THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for Decem. Der is out and is d good number. One of the most important and most oppnrtune of all the articles IS one by the Hon. John A. Kasson, entitled ''The Monroe Doctrine m lS8l'. He calls on the United States government to ehectually assert it's supremacy throughout the Western Hemisphere. Then follows a discussion of the Death Penalty. conducted by the Rev. Dr. Cheever, Judge Samuel Ha, d and Wendell Phillips. The policy of Mir. Giadstone's Government toward Ireland is strenuously defended by Mir H. o. Arnold. Forster, son of the Chief Secretary for Ireland. This paper is confesseily an appeal to the judgment and the sympathy of Americans ir the struggle now going on across the Atlantic, and is a graceful, practical admission that British statesmen are not indifferent to the en. frightened public opinion of the United States. Four physicians and surgeons of the first rank namely, Drs. W A. Hammond, John Ash hurst, Jr., J. Marion Sims and John T HnI, gen, review the history of President Garfield's case. Finally the Hon. David A. Wells treats of reform in Federal Taxation.

 in reading the court trials in the New Milford papeis, last week, one cannot but notice that New Preston pans out remarkably. ing before the court on account of jmbibing LOO much of New Milford's mixture of ben- zine, naptlla and turpenline. Watson Cugs- well paid $l7 69 for the jolly time he had Porklane. and she. the darling creature, had to pay $1l A for her part of the circus Re- mus C,gswell, also of this place, went down and took more of the -''nixture" than he could carry, and consequently had to pay $l5, be- fore he could go home. He is minor as are several others who have purchased rum there Is there law against selling to minors? If there is it ought te be put in force. One gains high idea of New Milford justice by reading these court trials when he Sees that minor is made to pay $333 for getting 'iruak and resisting the officer who attempts t" arrest him, while another person of age, and big enough and old enough to know bet ter, only has to pay $l7 for getting drunk and $2 84 for resisting the officer. This is another proof that there certainly is differ ence between ''tweedle dee and tweed e s,,,n Z, The difference may consist in the kind of kerosene inbibed, whether it is 150 or ll2>' test, or it may be according to your residence or your occupation. Anyway there is diff ference between ''tweedle dee and tweeile dum." as we've no doubt anyone can easily find out by going to New Milford and filling up with that villages best mixture"
