lard Derby on the Assassination.
In the course of the debate in the Esglish
House of Lords on the death of President
Lincoln, the Earl of Derby, the recognized
leader of the Conservative or Tory psrty,
made speech, the leviLy and bad taste OF
which we're so marked that even the Lon
don Times commented disspprovingly upon
it. It's tenor may be guessed from the fol
lowing characteristic sentence: "If it were
possible to believe thst the confederate su-
.Lho1i.ies encouraged, sympathizsd With, or
even did not express their adherence of
this crime, ehould say they had commit
tel that which wss worse than crime-a
gross bluDder."
Lord Derby's remark affords a key to the
entire policy of the English nation through
out modern times. The sentiment, ex.
pressed or uEezpressed, that blunder is
worse than q crime, has ever governed the
action of English statesmen. The utter
selfshness and immortality Of the dogma
need not DO commented on. That it has
bsen the predominant idea in the foreign
and domestic policy Of England can be
proven not only by her temPorizing and
mercenary conduct toward this country,
but in the whole history Of her dealings
with Ireland, with Indis, with China, and
with hor. poorer classes Hs homs.- To Otruekis

The severe frost of Thursday night it is

DIR. C. B. LTGHTHILL S first visit 10
Ohio was induced by numerous applics-
tiOns for trestment from parties unable TO
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully trested except alter
u personal examination. His practice has
been go successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
qests OF many citizeDs, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, TO visit several
central points in Northern Onio, making
Cleveland his headquarters SO that all who
desire can consult him.
Fur the past twelve years DR.. Lighthill

ment of deafness and eatsrrh in lis vsri-

the SON Of the celebrated General, Count
de Montholon, who shared the fate of Ma
poleon the First at St. Helena, and whose
devotion TO the person of the fallen chief
is alluded to in terms Of sffscionste en-

In their memoirs. His drst appearance in
French diplomacy occurred ia 1885, when
he became a.tache of the French Legation
in Washington city, under Count de Pom

known as Count de Montholon, was married
to daughter Of the late General Grstiot,
for many years a resident resident Of
Washington. She still survives. He was
shortly after appointed Consul to Nor

DR.. LIGHTHILL-DeGr Sir: Allow me
to express my grateful thanks for the skill
snd kind attention rendered to my dsugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived of bearing. The
loss of this important sense l. certainly
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 10 - degree known only to those who
have experienced it II, tserefore, there
be- 9 remedy Tor this sreat o~il, tha eausc
of humanity obviously requires that it
should ba universally disseminated. l feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, TO give my testimony TO the
happy effects OF your treatment and RENE
dies. Ny daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since esrly childhood. The left ear
mas been badly diseased. Tho right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously sfect-
ed, and the disease apparently increasing
threatening the entire loss Of her hearing.
Il was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in theconveTsation OF her
friends, and for two years has been deprived
OF this source of socisl enjoyment. Hap
pily my attention was directed to your sd-
veftisement and l was induced TO place
her in your care. Your treatment under
favor OF kind Providence, hiss been sue
cesslul. Her hesring, so far IS can judge
appears to be perfectly restored. Whethef
this restoration is permanent Is question
time alone can deterp inc, but present re-
suits are certsinly very gratifying.
