MINOT S.- MORGAN of Detroit, Michegan, U S.A., who is .mow supplying the pulpit of t.e Mora- vian Chur~h, Christiansted, desires to ascertain where he boarded when he pre- vi(%usly visited St. Croix about the year 1870.

The curtain | has now been thrust aside and we have | the spectacle of the Presiaent using not | only his perogative, but employving it to . discharge his chief legal adviser.
