THE NEW DECLARATION OF INDE-
PENDENCE.

Those who believe the world does
not move should read the new Declar-
alton of Independence adopted by
some hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
Oranges in the West at the recent
Fourth of July celebration. But as
our readers have faith in the grandest
and most fruitful ideas of the age,
progress, reform and improvement"
they can infer the meaning of the
whole Declaration by reading the fol-
lowing small part of it:
We, therefore, the producers Of this
State in our several counties assem-
bled, on this the anniversary of that
day that gave birth to a nation Of free
men and to government Of which,
despite the corruption of its officers.
we are still SO justly proud, appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of our Intentions. do SOL
emnly declare that we will use all law.
full and peaceable means to free our
selves from the tyranny of monopoly.
and that we will never cease our efforts
for reform until every department of
our government gives token that the
reign of lTeentious extravaganee is
over, and something of the purity.
honesty and frugality which our faith
ers inauguarated it has taken its place.
That to this end we hereby declare
ourselves absolutely free and inde-
pendent of all past political eonnec-
tions, and thatwe will give our suffrage
only to such men for Office, from the
lowest officer in the State to the Presi-
dent of the United States, as we have
good reason to believe will use their
best endeavors to the promotion Of
these ends; and for the support ofthis
declaration, with firm reliance ofDi-
vine Providence, we mutually pledge
to each other our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor"

EACH one of thousand acts of love
costs very little by itself, and yet,
when viewed all together, who can es-
innate their value? Not the doing of
half dozen great favors in as many
years, but the little every day kind

consequence considered In itself, but
the continued repetition of which
sheds sunlight over the whole neigh
bOrhoOd. 1t is so, too, in family

A Dead Wife's Ghost.

A German of good standing up town
lost his wife by death about a year
ago. On her death bed the wife ex-
acted solemn promise from the hus-
band that he would never marry again.
He was sincere at the time, and fully
believed that he was willing to remain
mourning widower the rest of his
days. A few months ago, however, he
began to feel warm affection for a
lady up town. In due time he pro-
posed, and was accepted. The prom
ise to the dead was disreg irded in his
affection for the living, and the man
was made sensible of his broken prom
Use. His sleep was disturbed and
haunted with unpleasant Dreams
Nightmare, or the accusing presence of
his spirit wife, brooded over him, until
the approach of night was to him the
sure coming terror. His appetite fail.
ed him, he wasted away in flesh, and
his spirits sunk beneath zero stand
ard. Still he intended to wed, with
all these premonitions of evil staring
him in the face.
The marriage day was settled, and
the miserable man made the necessary
preparations. He ordered from the
confectionery a wedding cake, of size
and quality commensurate with the
occasion. The baker was eognizalt of
the mans circumstances, and warned
him against his contemplated step, but
all to no avail. Wed he would. The
baker made the cake. 1t contained
the usual quantity of indigestion, and
was as elegant an article as could be
desired. When it was done he put it
carefully away in another room with
number of other nightmare provok-
ing cakes, covering it with glass pro-
tector. The door was locked, and the
baker retired.
This was Tuesday night, and the
marriage was to take place the day
following. The man who would marry
met his betrothed and his friends in
the evening and was married. The
cake was sent for. The baker with
professional pride, opened the locked
door and entered for the cake, when
lol the cake lay strewn about the floor,
the gIdSS cdSc Was SHiNClCu W plCCCo
and yet not thing had entered the
room in his absence. The news added
a ghostly feature to the groom's un-
happy surroundings. His supersti-
tious neighbors say that the ghost of
the departed signifed her disapproba
ton Of the second marriage by ruth
lessly destroying the wedding cake,
and the honeymoon of the determined
widower was turned into gall and bit
terness.-Loa. Commercial.

which to our mind affects our Repub-
lie as gravely as the Republic of Rome
was affected when Julius Caesar was
offered the crown by subservient Sena-
! tors.
Nor will the question be solved by
any action ofGeneral Grant. Weneith-
er speak for the President nor criticise
him. Personally he does not enter into
this discussion, He might say to-mor-
row that he would under no cireum-
stances accept a denomination, just Us
nc once said he did not believe In sec

not eradicate the danger. No system
is sound, nor are any people really
free who depend upon the patriotism
/ of ono man for freedom. We remem-
her that the crown was thrice offered
on the Lupercal, and that, although
thrice refused, each time it was with
less and less reluctance. And we can
name at least twenty Mark Antonys
in our city who would carry the crown
of third nomination to General
Grant with pride aod swiftness. We
must meet Cesarism now, not by post
poning this question out of defense to
the-foelings of General Grant, but by
meeting it. discussing it and searching
public opinion. If our public men
have DO view on the subject, OF are
silent and non oommittal, We must ed
ucate them also, Having done this
we come to the next step-the promul-

What the exact terms OF such an
amendment should be must be eonsid-

as we have before remarked, he has
a perilOus stake. If he should be re.
nominated and win he will be remem-
bered with those daring, ambitious
men, Ike Cesar aud Napoleon, who
preferred their own gain to the na-
