PEcuNIARY; INDEPENDENCE.

We talk great deal about our
political, intellectual, moral, and so
ciaI independence all the world has
heard us talk about them. We do
not enjoy them as fully, perhaps, as
we think. How much independence
Of thought has the journalist, for in
stance, who must bid for an audience,
the author whose first thought must
be never to displease a reader, the
orator who must repeat the stock
notions of his hearers, the professor
who has to reconcile evolution with
theology how much liberty of &C
ton has the voter who depends upon
a government salary, or who is in
politicians employ One can not
very seriously blame these people,
to whom independence often means
starvation. What | want to set 10
clear light is this: that independ-
ence in life and thought depends,
more than we like to believe, upon
pecuniary independence it is not
to be had by wishing merely. Indi-
viduals there are, and always will be
who will suffer for their moral or in
tellectual independence; but COM
munities will be what circumstances
make them. This, again, | want to
set in clear light: that we are, as a
community, deficient, in spite of all
our national wealth, and uunecessa
riIy deficient, in the best part of in
dependece-the power to enjoy our
lives. Ia this respect we are behind
our friends in France, with their two
millions of people living upon their
incomes.
These two millions of people are
not, for the most part, either idle, or
frivolous, or wealthy people Many
of them live in the cities, but more of
them are quiet people living on their
modest properties 10 the country,
and enjoying their competence in
rational way enjoying friendships,
social pleasures, family affections,
and all the kindly observances Of
home life in a way that we have lit
tie idea of--in way that the tourist
in Paris sees nothing of.

ACCORDING TO WEBsTER.-A few
months ago an old gentleman was
seen mailing notice on fence in
Galveston A friend, passing, said ;
"Wby don't you have the notice put
in the paper, where the people can
read it ?" "WaaI," said the old gen.
theman, "if / tuck it to the newspa
per orfce them newspaper fellers
would get it spelled wrong, ard then
somebody might think | didn't know
how to spell. The notice read
"Howze fur rent iachoir on

CEnAXaRs.

They arc ike birds of i'll omeD.-
They are as depressing as big frogs
with bad COLDS heard in gloomy
swamps at nightfall. They consti-
tute the class who never made
hopeful prediction, and when slight
check is received say glibly, II told
you so" When asked why they did
not bet on their judgment their reply
is they are opposed to gambling, -
Many of them are not always such
bitter antagonists of sharp transac.
ions in business matters that will not
bear close scrutiny. The croakess
are foes to cheerful hearts. They
are the harbingers of woe. Amid
ease and plenty they d light in mar
rationS OF poverty and Distress
When the sun is shining brightly
and nature wears holiday look,
they tell of the gloom of winter and
the coming distress of the poor. -
When earth is most fruitful, the dole
full suggestion comes from lips that
are given to sadness that ell this fair
scene might be turned iuto the flames
of destruction. The croakers are
always in the dumps. Their days
are ever of the sobby winter variety.
They never change the diahearteu-
Jag tone. The silver lining is never
seen in the cloud. A glorious sunset
with gorgeous coloring is only
thought Of iu connection with. shows
ers they do not want, According to
their theory laughter is only pre-
Jude to death, and fun the maehiua
ton of the evil Que. The brevity of
life and the mournfulness # the grave
10 them constitute the monotone of
destiny. They forever dwell in the
valley of lamentation. For them the
whispering zepbyre only Sigh, old
ocean waves have grumblng moan
and the merry streamlets that brim
with gladness only have murmur.
A real good hearty laugh would
shake existence out Of them. Griev
ing and regreliing form their normal
condition. They have uttered their
croak until they can do nothing else,
and ought to leave this sinful world
for another where the tune must be
altered to another key, which will
furnish a varie,y.-[CoIumbus En-

Henry Hohenburg had black hair

henry HOhenburg had black hair
and a ruddy complexion when he
married Miss Schwsrz, at Nashville,
year ago. She supposed he was
about forty, though he made no
statement on that point. The hon
ey-moon was scarcely over before
his hair became gray, his cheeks
lost their color, and he showed at
least sixty years The fact was that
he had discontinued the use of dye
and rouge. The angry wife wanted
to sue for divorce but the lawyer
told her that the grounds were not
sufficient. The worst she could do
was to desert him, which she lost no
time in doing.

SWIMMERS. 1t is not merely,
therefore, that the art of swimming
will save the lives of voyagers, but
the familiarity with the water and
the consciousness that one can, even
when he must take to the water,
support himself in it for time at
least and until help comes, would
prevent the dreadful panics to which
more than to the disaster itself the
great loss of life is due. Should
every man, and every child, old
enough to learn, be aware that as
soon as they touched the water they
could support themselves in it, near,
ly all of the immediate danger would
disappear. A swimmer, too, can
use even a life-preserver to better
advantages than one ignorant of the
art.

THE DUTIES OF JOURNALISM

OF all others, the newspapers, in
their temporary excitements, should
keep themselves self possessed, just
and truthful 1t is to them the pub
lie looks for facts and for guidance,
How shall it act Alright if even the
news of the day is stepped with false,
hood and tinged with prejudice p
Let it discuss public questions with
all the force and esrnestness it can
summon; but let it remember also
that its first duty is to be fair and
honest; to tell the truth of all par
ties , so expose the real character of
all candidates; to report the condition
of public sentiment IS they are, and
not as they are represented to be by
the oxaggerations or hopes of those
whose wishes alone are fathers to
their thought.-Nes0 York EUening

TIE WILMINGTON 6remen have acted
in sensible manner by electing tn,
ticket agreed upon in their recent con-
vention. This is what they sheuld
have done at previous elections and
thus have had officers of their OWE
shOsing for their government. The
fremen are not only entitled to credit fol
making choice Of officers tor them
selves, but for choosing officers of the
highest character, though in this re-
spect the fire department has been par
tioularly fortunate in having those
kind of officers. Mr.. Tazewell, the
Chief Engineer elect, is well known, and
= respectable mechanic with excellent
and from his long connection

The REPUBLICAN has now passed the
score OF five thousand average daily
circulation at which it has stood 70,
the last few months. Since we have
put in our fast double cylinder press
which runs off sixty papers a minute,
the news boys have been supplied
earlier, the carriers have sot out
sarlier upon their ROUNDS, and more
papers have been scld. At no time
during last week did our circulation 20
below $500, and on Saturday it reached
$500. At the prese 1T ratio of increase
we expect our circulation to reach 6, 900
an the couse Of two or three weeks
more. This large circulation makes the
REPUBLICAN doubly valuable to our

vertising medium, and hough the
