A CHANCE FOR OUR MILLIONAIREs.

The AIyonaW calls upon the leading mil
honalres of the coast to club together and
build a home for poor women who are strug
Cling with adversely and have seen better days.
1t represents what might be, by giving re-
port of meeting supposed to have taken
place at Belmont, wherein about twenty OF
the leading millionaires of the coast discuss
the idea of establishing a woman's home.
About two per cent of the capital of the par
ties named would establish a magnificent
home for the destitute widows of the men who
founded the development of the country,
a place which the inhabitants of the coast are
wont to allude to as Goods Country etc
and where we boast of our generosity, our
wealth, and our wonderful advancement

OBSCURE WRITERs.-The Princeton Revie,o,

New York, has eeen received at this Office.
1t is devoted wholly to ponderous topics. The
principal article in the periodical in question,
that is the largest, is entitled " The rri0yi
nopum orgaaum of Christianity" A careful
ps-usal of thirtY-six pages OF the article fails
utterly to enlighten the reader upon the sub

body had any fixed ideas upon the matter, = |
perusal of the a PRIOR, etc, would result in
complete forgetfulness of them, as far as tho
reader is concerned. There is scarcely a sen
