Lippincott's Magazine for January
opens with an illustrated article on
Spain, by Edward King, descriptive
chiefly of the quaint customs and anus
ing types of character that still charac.
terize provincial life in the country of
Don Qsixote. "Our Floor of Fire" is
the title of another illustrated paper, in
which the phenomena and operation of
volcanic eruptions are depicted and ex-
planned, according to the most recent OBJ.
servations and theories Of scientific eX-
ployers. Mr.. Earl Shinn, the distin-
gulshed art critic, has paper on "Phid
las and his predecessors" full of informs-
ton and subtle remark on the history
and characteristics of Greek sculpture,
with vivid descriptions Of the Elgin
marbles and other existing specimens.
THE Young Man who went West"
presents in a half comic, half serious light,
the claims Of California to be regarded
as the typical American state. A short
article on "Unquiet Graves" by Marie
Rowland, gives an account of the strange
vicissitudes that have beiallen the re.
mains of many celebrated persons, and
suggests some conclusions in reference
to the practice OF cremation. Lady Bar
ker's Letters from South Africa" are
concluded in this number, as is also the
serial story of Love in Idleness," which
has entertained many readers during the
past six months. THE Marquis of Los
sic" is still in progress, with no falling
off in power or interest; and there is a
short story by Rev. William M. Baker,
author of "The New Timothy" The
roetry of the number includes an
Evening Song" by Sidney Lanier,
" ch has been set to music by Dudley
Bxck; al some translstions by Emma
Lszurus, from the French OF Francois
Coppee. In the Gossip. Mrs Hooper has
capital letter describing the great
auction sales in Paris; Mr.. Trollope re-
counts a visit TO the home of Giorgrone;
and Mrs. Feudge celebrates in glowing
language, the beauty and musical talents
of the Nautch girls, and the marvels of
an operate exhibition in Malay. The
present number begins the Lew volume
of this popular Magazine, which we com
mend as one ofthe most attractive illus
trated monthlies published.

ton any thing that will promote their
party interest, regardless of the conse-
quences that may result TO the country
They openly boast that the supporters OF
Governor Tilden, rather than oppose by
force their infamous outrsgss, will quietly
submit to their rulings, and to their pet
innovation upon the elective franchise,
their Returning Boards decision. Now
submission to such, would be a surrender
OF constitutional liberty and our boosted
republic would only be republic in
name. Therefore, let the people assem-
bleand proclaim with no uncertain sound,
that they will resist legally and by con
stitutional means if permitted, but by
force OF arms if necessary. II the worse
come, let bayonet meet bsyonet, for any
people who quietly submit to so gross
an outrage deserve to be slaves.
But we want no strife nor war God
knows we have had enough of that. But
can the country afford to sit idly by and
see the fruits of hard service and the
work of century entirely destroyed by
band of scoundrels whom the people
have unfortunately entrusted with power
and who entren ched behind this Return
ing Board system bid defiance to the ex-
pressed will of the nation, and being in
possession of the machinery of the gov
eminent, lmpudently ask, what mill you
do about IL?
Then let the committee call conven-
ton and let there be such an outpouring
of the Union, law and order loving citl-
zens as will make the usurpers tremble
with fear, for the evidence goes to prove
concluslvely that Mr.. Tilden has been
the choice of the American people, and
it is their duty to see that their will as
expressed at the ballot box is respected,
regardless of consequences.

CURRENT COMMENT.

TlLDEN's popular majority, according
to the limited vision of the Chicago Infer
Ocean, lis apparent, not real" The
frauds in the South are both apparent
and real, and the Inter- Oceans party is
responsible for them.
THE Philadelphia Chronicle urges that
public meetings be held throughout the
land, so that not even the stolid man that
stands at the head Of the government
will b" likely to misinterpret or dis
regard
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
Louisiana returning board has, so far as
sppers from the published evidence,
fairly executed the law of the state" Oh
come now, you know that isn't so.
THE New York Herald says: ave
hold it to be the patriotic duty of Pres
ident Grant to resign his office for the
good of his country" The inducement
is not strong enough. He must first be
convinced that it is for the good of him
self and his pals.
BULLDozING has not exhausted the rad
ical ingenuity. The Philadelphia In
quirer, in a learned article on "Women
as politicians" threatens that the man
who would strike woman, save in the
spirit of kindness and so on, shall be dis
iIlusionized." There's a terrible fate In
store for somebody.
The Florida San, edited by Republic
an IN Maine, n. h. Sawyer, formerly Of
the Ellsworth AMERICAN Eugene Hale's
home organ, says there is no fair minded
men in Florida but believes Tilden has a
majority of the votes in that state, and
publishes an elaborate table showing this
beyond question.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
IF Governor Hayes is d wise man he
will at once consult General Grant
about being Secretary of War under the
new administration A little 'Grantism'
is a good thing to have 1T all times about
the War Department" We should
think that the GLObe-Democrat would
prefer Grantism in the Department of
Justice. 1t would suit its interests bet
ter.

F Profound thinkers are sometimes
absorbed by their thoughts as to for>
get what passing around them. The
story is familiar one of Sir Isaac New
ton, whose frugal dinner was eaten by
hungry visitor, but who thought.
from seeing the empty dishes. that he
had dined, Socrates, the famous phil
osopher at Athens, had his moments Of
inter oblivian Of ordinary hfe. One
morning, when in camp at Potidaca, he
fell into trance. The soldiers gathered
around him in large numbers, wonders
ing at his appearance; but he did not
notice them, nor even the noontide heat
of the sun on his bare head.
The evening drew on without any
change in the posture of the philosopher
and great crowd gathered around him
spreading their pallets for the night, to
watch him. Through the cold night he
stood. still lost in thought, and only
when the sun rose again over Mount
Athos did he start from his strange ab-
snrption. and return to the duties of
the camp. During "a hours he had been
wrapped in meditation, wholly uncon-
scious of the hundreds of curious eyea
fastened upon him.

gThe stupidity that may character.
ize jury is lllnstrateds by ludicrous
sceneIwhich recently took place in an
English court. A lady having been in.
lured in railway sccidsn was taken 70
hotel, where she laid up for several
weeks. When the bill was presented to
her she refused to pay. and referred tLe
landlord to the railroad company for
settlement. Thereupon the landlord
Drought an action against his guest to
recover. The question whether she was
liable for the sclaimiwas submissed to-
her peers" in the persons of twelve
substantial. rural jurymen. After SOL
emn conclave. they returned to court
with the verdict that the railway compa-
ny was liable. The judge, informed
them rather sharply that it was the La
bility of the defendant! and not of the
railway company. that was in question.
Another solemn delay resulted in q ver-
dict for the defendant for 400 pounds.
The judge, waxing impatient, told them
that the defendant did not and could not
claim anything. and sent them out again,
A third verdict was to the effect that
the railway company was responsible
for everything except the luxury items.
Once more they were marched out to
come back at last with verdict Of a few
pounds in the landlords favor.

An IGNORANT MAN.-"After all, /" says
quaint writer, George Washington
was a very ignorant man. He never

and his associates, whose deficiencies
are thus quantity pictured by the hu-
morist, had some advantages which.

reason that we lament the disappear

1 The recent introduction of eleva-
tors for carrying persons to the upper
floors has already made a marked change
in the new architecture of our city. 1t
has been found that BY making the top
floors of buildings easily accessible. they
take preference even over those at q
lower altitude for many kinds of busi-
ness. The light is better. the air ia
purer, the situation is quieter. nine
stories up than at three or four stories.
and when the ninth story may be reach
ed by swlft-moving steam-elevator.
every objection that might exist against
this great height is removed. It seems
strange that SO simple contrivance for
utilizing upper stories and high spaces
should not have come into vogue until
with recent years. New devices for the
substitute of steam, such as hydraulic
power, are likely 10 greatly extend the
use of this very comfortable way Of
getting up stairs. ."-Appleton's.

FROM DAILY OF THURSDAY,

CHRISTMAS TREE AND DANCE AT
RENToN.- Never before in the
history of Renton has there
been such gathering. Delega-
tions from Dumawish, White and
Cedar Rivers lent their "Youth
and Beauty" to make .his coca.
sion pleasant and enjoyable.
The Committee of arrange.
ments were: Mrs. T. B. Morris,
Mrs. E. M. Smithers, Mrs. J.
Jackson, Miss Bessie Terry Miss
Addie Smitbers, Miss Nellie Ter
ry, Thos. Quealy, Chas. Wells
L. B. Morris, 0. Byrd, A. Will
son, J. Brown, and r. Thorne,
and have won honors upon this
occasion for the manner in
which everything was carried
out.
The gifts from the "Christmas
Tree" took place in the new
School House, and long before
the hour for distribution came,
the house was filled with old and
young, anxiously awaiting for
the gifts to take place. The
Committee appointed to distrib-
ute the presents were; Miss Bes-
sic Terry, Miss Addie Smithers
and Miss Nellie Terry. They
conducted their pleasant labors
ia a manner which cannot be
two highly commended. At 8
o'clock, the "Christmas Tree
having been disposed of it's pre-
cious fruits, was removed, and
all who felt so disposed, joined
in the merry dance, and not until
the morning was far advanced
did they think oftheir homeward
return. The supper was had at
the Renton Boarding House,
where IS couple sat down to
the table groaning under the
weight of turkey, chicken, cake,
&c, and many were the thanks
that greeted Mrs. E. NJ. Smithers,
for the manner in which she had
performed her part, on the most
difficult Of all the programme.
This was, in fact, Merry
Christmas" to all, and will long
be remembered as the most pleas
ant affair of the kind that has
ever taken place in Renton.
