Before committing suicide in Chicago,
Lars Goldberg wrote out an elaborate de-
nunclation OF the Christian religion.

public works, including sewerage improve
ments, hospital extensions, school bult-
ings, streets, roads, aud so on. The prop
osltion will undoubtedly be favorably re.

capital, the Improvements would create
work for many OF the hundreds now unom-
pIoyed, and thus remove one of the chief
causes of the present dissatisfaction. None
OF the newspaper in Paris offer ANY serious
objections to the proposed loan. There is
no Ananias paper to charge that the i'm
proyements contemplated are in the inter
est of rings, for the parisan press has sufli.
Gent sense to realize and is honest enough
to admit that the expenditure OF money for
objects OF public health and comfort is well
laid out and should be encouraged.
