causing changes in this country Is wonderfully

and many days time. The captains OF those
vessels telegraph to different ports inquirinS Tor
freishts. By telegraph they make their engage

The "anti-woman'' articles In the Saturday
Review are all but universally attributed to some
lady writer, and 1t is thought sufficient answer
to her statements to call her "hOrrid creature"
