e. Joy Morris, of Philadelphia, an accom-
plished linguist and politician, is prominent
| ly named for Sardinia. Anson Burlin
! games name is also revived, but Geo. P.

an opposition is manifested to his going to
Sardinia.

strong here about this matter. All th,

stead of striving to cut one anotherSs throats
as is the fashion with Office seekers.
