The opponents of theindependentp party
have been here and delivered themselves
of an explanation and definition of the
principles of this offshoot, but we fail to
see anything different from the old re-
publican platform. Here it is, in nut
shell, as told us by DIR. ---: An old
darley was sitting on log mapping,
when a snake crawled up and, installing
his toe for frog, swallowed it. The
darkey awoke and began tossing his foot
about in lively manner, endeavoring to
get from the reptile, but his efforts were
futile. At last his master came along
and, seeing the sad condition of his old
slave, picked up hoe and raised it for
the purpose of killing the snake, when
the old darley cried out: "Hold, Massa
John. cut close to the tail. for there is a
heap OF Niger in dat snakes belly.
From the remarks of the president of the
republican club at this place, we are
made to believe that this independent
movement is d sly way of getting a re-
publican set of officers elected in this
state. The chairman of the republican
club here stood up and introduced the
speakers, Hind and Pope, and told the
audience that these men were here for
the purpose of addressing them in the in
terest of the old republican party, which
he and all good republicans present had
learned to love. What does this ali sig

dents are being received to the bosom of

The candidates for the Office Of tax as
SCISSOR were then introduced, and each
made his little speech.
S. Z. Timmons complimented the NOM
inees in a most graceful manner, but
asked the democrats present not to vote
for him unless they believed he could DO
the work better than the boys
Mr.. Benjamin T. Boyd said no elo-
quence was needed in the discharge of
the tax assessors duties, therefore. he
would make no display Of his latent
powers to eclipse the gentleman who had
preceded him But he was a horny
handed son Of toll, " who would work as
hard as an officer as he had done to
make an orange grove, Besides he
thought the ladies should talk fer him,
and gentlemen should vote for him in
pity; his opponents were married men
and should be allowed to stay at home,
while he, being only bachelor, should
be sent through the county to make ac-
quaintance with the ladies.
Mr.. John z. Marshall Acknowledged
he was married, but said if he did be-
come a candidate, the voters should com
pare him with his opponents, and vote
for one whose personal appearance would
be a credit to the county. PAL.

freemen, and, lastly, he told his hearers
most solenanly that it reminded him of
time when the Saviour of dying world
went forth through the enemy's land
preaching repentance, but was reviled
and spat upon. He addressed his audi
ence as men, and not as members of any
party; for he believed that both great Iii
visions of the commonwealth had denied
the faith and gone astray, so he pleaded
with every one to vote for him as the
mediator and saviour of the people OF
Florida The great Independent move
ment was to act as a panacea for the
wrongs of both parties. He does not
claim the honor OF having worked this
Independent movement, but lays it on
the Almighty, and says He is responsible
for it all. Unfortunately business called
us away, and we failed to hear how he
slashed poor Governor Bloxham for Civ
ing away the domain of Florida. So we
leave the subject for other ADLER pens to
show him up throughout the state.

Crescent City Chins.

Thursday, at half-past ? o'clock, the
little steamer arrived at the dock, laded
with the Hon Frank Pope and Mr.
Kinds, with escorts of three or four
others Thirty-five colorod voters, 10
white republicans and Is democrats, as
sembled to hear what the speakers had to
say.
Mr. Kinds was first to electrify this i'm
mense crowd, with his flowing, fluent
and eloquent vociferations. His first at
tempt was to explain why his auditory
was so meagre and diminutiye. He then
with astounding precision and exacti-
tude, made plain the fact that the repub-
hcan party had been sold out by Il set of
dissatisfied, sore-headed and low, mean
men, and stated most emphatically that
no straight-out republican could ever be
elected to any Office in the state of Flori
da! because they would never receive a
fair count. He fought the democrats
through his entire speech, and we think
him very inconsistent in thus accusing
one party altogether while Pope denies
both parties. They should train him diff
fently. He says the independents are the
hope of the republican party
He then gave way tothe Hon. Frank Pope
who was greeted with timorous applause.
He said his nomination as the head of an
independent organization reminded him
of the time when Washington was chos-
en- as the leader of a great movement in
furtherance of freedom and opposition to
tyranny, as also to many ether uprisings
of the masses to assert their rights as

Literary Condolences.

The subject of literary condolences is
always interesting. Harper's Weekly re-
Gently called attention to the fact that Lin
coins famous phrase, Government Of the
people, by the people, for the people," re-
sembled expressions used not only by
Daniel Webster and Theodore Parker, but
also much earlier by Judge Story, who
once spoke of "a Government where all the
power is in the people, and from the peO-
pie and for the people" The Milwaukee
Sentinel, whose editor, Horace Rutfiee, was
for some years Minister to Switzerland,
has discovered a yet more curious parallel
in work on modern Swiss history which
has never been translated into English.
In chapter describing the agitation in
1880 for a more liberal constitution, the
following passage is quoted from speech
made by local Bernese Judge named
Schinz, at meeting held in Often in May,
1880: "All the governments of Switzer-
land must recognize that they are simply
of the people, by the people and for the
people" The phrase is literal transla-
tion of the one which Lincoln used at Get
tysburg thirty three years later, and yet..it
is hardly conceivable that the American
President had ever heard of its use by the
Switzer That an obscure magistrate of
the little European Republic and the Pre-
sident of the great American Republic
should uncOnsciOusly hit upon the same
striking phrase, a generation apart, must
certainly be considered one of the most
remarkable of all literary condolences.

The Real GentlewOman's Dress.

The dress of the real gentlewOman, the
truly refined and sensible of her sex, is
never in the height of fashion. The first
study of such woman is to seek the be-
coming: her second thought the good, and
her last what is merely fashionable. She
cleverly adapts the fashion to herself. She
will not stoop to make herself mere flg-
ure for the modiste to hang her wares on.
She has a law in her own mind, higher
than the law of fashion. She wears many
nice things, but probably the most becOm-
ing of them have been fashioned by her
own taste, frequently finished, perhaps by
her own deft fingers, or at least she has
carefully superintended their manufacture.
Many an envious neighbor may have
glanced at her tasteful toilets, cynically OBJ
serving: Her poor husband working SO
hard, and she spending his money in
French fripperiesn All this while her
costume is rarely rich, never very costly,
often not even new, for the genuine gentle
woman remembers the bread winner"
and home-maker, the husband who tolls.
But whatever she wears is prettily made
and never decked with gaudy tinsel, trum-
perry lace and sham Jewels. All is fresh
and simple, good of their kind, collars,
cuffs, frills and gloves alike faultless. After
all, there is no great art in her fashions or
in her materials. Her secret consists in
her knowing the three great unities of
dress-her own station, her own age and
her own good points. Above all, she takes
care that her plainest and cheapest dress
shall be well cut She need not be beau
tlfui nor accomplished, but we will answer
ior her being even tempered, sensible, and
that very rare jewel in the present fast
gong days, perfect lady" "gentlewo-
man" In its fullest and best sense.
