...Archangel, from Portland, Oregon, is a publication of the most startling interest, and because we only notice two articles in its last issue, it must not be supposed that the others are unworthy our attention. The first is a violent attack on Darwinism, in which the train of argument is somewhat as follows: "Darwin denies the Biblical theory of the Creation, and tells us instead that men are descended from monkeys; but who do the monkeys spring from?"

The frigid air penetrates our walls as well as our doors and windows, and even our grates, which are acknowledged to be of a peculiar make, are not proof against this combined attack of the wintry blast. To leave open our outer doors is an utter impossibility, that is, if we object at all to having our feet frozen; and as we are forced to keep our portals closed in self-defence, we are fast gaining the unenviable reputation of "sporting" constantly...
