New YORK World Democratic) The
mass of the Republican voters do not care
straw for the hue and cry about Grantism
and third term. They do care great
deal, however, about that abomination
which they have been taught to dread as a
solid south Their disgust aud dislike of
the south cannot be overcome before the
election of 1880 by anything that Democrats
ian do in the way of lowering the Demo-
cratic flag, any more than the same feelings
could be overcome in 1872 by the ridicu-
lous and scandalous nomination of Horace
Greeley"

THE LARGEST YET.-The largest organ
in the world is now building in the Stewart
'athedral at Garden City, Long Island. The
eculiarity of this organ is that its severa
parts are distributed about in different parts
If the building, and connected by pipes
One portion is in tower at the west end
mother over the ceiling in the center of the
ave, and another underneath the chancel
Another remarkable thing about it is that
The large chimes in the tower are connected
With the organ, and can be played by the
organist with the keys of the instrument
The whole is fitted with electrical and
hydraulic machinery, which renders the
labor of playing as easy as that Of small
church organ.

sABY FACES.

As wander through the city my gtances
often rest
On the little sparkling faces to the shining
windows prest,
Soft cheeks, like full-blown roses, bright eyes
and baby smile;
All, what wonder that their magic should
the saGdest heart beguile!
I passed pretty cottage on my homeward
path one night
And its windows glowed like crys tai in the
mellow evening light,
And behind the curtain stood an infant
bright and fair,
With my own dead darling's hazel eyes and
waving sun-tipped hair.
paused to gaze upon him, and my heart
was filed with woe;
At thought Of my dear one lying meath the
winters frost and snow;
And longed to kiss the sweet lips that were
pressed against the pane,
For sake of the buried baby-lips, that never
shall kiss again.
Oh, babies with happy faces, and eyes so
tender and true,
May God, in his mercy, guide your life's
devious windings through;
May never a shade of sorrow, and never
thought of guile,
Chase the angel-lght from your sunny eyes,
or darken your baby smile.

RATHER SERIOUS FOR A JOKE
One week ago last Sunday Miss E.,
Of this city, and Miss s., Of Atlanta,
two highly respected young ladies,
a1d Messrs. J. B. Wilson and G. ".
Thomaston, TWO highly respected
young gentlemen of Toccoa, with
others, crossed the river into South
Carolina to visit some friends. While
there they engaged in some of the
pranks Of young people; among other
things: going through the ceremony
of getting married, Samuel Ramsey,
Esq, performing the ceremony. 1t
now turns out that Mr.. Ramsey is
veritabIe Justice of the Peace, that be,
was in dead earnest, had the marriage
ceremony recorded at Walhalla, S. c.,
according to law: and our young
friends are really married, and will
have to take each other for better or
worse, or 60 into the South Carolina
Courts and be divorced. So much
for fooling with serious things.

He was the wealthiest man in it,

This was soon done, and Sam very

The Squire had not received his
money, and he sprang up at once
and called: "Sam! Sam? you said
