A SMALL PULL, BUT A PULL ALTOGETHER.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib,—We never lack a subject for newspaper correspondence. The one now on the board seems to be. the Societies Demonstration in aid of the Hospital, and if carried out, as "Inquirer" states, in your Saturday's issue, most certainly the Hospital. will not be the largest gainer. I would suggest a course which I think all parties on the Thames could easily carry out, and that is, for eachto give a shilling, or sixpence, during this week directly to the Hospital. The method I would suggest to collect the money would be for some one of the committee to place boxes at two or three of the principal business houses in Grahamstown and Shortland (letting the public know where), for a week, and then, if the plan is carried out by the people in giving one of the small sums before mentioned, no fear need be entertained but that the object it is.intended: for would .'be substantially benefited, without any fuss, and at the same time the amount given by each would not distress any, though the times are bad. Trusting to .see it acted upon.— I am, &c, Jack. November Bth, 1875.
