SUNDAY Afternoon Thoughts.

Mr. Mckelyey again, in spite Of the storm, had

We present to our readers the
letter Of Governor TiIdcn, to the
exclusion Of other matter. There
will be few dissenting voices to the
opinion that it is the ablcst docu,
ment Of the day. The St. Louis
Convention pointed out the end.
Gov. Tilden shows the means by
which to reach it. In breadth of
conception, in holiness Of aim and
in boldness of thought, it equals
the emergency Of the nation. In
comprchonsivcnoss of detail it will
inspire confidence like a great light
turned upon a benighted host, and
it is the manifest and the mighticst
exhibition of Craftsmanship since
the time when the Republic had
Jefferson fer its leader.

Letter of Acceptance

ALBANY, August 4.-Governor Til
denis letter of acceptance was given to
the press this afternoon. 1t is as fol-
lows;
ALBANY, July 81, 1876.
Gentlemen when had the hon
or to receive a personal delivery Of
your letter on behalf of the Democrat
ic National Convention, held on the
18th of June, at st, Louis, advising
me Of my nomination as the candidate
of the constituency represented by
that body for the Office OF President of
the United States, announced that at
my earliest convenience, and in con
formity with usage, / would prepare
and transmit to you formal accept
ance. now avail myself Of the first
interval in unavoidable occupations to
fulfill that engagement.
This Convention, before making its
nominations, adopted declaration of
principles which, as whole, seems to
me wise exposition of the necessities
of our country of reforms needed to
bring back the Government to its true
functions to restore purity of admin
istration and renew the prosperity of
the people. But some of these re-
forms are so urgent that they claim
more than passing approval. The ne
cesity of reform in the scale of public
expense, Federal, State and municipal,
and in the modes Of Federal taxation,
justiiies all the prominence given to it
in the declaration of the st. Louis
Convention. The present. depression
in all business and industries of the
people, which is depriving labor of its
employment and carrying want into

cause in the excessive Governmental
consumption. Under Illusions of
specioLs prosperity, engendered by
false policies of the Federal Cover
ment, waste of capital has been
going on ever since the peace of 1865
which could only end i'm universal dis
sater. The Federal taxes of the last
eleven years reach the gigantic sum of
forty-iiYe hundred millions. Local
taxation has amounted TO twO-thirds
as much more. Tho vast aggregate is
not less than seventy-fve hundred
millions. This enormous taxation
followed n civil conflict that had great
ly impaired our aggregate wealth, and
had made prompt reduction of eNpen-
SEES Indispensable. IL was aggravated
by most unscientitic and ill-adjusted
methods Of taxation, that increased
the sacrifices of the people far beyond
the receipts of the Treasury. 1t was
aggravated, moreover, by a financial
policy which tended to diminish the
energy, skill aud economy of produo-
ton and trugality of private consump-
ton, and induced miscalculation i'm
business and an unremuueratiye use
of capital and labor. Even i'm pros

A Beautiful but Foolish Girl.

Miss Fannie McKnig ht, Of Jack
sonvile, ILL.,. beautiful bloned of
sweet l6, took the wild freak into her
head the other day of runnig away
from home. The object was to earn
her own living and have some fun.
Dressed in boys clothes, she made
her way to St.Louis in company with
a younger brother, who jumped the
train as it was crossing the bridge for
fear the police would catch them,
after vainly endeavoring to persuade
her to follW him. At the union depot
she fell into the hands of a friendly
policeman, who took her to the chief
office after she had voluntarily told of
her disgust. Her parents are highly
respectable and well-to-do people, and
the freak originated purely in reading
wild novels and romances,

A Lady-Freemason.

There is story current in regard to
a lady, who, a number of years ago
was made Freemason in England,
under very peculiar circumstances, she
having overheard so much of the work
that it was thought best by those who
discovered her hidden near the lodge
to obligate her in order to close her
mouth. The London Freemason is au-
thority for stating that another lady
has been recently admitted to the mys-
teries. The following is the story;
Countess Hadich has been received
as Freemason in a Hungarian lodge
under the grand Orient of Hungary.
The Countess is highly educated lady,
and, having studied and become we'll
versed in Masonic literature, she was
regularly proposed and seconded in All
open lodge, ballottsd for, and in due
course was duly initiated. The Grand
Orient of Hungry however, declare
that the initiation is null and void, on
the ground that a. woman il sdisqdali-
fed from being a Freemason and the
curious question now arises whether,
as the Countess was actually initiated
she can be refused admission to her
lodge.

Wo1nan's Temperance Work.

The Woman's National Christian
Temperance Union has lately been in session
at Newark, N. j., with about 200 delegates
from the western and other States. Miss
Wizards report for the year sets forth that
there are organizations Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Association in %
States. Miss Wallace, Of Indiana, made a
speech, as did also Mrs. Lathrop, of Michi-
gan, and Mrs. Leavitt, of Cincinnati. They
generally favor arbitrary measures to sup
press saloons. Resolutions were submitted
on juvenile work, the lecture bureau and
Bible wines. A long discussion took place
on a resolution pledging the members of the
convention to abstain from partaking of fer
mented wine at the communion service.
