To Contributors.— All contributions will be considered and passed upon at our 

 earliest convenience, and as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep-

 for, and when they are wanted, it should be so stated on the MS. along with the number 

 desired. The receipt of ali papers will be acknowledged. — Ed.
