Efficient Service.

The Bdlttnorean pays the following tribute
to Mr. George Cotton, editor of the Anna
polls Republican, for his zeal and energy in the
Democratic cause at the late election:
Few men in this State did more efficient
service for the Democratic party during the
recent campaign than Mr.. George Cotton
The many local divisions and dissensions
which prevailed during the canvass in the
ranks of the Democracy required not only un-
wavering devotion, but the exercise of delicate
political tact and judgment to prevent the
feeling of dsatfecton from becoming general
To the healing of these wounds Mr.. Cotton
devoted his efforts, and there can be no doubt
with great deal ofsuccess. For sake of party
success, which he held above all personal am.
billions, Mr.. Cotton labored necessarily, and
with an carnestness that knew no tagging, un.
til the battle was fought and the victory won
If any man has deserved well of his party, il
is Mr., Geo. Cotton, and to his self sacrificing
conciliatory and energetic course the great
Democratic success is in no small measure due
The greatness of his triumph may be moro
fully comprehended when it is known that
Mr. Hamilton's majority goes beyond $4,000

"ST. MAUR; AN EARL's WooING," by John Car
roll, of 1.-THE Caves" Baltimore county, Maryland.
is n very peculiar work of fiction, with the scene
in England, though some American characters,
drawn without exaggeration, figure in it. 1t is de-
cdedly sensational, with awcll-constructed story,
which might be regarded as too highly wrought,
were it not that every mystery is set even at the
close The various action takes place in high,
middle and what may be called low ife-though
it does not go so far into the depths of the latter
as "Olver Twist" One of the best characters of
whom too much is not made, is clever Detective.
Most of the scenes are worked out with great
effect; and the destruction of a great country
mansion, by fire, in England in which the heroine
and hero saved by the devoted sclf-sacrhce of
Trevellyan, the Earl's tried and true friend, is
most powerfully written, and the death scene of
the latter is wonderfully bit of tender pathos-
There is exquisite little poem in it, the story
has numerous good points, and is nicely told, the
author Is well acquainted with London society,
and in all respects this romance of the present time
will be found highly original. st. Mar; an Earls
Wooing, is published in a large square duodecimo
volume, paper cover, price ~ cents, uniform with
"LAssommoir," and will be found for sale by all
booksellers and News Agents. and on all Railroad
Trains, or copies of it will be sent to any one, to
any place, at once, their rcmitting u cents in
