own ; but the Japanese are a thoroughly well-bred people. "Manners are not idle ;" urbanity. gentleness, and considera tion for othei s, are not mere superficial qualities ; when such national characteristics are found combined with courage, energy and intellect, they may surely be accepted as evidence of an advanced civillz.tion. Foreigners, after liv ing in the interior of Japan for a considerable time, on returning into "into "civilized seciety," have even stated that the manners of their own countrymen appear to them vulgar and almost brutal, accustomed as they have become to a courtesy singularly free from servile or mercenary considerations. -Fortnightly Review. When Peter Cooper was at Wash. ington recently he was "given a seat on the floor of the House," says a dispatch ; but it should be remo,i bered that Mr. Cooper, an originad inflationist, always carries his own air cushion when he travels, and l:e was therefore not so very uncom fortable.
