THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER AND THE
GLOBE.

The honeyed words Of the Globe, of Satur-
day last, towards the Richmond Enquirer,
appear to have been spurned by the patriotic
editor of that paper, as the following extract
from it Of Tuesday will show: .*

with the Democratic party demand OF lus) in the

hope we have practised honestly upon the principle,
that in opposing the Sub Treasury proposition, We
should bear and folbear and manifest such toler-
ant and conciiaory spirit as is the best calculated
TO keep together the great body of the Democracy.
But we must say, at the same time, that we do not

Unlike the Globe, the Enquirer remains
firm to its consistency. As it was in 1884,
so it continues to be in 1887. The opposite
is the case with the Globe. The Enquirer,

MORAL REFORM.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.

Mrs. Margaret Hunter, aged 40 years,
who resided at No. IA City Hall place,
died yesterday morning of suicide. Dur
ing the previous night she swallowed a
dose OF laudanum and to make assur-
ance doubly sure, she soon after swallow
ed a dose Of corrosive sublimate. Her
death, in very few hours, was the re-

Office agent was for a short time present at
the sale. From the rough estimate he
was able to make, with the bel p ola print

have been less than $4,000 worth offur-
niture, all of it tho most splendid kind
Imaginable 1t was indeed a temple Of
luxury, where nothing was wanting to
captivate the senses, seduce the magma

Establishment was probably in this respect

how can these women afford to lavish
money thus profusely2 Whence; can
such outcasts from society, draw these

questions reveals a system of InisQity,
which may seem incredible to those who
are happily ignorant of the wickedness OF
our cities. There are men, calling them
selves respectable. and who dare to talk
about an honest livelihood, WHO make it
regular business to supply the keepers OF

general plea Is that it would not be best TO
appear singular in the world. But to what
cause can we ascribe the great deClcusion in
the Churches-the great difficulty OF sustain

vast importance, but that Christians let the
spirit Of the world drink up the spiiit of
grace in their own souls-drain their purses.
and consume their time in attention to that
which will not profit soul or body? 1t aD-

it appears to me to be of primary importance
that there should be a revolution ia the
churches, in this matter. How can the
church be light to the world, or a savory
seasoning TO it, so long as they go by the

| Christian Review.
Shall the Christian Revieto be discontinuedf
At a meeting Of several patrons and
friends Of the Christian Review, recently
held in Boston, statement was made
respecting the condition and prospects Of
the work; from which it appeared, that
unless some special and very successful
efforts are speedily made, either to extend
its circulation, or to provide other means
for its support, it must be discontinued
with the present number. Seriously de-
precating such result for reasons which
/ must be obvious to every cons1derate
mind, the brethren present appointed a
committee to devise and execute measures
such as the exigencies OF the case ap-
peared imperiously to demand. ,
This committee, considering 1t as botE
suitable and important, that their brethren
in other places should be consulted, imme-
diately despatched one of their number as
a deputation to the principal cities as far
south as Richmond, with instructions to
submit to all concerned the final Question:
shall the Christian Review BE- dlScon-
tinued!" Much will depend upon the
answer which he shall receive.
The Committee would now respectfully
submit TO ali!the subscribers and readers
of the Review the same question, and
urgently solicit prompt reply.
