No MONEY TO LEND - 4d,ey1iscr wants to
know what that loan is for The present propri-
etor'' Of that paper probably received copy
Of the Appropriation Bill. We believe it is the
Legislature that decides upon loans and states
pretty definitely for what purpose. All that the
Government has 10 do is to carry out that decision
Adse,tiser probably has no money TO lend, else
he might see /: in a different light.

themselves upon the delightful weather they are en-
joyng. Some late arrivals from there have even
gone far TO make the statement that they had,
within the past few weeks actually seen dust in the
streets of that usually moist town! We would as
soon expect to mud in the streets Of Lahaina.
A HANDSOME BEQUEsT FOR A WORTHY OBJECT
The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions has been made residuary legatee of the
estate of John c. Brooks, of Portland, Maine, by
which it viii realize some $4,000 By the terms
Of the will, upon the decease Of Mrs Brooks, the

come from which she is TO receive during her life.
We believe the receipts ofthe Board have been dur

this large bequest will enable it to farther extend
its influence.
