"Toler'ble," said Mr. Maguffin, ^?toler'ble. Down in the custom house this morning I saw a clerk behind the counter trying to stave off a lot of fellows who wanted to get thoir invoices verified. I asked him what he thought of it and ho stepped work it once." '?Think of it ?" he said. "It's a bla zer; it'll draw liko u house a firo." "Think Gov. Haves will be a reform-., er?" "Reformer ! J don't know anything about that, but just look at his war re cord. I waa in a regiment that served under Hifyes at Shiloh. The Governor was a brandishio' his sword And urging the boya on, when along oome a bullet ?nd knocked off his right arm. He just shifted/ai* aword to his left hand, had a ing bim to the bivouac of tho dead, but the Governor wouldn't havo it. He jumped out of the blanket and sprang on hia horse and went forward, bran dishin' hia sword. Will he be olected ? Just you wait and see !" Anatomically speaking, Mr. Magru dcr, the Governor, Is, or was, a man of parts ; much so; but I don't believe they can get him together in time for 'lection. Samuel Jv Tilden. The hour and the man at lost have met. In the triumphant nomination of Samuel J. Tilden by the National De mocracy the hopes of tbe country are ?uddeuly revived. It ia a positive movement for political regeneration. Tho scales full from the eyes of the peo ple in the clear liuht of this proceeding. For the work of reform a successful re former is needed. Tilden is a leader of men, a superb organiser, a profound po litical economist, a determined foe to all forms of public dishonesty and corrup tion. Tbere is not a man in the Demo cratic ranks or in the whole country who is bis equal in all the jiositive qualities that nre demanded by tbe times. lie embodies the spirit of reform that per vudes the public Bentiuiont. Ho has been all his life in severe training for the work to which the people are about to call him. Years ago he fought the battle for hard money agaiust the Uui led States Hank. His haud shows in tho organisation of reforms for New York city and State established twenty and thirty years ago. It was he who strangled TweodUm, and then brought down the powerful caual ring of New Yoik. Iu two years he has reduced .the taxes of the fimpiro Stato from so ventuen to eight millions. He has been the activc, presistent enemy of public dishonesty; extravagance and corrup tion, all his life. He coincs of tho old and reasoned Democratic school of stntfsmen?tho Silas Wrights of other days ; men who held firmly to limited government, to moderate expenditures, to honest and faithful public servioe, and to low taxes, aud freedom from monopo lies. From his earl? youth he has been a Democrat, and none are more pro gressive or liberal iu the party today than he. His nomination is a complete responso to the call of the people. It is a groat deed that has jua^ been dono at St. Louis, larger far than parti sans can comprehend. It' is a deed ?rorthy to open the second century of 1 our national life. The country oould not stagger under this load of abuses | much longer. Its energies must have brokon down, and its poople have be come disoouragod. The only hope of salvation is in a complete and radical change ]of administration. That will be ServU. Servia, tho state (hat has just enter ed upou activo hostility against tho Turks, is ono of the northeromoet of (he tributary districts of Turkey in Europe, separated from Hungary by the Danube, and bounded on the west by Rouuiania, and on the oast by Bosnia. The area of Servia is ostimated at 12,000 square miles, which is about the area of Mas* sachusetts and Connecticut. The popu lation was 1,338,507 in 1873, socording to the census of that year, which is tho latest wo have. These wero nearly all of Slavonio desocnt, and mostly Chris tians of the Greek Church. Among them, however, were 20,000 Gipsies. 1,800 Jews, and about 2,000 German settlers. Scrvia has been under the rule of native Princes sinco 1815, and was put under tho protoctiou of the Great European powers as a so mi indo peudent ,?Suto by the treaty of Paris, March 30, 1856. The election of its rulers is left to tho Servian natiou under the nominal sanction of tho Sultan. Tho present ruler, Milan Obrcnovic IV., born in 1855, sueceedcd to the throuo by election in 18G8, wascrownod at Bel grade in 1872, and was married last Oc tober to Fraulein Natalia TonKeckso. Ho is the foucth of bis dynasty, which wus founded by the leader of the Servians in the war of insurrection against Turkey which began in 1815 and ended in 1829, when the Turkish Government granted to Sorvia a sort of independence. Tho executive power is vested in tho Prince, assisted by a council of five ministers re sponsible to the nation. The legislative powerU exeroised by two independent bodies, the Senate, whose members are nominated by the Prince, and the Skoup schina, or Ilouso of Representatives, whoso members oro elected by the peo. pie. The electors are tho males of the country over twenty-ono years of age who pay direct taxes, exclusive of domestio servauts and Gipsies, who are denied the the right.of suffrage. Scrvia is without any public debt, aud her tinanoes have been in good coudition for several years, The army consists of aboat four thou* sand men, and there are also a millitia service, estimated at eighty thousand men, and a recently organized volunteer service. Tho chief trado of Scrvia as car ried on with Austria, and th<r chiof arti cle of export is live animals. All the dissatisfied provinoes and principalities ot Turkey are near Servia. Bosnia ad joins it on the east, and east of Bosnia are Caoatia and Herzegovina. South of Cosina, and quite uoar the Servian fron tier, is Monteneppfo. On the west of Servia oretheAanubian Principalities, WulUehia'J ^Llavia, know nown as Roumania^^^^^UpopulatioD of Ser via, Boniafl ^agro is estimated 2,800,Q^^^^^^^pulation of Tur key in at about 9, 4, OU ORGANIZATION. The Watchword of South Carolina Democrats. Rooms of The Dem. State Ex.Com. Columbi , June 8. At a meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee, held in Columbia, Juno 8th, 187G, it van resolved: That the following form of organiza. tion recommended by the former execu* tivo committee, and adopted iu several of the counties, bo reoomuaended by this committeo for adoption in all the oounties in wjiioh local or precinct clubs are not already organised. 2.

Woman's Wounded Affections. "Washington Irving wrote! As the doTo will clap its wings to its sides and cover and conceal the arrow that is prey ing on its vituls, so it is the nature of woman to hide from the world the pangs of wounded aflcction. With her the desire of the heart has failed- The great charm of existence is at an end. She neglected all the chccrful exercises that gladdens the spirit, quickens tho pulse, and sends tho tide of life in healthful cur rents through the voins. Her rest is broken, the sweet refreshment from sleep is }*>isoned by melancholy dreams. ',dry sorrow drinks her blood," until her feeble famo sinks under tho last ex ternal assailant. Look for her after a little while, and you find friendship weep i'wg over her untimely grave. a"d won dering that one who but lately glowed witli radiance of health aud beauty should now be brought down to "Jark nc88 and the worm." You will be told of wiutry chill, some slight indisposition that laid her low, but no one knows the mental malady that previously snapped her strength, and made' her so easy a prey to the spoiler. Little Children. People who habitually put children out of their hearts, and close thoir doors upon them, have uo idea how much comfort they set aside?what pleasure, what amusement. Of courso tho little creatures tneddU with.Miings, and leave the trace of their fingers on the wall, and cry and "bother" u little ; but when one gels into the way of it, as most mothers and other loving relatives do, those things become of minor impor tance. Children say such protty things, and do such funny things, tho touch ol their little hands is so soft, the pound of their little voice so sweet; their faces arc so pretty, their movemonLs so graceful ami comical, the whole family j^oes baby mad?and it is no wonder. No book was ever written that is half as interest ing as a little child that is learning to talk and to think, that is developing from a tiny animal into a being with a con science and a heart.
