Women Save Historic Landmarks.

Nearly twenty-five years ago the women of Boston united to save Old South church, of Revolutionary memory; within two years the women ol Philadelphia have restored Independence Hall of that city. After the death of the poet Lowell, a Cambridge woman started the movement, owing to which the grounds of his home were purchased for a Lowell park. The women of San Francisco have recently endeavored to save the great

Sequoia Grove, and are now agitating a public park for the historic Telegraph Hill, while the women of New Jersey are bent upon preserving the noble Palisades, and those of Brooklyn preparing to honor the martyrs of the prison ship. If a man Is engaged to a girl and she elopes with another man, the party of the first part is saved from getting a mighty poor wife.
