Brazil has changed her form 0 f torernment: SV is now a republic, ami, judging lo the lendeney ol the times, Utere appears to be a general gravitation towards republics througboiu the world. We that the object ol government is the preservation ol the persons and erty of met.. Turning to history we discover that in Rome, under the despotism of Nero, aed in l-Va-ioe under tho denomination of the National Conveu tion, men lived in tear of their lives, nud also of their possessions. We find Denmark well governed under an absolute monarch, and the United States equally happy under popular representation. Wbat is the inter cnee? That there is something be sides the mere 1 rraot government which conduces to a pe ?plc's hap piness. Lord Macaaley once remarked it: an essay on the “Utilitariaa Theory of .’.Join* Government ” that H we ought ail" <!.e constitution of tbo-e communities in which, under wliat ,<vor form, the blessingsol good ermueoterceqjoyed; aodtodi^ver, it p.-.-shfe. in what they eacl: oilier, and in what they differ tona those societies in which the xiUect of government is not at laked. ?Jv proceeding thus we shall univo, not indeed at a perlcct tlieo rr of government, lint at a theory wtriiffi will lie ot great practical use, and which the experience ol every seccessNe generation will probably bring nearni and nearer to perfec lion.” lli.-t ry, llicretore, bus Us practical uws. and must torm the bares ol a sound judgement, so cs.scn tial in a county in which the poorest citizen exercises, through the medium of the ballot-box, the function ol gov eminent. The differentiation ol form will not account for the divergence of results attained in the history of incut It is certain that under despotism the absolute ruler is weighted yviih a personal rexponni bilily that mu-t, in h greater or less degree, exercise some influence on his conduct. Under the rule of the majority to what source can nny responsibility be traced? Is a mu jority necessarily tlie embodiment ol all wisdom, justice, mercy, charity, liberty and integrity? Then, lor the the time being, the republican party baa succeeded to tlr« possession of those a It lib* ties ot which Democracy has been posse-sed by the ballot bol, and the minority, according to the rii^ta ol a large proportion ol the press, has no rights which the majority^ bound to respect. To him who is watching, with grave attention, the signs of the times, there will come u conviction i hat the grim shadows ol ultra communism, or rampant socialism, is hovering behind the throne is which majority Bit' and must sit. The point the most worthy off con siileration is this: Docs the term Republic, ns defined by the Fathers of American govern*, nt, moan the sumo thing now ? In Brazil, preset,t, at any rate, it simply rneuns tlio auprumaev ot military lorco over til conditioned masses. la i.. ii,,. u,u United States, it is becoming very t,iett,> ** iat we iiro passu* g turoii'di tentative phases, iu which is to be demonstrated whether the ntlc the nmjoritv will be fouait consistent W1,h , ,l,ul ' : lur “™ount . sd personal , « u liberty and salety of property id which the le; in republic 1 was once the synonym.

A lew years ago a citizen of Columbus loll osw ol Alabama's fill Widows, to whom lie offered his heart and hand and was accepted. Accordingly the couple were united in marriage, ami until a short time ago, when another claimant to the beautiful woman showed up and put in his claim, they had lived very together. it was a great surprise to husband number two to learn that b ind number one was still alive, It was found that the first husband had, several years ago, killed a man and was sentenced to prison for life, but on receiving a pardon from the Governor of A abama, began search his loving wife, whom be had left in poverty to battle with the world alone. Here lie found her, and declared her his. The same love and devotion for him, still existed in the bosom of the faithful wife, who had lived apparently happily with her second husband, a gentleman in splendid circumstances and one of Columbus’ mosl ''cspectable citizens, and she decided to put an end to her trouble, which she did by taking a dose of strychnine.
