We publish verbatim tho following

We publish verbatim the following
declaration Of personal rights. as set
forth on Monday by Tom. Campbell:
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, JuLy 4,
1875.
When in the course Of inhuman
events-as now-it becomes necessary
for one man to dissolve the matrimonial
bands which have connected him with
his wife, and to assume among other
good men q separate and equal station,
fur from the petticost government that
he is in these times subjected, he must
declare himself
He must hold these truths to be self
evident: That all men are created equal
to twenty women;
That be is endowed with certain un-
alienable rights that among these is
life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness
away from home.
The history of the married man of the
day Is history Of repeated injuries and
nightly curtain lectures. To prove this,
let facts be submitted to a candid world
not a sugar coated:
She has refused her assent 10 his 90
ing out at night without first shifting
where he is going and when he will be
back-the latter for obvious reasons
but he dare not even grumble.
She has combined with her mother
his mother-ln- law-to make life a bpr-
then.
She demands that be support her
mother, the old man and younger
brother, thereby draining his exchequer
and curtailing his whisky
She demands anything and everything,
SO he let's her demand it.
But what has this to do with the Water
Company. Ii they want the spring to
go dry, why let EN- let it go dry up.
Let Horace 60 dry. 1t would be better
for him; but he won't, as he has de-
clared time and again.
She has forbidden him to wear that grey
pair of socks until she has darned them.
When two weeks after he desires the
same, he finds she has utterly neglected
to attend TO them. Thereupon the ad-
ministration Of justice is INSTRUCTED.
But what has that to do with watering
our streets without the consent of the
Hon. Board of County Commissioners.
She insists-a mild term-when he is
comfortably in bed, that he get up and
see that the doors and windows are prop
erly fastened, and to be sure and look
under the bed. The latter both have
done every night since the honeymoon.
But yet the question remains unan-
swered: Why did Evarts compose sen.
tence of $50 words and deliver the same
And for the support Of this declara-
ton, and with firm reliance of all good
and true married men, pledges himself,
his sacred honor and his life, to be the
boss from this time on in his own house.

We had the pleasure yesterday of WIS.,

Gently taken charge OF by W. Stansfield.
This is Mr.. Stans6eld's old place OF bus
mess, but he has made such an entire
change of things in it that it would hardly
be recognized. The dining room is on
the ground floor, and is large and COM
modious, capable Of seating large num-
Der OF guests. The other main room on
the ground floor has been fitted up as
reading-room, and is as large as any
room in Phoebe. The kitchen, recently
refitted, is 1896 feet, and has the best Of
ranges and cooking utensils. The up
stairs rooms are fitted for regular board
ers and dodgers. Entirely new furniture
has been placed in all OF them; portion
has been furnished as suites for private
families; those for single occupants are
fitted in q neat and tastely style. When
Mr.. Stansfeld opens his baths, they will
be free to the guests of the house. He
intends bringing water to Phoebe, and
says he will supply it at reasonable rates
to all desiring it. Mr.. Stansfield's we'll
known reputation as q caterer will ensure
him houseful of guests. Mrs. STAINS

restaurant, etc.

Phoebe about one hour when (the night
being pretty dark the buggy struck
against the stump of tree. Driver and
companion found themselves on the
ground before they could count two, and
the buggy SO injured that a walk on foot
became necessary. The walk was accom-
plished after about two hours hard trav-
cling. both being pretty tired and sore.
Our friend says he has eschewed all

shooting Scrape at Ranch IL
Meadow Valley Wash.

For some time back land dispute has
been occupying our Land Office, between
William Langford and Taylor Bales and
Harv. Tregaskis, which was decided
against Bales and Tregaskis, who filed
the necessary papers for appeal; in the
meantime Langford made virtual aban-
donment Of all claim to the ranch in
question. On Saturday last Bales and
others were cutting hay upon said ranch,
upon which I.angford made complaint
against them for contempt of court, aud
Sheriff Fife rode down there late on Sat
urday night and served Bales with the
necessary papers, ordering him to ap-
pear on Tuesday in Phoebe to answer.
BALES and Anderson still continued haul
ing and cutting hay on Sunday morning,
when, of sudden. Langford appeared
before them, ut a distance of sixty or sew
enty yards with gun, and ordered them
to quit. commencing to fire upon them.
Langiord fired four shots, upon which
Bales, being unarmed, rushed to the
house and came back armed, when the
firing commenced between them. Lang
ford, according to report, firing the first
shot. About twenty shots were ex-
changed between them. Two horses
were hit, one of which will not recover,
and Langford was struck in the arm, the
bail just grazing the skin and cutting
away portion Of the coat Both partits
were arrested on Sunday afternoon by
Charley Davis. Constable of Bullionville.
Langford was bailed in the sum OF $500,
and Bales was allowed to go on his own
recognlzance. After Langtord was re-
leased on bonds, he again started for the
ranch with the intention of finishing the
job, but was stopped by Budd Atchison
and Henry Price and disarmed. All
quiet now on the Potomac. When Lang
ford first started for the ranch, with the
avowed intention Of driving off the
occupants, he was in an intoxicated con-
dition; and his wife, learning of his 90.
ing, saddled up horse herself and
started tor the scene of action, where
she arrived in time to witness a portion
of it, and let the horse she rode receive
dose of lead.

forms OF Kidney Complaints.
There Is no disease which causes such acute

which the blood accumulates In It's circulation

MATT Or NATHANIEL.
An Interesting Question IN New
Hampshire Politics.

The rumor telegraphcd TO Boston papers
from Exeter on Thursday last, has created
something of a llultcr in political circles.
The rumor was in error as far as the report
that Mr.. Priest was elected senator over
Matt Head in the second district. An in
quiry into the matter brings to light
rather curious political story. There is
presumed to be no choice in the district, as
per the vote of the ninth of March, and
the rumor that Priest is elected over Matt
Head originates from an informality in re-
gard to the vote for Head that may posi-
bly, result in his vote being thrown out en-
tiiely. An interview with the leading
democratic politicians results in an eXpla-
nation of the matter this way. The repub-
lican votes for senator in that district were
cast for Matt Head, and the democrats
claim that according to the constitution of
the state the vote must be thrown out, or
counted as blank. The democrats claim
this on the ground that Mr.. Head was
christened Nathaniel; and though generally
known as Matt, has within few years af-
fixed his signature to documents of import
ance as Nathaniel The democrats claim
that the town records and documents il
their possession prove this to be true. The
matter will call forth considerable COM
ment, and will raise quite breeze in po-
litical circles. To put the matter fairly,
this is the first installment of the June
fight, and is a sample of the jobs that the
wicked politicians of both parties are liza
bic to put up to further the ends of party.

money from respectable parties under false
pretenccs. He represented himself to be a
surgeon OF the Cunard steamship company,
and by his pleasing manners and good adj
dress succeeded in obtaining large sums of
money from several Boston physicians. He
presented checks drawn on the Central
bank, corner of fremont and Boyleston

The climax of his career was reached Mon

Messrs. Hook on fremont street, and re-
presenting himself TO he the agent of a
large and flourishing society in England,
and empowered to purchase one of their
best organs, handed to the superintendent

gested that he go to the st. Marys church

suspicion that all was not right entered the
mind of a Mr.. Knowlton, whomade one of

A WINGED House.

Charles Warren Stoddard writes as fol-
lows of the holy house of Loretto: "On
the 10th of December, 1294-three years
and seven months from the date of its ap-
pearance in Dalmatia-the holy house was
again miraculonslv transnortnd Some
shepherds watt
shores of the lC &C. t~rI
Recanati. Sudo ta lou
seemed to be CT ngr
hands, crossing
scended into little wood about a lu,lo anu
and a half from the seashore. AS soon as
it was broad daylight the shepherds has
tened to the spot where they had seen the
house descend, and there they found it,
it, without stone loosened or beam mis-
placed. Without delay thew FASTENED to
Recanati and related what they had seen.
Their story was of course discredited. They,
however, persisted in their assertions, and
finally some of the citizens of Recanati de-
termined to accompany them to the wood.
Upon arriving at the spot the house was
discovered to be exactly what the shepherds
had described, and as the wood in the midst
of which it had descended belonged to q
lady named Lauretta, or Loretta, the house
was called the holy house of Loretto. IN
fortunately the holy house rested at some
distance from the main road it was sur
rounded by thicket of trees and the many
pilgrims who visited took with them gifts
very often of great value. The conse-
quence was that the place became infested
with robbers. After time few people
dared venture to visit the miraculous
chapel, and it was finally abandoned. For
the third time the holy house was conveyed
from its resting place, and suddenly made
its appearance on an eminence near the
puclic road that led to Recanati. The hill
on which the house rested was the property
of two brothers who lived IN the city. As
soon as it became known that the house
had again by some invisible power been re-
moved and deposited in place where it
could be visited with comparative safety,
crowds of the faithful duly flocked to 1t,
and few left it without depositing some
thank. offering of substantial nature.
The brothers, seeing the treasury of the
house daily increasing, determined 10 seize
the same, but disagreed us to the proper
division of the spoils, and while they were
still disputing the winged house again took
flight, and rested upon the spot it now oc-
cupies. 1t was then enclosed on the north,
south and east sides by rude brick walls
placed some distance from the sides of the
house, An altar was built against the en-
terror of the south wall, and above it was
spread large portico, which served as
church"
