WE do not hear the clarion voice of Senator
Thurman in the present Ohio campaign. Is
this complicated case of dsgruntlement. or
simple case of sore throat? By the way,
Thurman has the most remarkable throat
known to human physiology. 1t has been
known to break into dangerous liberation by
the reading of single resolution in Demo-
cratic platform. The Senator had no sooner
glanced at the greenback resolution of two
years ago, than he was obliged to send for
two dozen leeches,a large quantity of mustard
and strong gargle. His doctors also told
him that he would endanger his life by the
slightest effort at public speaking. There is
no other throat in America like Thurman's.

qneri, who, under the leadership of Penn
made a settlement in PENNSYLVANIA; OF David

AT moment when the people of the
United States aresprofoundly exercised in re-
gard to the governments of their cities and
towns, Great Britain is trying to obtain the
best method of local government, which is
denounced as of the worst possible type. Con-
fusion abounds; Parliament is trying to get
order out of chaos. There are 15,45O par
ishes with an average population of 1900, a
large number having less than so inhabitants.
These are governed by swarm of officials,
and cursed by the increase of taxes and the
most odious favoritism; so that it would seem
our English cousins are not without their own
municipal troubles.
