MUNICIPAL TAxATIoN.-The London Specta-
tor makes suggestion in regard to our mu-
nicipal troubles which Is worth notice. In the
English municipality, the local taxes are as
sessed upon real estate and rents. This gives
every citizen an immediate and active interest
in their amount, no matter how rich or poor
he may be, for he pays some tax proportionate
to the scale of his residence. The town coun.
Gil, q single representative body, unhampered
by executive Veto is closely watched by the
whole body Of citizens, and every increase of
taxation has to be backed by substantial rea-
sons and immediate returns. In New York,
on the other hand, and in Springfield, the
taxes are paid by the real-estate owners; it
collected of the tenants not as tax, but as rent,
and the tenants never discriminate, the great
body of tenant people become Indifferent to
municipal politics, and things 60 to the bad.
We believe the Spectator has put its finger on
one of the raw spots of our system. As The
Republican, some months ago, pointed out,
municipal government concerns real property
more than any other interest, and ought to lay
its burdens primarily and conspicuously on
real estate, as held by the oceupier, whether
owner or tenant The infexible pGll-tax, as
method of giving the mass of men an inter-
est in taxation, is one of the worst absurdities
of our system Springfield Republican.

.Facts are Stubborn Things,

Thousands of human beings are yearly borne on the
swift current of disease down to the grave Just be-
cause they do not possess a sufficient knowledge of
themselves. man meets his neighbor and the first
salutation is, How are you?" or Chow is your
healthP" The reply frequently is, s'Oh, 1 am well,
with the exception of cold. Most persons lightly
regard cold. Reader, do you know that cold is
one of the most dangerous OF maladies? A cold not
only clogs up the pores of the entire system and
tards circulation but it is productive of Catarrh,
which is quite apt to lead to Consumption. son.
you say, sit is nothing but cold in my head.'
True; but that cold is really mild form of Catarrh
and If not arrested in its will become chronic.
Catarrh is one Of the most disagreeabe, offensive af
fections in the catalogue of diseases The passage to
the nose is obstructed the sense of smell impaired
and there is dsagreeable sensation of pressure in
the head. In the more advanced stages, there is a
discharge having an offensive odor. If the disease be
allowed to continue in its course thick hard incrus
tations will form in the head the bones of which
sometimes become softened and break away in pieces
Why will persons continue to suffer from such an an
noying, disgusting disease, when they can Just as
well be cured of it? Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy will
cure the worst forms of Catarrh in fact it is the on
y sure and safe remedy which has yet been offered
to the public. Many harsh irritating preparations
may for time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms
but they not cure the disease. Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy is soothing and healing in its effects, and
when used with DIR. Pierce's Nasal Douche, accord
ing to directions does not fail to effect cure. Sold
by all druggists.

OF the superb imperial euarto edition of
Knights Shakespeare, gotten up by Virtue &
Yorston, twenty-eight numbers have now been
issued, the twenty-eighth amply sustaining the
promise of the first. The admirable engravings,
and fine paper and type, render it very attrac-
tive, and the notes of Mr.. Knight made it de-
sirable to the scholar. Copies are to be found
at the periodical store of Augustus Robinson.
The following letter from Mr. Mccullough, the
actor, shows in what estimation the edition is
held:
GENTLEMEN:-Yo splendid edition of the
immortal Shakspere, edited by Charles Knight,
of London, England, who for many years deep
ly studied the work of the great poet and
whose annotations have SO aided, not only my
self, but every actor. L feel great pleasure
in saying, it is one of the best editions of the
works of the poet, that has ever been published.
Its beautiful Typography, the splendid man
ner in which it is illustrated, the superb man.
ner in which we have brought the works of the
great poet before the world, will, unique stion-
ably, be highly appreciated by all lovers of
literature in America.
believe I am well acquainted with the vari-
GUS editions that have been published of the
immortal poets works, but candidly confess,
to quote the words of Charles Dickens, that L
shall set ssgreat store by the work that you
have had the high honor to publish in this
country, and have no hesitation in saying,
that every student of Shakespeare, and every
member of my profession, will feel under deep
obligation to your firm, for your splendid coz
tribution to dramatic literature; and I, individ.
ualy, as member of it. venture to express the
wish, that the work will have the patronage
that it undoubtedly deserves. Shakespeare is
name dear to every American, his axioms, and
his apothegms being household words.
Permit me to say, that Charles Knights edi-
ton of Shakespeare, as published by you, is one
of the very best that have had the 0pportnni-
ty Of perusing. 1 am gentlemen,
Yours Truly,
JOHN MCCULLOUGH.

The Situation in Herze.ov;ua

LONDON Jan. 1S.-The Times publishes a
letter from Vienna giving the following de-
tails OF the Instruction in Turkish provinces:
Partly from Sincere wish to end the insur-
rectlon and partly from anxiety to escape inter.
vention, the Sublime Porte is making great
efforts to achieve pacifcaton unaided. The
new Turkish commander, Mukhtar Pasha, and
the new Governor, Ali Pasha, are to Cooperate
to that end, the former by military disposition
and the latter by political and diplomatic activ-
lty. The severe checks the insurgents have re-
Gently suffered and the large reinforcements
the Turks have lately received render offensive
operations by the insurgents very Improbable
Mukhtar Pssha seems likewise to have instrnc-
tons not to operate against the insurgents but
to begin by occupation of important positions
on the Montenegrin frontier. Thereby sort
OF Gordon will be drawn to prevent the Monten-
egrins assisting the insurgents, the Turkish
arms being turned against those attempting to
pass the frontier. So far as munitions of war
and provisions are concerned, such DISPOSE
ton might answer, but it would be Ineffective
against the passage of arms of mountaineers.
The sort of truce thus established with the
insurgents will be utilized by the Governors

to draft report of the grievances of the coun-
try to be sent direct to the Sultan. The Sultan
will then consider all the just complaints and
