tails Of the horrible famine that for the last few
months las desoated Algeria. We hope you will

them to assist an unfortunate siser country aud we

Saxon family has never turned d deaf ear to the

lorego the remembrance thai IN despite Of dis
culties the United States of America nobly
assisted the French worknien distressed BY
example. Ireland too can vOuc for the generosity
Of the republic. We trust, therefore, Mr. Editor that
our appeal will be understood. nation, great,
