A Toronto lady, if The Boston Post has been
rectly informed got to laughing so violently the
other day that it became necessary to summon
physician. The Post does not mention what she
was laughing at Perhaps it was at the Demo
cratic party's posing as reformer and exclaming,
with tho sigh of a Pecksnif. the tears of an ALI
gator and the appetite of ShylOck, that tho Re-

clerical correspondent imparts to The London
Times a novel method of crcumventing the Suez
Canal monopoly of NJ. de Lesseps. lie calls upon
England to make a canal from the Mediterranean
to a certain point IN the desert and another canal
from the Red Sea to another point within quarter

And so Mr. Cleveland Is recognizing his boom

enough for Presidential candidate.
1T may be sad," remarks The Utica Ob,1rn,
" that the Democratic party of New-York was
never 50 thoroughly united as now" Yes, indeed
