I.ippincott's M Magazlne.

There are several articles in Lipp.
incott's Magazine for December
which claim attention even in these
exciting times, which may be read
with profit as we'll as pleasure. IA
Visit to Naples" by Theodore Child,
depicts tho aspect of that city just
previous to the outbreak of cholera,
the state Of matters at Quarantine
ground, where the writer was detain-
ed for fortnight, the street life, So
cial habits and industrial conditions,
not emitting the beautiful scenery
and surroundings. Charles B, Todd
gives the most vivid and exhaustive
account that has yet appeared Of the
Oil-Region of Pennsylvania, describ-
ing the successive discoveries and
sleculations, with their unparalleled
ups and downs, the history of the
different companies that have monop-
olized the production or transporta-
ton of oil, and the present condition
and prospects Of this vast industry.
In contrast of this paper is that in
which Edmund Kirke" concludes
his interesting narrative Of a winter
journey on the French Broad in
North Carolina, among population
whose condition and way Of life is as
primitive and rude as if it inhabited
some region far remote from the
centres of progress and civilization.
Among the lighter articles in the
number are "1'he Philosophy and
Art of Dancing" by Norman Pear
son, "a Western Industry" by NJ.
II. Catherwood, and ''Why Not an
American Punch?" by L. C. Rey-
nolds. "Felicie's Reception" by
Kate Putnam Osgood, and "Some-
how," by Mary Bigolow Francis, are
capital short stories, and Miss Tinck-
er's aurora" is carried forward with
the same interest and beauty of
style that have marked the previous
instalments.
Among the attractions promised
for the coming year, particular at
tention is called TO n serial entitled
"On This Side,' by +. C. Baylor, re-
counting tho experiences of an En-
glish baronet and his party during
q tour in the United States. Those
who read Miss Baylor's former story,
find this new production full Of
laughable scenes and of rich delin.
cations of English and American
pcculiarities brough into strong con.
trast.

p. Eaker, who was not permitted to
attend the social gathering at Mr..
Bryan's, on cccount of business en-
gagements. This party, like the ono
mentioned above, was all that could
be wished, so far as social enjoyment
was concerned. The evening was
occupied with music and dancing,
social converse and a splendid sup
per, such as they know how to set
before hungry guests. 1t was said
by those present that the party at
Mrs. Bryan's, as well as tho one at
Mr. Matthew'S, were the social
events OF the season. The list would
DO too long to give names Of those
present. Mrs. Bryan and Mr., and
Mrs. Matthews have promised to
give . party during the holidays,
when we hope to be able to give u
more detailed account of the affair
and the names of all those present,
especially those of the fair sex. The
young men expect to picket them
selves out in anxious anticipation of
the promised event. OBSERVER.

The December number, closing
the eighteenth volume, fully main

hensiyeness and cheapness. Among
the prominent illustrated articles
are "Tho Dramatists of Today" GA
Ramble Through the Island of Jer-
soy" "Forms of Salutation," "The
Great Elector of Brandenburg,"
The Great Schools of Merre En-
gland" etc, etc, written by popular
authors. The interesting serial,
"The Death Mark" is continued,
and there are several short stories,
sketches, adventures and poems fur
nlshng very pleasant reading.
There are also an abundance of brief
articles, paragraphs, anecdotes, etc.
indeed, the 1873 quarto pages pro-
sent literature of a high order, and
the embellishments number over
100, besides a handsome colored-
plate frontispiece, "Flirtation."
The price is only 25 cents a number,

PENASCO--Nov. aoih.

There is great indignation ex-
pressed here among the constituents
of Mr.. w. c. Mcdonald on hearing
that his election to the Office Of
assessor would be contested. Pre-
cinct No. 8 is included in the batch
o. precincts that bis opponent will
endeavor to throw out. The judges
and clerks OF election i'll this precinct
were sworn in by Robert Dickson,
justice Of the peace, ard it may be
that TIE judges, clerks or the justice
of the peace omitted signing or fill
ing all blanks Of returns proper'J
If so, shall such omission sot at
naught the legal vote Of this pro-
cinct? defy any person, or per-
sons, to show that there was any
fraud attempted in this precinct, or
any person or persons intlmldated,
or that the name Of any legal voter
was omitted by the board of regis
tration, or that the names of any
person appeared on the books Of
registration who was not a qualified
voter.
Every person whoreads the county
papers knows that Mr.. Corbet went
in the Democratic convention as a
delegate, voted throughout the con
yention, but because he was defeated
in his choice for assessor, bolts the
Democratic party, joins the Repub-
lican party, which had assumed the
name Of the "Pcoples Party" signs
a call for the so-called party's con-
vention, accepts the nomi'a ion for
assessor and the result is, Mr.. Corbet
has been fairly and squarely defeated
by a majority Of the legally quail
fed voters Of Lincoln county.
For moment let us view Mr..
Bona Baca's course in the campaign.
He goes in tho Democratic conyen-
ton, his name is placed in nomina-
ton for assessor by his friends, he is
defeated by Mr.. Mcdonald, who re-
ceives small majority on the second
ballot, and Mr.. Baca, like an honor
able gentleman and true, patriotic
son of liberty, comes out in card in
the GOLDEN ERA and tells the public
that he went in the Democratic con-
yention as candidate for assessor
and was fairly beaten, and that he
proposed to stand by his party.
Now I ask in the name OF justice,
will the Democratic party Of Lincoln
county submit to the attempted out
rage? Mr.. Mcdonald has been
elected by majority of the legally
qualified voters Of Lincoln county
and let his constituents stand by him
and contend for their rights, is what
his supporters in precinct No. 8 say

LINCOLN LINCOLN COUNTY. N. NJ DECEMBER A. 1884.

Mrs. Poe and her sister, Miss
Edith Al5erding, have returned home
after very pleasant visit in Lincoln
The fool idea seems to prevail
among 4 majority of the young men
of Mexican persuasion in and around
Lincoln, that about the smartest
thing that can be done is to straddle
a raw boned worn out horse and whip
it Up and down the street, as il there
were a lot of devils after them III
stead of inside of them. These ad-
die headed young bloods always
walk their old plugs until they get
to tie point where they are vain en-
ouse to imagine some one in town is
s~andingreadyto admire their smart
ness, and then start on their FOOLS
errand to the imminent danger Of
life and limb of those who are COM
PEELED to walk in the streets. One
of these hoo docs yesterday ran over,
and very seriously injured Douglas,
the youngest son OF Geo. r. Boall,
knocking him down and bruising
bis head, face and side i'll a most
cruel manner. All arrest and heavy
penalty by the proper authorities
would be about the best break to
put on these fellows whose brains
. located just little forward Of
their spurs.
Sam Corbot and l.. NJ. Clements
started for Deming last Friday morn
ing to contest the election of W. c..
Mcdonald to the Office Of county
assessor, before the United States
District Judge. Those who have
been friendly to Mr.. Corbet for years
past, will learn with great deal Of
surprise and regret his culpable and
ill-advised action in this matter.
The late election, as every one
knows, was conducted in fair and
honorable manner, and the majori-
ties were certainly large enough to
indicate the choice of the people
beyond the shadow of doubt.
Just why Mr.. Corbetlseeks to defeat
their will through mere techeic-
eality, is hard to understand. Even
if he should succeed in having GER
tain precincts thrown out on account
Of clerical defect.-which is hardly
a supposable case-and himself
sworn in, he would still rest under
she infamy Of holding an Office only
by defraudins another man of his
just rights, and by a defeat Of the
popular will as expressed at the
polls. Should he fail--as fail he
will--in his CO, ert schemes, he must
always rest under the contempt Of
all fair-minded men as one who was
foiled in an attempt to commit an
outrage against majority Of his
fellow citizens.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK 1884.

About sixty million copies Of The
Sun have gone out Of our establish
ment during the past twelve months
II you were to paste end to end all
the columns of all The Sans printed
and sold last year you would get a
continuous strip OF interesting in
formation, common sense wisdom,
sound doctrine. and sane wit long
enough TO reach from Printing
House square to the top Of Mount
Copcrnicns in the moon, then ba ok
to Printing House square, and then
three quarters Of the way back to
moon again.
But The Sun is written for the in
habitants OF the earth this same..strip
Of intelligence would girdle the
globe twenty seven or twenty eight
times.
Ifevery buyer OF a copy OF The
Sun during the past year has spent
only one hour over il, and il his wife
or his grandfather has spent anoth-
er hour. this newspaper in 1883 has
afforded the human race thirteen
thousand years of steady reading,
night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like
! these that you can form any idea of
the circulation OF the most popular
OF American newspapers, or OF its
influence on the opinions and action
of American men ard women.
The Sun is, and will continue to
be, newspaper which tells the
truth without fear of consequences,
which gets ut the facts no matter
how much the process costs, which
presents the news OF all the world
without waste OF words and in tho
most readable shape, which is work
ing with all its heart for the cause OF
honestgovernment, and which there
fore believes that the Republican
party must 60, and must go this
coming year OF our Lord, 1884.
If you know The Sun, you like it
already, and you will read it with
accustomed diligence and profit
during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. II
you do not yet know The Sun, it is
high time to get into the sunshine.

TAll the Year Round.

The passionate longing for the vanished
bliss;
The passionate yearning for the glory Il d;
OF each we ask: "can life bear worse than

Aye-answer weary lips and tired eyes,
To violent sorrows, so'ace nature grants;
Worse than the worlds snprcmest agonies,

wants.
When vivid lightnings fame and thunders
crash,
When tina fierce winds lash the fierce sea to

We see the beacons by the lurid fash.
The tossing spray clouds glittering rain

But when b..,w the sullen drip Of rain,
The waters sob along the hollow shore,
IT'S harl TO think the sun can shine again,
Tie d al waves g.eam to living light once

When time saps slowly strength and hope
away,
And the black gulf yawns by the lonely
path.
When the dumb night creeps on the empty
day,
And the ono clue of all is held by death;
look not to faded joy or lingering love,
To wake the power youth aud faith had
given,
Take patiently the lot We all must prove,
Till the great bar swings back ami shows
